When the dishes were served, Jiang Congrong was still standing at the window, looking across. Jiang Peirong looked at his back for a while before asking:

"Congrong, what are you looking at?"

"Ah? Oh." Jiang calmly sat down, "I haven't been back for decades. Look at how the capital has changed. Everything is new to me."

Is it novel?

Jiang Peirong watched him the whole morning and found that he was still "curious" about a certain shop. She thought Yan'er's worries were probably correct.

"After lunch, sister will take you somewhere."

"Since I got injured, my physical strength has not been as good as before. I still want to be here..."

"Jiang Mansion."

This was a place Jiang Congrong couldn't refuse.

"I, I came back a few years ago, but it's not allowed here..."

“The early years were the early years, and this is now.”

After a simple meal, Jiang Peirong ordered the carriage to go directly to the gate of the former Jiang Mansion.

"I remember that this place used to be overgrown with weeds, and the gate was dilapidated. How come now, now..."

Jiang Congrong ran in impatiently. The weeds in the courtyard had been removed, the broken walls had been repaired, and the beams and pillars had been repainted. He climbed the stairs and entered the main hall. When he saw the plaque in the middle that read "Hanging Pot to Save the World", his eyes immediately filled with tears.

The Jiang Mansion was still the same as before, and his father and mother seemed like they would come out from somewhere at any time and call him "Rong'er".

"Rong'er."

Jiang Congrong turned around suddenly and saw his sister coming over with her skirt lifted up, and suddenly he saw his mother.

"Sister, am I dreaming?"

"You are not dreaming. I said that the Regent wants to overturn the case for our Jiang family. He is not just talking."

"How could he agree? That was an order from his father!" Jiang Congrong said, biting his teeth. "The Mo family has been hunting us for so many years, fearing that we would expose their ugly deeds to the public. How could he possibly go against his father's wishes?"

"The regent's father is Emperor Renzong, and it was the late emperor who ordered the death of our Jiang family. The late emperor was the regent's elder brother, and he was the one who almost killed the regent."

"Sister, what I mean is..."

"Rong'er, the Regent has never been your enemy. I don't care what you thought in the past."

Jiang Peirong held Jiang Congrong's hand. She was kind-hearted and willing to believe her brother. "From now on, put aside your hatred and let's live a good life together as a family."

"The Regent is not my enemy?"

"Correct!"

"He's not the son of an enemy, either?"

"Correct!"

"What about our enemies?"

"died."

"Who should I seek revenge on?"

"You don't need to seek revenge. What you need to do now is to forget the hatred and live a good life with your sister, your two nieces, and your grandchildren from now on."

Jiang Peirong took him on a tour around the Jiang Mansion. This was the place they often visited when they were young, and that was the place they had stayed at when they were young.

There are memories everywhere in the courtyard.

"…Mother would dry and make medicine here. Your eldest niece has a nose like her grandmother, so it's very good. If you put a bowl of medicine under her nose, she can smell it out one by one. But your youngest niece is not like that.

When Yan'er was her age, she had already felt the acupuncture points of the bronze man clearly. I didn't teach her medical skills, so she learned them secretly whenever she had time. Once when her father went to Yongzhou, she ran over happily and told him seriously, "Dad, dad, I learned a great skill, three needles!"

Jiang Peirong pointed with three fingers and said, "Three needles paralyzed her father's face. When he was young, he was tall and handsome, and everyone praised him. At that time, I couldn't control my drooling."

She still finds that scene funny when she thinks about it now.

"Yan'er can learn anything after just one try. Xiao Yuanyuan is the other extreme of her sister. She is not good at medicine or literature. She can't recognize medicine or words. She loves to play around. She is always wielding swords and guns. She is not good at kung fu either."

Jiang Peirong sighed and shook her head, but there was no sign of disappointment on her face. "You have been hunting for a living these years, so you must be good at archery. You can teach Yuanyuan how to shoot a bow and arrow later."

Jiang Congrong knew that his sister went through so much trouble just to find something for himself to do so that he could be moved by the affection of his family and let go completely.

But, can he let it go?

Can he still live a good life like ordinary people?

He lay in bed at night, tossing and turning, unable to sleep. Every time he closed his eyes, he thought of his experiences in Qifeng Village over the years.

It was a den of bandits, burning, killing and looting.

He also instigated the prefect to deliberately vilify the regent.

In order to justify his identity, he even allowed his men to kill the hunter's family...

The past pages turned through his mind, and he never thought that he, a piece of drifting wood in the river, could one day take root.

A stable life... He thought of Lu Anyong.

Lu Anyong arrived in Beijing earlier and should have made a lot of preparations. He must find an opportunity to go out and have a good chat with Anyong.

Jiang Congrong was full of thoughts and did not fall into a light sleep until dawn. Not long after he closed his eyes, he heard a noise outside again.

"What's going on outside?"

The servant Fu Rui came in and replied, "To answer the second master, it is the Lu family who came to propose marriage."

"Recruitment?"

Jiang Congrong shook his head after waking up. Yan'er couldn't remarry and Yuanyuan was too young. Could it be that his sister was going to marry again?

"Which one?"

Fu Rui said quickly, "My Lord, this is Lu'e, the maidservant beside the princess. Master Tidian has adopted her as his goddaughter. She has been living in the Princess's Mansion for a while. Today, her husband's family is visiting, and Master Tidian is entertaining them. Do you want to go and take a look?"

lively?

Thinking that there might be a chance to get out, Jiang Congrong went ahead.

Passing by the front yard, he looked out the window.

Lu'e has the Regent's Palace behind her, so neither Lu's father nor Lu's mother dare to underestimate her. However, the Lu family still has a big Buddha - Old Madam Lu.

She came along today, and she kept saying, "Min'er is the eldest grandson of the eldest branch of my Lu family," and kept mentioning the hierarchy of legitimate and illegitimate children, as if it was the most amazing thing in the world.

Some of her words were said in a tactful way, but Jiang Peirong was an experienced person and could hear the deeper meaning - Lu'e was marrying up to her good grandson.

The marriage of the legal wife has not been completed yet, but she is already worried about the concubine. Jiang Peirong probably understood that Madam Lu has an inferiority complex. She is worried that Lu'e is too powerful and will suppress her grandson, so she came here today to show her power.

Cang Min was terrified when he heard this, fearing that his grandmother's words would offend the elder. He tried several times to ask her to say less, but due to etiquette, he did not dare to interrupt in front of his elders.

He looked apologetically at Lu'e diagonally opposite him, and when he withdrew his gaze, he caught a glimpse of a shadow outside the window.

Not quite clear, but somewhat familiar.

It seems like I have seen him somewhere on some night.

It's also a distant glimpse.

"Your Majesty, the Princess has arrived——"

The announcement came, and everyone stood up, "Greetings to the prince, greetings to the princess."

"No courtesy, sit down."

Shen Yangui and Mo Chengying took their seats and chatted for a while. Shen Yangui asked:

"From what the old lady said, it seems that the six rituals are too troublesome?"

Madam Lu changed her arrogant attitude and said politely, "Princess, you misunderstood. I just felt that Lu'e and Min'er already had a child. The family doesn't need to care about these empty formalities. The right thing to do is to enter the Lu Mansion as soon as possible."

Empty ceremony? Right path?

Maybe she thinks that Lu'e, an orphan girl, is not worthy of her good grandson?

No wonder Lu'e was worried all day long when she was in Kishu, and no wonder her mother specially adopted Lu'e as her adopted daughter.

Shen Yangui sneered, "Cang Min, do you think so too?"

If Cang Min was as cowardly as his father was, Shen Yangui would not hesitate to ruin the marriage and keep Lu'e by his side.

The royal palace is powerful enough, so it doesn't matter if it has two more people.
