"Outrageous! What are you doing?"

Before Ji Chuan reached the backyard, he heard a woman's angry shout.

He was very familiar with that voice.

It was his wife, the merchant who deserved to die but didn't.

Yao's voice was full of energy and she didn't look threatened at all.

what happened?

Ji Chuan quickened his pace, wanting to see what was going on.

Yao put her hands on her hips and glared at the soldiers, "This is the Yao family. I am the wife of the governor of southern Xinjiang.

You trespassed into the Jiedushi Yue family's residence in the middle of the night, aren't you afraid that my master will kill you?"

Ji Chuan usually showed that he cared deeply for his wife, so how could the general dare to offend Yao? He hurriedly said, "Madam, please forgive me. The master was worried about you and asked us to come in and see you."

"I'm fine, but you guys are all pulling out your swords. I thought you were here to arrest me."

The general was speechless.

He had no choice but to turn around and ask Ji Chuan for help.

Seeing that Yao was still fine and there was no one else in the yard except his soldiers, Ji Chuan's heart sank and he glared at the general.

"Nonsense! I asked you to protect my wife, not to scare her."

Yao ran to Ji Chuan with her skirt lifted. "Master, what's going on? Why are you here?"

Ji Chuan checked her out and asked, "Bandits have broken into your residence and the whole city is being searched. I'm worried they might be hiding here. Are you all right?"

I heard my father-in-law was ill. Is he feeling better now? Take me to see him.

"We are fine, and father has gone to bed."

Yao shook her head. "There was a thief in the house. What was stolen? Do you know who it was? No wonder the steward just said there was a big commotion outside. I was so worried about Dad that I didn't pay much attention to what he said. I didn't expect it was our house that was robbed."

Thinking of something, she cried out, took Ji Chuan's arm and walked out, muttering, "Master, the dowry I gave to Yao'er must be lost, I have to go back and check.

Who on earth dared to touch my daughter's dowry? Master, if you catch them, don't let them off easily."

Ji Chuan didn't move.

There's something wrong with Yao.

She has never lacked money since she was a child. In her heart, Father Yao is more important than money. If her dowry is lost, she can just buy another one. According to her personality, she should stay with Father Yao.

"Madam, the dowry is a minor matter. My father-in-law is more important. I'd better go and see him to feel at ease."

When Yao returned to her parents' home, she brought a lot of guards with her, but now there was not a single one to be seen. Ji Chuan became even more suspicious.

Those thieves must have deliberately released Yao to get rid of them.

"No, sir."

Yao pulled his arm and said, "My father is worried about Yao'er. He hasn't been eating or sleeping well lately. He finally fell asleep now. If we go in, we will wake him up."

"Madam, I will be more gentle and not disturb him."

He winked at the general, who led the way, and Ji Chuan pulled Yao into Master Yao's room.

But when he entered the house, Ji Chuan was dumbfounded.

There was no one else in the room except Mr. Yao who was sleeping.

But there was clearly blood on the manager's neck, and Yao was clearly acting abnormally.

The general searched the entire Yao Mansion, but did not see any trace of the thieves. However, he found the guards who followed Yao back to her parents' home.

They were guarding the various gates of the Yao family diligently and conscientiously.

Ji Chuan looked at Yao suspiciously, "Why are you stopping me from seeing my father-in-law?"

Yao was bewildered, "My father is asleep."

Seeing Ji Chuan staring at her, she could only continue, "Yao'er has been detained by Su Heting for so long, and we can get her back by just giving her some food.

But you, Master, disagree and don't allow my father to redeem Yao'er. My father has some complaints against you.

If he wakes up, he'll definitely complain to the master, and I don't want any rift between you two."

"that is it?"

Ji Chuan didn't believe it.

Yao nodded and then begged, "Master, Yao'er is our only child, please redeem her.

My father said that he would pay for both money and food. Master, please agree to this. Dad was so anxious that he almost vomited blood.

"Vomiting blood?"

Yao was sad. "Yes, I vomited all over the steward. Master, Yao'er is the only blood of the Ji family, and also the only blood of the Yao family. My father can't live without Yao'er."

It turned out to be the case.

No wonder there was blood on the manager’s neck, because he didn’t clean it properly.

Ji Chuan had hoped to get promoted, get rich, and then his wife would die, but in the end, she was still alive and well. He felt very disappointed.

After hearing what Yao said, I cursed in my heart.

unlucky!

Ji Yaocai is not his only blood relative. His son is living well in the capital and will have great fortune in the future.

Seeing that the bandits were indeed not in Yao's house, Ji Chuan no longer had the heart to deal with Yao, so he said, "I still have to take people to catch the bandits, so we can discuss this matter later."

Watching Ji Chuan taking all the soldiers away, Yao's nails dug deep into her flesh.

"He clearly suspected that you and I were kidnapped by thieves, but he forcibly led his troops in, regardless of whether the thieves would kill us. This shows that he really doesn't care about our lives."

Yao Qingshan on the bed opened his eyes, "Can you be trusted now?"

He told his daughter that Ji Chuan had an illegitimate child, but his daughter believed Ji Chuan without a doubt.

I had to take advantage of the thief incident tonight to stage this scene so that my daughter could see clearly who was sleeping next to her.

Before this, Yao never believed that Ji Chuan would not care about his life or death.

But she saw it with her own eyes and couldn't help but believe it.

Ji Chuan kept saying there were thieves, but when he left, he didn't leave anyone behind to protect the Yao family.

She even saw disappointment on his face, disappointed that she was still alive.

No wonder he made all kinds of excuses when asked to save Yao'er, it turned out that he had another child.

This was a huge blow to the Yao family.

She threw herself on the edge of Yao Qingshan's bed, "Father, he is so cruel and heartless. What should my daughter do? What should Yao'er do?"

Yao Qingshan patted his daughter's back and said, "Don't be afraid, Dad will find a way. The King of Xinjiang North wants food, and Dad will give it to him.

Ji Chuan is unreliable and has made Yao'er suffer for so long, which shows that he only has his illegitimate son in his heart. Maybe in the end he will let Yao'er become a stepping stone for that illegitimate son.

Daddy has to find a way to get the King of Jiangbei to marry Yao'er, so you and your daughter will have a new supporter."

"But the King of Jiangbei has already married and asked Yao'er to be his concubine. How can he be a match for her?

He also imprisoned Yao'er, which shows that he is not a man who knows how to be gentle with women. If he treats Yao'er badly in the future, wouldn't that be unfair to us, Yao'er?"

Yao Qingshan narrowed his eyes and said, "Yao'er won't be someone's concubine. I heard that his wife is not in good health and has been recuperating in the palace for these years. Let her recover from her illness.

As for whether Su Heting will be nice to Yaoer, it depends on Yaoer's ability and the money she has.

You are my father's only daughter, and in the future these things will belong to you and Yao'er. Su Heting was born a bandit, and he needs financial support the most.

I heard that he has already released Yao'er and even taken her out, even ignoring his new wife. It seems that he also cares about our Yao family's money."

"But the Jiangbei Palace is guarded like an iron barrel. We can't even find out about Yao'er, so how can we kill Qiao Xi?"

Yao's brows were filled with anger. "Why would a sickly girl like her leave the palace for no reason? If she hadn't interfered, it would have been our Yao'er who married Su Heting. Why would there be so much trouble? It would have been better if she had died of her illness on her own."

"Alright, father will find a way to deal with these things. You just need to calm yourself down and don't let Ji Chuan see the clues. He has deceived our Yao family for many years. As a father, I want him to pay the price..."

The father and daughter were whispering to each other, but they didn't know that Qiao Xi and Su Heting were on their roof and heard everything clearly.
