After Jiang Wanqing finished speaking, Jiang Lingyi looked at Jiang Wanqing suspiciously.

He originally wanted to explain those things to his father.

It’s just that Jiang Wanqing’s interruption was a little too deliberate.

Doesn’t sister want him to tell dad the truth?

But Jiang Wanqing just shook his head at him.

Jiang Lingyi pursed her lips and said no more.

The Duke of Zhenguo was silent for a long time.

Playing with the willow leaf jade pendant in his hand.

Suddenly laughed out loud.

He then handed the willow leaf jade pendant in his hand to Jiang Wanqing.

There was a rather complicated expression in his eyes.

He said, “I know you all have your own plans, but I’m glad that you brothers and sisters are connected. I respect your decision, and I’m old now, and I can’t care so much.

Since I gave you this willow leaf jade pendant as a gift, there is no reason to take it back. You have been involved in so many things now, and it would not be enough if you don’t have some people in your hands.”

Jiang Wanqing opened her lips and said, "But the safety of you and mother is equally important. Leaving the dead warriors to you is even more important."

When the Duke of Zhenguo heard this, he shook his head.

He explained with a smile: "Leaving them to you will be of greater use, right? I've wanted to say this for a long time. Why did those people who were guarding the food and grass last time look so familiar? I still have your elder brother in this mansion."

After saying this, the Duke Zhenguo turned his gaze towards Jiang Lingyi and Jiang Ao.

He asked, "I'm going to give the willow leaf jade pendant to Wan Qing. Do you have any objections? Apart from the two of you, the other rascals are not in any danger as they have no connection with the imperial court. I won't ask for their opinions."

At this moment, Jiang Wushang, who was not far away, sneezed secretly.

Jiang Lingyi and Jiang Ao looked at each other.

They said in unison: "No objection."

Jiang Lingyi then looked at Jiang Wanqing again and advised, "Father will still live with me in the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, and those people will not be too presumptuous in public.

Besides, he has been a young master for so many times, how could he really not have anyone to use?"

After saying that, Jiang Lingyi glanced at Mo Yu who was bandaging his wound.

Jiang Wanqing remembered that Mo Yu and some of the guards in the mansion were the people given to her by her eldest brother.

Mo Yu was not in bad shape and was also proficient in medicine.

I think there are still some capable people around my brother.

Thinking of this, Jiang Wanqing turned her gaze to Jiang Ao again.

Jiang Ao put his hands behind his head and curled his lips: "Don't look at me, my brother doesn't need those three thousand dead soldiers, and I don't need them either.

I am a general, a general holding a sword. I don't need anyone to protect me. Besides, even if I need to, there are still hundreds of thousands of soldiers in the border town.

"Sister, you should keep this willow leaf jade pendant. You really need help now. If you have someone to protect you, we can breathe a sigh of relief."

The Duke of Zhenguo also had a sullen face: "Do you want us to beg you to accept it? Girl, you really don't give your father any face at all!

Besides, even if you don't think about yourself, what about Xiaoxiao? Xiaoxiao is now the golden nugget of our Zhenguogong Mansion!"

Hearing this, Jiang Wanqing stopped refusing.

He took the willow leaf jade pendant from the Duke of Zhenguo.

He opened his mouth and said, "In that case, I'll take it."

Jiang Wanqing also secretly swore in her heart that this time, she must protect her family!

It was at this time that Mo Yu also bandaged his wound.

Suddenly someone pushed the door.

Jiang Wanqing glanced at the Duke of Zhenguo and saw that he had treated his injuries before she walked to the door and opened it.

Upon closer look, it turned out that Jiang Wushang had returned.

Jiang Wanqing asked, "Third brother is back so soon?"

Jiang Wushang nodded: "Yes, I have sent those doctors away."

Then, Jiang Wushang came in front of the Duke of Zhenguo and took a look at him.

"Father, how are you?"

The Duke of Zhenguo smiled and said, "It's much better now."

Jiang Wanqing exchanged glances with his elder and second brothers.

He patted Jiang Wushang on the shoulder and said, "Third brother, I'll leave father to you to take care of. Let's go out for some fresh air. Later, the eldest and second brothers will take turns with you to take care of dad."

Jiang Wushang had no objection.

He nodded and said, "Okay, Dad, just leave it to me."

Jiang Wanqing, Jiang Lingyi and Jiang Ao left the room.

Mo Yu also took the small package with him and took it out.

In that small package were hidden the blood-stained clothes and gauze that the Duke of Zhenguo had just changed.

Jiang Wanqing and others came to Jiang Lingyi's study.

And Mo Yu was guarding the door.

Jiang Lingyi sat in the seat at the top of the study.

Jiang Wanqing sat down politely.

Jiang Ao, on the other hand, leaned against a pillar with his arms folded across his chest.

The three people have different thoughts.

Jiang Wanqing was the first to speak: "Dad is old and ready to retire. There are some things that he doesn't need to know, let alone the emperor's calculations, otherwise, it will chill Dad's heart.

As for the third, fourth, fifth and sixth brothers, none of them have ever interfered in the affairs of the court. They don't need to know about these things now. After all, at present, things are still under our control."

Jiang Ao shrugged: "I have no objection. Anyway, Dad said that you are smarter than me, so I will naturally listen to you."

Jiang Lingyi also nodded and agreed: "Of course, the fewer people who know about these things, the better. If the day really comes when it becomes a last resort, it's okay for them to know."

The three of them looked serious.

Jiang Wanqing pursed her lips and said, "Although there is no substantial evidence that His Majesty is suspicious of the Duke of Zhenguo Mansion, one thing after another now shows that he can't escape suspicion of the Duke of Zhenguo Mansion, and he even wants to take action against the Duke of Zhenguo Mansion.

One is to attack the offspring of my eldest brother and his wife. The second is that I don't think His Royal Highness Prince Cheng'an would dare to do such a serious thing as burning military rations without the approval of the emperor.

And His Royal Highness Prince Cheng'an has completely confronted our Duke Zhenguo Mansion.

In fact, now that I think about it, when Zhou Zigu was still alive, his words and deeds seemed to indicate that he wanted the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion to stand on the side of His Royal Highness Prince Cheng'an.

However, at that time I only said that the Duke of Zhenguo Mansion has always been loyal to His Majesty, and I think in their eyes, it meant rejection."

Jiang Ao heard it and reacted belatedly.

His expression changed slightly, and he raised his voice: "What do you mean by attacking the offspring of my eldest brother and his wife?"

Jiang Lingyi's expression turned colder: "For so many years, Yinyin and I have no children, because the gift from the emperor contains something extremely cold, so... it is difficult to get pregnant.

If my younger sister hadn’t discovered it, I would have never had the chance to have children in this lifetime…”

At the end, Jiang Lingyi's tone became a little heavy.
