While Jiang Rongsheng was being tortured, the Jiang family.

It was already late at night, and it was supposed to be time for the yamen to go off duty, but the old lady didn't see Jiang Rongsheng come back for a long time.

She couldn't help but feel worried.

Nowadays, the world is uneasy, and the court has implemented a curfew. Except for some drinking and sex places, all places are closed at night, and people are not allowed to walk freely on the streets.

Although the old lady was the wife of the Jiang family, it was not easy to send people out to search for her at this time, so she had to wait at home.

However, after waiting all night and not hearing from the concierge that Jiang Rongsheng was back, he realized something was wrong.

"You didn't come back all night?"

"Yes, I didn't come back all night."

The little maid who came to reply told the truth.

The old lady frowned, "Have you sent someone to look for it over at Flower Street?"

Flower Street, as the name suggests, is a long street filled with brothels, Chu guan and other places. It is also the only place in Jizhou City that does not implement a curfew.

The maid nodded, "According to your instructions, I sent people to search early in the morning, but the people over there said they had never seen the eldest master. Just in case, I also sent people to search in the Yamen, but the Yamen People inside said that the eldest gentleman came back after his shift last night and was not at the Yamen at all."

The old lady's expression changed.

"What did you say? He came back last night?! But there is no one of him in the house."

"Yes." The maid was also a little anxious and didn't know what to do. "Master, Master, has something happened?"

The old lady's thoughts changed rapidly.

Not too possible.

This is Jizhou City, and Jiang Rongsheng is the magistrate of Jizhou. It can be said that he is the biggest here besides the governor. The governor is stationed far outside the city. He and he are on equal footing. They usually have a good relationship, and there is no need to target him. .

It is impossible for anything to happen to Jiang Rongsheng here.

Thinking like this, the old lady's heart calmed down.

"Where's the eldest lady? The eldest master didn't come back all night, so she didn't say anything?"

The maid shook her head.

"The eldest lady is not here either."

"what?"

The maid said: "After the eldest lady and the eldest master had a fight yesterday, she took the maids and the nuns back to her parents' house. Because it was too late at that time, the slaves were afraid of disturbing your rest, so they didn't tell you that Aunt Zou was also here. He stayed in his room and didn’t come out all night.”

The old lady frowned.

After thinking for a while, he said: "Send someone to the Qin family to inform the eldest lady about this and ask her to come back quickly. In addition, send more people out to look for her. The eldest master will come back from duty in a carriage, accompanied by the chief and the driver. Yes, if you can’t find the great master, you can find them.”

"Yes."

Seeing the maid leave, the old lady rubbed her forehead tiredly.

It’s really a wave of ups and downs, what’s the matter?

Qin family.

Mrs. Qin heard that Jiang Rongsheng had not returned all night, but she was not in a hurry.

The reason why she returned to her parents' home overnight was to give the Jiang family a show of strength and let them know that she was not a soft persimmon and could be manipulated by them.

I thought that during her absence, Zou Wanniang would seize the opportunity to charm Jiang Rongsheng, but unexpectedly, on the first day, she stayed up all night. Zou Wanniang, who usually looked so powerful, could not even stay for a day. Seeing this, Mrs. Qin couldn't help but feel sarcastic and proud again.

"If you don't go back, you don't go back. A man stays out at night, sleeping in flowers and willows or sleeping in the yamen. What's the big deal? It's worth running over to ask me in a hurry."

Seeing that she hadn't realized the seriousness of the matter, the maid quickly said: "No, the slaves from Huajie and Yamen have sent people to look for him, but the master is not there, so the old lady sent me to ask the eldest lady if she has seen the master. No."

Qin was taken aback.

It's a little surprising.

"I haven't seen it." After a pause, she said suspiciously: "Are you sure you have all looked for it? Jizhou City is so big, and it's so late at night, where else can he go besides these places?"

The maid was so anxious that she almost cried.

"It's just that I don't know why the old lady is anxious."

Qin: "..."

She lowered her eyes slightly, feeling a little touched in her heart, but thinking of Jiang Rongsheng's attitude towards her, she hardened her heart again.

"Since you haven't found it, just keep looking. What's the use of looking for me? Can I still help you find it?"

Maid: "..."

She looked at Mrs. Qin, feeling a little confused and a little angry.

She is the maid next to the old lady. Even Mrs. Qin has to treat her a little bit thinly when she sees her.

So when she got angry, her tone was not very good.

"It's not that I want to bother the eldest lady to help us find it, but after all, the eldest lady is the eldest man's wife. The eldest man has disappeared. Reasonably, we should inform you. If you see the eldest man, you know that the old lady is like this Anxious, I will naturally advise the eldest master to return home. If you don't see me, if something happens in the future, we will have an explanation for you, so as not to talk about it later and something happened to the eldest master and you, the wife, will be disappointed. Be the last to know.”

Mrs. Qin choked.

She was so shocked that she was speechless.

The sister-in-law Lin next to her was also dumbfounded. She couldn't believe that this was what a maid could say to her master.

After the maid finished speaking, she blessed her again.

"Since the eldest lady has told you the answer, Bihe will not stay any longer. Bihe will go to find the eldest master elsewhere, so he will leave now."

After saying that, he left directly.

Mrs. Lin was so angry that she stood up and pointed at her and scolded her, "You little bitch who doesn't understand the rules, what kind of master taught you this bitch..."

But Qin grabbed him and sat down.

"Sister-in-law, stop talking."

"You are a noble lady, and you just let her abuse you like this?"

Lin was angry and refused to fight.

Mrs. Qin shook her head, sighed again, and said helplessly: "What a waste, she is the person next to the old lady, she represents the old lady's face, and she speaks very straightforwardly. I go in with one ear and out with the other. Just pretend you didn’t hear anything.”

Mrs. Lin finally calmed down a little bit of her anger.

"Then you plan to live in your parents' house like this? If your husband-in-law disappears, why don't you go find him?"

Qin sneered.

"This is Jizhou, what can happen to him? He is just hiding his lover somewhere, and he is just happy to miss Shu. I came out this time just to make a bet with them. Whoever bows his head first will lose. If I now What's the point of going back? If something happens next time, then my lady's face will really be lost."

Mrs. Lin is both a woman, so she naturally understands this truth.

The anger subsided a bit.

Mrs. Qin looked at her and asked, "Sister-in-law, do you dislike me? Are you afraid that if I stay at home for too long, I will get in the way of you and my brother?"

Mrs. Lin spat at her.

"Nonsense! You still don't know how I feel about you? When have I ever seen you outside these years?"

Qin also laughed.

"I knew my sister-in-law was good to me."

Mr. Lin nodded, then thought of something again, and lowered his voice mysteriously.

"Speaking of which, do you still have the iron guide you sold me last time? An old friend of mine has to do something recently and needs this thing. If you have it, I will ask him to pay a high price and I will make a profit. How about I only take [-]% and give you the rest?"
