In the evening, Jiang Mansion was surrounded by the Imperial Guard.

Everyone held a torch, and the flames soared, as if they were going to burn a hole in the dark sky.

It fell in the eyes of the Jiang family, reflecting their dazzling fear.

Mr. Jiang took his son and daughter-in-law, as well as the Jiang family.

He looked at the commander of the Praetorian Guards sitting on a tall horse.

"Dare to ask the commander, what crime did the Jiang family commit to besiege the mansion?"

The commander of the Guards cupped his hands, but his tone was sharp.

"This morning, Young Master Jiang of Guifu escaped from the army. I am waiting for the emperor's order to thoroughly investigate the Jiangfu."

As soon as these words came out, Madam Jiang couldn't stand up and almost fell.

Lord Jiang held her up.

"Master Commander, is there any misunderstanding? Although our child is usually a jerk, he should know the importance of national affairs and will not be a deserter!" Master Jiang pleaded.

The praetorian commander just looked at him coldly.

"This matter cannot be concluded until a thorough investigation is done. Before that, no one is allowed to leave the Jiangfu! Otherwise, kill them!"

After he finished speaking, the guards behind him held long spears and forced the Jiang family back into the mansion.

They closed the door and put a seal on the outside.

Seeing this, Mrs. Jiang immediately fell on her husband's shoulder and cried.

She couldn't be in a hurry: "Xiao Ran doesn't know where he is now. Did he run back to find the girl from the Xie family? If he is really caught by the Guards, what will happen to him?"

Master Jiang said solemnly: "The light is jail and whipping, and the worst is exile for the whole family."

Deserting soldiers, but a big crime for the whole family!

Especially a family like Jiangfu, which was originally established by military exploits.

Hearing Mr. Jiang's words, Mrs. Jiang cried and patted her knees: "What kind of sin have we done, why did this happen!"

Mr. Jiang is still very calm to this day.

It just looks a little bad.

He put his hands behind him and said, "We all know Xiao Ran's disposition. If we come back to find Miss Xie on impulse, we can only accept it! For today's plan, we can't be fooled."

"Currently, the charges have not been determined. According to the procedure, the emperor will send officials to strictly investigate and interrogate. Remember, don't talk nonsense until Xiao Ran is found!"

Several people nodded.

Cao Zirou, who had been standing beside her, turned pale with fright.

Is the Jiangfu coming to an end?

Jiang Xiaoran dared to be a deserter!

She thought she had found a big tree to rely on.

Unexpectedly, he was implicated first and became a culprit!

Mr. Jiang was afraid that Mr. Jiang couldn't bear it, so he first helped him back to the room.

Madam Jiang looked back and saw Cao Zirou standing there.

She remembered how thoughtful Cao Zirou was in these days.

He waved his hand and called her over.

"Zi Rou," Mrs. Jiang lowered her voice, "Now that the Jiang Mansion is in great distress, my aunt has no one else to trust, and can only count on you."

"There is a small rockery gate in the backyard that leads to the outside. The Guards don't know. I will send you out. You can find a way to go to Xie's house and let Xie Yinxiang know."

"If Xiao Ran is really with her, tell him to hide it and don't show his face."

Cao Zirou had fear hidden in her eyes, she looked at Madam Jiang: "Aunt told me to go?"

Mrs. Jiang nodded: "No one is more suitable except you. I'm afraid the maid is unreliable."

She really is helpless.

However, such a decision, to Cao Zirou's ears, was a talisman!

Madam Jiang just regarded her as an irrelevant person and wanted her to die!

What if she was discovered by the Praetorian Guards?

But the commander just said, kill it!
