Chapter 1129 Hostages (1)

When Duan Xiaojin was patrolling, he always felt that someone was peeping at him. Thinking of the words that Qingshu sent someone to him two days ago, he suddenly felt alert.

Thinking of this, Duan Xiaojin and his companions who were patrolling with him said, "I feel a little uncomfortable in my stomach and want to see the doctor."

His companion had a good relationship with him, and he immediately said, "Then go quickly! I'm here, you don't have to worry."

Everyone in the Imperial Guard knew that he came in from the Duke of England, so no one dared to bully him at will. Duan Xiaojin was easy-going and had a good reputation in the Imperial Guard.

Duan Xiaojin did not go to see the doctor but went home. He and Master Duan and his wife said, "Dad, mother, I want you to live in the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion for the time being."

Aunt Duan was a little surprised and asked, "Why are you living in the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion?"

"What happened?"

Duan Xiaojin said about Fu Jingen: "Dad, mother, my elder brother is now with the grandson. My sister-in-law is worried that these people will not be able to find the grandson and the eldest brother, so she will arrest us to lead the eldest brother out. Someone is following me today, and I suspect it was for me."

"I am now working in the Imperial Guards. As long as I don't come out on weekdays, they can't do anything to me. But I'm worried that they will be unfavorable to you. Dad, mom, sister-in-law said that if there is any danger, I will send you to the Duke's Mansion to stay for a few days, and you will move back when the grandson returns to the capital."

Aunt Duan was so shocked that she couldn't even close her mouth: "You, what do you mean is that the grandson is not dead, is he with your brother now?"

Duan Xiaojin nodded and said, "Yes, the one who died is a substitute. The person behind the scenes probably wanted to be the emperor because he wanted to get rid of the grandson, so he wanted to get rid of the grandson. The eldest brother is very dangerous now, so we can't drag him down."

After hearing this, Master Duan made the decision and said, "Old woman, go and pack up the precious things, and let's go to the Duke's Mansion now."

Aunt Duan dared not be vague about her son's life. She only packed up a few jewelry and changed clothes, but she didn't take anything else.

The Wu family had already received Qingshu's letter, and they settled it immediately after they signed up. Mrs. Wu was afraid that Aunt Duan would be uneasy, so she specially asked her to talk.

After saying a call, Aunt Duan and Master Duan said with emotion: "The old lady has no airs at all, so don't be so kind."

Master Duan said with a smile: "They are polite to us because of Qingshu's face. We should not walk around these days, just stay in the yard."

Aunt Duan said angrily: "I'll use you to teach this? But old man, it's safe for us to hide in the Duke's Mansion. What should Xiao Jin do? Otherwise, let Xiao Jin stay here too, don't go to the yamen."

If you lose your job, you will lose it. You can find other livelihoods after you can't enter the yamen. But if you lose your life, you will have nothing left.

Master Duan did not agree and said calmly: "Xiao Jin is a man. If you encounter some danger, you can avoid what future do you expect him to have?"

"Jingen and his grandson can escape the pursuit of those assassins. Xiao Jinruo is too incompetent to protect himself."

Aunt Duan said with a face, "You know your future, don't you worry about your son's safety?"

How could he not worry? This is because he has raised a child for more than ten years. It’s just that some things must be done even in danger. No one can appreciate them in his life as a turtle.

However, Master Duan knew very well that this is not the time to reason, otherwise he would definitely make a fuss with him: "You can't stop him, you think I can stop him."

Aunt Duan sighed and said, "It's not a good thing for the child to have too many ideas, and he doesn't listen to what he says."

"He is so old and knows what he is doing, so don't worry about him."

Aunt Duan said with a nod, "I don't know how Xiaorou is now?" Last time I wrote a letter, I said I would bring Honghong to the capital to see us. I haven't written a letter for more than two months."

It’s not good to come to Beijing. I can’t see my daughter and niece anymore.

Master Duan said: "Maybe it was delayed and I didn't write it, or the letter was lost. But old lady, Xiaorou said that you can come to the capital to see what we said, don't agree."

Aunt Duan said angrily: "You need to say this. Things in the capital are expensive, and it takes so much money to get from Pingzhou to the capital. How can we afford to eat it? I want to spend a penny in half now, and then save the saved money for Xiaojin to marry a wife!"

Hearing this, Master Duan twitched: "Old woman, you have to save money, but don't save even a meal of meat!"

He hasn't eaten meat for days and doesn't know what meat tastes.

Aunt Duan immediately turned back and said, "What are you humming? Our family still rents a house now. Who would marry the girl to a family that doesn't even have a house? This house in the capital is always expensive, so I can't afford to buy a house without any horses."

Master Duan smiled and said, "You don't have to worry about the house. Qingshu told me that she had bought Xiaojin a house that she entered, which was three streets away from Jinyu Hutong. The child was afraid that I would think too much, so he said that her senior sister had never given Xiaojin gifts, and this time she would give Xiaojin compensation."

Hearing this, Aunt Duan fell silent.

Master Duan comforted her and said, "Don't think too much about it, old lady. Didn't we buy the house we lived in Pingzhou at that time? Why can't we live there now?"

"It's not good at all!"

Master Duan smiled and said, "What's wrong with it? Qingshu earns more money than Jingen, so buying a small house for Xiaojin is nothing."

Aunt Duan smiled bitterly and said, "Qingshu has married into the Fu family, so her money is naturally from the Fu family."

Master Duan heard this and said with a frightened face: "What do you mean when your daughter-in-law gets married in the future, her dowry will belong to our Duan family? If she doesn't give it to her, you have to show your face?"

Before Aunt Duan could speak, Master Duan said, "I tell you that the woman's dowry is her personal intention, and if she doesn't want to take it out, you won't say much."

Aunt Duan said, "I just said it casually."

Master Duan said seriously: "It's not okay to just say it casually. Your attitude must be correct, otherwise you will definitely not be able to get along with Xiao Jin's wife in the future."

If the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are in a state of disagreement, the family will be in a state of peace.

Aunt Duan said angrily: "I understand, I am getting more and more verbose as I get older."

After thinking about it, Master Duan said, "Old woman, I have almost finished my health now. After Xiao Jin gets married, let's go back to Pingzhou!"

"Don't worry, I'm sure I won't make things difficult for my future daughter-in-law."

Master Duan shook his head and said, "No, the consumption in this capital is too high. It's a bit difficult to support the whole family with Xiaojin's income. Moreover, it's too cold here. You see, we couldn't live without the kang last winter. I'm not used to such days."

Aunt Duan asked, "When Xiao Jin's wife gets pregnant and has a baby in the future, who will help me take care of the baby if I am not here?"

Master Duan said with a funny look: "You are totally worried. Qingshu doesn't have a mother-in-law, she has been doing well from pregnancy to delivery. As for the child, she just asked the mother-in-law or maid to help take care of her. Didn't you just say that you miss Xiaorou? When you return to Pingzhou, you can see her any time you want."

Aunt Duan did not agree or object, and said, "Now there is no trace of his daughter-in-law. Why do you say this? Wait until he gets his wife into the house and decide whether to go back."
