Jiang Wanyue changed her clothes and came out.

She was so anxious to see her family that she forgot about Guan Rou.

Prince Jing took her to the front yard first, asked Doctor Zeng to accompany them, and asked Rong An to prepare a lot of things before going out.

For once, he did not ride a horse, but took a carriage with Jiang Wanyue.

The carriage traveled slowly westward, and after passing through the west city gate, it waited for a while before the Jiang family arrived.

The carriage from Prince Jing's Mansion was too obvious, and the Jiang family saw it from a distance.

When they saw Prince Jing coming out of the carriage, Jiang Wanyue's father immediately came over with his family and knelt down to pay his respects.

"I, Jiang Guang, pay my respects to His Royal Highness Prince Jing."

The other members of the Jiang family also knelt down and followed Jiang Guang to pay their respects.

At this time, the curtain of the carriage was lifted, and Jiang Wanyue's surprised and excited voice was heard.

"Father! Mother!"

She got out of the carriage and wanted to jump off, but was stopped by Prince Jing.

"Be careful."

Prince Jing carried her down from the carriage, being extremely careful.

As soon as Jiang Wanyue landed on the ground, she ran over and hugged her mother and sister.

The mother and her two daughters were crying and laughing, which made Prince Jing frown and relax. After thinking for a while, he decided not to disturb them. He waved to Jiang Guang and took him aside to talk.

Xiuchun was also in tears, but she still remembered her mission and put the two thick cloaks in her hands on Shen and Jiang Fuyun.

After finally stopping her tears, Jiang Wanyue looked around and couldn't help but ask.

"Where are my uncle and his family? Where is my grandfather? And why aren't my eldest brother and his wife here either?"

Jiang Wanyue's mother, Shen, wiped her tears with a handkerchief and whispered, "Your uncle's family has decided to stay at the border. The situation in Beijing is uncertain. Staying at the border and managing carefully will also give them another way out. Your grandfather is in the carriage at the back! It snowed on the road, and your grandfather caught a cold. Your eldest brother and eldest sister-in-law followed the carriage to take care of him."

Jiang Wanyue breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's okay."

As she spoke, she looked at her sister and touched her face.

"Fuyun has lost weight."

Jiang Fuyun was only nine years old, much younger than Jiang Wanyue. In Jiang Wanyue's impression, her sister was cute and soft, like a white cake, but in less than a year, she had become taller and thinner, and Jiang Wanyue almost didn't recognize her.

Jiang Fuyun smiled and hugged Jiang Wanyue's waist.

"Don't worry about me, sis. I've grown up! I'm the one taking care of mom now!"

As she spoke, she suddenly exclaimed "Huh".

"Sister, have you gained weight? Your belly feels so soft."

Shen was shocked when she thought of Prince Jing carrying his daughter out of the car. She quickly grabbed Jiang Wanyue's hand and asked her in a low voice.

"Are you...pregnant?"

Jiang Wanyue nodded with a smile on her face.

Shen was pleasantly surprised.

"This is really good news. Mother was worried that you were not living well in the palace, but now it seems that the prince treats you well. Your father said that if it weren't for the prince's plea, it would not be so easy for our family to come back. Your grandfather has been sighing for a while, saying that he had made a mistake and felt very guilty."

Jiang Wanyue opened her eyes slightly.

"Isn't this the reason why Grandfather got sick? I advised Grandfather to give up the King of Qi, but he didn't listen. You must be regretting it now!"

"You mischievous girl, you dare to make up stories about your grandfather."

Shen poked Jiang Wanyue's forehead with a finger.

"Grandfather was wrong in the first place! My sister is right." Jiang Fuyun chimed in.

Jiang Wanyue rubbed her sister's head.

"You'd better be good, Fuyun. I've asked someone to prepare your favorite snacks. Come with me to the carriage! I've asked Butler Cao to prepare a house. Although it's not as big as the previous mansion, it's big enough for us to live in."

Jiang Wanyue held her sister's hand with one hand and her mother's hand with the other and walked towards the carriage.

On the other side, Prince Jing also finished talking to Jiang Guang and patted Jiang Guang on the shoulder.

"Let's go!"

Prince Jing wanted to bring the Jiang family back to the palace to welcome them, but Jiang Guang refused to agree and kept saying that he didn't dare.

The Jiang family is just ordinary people now, and Jiang Wanyue is a concubine. It is not good for her to come to their house so openly.

Prince Jing did not insist any longer. He got on his horse and took them to the villa prepared by Jiang Wanyue.

This house is small, with two entrances, front and back. It is smaller than Jiang Wanyue’s Wutong Courtyard, but it has more rooms and is enough for living.

Jiang Guang breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the house.

He was afraid that his daughter would act too high-profile. Given their family's current situation, it would not be too much to be too low-key.

Fortunately, my daughter was sensible and did not lose her sense of propriety because of Prince Jing's favor.

Butler Cao had already arranged everything and ordered two tables from the restaurant.

Jiang Guang and his youngest son were dining with Prince Jing in the front, while Jiang Wanyue was eating in the backyard with her mother and sister.

Since they were all family, there was no particular ceremony at the table. The mother and her two daughters kept chatting and asking about each other's situations.

Soon, it was getting dark. Jiang Wanyue reluctantly said goodbye to her parents, brothers and sisters, and followed Prince Jing back to the palace.

After returning to Wutong Courtyard, Jiang Wanyue leaned on the couch after a flurry of activity, looking lonely.

Although her mother did not tell her about her experiences at the border, when she saw her rough hands, dark and yellow face, the wrinkles on her face and the silver threads in her hair, Jiang Wanyue knew that her family had suffered a lot.

This is someone that Prince Jing has taken care of.

Jiang Wanyue couldn't believe it. If Prince Jing hadn't sent the message to the border, what would happen to her mother and sister now?

Prince Jing saw her expression and came over and hugged her.

"What's wrong? Are you not happy to see your family?"

Jiang Wanyue raised her head and said, "I am happy, but I feel sad to see my mother and sister suffer."

Prince Jing held her in his arms and stroked the top of her head with his chin.

"If you are really worried, I will ask Doctor Zeng to go over and see your mother tomorrow. If she is sick, they can treat her, and if she is not sick, they can take care of her health. Your father's original position has been taken by someone else, so why not go to the Six Ministries? There happens to be a vacancy in the Ministry of Revenue, for a sixth-rank official."

Jiang Wanyue quickly sat up straight.

"Your Highness has done enough for me. There is really no need for this. If my family's affairs cause Your Highness to be impeached, it will be my fault."

Prince Jing laughed.

"It's just a piece of cake, you don't need to worry. He's just a sixth-rank official, he won't implicate me. Your father seems very cautious, I don't think anyone will catch him. With him in the Ministry of Revenue, I can worry less."

Although he was only a sixth-rank official, once he entered the Ministry of Revenue, it would be difficult for others to get in.

This was originally left by the emperor for Prince Jing, but the emperor probably did not expect that Prince Jing would leave this position to the Jiang family.

Jiang Wanyue naturally guessed Prince Jing's plan, but she pretended not to know.

After Prince Jing left, Jiang Wanyue put away the gratitude on her face and looked calm.
