Chapter 32 Chapter 32 Suddenly Chapter

32

The sun was blazing in the courtyard, so hot that it was smoking, but there was a cool breeze in the house. Jiang Yu ate the watermelon cut by the maid while listening to He's talk about the things in the capital. "Zhao Chunpeng was sent to the prison of the Ministry of Justice by the prince. Lord Zhao was naturally anxious, but he bumped into the prince's face, which was really wrong."

Jiang Yu thought of Zhao Chunpeng's behavior. He often rode a horse in the downtown area of the capital, and he had long been complained about. Otherwise, when he was beaten by the prince that day, no one would come to watch and scold him for beating him well.

From the details, it is obvious that Zhao Chunpeng has more than just this one thing.

Although He tried to express it calmly, there was obviously a bit of gloating in her eyes. Obviously, this Zhao Chunpeng was very unpopular.

"Speaking of which, I heard that the prince bumped into Zhao Dechun when he was leaving Jiang's restaurant."

He looked at Jiang Yu cautiously, then held her hand and said, "The weather has been hot recently, and the carriage is even hotter. Qing'er is still so young, maybe she has heatstroke. I thought it would be better to stay in Datong for a few more days. A ship from the Mao family will arrive in a few days, and there will be a lot of new things on it. Didn't you say last time that my bronze mirror is very clear, that is, it is imported from outside, so go pick a few suitable ones, the price should be half cheaper than what the store offers, and it is also good to give them to others."

Jiang Yu understood that this was He's hint for her not to return to Beijing for the time being, just like the content in Du Haoyu's letter.

It seems that the situation in Beijing is indeed not very good.

The two children had been arguing over the Book of Songs before, but now they were playing together. Perhaps they felt bored inside the house, so they ran outside to play. When He accompanied Jiang Yu out, they were beside the small pond in the front garden, followed by a group of maids and old women. Du Qing was wearing a small hat made of lotus leaves on her head, and she was looking up to put it on He Rui. Jiang Yu knew that Du Qing learned this from his classmates in school.

He looked at them and said with a smile, "My boy is very naughty, and Qing'er is so lively too, so they get along well."

Before she could finish her words, she saw He Rui jump three feet high, directly grabbed the sleeve of the wet nurse beside her, and said, "What is this?"

Du Qing was holding a frog bigger than her palm in her small hand, and said with a bit of cunning in her eyes, "Frog, you are not afraid of this, are you?"

Jiang Yu was helpless and wanted to step forward to pull Du Qing back, saying, "This child is really disrespectful and has been spoiled by us. Don't let him scare your master."

But He grabbed Jiang Yu and said, "A kid is afraid of a frog, what's the matter? Next year when he turns six years old, I plan to find a martial arts master for him."

Jiang Yu looked at He with admiration.

He walked over and took the green-skinned and white-bellied frog from Du Qing's hand, which surprised Du Qing so much that he turned to show an admiring look. He laughed, rubbed Du Qing's head, and said to her son He Rui, "Mom grew up in the fields, and I loved catching this thing the most. How can you, a man who wants to stand tall and proud, be afraid of this? Hold it for me!"

He Rui made a fuss, but did not dare to resist. He closed one eye and held one of the frog's feet. It felt soft and a little warm, but it was nothing. He became bolder and grabbed the whole thing. Then he saw that the frog was obediently in his hand, and only dared to open its mouth in grievance, without making a sound. Suddenly, he became energetic and said, "Mom, this frog is not very scary." "

That's right. Look, sister Qing'er isn't afraid, but you, as a brother, are afraid. What's wrong with that?"

Jiang Yu was going to go back, but He Rui couldn't bear to leave Du Qing. The two were having fun, and Du Qing also thought He Rui was more fun. Compared with the classmates who followed the rules in school, He Rui could play anything and dared to play anything. Even if he was scared to tears by frogs, he would forget it as soon as he turned his head, and he caught more frogs than her.

Seeing that the two little ones were reluctant to leave, He was so happy that she said, "Your grandmother's house is just two streets away. There is a long way to go in the future."

The new house bought by Du was very close to the He Mansion.

However, Du Qing fell asleep in the carriage after a short journey. Cuiping carefully carried Du Qing back to the room. Jiang Yu opened the window and sat on the edge of the bed to fan the child.

Du Qing's sleeping face was flushed. Jiang Yu couldn't help but bend down and kissed her daughter's face. Cuiping said distressedly, "Madam, please go and rest for a while. I'm here."

Jiang Yu nodded, handed the fan to Cuiping, and then went out.

When she arrived at the East Courtyard where her parents lived, the maid was lowering her head, as if trying to avoid the sounds coming from inside. She was a little strange. Usually, when she came back by herself, her mother would definitely be the first to know, but today it was quiet.

The weather was hot, but she was sweating after walking a few steps. Jiang Yu wanted to go into the house quickly, but she heard Du's angry voice from inside, "I was wondering why the third child had free time to come out, it turns out that he sneaked out."

Jiang Yu was surprised, but after thinking about it, she also felt that Jiang Yan's coming out was a little strange, and it was too coincidental. He actually happened to get together with Du De. Both of them were scholars. It was the time to work, and they rarely left the academy except for the rest time.

"What is he trying to do?"

Jiang Yu actually wanted to know what Jiang Yan wanted to do? I always feel that something is unusual.

Jiang Feng's voice came from inside the room, "Don't let Ayu know."

So his father is here too?

"The capital is in such a mess right now, and something happened to Du De's teacher. Ayu has a good relationship with the third brother, and she will definitely be anxious to go back if she knows he went to the capital. The son-in-law has reminded me many times in the letter that I must keep Ayu stable."

Jiang Yu frowned, thought about it, and pushed the door open. The two people in the room looked at her in shock.

"Ayu?"

Mrs. Du stood up, then sat down in a panic, and soon said calmly, "When did you come back? Is it hot outside?" After that, she asked the maid to make tea again.

Jiang Yu waited for the maid to leave, and when there were only a few people left in the room, she said, "Mother, I know everything."

"What?"

Mrs. Du had a look of annoyance on her face, and then said, "I knew I couldn't hide this from you."

Jiang Feng looked at Jiang Yu thoughtfully, and when he saw Mrs. Du say this, "Wait a minute..."

But before Jiang Feng could finish, Mrs. Du seemed to have finally found a way out of the matter that was weighing on her mind, or maybe she was too flustered and didn't hear what Jiang Feng said at all, and said directly, "You can't go back, you will be arrested if you go back."

Jiang Yu frowned, "Is there no law?"

"The Prime Minister Zhao is so powerful, who can do anything to him?"
