Marry a powerful minister and remain a widow?I’m done with the book-wearing female role!

At night, the north wind is raging, and occasionally there is the roar of the wind, mixed with the crisp sound of branches being blown and broken.

Xie Zhao rushed back from the camp outside the city. As soon as he entered, Jiang Yuzhu seemed to feel something. He got up from the bed and walked around to the outside, asking: "Yuanhe, have you had your dinner?"

In the camp in the north of the city, the generals were hungry and full, but they were not as good as the soldiers.

Jiang Yuzhu saw Xie Zhao pause and asked the red carp next door to go to the tea room to get a bowl of wontons.

The meat wontons with thin skin and large fillings have been wrapped, placed in a jar with a lid, and buried in the snow.

It is very convenient to take it out and cook it when you want to eat it.

In addition, Jiang Yuzhu added sea vegetables and shrimps to the soup base to make it fresh, and it was served with two plates of appetizers.

Xie Zhao walked towards the stove outside to drive away the cold air on his body. A smile flashed in his eyes and he said, "Ma'am, please be careful."

He turned back this time just to stay with Jiang Yuzhu for a while, and he had to rush back to the camp at dawn.

No matter how fierce the war outside the city was, whenever he saw her, Xie Zhao would always feel a sense of peace and tranquility in his heart.

It seems that the person who knows him best is the new emperor Xiao She.

Jiang Yuzhu put her palm against Xie Zhao's stomach. It was flat and she didn't know how long she had been hungry.

He used to be on duty at the Yamen, and he often left behind meals after being busy with official duties, and he already suffered from stomachaches.

You Qi Liang'an was injured and stayed at home to recuperate, and there were even fewer people around to urge him.

"Let the red carp go to the camp to take care of it tomorrow."

Among the maids, Hong Li is better at chanting sutras, and she is confident with Jiang Yuzhu's favor.

Xie Zhao was relieved in his heart, but he said helplessly on his face: "Everything depends on Madam's arrangement."

Lighting the oil lamp in the room, the maid served a pot of hot tea and consciously exited the door.

Jiang Yuzhu put her chin in one hand and played with the tea cup boredly: "Yuanhe, is there no news about your second brother yet?"

Ever since Manzi made trouble and the actor was burned to death, Jiang Yuzhu has determined that Jiang Huaiqing is not in Manzi's hands.

Although it is certain, it also proves that Manzi is increasing his search efforts and Jiang Huaiqing is in a bad situation.

Xie Zhao hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Actually, it's not like there's no news at all."

Xie Zhao's people were hiding in the city lord's mansion and found a man who looked very much like Jiang Huaiqing.

This man pretended to be deaf and mute, and was taken to the house by the city lord's sister as a male favorite. He had no interaction with anyone.

"My husband sent someone to approach him, but he didn't trust anyone and didn't give any feedback."

For the sake of caution, the news was not spread outside, and even Princess Yutan did not know about it.

Xie Zhao plans to take time to go to Surabaya City in the next two days to meet the man. If it is Jiang Huaiqing, he will bring him back.

"What, a male favorite?"

The teacup in Jiang Yuzhu's hand shook, and hot tea splashed onto the back of her hand, which immediately turned red.

Jiang Yuzhu was completely unaware of the pain, and her mind fell into an endless loop. Only the word "male favorite" flashed repeatedly.

Xie Zhao stared at the blush, as if he was stung, and almost flew out the door.

When Jiang Yuzhu reacted, she realized that her entire palm was covered with snow, and she suddenly shivered.

"do not move."

Xie Zhao held Jiang Yuzhu's hand, his face tensed, and he said carefully, "The tea soup is too hot, you need to cool it down, otherwise you will easily get blisters."

Seeing the distress deep in his eyes, Jiang Yuzhu couldn't help but ask: "Then why don't you blame me for being careless?"

Xie Zhao's eyes darkened and his voice was very soft: "How can I blame you? My husband should be more careful and shouldn't say this when you are serving tea."

Therefore, if you blame him, he should have thought more about it.

Jiang Yuzhu wanted to say it was a minor injury, but she moved her lips and finally swallowed the words.

Perhaps in Xie Zhao's eyes, she is fragile porcelain that needs to be carefully cared for.

Her mind was in a mess. Although one hand was soaked in the snow, Jiang Yuzhu felt inexplicably hot. When she saw Xie Zhao's Adam's apple, she looked away uncomfortably, her thoughts confused.

If the second brother is really caught and used as a man's favorite, can it be worse?

"Although I was not in the camp in the north of the city, the news spread when the barbarians made trouble."

Jiang Yuzhu deeply regretted that she shouldn't have mentioned Honghong, but there was nothing she could do about it on that occasion.

What's even more annoying is that now is not the time to clarify.

"When I went out to buy red carp, I heard the people talk about me, saying that my second brother was a dandy of the Jiang family, and that his concubine room was full of concubines in the backyard. There were a lot of red and green bastards and concubines, and he was not worthy of Princess Yutan at all. "

Princess Yutan protected her family and country and had a high status in the hearts of the people. Jiang Huaiqing was naturally stepped on.

If Feng Ping is harmed, he still cannot be cleansed.

"I'm sorry, second brother!"

If she had known earlier, she should have opposed Jiang Huaiqing's coming to the Northland in the first place. It was because she was not firm and decided to support her second brother's dream after much struggle.

"Yuanhe, please take me to Surabaya City. I want to sneak into the city lord's mansion to find my second brother."

It was a risky move, but after Jiang Yuzhu weighed it, she still wanted to try it.

How could she enjoy it with peace of mind when her loved ones who loved her most were suffering?

Originally, Jiang Yuzhu thought that she would have to spend a lot of effort to convince Xie Zhao, but unexpectedly, Xie Zhao agreed easily.

"You had a plan for a long time, why did you agree so happily?"

Jiang Yuzhu thought that she would not be a drag on Xie Zhao, but she also had to admit that she would be a drag on Xie Zhao. At least in terms of physical strength, she was far inferior to him.

"You want to go."

Go wherever you want, Xie Zhao believes that he has the ability to protect Jiang Yuzhu.

His wife was not around, so he was still distracted.

Xie Zhao thought a lot along the way from the capital to the north.

He couldn't always be self-righteous, but had to consider the problem from her perspective.

Jiang Fulu and Chen did not support many things, but they could not reject Jiang Yuzhu's ideas.

The same goes for Xie Zhao. What he can do is give him the strongest support.

Besides pampering her, what else can you do?

Pamper God, he will take care of it himself.

"Madam, you killed people and set fires, and it was your husband's responsibility to dig a hole and bury them on the spot."

Xie Zhao chuckled softly, and the look he gave him was thought-provoking.

"Although this metaphor is not appropriate, does Mr. Xie want to join in the same deeds with me?"

Seeing Xie Zhao nod slightly, the smile in Jiang Yuzhu's eyes became even brighter.

There is not only trust but also respect between a husband and wife.

The atmosphere began to relax, and Xie Zhao talked about his plan to leave the border town again.

"There is a teahouse in Surabaya City, and there are my men inside. You and I will go to the teahouse first and look for an opportunity to follow the troupe and sneak into the city lord's mansion."

It would be better if the male favorite is Jiang Huaiqing. If not, the two of them will stay for a few more days to investigate.

While talking, wontons were served.

The people in the north have a big appetite, and the big bowl is equivalent to the small basin in the capital.

There are seaweed and green scallions floating in the soup, with a few drops of sesame oil, and the fragrance is fragrant.

Xie Zhao took out a small white porcelain bowl and scooped wontons and hot soup for Jiang Yuzhu.

There was no sound in the room. The couple sat side by side and concentrated on eating, but they didn't look awkward.

After taking a sip of the hot soup, Jiang Yuzhu let out a sigh of satisfaction. Suddenly, she thought of her parents in the capital and told her, "Yuanhe, you must hide what happened to your second brother."

Jiang Huaiqing seems to have no status, and his mother, Mrs. Chen, often says that he was picked up. If there is really something wrong with him, his parents will definitely come over and fight to the death!
