Jiang Zheng's face was gloomy, and he suddenly looked up towards the entrance of the courtyard.

Two figures appeared in sight, a man and a woman.

Jiang Zheng recognized the woman. She was the little maid that Zhi Yuan brought with him when he returned to Jiangnan from the capital. It was said that she was the personal maid of Prince Lin and had followed him to Jiangnan.

As for that guy...

When Jiang Zheng's eyes fell on the handsome young man with a good temperament, he first frowned, and then his expression suddenly changed as if he recognized something.

A familiar face appeared in his sight. Although he had never seen it before, it looked so familiar. Every gesture reminded him of someone...

And when she saw that the maid who was supposed to be the personal maid of Prince Lin was now following the young man obediently.

Jiang Zheng suddenly realized something and the expression on his face instantly became very strange.

"What happened?!"

At this moment, outside the courtyard, Lin Jiangnian heard the commotion outside, so he got up and went out to check the situation.

As soon as I walked into the middle courtyard, I saw a strange and tense scene in front of me.

Under the pavilion corridor, Xu Lan and Xiao Lu stood at the bottom of the steps. Both seemed a little uneasy and cautious. They quietly stretched their necks to look at the scene in front of them.

In the pavilion, Jiang Yuxiang crossed her arms across her chest, with a sarcastic sneer on her naturally beautiful face, as if she was enjoying a good show.

Not far in front of Jiang Yuxiang, there appeared a middle-aged man.

He is probably less than fifty years old, with a calm aura, a square face, sharp features, and sharp eyes. He has the calm temperament of someone who has been in a high position for a long time.

Lin Jiangnian glanced at the middle-aged man for a moment and instantly recognized his identity... Jiang Zheng!

The current head of the Jiang family, Mr. Jiang’s eldest son!

He is also Lin Jiangnian’s nominal uncle!

Although they had never met before, Lin Jiangnian had seen him in a scroll.

At this moment, when the two looked at each other, Lin Jiangnian saw a hint of shock and astonishment in the other's eyes...

Obviously, the other party seemed to recognize his identity.

Seeing this, Lin Jiangnian walked forward slowly, stepped in front of Jiang Zheng, and bowed, "Uncle!"

It's quiet all around!

Lin Jiangnian's sudden call of "Uncle" seemed to break the silence in an instant, and Jiang Zheng suddenly came back to his senses from his shock.

Looking at the nephew in front of him who had an extraordinary appearance and a dignified bearing, Jiang Zheng was still somewhat dazed at the moment.

His nephew seemed to be different from what was described in the rumors.

And his appearance...

I don’t know what he was thinking about, but a strange look flashed in Jiang Zheng’s eyes.

Then, a look of joy appeared on his face: "It's Jiang Nian?!"

"When did you come to Chujiang City? Why didn't you notify us in advance?!"

Lin Jiangnian smiled and explained, "We just arrived today. This trip was rushed and my uncle was very busy, so I didn't bother him!"

"Very good!"

Lin Jiangnian spoke with a smile.

Although it was the first time that he met his so-called uncle, there seemed to be no estrangement between them. The current head of the Jiang family was not as unkind as rumored.

"That's great. The old man has been thinking about you for a long time. Now that you are here, it can be said that the old man can put his mind at ease!"

Jiang Zheng sighed.

And from the side, Jiang Yuxiang's sneer was heard again.

Jiang Zheng turned his head immediately: "Yuxiang, what are you laughing at?"

Jiang Yuxiang just smiled without saying anything, walked slowly to Lin Jiangnian's side, raised her eyes and glanced at him, her eyes full of disdain and sarcasm.

When Jiang Zheng saw this scene, he was slightly stunned, and then, how could he not realize something?

"Yuxiang, you're talking about... that man!"

Jiang Zheng showed a trace of astonishment on his face: "Are you talking about Jiang Nian?"

"Who else do you think it could be?"

Jiang Yuxiang asked back with a sneer.

Jiang Zheng suddenly fell silent.

Just now, when he learned that Yu Xiang brought a man back, he was extremely angry. But when he saw Lin Jiangnian appear, he instantly understood everything... No wonder Yu Xiang said that he didn't have the ability!

This, even if you have the ability, you can’t move it!

It seems to be a misunderstanding!

"What's going on?"

As if he noticed that the atmosphere between Jiang Yuxiang and Jiang Zheng was a little strange, as if they were confronting each other, Lin Jiangnian turned his head to look at Jiang Yuxiang beside him.

Jiang Yuxiang slightly raised her plain face, which was still stunning without any makeup, and said sarcastically, "Your good uncle said that you are the wild man I brought home!"

Lin Jiangnian understood something instantly. Seeing Jiang Zheng's embarrassed look, he immediately said, "Uncle, this is all a misunderstanding."

"My aunt is here to pick me up and take me back to the Jiang Residence today. I'm afraid someone who doesn't know the situation will see this and think it's a misunderstanding."

"I see."

Jiang Zheng nodded slightly. He realized that this was all a misunderstanding. Just as he was about to speak, he heard Jiang Yuxiang speak again: "Misunderstanding? I don't think so?!"

"Your good wife doesn't think so. She not only humiliated me, but also humiliated the prince of Lin."

As soon as these words came out, Jiang Zheng's expression changed slightly.

He suddenly thought of something...

I'm afraid my wife would really do such a thing.

No matter what, Lin Jiangnian in front of him is the prince of Lin Wang after all. Even if he has such a relationship with the Jiang family, after all, His Royal Highness is of noble status. I am afraid that today...

Thinking of this, Jiang Zheng's tone sank, and he looked at Lin Jiangnian, saying with a little guilt: "Yan'er is domineering and ignorant. If she offended me today, please don't blame me, Jiangnian..."

"Uncle, you are too kind!"

Lin Jiangnian waved his hands quickly: "Today's incident was originally a misunderstanding. We are all family, so why say such extra words."

Hearing this, Jiang Zheng was slightly startled, and looked at Lin Jiangnian with a little more appreciation in his eyes.

"Who is her family?!"

At this moment, Jiang Yuxiang's sneering voice was heard from the side.

"Yu Xiang?!"

Jiang Zheng frowned, thinking that his sister was too disobedient.

He is acting so nonsense and doesn't behave like an elder at all.

"Okay, Auntie, you should stop talking!"

Lin Jiangnian naturally guessed what happened today and tried to dissuade his aunt.

Hearing Lin Jiangnian's words, Jiang Yuxiang snorted and glared at him with some dissatisfaction: "You little bastard, you're still controlling me?!"

“I don’t dare!”

“That’s more like it!”

Jiang Yuxiang nodded in satisfaction, snorted, and said no more nonsense.

Jiang Zheng, who saw this scene, was also a little surprised. In the past, his sister was lawless at home, doing whatever she wanted, and no one could change her mind. But he didn't expect that his nephew could calm her down with just a few words.

"Jiang Nian has been traveling for days and just arrived at the Jiang family today. I'm afraid you must be tired. Why don't you stay here for a while and have a good rest. Your uncle will welcome you later!"

"Thank you very much, uncle."

Lin Jiangnian did not refuse and nodded.

After the two exchanged pleasantries, a servant came in, saying that the Jiang family had something urgent to deal with and that the head of the family needed to go and handle it. So Jiang Zheng stood up and said goodbye for the time being.

Afterwards, the courtyard became quiet and cold.

Lin Jiangnian turned around, only to see Jiang Yuxiang looking at him with a half-smile.

"You little brat, you're quite good at speaking polite words, aren't you?!"

Lin Jiangnian naturally knew what she was referring to, and immediately chuckled and said, "I'm speaking from the heart."

"I don't believe it!"

Jiang Yuxiang didn't believe it at all: "If you really care about the Jiang family, do I need to bring you back to the Jiang Mansion?"

Lin Jiangnian was not annoyed at all when his aunt exposed him. Instead, he said with emotion, "This uncle is not as unkind as the rumors say."

"Then you are wrong!"

Jiang Yuxiang glanced outside the courtyard: "He is much more unkind than you think!"

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"How can he be a good person if he can become the patriarch of the Jiang family and accept a family marriage to marry someone like Sun Yan? You haven't seen how cruel and ruthless he was when he killed people without a trace."

Listening to Jiang Yuxiang's complaints, Lin Jiangnian raised his eyebrows: "According to what you said, aunt, I have killed quite a few people."

"So, you are just like him, neither of you is a good person!"

Jiang Yuxiang glared at him unhappily, and when she looked at Lin Jiangnian's handsome face in front of her, she seemed to be thinking of something, and suddenly sighed softly.

"If you have any purpose for coming to the Jiang family this time, you must be careful and guard against him... He is not a good person!"

"Why do you say that?" Lin Jiangnian was stunned.

"He can be so kind to you not only because you are his nephew, but more importantly, you look a lot like your sister."

Lin Jiangnian looks very similar to the late Princess Lin. He inherited all of Princess Lin's looks and looks very similar.

Although Lin Jiangnian has not confirmed this, he has heard it from many people.

"Back then, your uncle doted on your sister. But at the same time, like the old man, he was against your sister marrying Lin Hengzhong..."

"So, he is kind to you only because of your relationship with your sister..."

Jiang Yuxiang looked at Lin Jiangnian, his expression gradually becoming serious: "But if you have any other purpose, you must be careful of him..."

"He is really not a good person!"

Lin Jiangnian remained silent.

Although Jiang Yuxiang cursed very dirty!

But I have to say, there is some truth to it.

"I'll pay attention."

Lin Jiangnian nodded.

"That's all right. You can do whatever you want."

Jiang Yuxiang retracted her gaze, and her tone immediately became relaxed again: "Do you want to go see the old man now?"

"Go ahead."

Lin Jiangnian thought about it and nodded. Since he was here, he had to meet him.

"Okay, then come with me."

Jiang Yuxiang turned and walked out of the yard.

Lin Jiangnian told Xu Lan and Xiaolu to stay here and asked Xiaozhu to take good care of them.

After Lin Jiangnian and Jiang Yuxiang left, the three people who were left looked at each other in bewilderment. Xiaolu excitedly ran to Xiaozhu and hugged her: "Xiaozhu, long time no see, I missed you so much!"

Xiao Zhu blushed slightly at Sister Xiao Lu's sudden enthusiasm: "Sister Xiao Lu."

Xiaolu excitedly pinched Xiaozhu's face with her hands. Looking at her cute face, she seemed to have thought of something and secretly came up to her and asked in a low voice.

"Xiao Zhu, you and His Highness were in the backyard just now... We haven't seen each other for half a year. Are there any sparks of passion? Let's touch each other quietly..."

Xiao Zhu's face instantly turned red: "No..."

"real?"

“…”

"Xiaozhu, please don't lie to me!"

“…”

"Why are you so red? Are you really lying to me? You must have done something with His Highness, right?"

“…”

"It's no use if you don't admit it. Well... I didn't expect you to be so bold, Xiaozhu. We are all here, but you secretly followed His Highness in the backyard without telling us... Isn't it exciting?"

“…”

A cool and quiet courtyard.

Jiang Yuxiang led Lin Jiangnian to the front yard. She slowly stopped and looked back at Lin Jiangnian: "The old man is in the room. The servant has just informed him. You can go in and see him directly."

Lin Jiangnian glanced at her and said, "What about my aunt?"

"I'm not going!"

Jiang Yuxiang pouted: "I don't want to see the old man."

Judging from his appearance, I'm afraid he's having some conflict with the old man again.

Before coming here, Lin Jiangnian had heard a little about this aunt's "heroic deeds". Unexpectedly, after coming here, he saw that she was indeed as good as her reputation.

When they were in the capital, Jiang Yuxiang acted like an elder, looking mature, steady and at ease.

I didn't expect that...he is a completely different person in private.

On second thought, it seems normal.

After all, Jiang Yuxiang is only a few years older than Lin Jiangnian, and the two can be considered to be of the same age. In addition, as the fourth daughter of the Jiang family, she has been living a life of luxury and has been doted on since childhood, so it is understandable that she has a slightly spoiled personality.

No matter what, Jiang Yuxiang was just used to it because of his temperament, and he had never done anything to harm others or oppress the people.

"What do you mean by looking at me like that, little brat?!"

Jiang Yuxiang quickly noticed Lin Jiangnian's strange look and immediately asked unhappily, "What are you thinking about?"

"No."

Lin Jiang laughed, trying to suppress his smile: "I remembered something happy."

Jiang Yuxiang looked suspicious: "What happy thing?"

"Aunt, you..."

Lin Jiangnian glanced at her, and finally couldn't help but sighed: "You look different now than you did in Beijing!"

"I didn't expect you to be such an aunt!"

After hearing these words, Jiang Yuxiang was stunned at first, then suddenly realized something and immediately showed shame and anger on her face.

"You bastard, are you deliberately mocking me?!"

"No!"

"You must be mocking me on purpose, right? This is outrageous. You dare to mock even your aunt?!"

"Auntie, calm down, I have no such intention!

"I don't believe it... Stop right there and don't run. I'm going to strangle you to death!"
