On the day of rebirth, I took my baby to find Jiuqiansui to recognize his relatives

Jiang Yanwan and A Yan returned to the side courtyard. The courtyard was quiet, with only the chirping of birds occasionally breaking the tranquility. Although it was silent, it also added a bit of beauty.

Ah Yan jumped up and down, seemingly unaware of the strangeness in the air.

Jiang Yanwan had a solemn look on her face. She knew that from now on, this road would only become more difficult.

"Mom, I'm hungry." A Yan raised his head and looked at Jiang Yanwan innocently, and gently tugged at the corner of her clothes with his little hands.

Jiang Yanwan squatted down, gently touched Ah Yan's little head, and forced a smile: "Okay, Mom will cook for you right away."

In the kitchen, several servants were chatting together. When they saw Jiang Yanwan come in, they immediately dispersed, leaving only an elderly cook holding two bowls of rice that had obviously been left out for too long and had turned yellow, with a few vegetable leaves dotted on them.

"Miss, this is today's meal." There was no respect in the cook's tone, but rather a bit of disdain.

Everyone knows now that although Jiang Yanwan has the support of Prince Jin's child, she is actually just a concubine. Compared with their real lady Jiang Shihuan, she is so much lower in rank!

Such a person who is not even half a master is not worthy of their respect.

Jiang Yanwan frowned slightly, but did not get angry. She just said calmly: "Thank you for your hard work. I'll serve it myself."

She took the bowl from the cook, glanced at the fresh ingredients in the kitchen, and understood.

She calmly prepared a simple meal for Ayan and herself. Although simple, it was clean and warm.

When Ah Yan returned to the side yard, his eyes lit up when he saw the food and he cheered: "Wow, there are delicious foods! Thank you, mother!"

Jiang Yanwan looked at Ah Yan eating with gusto and felt mixed emotions.

She knew that the status bestowed by the King of Jin was just superficial, and the real storm had just begun. The child was not his, but he acknowledged her. There was only one possibility, that there was a greater revenge waiting for them.

What she had to do now was to use this tiger skin to protect herself and Ah Yan. Wu Junyao was too wary of her now, so she had to rely on herself for everything...

As night fell, the side courtyard was completely silent.

Jiang Yanwan sat in front of the window, looking at the bright moon in the sky, with a myriad of thoughts in her mind.

At this time, a light sound of footsteps was heard, and A Yan, wearing small clothes, rubbing his eyes, walked to her side.

"Mom, why are you sighing?" A Yan's voice was childish and concerned.

Jiang Yanwan hugged him in her arms and said softly, "Mom is fine. I'm just thinking about how to make your life better in the future."

"Mom, when Ayan grows up, he will protect you and won't let anyone bully us." Ayan clenched his fists and looked determined.

Jiang Yanwan smiled, tears glistening in her eyes. This was the only warmth she felt in this cold mansion. "Okay, mother believes in Ah Yan."

The next morning, Jiang Yanwan gently woke up Ah Yan who was sleeping beside her and said softly, "Ah Yan, today mother wants to take you to the street to see if we can buy something."

A Yan rubbed his sleepy eyes, nodded excitedly, and his little face was filled with an expectant smile.

The streets were bustling with people and the cries of various vendors could be heard one after another.

Jiang Yanwan held Ah Yan's hand and walked through the crowd, occasionally stopping to pick up some daily necessities in front of a stall. Ah Yan looked around curiously, feeling fresh about everything.

Just as they were passing through a secluded alley, a woman's cry for help suddenly rang out, breaking the hustle and bustle of the market.

Jiang Yanwan's expression changed, and she immediately pulled A Yan to follow the sound.

I saw a gorgeously dressed woman being cornered by several thugs. Although she struggled hard, she was obviously unable to do so.

Jiang Yanwan frowned, protected Ah Yan behind her, and shouted in a deep voice: "Stop!"

The thugs turned around when they heard the voice and saw that it was just a weak-looking woman. They couldn't help but laugh wantonly. The leader, a big man with a face full of flesh, stepped forward and said disdainfully: "Where did you come from, bitch, and dare to meddle in my business?"

Jiang Yanwan's eyes were sharp, and she looked intimidating without even getting angry: "Get out of here now, or don't blame me for being rude."

The thugs were shocked by her aura and stood there in a daze for a moment.

At this moment, Ah Yan suddenly poked his head out from behind Jiang Yanwan, and his childish voice was filled with determination that could not be ignored: "Mother, I'll help you!"

After saying that, he trotted a few steps and kicked one of the thugs on the knee. The man fell to the ground in pain. Then his small body moved around flexibly and soon he beat several people to a pulp. The scene suddenly became a mess.

Jiang Yanwan took the opportunity to rush forward, and with a few neat moves, she dealt with the remaining thugs and rescued the frightened woman.

The woman straightened her clothes and looked at Jiang Yanwan gratefully: "Thank you for saving me, my humble servant Li Qing."

Li Qing? If I remember correctly, the princess of the current dynasty was named this...

Jiang Yanwan was slightly startled. She had never expected that her casual action could save a member of the royal family. She quickly saluted and said, "It turns out to be the eldest princess. I am Jiang Yanwan, and this is my son Ayan. I am glad that you are okay."

Li Qing took Jiang Yanwan's hand and said with a smile, "Sister Yanwan, you don't have to be so polite. If it weren't for you today, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to get away. Why don't we find a place to talk about it in detail?"

The two found a teahouse and sat down. Ah Yan sat obediently beside them, occasionally interjecting a few words out of curiosity.

Li Qing and Jiang Yanwan had a very pleasant conversation, from poetry and songs to family, country and the world. They found that they had similar interests and felt that they had met too late.

"Sister Yan Wan, your talent and courage are truly admirable. If I have the chance, I will definitely say a few good words for you in front of my brother." Li Qing said sincerely.

Jiang Yanwan smiled calmly: "Princess, you are too kind. I just hope to live a peaceful life with Ah Yan. However, I also cherish the relationship we have today."

As they talked, it gradually got dark and the three of them said goodbye reluctantly.

Before leaving, Li Qing quietly handed Jiang Yanwan a token: "If you have any difficulties, bring this token to the palace to find me."

After returning to the mansion, Jiang Yanwan looked at the token in her hand with mixed feelings.

Ah Yan came over, looked up and asked, "Mother, today was so much fun. Will we be able to see the princess again in the future?"

Jiang Yanwan touched his head and said, "Yes, Ayan. As long as we have good intentions, we will always meet more beautiful people and things."

As night fell, Jiang Yanwan and A Yan fell asleep in each other's arms.

After a peaceful night, Ayan came to his mother's side the next day, holding tightly in his hand an invitation card inlaid with gold and jade, his eyes sparkling with curiosity and yearning for the unknown world.

"Mother, the doorman just said that the eldest princess invites everyone in the mansion to attend her Hundred Flowers Banquet! Can I go? Can I go and see what the palace looks like?" Ah Yan's voice was full of anticipation, and his little face flushed with excitement.
