After the general's wife was reborn, everyone knelt down and begged her for mercy.

Chapter 24 The Habayashi Guards withdrew
"Back to the old lady, it was someone from the Yulin Guards who sent the message." The servant of the concierge hurriedly replied, "They are still outside. The butler is greeting me. Ask the young one to come over first and send the message to the old lady."

"Okay, great." Huo's eyes were red with excitement, "Mother Yuan, hurry up and ask how much silver is needed." After a pause, "And, hurry up, call everyone over. .”

In fact, there are not many mistresses in the General's Mansion. Ning Ruyan is not here and the Gong family has divorced. Therefore, the only ones who can come over are Aunt Zhao, Aunt Sun, and Jiang Mingyue, who is just ten years old.

Aunt Zhao was the most excited, after all, her son was still in prison, while Aunt Sun was holding her daughter's hand and standing silently in the corner.

Aunt Yuan quickly found out that one person had to pay 500 taels of silver, and two people could go to Nanyuan to pick up someone after paying a total of 1000 taels.

"I just said that our general will be fine, and he can finally come out now." Huo smiled, "However, these 1000 taels of silver are not a small number, and the public does not have that much, so look at the silver in your hands. Take as much as you can."

"Old Madam." Aunt Zhao suddenly felt heartbroken when she heard that she wanted to take the money herself, "Isn't the eldest lady in charge? She has money to pay."

Huo naturally thought so too, but he couldn't say this: "Isn't this why you haven't come back?"

"Old madam, the fact that the eldest madam has been staying in Nanyuan means that Mr. Jiang is satisfied with her, right? Then what money do you need?"

Huo was stunned for a moment, obviously he hadn't thought of this yet.

"Old madam, wouldn't it be enough as long as the eldest madam says a few words in front of Mr. Jiang?"

"But now she's not back and I can't see her."

"Then let someone go and notify him. Father-in-law is coming back. As the head of the family, shouldn't she come forward to pick him up?"

Huo felt it made sense when he heard it, so he asked the housekeeper to inform the Yulin Guards.

Jiang Yan's people naturally heard the conversation between Huo and others and reported it to him.

"Ayan, how's it going? Am I right?" After hearing this, Yuli smiled like a fox.

"I'm willing to admit defeat." Jiang Yan didn't care, "Who would have thought that the dignified Dingguo General's Mansion would become what it is today? If Jiang Guan was still alive, I'm afraid he would be so angry with these unscrupulous descendants that he would jump out of the coffin. .”

"It's just a pity Xiao Yan'er." Youli sighed, "She actually married into such a family, but fortunately, that thing Jiang Bonian is dead."

"Li Jiu." Jiang Yan called.

"Sir." Li Jiu came in immediately.

"Go to the General's Mansion and send a message. If you don't give us money today, tomorrow the salary will be 5000 taels per person. The day after tomorrow it will be [-] taels. If you stay for one day, it will be [-] taels. If you stay for more than ten days, you will have no chance."

"Yes." Li Jiu turned and left.

Huo couldn't wait for Ning Ruyan to come, so she wanted to go to Wutong Courtyard to ask for money. Unfortunately, the door of Wutong Courtyard was closed tightly. She went there in person without asking him to open it. She had no choice but to go to Wutong Courtyard first as it was getting dark. I took out all the money from the public house, and when it was not enough, I plundered Aunt Zhao's private money. If it was not enough, I used my private money to make up for it, and collected 1000 taels and gave it away.

Less than an hour after the money was sent out, Jiang Changgong and Jiang Bowen were sent back. One of them walked back by himself, while the other was carried back.

The two of them were still wearing the same clothes as when they were taken away, but they were dilapidated and dirty. Jiang Changgong was groggy. If his chest hadn't been heaving, he would have been dead.

Jiang Bowen lost even more weight, and he looked as depressed as if he was fleeing.

Huo and others cried sadly for a while, but they did not forget to give the two of them a bath with grapefruit water, and sent for the doctor.

By the time I finished my busy meal, the lights were already on.

However, Huo still had someone prepare a sumptuous dinner to welcome her husband and concubine.

Only then did everyone realize that the Yulin guards who originally surrounded the General's Mansion had already withdrawn.

Some servants tentatively went out to take a look, and found that no one was stopping them. Only then did they believe that the General's Mansion had overcome the difficulty.Some people who had interacted with the General's Mansion before even sent people over to inquire about the information.

After Huo received the news, she ran to the door in person despite the darkness and looked at it. Tears fell from her eyes and she shouted "ancestors bless you".

Ning Ruyan didn't know what happened in the General's Mansion. When she woke up, she found that it was already dark and she was still sleeping on the man's arm, so she felt a little embarrassed.

"I slept so deeply." Jiang Yan curled his lips, "My arms are numb."

Ning Ruyan stood up hurriedly.

Jiang Yan frowned and took his arm back. After moving it vigorously for a few times, he glanced at Ning Ruyan and said, "Help me up."

Ning Ruyan hurried over and helped the person up.

"Help me change my clothes." Jiang Yan said and opened his arms.

Ning Ruyan frowned, but she still accepted her fate and came to serve the old man.

After cleaning up, Xiuhe Xiuju brought hot water towels in, but after putting them down, she went out again.

Ning Ruyan:......

Isn’t that girl supposed to serve others?

"This commander doesn't like to be served by others." Jiang Yan seemed to know Ning Ruyan's thoughts and said lightly.

"Oh." Ning Ruyan responded, then helped the other person brush his teeth and wash his face. After he was finished, he cleaned up himself.

"This is facial ointment." Jiang Yan took a box from the table and handed it to Ning Ruyan, "The plum blossom scented one should be what you commonly use, right?"

Ning Ruyan looked at the box and smiled: "Thank you, sir."

This is something from Huarong Pavilion. It is made with Mrs. Li’s exclusive secret recipe. When applied on the face, the skin will be very moisturized and the face will not get chapped in winter. And she has indeed been using this cream, but... The ones she used were prepared by Lady Li alone. Although they were all scented with plum blossoms, there were differences when you tasted them carefully. However, she would not tell the difference.

"As long as you like it, pack up and go out for breakfast." Jiang Yan turned around and walked out, not letting Ning Ruyan see the corners of his mouth.

Breakfast was very simple, just side dishes, rice porridge and steamed buns, but Jiang Yan also had an extra bowl of soup, which was helpful for wound healing.

Ning Ruyan looked at the other party and hesitated to speak.

"Say something."

"I think adults should stay in bed for two days. Bai Zhi said that the thread can only be pulled out after it has healed. If you keep moving like this, it will not heal easily."

"I will consider."

"and also……"

Jiang Yan raised his eyes.

"Sir, let's... cooperate."

"Cooperation?" Jiang Yan frowned slightly, "Why are you cooperating with me?"

"Take my... dream with predictive function."
