Jiang Dahai didn't know how to treat his daughter. After a while of thinking, he finally said, "It's getting late. Yiyi, go back to your room and get some rest. We'll talk about your mother tomorrow."

He knew that Zhao didn't like Jiang Qingyi, so he subconsciously avoided the two of them meeting.

Jiang Qingyi thought so too, so she nodded and went to the next room.

Jiang Dahai had just returned to the room when Zhao saw him coming back and asked, "What did Dad and Mom go to see Big Brother for? Why did they call you over as well? Did your second brother and the others go too?"

Jiang Dahai said as he took off his clothes, "From now on, my parents won't live on the farm anymore. They will live with my eldest brother and his family. The three of us will just give them some food and money every year to support them in their old age."

Zhao was originally leaning on her side to coax the two children to sleep. When she heard this, she stopped what she was doing, turned over and sat up, frowning and asked, "What if they don't live in the manor and get married to that girl?"

Jiang Dahai sat at the table and drank a bowl of cold water. "You are the child's biological mother after all. Don't always call her that girl. Yiyi hasn't got married yet. We can't let her live alone in the farm. She sent her parents to eldest brother's house today, so I brought her back on the way."

"Why didn't you discuss such an important matter with me!" Zhao raised her voice a little, but was afraid of disturbing the two children sleeping beside her, so she whispered, "Why did you bring the person back directly without discussing it with me!" She spoke very quickly, and one could hear some anger in her voice.

Jiang Dahai said as a matter of course, "Yi Yi is our biological daughter. We can't ask big brother to help raise her. Even if you are shameless, I still want her. Her parents are not dead!"

Hearing this, Zhao couldn't say anything to refute. After all, no one in this world is willing to raise someone else's child except for adoption.

Zhao didn't want to live under the same roof with Jiang Qingyi, so she asked desperately, "The girl will live with us? Is there no other way?"

Jiang Dahai nodded without saying anything, walked over, lifted the quilt, crawled in, closed his eyes and began to sleep.

Zhao tossed and turned until midnight because of Jiang Qingyi's return home.

Jiang Qingyi practiced in the space for a night.

When she came out of the house the next morning, she thought she would find it hard to accept, but she found that she didn't feel any fluctuations at all. It seemed that she could live here peacefully for the time being.

As for what Zhao thought, she didn't want to care too much.

Because of her practice, Jiang Qingyi is used to getting up early.

When she came out of the room, the maid Ah Chun also came out of the room. Ah Chun was a little surprised to see the expression on Jiang Qingyi's face, but she still walked up to ask, "Miss, you are up now, do you want to wash up first?"

Jiang Qingyi waved her hand, "Don't worry about me, just go and do your own thing!"

Ah Chun nodded and went to the kitchen.

During breakfast, Zhao inevitably ran into Jiang Qingyi. She didn't look very happy, with a sour face, and said to Jiang Qingyi in a stiff voice, "Are you back? If you are back, stay here."

Jiang Qingyi called out indifferently, "Mother."

A Yuan and Wan Wan called each other "Sister" in a very intimate way.

Xiaojie was old enough to go to school, and was sent to academy by Jiang Dahai, so he was not at home.

After breakfast, everyone went about their own business.

Jiang Dahai opened a braised food shop and went out after breakfast. The shop he opened had a small courtyard and a well, and he also hired people to help with cleaning the sewage.

Zhao stayed at home to take care of the two children, and with the help of two maids, her life was relatively easy.

That day, the emperor sent someone to invite her into the palace.

In the past few years, Jiang Qingyi had no contact with the emperor except for the exchange of goods. She couldn't understand what the emperor asked her to do.

But she just regarded it as a change from her dull life, and followed Eunuch Wang into the carriage without a second thought.

Not long after entering the palace, Eunuch Wang took Jiang Qingyi to the imperial study.

The emperor was stunned for a moment when he saw Jiang Qingyi. He did not expect that this girl Jiang would be so stunningly beautiful when she grew up. However, he quickly reacted and asked someone to bring a stool for Jiang Qingyi.

After Jiang Qingyi sat down, the emperor asked, "Miss Jiang, do you know why I asked you to come?"

Jiang Qingyi shook her head, "Your Majesty, just speak frankly."

"In the northwest, a city appeared faintly at the border between Dayue and Dawu. Spies came to report that many people in the city seemed to have appeared out of thin air."

Jiang Qingyi suddenly remembered what Sikong Li had said about the barrier of Nan Jing. Now it sounded like the barrier was broken and the things inside were revealed.

"What does the Emperor want?"

"If I'm not mistaken, that place should be Nan Jing. Its sudden appearance will definitely cause a stir in all parties, not to mention that some of them are in Dayue. People in the world are looking for Nan Jing, hoping to cultivate to become immortals. Now that the Nan Jing they are looking for has appeared, it will definitely cause chaos. If the people of Nan Jing are really willing to pass on this method of cultivating immortals to the world, the world will be in chaos. I... have to be on guard."

Jiang Qingyi has learned a lot about cultivation from the system through completing tasks over the years. She chuckled and said, "Your Majesty should not worry about the world, but those who have real cultivation skills from Nanjing."

"That being said, I can't help but worry in my heart! Now that Nan Jing has appeared in the world, I wonder what Miss Jiang's plans are?"

"Me? What can I plan? We are far apart anyway, and this Nan Jing has nothing to do with me."

"I won't beat around the bush with Miss Jiang. My original intention was to ask Miss Jiang to go on a trip and represent the Dayue royal family to see what Nan Jing meant." The emperor was so anxious that he didn't even care about his own name.

Jiang Qingyi asked without thinking, "Benefits?"

"What does Miss Jiang want?" The emperor asked immediately when he heard that there was hope.

Jiang Qingyi thought about it and felt like she didn't lack anything, so she said, "Not at the moment, I'll owe you the money first and I'll come back to you when I need it."

The emperor asked excitedly, "Miss Jiang, do you agree?"

Jiang Qingyi nodded, "It's true that we can go there."

"I will have someone arrange everything for the trip, and send a team to protect Miss Jiang."

Jiang Qingyi waved her hand, "No, I can go by myself. Just give me something to prove Dayue's identity."

The emperor hesitated for a moment and then agreed, then asked, "When does Miss Jiang plan to leave?"

"Tomorrow morning. But why do you want me to go? Your ancestor is very powerful. He is also a member of your royal family. Isn't he more suitable than me?"

The emperor smiled bitterly, "If I could contact the ancestor, I wouldn't think of bothering Miss Jiang."

Jiang Qingyi nodded in understanding.

Before leaving, the emperor gave her a jade pendant of fine quality, saying it was something that could represent the big moon.

At the dinner table that night, Jiang Qingyi suddenly said, "Dad, I need to go out for a while."

Zhao looked at her without saying anything and continued eating.

Jiang Dahai asked, "Where are we going?"

"The emperor has given me a mission, but I can't tell you where I'm going."
