I was divorced because I got pregnant during the lean years, so I went back to my parents’ home and

Heita and Fu Jichang were both stunned.

The third master of the Ruo family, isn’t that Ruo Xiaolian?

Wasn't he in Cuijinlou in Anzhou? Why did he come to the capital and take a concubine?

Madam Naro...

Fu Jichang asked: "Is the third wife also in the capital?"

The woman became excited when she heard this. She blinked her eyes and whispered, "Master, you may not know yet. The Third Madam was brought here by the Old Madam after she gave birth. I heard that the Ruo family is in chaos..."

Fu Jichang's heart skipped a beat: Could the familiar figure he saw at the city gate really be her?

Fu Jichang turned around and walked out.

Heita followed closely and asked in a low voice, "Sir, let's not investigate the case anymore..."

"Let's go to Ruo's house first..." Fu Jichang said and rode away.

"No, sir..." Heita didn't understand why they were going to Ruo's house when they came to Lixiangyuan to investigate the smuggling of salt and iron.

Fu Jichang rode his horse to the door of Ruo's house and saw a servant hanging red lanterns at the door.

Fu Jichang pondered for a moment: Ji Xiaobei never follows the path taken by ordinary people.

back door!

He rode his horse to the back door of Ruo's house.

No one in the Ruo family pursued a career in officialdom, but they had been entrenched in the capital for many years, owned the largest silver shop, and had complex connections with officials in the capital.

He is very wealthy and can be considered one of the richest men in Beijing.

A while ago, he was in the capital raising donations for Northern Xinjiang, and the old man of the Ruo family took out 10,000 taels of silver.

The back door was ajar. Fu Jichang got off his horse and pushed the door open to enter the backyard.

At this time, a little maid came running over hurriedly, and another one ran out from the back screen wall.

"Where is the white horse? I've been looking for it..."

Another little maidservant put her hands on her hips and panted, waved her hands and said, "Maybe she has already left. She was just passing by and asked for a bowl of water. It's okay, it's okay..."

The two little maids left.

In the side yard, Ji Xiaobei took out a brown mink coat from the cold storage, put it on Jiaojiao, and wrapped her tightly with a cotton hat and scarf, trying to help her stand up.

Jiaojiao was too weak to stand, and she was swaying and couldn't even take a step...

"Sister, go find the child and take him away. I...can't do it anymore. Otherwise, you won't be able to leave soon. If there are too many family members, you will suffer..."

Jiaojiao sat down on the bed and said weakly.

"Jiaojiao, you have to come with me. If you die, the child will be left without a mother. The little girl is still sick. Can you bear to let her go?"

Ji Xiaobei squatted down and stared into Jiaojiao's eyes calmly.

Tears welled up from Jiaojiao's sunken eye sockets.

"And your grandfather, they both need you. For their sake you must stay alive no matter how difficult it is. Only by staying alive can you have the opportunity to punish those who harmed you!"

Ji Xiaobei burst into tears.

Jiaojiao's eyes lit up again, and she said, shaking her body, "Sister, Jiaojiao will listen to you!"

She struggled to stand up.

"and many more!"

Ji Xiaobei suddenly remembered something.

She remembered that there was a four-wheeled picnic vehicle bought by Zheng Guo in the space, which might be useful.

She rummaged around and found a small four-wheeled cart that had not yet been assembled.

Ji Xiaobei was ecstatic.

This was made by a carpenter at Zheng Guo's request and placed in the warehouse for emergency use.

Ji Xiaobei moved it out and pressed the roller in place in two or three seconds.

Jiaojiao stared with eyes wide open.

Xiaobei dressed her in strange clothes and even conjured up a wooden cart out of thin air.

Ji Xiaobei spread the bedding on the bed, made it thick, and helped Jiaojiao lie down on it.

The wooden cart was not big, and Jiaojiao was petite. She could barely lie down with her legs tucked in and her body lying sideways.

Ji Xiaobei covered her up and said, "No matter what happens, don't make a sound or move. I will definitely take you out. After I settle you down, I will go find the child."

Jiaojiao nodded in conviction.

At this time, a servant was looking inside at the gate of the yard.

"Amei...Amei...I've brought you some food..." the servant shouted in a low voice.

Ji Xiaobei cursed in his heart: Damn it, why didn’t you hook up with the little maid at any other time? Why did you have to do it at this time?

Ji Xiaobei picked up the curtain rod under the window.

"Sister, don't be afraid. He doesn't dare to come in. He will just leave after shouting a few times and if no one responds!" Jiaojiao said.

Sure enough, after a while, the servant left.

Ji Xiaobei was just about to pull Jiaojiao out when a few maids walked past the yard.

It seems that it is not easy to leave Ruo Mansion!

There were some straw mats on the ground, probably covering the grass and trees for the winter. Ji Xiaobei came up with a plan.

She picked up a bundle and put it on the car.

He pulled the scarf up, leaving only his eyes exposed, and swaggered out of the yard with the cart.

"Hey...what's that for? How did it get out of the Third Madam's yard?"

Two maids passed her by.

Ji Xiaobei pulled the cart with one hand and held the dagger in his sleeve with the other.

"You must be the gardener who takes care of the flowers and trees. Aren't all the plants and trees in the mansion in good shape?" the nanny stopped and asked.

"Ahem, there's been a lot going on in the mansion lately. You two have worked so hard. It's so cold, and the grass and trees in the yard need to be covered again... Alas..." Ji Xiaobei said as he pulled the wooden cart out.

She was blind to directions, and the winding roads in the mansion, the various screen walls, and the rockery pavilions made her dizzy again.

She kept cursing the little white horse in her heart: Where did he go? He left his master behind and ran away. This is far worse than Ma Debiao.

A white shadow flashed from behind the screen wall, and the little white colt appeared kicking.

Ji Xiaobei: …

The little white horse led the way, and one man, one horse, and one wooden cart walked out.

Ji Xiaobei: It seems to be different from the way we came here

Little White Colt: Follow me, you’ll never go wrong!

Ji Xiaobei followed him out.

Suddenly a man in a cloak appeared in front of him and blocked Ji Xiaobei's way.

Ji Xiaobei took a quick glance: Damn, why is there another man here?

The big tiger-skin hat covers the ground tightly and judging by his attire, he should be the master of the Ruo family!

Ji Xiaobei lowered his head and walked out with the cart as if nothing had happened.

Who knew that the man would follow her silently.

Ji Xiaobei: ...What kind of operation is this?

But she couldn't tilt her head to look, for fear of being suspected, so she could only lower her head and continue walking...

To make matters worse, a man dressed as an old butler wearing a thick cotton coat walked towards them.

Ji Xiaobei: ...It’s really fucking true!

The old housekeeper was stunned, looked at the man and Ji Xiaobei carefully, and shouted: "What are you doing...someone come..."

Who would have thought that the old butler fell to the ground before he could finish shouting.

A guy following behind him was startled and was about to shout, but the dagger in Ji Xiaobei's hand flew out and brushed past his scalp.

The guy was about to run away with his head in his hands, but the man kicked him and he fell to the ground.

Ji Xiaobei looked towards the man, feeling both surprised and delighted.

It turned out to be Xiaoyaozi, why is he here?

He was following himself?

Without time to think too much, Ji Xiaobei stuffed the rope into Fu Jichang's hand without saying anything: "Pull the bike out, I will escort you, find a place to settle Jiaojiao down..."

Fu Jichang pulled the cart and went to the back door.

Ji Xiaobei turned around and came back.

Fu Jichang: Come on, don’t you want to leave?

Ji Xiaobei: My work is not yet finished...
