Surprise! The little koi from the farm, her husband who died long ago is alive!

Jiang Shuyue was also a little surprised when he saw the person coming.

"Sister, why don't you recognize your ninth brother?"

Jiang Shuyue burst out laughing, "How could that be? Brother Jiu, what are you doing..."

"I'm back. I just went home to see the old lady, and then I came to see you."

Jiang Shuyue nodded and quickly invited the person into the house.

Yan Jiu brushed off the snow on his body, feeling a little embarrassed by those curious eyes staring at him. "I'm so sorry to come to your place during the New Year. I know you've been worrying about me, and I thought I should let you know I'm safe, so I didn't care what day it was today."

"It's okay." Jiang Shuyue said.

Jiang Lanlan had already brought a fruit plate and peanuts and melon seeds, and then she blinked at the strange man until the old couple of the Xiao family called the two children out and asked them to talk about business.

"What are your uncle and aunt doing... I hope I won't cause you any trouble." Yan Jiu asked considerately.

"No, my parents have known about you for a long time. Fourth brother has helped me a lot during the time you were away. They all know it."

"That's good." Yan Jiu smiled and said, "I just got home and found out that my case was overturned."

He took a deep breath and said, "Sister, I, your ninth brother, owe you my life. I thought you were just trying to coax me because you were afraid I would do something stupid. I didn't expect it to be true."

"Ninth Brother was wrongly accused in the first place, and sooner or later his injustice will be vindicated."

But she didn't expect it to come so soon.

"Fourth brother and the others have been looking for you for a while, but there's no news from you. Where have you been?" Jiang Shuyue asked curiously.

Yan Jiu rubbed his hands. The room was warm, but he had been outside in the cold for too long and was still feeling cold.

"I wanted to go far away to avoid being caught by Magistrate Hong. Wouldn't it be a waste of your kindness? Then I went to the south by mistake. Our family is a business, so I changed my name and went back to my old business."

"It's the New Year, and I'm still worried about the old lady, afraid that she'll be sad because of my problem, so I thought about coming back to see her, but I found out that my problem has been solved. If I had known, I would have come back earlier."

"It's good to be back now. The old lady will definitely be happy."

Yan Jiu nodded, "Of course she is happy. My brothers at home also told me that you should visit her often. Sister Shu Yue, without saying anything else, please accept my greetings!"

"You can't do that!" Jiang Shuyue hurried to help him up. "Ninth brother is a righteous man, and what he did was good. The brothers in the Yan family also took good care of me. Since we are a family, why do we have to be so clear about it?"

"Yes, we are a family." Yan Jiu was very happy. "Why, it's the New Year, and my brother-in-law hasn't come back yet?"

Yan Jiu didn't say much when he got home and stayed for less than half an hour. He didn't even bother to inquire about Jiang Shuyue's affairs and rushed over impatiently.

"He went to the capital."

Jiang Shuyue briefly described Xiao Lin's situation, but she still didn't mention his identity as a prince.

We will know this matter naturally in the future.

"Where is the capital? If I had known he was in the capital, I would have gone to see him." Yan Jiu said with a smile.

Coming back from the south, one has to pass through the capital, so Jiang Shuyue just asked casually, "Has anything big happened in the capital recently?"

"I only stayed in the capital for two days because I had a business deal that would require me to be in the capital in the future. I don't know anything about the big events, but I haven't heard about the war."

What the people are most concerned about is whether there will be a war.

"But... there is good news in the royal family. I heard that they found a prince who was stranded outside. Now he has been made a king and given a mansion. What a grand ceremony."

"Really?" Jiang Shuyue was very happy after hearing this, which meant that Xiao Lin had arrived in the capital safely.

As for the fact that he didn't fulfill his promise and come back, she didn't really care.

She thought he must have been tripped up by something.

"I heard that the emperor also granted him a marriage..."

Jiang Shuyue's head buzzed, and then he thought about what Yan Jiu said.

She couldn't stop.

"Ninth brother, you said the emperor granted him a marriage?"

"Yeah, what's up girl?"

Jiang Shuyue tried to calm herself down, "Then do you know who he is going to marry?"

"I don't know about that, sister, what's wrong with you?"

"It's okay." Jiang Shuyue believed that Xiao Lin was not the kind of heartless person, but why was this happening?

"You don't look well." Yan Jiu said.

Jiang Shuyue forced a smile. Something must have happened. It seemed that she would have to go to Beijing as well.

After all, it was New Year’s Day, so Yan Jiu sat for a while and then left.

But Jiang Shuyue had no appetite for this New Year’s Eve dinner.

But she didn't want her family to notice or the old couple to smell it, so she just said she was tired.

"Are you tired? Go take a rest. We can make dumplings for just a few people in no time."

Jiang Lanlan nodded, "She is a sister. You go and lie down for a while. Auntie and I are enough."

They just thought that Xiao Lin didn't come back, and Jiang Shuyue felt sad.

At this moment, Jiang Shuyue was not only sad, but also worried.

Under normal circumstances, Xiao Lin would never agree to the marriage.

She was afraid something had happened to him.

Also, Prince Li clearly knew that Xiao Lin had already married in the countryside, so how could there be talk of an arranged marriage?

There are also the Pei family father and son, both of whom are aware of their existence.

Jiang Shuyue thought about it all night but still couldn't figure it out.

These were things that had never happened in her previous life, and she was completely unprepared.

After eating dumplings, Jiang Shuyue gave the two children some New Year’s money.

"Sister, I don't want it. You provide me with food and clothes, and I don't have anywhere to spend the money." Jiang Lanlan shook her head.

"Sister Lanlan, just take it." Jiang Liuyun advised, "I'm not polite."

"That's right, since you call me sister, you should accept the New Year's money."

Jiang Lanlan looked at it again and again, and finally stopped refusing.

Jiang Shuyue handed them what he had prepared for the two elders.

Old Man Xiao also made many excuses, "We usually give a lot, we are not children, we don't need New Year's money, you manage such a big shop by yourself, it must be very tiring, you should spend it on yourself, your mother and I have saved a lot, enough for retirement."

"Yes, Shu Yue, you should spend more time on yourself, but just wait until Xiao Lin comes back, you will have a good life with him."

Speaking of Xiao Lin, Jiang Shuyue's heart tightened, but she didn't plan to tell the two elders, "Mom, I plan to go to the capital in a few days to see how he is settling in."

"Okay, okay, that's how it should be." Old Madam Xiao said, "If you hadn't put so much effort into this villa, I would have advised you to just close it down. You'll be a princess in the future, so what's the point of this little money?"

Jiang Shuyue smiled, fearing that the princess might be someone else.
