447. Chapter 447: How about I also go see her

A Yang's voice came from one side: "Want a child? Sure! Get the matter settled and the child will be returned to you."

Ji Xue saw that it was him.

She rushed over and begged him: "Big brother, my son is still young; he can't be away from me. If you return him to me, can I not do as you say?"

Hearing this.

A Yang glared at Ji Xue and said: "We already gave you a chance before; you didn't take it, right? If you don't want your son thrown into the mountains to be fed to wolves, hurry and act against Qiao Sheng!"

Ji Xue's face instantly turned pale.

How could they treat her child like that!

Ji Xue was so angry she wanted to slap A Yang, but she never dared to do it.

Because she feared A Yang would deal with her son.

Ji Xue suppressed her inner fury and stared at A Yang, saying: "I'm sure I can't get my hands on him right away; if my son isn't by my side and my husband asks, what would I say? Aren't you afraid he'll suspect and ruin your plans?"

She thought that by saying this.

A Yang would return the son to her.

But she didn't think.

A Yang replied: "You handle it yourself; if you ruin our plans, I'll have people throw your whole family into the mountains to feed the wolves."

"You…"

Ji Xue's eyes reddened with anger.

She still cared about her son, after all he was flesh that fell from her.

Not long after.

Ji Xue returned home.

Her mother-in-law, Zhang Dacui, who had already returned home, saw Ji Xue come back alone, not holding the child.

Zhang Dacui set down the vegetables she was holding and came over: "Xiao Xue, where's Da Bao?"

Hearing her ask.

Ji Xue tightened her grip, lifted her eyes and said: "Mother, Da Bao is with my mother's family; my mother isn't feeling well and wants to see Da Bao, so I sent him over."

Without waiting for Zhang Dacui to say anything.

Ji Xue continued: "I only realized after I went that I didn't bring any clothes, so I came back to fetch them."

She thought that was really the case.

Zhang Dacui said: "What's wrong with your mother? Is it serious? How about I go see her too?"

If she goes.

Wouldn't her lie be exposed instantly?

Ji Xue hurriedly said: "Mother, my mother isn't very ill; you don't need to go. If you go, my mother's family will certainly blame me, making a mountain out of a molehill."

Thinking about it, she felt her words were reasonable.

So Zhang Dacui didn't insist on going to see Tian Cuifen.

When Ji Xue went to the room to pack things.

Zhang Dacui suddenly thought of something, walked over and said: "Xiao Xue, I won't go, but your husband still has to. When Da Shui returns, I'll have him go to your house for a visit."

The mother-in-law is ill; as a son‑in‑law, he can't not go to see her.

Ji Xue had no way to refuse, so she could only agree.

"Alright."

She packed her things.

As Ji Xue was about to leave, Zhang Dacui called her back and handed her two hundred wen: "Xiao Xue, this isn't much, but it's Mother's goodwill; take it and buy some food for your mother."

Zhang Dacui's kindness left Ji Xue a little unsure how to face her.

Ji Xue gave a vague reply, took the packet, packed it, and headed out.

They hired a carriage.

Ji Xue rode to the Ji residence.

Ji Fan held a low official rank and had no personal manor, so they rented a house in the Imperial Capital.

The location was somewhat remote.

The surroundings weren't very good either.

Ji Xue knocked on the door for a while before someone came to open it.

The one who opened the door was A Gui.

A Gui was the young servant they bought after arriving in the Imperial Capital.

He saw the visitor was Ji Xue, smiled and called out: "Second Aunt, you're back, the matriarch was still talking about you. Come in quickly, come in quickly."
