Jiang Miao looked at the girl in front of him and replied, "Sure. But we can only find a few... After all, it's been a long time."

These managers were originally appointed by him, so he had some connections.

"It doesn't matter. As long as anyone is willing to come back, any number is fine." Jiang Luo replied calmly.

Jiang Miao nodded.

Liu watched the girl negotiating with her husband, as if Jiang Luo in front of her was not a fourteen-year-old girl at all.

She even began to wonder.

What happened in Jiang Luo's five years at Zhuangzi that could make such an ignorant girl become a completely different person?

"Uncle, can you tell Luo'er how the current managers of these shops are doing under your leadership?" Jiang Luo asked again.

Jiang Miao was a little hesitant when he heard this.

Seeing that he looked a little embarrassed, Jiang Luo asked, "Did Luo Er make Second Uncle embarrassed?"

Jiang Miao waved his hand and said, "That's not the case. It's just... it's just that the shop your mother left behind has long been taken over by your sister-in-law, and now the shop is managed by people from the Qin family."

Speaking of this, Mrs. Liu was very angry.

Her husband worked hard every day, and in the end all the money went into the public account.

Even the most profitable shops were occupied by the Qin family.

Thinking of this, she glanced at Jiang Luo and said, "Your mother has always been so tolerant and kind. I think the Qin family and the Zhou family are almost getting rich."

It's almost like saying: Qin used the money from your mother's dowry shop to support the Qin family, and even her sister-in-law's family.

Jiang Luo just frowned after hearing this.

Of course she was angry, but she couldn't lose face in front of outsiders.

Now that the shop is in her hands, she will have plenty of time to deal with them in the future.

Just wait and see!

They must spit out everything they have swallowed.

"In that case, let's make it settled for now. I will write to Guangling tomorrow. Uncle and aunt, Luo'er will take his leave first." Jiang Luo stood up and bowed.

After hearing her words, Jiang Miao felt relieved.

He waved his hand and said, "Go ahead."

Liu got up and walked her to the door before returning to the room.

"Master, do you think I will be trusted this time?" Liu said angrily.

Jiang Miao hurriedly pulled her to sit on his lap, put one arm around her waist, pinched her chin with the other hand and said, "Master, when did I not believe you?"

Liu looked at him and said, "If Chen'er's body can be taken care of, even if he can't be cured, as long as he can take less medicine and live like a normal person, it will be fine."

Jiang Miao nodded and said, "Yes." Then he carried Liu into the inner room.

Liu glared at the man in front of her with a seductive look and let him go.

The two's biggest wish is that Jiang Chen's health will get better.

Now that I see there is a little hope, I feel a lot more relieved.

It was as if years of fatigue had been relieved.

Jiang Luo led the maid out of Qiu Shui Courtyard, and within a few steps, he saw the Xiang Yun Courtyard of the fourth young lady Jiang Chen.

Her fourth sister was really badly harmed by Jiang Yin.

He had to take medicine all the time and was not allowed to go out every day.

In the next few days, Qin will probably be busy taking care of her beloved son Jiang Huai and will not be able to take care of Jiang Yin.

Now that the Duke's Mansion is headed by the Liu family, I wonder when the good show will begin after her fourth sister has been preparing for so long.

She couldn't wait...

The master and his servants walked quickly towards Shaoguang Courtyard, as they were really exhausted today.

Mother Wu had already boiled hot water in advance. As soon as Jiang Luo arrived in the yard, Rendong helped him wash and change clothes.

As for the encounter with bandits, no one mentioned it so as to avoid making Mother Wu worry in the house.

In Prince Jing's mansion, everyone was still frightened by the incident with the bandits.

If Wu Yang and his men had not happened to encounter this incident today, Qing Ning would not have been able to withstand so many people alone.

Lu Jinan sent Prince Jing back to the palace, and asked Bai Qing to check the pulse of his mother, Princess Jing. After confirming that his mother was fine, he went into the study room of the palace.

He didn't come out until dinner time.

After dinner, he took the tea bowl handed to him by Qingliu, rinsed his mouth, and then ordered: "All of you go out, Sumu, keep watch at the door."

"Yes, Prince." The maids filed out.

Su Mu: Are you sure you are calling him, sir?

Princess Jing looked at him in confusion.

When the crowd outside the door quieted down, Lu Jinan said, "Mother, I have something to say, and after thinking it over, I still feel that I shouldn't hide it from you."

Princess Jing didn't seem to care.

She stroked the two white jade balls as big as walnuts in her hands and asked, "You say."

Lu Jinan thought for a moment and said, "I saw my second uncle's jade pendant on the young lady today."

With a snap, the white jade ball fell from the pair of paused hands and broke into several pieces on the bluestone slab.

This is Princess Jing's favorite toy. When she was deep in thought, she would often hold it in her hands and turn it over and over.

At this moment, she didn't care how many petals the white jade ball broke into.

She leaned forward, holding Lu Jinan's sleeve tightly with her bare hands, and asked tremblingly, "What did you say?"

Lu Jinan pulled her hand down, held it in his large palm, and said, "Jiang Luo. Second uncle's jade pendant is with Jiang Luo."

Princess Jing was already in tears.

She murmured to herself: "Jade pendant, Jiang Luo..."

Lu Jinan sighed.

He knew that his mother would always be so sad when it came to matters concerning his second uncle.

That was her most beloved second brother, the most amazing man she had ever met in her life.

He was somewhat glad that he did not tell his mother until he was sure that it was his second uncle's jade pendant.

Otherwise, he really didn't know what his mother would do.

"An'er, are you sure that is your second uncle's jade pendant? Could it be..." Princess Jing came back to her senses and asked anxiously.

Lu Jinan shook his head, looked at her firmly and said, "My son has confirmed that one of my uncle's names is engraved on the same position of the jade pendant."

"clear."

"clear."

The two said in unison.

Upon hearing this, Princess Jing clutched the front of her clothes tightly with both hands, and her tears fell onto the table like beads that had broken off the string.

She burst into tears.

Ever since Prince Jing's death, she had never had such outward emotions again.

She lived in a daze like a wooden person. If she hadn't remembered that she had a son, she would have passed away long ago.

After a stick of incense, she asked in a tearful voice, "He's not dead... He must not be dead, right?"

Lu Jinan had no choice but to nod.

He also didn't know whether his second uncle was alive or dead.

Now that his jade pendant has appeared, there is a glimmer of hope for finding his whereabouts, however slim.

Princess Jing cried and laughed and said, "He is still alive, he is not dead. Brother actually gave the jade pendant to Rong'er's child... But why didn't brother come to see me... Why..."

Lu Jinan wiped away her tears and said softly, "Mother, if my second uncle is alive but didn't come to see you, he must have his own reasons."

Princess Jing nodded immediately and replied, "Yes, yes... An'er, your uncle has his own difficulties. He must be hiding..."
