Chapter 215 I'll ask a matchmaker to come to my house
Jiang Yuwen said in a deep voice, "Don't be so impulsive next time. Bring someone with you wherever you go."
Du Xiaoyao was also very regretful at this moment. If Jiang Yuwen had not discovered her, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
"Brother Jiang, thank you so much this time. If it weren't for you, I might never see my parents again in this life."
Jiang Yuwen was frightened when she said this. These human traffickers were extremely vicious and only targeted children and women. The pretty ones were sold to brothels, the ugly ones were sold to traffickers, and some were even sold to the mountains to be married to others.
"Go to sleep. We'll go back to the city early tomorrow."
Du Xiaoyao was indeed sleepy after tossing and turning for so long. Her eyelids drooped, and she hummed and fell asleep in the blink of an eye.
Jiang Yuwen saw that she fell asleep so quickly, thinking that she was really carefree. He smiled silently and fell asleep as well.
Jiang Yutong had been waiting anxiously at home. People from the Du family had come twice, and it was obvious that the Du family was getting anxious.
It was at this time that the soldiers guarding the city came to deliver the message.
"You mean my brother noticed something suspicious and chased him out of the city gate?"
The soldier guarding the city nodded and said, "Now that the city gates are closed, I'm afraid I won't be able to return today. General Jiang asked me to tell you something."
Jiang Yutong's mood became even more solemn.
After thanking the soldiers guarding the city and giving them some reward money, Jiang Yutong took a carriage to the Du Mansion.
This was Jiang Yutong's first time to visit the Du Mansion. The house was brightly lit and people were coming and going. The Du family had reported to the authorities and soldiers were present.
When Mrs. Du saw Jiang Yutong coming, she immediately stood up and greeted her, "Yutong, do you have any news about Xiaoyao?"
Jiang Yutong supported the shaky Madam Du and said, "Madam Du, let's go inside and talk."
At this moment, the master of the Du family, Du Wenshu and another couple were also there. Presumably, this couple was Du Xiaoyao's elder brother and sister-in-law.
Du Wenshu also came forward and asked, "Miss Jiang, do you have any news about my sister?"
Jiang Yutong repeated the news brought by the city guards, "My brother discovered something unusual and chased him out of the city gate."
"I don't know what the situation is at the moment."
The officers and soldiers happened to be on the scene. "Mr. Xiang, do you have any information about the suspicious person?"
Jiang Yutong also asked the guards at the time and repeated what they had said, "They were a couple dressed like farmers. The man was tall and the woman was sturdy. The man had a black mole at the corner of his mouth."
The officer pondered for a moment, "If I'm not mistaken, this should be the human trafficking gang we've been pursuing recently. These people are extremely vicious in their crimes, and I didn't expect them to dare to cause trouble."
After hearing this, the people in the Du Mansion were even more confused, "What should we do?"
The officer said, "Fortunately, General Jiang has already chased him out, so we don't think it will be a big problem. It's getting late today, so tomorrow morning, as soon as the city gates open, we will leave the city and search for him."
Then the officers and soldiers left first, and Du Wenshu sent the people out.
After a while, Du Wenshu came in with a bad look on his face. He said to Jiang Yutong, "Miss Jiang, I'm sorry to bother you so late. Let me take you home."
Only then did Jiang Yutong discover that Du Wenshu had a wound on his face. Looking again, she saw that Du's eldest brother also had a bruise on his face. Could it be that the two had a fight?
Jiang Yutong shook her head. The Du family had been busy all day, so why would they need them to send them off?
"No need, I have people here with me, we can contact you anytime if we have any news."
After saying that, Jiang Yutong said goodbye to Mrs. Du and others.
Du Wenshu still insisted on seeing the person off to the door.
Unexpectedly, just as he arrived at the door, a tall horse stopped in front of the Du Mansion, and a man stood in front of the horse. It had to be Xiao Yifeng.
Hearing the noise, Xiao Yifeng turned around and smiled at Jiang Yutong.
Jiang Yutong took a few quick steps towards Xiao Yifeng, "Why are you here?"
"I'll take you back."
Then Xiao Yifeng nodded to Du Wenshu, took Jiang Yutong's arm, and walked towards the carriage.
Du Wenshu watched the two people leave and was stunned for a while.
Only after the doorman behind him reminded him did Du Wenshu come to his senses and walk back home.
The rest of the Du family were still waiting. Du Xiaoyao's life or death was unknown. Although they knew that Jiang Yuwen had chased her out of the city, they didn't know what the situation was.
It's destined to be a sleepless night.
In the middle of the night, Jiang Yuwen was awakened by Du Xiaoyao's crying.
In the dim moonlight, Jiang Yuwen saw Du Xiaoyao crying in her sleep. He quickly lit the oil lamp and saw Du Xiaoyao sweating profusely and crying sadly, "Please, let me go, don't catch me."
"No, no."
"Miss Du, Miss Du, wake up, wake up."
Jiang Yuwen pushed Du Xiaoyao's shoulder.
After all, she is a little girl, and she was still scared after what happened today.
Du Xiaoyao was woken up by Jiang Yuwen. She looked around blankly and saw Jiang Yuwen possessing her head.
Perhaps the dream was too terrifying. Seeing someone familiar, Du Xiaoyao threw herself into Jiang Yuwen's arms and began to cry, "Brother Jiang, I'm so scared."
Jiang Yuwen's body stiffened, and his raised hand paused for a moment before finally landing on Du Xiaoyao's shoulder. "Okay, stop crying. It was just a nightmare. It's okay now. We can go back home when the sun rises."
Before going to bed, Du Xiaoyao seemed to be fine, but she was still scared. After all, she was still a little girl. It was good enough that she could maintain calm on the surface when encountering such a thing.
Du Xiaoyao cried for a long time, soaking Jiang Yuwen's clothes. She raised her head embarrassedly and saw the black spots on his shoulders. Du Xiaoyao felt embarrassed and said, "I'm sorry, Brother Jiang, I..."
Jiang Yuwen raised his hand to wipe Du Xiaoyao's tears, "Okay, stop crying. Your eyes won't look pretty if they get swollen."
After saying this, Jiang Yuwen finally realized that his actions were too intimate, and he put his hand down awkwardly.
Du Xiaoyao didn't notice it at first, but she reacted when she saw Jiang Yuwen looking uneasy.
She forgot to cry and her little face turned red.
Jiang Yuwen turned around quickly and said, "It's getting late, go to bed."
Du Xiaoyao called out to Jiang Yuwen, "Brother Jiang."
Jiang Yuwen turned his head and saw Du Xiaoyao looking at him with wet eyes.
"Brother Jiang, I will marry you."
Jiang Yuwen staggered and almost tripped over himself.
"you......"
Du Xiaoyao has always been a person with ideas, so once she started talking about it, it became less difficult.
"Brother Jiang, I've thought about it for a long time. Instead of marrying a stranger, I'd rather marry you. After all, I know you're a good person in every way, and I've always had a good impression of you."
These words, spoken from Du Xiaoyao's mouth, made Jiang Yuwen stutter.
"I...you..."
Du Xiaoyao felt shy at this moment. She lay down, covered her face, and said in a muffled voice, "Don't rush to reply to me. Think about it carefully."
Jiang Yuwen stood on the ground for a while, his thoughts turning. It would be a lie to say that he had no good feelings towards Du Xiaoyao.
At this moment I don’t know how to answer.
Du Xiaoyao closed her eyes and didn't hear any movement for a long time. She thought Jiang Yuwen was embarrassed to reject her. At this moment, she couldn't help but feel annoyed. She shouldn't have said it so impulsively. If she was rejected, how would she get along with him next?
Just when she was feeling frustrated, the man's deep voice came out, "Okay, I'll ask a matchmaker to come to your house when I get home."
