Jie a husband is too arrogant

Chapter 194 Extra Story [-] A Sleepless Night

Lin held the lamp and came over, the bean-like light shone on Yue Yue'er's delicate and white face, her pair of long eyelashes were dark and curly, trembling slightly like butterfly wings.

Su Yueqiu said, "Why hasn't she woke up yet?"

Lin's greedy eyes wandered around Yue Ya'er, looking for something valuable, and said casually, "I probably bumped my head, and I should wake up tomorrow, just don't hit me stupid!"

As she spoke, she took off the gold and jade collar worn on Yue Yue'er's neck, seeing that the workmanship was exquisite, and the jade embedded on Ruyi was crystal clear, it was valuable, so she hurriedly put it into her bosom.

He looked at Yue Yue'er's wrists and ankles again, but there was nothing else. The hair rope that combed the double horns on his head was a purple-gold hair band, no gold or jade, nothing to be seen.

Lin said bitterly, "It's not the lady of Ji's family, why is she so shabby, she just brought a collar!"

Su Yueqiu hurriedly said, "This collar looks very valuable!"

Lin took it out again to take a closer look, and nodded with a smile, "I've seen good things too. If I pawn this one, it's worth a few hundred taels of silver at least!"

"So many!" Su Yueqiu's eyes widened.

"That's it!" Lin picked up again and glanced at Su Yueqiu, "You are happy this time! When the limelight passes, we will sell this girl and this ring together. The money is enough for us to go to the town to buy a Big yard!"

Su Yueqiu grinned, "I listen to mother!"

When Lin looked back, seeing Zhao Shi stuffed the steamed buns into his mouth, he rolled his eyes so much that he rushed over,

"Little bastard, save some for us! You're a starving bastard!"

……

Half a day had passed, and there was no sign of Crescent Moon, and Su Jiu was sweating in layers on his brow.

While Ji Yuxian sent people to search the city, he also sent people to track down suspicious people along the official road.

Chang Huan went out time and time again, not daring to calm down, let alone imagine what happened to Yue Ya'er now.

Suddenly, Hu Dapao and A Shu came in with a person, quickly stepped into the yard, and shouted, "Master, we have a clue!"

Su Jiu got up suddenly, and walked out with Ji Yuxian.

Hu Dapao held a short and thin man in his hand, threw it on the ground, pointed at him and said, "Master, this man is the driver!"

The man had obviously been beaten, his face was covered with bruises, he was thrown to the ground and howled, he hugged his head and shouted, "Don't hit me, I'll say it, I'll say it!"

"Who instigated it?" Su Jiu picked him up, her eyes were blood red, as fierce as a demon.

The coachman trembled with fright, and hurriedly told the story of Zhao Zhen'er letting her crash the car.

"Zhao Zhen'er!" Su Jiu stood up slowly, clasping her palms.

Ji Yuxian held her hand, with a murderous look in his phoenix eyes, "She is the daughter of the official doctor!"

Chang Huan's pale face changed slightly, and black tides surged in his dark eyes. He knew that it was because of Liu Yinong's incident last time that Yue Ya'er offended Zhao Zhener for helping Liu Yinong, so she was revenged by her. He jumped up, body If it is a ghost, it will go to Zhao's house, the servant of the Ministry of officials.

The city of Shengjing was full of people looking for Yueya'er, and even the forbidden army in the palace was dispatched to search from house to house. People were panicked and the city was full of storms.

Zhao Zhen'er naturally heard about it too, she was sitting in her room fidgeting, she only sent someone to bump into Ji's carriage, but didn't take Yueya'er away, how could that girl disappear?

Faintly, she felt that something was about to happen.

Zhao Jiang, the doctor of the official department, went to bed early today. As soon as it got dark, he entered the room of the third lady in the mansion. He was holding a woman happily.

Suddenly there was a sound of hurried footsteps outside the door, and they stopped outside the door, and the servant gasped, "Master, something happened!"

As soon as the movement in the room stopped, Zhao Jiang asked in a rough voice, "What's the matter?"

"Master, come out and have a look!"

Seeing that the servant's voice was wrong, Zhao Jiang seemed to be in a hurry, put on his clothes and got out of bed, opened the door, and asked, "What happened?"

"Master, you will find out when you go to the front yard!"

Zhao Jiang frowned, and walked quickly to the front yard while arranging his clothes.

At this moment, the entire Zhao Mansion was surrounded, the lights in the front yard were brightly lit, all the servants in the mansion were awakened, running around, not knowing what happened.

As soon as Zhao Jiang entered the front yard, he was taken aback for a moment, and saw that the wall courtyard was surrounded by imperial troops, and some people were surrounded by guards, some of whom he knew.

Hu Dapao, the second-rank general of the imperial court, Qiao An, the secretary of the household department, Xiahuan, the king of Yunnan, and two other people who seemed to be the son and wife of the chief of the Ji family.

What did he do?This is to steal the house?

Zhao Jiang's legs went limp, and he ran over quickly, plopped down and knelt on the ground, "Your Majesty, I have seen the prince, Lord Shangshu, General Hu! I wonder if some adults are coming late at night, what's the matter?"

Su Jiu took a step forward, her voice was cold, "Bring your daughter Zhao Zhen'er here!"

Zhao Jiang was taken aback, then raised his head and said, "Really?"

"Hurry up!" Hu Dapao roared.

"Go, go, I'll go now!" Zhao Jiang didn't dare to ask any more, got up in fear, scrambled and ran to the backyard, and went to find his daughter himself.

Zhao Zhen'er was brought and knelt on the ground with Zhao Jiang, trembling.

Su Jiu held Zhao Zhen'er's shoulders, and asked word by word, "Where is my daughter?"

Zhao Zhen'er suffered severe pain from being caught in the shoulder, her face was pale, and she shook her head in panic, "I don't know, I don't know!"

"Crack!"

As soon as Su Jiuwei exerted force, Zhao Zhener's arm was directly crushed, and she fell to the ground and screamed loudly.

Zhao Jiang next to him was still kneeling, trembling all over, not daring to move.

Su Jiu pulled Zhao Zhen'er up, put her fingers on her eyes, and said murderously, "I'll give you one more chance, tell me where Yueya'er is, or I'll cripple your eyes."

Zhao Zhen'er was so frightened that she burst into tears, salivated, and shook her head in fear, "I don't know, I really don't know! Ma'am, please forgive me, I don't dare anymore, Madam please!"

Su Jiu saw that she seemed genuinely unaware, and her heart sank in panic. Could it be that Yue Ya'er is really not here with Zhao Zhen'er?
Zhao Zhen'er knelt on the ground, kowtowed to Su Jiu, and cried bitterly, "I was wrong, I was really wrong, I shouldn't have found someone to bump into Miss Ji's carriage, but I really didn't take Miss Ji away, I I dare to swear, if I take Miss Ji away, there will be a thunderbolt from the sky, and I will die!"

Chang Huan came over, raised his leg and kicked the woman in the face, kicked her flying, and ordered, "Search for me!"

"Yes!"

The imperial army and the guards of the Yunnan Palace rushed into the backyard of the Zhao family and quickly started searching.

Soon, a woman's scream was heard from the backyard, and there was chaos.

Soon the imperial guards came back and reported one by one, but Miss Ji was not found.

Su Jiu's head buzzed, and she staggered back. Ji Yuxian stretched out his arms to hug her, "Jiu'er!"

Su Jiu's eyes gradually panicked, "Yueya, where is she?"

Ji Yuxian couldn't help feeling flustered, but he could only keep calm and appease Su Jiu, "No matter where she is, we will find her!"

Qiao An ordered someone to wake up Zhao Zhen'er, and asked carefully again in person, Zhao Zhen'er only said that she had someone bump into Ji's carriage and left, and indeed she did not see Yue Yue'er.

If they continued to ask, there were no more useful clues, so everyone had to go back to the house first.

In Ji's mansion, the eldest wife Nangong Bifangzhen and others were also waiting for the news. Seeing their return with gloomy faces, the eyes that had been expecting were dimmed.

Jiang Yuanyou and Hu Qiong Qiaohan ran over and asked crying, "Madam Su, where is Yueyaer?"

Su Nine
Tears welled up, holding Yuanyou in his arms, choked up sobbing hard to make a sound.

Ji Yuxian hugged Su Jiu in his arms, and said in a deep voice, "If Zhao Zhen'er didn't take Yueya'er away, then someone took advantage of the chaos to take Yueya'er away."

Chang Huan nodded apprehensively, "The person who took Yueya'er away should have done it on a whim, not on purpose. We sealed the city gate early, and this person should still be in the city!"

Maybe this person knew Yue Ya'er's identity and wanted to use Yue Ya'er to blackmail Ji's mansion, but he didn't dare to show his face because of the big trouble.

Now they can only speculate wildly.

"I will continue to send people to search in the city!" Hu Dapao said, and walked out quickly.

People in the mansion were in a panic, and no one could sleep peacefully.

……

In the middle of the night, Mrs. Lin, who was sleeping on the bed watching Crescent Moon, woke up suddenly, and heard footsteps outside, which seemed to be coming towards the inn.

She got up and opened the window to look, and sure enough, there were many guards holding torches looking for people from house to house.

Panicked, Lin hurriedly woke up Su Yueqiu and Zhao Shi who were sleeping on the ground, "Someone is here, get up quickly!"

Su Yueqiu stood up abruptly, "What's wrong?"

"Someone is coming, I'll take that girl to hide, wait for the officers and soldiers to come up and you will deal with it!" Lin said.

"I, I dare not!" Su Yueqiu panicked.

"You just don't know what to say!" Lin explained, looking around, but couldn't find a place to hide, so she hugged Yue Ya'er and stuffed it under the bed, and hid in herself, covering Yue Ya'er's mouth with one hand , put the hairpin on her neck with one hand, "Shut up, or I will kill you right now!"

Yue Yue'er's heart was beating fast, she just closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep.

Downstairs, the guards entered the inn and saw that the shop was pitch-black. They found the inebriated shopkeeper on the first floor. After asking a few times, they couldn't find anything, so they went straight to the second floor.

There are three guest rooms on the second floor, two of which are empty, one of them opened the door and entered, and immediately heard a woman screaming.

The leader stepped forward, only to see a woman hiding on the bed with a child in her arms, looking at the person in horror.

He stepped forward and pulled the child out of the woman's arms, but it turned out to be a boy.

"Who are you?" the guard asked.

"We are from Yuhu Mountain!" Su Yueqiu tremblingly said.

"What are you doing here?"

"I took my child into the city to see a doctor, but the city gate is closed, so I can't get out!"

The leader took a look in the house by the light of the torch, and saw that the house was dilapidated, with only a varnished table and a few broken chairs, and there was no place to hide.

I took a look under the bed, and saw that there was a pile of torn bed curtains and clothes underneath, but there was no other abnormality.

"Excuse me!" The leader of the imperial army said, and led the people out of the room, continuing to search for the next house.

Hearing the sound of footsteps going away, Su Yueqiu took a long breath and collapsed on the bed.

Lin stripped off the torn clothes and crawled out from under the bed with Crescent Moon, also in a cold sweat. Just now when the light of the fire came, she almost died suddenly from fright. Fortunately, she had a good eye and piled up the torn clothes in the in front of you.

Carrying Yueya'er on the bed again, Lin patted her chest and said, "Okay, no one will come here now, let's leave the city as soon as the wind blows over tomorrow!"

"Scared me to death!" Su Yueqiu was terrified, but hadn't calmed down yet.

"Hurry up and sleep, I'll come out to find out the news tomorrow morning!" Lin urged.

Su Yueqiu couldn't sleep, she lay on the ground, tossing and turning, restless until dawn.

At dawn, there were still guards on the street questioning passers-by, Lin told Su Yueqiu to buy food, and then went to the city gate to find out when the city gate would open.

Instructing Zhao Shi to be optimistic about Yueyaer, the two went out one after another.

As soon as the two left, Yue Yue'er immediately opened her eyes.

Zhao Shi came over and said with a smile, "So you're pretending to be asleep. I'll tell grandma when she comes back!"

"Don't!" Yue Yue'er's pink and delicate face brought a slight smile, "Don't tell your grandma, or she will beat me. If you don't tell me, I'll give you something as a reward!"

"What?" Zhao Shi asked curiously.

"Turn over the mattress!" Yue Ya'er said.

Zhao Shi climbed onto the bed, reached into the mattress under Yue Ya'er, and took out a silver bracelet inlaid with jade.

The silver bracelet is exquisitely carved with hollowed-out lotus patterns. The lotus petals are inlaid with translucent and exquisite pink jade. The lotus stamens are carved into a small crescent shape. Reflected, there seems to be water waves flashing, exquisite.

Zhao Shi was dumbfounded, and kept stroking and looking at it.

"This bracelet is worth a few silver coins, so I'll give it to my little brother!" Yue Ya'er laughed softly.

"What do I want this for, and I can't eat it!" Zhao Shihan said in a loud voice.

"You can eat it with silver. You can buy almond cakes, water chestnut cakes, sugar figurines, and shortbread cakes. There are so many delicious ones!"

Zhao Shi was drooling when he heard this, "Where can I exchange money?"

Yue Yue'er's eyes flashed, and she said with a smile, "Go out, find a street with more people, and then find a pawn shop with the word "Ji", the shopkeeper there is very kind, and will not bully you as a child, so I can give you more money."

"Really?" Zhao Shi asked with staring eyes.

Yue Ya'er nodded, "But you can't tell your grandma and the others, otherwise they will take the bracelet away and won't give you food in exchange."

Her voice was crisp and smiling, and it sounded as sweet as a bell. Zhao Shi nodded straightly and jumped off the bed, "I'll go right away!"

Thinking of those food, Zhao Shi didn't care about Yue Yue'er, opened the door and ran out.

When he went downstairs, he almost bumped into Su Yueqiu who was entering the door, and then he dodged and ran away.

Su Yueqiu hurriedly shouted, "Shi'er, where are you going?"

"I'm going out to play, I'll be back soon!" Zhao Shi yelled loudly, but he was gone.

When he was in the mountains, Zhao Shi ran up and down the mountains every day, but now he was probably bored, Su Yueqiu didn't take it to heart, looked around, shrunk his shoulders and went into the inn.

Opening the door and entering, one could see Crescent Moon on the bed looking at her with bright black eyes.

Su Yueqiu's heart trembled. Looking at Yueya'er, she couldn't help but think of Su Jiu, and a trace of hatred surged up. She walked over, looked down at Yueya'er, and sneered, "I was married to suffer in the mountains because of your mother." , in the future, you will be Shi’er’s daughter-in-law, and you should repay the debt owed by your mother!”

Yue Ya'er's eyes were as clear as water, she didn't seem to know what she was talking about, she said in a waxy voice, "Auntie!"

Su Yueqiu was startled, "How do you know I'm your aunt?"

Yue Ya'er showed her white teeth and smiled, "I guess! Auntie, can you let me go? My father and mother will definitely give you a lot of money!"

Su Yueqiu froze for a moment, shook her head and said, "I let you go, your mother will kill me!"

"No!" Yue Ya'er shook her head, "Just let me go! If my little brother got lost and was arrested, you would be very anxious and sad, wouldn't you?"

Su Yueqiu's haggard and sallow face showed a panic expression, she seemed to be a little moved, but finally shook her head and said, "When you come to my house, I will treat you well!"

Yue Yue'er bit her lips, "Then can you loosen the rope on my hand? My hand hurts, I won't run!"

Su Yueqiu looked at Yueya'er's immature and lovely face, her heart softened, and she reached out to untie the rope from her hand.

"What are you doing?" There was a sudden cold shout from behind, and Su Yueqiu suddenly turned around, "Mom, you're back!"

Lin came over hurriedly, pushed Su Yueqiu away, with a sneer on her mean face, "This girl is very slippery, just like her mother, don't be fooled!"

Yue Ya'er's eyes were warm and harmless, and she looked at Lin shi calmly.

"Oh!" Su Yueqiu flinched back.

"Where's the truth?" Lin asked.

"He ran out to play!" Su Yueqiu said.

"I know how to go out every day!" Mrs. Lin cursed in a low voice. Seeing that Su Yueqiu bought steamed buns and pickles, she was upset, but she didn't say much, and walked over to eat first.

……

Here, Zhao Shi ran a long way, and then went to a long street, found a passerby and asked about the pawn shop with the word "Ji", and quickly slipped past.

He ran outside the pawn shop and saw the mahogany carved wooden door, which was tall and imposing. He didn't dare to go in for a while, and shrank in the corner to look inside.

The man saw a child in shabby clothes there, thought it was a beggar, went back to the backyard, took a steamed bun, came out and handed it to him.

Zhao Shi took the steamed bun, took a big bite, and asked, "Are you a pawnshop here?"

The guy smiled, "Why, do you have something to pawn?"

Zhao Shi chewed on the steamed bun and nodded heavily.

The man thought someone's child had stolen something from the house, and drove away, "Don't make trouble, go home quickly!"

"I really have something to pawn!" Zhao Shi refused to leave.
