Chapter 611 Let Your Family Be Buried with You
The nanny at the door blocked the door and looked at Jiaojiao with a fierce face.
Jiaojiao looked back at the evil old lady with a fierce light in her eyes. She took advantage of the nanny's inattention, suddenly jumped in front of the old lady, pulled out a dagger from her waist, and pressed it against the old lady's neck.
"Give An An back to me, or don't blame me for being rude." Jiaojiao said fiercely.
She practiced martial arts with Ji Xiaobei and was no longer the fragile girl she used to be.
She put her strong arms around the old woman's neck.
The old lady was clamped and couldn't move at all. She looked at Jiaojiao in horror, as if she didn't recognize her anymore.
The nanny at the door turned pale with fear. She dared not move or shout, for fear that Jiaojiao's knife would cut the old lady's neck.
At this time, the eldest and the second oldest entered the yard one after another.
The nanny at the door looked at the brothers Ruo Xiaowei as if they had seen their saviors.
The two of them looked at the frightened nanny and looked into the house, both of them were horrified.
Ruo Xiaowei shouted in horror, "Qiu Jiaojiao, you are so brave to hurt the old lady..."
Jiaojiao sneered: "If you hurt my An'an, I will let your family be buried with you!"
"No, third sister-in-law, don't be impulsive!" The second brother Ruo Xiaocheng moved a step forward and said.
"Ah... don't come over here..." he shouted.
The old lady already felt the pain in her neck.
Waka Xiaocheng stood firm.
"Qiu Jiaojiao, you gave Zheng Dafu to the Ruo family, so we, the Ruo family, don't want your daughter anymore!" Ruo Xiaowei said with a wry smile.
"Bah! Your purpose of kidnapping An An is to get Zheng Dafu, right?"
Jiaojiao sneered and applied more force on her hands.
The old lady exclaimed: "Oh, Third Wife, you are charged with murder. When An An grows up, it will affect her reputation!"
The old lady observed Jiaojiao's expression out of the corner of her eye.
Jiaojiao was stunned, and the strength on her arm loosened. The old lady used all her strength to push Jiaojiao, then lowered her head and bit Jiaojiao's arm.
Jiaojiao cried out in pain, staggered, and hit her lower back on the corner of the table.
Jiaojiao's face was twisted in pain and she covered her waist.
The maids at the door rushed forward. Before they could touch Jiaojiao, they felt a strong force pulling the back of their collars. Before they could even turn their heads around, the two maids were thrown aside.
When the old lady saw the tall figure breaking into the room, she shuddered with fear and sat down on the ground with a thud.
The two brothers Ruo Xiaowei stared in amazement. They saw that the man was covered tightly with a pair of fierce eyes. He picked up the old lady on the ground with his big hands like eagle claws and carried her to sit on the table.
"Tell me, where is the child?" Ji Xiaobei was extremely cold and stern.
The old lady rolled her eyes and fainted.
Ruo Xiaowei turned around and shouted to the courtyard: "Hurry up, there is an assassin!"
Ji Xiaobei strode towards Ruo Xiaowei, grabbed his arm, and heard a snap.
Ruo Xiaowei let out a scream.
He stared at the ferocious eyes. He recognized this fierce person as Qiu Jiaojiao's sister, Ji Xiaobei.
He clutched his arm and fell to the ground, screaming in pain.
If Xiaocheng saw this, he would turn around and run out.
Ji Xiaobei flew forward and kicked the door shut.
Ruo Xiaocheng hit the wooden door straight on and was bounced back a long distance.
Ji Xiaobei leaned against the door and asked, "Jiaojiao, are you okay?"
Jiaojiao stared at Ji Xiaobei in a daze, then came to her senses: "Sister, why are you here? An An is in their hands."
Ji Xiaobei turned to Ruo Xiaowei again.
Ruo Xiaowei cried out: "No, the child is not in my hands..."
Jiaojiao looked at the clothes that fell on the ground.
An An does have a dress like this.
"That dress, that dress, I saw that child wearing it, so I bought one..."
If Xiaowei was trembling with fear, it was because he had seen how powerful Ji Xiaobei was.
"So, you tricked Jiaojiao here because you want Zheng Dafu?" Ji Xiaobei asked sarcastically.
"Zheng Dafu has squeezed our Cuijinlou so much that we have no business at all. Are you going to give us a way to survive?"
Waka Xiaocheng said.
"Business is a fair competition. We at Zheng Dafu didn't steal or rob. You guys don't have any business, so you come up with despicable tricks. I'm going to report it to the police!"
Jiaojiao realized that she had been deceived and gnashed her teeth in anger.
Ruo Xiaocheng said unyieldingly, "Go to the police. I will sue you for trespassing!"
Ji Xiaobei said coldly: "We'll see!"
She pulled Jiaojiao out.
The two of them went out, and Little White Ju was already waiting outside.
The two men mounted their horses and left Ruo's house.
"Sister, I'm sorry!" Jiaojiao felt that she had caused trouble for Ji Xiaobei again.
"The Ruo family resorted to this desperate measure because their business was taken away. You can't be blamed for this. It was my sister who failed to protect you! They threatened you with An An because they wanted to take over Zheng Dafu!"
"Sister, when I heard that they wanted to take An An away, I panicked..."
The two men arrived at the inn, it was already late at night.
Fu Jichang stood on the second-floor corridor and watched Xiao Baiju return with Ji Xiaobei and Jiaojiao.
Only then did he feel relieved!
It was already very late. Fu Jichang turned off the lights and stared into the darkness alone with his eyes wide open.
Scenes from the past came flooding back to my mind.
The emperor couldn't possibly treat me like this. I must be wrong.
He had hinted to the emperor many times, both explicitly and implicitly, that there was something wrong with Prince Qing, but the emperor did not seem to show much surprise. He just said, "I feel relieved as long as you, Lord Fu, are here."
When the emperor just inherited the throne, the northern border was unstable. His grandfather fought in the northern border for ten years, and the northern border was finally stabilized and the people lived a prosperous life.
After my grandfather returned triumphantly, all the civil and military officials in the capital went out of the city to welcome him.
After entering the city, people lined the streets and cheered.
But not long after, my grandfather was dismissed from office on a trumped-up charge.
My grandfather was filled with sorrow and resentment, and felt disheartened.
Not long after, the northern border was invaded by barbarians again, and my grandfather was forced to make meritorious contributions to clear his name.
The northern border was stable, but my grandfather died of overwork.
His grandfather did not approve of his son becoming a military commander, so Fu Jichang's father became a civil official and did not have to go to war.
My father accompanied the emperor on a private tour and was accidentally killed by an assassin.
Fu Jichang was eighteen years old when his grandfather passed away.
The barbarians who were driven away invaded again. Fu Jichang went to the northern border on behalf of his grandfather. After the northern border was slightly stabilized, he was recalled by the emperor to guard Anzhou, the southern gate of the capital.
He performed his duties conscientiously and worked diligently for the people.
He is quite popular among the people in Anzhou.
Even the people in the surrounding prefectures knew about Fu Jichang, the Tongpan of Anzhou.
He sighed. Was he going to follow his grandfather's old path again?
More accomplished than the master?
Although he was a Tongpan, he had a military token. After returning from the northern border, he took the initiative to hand over the military token, but the emperor did not accept it.
He solved the people's food problem, and this time the people's calls for him were even louder.
Fu Jichang was puzzled and wanted to hand over the military power now.
Let the emperor no longer doubt himself.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door.
Fu Jichang sat up with a start.
