Poor Family: I reached the top by marrying a wife

Chapter 497 Undercurrent 2.0

"Second brother!"

Soon, Mr. Xue San came to the hall.

At this time, Mr. Xue San's face was full of joy.

Jiang Chen felt helpless when he saw Mr. Xue Sanye like this.

"Brother, are you in such a hurry to leave?"

"Can't you stay a few more days?"

Mr. Xue is now anxious to join the army and has come to see Jiang Chen two or three times.

This time, I guess it can’t be stopped.

"Second brother, all good things must come to an end!"

"I have stayed in the capital for a long time!"

"It's time to go!"

Mr. Xue San said this with excitement.

"Ugh!"

"Since you have made up your mind to go, I will not stop you. But tonight, I want to get drunk with you! It's considered a practice for you!" Jiang Chen said helplessly.

"Okay, I just wanted to have a drink with you!"

"Tonight, let's get drunk!"

Mr. Xue San happily agreed.

As night fell, in the backyard of the marquis's mansion, a table was filled with wine and food.

However, there were only three people eating.

Jiang Chen, Mr. Xue San, and Xue Linglong.

"Third brother, do you really have to go to the border? Is it okay not to go?"

"I... you are my only relative now, I..."

Xue Linglong looked at Mr. Xue San with a look of reluctance.

Tears were about to flow out of her eyes.

"Little sister, what are you doing?"

"Third brother, I am going to establish a career!"

"Maybe, I can even win the title of Marquis!"

"You should be happy for your third brother!"

Mr. Xue Sanye persuaded with a smile on his face.

But his eyes were also filled with reluctance.

"Linglong, don't cry. My brother has arrived at the border. He will be fine. I will arrange for someone to take care of him."

"Today is a happy day, I...we should be happy!"

"Come on, drink!"

"Let's toast to Big Brother and show him our practice!"

Jiang Chen saw that the atmosphere was not right and hurriedly raised his glass!

……

"Third brother, you must take good care of yourself. Linglong will be waiting for you to come back!"

Xue Linglong raised her glass and drank it all.

"Hahaha! Dear sister, don't worry! Third brother will definitely come back!"

Mr. Xue Sanye clinked glasses with Jiang Chen and then drank the wine in one gulp.

After drinking for a while, Xue Linglong returned to the room.

Jiang Chen and Mr. Xue San were the only ones left in the yard.

"Second brother, I don't know when I can come back this time!"

"I believe that with you here, my little sister will be fine!"

"My little sister used to have a weird temper, but now she's much better. You... must be kind to her!"

Third Master Xue raised his glass and began to give instructions to Jiang Chen.

"Brother, don't worry!"

"With me here, Linglong, nothing will happen!"

Jiang Chen said with a firm look on his face.

"Okay! With your words, I feel relieved!"

"Hahaha! Drink! Drink!"

Mr. Xue San laughed out loud.

That night, the two of them drank until late at night.

The next morning, Mr. Xue Sanye left the capital city escorted by a team of guards.

Jiang Chen and Xue Linglong were sent to the city gate.

After seeing Mr. Xue Sanye's back disappear, Xue Linglong could no longer hold back her tears.

Jiang Chen saw Xue Linglong like this, and hugged her in his arms to comfort her: "Linglong, don't worry, big brother will be fine."

"He will definitely come back safely!"

"Well, I...I believe you." Xue Linglong said while sobbing.

The two of them took a carriage back to the marquis's mansion.

Jiang Chen originally thought that Zhang Ze’s matter was over, and he could rest quietly in the capital for a while and develop steadily.

But how could he know that in the dark... undercurrents were already surging again!

……

In a secret house in the capital.

A person dressed as a maid, carrying a lunch box, slowly came to the backyard.

And above the backyard, there was a lock hanging.

The maid slowly opened the door lock and walked into the backyard.

At this moment, in the backyard, a pretty girl was silently shedding tears.

The girl was wearing a white dress and looked very beautiful.

But her red and swollen eyes seemed to be telling others about her tragic experience!

"Take it away! I won't eat it!"

"Take it!"

Seeing a maid coming in with a lunch box, the woman shouted angrily!

However, the maid ignored the woman's shouting and placed the lunch box directly on the stone table in the yard!

"I said I don't want to eat, I..."

When the woman saw this, she wanted to overturn the lunch box.

But just as she was about to take action, the maid spoke.

"If you don't eat enough, how can you have the energy to run out?"

"kindness!?"

When the woman heard this, her face suddenly changed!

"You...what do you mean?"

The woman looked cautiously at the maid who delivered the lunch box.

"Haha, I know your miserable experience."

"Do you want to avenge your family and gain your freedom?" the maid smiled faintly.

"You...you're willing to help me!?"

"You're not lying to me, are you!?"

The maid looked at the woman cautiously!

……

"Haha, if I wanted to lie to you, I wouldn't say that!"

"There is a new chief official in Kyoto Prefecture. He can help you get revenge!"

"Eat your meal quietly. At three o'clock tonight, the gate to the yard will be opened. When you go out, you will meet the patrol team from Kyoto Prefecture. You can ask them for help!"

"Remember, no matter what time it is, don't tell anyone about the help I gave you!"

"Otherwise, I will kill you!"

After the maid finished speaking, she turned around and left without paying any attention to the woman's shocked expression!

The woman who stayed there was stunned for a while, then opened the lunch box and started to eat voraciously!

She hasn't eaten for several days!

If it wasn't for revenge for her family, she would have wanted to die long ago!

Now that she has the chance, she must give it a try!

As time passed, night fell.

Now, the capital of Dajing is under curfew!

After the curfew, the only people walking on the streets were the patrol officers of Kyoto Prefecture and the city guards!

"Third brother, why are you here patrolling with us at night instead of going to a brothel to sleep with a woman?"

"That's right! Third brother, you don't have any money, do you? Do you want us to help you get some?"

"Third brother..."

A group of Kyoto Prefecture yamen runners were strolling slowly down the street.

However, these people don’t look like yamen runners, but more like thugs!

Those yamen runners' uniforms were worn crookedly by them!

This……

"Tsk! What do you know!?"

"I don't trust you guys!"

"You guys are a bunch of cowards. Don't I know what you are like?"

"I worked so hard to find you a job, don't mess around and lose it!"

"do you know?"

Zhang San said with a look of disdain.

But little did he know that he himself was the gangster leader!

"Third brother, what could happen at this time of night? Could it be that there is another young lady rushing out and begging us to like her?"

"Hahaha!"

A group of yamen runners said this and burst into laughter!

But just as everyone finished speaking, a beautiful woman in a light green dress really rushed towards them!

"Help!"

"Masters of the yamen! Save me!"
