After being reborn in the Mass Grave, she overturned her predecessor's power
Chapter 438: No Disappointment
On the day of Xiaohan, the Xuan family fled from Shengjing to Xiangchu.
Jiang Xue Ning brought people to greet him. After all, Xuan Lin died fighting for the Northwest, and Duke Xuan's Mansion had always been feared because of her.
When the war in the northwest was coming to an end, Lin Ran received her letter and went to the Duke's Mansion to persuade the Xuan family to leave.
The main reason is that they are afraid that Duke Xuan’s Mansion will be retaliated by Xiao Linfeng.
In the end, after the Xuan family dismissed many servants, they left quietly late at night with their confidants.
Taking into account that the old lady was old and had female relatives, Jiang Xue Ning also thoughtfully arranged several carriages to welcome her.
Bai Zhu, who had to go along to join in the fun, couldn't help but say, "You are so thoughtful and caring. You can't forget your old love. After all, if I remember correctly, you and the third son of their family were engaged."
When she mentioned Xuan Ci, she smiled and said, "I wonder what he has become."
When she first met him, he was the most dissolute man in Shengjing. Later, Xuan Lin died tragically on the battlefield, and the Xuan family changed drastically. He turned evil overnight and was determined to become a powerful official.
However, after the change of imperial power, he was never able to re-enter the officialdom, and the Xuan family fell into complete silence.
Bai Zhu instantly became alert and decided to keep a close eye on him today, feeling that he was worried about Shen Zhaoyan.
They came by boat, and the river would freeze if they stayed here any longer.
The dock was bustling with people, with many merchants rushing to return home before the river froze, so there were a lot of boats.
Soon a ship flying the Wolf Fang Army flag docked at the shore, and many people looked over.
Many people got off the boat, all wearing plain clothes. Xie Yuan, the leader of the Langya Army, who was also waiting, led some generals and soldiers to greet them.
As everyone waited with bated breath, Xuan Ci walked down holding Xuan Lin's tablet.
Xie Yuan nodded and said, "General, the enemy has retreated, the northwest has been pacified, you can rest in peace."
The people on the dock immediately understood who was coming and made way for them.
Jiang Xue Ning walked over and looked at his tablet and said, "Xuan Lin, I am here to take you home. You died fighting for the northwest. I acknowledge your contributions that the court does not acknowledge, and the people will always remember the blood you shed for this land."
A few years ago, when his body was returned to Beijing, he did not receive the proper treatment and honor he deserved, but today he is being compensated for that.
The Langya Army cleared the way along the way. The people in the city all knew that the general who had become famous at a young age and had made great military achievements and died for the northwest was entering Chu today.
From Chucheng to Xiangcheng, the gates were wide open. The flags of Xiangchu and the Wolf Fang Army were flying on the towers. Hundreds of thousands of Wolf Fang soldiers gathered at the gate of Chucheng to welcome him back.
When he died in battle and his coffin was brought back to the capital, he was not treated as he should be. Helian Xuan even blamed him and the Xuan family, and even his funeral was cold and deserted, refusing to acknowledge his contribution.
She said that she would recognize what the court did not recognize, and she would give what the court did not give!
He had never betrayed her, and he had defended the northwest for her with his own flesh and blood until his death, so she would not betray him either!
When the carriage arrived outside the city gate, Xuan Ci got off the carriage holding the tablet. Immediately, the sound of military drums and the military songs that Xuan Lin used to lead everyone in singing were heard.
"General, welcome home!"
"General, welcome home!"
"General, welcome home!"
Xuan Ci walked up to her and whispered to him, "My brother's biggest regret is that he couldn't wait for you to come back. You can take him into the city to see Xiang Chu."
Jiang Xue Ning took the tablet and walked into the city step by step. All the restaurants and shops on both sides of the street were decorated with white banners. When they passed by, the onlookers looked sad and quiet.
White paper money and flowers were continuously scattered, all spontaneously by the people. This was a way of mourning and blessing him.
Jiang Xue Ning said softly, "Did you see this? This is the Xiangchu you and I conquered together. They still remember you."
Xuan Qiao, who was walking behind, covered her mouth with her hands and burst into tears. When Xuan Lin died, she was in the mourning hall because she was sad and felt it was not worth it for him, so she blamed Jiang Xue Ning and said that she and Gu Mingyue were both evil people.
Now that she's grown up and experienced a lot, she has long realized that her brother is a hero and she should be proud of him.
Regardless of whether it was Gu Mingyue in the past or Jiang Xue Ning now, neither of them did anything wrong and had to apologize to anyone.
"Brother, you were not let down after all. Because of her words, you stayed in the northwest for many years and refused to retreat until your death. And she returned from hell and did not let you down."
The Prince of Xiang deserves it, and her brother deserves it too!
When they arrived at the mansion Jiang Xue Ning had prepared for them, Qinghe had already brought people to arrange everything.
The main gate was wide open, oil lamps and candles were lit in the ancestral hall, and Xuan Lin's tablet was placed in the hall.
The other ancestors of the Xuan family are still enshrined in the ancestral home and were not brought with them. They believe that Jiang Xue Ning will bring them back to Shengjing sooner or later.
Xie Yuan and several generals came in with wine, poured a glass and spilled it on the ground, "General, this is your favorite Bamboo Leaf Green."
They talked about a lot of things and then said goodbye.
The old lady invited them to have dinner, and they said, "You just arrived after traveling so long. We will visit you another day after you are settled."
Jiang Xue Ning lit three incense sticks for him and said with some regret, "It's just one step away. If you hold on a little longer, or if I try harder, maybe we can meet again."
Maybe regrets are the norm in life. Even if she comes back, some things cannot be changed.
Qing He was very sensible and only bought a few maids to do rough work. The servants in the mansion were a sensitive part. She did not make any arrangements on her own, but gave the maids' indentures to the old lady, "If you still need people, you can buy them yourself."
The old lady said politely, "Thank you, young lady."
The first meal in the new mansion was made up of dumplings that Qinghe had brought from the palace, which were freshly wrapped in the morning, and specially made mutton soup. It was simple and delicious, a perfect match for winter.
Jiang Xue Ning naturally stayed to eat dumplings together, "Now that you are in Xiangchu, feel free to stay here. If you need anything, just let me know."
"The prince has made very good arrangements. We are already very satisfied."
After eating the dumplings, she chatted with the old lady for a while, then she stood up and said goodbye, "You should have a good rest first, and I will invite you to visit the palace another day."
The old lady said, "Ci'er, take the prince out."
The others were indeed tired, but Xuan Ci didn't look tired at all. After sending them to the door, he said with a half-smile, "Why don't you show your hospitality and take me out for a drink?"
"If you're not tired, of course you can."
Bai Zhu kowtowed and said, "I want to go too."
"If the prince and I are discussing confidential matters, it would be inappropriate for an outsider like you to follow us."
Bai Zhu got angry instantly, "You talk like you're my wife."
Jiang Xue Ning said to Bai Shu helplessly, "You go back with Qing He and the others. I'll take him to the night market in Xiangchu."
Looking at the backs of the two people walking away side by side, Bai Zhu whispered, "Is their old love not rekindled?"
Qing He smiled and said, "You probably read too many storybooks when you were bored."
