Chapter 639 The Marshal is in trouble again
After leaving the Tian residence, Gui'er thought she could go back and rest, but Sha Yanyao drove her again, bringing the child with him, saying he was going to see Jinbao. Sha Yanyao said, "I really can't bear to separate Jinbao's child from his mother right after he was born, but there's nothing I can do. It's all for the safety of our family. When you go, please help me put in a few words for me."
Gui'er could only nod and say, "Don't worry, brother. I don't think Jinbao is a stingy person."
Sha Yanyao paused and continued, "As for the Duanmu family, you'd better not mention it to anyone in Nanjing. I really can't figure out why my father insisted on marrying into the Duanmu family. Sino-Japanese relations are tense now, and everyone knows that the war is imminent. Once involved with the Japanese, it is especially easy to be labeled a traitor. My father has been running Jiangcheng for so many years, he may feel that he is fearless, but he doesn't think about me." He sighed.
Guier finally realized that the eldest wife was very dissatisfied with the Marshal because of her own situation. She just didn't dare to say it out loud when she was in Jiangcheng before.
She felt this was very useful and might even be able to win Sha Yanyao's support for Sha Yanxiao. She quickly said, "Actually, even though I've already left Jiangcheng, I'm still worried about my second brother. What if he clashes with Father again?"
Sha Yanyao sighed and said, "My second brother is a smart man. He should be able to handle it."
Gui'er was a little disappointed. It seemed that Sha Yanyao was planning to stay out of the matter.
When they arrived at Jinbao's apartment, they found the lights were off and it was completely dark. Gui'er asked curiously, "Could it be that Jinbao went out?"
Sha Yanyao sensed something was wrong and pulled out his pistol from his waist. Guier instantly became nervous and quickly hid aside.
Sha Yanyao took out the key to open the door, walked in and turned on the light. Gui'er followed him into the room, only to find Jinbao sitting alone on the sofa in the hall, wiping away tears.
Sha Yanyao hurried over and asked, "What's wrong? What happened?"
Jin Bao burst into tears and said with a desolate face: "Dad, you are finally back. I missed you and your son so much that I almost went crazy."
Sha Yanyao was somewhat moved. He sat down and hugged Jinbao in his arms.
Gui'er was a little embarrassed standing by, so she pretended not to care and fiddled with a table lamp next to her. However, she found that the lampshade was warm, and it was probably turned on just now.
She immediately understood Jin Bao's little trick. He was planning to put on a show to make Sha Yanyao feel pity for her.
Gui'er rolled her eyes, but did not expose her. Sha Yanyao, Jinbao and their son looked so happy and the scene of family reunion was very touching. Jinbao came to his senses, saw Gui'er, and quickly stood up to greet her.
Gui'er also took out the local specialties she bought for her. Jinbao smiled and said, "Thank you. Why do you look a little thinner?"
Sha Yanyao stared at Gui'er. Knowing that Jinbao probably didn't understand anything, she smiled and said, "Really? I don't think anything has changed."
Jin Bao said, "I heard that you came back late because my father-in-law was sick. Is he well now?"
Sha Yanyao smiled and said, "It's nothing serious. It's just that we rarely go back to our hometown, and since he was sick, it was difficult for us to leave at that time. He's much better now."
Jin Bao said with a look of relief, "That's good. I wasn't here to serve you during such an important time. I felt really uneasy."
Sha Yanyao was very pleased with her kindness and said to her, "The child will be left with you. You have a kind character, and I feel at ease with you. If there's anything we need or we're short of manpower, just let me know."
Jin Bao said gently: "This is our child. Isn't it natural for me to take care of him? It's a pity that our family can't live together, and I can't share the burden of the family." Gui'er saw that she actually wanted to go back to Sha Mansion. After all, she was not even a concubine now. However, Gui'er and Sha Yanyao could both hear the meaning of her words, but they just didn't say it out loud.
After coming out of Jinbao's place, Sha Yanyao said to Guier, "Guier, your sister-in-law is about to give birth. I'm afraid I won't have enough energy to take care of Jinbao then. If you have nothing to do, please come over here more often to stop her from getting too worried."
Gui'er was actually very unhappy, because in this way, she would become the sandwich between Jinbao and Miss Tian again, but she was now in Nanjing, under the protection of the eldest wife, so she had no choice but to nod and agree.
Anyway, Gui'er's life was back on track, but she was worried about Jiang Cheng's situation every day. Even her classmate Zhou Huifang noticed it and said, "Why are you so worried every day after you came back? Did something happen at home?"
Gui'er also wanted to find someone to talk to, but there were so many things involved that she couldn't express her suffering. She could only smile and say, "No, my father fell ill when I went home for the New Year. I don't know if he's better now."
Zhou Huifang sighed and said, "I see. Your family is a prominent one back home, so there should be a lot of people taking care of him. It shouldn't be a big problem. But if the pillar of the family falls, it will have a huge impact. After my uncle passed away, our family changed a lot. I used to have many close friends, but now I only have a few friends left, including you."
Guier smiled and said nothing.
That day, Gui'er was in class at school. There was a test scheduled for that class. Gui'er usually studied hard and always had top grades. She finished quickly and was about to write her name and hand in the test paper when Miss Shen suddenly walked into the classroom, whispered a few words to the invigilator, and then walked straight up to Gui'er and said, "Gui'er, please come out for a moment."
Gui'er was a little confused, but she followed her out. As soon as she left the classroom, she saw Sha Yanyao standing in the corridor outside.
She was very surprised and called out, "Brother, why are you here?"
When Sha Yanyao saw her coming out, he quickly stepped forward and said, "Come with me now. Something happened to our father. We need to go back to Jiangcheng right away."
Gui'er was stunned, and she had a bad feeling in her heart. She turned around and glanced at Miss Shen. Miss Shen walked up and said, "What's the matter?"
Sha Yanyao looked very unhappy and said, "We don't know what happened yet. We only know that father is unconscious." Then he was about to pull Gui'er out.
Gui'er quickly said, "Brother, I just finished my test paper. Please let me hand it in to the teacher first."
As he said that, he ran back to the classroom, wrote his name on the test paper and handed it in. Then he tidied up his desk, took a few of his textbooks and walked out.
