Chapter 216 Is there something going on?
On the quiet road, Xiao Yifeng's horse followed Jiang Yutong's carriage. Jiang Yutong lifted the curtain and looked at Xiao Yifeng outside the carriage. "How did you know I was in the Du Mansion?"
Xiao Yifeng looked at the lively Jiang Yutong and smiled, "I heard some news from somewhere else. I thought you must be worried, so I went to the Jiang Mansion to look for you. That's when I found out you were at the Du Mansion."
Jiang Yutong sighed, "Even you know about it. Now I don't know if my brother has found Xiaoyao?"
Xiao Yifeng comforted him, "Don't worry, your brother is a soldier under my command. He would never rashly leave the city without confidence. A few human traffickers are no match for him."
Hearing this, Jiang Yutong finally breathed a sigh of relief. "That's good. I hope time passes quickly. Maybe they will be back tomorrow."
"Well, don't worry, we will definitely see them tomorrow. I will arrange for someone to go out of the city to welcome them early tomorrow."
In the quiet night, the sound of horse hooves seemed to become pleasant to the ear.
With Xiao Yifeng's company, Jiang Yutong's uneasy heart was slightly settled.
After sending Jiang Yutong back home, it was too late for Xiao Yifeng to go in, so he just told her, "Go back and have a good rest, you'll be fine."
Jiang Yutong nodded and also advised, "It's so late, you should go back quickly. It's dark, so be careful when riding."
"Well go ahead."
Jiang Yutong looked back every few steps. Before entering the door, she saw Xiao Yifeng still standing there. Finally, she got caught up in the impulse, ran up and hugged him.
Seeing Jiang Yutong running over, Xiao Yifeng subconsciously stretched out his arms and hugged Jiang Yutong, "Thank you for coming to see me so late."
Xiao Yifeng touched Jiang Yutong's hair and said, "Silly girl, I came to you because I was worried about you. Isn't this what I should do? What's there to thank me for?"
Maybe Jiang Yutong was worried all day, so she was so fragile at this moment.
Xiao Yifeng also felt Jiang Yutong's emotions, "Be good, go back and have a good sleep. When you wake up, maybe they will appear in front of you."
Jiang Yutong nodded and came out of Xiao Yifeng's arms, "You can go back."
Then she raised her foot and kissed Xiao Yifeng's chin. Before Xiao Yifeng could react, Jiang Yutong ran away. Before entering the door, she waved to Xiao Yifeng who was touching his chin in a daze.
It was not until the door closed that Xiao Yifeng came to his senses. He couldn't help feeling a little annoyed. How could he have been so stupid? It was such a good opportunity.
After standing for a long time, Xiao Yifeng mounted his horse and left.
Jiang Yutong got up early in the morning before daybreak and arrived at the city gate. He saw the Du family's carriage.
Du Wenshu saw Jiang Yutong and got out of the car to greet her. "Thank you for troubling me, Miss Jiang."
Jiang Yutong shook her head. "Xiaoyao and I are friends, and my brother is outside the city gate. These are what I should do."
After waiting for a while, I didn't expect Xiao Yifeng to come.
"I'm going out of town with you guys. It'll be more convenient if there are more people."
Xiao Yifeng stopped his horse beside Jiang Yutong and smiled gently at her.
Jiang Yutong felt inexplicably hot under her gaze, and turned around to look at the city gate.
Fortunately, the city gate opened quickly.
The group left the city.
On the other side, Jiang Yuwen and Du Xiaoyao also got up before dawn.
The old lady was even going to make breakfast for them, but Jiang Yuwen and Du Xiaoyao declined. They couldn't wait to go back, as their families must be very anxious.
They set off when the sky was still gray. After their conversation last night, the atmosphere between the two became inexplicably ambiguous.
Jiang Yuwen didn't even dare to look at Du Xiaoyao.
When they were riding on the same horse, Jiang Yuwen didn't even dare to get close to Du Xiaoyao.
Du Xiaoyao wanted to laugh, but she didn't have a cloak, so Jiang Yuwen had to hold her in his arms.
The horse galloped, and Jiang Yuwen took a detour to see the people from yesterday. Seeing that they were all fine and not dead, he felt relieved. He arranged for the soldiers to take them away when he returned to the city.
The two groups met halfway.
Jiang Yutong carried a telescope with him. Seeing someone in front of him, he took a closer look and shouted happily, "It's my brother and Xiaoyao. They are fine. They are back."
Du Wenshu was also delighted when he heard the news. He whipped his horse and said, "I'll go to the front to meet them."
Jiang Yuwen also discovered a group of people in front.
"Xiaoyao."
Du Wenshu started shouting before he even got close.
Du Xiaoyao crawled out of Jiang Yuwen's arms and said, "It's my second brother."
She quickly waved to Du Wenshu, "Second brother."
When the horse arrived, Jiang Yuwen stopped, jumped off first, and then helped Du Xiaoyao get off the horse.
Du Wenshu's eyes moistened when he saw his sister was fine. He hugged Du Xiaoyao into his arms and said, "Silly girl, don't run away from home again next time. You scared us to death."
Du Xiaoyao also survived the disaster and nodded in Du Wenshu's arms, "Yeah."
Jiang Yutong and Xiao Yifeng also caught up. Jiang Yutong jumped off the carriage and looked at her brother. Seeing that his arm was injured, she asked with concern, "Is the injury serious?"
Jiang Yuwen shook his head. "It's just a minor injury, but did it worry you?"
Jiang Yutong nodded, "Fortunately, I'm back safely."
Du Xiaoyao also pushed Du Wenshu away and stretched out her arms towards Jiang Yutong with tears in her eyes, "Yutong."
Jiang Yutong looked Du Xiaoyao up and down, and was relieved to see that she was not injured. He pushed away her outstretched arm and tapped her forehead. "You, what should we do if something happens to you?"
Du Xiaoyao sniffed, hugged Jiang Yutong's arm and acted coquettishly, "I won't dare to do it again next time."
Jiang Yutong then hugged Du Xiaoyao, and the two smiled at each other.
Du Wenshu had already bowed solemnly to Jiang Yuwen, "Thank you, General Jiang. The Du family will never forget your great kindness."
Jiang Yuwen was a little hesitant to accept it, thinking that when he went to propose marriage to the Du family, he didn't know what the Du family would think of him, nor did he know whether the Du family would agree to this marriage.
Xiao Yifeng said, "The weather is cold, let's go back to the city first."
Jiang Yuwen then remembered the human traffickers. "I dumped those people in the woods outside the city yesterday. I have to arrange for someone to bring them back."
Xiao Yifeng brought a few people with him, and the Du family also had servants.
Xiao Yifeng ordered, "Go with the people from the Du Mansion and bring the man back to the city and call the government office."
Several people rushed away.
The rest of the people prepared to return to the city.
Du Xiaoyao got on Jiang Yutong's carriage. It was very warm in the carriage. Du Xiaoyao rubbed her hands and said, "I'm freezing to death."
Jiang Yutong put the spare cloak in the carriage on Du Xiaoyao.
Only then did Du Xiaoyao tell the story.
Jiang Yutong sighed, "Thank goodness you're back safely. Go back quickly. Madam Du is so worried."
Du Xiaoyao felt upset when she heard her mother being mentioned. "It's all my fault."
Jiang Yutong sent the person back to the Du Mansion, and then drove the carriage to go home. Jiang Yuwen looked at Du Xiaoyao who entered the mansion again and again. Jiang Yutong's eyes rolled around. Could something be wrong?
