To support exiled officials, start by worshipping the God of Wealth

the next day.

The prefect invited Chen Zhao to visit Lingcheng, but the round trip was too far, so Bai Luoxue declined, saying, "My husband, I'm not feeling well. You can take mother with you. If I'm bored, I'll just go for a stroll in town."

Chen Zhao was worried, but had no choice.

Although he was a general, he could not be unkind. He held her hand and said, "Luoxue, I will be back as soon as possible. I will leave all the guards with you. If anyone bullies you, don't worry. As long as they don't kill them, I will support you. Fangfei, protect your master. If Luoxue gets hurt, I will never forgive you!"

"Yes." Fang Fei quickly knelt on the ground and kowtowed to promise, "I will take good care of you, young lady."

Chen Zhao felt uneasy, and he said, "Chen Nan, you stay."

After the carriage drove away, Bai Luoxue could no longer sit still. She put on her flowing cloud-colored purple feather gauze skirt and the man's favorite bamboo leaf hairpin, and went out happily. Meeting Chen Nan's curious eyes, she said, "I'm almost bored to death these days. Fangfei and I will go for a walk in the town."

Chen Nan followed, "I will go with you."

"No." Bai Luoxue realized that she was too excited and abnormal. Fortunately, Fang Fei reacted quickly, "Chen Xianfeng, why are you going to go shopping for clothes with two girls? Just drop us off at the entrance of the town and wait for us."

Chen Nan coughed lightly, thinking that it was true. It would be inconvenient for a grown man like him to follow.

Driving the carriage to the entrance of the town, he instructed: "The roads are slippery due to the rain, and it is getting dark soon. You must pay attention to safety. If there is anything urgent, send someone to find me. If I don't see your people within an hour, I will have to send someone to look for them."

The Jiang family's house is easy to find by asking passers-by.

There were only a few huts behind the low courtyard wall. The boy put the firewood under the shed, and his back was covered with dust. Bai Luoxue stood at the door and shook his head repeatedly, "No... How could this be him? It must be fake."

He shouldn't be so miserable.

He should be sitting at the desk in the study, exuding an air of arrogance.

The woman staggered a few times, held onto the dilapidated wooden door, covered her face and cried, squatting on the ground, the picturesque past flashing through her mind.

"Miss..." Fang Fei supported her tightly. Not to mention being a young lady, as a maid, she felt sad when she saw Young Master Jiang in such a miserable state. "I will help you over."

It’s only ten meters, but it feels like half a lifetime.

Bai Luoxue's shoulders trembled, tears fell, and she could no longer suppress her sadness. She shouted, "Jiang Jing!" She strode to the man and grabbed his wrist, "Come with me, how can you be here? You should enjoy wealth and glory!"

Jiang Jing frowned and shook off her hand.

He glanced at him indifferently, and at this moment, he recognized the person.

"Exiled here, living a lonely life, how can I expect to have wealth and glory?"

"Are you blaming me for not asking my father to plead for Uncle Jiang?" Bai Luoxue felt depressed. "I knelt outside for a whole day, but my father said that the emperor was furious and that it was best not to plead. For this reason, I went on a hunger strike for several days and almost broke off relations with my father."

Fang Fei echoed, "My young lady pleaded for you and fell seriously ill. She wanted to come to see you, but the general stopped her and never told her whereabouts. She came here these few days and heard about you, so she rushed here immediately."

Jiang Jing spoke word by word: "I don't blame anyone. What's more, General Bai did the right thing. If I plead for mercy, I'm afraid the emperor will punish the Jiang family more severely."

After not seeing each other for a long time, Bai Luoxue couldn't hide her complicated feelings.

She tightly grasped her handkerchief and watched Jiang Jing work. Every time she lent a hand to help, she would think of her pregnancy. Behind her, she heard footsteps. She quickly wiped away her tears and turned back to greet him, "Aunt, Nian Yin, long time no see."

She bowed slightly, just like she did when she went to Jiang Mansion to play in the past.

Jiang Nianyin's eyes lit up and she asked in surprise, "Luoxue? Why are you here?"

She knew many ladies from prominent families in Shengjing, but Luoxue always went to the Jiang family to play and was always very nice to her. There were only two or three of them who could be called her close friends, and Luoxue was one of them.

"I... I heard about you, so I came to see you and uncle." Bai Luoxue's eyes were red. She took out a precious box and put it in Jiang's mother's hand. "These are some valuable things. Don't despise them, aunt."

Mother Jiang shook her head back and said with emotion.

"Good boy, I am very happy that you came to see us. We cannot have these things. Please take them back."

Her eyes fell on Bai Luoxue's bun, and she was slightly stunned. Yes, Luoxue was already at the age of marriage, and it was not uncommon for her to get married.

"Is this a marriage?"

Bai Luoxue smiled awkwardly, holding the handkerchief tightly in her hands, and subconsciously looked at Jiang Jing, but there was no emotion on his face. As the tension in her heart dissipated, a sense of loss also surged in her heart. He didn't care, did he?

She said perfunctorily: "My father said that I can only know the news about you after I get married."

"The young lady has suffered a lot to find Mr. Jiang." Fang Fei looked at the young lady with pity. She came to Su Ming County with her brother-in-law, but met her lover. The young lady thought that she would never see Mr. Jiang again in her life, so she accepted her fate.

The few of them were silent. They all knew what Luoxue was thinking.

The sound of rain broke the silence.

Jiang's mother hurriedly said, "Miss Bai, go to the room quickly. Nian'er, go and serve some good tea. Your uncle is sick and is resting in the room. You are not allowed to see him. Don't let him infect you."

When Bai Luoxue heard the cough, she slowly walked to the window.

"Luoxue greets uncle. I heard that you are ill. I will ask a famous doctor in Beijing to treat you in a few days."

"Thank you, Miss Bai. No thanks." Father Jiang said weakly, "How is the old general?"

Bai Luoxue choked up and said, "Father is fine. He has always been thinking about you. Luoxue feels guilty for not being able to help. If I had found you earlier, you would have lived a better life."

After a long while, Jiang's father smiled weakly and said, "Thank you for your concern, old general. Thunder, lightning, rain and dew are all grace from the emperor. You are a girl and naturally have no say. I heard that Miss Bai got married. Live a good life in the future and don't worry about us."

Jiang's mother asked, "It's cold outside, please come in, Miss Bai."

Looking around, I found that the biggest advantage of this house was that it was not windy or rainproof. The threshold was low, the ground was uneven, and dampness was evident everywhere.

Bai Luoxue felt bitter in her heart. Looking at the mistress, young lady, and young master who had once enjoyed unlimited glory, she suggested, "Aunt, I will buy you a yard. Living here will not be good for uncle's illness."

"We are fugitives. If the emperor knew that we were enjoying ourselves, not only would the Bai family be implicated, but the Jiang family would be in danger." Jiang Jing narrowed his eyes and refused bluntly.

Bai Luoxue was flustered, this was not what she meant.

"Aunt, can I talk to him alone for a while?"

The mother and daughter looked at each other and tacitly agreed to leave. They had to give her a chance to say goodbye, otherwise it would become a mental illness if she kept it in her heart.
