Escort Chen brought three escorts back to the capital and came to the Xie family.

Butler Xie brought the three of them to the living room.

Gu Xirong heard the notification and hurried over.

"Master Chen, did you have a smooth journey? Did you find my mother-in-law?" Gu Xirong asked anxiously. There was not a day that she did not pray for her mother-in-law to die a good death.

Now I want to know the answer, hopefully it's no.

The situation went against his will. Escort Chen replied, "Madam Xie, we have found Madam Xie's whereabouts. She was just kidnapped by the Black Eagle Village. Her life is not in danger now, but the other party has learned of Madam Xie's identity and demanded a ransom of 10,000 taels of silver."

When Gu Xirong heard what Escort Chen said, she felt dizzy and passed out.

Xiuzhen quickly helped Gu Xirong back to the inner room.

Seeing this, Butler Xie said quickly, "My wife has always been filial, but she has been worried and frightened recently. She couldn't stand the news. Escort Chen, tell me the details. I will report to her when she wakes up."

Escort Chen could understand that anyone would be upset if such a thing happened to their family. "Thank you, housekeeper, this is what happened..."

Butler Xie wrote them down one by one. The more he listened, the more headache he got. He even felt like fainting.

However, the lady has already fainted and the general is not at home. If he faints again, there will be no one to help at home.

After hearing everything, Butler Xie invited Escort Chen to have dinner at his home, but Escort Chen refused. "We still have to report to the Escort Agency. Butler Xie, please make the decision as soon as possible."

"There are eleven people from our escort agency who have agreed to come over there and are waiting for our return. If you are willing to pay silver to redeem the person, then you can take the silver and send someone to follow us to redeem the person."

"If you don't want to redeem the person, then you can report it to the authorities and let them find a solution. As for whether the person can be returned, our escort agency cannot guarantee it. Besides, it's better to do it as soon as possible."

Butler Xie agreed, "Master Chen, when Madam wakes up, we will discuss it immediately and give you an answer as soon as possible."

"Okay!" Escort Chen clasped his fists, said goodbye and left.

Gu Xirong fainted. This time it was not a fake fainting, she really fainted from anger.

After asking a doctor to check her pulse, it turned out that Gu Xirong was already two months pregnant. She was now suffering from anxiety and had signs of threatened miscarriage.

The doctor gave Gu Xirong an injection, and she slowly woke up. "How could this happen?"

If she had known that her mother-in-law could cause such a big drama, Gu Xirong would never have given up the idea of ​​poisoning the old hag with a packet of medicine.

The doctor said, "Madam Xie, please don't worry too much, and don't get angry. You are pregnant. If you don't take good care of yourself, you will lose the baby."

Hearing this, Gu Xirong was stunned and put her hands on her lower abdomen, "Doctor, I'm pregnant?"

The doctor replied, "Yes, in fact, you had a miscarriage before, and the interval was short, and you are pregnant again. You are already insufficient, and if you continue to worry too much and get angry, you will not be able to keep this child, and you may also damage your body. It will be difficult for you to get pregnant again in the future."

Gu Xirong's eyes turned and she nodded, "Thank you for your reminder, doctor. I also ask the doctor to save the baby in my belly."

The doctor nodded, "I will naturally do my best. I will prescribe three days of medicine for Madam. After three days, Madam will come back to adjust the prescription."

"Thank you, doctor." Gu Xirong thanked.

After sending the doctor away, Gu Xirong lay on the bed, tears streaming down her face.

Through the screen, Butler Xie relayed Escort Chen's words to Gu Xirong, "Madam, don't worry, there is always a way."

What could Gu Xirong do? "Butler Xie, please go down first. I will think about it for a moment and then let you know."

"Yes, ma'am." Butler Xie breathed a sigh of relief and waited for Gu Xirong's order.

After Butler Xie left, Xiuzhen saw this and reminded Gu Xirong, "Madam, don't cry. The doctor just said that you can't worry too much. Even if you don't think about yourself, you should think about the baby in your belly."

"General, you are young. If you don't have a child and can't have one in the future, even if you plan for the Xie family to prosper in the future, what does it have to do with you? In the end, you will only be preparing wedding clothes for the wild children of other wild women."

Hearing this, Gu Xirong wiped away her tears and said, "Xiuzhen, you are right. I can't cry. I have to cheer up. I finally got five thousand taels of silver from Sister Ling, and I spent one thousand five hundred taels to hire a bodyguard. I only have more than three thousand taels of silver left. Where can I get ten thousand taels of silver to redeem that old woman?"

When Xiuzhen thought of the money that Madam Xie had squandered, she felt pain in her heart. "Madam is weak and the family doesn't have that much money. How about we send a letter to the general through the imperial post station and let the general make the decision?"

Gu Xirong thought about it and said, "We have to prepare for both situations at this time. We need to send a letter to the general and also find a way to raise money. This matter will probably spread quickly. If we don't save the old lady, it will definitely affect my reputation."

"If the old lady dies, the general will blame me. After all, I am in the capital, and my family and relatives have money. If I don't try to borrow money, my husband will think I didn't try my best."

"Xiuzhen, take my letter and go to the Marquis of Changning's Mansion and the Marquis of Jingyang's Mansion to borrow money." Gu Xirong gritted her teeth. Now she could only get money from her mother's family and the Marquis of Changning's Mansion.

Gu Xirong drank the medicine and forced herself to write two letters, asking Xiuzhen and Butler Xie to deliver them to the Mansion of Marquis Changning and the Mansion of Earl Jingyang.

When Gu Xiling took the letter from Xiuzhen and read it, she was also quite shocked.

This old lady Xie is even more pretentious than in her previous life.

However, she was merciful and endured for ten years before ending Madam Xie's life.

I don’t know if Gu Xirong can tolerate it now!

There’s a good show to watch!

Gu Xiling said to Xiuzhen, "Xiuzhen, take Butler Xie to Jingyangbo's mansion and see how much they can give. If it's not enough, I'll pay for the rest."

"Sister Rong is sick and weak. As her younger sister, I am really worried. I will pack my things and go to visit her."

"Thank you, Second Miss." Xiuzhen sighed, thinking that the Second Miss was really kind.

The eldest daughter often scolds the second daughter, but when something really happens, the only ones who can help are the second daughter and her mother's family, the Jingyang Earl's Mansion.

Xiuzhen and Butler Xie hurried to Jingyangbo's mansion again. When Old Madam Gu and Qin heard Xiuzhen's request, they were annoyed, but they had to lend the money.

Finally, Qin gritted her teeth and paid three thousand taels of silver. "This old lady Xie is really something. Why are you going to the northern border in such a cold weather? Isn't this like a sheep walking into a tiger's mouth?"

Xiuzhen shared the same hatred and said, "Who says it's not true? The eldest lady tried to persuade him, but it didn't work."

"Mother has been feeling unwell lately, so I am going to visit my older sister on her behalf. Xiuzhen, you go back first, I will prepare some supplements here." Qin explained. Since the money had already been borrowed, of course she had to do her best to save face.

"Thank you, ma'am." Xiuzhen breathed a sigh of relief. She finally got the money.

But with so many things to clean up for Old Madam Xie, there was no peace at home.

Can it be solved once and for all?
