Jiang Fenghua hurriedly went to greet them, "Second sister, second brother-in-law, you are here, where are the children?"

Jiang Rumeng said, "As soon as I entered the door, I went to look for their uncle. The housekeeper said you were busy in the kitchen."

Jin Ji came with a bunch of gifts, "I'm going to go see my parents first, you guys chat first..."

Jiang Fenghua stopped him and said, "Brother-in-law, let's go to the living room to talk. Don't disturb my parents. My father is performing his special skills for my mother."

As soon as she finished speaking, Jiang Huai suddenly appeared with a book in his hand, "What bad things are you saying about your father again?"

"No! I just said that Dad likes reading."

Then he walked up to the third daughter and pretended to be calm, "Don't keep talking nonsense in front of your sister-in-law. Your mother is busy all the time and she doesn't even know how to help. You're just waiting for a meal!"

Zhang Yumo was like a frightened bird and quickly said, "I'll go now."

She tried to go into the kitchen but was stopped by Feng Jingyuan. Feng Jingyuan immediately changed her gentle attitude and raised her voice, "Mr. Jiang, who are you trying to scare? You are helping. There are many people standing in the kitchen. You are pretending with a tattered book. The book is stained with the oil on your hands. Do you think the children don't know what you were doing in the kitchen just now?"

"Am I helping you?"

"Isn't it your duty to help me? Come in and serve the dishes." Feng Jingyuan gave the order directly.

Zhang Yumo was about to go in again, but Feng Jingyuan grabbed her hand and said, "Let the men serve it, and we'll just wait for our free meal." The old man had read too many books and could hardly speak.

As a son-in-law, Jin Ji knew his mother-in-law's temper best. He was the first to go into the kitchen, and Jiang Huai was also ready to go.

Now he realized that he had said the wrong thing. He was actually joking with the third daughter and had not considered that there was a new daughter-in-law in the family. He said, "First daughter-in-law, I'm not saying that you are eating free meals. It's the third girl who is the best at eating free meals."

Zhang Yumo blushed, feeling even more embarrassed. "It's rare for Third Sister to come back, how come she's just eating for free?"

"This..." Jiang Huai was stunned.

Jiang Fenghua laughed, "So Master Jiang also has times of distress! See, when you scold me, you don't even think before you scold me, and now you're making things worse! Dad, are you scolding your daughter or your sister-in-law? Your sister-in-law is your brother's wife now, and the inkstone in your study was bought by your brother. If you dare to scold his wife, your brother will definitely not buy you one in the future, he's a protective child."

For a moment, Jiang Huai's face looked a little embarrassed. He shouldn't have spoken. Then he threw the book in his hand to Jiang Fenghua and went into the kitchen.

The second girl also laughed and said, "Dad has never defeated the third sister once."

Zhang Yumo had never seen Master Jiang suffer a loss. The Jiang family was truly a happy family. Master Jiang was much cuter than he was in school. Who would have thought that when he returned home, he would be so controlled by his wife and daughter.

Feng Jingyuan also thought of Zhang Yumo's orphanage, so she wanted to give her some warmth. "It's okay, Master Jiang is used to it. It's his fault. You should reason with him at home in the future. Scholars love reasoning the most."

Zhang Yumo felt warm in her heart.

Jiang Fenghua deliberately leaned on Jiang Rumeng, "Second sister, now that mother has a daughter-in-law, she no longer has a daughter in her eyes, alas!"

Feng Jingyuan tapped her forehead and said, "Oh, my sincerity has been wasted on that ungrateful person."

At this moment, the housekeeper shouted happily from a distance: "Master, Madam, look who's back."

Jiang Huai and Jin Ji also came out with plates in their hands, and he glanced at them.

Soon, Jiang Jinyan, dressed in military uniform, strode in with a smile on his face, "Dad, Mom, second sister, third sister, brother-in-law, I'm back."

Father Jiang's eyes were filled with relief, "I'm glad you're back."

Jiang's mother's eyes were filled with tears. "Finally, you're back."

Jiang Rumeng was happy to see him return safely, but her eyes were full of disgust, "Is he still our big brother? How did big brother become like this? How come he has an untidy beard after not seeing him for a few months?"

Jiang Fenghua unconsciously glanced behind him and said, "Brother came back alone."

Jiang Jinyan explained, "When I came back, the prince was still recovering in the military camp. He should be on his way back now. He was seriously injured in the last battle. Ruan Ruan, don't worry. His life is not in danger. There are military doctors taking care of him. The prince didn't report the news of his injury back to Shengjing because he was afraid that you would worry."

"That's good." Jiang Fenghua asked again, "Su Tingwan went to the frontier. Did she see the prince?"

"The battle was dangerous, and we didn't see Concubine Su."

Jiang Jinyan was the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. His task was to dispatch supplies. He was not with Prince Heng every day. However, the last time he saw Prince Heng, Concubine Su was not by his side.

He came back early with other logistics officials. Everyone wanted to return to Shengjing before the Lantern Festival.

Jiang Fenghua thought to himself that Lin Yu had also sent a message saying that they had lost the person, but she had indeed gone to the border.

Jiang's mother naturally didn't know Jiang Fenghua's plan, and quickly pushed Zhang Yumo in front of Jiang Jinyan, "You didn't even tell us you had come back, leaving us unprepared. Did you forget about your wife?"

Zhang Yumo's face turned slightly red. She had never seen a man as sturdy as Jiang Jinyan. Her eyes were wide open and she almost didn't recognize him.

Jiang Jinyan was still a little embarrassed, and a smile appeared on the corner of his lips, "I'm back."

"Well, I'm glad you're back." In front of the whole family, she looked like a little wife, embarrassed, with red eyes, as if she was about to cry.

Seeing this, Jiang Rumeng pushed her with Lian Xin, "Oh, I've never seen big brother so sloppy before, take him back home to wash up before coming out to eat, I really can't eat in front of Jiang Jinyan like this."

After saying that, she took Jiang Fenghua and Jiang's mother away. Jiang's father and Jin Ji also tactfully followed them.

Zhang Yumo was also caught off guard and was pushed directly into Jiang Jinyan's chest. The armor on his body hurt her. Jiang Jinyan could be considered to have made a great contribution. He was waiting for orders from Prince Heng, so he naturally had armor to protect him.

Jiang Jinyan also heard her muffled pain and quickly protected her with his hands, "I hope I didn't hurt you!"

"No." She stood up straight.

He said, "I'll go back to my room and change first, you go to the dining room with them..."

Zhang Yumo stared at him with her watery eyes, "Now that her husband has returned, how can a wife just abandon him and ignore him? If I do this, how can I live in the Jiang family in the future?" Besides, doesn't he miss her?

"I was inconsiderate. Let's go!" Jiang Jinyan said politely. He hadn't taken a shower for a month and his body was smelly and dirty. He didn't want Zhang Yumo to know how sloppy he looked. It was really inconvenient to take a shower in the middle of winter and he was busy on the battlefield and had no time to think about anything else.

Just as Jiang Jinyan walked in front, Zhang Yumo suddenly stepped forward and held his hand. She felt that his palms were rough and covered with calluses. He must have had a hard time in the past few months!

Jiang Jinyan was stunned for a moment, but did not let go of her hand. Instead, he held it tighter.

He held her hand and walked through the corridor, and she followed carefully.
