The War God Uncle's Delicate Wife
Chapter 117 Jiang Mansion Gets News
"What? How did Xinger fall off the cliff?" In the study of the Taifu Mansion, Xie Bian looked at the letter handed over by Taifu Jiang. It was a handwritten letter from his eldest grandson Xie Ci, saying that Xie Ci and his friends were being hunted down and fell off the cliff, their lives unknown. Taifu Jiang also looked very sad, as his own child was now missing.
They both seemed to not believe that all this was true, but it was the fact. Xie Bian was silent for a long time, and finally said: "Don't tell Lan'er and Li'er about this, go and call the third boy back." Lan'er and Li'er would definitely not be able to bear it if they knew, so don't tell them for the time being. Master Jiang thought about what would happen if his wife and daughter knew the news. The third child is now grown up and should take on the responsibilities he should have.
The housekeeper immediately agreed and left in a hurry. Not long after, Jiang came to the study. Jiang Bu was also shocked when he heard the news. He couldn't believe that his elder brother would fall off the cliff and his life or death was unknown. Jiang Bu had practiced martial arts since he was a child and had a high talent, but he knew that his elder brother's strength was not worse than his, so he couldn't imagine who would defeat his elder brother.
Jiang Bu frowned and thought to himself. If it wasn't because of his elder brother's poor martial arts, then there was only one possibility, that is, the enemy was too powerful.
The three people in the study were silent. They all realized the seriousness of this incident. A trip to Jiangnan turned out to be so dangerous. They began to think about how to deal with the next situation and how to find the missing Jiang Xing.
Jiang Bu said: "Father, grandfather, my eldest cousin has now contacted the local government office and asked them to assist in the search. I believe we will get news soon, but we can't just wait. I will immediately contact the shops in Huizhou City and mobilize the manpower there to search together." After saying that, he immediately began to contact the available personnel he had.
Jiang Bu then added: "I will ride to Huizhou immediately to help my cousin deal with the affairs. After all, my cousin and his family have suffered serious injuries."
Finally, Jiang Bu looked at his father and grandfather, and said that he needed to keep it secret from his mother, sister, grandmother and others so as not to cause unnecessary worries.
Master Jiang and Xie Bian looked at each other and sighed at the same time. This was the only solution now.
"Son-in-law, the two of us have to go to the palace. Regardless of whether this matter is related to the Jiangnan case or not, we must report it to His Majesty. If Xing'er and Ci'er do not return on time, we will have no explanation." Xie Bian looked in the direction of the palace, his eyes firm and steady.
Master Jiang nodded and agreed, "Yes, father-in-law is right. We must explain the situation to the emperor to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings."
Jiang Bu stood aside, feeling extremely anxious, but he also understood that their decision was correct. He gritted his teeth and was determined to find his elder brother.
Afterwards, the three of them got busy. Jiang Bu returned to his yard, packed his luggage, and quickly wrote a letter, then tied it to the leg of a carrier pigeon and released it. The letter would fly to Liwei Tower in Huizhou to inform the people there to be prepared.
Then, Jiang Bu and Yuan Bao, one on each horse, left the capital without hesitation and galloped towards Huizhou. Their figures gradually went farther and farther away, disappearing on the road in the distance.
The sun shone through the window of Xiangya Garden and onto Jiang Li. She was concentrating on sewing a man's robe, and every stitch was very careful. However, at this moment, she accidentally pricked her finger, and a drop of bright red blood instantly gushed out and dripped onto the white cloth, like a blooming red plum.
"Ouch!" Jiang Li couldn't help but screamed, and quickly pinched her bleeding finger to try to stop the blood from flowing. At the same time, an inexplicable pain surged into her heart, making her feel a little uncomfortable.
When Shi Liu heard the cry, he hurried over to check the situation: "Miss, what's wrong with you? Did you prick your hand? Sit down quickly, I'll find some medicine to help you treat the wound." After saying that, Shi Liu hurried to the medicine box in the corner of the room to look for medicine.
Jiang Li sat on the chair, staring at her pricked finger, a trace of doubt in her heart. She often did needlework on weekdays, but she rarely pricked her hand. Why was she so careless today? Just as she was thinking, Shi Liu hurried over with a bottle of golden wound medicine and carefully applied ointment to Jiang Li's wound.
"Strange..." Jiang Li murmured in a low voice, her eyes still on the injured finger. She didn't understand why she was so unlucky today. Was it really because she was too tired as Shi Liu said? Perhaps she needed to take a good rest and adjust her state.
"Miss, you may be too tired recently. You should stop what you are doing and take a rest." Shi Liu said as she reached out to put away the unfinished robe, and then gently patted Jiang Li's shoulder to show her concern. Jiang Li did not object, but nodded silently and let Shi Liu take the robe away.
"Miss, Miss." Jiang Li had just finished treating the wound on his hand when he heard Chuntao's voice outside.
"What's wrong? You're in a hurry. Is someone chasing you?" Shi Liu put the medicine into the medicine box and joked with a smile.
"What do you think pomegranate is? Who dares to chase me away?" Chuntao replied quickly.
"What's wrong?" Jiang Li saw that Chuntao was indeed panicking.
"Miss, I just met the master and the marquis leaving the mansion together in the front yard. They looked so serious. Later I met Yuanbao who was also rushing to the stable. I asked him and he stammered and didn't say anything. Besides, he led two horses to wait outside the mansion gate." Chuntao usually had a good relationship with Yuanbao in the mansion. This was the first time she saw Yuanbao ignoring her.
"What?" Jiang Li frowned. Her father and grandfather went out at the same time, with serious faces, which made her a little worried.
"Chun Tao, are you sure Grandpa is here?" Jiang Li asked. She didn't even know Grandpa was here. In the past, Grandpa would always call her over, but today, she didn't even know Grandpa was here.
"Of course! Miss, I wouldn't be wrong. And Yuanbao is also weird." Chuntao said affirmatively.
Jiang Li felt more and more uneasy. She knew that her father and grandfather were both stable people. If nothing important had happened, they would not have left the mansion in such a hurry. Yuan Bao's unusual behavior made her even more suspicious.
