After the whole family was swept away, I lay down flat

Chapter 785 Farewell
Although Haitang said some harsh words, Jin Jiashu was still very happy.

As long as Sister Hai agrees to marry him, the rest... isn't that what should be done?

Today he took the initiative to ask Hai Meimei to marry him. If he betrays her in the future, it will naturally be his fault. Hai Meimei is angry with him, hates him, and ignores him, which is all right! If he dares to kill Hai Meimei, then he deserves to die! If he doesn't do it himself, Hai Meimei will do it. I just hope that by then, Hai Meimei will not leave any loopholes for people to see through, and can live a rich and comfortable life after his death. That is what he hopes in his heart -

No no no! How could he think like that? !
He would never do such a heartless thing, let alone hurt Sister Hai. He would stay with her for the rest of his life, grow old together, and have many children and grandchildren. Not to mention hurting Sister Hai, if there were outsiders who wanted to harm Sister Hai, he would stand in front of her and fight them to the death!

Although... it's likely that the sea girl is holding a sword and blocking him, fighting desperately...

Jin Jiashu shook his head, trying hard to get that image out of his mind.

Anyway, he would never let Sister Hai down and would treat her well for the rest of his life. Of course, he had to do his best to convince his "Aunt".

She had abandoned him to be someone else's concubine and someone else's mother. She would never be his mother again in this life. Why couldn't she let him be happy for once? As long as she agreed to let him marry Sister Hai, he would definitely respect her as his "aunt" and do his best to keep her secret!

He also had to protect himself. He couldn't let Sister Hai and her family be bullied because of him, nor could he lose his life and make Sister Hai suffer the pain of losing her spouse...

He promised to treat her well for the rest of her life, which meant that he wanted her to have everything she wanted. A rich life, a respectable status, many children and grandchildren, a harmonious relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law... all of these were what she deserved! He promised her, so he must do it!

Jin Jiashu seemed to be full of energy. If Haitang hadn't reminded him, he would have almost forgotten that he still had to pack his luggage and move to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion for a short stay.

Haitang reminded him, but he was reluctant to let her go, so he begged her to stay in the house and talk to him.

As he packed his luggage, he said, "Everything was fine before, but someone suddenly came to try to kill me. I'm afraid something has happened in the capital. Although I'm only moving to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion to take shelter for a few days, I may have to leave for the capital someday. I'm afraid I won't have time to say goodbye to you, Sister Hai, so I can only tell you in advance. Don't worry, I'll do everything I need to do when I get to the capital. I'll contact Brother Hai if I have a chance and try to write back to let him know I'm safe."

Although he and Haitang had secretly made a lifelong commitment, he did not want to cause gossip about her by writing to her. The best way, of course, was to use someone else to deliver the letter to Haitang. In the capital, there was no better choice than Haijiao.

Haitang advised him: "If you can write a letter, then write it. If you can't, don't force yourself. If you can see your brother in the capital, you can tell him about your affairs in private, and he will write to tell me the situation. My brother arrived in the capital earlier than you, and he knows a lot of people, so he is well-informed. If there is something you don't understand, you can also ask his opinion, maybe you can benefit from it, who knows."

Haijiao is a reborn person and knows some information about his previous life, which can be of some help to Jin Jiashu, so that he won't be confused and deceived by some evil person with a kind face but a wicked heart.

Jin Jiashu readily agreed. He and Haijiao were close friends, and he had always trusted Haijiao. Now Haijiao had become his brother-in-law, so he had no reason to hide his doubts from Haijiao. But when it came to writing letters, he preferred to write them himself, or at most he could just give them to Haijiao to send. This wasn't just about delivering a message, he also had to tell Haimei something from his heart in the letter...

As they were talking, people from the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion arrived.

Although the Duke of Zhenguo did not come in person, he sent his trusted captain of the personal guards with 30 men to take over the captured black-clad men and the corpses on the ground. The captain of the personal guards also had to escort Jin Jiashu and Ma Shangyi to the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion. Guard Lin would also go with them. Ma Shangyi had already asked Chunyu to pack her luggage. Jin Jiashu had almost finished packing as well.

Haitang whispered to him, "Take the urgent things with you. When you get there, if you find that you forgot to bring something, just send someone back to get it. Don't procrastinate, and put your own safety first. Don't come out casually after entering the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, and don't see outsiders as much as possible, just in case. When you get to the capital, don't be too anxious, and be cautious in everything. When you are in front of Madam Xu, you'd better control your temper. Things will be smoothed over if you take it slow. If you make her angry and she refuses to see you, what good will it do to your plan? She always hopes that you can live a good life. Even if there is something that you disagree with, you should persuade her well and don't make the relationship awkward."

The relationship between the two has changed now, and Haitang dares to speak directly about some things. Jin Jiashu nodded repeatedly, convinced: "Don't worry, sister, I won't do anything stupid."

He carried his luggage out of the room, and Haitang helped him carry his cloak. When they reached the yard, the personal soldiers of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion immediately took the things away.

Ma Shangyi had already changed her bloodstained clothes, but her face was still pale. She held Jin Jiashu's hand, turned to Haitang and said, "Good boy, thank you for tonight. It's late, you should go back, and let your grandparents not worry. I'm fine, and Shu Ge'er is also safe. When we get to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, no one can hurt us anymore. I'll tell them after I figure out what happened, and you tell them not to ask outside. Be careful when you go out these few days. If there are any strange movements in our house, the neighbors don't have to pay attention to it, lest those bad guys come back and hurt someone."

Haitang agreed and said, "Madam, take good care of your injuries. If you need any help, just send someone to let me know."

Ma Shangyi gave her a loving smile: "Okay."

Jin Jiashu helped Ma Shangyi out and got on the carriage. Chunyu followed the carriage, and Guard Lin rode his horse to guard the carriage closely. Zhou Xiaojian and Lu Ga Wa were injured and would stay at the Jin family temporarily, and make arrangements after dawn.

Haitang stood in front of the Jin family's gate and watched the guards of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion escort the carriage away. The alley became quiet again.

Grape walked up to her with a worried look on her face: "Sister, it will be dawn soon, so you should go home and rest early. I have already said hello to Aunt Cui, and I will stay at the Jin family to help tonight." Since Zhou Xiaojian was injured, she naturally had to stay by his side to take care of him.

Haitang responded, but did not walk towards the nearby front door of her own house with the other servants of the Hai family. Instead, she turned back to the backyard of the Jin family, moved the box containing old letters from Jin Jiashu's study, and climbed over the wall of the backyard to return to her own home.

She stuffed the box into the low cabinet at the end of the kang in her room, locked the cabinet door, and told Vanilla: "Watch closely, don't let anyone get close, and you are not allowed to touch it!"

Vanilla opened her eyes wide and nodded quickly.

Haitang hid the box, changed out of her double-breasted cotton jacket that was stained with a few spots of blood, put on a clean cotton robe, tidied her hair, and then went to the upper room in the main courtyard in front.

Such a big thing happened tonight, and my grandparents would probably not be able to sleep well. She had to go and report it to them.
