Chapter 243: Take Back Wife and Daughter
What happened next made the eldest lady sigh. Fortunately, after hearing Chen Muqing's words, otherwise, not to mention that the capture of Yali this time had nothing to do with Xiao Sa, I was afraid that Xiao Sa would have to be asked about the crime of "leaving his residence without permission."
To capture Yali alive, you must first reward the court for his merits and deeds.
The first person to come forward to comfort Xiao Sa was Lord Zheng: "...It's not that I don't want to claim your merits. It's just that you are an exiled person. If the court argues that you are not under the jurisdiction of the land, but you have captured Yali in the sky, it will be too important. However, there are some things that we blind people know about eating dumplings. All the rewards from the court belong to you. We will not argue with you on this point."
Such a result was expected, but Xiao Sa didn't expect that this would be said by Master Zheng. He couldn't help but feel a little emotional and asked: "...I want to go to Jinzhou and bring Neizi and his daughter back!"
Seeing that Xiao Sa had no objection, Lord Zheng naturally agreed very readily.
So when Xiao Sa appeared in front of Shen Muqing, Chen Muqing exclaimed and threw himself into his arms: "Xiao Sa, Xiao Sa..."
Xiao Sa huddled his wife in public and said, "Mu Qing, I'm here to pick you up!"
When the big lady heard the movement, she looked at the two people who were ignoring each other and couldn't help but cough several times - fortunately, everyone lived on this street with the Zheng family, and there were no one, otherwise, wouldn't she be pointed at by someone like this?
She smiled and said, "Go into the house and sit!"
Chen Muqing blushed and pushed Xiao Sa away.
Xiao Sa smiled and let go of Chen Muqing, looking at the group of people following the eldest lady: "Where is Ji Niang?"
Mingxia hurriedly carried the child forward: "Seventh Master!"
Xiao Sa looked at the child with the skin like snow in front of him and the eyes like clear spring, and couldn't help but be stunned: "This, is this Ji Niang?"
"Who isn't she?" Chen Muqing smiled and hugged the child, pointing at Xiao Sa and said, "This is your father!"
The eight-month-old Ji Niang looked at her father, turned around and shouted at the pedestrians who occasionally passed by on the street, "Hey, hey, ah," and said.
"This kid!" Chen Muqing was helpless, "I just like lively places."
Xiao Sa touched her head helplessly: "She looks different from the Moon... She wouldn't be so beautiful!"
Chen Muqing smiled and said, "You are a girl who changes every day! Especially for children, they are the same every day."
"What do you have to say when you come into the room?" Grandma Zheng San said the child when she saw these two standing on the doorstep. She smiled and pulled Chen Muqing's sleeves, "I didn't expect that Master Qi would come at this time..."
Everyone was surprised and surrounded Xiao Sa into the house. They greeted each other and sat down accordingly. When the maids served tea, the eldest wife cared about Xiao Sa's situation: "...Is it possible to pardon?"
"It's unlikely." Xiao Sa smiled, "The master sent me a letter a few days ago and specifically told me that I could act in high-profile manner in Shanghai, but it would be better to be low-key when I left Ya'an Mansion."
Chen Muqing didn't know the letter Chen Zhen wrote to Xiao Sa, and the eldest wife, Mr. Zheng San and Grandma Zheng San were also stunned.
Master Zheng San sent the maid who served in the room: "...No one is allowed to come in!"
The maids left, and Chen Muqing also handed Ji Niang over to Mingxia and asked her to carry Ji Niang out for fun.
"The master said that King Ke, born to the Supreme Emperor, was well-educated and filial, and had chickenpox at the age of seven..." Xiao Sa lowered his voice, "Here is only one son, but he is humble and has disabled... The queen gave birth to a legitimate son the next year, but she turned out to be stillborn... Last year, Chen Fei gave birth to a son, and she died less than two hours after she landed... The emperor was very afraid of the Supreme Emperor for this matter, let alone us ministers who follow the dragon in Bahe."
Chen Muqing knew about this.
Chen Zhen thought to find a way to make the emperor's pardon when he gave birth to a legitimate prince or a prince in Jin Shang, and then take this opportunity to get Xiao Sa out of trouble... But unexpectedly, Jin Shang had extremely difficult for his offspring, and this move can be said to have failed so far.
"King Ke is only nine years old this year, right?" Chen Muqing pondered, "A nine-year-old child is in the deep palace again... I'm afraid the more outstanding he is, the more dangerous he is."
"That's true!" Xiao Sa smiled bitterly, "So Wang Qing wrote a letter two days ago, hoping that I would like to help some silver to deal with the officials in the palace. I have written to Ren Xiang, asking Ren Xiang to pay 50,000 taels of silver to Wang Qing every year in the future."
People who are mothers will see things differently.
Chen Muqing felt sour and sighed long: "It's all that..." As he said that, the corners of his eyes became wet.
If I were the Supreme Emperor, I had no choice but to watch my son in danger, and I would have no choice but to watch it, and my heart would hurt like a knife...
The atmosphere in the room couldn't help but feel a little dull.
"You have the in-laws planning for you," the eldest lady smiled and changed the topic. "I don't know how lucky I am to leave Shanghai Detention... It's better to be able to leave Shanghai Detention, but you can't leave Shanghai Detention. You can live a good life."
"Yes!" Grandma Zheng San smiled and spoke in a lively atmosphere. "You are in Shanghai, so we can come and go often. If we go back to Lincheng or go to another place, it would be so convenient for us to meet. Moreover, Ji Niang is also used to the pavilions and towers of the Zheng family..."
Xiao Sa laughed as he said something.
Seeing that the Yuanmeng people suffered a loss, Chen Muqing thought that they would attack the city again in a short time, so he proposed to return to Shanghai with Xiao Sa.
Xiao Sa was naturally happy. Grandma Zheng San said nothing to keep her and helped to pack her luggage in person. Chen Muqing carried Ji Niang to salute all the elders and relatives of the Zheng family. When the mother and daughter returned to their residence, it was already afternoon. Xiao Sa hesitated whether to spend a day: "... In this way, you have to make a big splash in the inn on the outskirts of the city - the houses there are simple, I'm afraid you and Ji Niang can't live with them. Why don't you leave early tomorrow morning?"
Chen Muqing was heartbroken: "If you leave early tomorrow morning, a few elders who are highly respected will go and resign again, let's go today. Just rest in the inn, just rest in the inn. It's all the days of spring, and there is wind and rain, and there is no chill."
After hearing what she said, Xiao Sa made up his mind to leave.
This time the eldest wife stayed: "I still have something to do. After I finish doing it, I will go to Shanghai to see you!"
The eldest wife has been in Sichuan for almost a year, and it’s time to do her own business!
Chen Muqing asked her to come to Shanghai to play in her spare time and see Ji Niang.
The eldest wife agreed happily.
When they came, there were only twelve cages, but when they left, there were more than twenty cages.
Seeing this, Master Zheng San sent more than 20 skilled escorts to escort them back to Shanghai.
At night, they did rest in a simple inn. Fortunately, there were bedding in their box and Mingxia brought the yellow oriole room to inflate it and wanted to take Ji Niang to rest. Ji Niang kept following Chen Muqing at night and couldn't help but burst into tears.
Chen Muqing coaxed Ji Niang in embarrassment.
Xiao Sa laughed and walked to Chen Muqing and touched Ji Niang's head: "Let her sleep here! I haven't seen her for a long time."
The two have not been together for a long time... They take care of their children every day, and they fall asleep when they are so tired that they fall asleep, but Xiao Sa...
"Go to sleep!" Xiao Sa smiled and kissed Shen Muqing on the cheek, "I'm tired too!" As he said that, he began to take off his shoes and socks.
Chen Muqing heard Mingxia and Huang Ying whispers in the room next door.
This house board is too thin... It's indeed not a good place!
Chen Muqing thought, and gently patted Ji Niang on the bed.
On the left is my mother and on the right is a stranger. Ji Niang is lying in the center, with her round black pupils looking left and right, as if she is curious about her situation. No matter how much Ren Chen and Muqing coax him, she will not sleep.
"I'll do it!" Xiao Sa looked at the little girl who kicked around between the two and smiled, "You go to sleep, I'll take her."
Chen Muqing didn't believe that he could take Ji Niang, but the other person's attitude was good, so he smiled and said, "Okay, look at her and I'm going to sleep."
Xiao Sa nodded, Chen Muqing pretended to sleep, squinted his eyes and looked at Xiao Sa and his daughter.
"Ji Niang, Ji Niang..." Xiao Sa called out to his daughter softly.
Ji Niang looked at her father with wide eyes, then said "Hey, hey, ah," at him.
Xiao Sa was overjoyed and at a loss, not knowing what to do: "...what do you want to say? When will you learn to speak?" As he said that, he stretched out his finger to tease Ji Niang, but was grabbed by Ji Niang's little hand and shouted at him. Xiao Sa was so happy... Chen Muqing smiled, feeling tiredness came, and he fell asleep deeply.
When I woke up again, it was already dawn, and Xiao Sa and Ji Niang were not there.
Chen Muqing sat up and shouted "Mingxia".
Mingxia walked in in a panic: "Grandma, you are awake!"
"Where is Master and Ji Niang?"
Mingxia smiled: "I took Ji Niang out for fun."
Chen Muqing breathed a sigh of relief and asked Mingxia to comb her hair and wash her face. She was sitting and applying facial cream. Xiao Sa walked in with Ji Niang.
Ji Niang blushed and looked very happy. When she saw her mother, she shouted at her "hey".
Chen Muqing took the child and saw that Xiao Sa had a fine sweat on his forehead, and couldn't help but smile and said, "Where did you go early this morning?"
Mingxia hurriedly called Huang Ying to come and serve Xiao Sa to wash and change clothes.
"I ran away in the forest behind with Ji Niang." Xiao Sa sat down and took a sip of tea, "I saw that she was happy, so I played for a while!"
Chen Muqing nodded, Ji Niang had already twisted her body and rushed towards Xiao Sa. While pounced, she also said "Hey, hey," that Xiao Sa wanted her to hug her.
"Dad is going to wash his face," Chen Muqing advised Ji Niang.
Ji Niang refused to support herself and started crying at Xiao Sa.
Xiao Sa couldn't bear it, so he reached out to hug Ji Niang: "It's just that I want me to hug her, I'll just hug her for a while."
Chen Muqing asked Xiao Sa to go and wash up quickly: "...I have to hurry up later."
Xiao Sa looked at Ji Niang who was crying and hesitated a little.
Chen Muqing had to hug Ji Niang and follow Xiao Sa. Xiao Sa changed his clothes and stood by the bed. Xiao Sa washed his face and stood by the mirror. Ji Niang stopped crying, but when Xiao Sa looked at Xiao Sa like an abandoned puppy, so that Xiao Sa hugged Ji Niang in his arms as soon as he packed it up. Ji Niang then broke into tears and laughed, kicking Xiao Sa's belly with his legs and jumped.
"Why did you clean up this little devil?" Chen Muqing smiled.
Xiao Sa gently threw Ji Niang into the air and caught it. Ji Niang smiled "giggled" in the air.
"Look at her, how brave!" Xiao Sa smiled, "He is very agile, but unfortunately he is a girl. Otherwise, if he hired a famous teacher to teach martial arts at home, he would definitely be able to develop a reputation."
"Can't girls practice?" Chen Muqing smiled and called Mingxia to pack up and prepare to set off.
