The two brothers saw that Jiang Shuyue didn't say anything and just stared at them. Thinking of the lies he told them when they met before, they felt a little uncomfortable.

** spoke again, "The last time I deceived Madam, it was all Master's intention. Please forgive me, Madam."

Jiang Shuyue smiled, "Brother Chen, what are you talking about? You are just following orders. How can I blame you?"

Chen Qi breathed a sigh of relief. "It's good that Madam doesn't blame me. If it were me, there would be no need for the master to hide it from Madam. Otherwise, we brothers would have met Madam earlier and could have gotten some food."

** glared at his elder brother, asking him how he only cared about food and made his wife laugh at him.

"Ma'am, don't listen to my eldest brother. He just likes to joke around."

Jiang Shuyue had never come into contact with these two brothers, and she had no idea that their personalities were so different. "Two brothers, you should have heard about what happened to Xiao Lin in the capital, right?"

Chen Qi looked at his brother nervously. It was over. The master was going to make a big fuss.

"We have heard some of it, but not more than Madam."

"So you don't know what exactly happened in the capital?" Jiang Shuyue asked again.

The two nodded. Their mission was to protect Jiang Shuyue. Although they wanted to go with their master, their master would not let them.

"Okay, I'm going to the capital. Have you heard about this?"

Two people were protecting her in secret, and she didn't know where they were hiding, so she didn't know how much they heard.

"Madam, do you really want to go?"

Jiang Shuyue nodded, "Xiao Lin has told me everything. Now the development of things is not in plan. I am worried that something must have happened to him. Otherwise, he is definitely not a person who does not keep his promises."

She looked at the two of them and said, "The journey to the capital is long, I would like to ask you two brothers to come with me."

The two brothers looked at each other and quickly agreed.

"We were originally left behind by the master to protect the lady. Naturally, we will go wherever the lady goes. If the lady wants to go to the capital, we brothers will naturally go with you."

"Thank you, brothers. I'd like to ask you to pretend to be servants instead of hiding in the dark." Jiang Shuyue said softly, "This way, we can have some delicious food."

Chen Qi's face turned red with embarrassment, but hiding in the dark, he really had to go hungry.

"We will obey Madam's orders in everything."

Jiang Shuyue nodded, "Although we must go to the capital, do you two have any way to contact General Pei's mansion?"

But it was obvious that she was thinking too well, and the two shook their heads again.

Xiao Lin was short of time at the time, and even with the memories of his past life, he couldn't arrange everything in such a short time.

"Well, you two brothers, go to the villa to rest today, eat something delicious, change into clean clothes, and come with me to the capital in two days."

The night before departure, Jiang Lanlan knocked on Jiang Shuyue's door.

"Come in." Jiang Shuyue guessed that it was her, and her movements were gentle. The knocking sound of other people in the house was not like this.

"elder sister."

"Lanlan, do you have something to talk to me about?" Jiang Shuyue asked softly.

"My sister is going on a long trip tomorrow. I want to talk to her."

Jiang Shuyue asked her to sit down, "Want to go back with me?"

After all, she grew up in the capital, and Jiang Lanlan also heard some things about the Tao family at the Hot Spring Villa.

Jiang Lanlan shook her head, but then nodded.

"That's strange. Why does she nod and shake her head?" Jiang Shuyue looked at the little girl.

She had always been worried that Xiao Lin might be in danger, so she couldn't sleep or eat well. Now that she knew he had arrived in the capital safely, she was not so worried anymore.

Even if you encounter trouble, as long as you are alive, there is a chance to solve it.

So, no matter how annoying the rumors outside were, she felt more relaxed than before.

Jiang Lanlan looked at her. After spending so many days together, she trusted Jiang Shuyue very much. "Sister, I don't want to go back because I miss that home. I now know that you brought me back to save my life."

Jiang Shuyue curled her lips. It was actually quite remarkable that a ten-year-old child, who grew up in such an environment, could understand this.

"You're quite smart."

"Sister, I'm not worried about the Tao family. I'm no longer a member of the Tao family. My last name is Jiang, and I'm your younger sister."

Jiang Shuyue pinched her little face and asked, "Then why do you want to go with me?"

"I'm worried about you, sister. I'm afraid you'll be bullied. Actually... when I was at the Tao family, not many people saw me. I seldom go out, so I shouldn't cause any trouble for you, sister."

"And I can still help my sister."

"What can you help me with?"

Jiang Lanlan took a deep breath and made up her mind: "I know about the Tao family and Prince Duan. I can expose the conspiracy between Prince Duan and the Tao family and help my brother-in-law get rid of the enemy."

"What about you? Then your identity as a member of the Tao family can no longer be hidden."

"I... I can die at most. I would have died anyway without my sister, but you allowed me to live for so many more days and let me feel the warmth of home."

"Silly girl, you think too simply. It is difficult for you to expose Prince Duan without any evidence. Moreover, everyone knows that he is related to this matter, but he still sits there firmly. Do you think that you and I can shake him?"

Jiang Lanlan bit her lip, "What should I do then?"

"I know you're doing this for my own good, but it's not as simple as you think. You should stay here. If you want to go to the capital to see your mother for the last time..."

"I do not want!"

"That would definitely be very troublesome for my sister, and she might even get into trouble. Although she gave birth to me, I am grateful, but sister, it was only after meeting you that I knew what is truly good. If I do this, will you think I am cold-blooded?"

The outcome of not being cold-blooded is being sent to an old eunuch and tortured to death.

In this life, Jiang Shuyue is not as compassionate as he was in his previous life.

"No, that's your choice."

Jiang Lanlan put down the big stone in her heart, "Sister, I think my brother-in-law treats you very well. There must be a misunderstanding here."

Jiang Shuyue smiled and said, "How do you know? It's getting late. Go back to bed. I still have things to take care of at home."

"Me? No, no, I don't know how to do anything."

"Although you are still young, you have seen a lot when you were in the Tao family. Your parents are old and honest, and Liuyun is young and simple-minded. I can only leave this family to you. This is my hard work."

Jiang Lanlan bit her lip, "Well...well, sister, I'll wait for you to come back."

"it is good!"

Jiang Shuyue originally planned to be a kind person only once in her life, but it seems that as long as she helps the right person, she might be able to do it a second time.

Jiang Lanlan never felt that her existence was meaningful.
