Chapter 538 Lord Jiang, I was sent by your daughter to pick you up
The villager saw that the silver was of very good quality, and that although the two men were dressed in shabby clothes, the patterns of the materials looked good, so he quickly called on his family to help carry Emperor Qingning into the house.
Zheng Qin sat slumped on the doorstep, gasping for breath, feeling pain all over his body. But he knew it was not time to rest yet.
He had to wait for the village doctor to come and confirm Emperor Qingning's injuries and bandage his own cut buttocks.
In the dead of night, Zheng Qin stayed by Emperor Qingning's bedside, and only breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the emperor's weak breathing become stronger.
He smiled wryly and shook his head.
The merit of following the dragon is really not easy to earn.
He didn't know whether Jiang Wanyue and the Queen Mother had left the mountain courtyard and headed for Zhuwan. Now he could only rely on Jiang Wanyue to save them.
He hoped that Jiang Wanyue would notice something was wrong after not receiving his letter for such a long time and would send his men to find him.
*
The capital city, the Baihu Street branch of Shanyitang.
Jiang Lili and Jiang Wanyue's father Jiang Zhoulin used a broom stick as a crutch and limped out of Shanyitang.
From a single luxury ward to an ordinary ward, and now to being unable to pay the medical bills, Jiang Zhoulin has experienced many ups and downs. He did not expect that he would become so seriously ill due to his anger.
He stayed in Shanyitang for nearly two months, and most of his savings were spent. He also became ill and had difficulty walking. With no one to look after him, he suffered terribly in bed.
Recently, Jiang Wanyue and Lu Fangqin had not come to visit him, nor had they brought him any supplements or money, so he was vaguely worried.
Now the doctor of Shanyitang has discharged him from the hospital, and he stands at the entrance of Shanyitang and watches. There is a hustle and bustle of traffic on Baihu Street, with vendors and merchants doing business in full swing. He feels as if he is in another world, and still cannot believe that the dynasty has changed here, and his eldest daughter Jiang Lili has become the master of the world.
He wanted to find Jiang Lili. Her daughter was now the ruler of a country, and her son-in-law was the god of war who had annexed an entire land west of the Xilin Snowfield!
But when Jiang Zhoulin looked around, he was at a loss. For a moment, he didn't know through whom he could see Jiang Lili.
He grabbed the driver at the door of Shanyitang and said in a commanding tone: "My daughter is Jiang Lili, take me to see her quickly!"
The driver took one look at the haggard old man in front of him with messy hair and beard, pulled his hand away with disgust and spat at him.
"What nonsense are you talking about? I'm still your father."
"How could you do this to me?"
Jiang Zhoulin didn't expect that he would be given the cold shoulder by a civilian driver. He pointed at his nose and cursed: "Jiang Lili and I are of the same blood. Do you believe that I can let her put you in jail?"
"You lost your job, and your whole family can't afford to eat!"
"Oh my, so arrogant." The driver laughed angrily, "Who would believe you if you said that?"
"You keep trying to mess with my whole family."
"Believe it or not, I will report you to the Baihu Street Police Station. Evil forces like you must be wiped out!"
Police station? What is it?
Jiang Zhoulin was confused.
The vendors nearby also mocked, "Miss Jiang is honest, selfless and reasonable, how could she have a father like you?"
The driver rolled up his sleeves and said, "If you were Miss Jiang's father, you deserved to die. She was wrongly exiled, and you didn't care about it, but you actually sent people to kill her and persecute the Xin family."
"Even a tiger won't eat its own cubs."
The driver's movements attracted more and more people to look over.
Passersby were holding baskets filled with vegetables and eggs.
"What? This guy said he is Jiang Lili's father?"
"Is he Jiang Zhoulin, the Minister of Personnel of the previous dynasty?"
"Wearing such tattered clothes, could it be Jiang Zhoulin?"
"Didn't Jiang Zhoulin go to Shanyitang because of the fire in Jiang Mansion? That's very likely!"
……
Seeing passers-by looking at him with unfriendly eyes, Jiang Zhoulin immediately panicked: "I was drunk, I just said that!"
He hurriedly avoided the crowd and escaped from Shanyitang before more people came.
I didn't expect that people like Jiang Lili are so popular among the people, and their appeal is even stronger than that of Emperor Qingning.
After passing through several alleys, we arrived at another deserted street.
Jiang Zhoulin was panting and sat down against the wall.
He had rested for a while when suddenly someone threw two coins in front of him.
A "bang" sound was heard, and Jiang Zhoulin felt that it was no different from slapping him twice!
He was actually mistaken for a beggar!
Jiang Zhoulin's face turned red, he picked up two copper coins and threw them at the person who threw them: "Who wants your filthy money!"
The person who was hit dodged and looked at him in disbelief: "Oh, this old beggar doesn't know what's good for him!"
His companion shook his head and said, "Your kindness is taken for granted! He deserves to be in such a miserable state."
Jiang Zhoulin became even angrier when he was called an "old beggar" and picked up his walking stick to hit the two men.
The two people who had been kind enough to give alms also became angry. The man who threw the copper coins kicked the cane in Jiang Zhoulin's hand and said, "I'm helping you out of kindness, why are you so fierce?"
His companion pulled him back and said, "Forget it, just kick the crutch. If you kick someone, what will you do if he blackmails you?"
When the man heard this, he immediately pulled his companion away cursing.
Just when Jiang Zhoulin picked up the crutch to hit someone, he accidentally twisted his waist. He leaned against the wall, holding his waist in pain. He suffered a double blow physically and mentally. He was no different from a stray dog at this moment.
Where are Wanyue and his wife Lu now? Is Mr. Zheng reliable?
Or have Wanyue and her son given up on themselves?
It's impossible. She has been kind to this mother and son with all her heart. Even if she suffered a huge loss, Jiang Lili has never treated Jiang Wanyue and her son badly!
They can't just abandon themselves like this!
When Jiang Zhoulin closed his eyes in despair, a respectful voice suddenly rang in his ears after a while: "Master Jiang, I finally found you!"
Jiang Zhoulin suddenly opened his eyes and saw a gorgeous carriage parked in front of him. An unfamiliar middle-aged man in decent clothes was squatting in front of him.
Jiang Zhoulin was a little excited, holding on to the wall and trying to stand up again: "You, who are you?"
"Master Jiang, I was sent by your daughter to pick you up!"
The middle-aged man helped him up and said, "Did you sprain your waist? Let me help you get on the carriage and rest! There are good plasters on the carriage."
"Okay, okay!" Jiang Zhoulin felt pleasantly surprised that good things had come after bad times.
After he was helped into the car by the middle-aged man, he asked, "Were you sent by Jiang Lili or Jiang Wanyue?"
The middle-aged man smiled and asked the driver to drive away. He then turned around and said, "Of course it was sent by your most filial daughter."
