Forced to be a third person: I turned around and left the palace to marry a villain

"Who in the world would make up a lie about their biological mother's health? Besides, I was there when Jiang Xiaoan diagnosed Madam Feng's condition," Jiang Xue said firmly.

Fu Dong spoke softly, not because he was worried about Madam Feng, but because of the concubine and the child in her belly.

Xiao Zhanye spends so much time with her that it makes people feel uneasy.

Jiang Xue gently shook her head and said soothingly: "Fudong, I trust Yun Che."

Fu Dong was extremely anxious, thinking that the princess seemed to trust Xiao Zhan too much.

On the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, Jiang Xiaowei got up early to greet the elders in her family.

At this time, the doorman came running in with a happy face and announced the good news: "Old General, Old Madam, the young general is back!"

Jiang Xiaowei was surprised and happy. Before the New Year, Lan Feng had said that he would spend the New Year in the northern border area. She didn't expect that he would rush back on the first day of the New Year.

She didn't care about her usual elegance and hurried out to greet him. As soon as she reached the door, she saw a young general in white clothes coming over. It was Lan Feng without a doubt.

Lan Feng smiled and called out, "Xiao Wei!"

"Husband, you are finally back."

Jiang Xiaowei brushed the snowflakes off his shoulders and said, "Come into the house and warm yourself by the fire."

She then ordered the maid: "Go to the kitchen and cook a bowl of ginger soup to warm the general up."

Lan Feng smiled and said, "It's common to see snow in the north in winter. I'm used to the cold, so there's no need to worry so much."

"What's the trouble of drinking a bowl of ginger soup?"

Jiang Xiaowei insisted, "I won't interfere with your affairs outside, but you must listen to me at home. Drink this bowl of hot ginger soup to drive away the cold."

Before she finished speaking, she realized that her tone was a bit harsh, but no one blamed her. Lan Feng even smiled and responded: "Okay, whatever you say."

General Lan then asked, "Didn't you say before that you wouldn't go home for the New Year? Why did you suddenly change your mind? If you come back a day earlier, we can have a reunion dinner together."

Lan Feng explained: "The north is peaceful this year, so I decided to return home. I wanted to be home before New Year's Eve, but the heavy snow along the way delayed my trip, and I didn't return until today."

General Lan said solemnly: "This is not an imperial order, but your personal decision. It is not appropriate to do this. If you are held accountable, deserting your post is a crime."

"Grandfather, rest assured. Your grandson has been guarding the border in the northern border for many years. Although I have not made great achievements, I have done my best. The court should understand."

"Don't mention that."

General Lan waved his hand and said, "Since you are back, you should spend the New Year well before going back. Xiaowei has been taking care of the family for a long time. It's hard for her. Tomorrow is the second day of the New Year. You should accompany her to visit her parents' home."

"Yes, father."

When Princess Jiang Xue learned that Lan Feng had suddenly returned to the capital, she immediately ordered: "Tell the public that I appreciate General Lan's hard work and specially summoned him back to celebrate the New Year."

In order to prevent the accusation of desertion from affecting his reputation, she issued this decree.

"Princess, General Lan doesn't seem like someone who would leave his post without permission. There may be some hidden secret." said a subordinate.

"Maybe."

The next morning, Lan Feng accompanied Jiang Xiaowei back to her mother's home, the Jiang Mansion.

The father-in-law and mother-in-law were very satisfied with the son-in-law and entertained them warmly.

After the greetings, Lan Feng asked, "Why don't you meet Third Brother? I have something to say to him."

Jiang Xiaowei looked at her husband in surprise, because he didn't have much contact with Jiang Xiaoan.

But on second thought, this return to Beijing is indeed unusual, and the third brother is a famous doctor, could it be...

Father Jiang said lightly, "He is researching medicinal herbs in his own yard.

I have sent someone to call him. He said he is preparing medicine for *** and will be out soon. If there is anything important, you can let Xiaowei take you to find him. "

Lan Feng agreed with a smile: "Then I will take my leave first and come back later. Please forgive me, father-in-law."

"We are a family, no need to be so polite."

Father Jiang smiled and said, "Xiaowei, take him to find Xiaoan, and come together after the talk. The kitchen just bought fresh venison, which is perfect for warming up with the wine."

"Yes, father."

Jiang Xiaowei led Lan Feng to Jiang Xiaoan's yard and couldn't help asking, "Husband, you are looking for my third brother. Is there something wrong with your body?"

"No."

Lan Feng said frankly: "I just wanted to ask him about Xiao Zhan because I knew he was good friends with him."

A thought suddenly popped up in Jiang Xiaowei's mind: "Are you coming back this time because of Changle?"

She remembered that he had promised to protect Jiang Xue like a brother, so when she heard the news that Xiao Zhan had taken a concubine, she hurried back to find out the truth of the matter.

"Not really."

Lan Feng explained: "Xiao Wei, I have been guarding the border for many years and I haven't celebrated the New Year at home for a long time.

This time I came back, I hope to spend this holiday with my grandparents, parents and you. "

Jiang Xiao smiled slightly. Even though he came back mainly for Jiang Xue, the fact that he was willing to consider spending the holidays with her made her feel extremely relieved.

When I walked into Jiang Xiaoan’s courtyard, I saw him concentrating on preparing medicinal herbs.

He had promised to do his best to take care of Jiang Xue's health, but since he followed them to southern Xinjiang and was busy dealing with Madam Feng's illness, he was only able to concentrate on developing suitable medicine for her until now.

"Third brother!" Jiang Xiaowei called out.

Jiang Xiaoan turned around, a little surprised: "General Lan, Xiaowei, why are you here?"

"My husband wants to see you about something." Jiang Xiaowei said directly.

Jiang Xiaoan immediately became nervous: "Who is sick?"

"No one is sick." Lan Feng clarified.

"Since no one is sick, why are you looking for me? Although you are my brother-in-law, we are indeed not very familiar with each other."

Jiang Xiaoan has had a close relationship with Jiang Xiaowei since childhood. He was always somewhat dissatisfied with Jiang Xiaowei's choice to marry Lan Feng, who was in love with someone else, and there was a hint of displeasure in his tone.

"We are indeed not very familiar with each other, but as long as you understand Xiao Zhan, it's fine."

Lan Feng glanced at Jiang Xiaowei and said, "Xiaowei, I want to talk to your third brother alone."

Jiang Xiaowei nodded in understanding and left the room, leaving the two of them alone.

Jiang Xiaoan sneered: "What secrets do you have that you have to send Xiaowei away?"

"Third brother, I heard that the new concubine is pregnant. Did you diagnose this?" Lan Feng asked.

"So what?"

Lan Feng took a few steps closer and asked, "Is she really pregnant?"

When Lan Feng first heard the news that Xiao Zhan was taking a concubine, he didn't care, thinking it was just another trick of Xiao Zhan.

After all, Xiao Zhan had assured him many times of his deep affection for Jiang Xue.

But as word spread that the concubine was pregnant, Lan Feng began to question whether this was Xiao Zhan's true betrayal of Jiang Xue.

Jiang Xue's smile was always filled with love for Xiao Zhan, which made Lan Feng even more worried that she might get hurt.

In order to clarify the facts, he decided to return to the capital to investigate the truth.

If it was a misunderstanding, that would be the best; if not, he was determined not to let Xiao Zhan escape responsibility easily. He knew that if Jiang Chen was still alive, he would take the same action.
