After Madam Jiang returned to her room, she cried for a while.

After half an hour, Cao Zirou was led to the room by her maid.

"Aunt, are you looking for me?" Cao Zirou was trembling.

There was still a lingering warmth of fear on his face, and his complexion was still not good-looking.

Looking at Madam Jiang, she only felt that overnight, she seemed to have changed from a full and noble woman to a down-to-earth ordinary person.

The Jiang family, which used to shine in Cao Zirou's eyes in the past, has also become like mud on the ground.

If you step on it, you will feel dirty shoes.

"Zi Rou, you're here." Madam Jiang's crying voice was hoarse.

She confessed, "I can't count on others in the mansion now. I can't control where Xiao Ran is now. I just want to save the life of the old man."

"Zi Rou, if you are a stranger, you should listen to my advice and leave the back door hidden in the rockery to find a doctor to prescribe medicine. Father is very old, and his illness can't be delayed any longer."

Cao Zirou's heart skipped a beat.

She had a soft expression on her face, as if there were no gods.

He said, "But Auntie, there are guards inside and outside this mansion. If they catch me, I'll have a hard time..."

Cao Zirou paused, then said, "Does my aunt still have some precious jewelry? Why don't you give me a few, I'll hide it on my body, and if I encounter the Guards' block, I'll have to try to console them with money, and I'll ask them to forgive me. ."

After Mrs. Jiang heard this, she quickly took out the makeup case.

Put those gold, silver, jade, rings, necklaces and other items that she likes on weekdays into her hands.

"Take it, go ahead and buy some more ginseng in case you need it."

Cao Zirou clenched her gold and silver tightly and nodded her head.

Seeing her leaving, Mrs. Jiang supported the table and pressed her eyebrows.

Her headache was terrible.

Mrs. Jiang saw out of the corner of the mirror that she had a haggard face in the mirror.

She recalled the first half of her life, only in a trance.

Why did things get to this point?

Thinking that she came from an aristocratic family, she and Lord Jiang were in love with each other back then, and they were the right match.

She has been married to the Jiang family for more than 20 years, and her life has been smooth sailing. She has what she wants.

Mr. Jiang kept himself clean and never took a concubine. He respected her and cared for her in everything.

After having a son, her life has become more comfortable.

But why is it like this now?

In the afternoon, Madam Jiang fell asleep on the table.

The footsteps of the Guards came from the door. Their voices were unceremonious, and they asked rudely, "Mrs. Jiang is here!"

She woke up suddenly.

As if hearing the voice of urging, with a panicked expression on his face, he got up and pushed open the door.

However, he saw that Lord Xie was standing beside him, and the guards beside him were holding Cao Zirou, who was described as messy.

Madam Jiang felt a chill in her heart.

Finally got caught...

She spoke, her voice dry: "Master Xie, this matter has nothing to do with Zi Rou, I let her go."

Dali Temple Minister Xie Chun looked at her, a little confused.

"She is going to leave the capital by boat. Madam Jiang also ordered this matter?"

Madam Jiang was taken aback and looked at Cao Zirou: "What?"

The Guards explained in a cold voice: "We saw her sneaking out of the Jiang Mansion, thinking she was going to meet the deserter Jiang Gongzi, so we followed her all the time."

"But I saw this lady and went straight to the ferry, planning to leave Beijing by boat!"

Madam Jiang looked at Cao Zirou in disbelief.

"Didn't I ask you to buy medicine? How could you want to run away?!"

When Cao Zirou saw that the matter was exposed, she didn't plan to pretend any more.

She raised her head and stared fiercely at Madam Jiang.

"If you don't run, are you waiting to be dragged down to death by you! Jiang Xiaoran has accomplished nothing, I could have ignored him, but he is going to drag the Jiang family down, he is a waste!"
