Chapter 564 Reporting to the Police

Jiang Shangxian hesitated and said, "It's curfew today, so no one from the Zhao family will be out. But tomorrow, everyone outside will be looking for you. You can stay here for now. I'm leaving the city early tomorrow morning. Jiulang will be back with me in about a month. If you need anything, have the guards at the mansion secretly look for Wang Mingqian. Don't act rashly. There's still room for a reversal."

What room is there?

Naturally, they would find another princess from the royal family to be the princess for marriage.

Jiang Shangxian seems extremely selfish on this issue. Even though she knows that this will make another girl's life difficult, she still hopes that her friend can be happy without hesitation.

Zhao Shan remained silent and did not answer. Jiang Shangxian was too tired and had no mood to give him any psychological counseling. She had to travel tomorrow and if she didn't rest now, she might fall ill on the way.

The next morning, Jiang Shangxian's face was swollen.

Strictly speaking, her right gum was swollen, which made the right side of her face look bulging, as if she had a piece of candy in her mouth.

When he went to say goodbye to Liu Manqiang and Zhao Yue, he was almost detained in Zhao Yue's house because of this.

Fortunately, Liu Manqiang was there, so he managed to escape.

Zheng Qiuyi escorted her out and handed her a bundle. "Madam, this is what the old lady prepared. It has instructions on how to use it and what its effects are. It will be useful when the time comes. There's also a book inside, written by the old lady herself. It contains common characters used by the Xiou people. Madam, please take some time to read it on the way."

"Please ask Granny Zheng to thank my grandmother for me." Jiang Shangxian really needed this right now, and he didn't have the slightest reluctance to study that he had in the past.

Because of Zhao Shan yesterday, her self-defense kit was almost empty.

Zheng Qiuyi took out a small round porcelain jar from the pouch at his waist, glanced at her swollen cheek, and said with a smile: "This is the ointment that this old servant made myself, but the color is not very pretty. Madam, apply some on your face at night, and it will go away soon."

She hadn't prepared anything, but when she saw Jiang Shangxian's face, she took out a small jar.

"Thank you, Granny Zheng." It's all she needs!

Jiang Shangxian raised his signature smile, but it hurt him and he gasped.

The smile in Zheng Qiuyi's eyes deepened: "This old servant is waiting for the lady to bring Jiulang back. This mansion still needs more people to be lively."

"Don't worry, Granny Zheng."

Jiang Shangxian agreed with her that the family should live a peaceful life together.

forecourt.

Zhao Shan was in a trance, half asleep and half awake, throughout the night. Every time he felt he was about to fall asleep, he would suddenly wake up with a start.

It was almost dawn when he fell into a drowsy sleep.

The son had just fallen asleep when someone knocked hard on the door. Runzhen's anxious voice came from outside the door: "Master Zhao! Master Zhao! Wake up!"

Zhao Shan suddenly opened his eyes, gasping for breath. It took him a few breaths to regain consciousness. The door had already been opened by the anxious Run Zhen. He tried his best to ignore the chill on his back. "What happened?"

Runzhen looked anxious and reached out to take the prepared robe for Zhao Shan to change into.

Zhao Shan was about to refuse when she quickly said, "The General of the Central Guard just sent word. This morning, the Zhao family went to the Jinwu Guard to look for him, but when they couldn't find him, they said they were going to Wannian County to report to the authorities, and also to the Dali Temple. The General of the Central Guard said that we can't stay in the city now. Scholar Zhao, hurry up and leave the city with my wife, or you'll be stuck!"

Report to the police! ?

Zhao Shan looked at her in shock, trying to find the possibility that she was joking, but Runzhen's expression at this moment was too real, and he couldn't help but believe it.

Knowing this, he hurriedly picked up his boots and put them on, then said quickly but with a bit of panic, "Where is your wife going outside the city?"

After all, he is an official in office. If Wannian County treats this matter as a major event and investigates it too strictly, he may not be able to return to the city.

"My wife is going to go with my aunt to worship Buddha outside the city. Scholar Zhao will go with them to hide for a while and wait for news from the General of the Central Army. If they can find a way to meet the Fifth Lady of the Li family, my aunt will bring me back to the city. She is the legitimate daughter of the Cui family, so I'm sure the guards at the city gate won't dare to search her carriage thoroughly."

This is a bit too modest. Although Cui Shuhua doesn't like to socialize with others, considering the relationship between Cui and Lu, it's not an unforgivable crime. Who would dare to search the carriage she is riding in?

Zhao Shan felt relieved when he heard this: "Thank you for troubling Aunt Cui."

Runzhen dressed him as quickly as possible and walked out with his men. "It's not far away. If there is any change in the city, the General of the Central Army and our family will also send a message. The lady loves Jiulang and my wife the most, so the scholar can rest assured."

In the carriage outside, Jiang Shangxian, who had just been shocked by the news of reporting to the police, was drinking chrysanthemum tea under the watchful eyes of Cui Shuhua.

"Why is it so swollen?"

Cui Shuhua frowned. "How are we going to travel like this? The journey is exhausting, and it might even make things worse. Should we wait until we're better?"

Look at this face, it's really disgusting.

She hates ugly people the most.

"Mmmm."

Jiang Shangxian's cheeks puffed up and he shook his head to express his refusal.

There is enough to do, and we can't delay any longer.

Every day later, Cui Bianxu would be in greater danger.

She burped, put down the teacup, took out the ointment given by Zheng Qiuyi, and applied it directly on her face without using a mirror.

I don't know what this ointment is made of. It's green and black, and smells like a faint fragrance and a strong herbal scent. Fortunately, it feels cool when applied, which is very comfortable.

Cui Shuhua leaned back and waved her handkerchief in disgust: "What have you become of you?"

Jiang Shangxian grinned foolishly at her with the left corner of his mouth wide open, and then he saw Runzhen lift the curtain and walk in.

"Have you settled everyone?"

Runzhen nodded: "Yes, Master Zhao is in the carriage at the back. He has a few mothers-in-law taking care of him, so he should be fine."

"Well, that's good." Xiao Jiang was very confident in his team of thugs.

Cui Shuhua listened to them quietly without asking any questions.

The affairs of the Zhao family in Tianshui have nothing to do with her.

But since the pension insurance has already been requested, it’s not a big deal, so I’ll just help out.

It's just some love affairs.

Jiang Shangxian took out the scroll of commonly used characters of Western Ou written by Liu Manqiang and prepared to study it carefully. He also wanted to show it to his aunt, as he was not completely unlearned.

But as soon as I opened Xiao Jiang's eyes, everything went dark.

What is all this!

She's going to the police! She needs legal help!

Cui Shuhua saw her pretending to take out a book, only to close her eyes and fall back after just one glance. Her swollen, black face was particularly funny, so she snatched the book from her hand and said, "You can read if you want, but you have to make such a weird face to tease me."
