"The Emperor, in compliance with the Will of Heaven, proclaims: Madam Jiang of the Marquis of Chengping is a woman of virtuous manners, gentle and virtuous, and has two sons and a daughter, all of whom are pillars of the country. I hereby confer upon Madam Jiang the title of First-Rank Lady of Imperial Edict, and grant her ten sets of precious jewels, a pair of jadeite ingots of fortune, prosperity, longevity, and happiness, ten sets of silk, and a thousand taels of gold and silver. I decree this!"

The eunuch read the imperial edict of enthronement loudly, and after Mrs. Jiang received the edict, she hurriedly helped her up.

"Madam, the Queen Mother has always been thinking of you." The eunuch said respectfully.

This woman is the mother of the current queen and has a noble status that is not comparable to that of an ordinary lady with an imperial title.

Jiang smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work, eunuch. I will go to the palace to see the Queen Mother in a few days."

Come to think of it, she hadn't seen her daughter for some time, so she should tell her about her plan.

After sending the eunuch away, Jiang sent her two sons to Helinyuan.

After Su Qingwan got married, she still lived in this courtyard. After all, she was used to it and was too lazy to move around.

"Mother, you are so serious, but what's the matter?" Su Yuewen asked respectfully.

Su Yuewu also looked at her with burning eyes, not understanding why his mother asked them brothers to come over.

"It's like this, Mom wants to go back to Mo Nan to take a look. She has been away for so many years, and I want to go back and live there for a while."

This idea had been lingering in Jiang's mind, but she had never brought it up before because she was worried about the trivial matters in the Marquis' Mansion. But now she has nothing to worry about.

Her three children were all very good and she didn't need to worry about anything anymore. As for the household affairs of the Marquis' Mansion, she had already handed over the management of the household to her daughter-in-law Chen Yingying after she got married. She only looked after them occasionally.

Judging from the current situation, Chen Yingying is doing a very good job. All the affairs of the Marquis' Mansion are in order and he doesn't need to worry about anything at all, so he can rest assured if she leaves the capital.

Su Yuewen and Su Yuewu looked at each other. Neither of them had any reason to stop their mother from returning to Mo Nan, but Su Yuewen still said:

"If mother wants to go back to Mo Nan to take a look, of course you can, but you have to tell my sister about this so that she won't worry."

"I know that. I will tell her when I meet her in the palace in two days."

Sure enough, after Jiang entered the palace, she told Su Qingwan about her plan.

"Of course, if Mom wants to go back, she can, but she has to be well prepared. After all, Mo Nan is far from the capital."

Su Qingwan didn't want to stop Jiang. After all, Jiang was not even forty years old, and it would be good for her to go out for a walk.

"Okay, Mom will prepare it well, don't worry!" Jiang was very happy to get her daughter's consent.

She was the old lady of the Marquis's Mansion. She only needed to say a word and someone would prepare everything for her. Su Qingwan also arranged for someone to escort Jiang.

So on the third day after leaving the palace, Jiang got on a carriage leaving the capital, and Aunt Rong and the Zhao family's maid also followed her back. They had relatives still in Mo'nan, so they had to go back to visit them.

……

In a mountain village on Qifeng Mountain, several people were half-dead and dozing on the table.

Suddenly someone came in and shouted, "Someone's here! Six carriages!"

"Really?" A bald man stood up suddenly, his triangular eyes rolling around.

"Third Master, of course it's true. The carriage will enter the Seven Peaks Mountain territory in just a few miles. This ticket is a big deal! We can't miss it!"

"You're right. We really can't miss it."

They had been closed for a month and finally some good stuff was delivered to their door.

In the carriage, Jiang felt a little dizzy and very uncomfortable. She thought that she might have eaten something unclean, or perhaps the tea in the last teahouse where she stopped was not clean.

"Madam, you can buy medicine once you enter Qifeng Town." Aunt Rong held Jiang in her arms with concern.

She was also feeling a little uncomfortable, but much better than Jiang. Aunt Zhao was sitting in the back car and was said to be vomiting a lot.

The carriage swayed forward, but soon stopped.

"Ma'am, there is a broken log blocking the road ahead. We have to move it away before we can go."

The person in front came back and said.

"Then move it out of the way. It's just right for me to get off the car and take a rest."

Jiang felt uncomfortable, so she got off the carriage and sat down on the side of the road to rest.

Unexpectedly, just as he sat down, a burst of shouting and killing was heard.

"Oh no! It's bandits!"

Someone shouted.

Aunt Rong hurriedly protected Jiang and asked her to hide. The old woman from the Zhao family also ran over to help, but before she could run a few steps, a piece of wood fell from the mountain and hit her.

"careful!"

Aunt Rong hurried forward and hugged the old woman from the Zhao family. The two of them jumped together and the rolling log slid past their fallen feet.

"Mrs. Protector!"

Several maids who knew martial arts rushed over together.

"Come on!"

Weapons clashed, screams were heard, and the two sides started fighting.

Aunt Rong hurriedly got up and protected Jiang again, but suddenly there was a sound of horse hooves behind her, and a dozen big men holding sledgehammers came with a whistling sound, and several maids were swept away. In a blink of an eye, Aunt Rong and Jiang were surrounded, and countless hammers smashed towards Aunt Rong.

"clang clang"

Although Aunt Rong had the iron palm leaf fan on her body, her hands could not resist so many attacks, and she was at a disadvantage for a moment. Before Aunt Rong could turn around, she was swept away. When she looked again, Jiang had been taken away by the people on horseback.

"Hahaha, I didn't expect to find such a pretty woman. I can bring her back to be my 47th concubine!"

"Madam, Madam!" Aunt Rong was so frightened that she quickly got up and wanted to chase after her, but her feet were entangled in the iron chain and she fell down.

"Go and save the lady quickly, she has been kidnapped." She cried anxiously.

But at this time, the people who kidnapped the lady had already ridden away on horseback, and their men were entangled by the bandits and could not spare any manpower.

At this moment, on the cliff, a tall and slender figure let out a soft click, moved, and chased after him.

Jiang was laid horizontally on the horse's back, and felt as if his head was about to explode, but he kept yelling:

"You bold lunatic, put me down immediately! You are committing a serious crime."

"Hahaha, who are you kidding? I have never seen an old lady as young as you. After you accompany me tonight, I will let you be my 47th lady."

Jiang was extremely angry. If she had known they would encounter robbers, she should not have let the people arranged by Qingwan return to Beijing. But who could have thought that they would encounter bandits just one day before entering the Mo'nan territory?

Could it be that I really shouldn't have come back so rashly?

She regretted it deeply at this moment. If she was really kidnapped by this man and taken back to the village, she would have no choice but to die.

But just as she was thinking about how she was going to die, the man who was escorting her suddenly fell off his horse, and then a figure floated onto the horse.

"Ma'am, are you okay?"

The man pulled the reins and stopped the horse.

He helped Jiang down from the horse, but her legs were so weak that she could not stand at all. As soon as her feet touched the ground, she was about to fall down, but was supported by the man.

She looked up and saw a handsome man in front of her with a clear mind. He looked to be in his early thirties, even more handsome and free-spirited than Su Zhiru was back then.

"Thank you for your help, sir. Could you please leave your name? I will repay you for saving my life in the future."

Jiang bowed politely, feeling extremely lucky that he was rescued today, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.

"No need to repay me. My name is Xu Wuya. Why don't I send you back first so that they won't worry." Wuya said with a smile.

He had already seen the robbery by the bandits, so he caught up with Jiang in time and rescued him.

"Okay!" Jiang was also worried about Aunt Rong and the others, so she had to rush back as soon as possible.

only……

She can't ride a horse.

Wu Ya saw it, so he simply jumped on the horse's back, pulled Jiang up with him, and said naturally:

"Ma'am, I didn't mean to offend you, please forgive me."

Jiang's cheeks flushed red. She didn't expect Wu Ya to pull her directly to sit on the horse. Now she was held in his arms. She seemed to smell the fresh breath on his body. She was so anxious that she wanted to get off the horse.

But Wu Ya had already whipped the horse on its butt, and the horse immediately ran back the way it came.

Jiang was careless and fell directly into Wuya's arms. She was so embarrassed that she tried to steady herself, but it was not so easy to keep steady on horseback. Fortunately, she did not run far and finally saw the person who was chasing her.

"Madam, are you okay?" Aunt Rong and the old woman from the Zhao family were so scared that they lost their souls. If something happened to Madam when they returned to Mo Nan this time, how could they have the face to see the Jiang family, let alone the Queen.

"I'm fine! Thanks to Mr. Wu Ya's generosity and rescue, I was able to return safely. Where are the others?"

Jiang hurriedly got off the horse. She couldn't get off by herself, fortunately Wuya helped her.

Aunt Rong wiped away her tears. At this moment, she didn't have time to pay attention to whether the relationship between the lady and the man was in accordance with etiquette. After all, life was the most important thing.

"There were many casualties, and a lot of our stuff was stolen."

Jiang's face turned pale instantly and tears flowed uncontrollably. If she had known it would be like this, she would not have returned to Mo Nan.

Wu Ya looked at these people. Many of them were injured. If they just left like this, they would probably be targeted again before they could go far.

"Where are you going? If it's close, I can give you a ride." Wu Ya said.

"Master Wuya, let's go to Mo Nan."

When Jiang heard that he was willing to give her and the others a ride, her anxious heart finally settled down a little.

"Okay, we shouldn't stay here for long. Let's get going. Let's go to the town ahead to rest."

Everyone set off at once. Three carriages were stolen, but fortunately there were three left, which were all given to the injured.

Jiang wanted to walk, but Wu Ya saw that she was walking with one foot deep and one foot shallow, and guessed that she was a noble lady from an aristocratic family and had probably never walked on such a road, so he let her ride on the horse.

Jiang thought that the two of them were going to ride together again, but Wu Ya explained, "Before, I was in a hurry to get back, so I rashly rode on the same horse with Madam. Now riding together, I am afraid it will tarnish Madam's reputation and make your master unhappy, which will be troublesome."

"Mr. Wuya has been thoughtful, but my husband and I have been divorced for many years. It doesn't matter whether he misunderstood or not." Jiang said softly.

When she was kidnapped by the thief before, she thought of her children but didn't think of Su Zhiru. It seemed that she had really dug this person out of her heart.

that's nice!

Wu Ya was surprised. He didn't expect that Mrs. Jiang had divorced long ago. But it was better this way, so as to avoid misunderstanding.

That night, the group stayed at an inn in the town.

Wu Ya wrote a letter and sent it by carrier pigeon. It was not good for his little niece and her emperor husband. Bandits had actually bred in this place. The government had to take action to deal with it.

Jiang was lying on the bed, feeling uneasy in her sleep, so she simply opened the window and looked outside.

Tomorrow I will be able to see my brothers. I am finally back.

The moon was bright and the stars were shining. She heard the sound of a flute. She looked down and found Wu Ya was playing the flute towards the moon. The sound was deep and seemed to tell endless stories.

Somehow, Jiang's heart was moved and she asked the waiter to bring some sake down.

Wu Ya saw the sake coming, and when he looked up, he saw Mrs. Jiang waving at him with the wine glass in her hand.

He laughed out loud, "Madam, why don't you come down and have a drink?"

Jiang didn't expect that she would really go downstairs. She sang to the moon all night, and what was life like!

When they arrived at the Jiang Mansion, Wu Ya blinked, feeling that this place looked somewhat familiar. Then he saw the door opened and a man with a beard walked out. As soon as he saw Jiang, tears welled up in his eyes.

"Sister, you are finally back. Where is Qingwan? Did she come back with you?"

Four middle-aged men walked towards us, each of them had a calm smile on their face and their eyes were red.

"Fifth sister, you miss your second brother so much."

"You are all so happy to see me, right? I am a lady of honor now. See you..."

"See..."

"Big brother, second brother, third brother, fourth brother, you are embarrassing me. We are all family, there is no need for those etiquettes."

The four brothers of the Jiang family excitedly grabbed their sister and looked behind her to see if their niece had returned.

Wu Ya, who was standing aside, now understood that this Jiang family was the same Jiang family he knew!

Then the woman he rescued along the way must be the mother of his junior nephew.

"She is in the palace now. She doesn't have time to come back. But she always asks you to go to Beijing to see her." Jiang was also wiping her tears excitedly.

The eldest brother of the Jiang family said a few words and finally saw Wu Ya. This person looked very familiar...

He pondered for a long time, then suddenly slapped his thigh and rushed to Wuya, "Qingwan's junior master, why are you here? But Qingwan asked you to escort her mother back?"

Jiang looked at Wuya in surprise. She naturally knew that her daughter had a junior uncle, but she didn't expect that it was Wuya.

The two looked at each other, both showing surprise.

The eldest brother of the Jiang family was very perceptive. He immediately noticed the abnormality between the two people and welcomed them into the house without any explanation.

After the banquet, Wu Ya was drunk and felt a little dizzy. When he woke up, he found a jade pendant in his hand. He vaguely remembered what happened last night.

"My sister has a miserable life! That bastard surnamed Su has treated her so badly. This time I must help my sister find an excellent man, but I don't know if those people will dislike her..."

"What do you dislike? I don't dislike her. She is beautiful and gentle, and I like her very much! If I could marry her, I would have no regrets in my life..."

Wu Ya covered his face. It turned out that one really couldn't drink too much of this wine!

"Brother-in-law, my brother-in-law! Are you awake?"

"Brother-in-law!"

"Brother, don't call people randomly. Yesterday, it was just a joke after drinking. Why did you take it seriously?" Jiang said anxiously.

When she heard what Wu Ya said yesterday, she had an indescribable feeling in her heart. They had known each other for such a short time, how could they reach the stage of discussing marriage? Wasn't her elder brother trying to scare her away by doing this?

"I am telling the truth. If you don't believe me, we can make a three-year agreement. But I am not as stupid as the emperor. I must follow you all the time... Oh, don't leave!"

Wu Ya opened the door hurriedly and said.

He was a man of temperament. He had learned about Su Qingwan's mother's past from her before. After meeting her this time, he found that she was very compatible with him and instantly had the idea of ​​starting a family.

Now that you have an idea, stick to it.

Jiang was extremely embarrassed, but no matter how fast she ran, she could not escape Wu Ya, who was skilled in martial arts, and in a blink of an eye she ran into his arms.

"Don't be like this. I'm already old. You can have better choices."

"Others have nothing to do with me. I only choose you! Don't worry, Qingwan will agree. If she disagrees, I will betray my master!"

"You...I..."

Jiang was speechless, she had never experienced such feelings before, it came too fast and too passionately, she was scared.

"You don't have to answer me now. You can take your time to think about it. I'm not in a hurry."

Wu Ya said this against his conscience, and decided in his heart that he would write a letter to Su Qingwan and ask her for help.

In the capital, Su Qingwan received two letters from Junior Master Uncle. One was about bandits, and the other was also about bandits. But this letter also said:

"Little nephew, call me dad from now on! Hahahaha..."

Arrogant...arrogant!

After reading the letter, Su Qingwan actually laughed. Her mother's happy event had to be known to her elder brother and younger brother.

The two brothers naturally would not stop it. Instead, they prepared a generous dowry for their mother. But the result was that Wu Ya wanted to marry into the family!
