Poisonous girl to marry

Chapter 218 Redemption?

Jiang Wu got up and was about to go to the ground, but she was very weak because of a high fever and a day and a night. When she lifted the quilt suddenly, she felt that her eyes were black and her nose was cold, and the movements of her hands were also a little sluggish.But her eyes were wide open, unlike ordinary dizzy people who would subconsciously close them, so Huo Shijiu didn't notice it either.

"Wu'er, you stay in the house. I'll come back after I go to see what my father-in-law is doing." Huo Shijiu was worried, and pressed Jiang Wu's shoulder and said, "Father-in-law won't do anything to me, don't worry about it." ?"

"I'm really worried." Jiang Wu raised her head and said seriously: "If I'm not around, it's hard to guarantee that he won't bully you verbally, and you won't resist because your father-in-law is in the way of him." Grabbing the neatly folded orange peel Putting on the red jacket, he combed his long hair with his fingers and casually pulled it up. He fixed it with a golden and jade-encrusted hairpin, then shrank his neck and put on the white fur collared cloak that was placed on the kang cabinet beside him, saying: :"I go with you."

Huo Shijiu saw that Jiang Wu was so stubborn, no matter how much he tried to persuade him, it might not be helpful, so he stopped trying to stop him, and picked up a royal blue robe to wear.

Jiang Wu saw the bandages on his hands, frowned and stepped forward to fasten the collar button, asking, "How did you hurt?"

"I fell down." Huo Shijiu said half the truth.

Jiang Wu squinted at him, "He's such a big man, he can't even walk steadily? If you don't tell me, I have a way to know."

"It's true that I fell down. I just had a play with the emperor in the palace." Huo Shijiu took her hand, "You don't have to think about it, the emperor has promised me to change it. I don't want to change it to the British Duke. It will keep him happy."

Jiang Wu could hear the firmness in his words, and said worriedly: "Don't be impatient, it's better to think long-term. The foundation of the British public can't be achieved overnight. If you want to disintegrate him, it is definitely impossible to do it overnight. "

"I know." Huo Shijiu put on the hood for her, smoothed the broken hair at her temples, and lifted the cotton curtain.

All the servants in front of the door saluted together.

The two of them got off Danchi, stepped on the snow to the front yard, and entered the front hall.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw Jiang Xuewen's back sitting on a wooden wheelchair.

Xu Shi heard footsteps, Jiang Xuewen turned around slowly, saw Jiang Wu and Huo Shijiu, but did not speak immediately.

Huo Jiujiu took Jiang Wu's hand and let her sit on the armchairs with official green mattresses placed side by side.He also ordered people to move the charcoal basin closer, and took a brass hand stove with a handkerchief on Jiang Wu's knee for her to hold and cover her hands.

After everything was settled, Huo Shijiu saluted Jiang Xuewen: "Father-in-law's visit is really unexpected."

The corners of Jiang Xuewen's lips twitched, he didn't say anything for a long time, turned his gaze to Jiang Wu, and said in a low voice: "Sister Wu, are you feeling better?"

Jiang Wu was taken aback, and the fingers of both hands holding the hand stove tightened.What is he asking?
Huo Shijiu smiled and said, "It's just the wind and cold, Wu'er is already much better."

Jiang Xuewen did not answer Huo Shijiu, but looked at Jiang Wu with fiery eyes, and said: "A while ago, people from the British government came to deliver a letter and asked me to attend the banquet, but I didn't go. Later they wrote again, saying I missed a good show..."

"Master Jiang." Jiang Wu abruptly interrupted Jiang Xuewen's words, and said with a livid face: "Whatever you want to say, just say it."

He just heard that Jiang Wu committed suicide by throwing himself into the lake, so he was very worried.

But now Jiang Wu is like an irritated hedgehog, the thorns all over his body are standing on end, and his words are choked in his throat again.

In the past, he wouldn't have cared so much. Even if Jiang Wu was drugged, it was because she chose the wrong path and didn't listen to him.

But now, after the little emperor and Huo Shijiu had talked so much with him, and after the British Duke had played him, the balance in his heart had already begun to tilt.

See Jiang Xuewen is silent.Jiang Wu stood up and said: "If Mr. Jiang didn't give you an order, please go back."

"Sister Wu. Do you intend to continue this stalemate with me?"

Jiang Wu said: "Otherwise? I am no longer your daughter, so I won't embarrass you anymore. You should live your life honestly and honestly, so don't get involved with treacherous people like us. Oh, that's right." Jiang Wu suddenly said: "I forgot, Master Jiang also sees people ordering dishes, and you can trust the British Duke."

Jiang Xuewen's face turned red, he was speechless and couldn't find words to refute.He didn't know when it started, but he couldn't even show any reason in front of Jiang Wu.

"Sister Wu, I am your father!"

"Now you are my father? It's really interesting. Could it be that I burned the house and burned out your family affection?" Jiang Wu said: "Master Jiang, you are full of ambition, I admire you. But you want to kill your daughter And my grandson, I don’t care about blood and family relationship at all, I hate it even more. I don’t want to get entangled with you no matter how deep it is, wouldn’t it be good to just end it? People outside will only say that I am a naughty woman who is not filial, and I will definitely not pollute your good Fame. Maybe it can win you more sympathy. Wouldn’t it be good? Please go back. It’s better not to meet again from now on.”

Jiang Wu hugged the stove and pulled Huo Shijiu to leave.

Jiang Xuewen only felt that his heart was twisted like a knife, and he gritted his teeth tightly to suppress the blurted words of persuasion. He could only force himself to say calmly: "Right now there are rumors that you committed suicide by throwing yourself into a lake. Be careful yourself."

Jiang Wu paused, then said, "Don't bother."

Back in the master bedroom, Jiang Wu felt as if she had fought a battle, she leaned on the kang with an official green pillow in her arms, and said to Huo Shijiu who had been silent beside her for a long time: "Aying, he went back? "

"Don't worry, I have arranged personal protection."

"That's good." Jiang Wu hesitated, and then asked: "The whole city knows about the fact that I threw myself into the lake?"

This incident was vividly rendered, and of course someone was manipulating it behind the scenes, and it goes without saying that this person knew who it was.

Huo Shijiu patted her head and said, "Don't worry about this kind of thing."

"I don't care. In fact, I don't care how outsiders talk about me. I only care about what people I care about think of me."

Huo Shijiu said: "In my eyes, you will always be the best."

Although Jiang Wu knew that Huo Shijiu's words also had elements of comforting her, and a person as smart as him must have seen the awkwardness in her heart, but she couldn't help but curled the corners of her mouth, got up and snuggled into Huo Shijiu's arms , said: "The past, since it has happened, I will admit it all. I am not a person who dares to be or not to be. Don't worry about me."

Knowing that she was trying to be brave, Huo Shijiu was still happy that she could speak frankly.

Jiang Wu hesitated again: "I'm worried that the British Duke will still use my father."

"Don't worry, I've arranged someone, it's all right."

No matter how ruthless he is verbally, he is still Jiang Wu's biological father after all.Huo Shijiu knew that Jiang Wu valued love and righteousness, and the reason why he treated Jiang Xuewen so coldly now was because he was too disappointed.

"Go back to Lord Marquis." Bing Song replied from outside the door: "The old master and the second master are here. Also, the emperor arranged for an imperial doctor to ask for the pulse of the wife. Everyone is coming here now."

Jiang Wu and Huo Jiujiu sat up straight and looked at each other.

It's bad, Huo Dashuan and Huo Eryi must have known something when they came here like this.

I don't know how to spread rumors outside, wouldn't it be bad if they misunderstood Jiang Wu?

Huo Shijiu scratched his hair.

He was very tired, and he still hadn't recovered, but things happened one after another, but Jiang Wu needed rest more than him.

"You rest here and let the imperial doctor come in to show you. I'll go see father and A Ming first."

Jiang Wu thought for a while, then nodded in response.

After the imperial physician checked Jiang Wu's pulse, he looked at the medicine prescribed by Dr. Zhou, discussed how to increase or decrease the dosage of some medicinal materials, and then went into the palace to reply to the little emperor's words.

Huo Shijiu came back soon, only Huo Dashuan and Huo Eranyi had gone back.Jiang Wu was curious about how he persuaded him to leave, but she didn't ask carefully.

After living in this way for two days, Jiang Wu's body has recovered, and she was sure that she would not let the old man and children get sick when they returned home, so they set off to go back.

In fact, the house on Wuyuanbo Avenue is not far from Huo's Mansion, and the carriage stopped after a while.

As soon as he got out of the car, he saw a familiar figure.

"Miss Hongfeng?" Jiang Wu smiled in surprise: "Why are you in front of the Hou Mansion?"

"Madam, Lord Hou." Pei Hongfeng bowed to the two of them, and said respectfully: "It's about our girl Dan Xin's wife's situation. She specially asked me to come and see. When I came a while ago, the master of the house said that Madam and Lord Hou were in other places. Courtyard, I will be back in two days, so I will continue to come and have a look."

Pei Hongfeng took out an envelope from her bosom, presented it to Jiang Wu with both hands, and said: "This is for Madam, please have a look." She said goodbye and left.

Jiang Wu and Huo Shijiu boarded the pony carriage and went to Xiaoyi Academy along the way.In the carriage, she opened the letter.

Yang Xi didn't write any more polite words, but directly expressed her concern, and asked about Cao Yu's situation tactfully, saying that she had heard about Du Mingyuan's situation, and was willing to help. When she came out, she wanted to thank her face to face, thanking her for returning the jade plaque to its original owner.

Jiang Wu folded the letter and stuffed it back into the envelope, saying: "I'm too busy these days to take care of it, and I don't know what's going on with Yuan'er."

"I heard from Yu once, but you happened to have a fever, so I didn't tell you. Mrs. Du went back and checked thoroughly, and restrained Cui Shi. Your good sister is now eating and drinking, and the two stepsisters They wanted to cause trouble, but because Tingyu was protecting them, they didn't dare to make trouble."

Jiang Wu immediately felt at ease.The heavy stone that had been pressing in my heart for a few days moved away, and said with a smile: "Your reputation as a treacherous official is really useful. If you were gentle, they would not be so afraid of you. It seems that I said that I am a fake tiger. That's right."

Huo Jiujiu smiled and said, "The husband has to work harder and be a mighty tiger."

The two laughed and chatted, and came to the upper room after a while.

After getting out of the carriage, just as he was about to enter the house, he saw Sixi rushing in from outside.

"Master Hou, Lord Hou! Eunuch Jing, who is next to the emperor, is here!"
