Yan Xuyang pulled the donkey forward quickly, while Jiang Wanting and Jiang Jiyun followed closely behind the donkey cart, supporting Du Wanqing, who was pregnant.

Jiang Jiyuan expressed a lot of thanks to the Imperial Army before turning around to chase them.

After asking many people, one person finally knew where the Meihao Photo Studio was.

"You guys wait over there, I'll go see if that person is in the photo studio." Jiang Jiyuan asked Yan Xuyang to wait in a remote place with the donkey.

Following the guidance of passers-by, Jiang Jiyuan arrived at the door of Meihao Photo Studio, which had just opened early in the morning.

The guy who opened the door saw the man standing at the door and asked, "Do you want to take pictures? Please come in and I can introduce you to it."

Jiang Jiyuan nodded and walked into the photo studio and asked, "Excuse me, is Master Qin Jianghe here?"

The guy who was talking smiled and said, "Our boss will be here soon, please wait!"

Qin Jianghe heard what the waiter said when he took out the photos he had developed last night.

"What can I do for you, sir?" Qin Jianghe had been waiting at the city gate for two days, and he had to go pick someone up today.

"Boss, we are from Su City. Boss Zhao asked us to help send one of your relatives back home." Jiang Jiyuan took out the half banknote and handed it to Qin Jianghe.

Qin Jianghe's pupils dilated and he reached out to take the half banknote. He took out a book from the drawer of the cabinet, took out the half banknote and pieced it together, and the complete character "Qin" on the banknote appeared.

"I have been keeping an eye on the city gate since I got the news. I have been waiting there for the past two days. I developed a few days' worth of photos last night. I didn't expect that you would be here just because I got up a little late." Qin Jianghe said excitedly.

Jiang Jiyuan looked at the guy and hesitated whether to speak or not. Qin Jianghe saw his worry and explained, "Xiao Wang is one of us. Comrade, just speak frankly."

Jiang Jiyuan told Qin Jianghe and Xiao Wang what happened at the city gate. Qin Jianghe and Xiao Wang looked a little embarrassed after hearing it.

"I'm sorry! The Imperial Army wanted to check the body and question him, so I made up this story. You have to find a body of a man who was almost beaten to death to replace it." Jiang Jiyuan said awkwardly when he saw their expressions.

Qin Jianghe nodded in understanding. "Special cases require special treatment. Xiao Wang, have someone prepare a body and place it in the house. The mourning hall must also be decorated."

Xiao Wang nodded and went out. Qin Jianghe said to Jiang Jiyuan, "Little brother, let's go too."

Jiang Jiyuan nodded and went out, Qin Jianghe locked the door and followed him.

Arriving at the coffin, Qin Jianghe took the reins from Yan Xuyang and said, "Thank you for all the help. Now I will lead the way."

Several people followed Qin Jianghe for a distance and arrived at the door of a house where a mourning hall had just been set up.

"Boss Qin, what happened in your family?"

The neighbors next door all ran over to see. They looked at the coffin on the donkey cart and wondered who had passed away, so an old man came over to ask.

"Everyone still remembers my uncle who was making a living in a foreign land. My friend asked someone to send him back home." Qin Jianghe really had an uncle in a foreign land, and many people here knew it.

"Remember, remember, this is Qin Lao Er's death?"

"No way, he's not even fifty yet?"

"There are many more people dying at this age these days!"

……

Jiang Jiyun listened to what these people said for a long time but still couldn't understand, so he simply leaned against Jiang Wanting and took a nap. Traveling for so many days was a bit tiring. Fortunately, she took out a lot of durian shells and put them in the coffin for a few days before putting them away, otherwise the people who checked might find that there was still breathing in the pot.

At this time, Xiao Wang brought people to carry the coffin into the house. Qin Jianghe stopped talking to everyone and helped carry the coffin into the house.

"We only give the prince one meal a day, and use medicine to make him faint the rest of the time. He is in the coffin now. I hand him over to you. It is up to you whether to use this packet of medicine. One ear spoonful can make him sleep for a whole day." After Jiang Jiyuan said this, he put the paper bag in Qin Jianghe's hand.

"Old Zhao and the others..." Qin Jianghe knew it was useless to ask them, but he still couldn't help himself.

Jiang Jiyuan shook his head. "We don't know their situation either. The fact that we have no news about them means they are all safe."

"I have asked someone to prepare some food. You can go and eat some first. I will ask the chef to come over and make something delicious in the afternoon." Qin Jianghe said as he looked at the people, big and small.

"No, we still have to continue our journey. We have to rush to Y Concession to reunite with our families before the New Year. We won't bother you." Jiang Jiyuan shook his head to reject his kindness.

Qin Jianghe invited him several times but he refused every time so he stopped trying to keep him. When he heard that he was going to Y Concession, he asked him to wait for a while and he hurried to his room.

After a while, he came out, handed Jiang Jiyuan a small book and said, "I only have this one pass. If you want to go to the Y Concession, you must enter Hucheng. I also only have one pass to enter the city. One of you can go in and find someone to guarantee your entry."

Jiang Jiyuan took the pass and said gratefully, "Thank you, you really helped a lot."

"Then I wish you a safe journey!" Qin Jianghe said with a bow as he escorted the people to the gate.

Jiang Jiyuan was pulling the donkey cart, and the others were already sitting on the cart, and they set out on their journey again.

Jiang Jiyun looked at her brother and said, "Brother, I don't speak the local dialect! Uncle Qin and the others seem to speak the Hu dialect."

"They speak a bit like the people in Caijiagou, but if you listen carefully they are different." Du Wanqing agreed.

Jiang Jiyun touched her sister-in-law's almost four-month-old belly and said, "When Hu arrives, I will nourish my nephew or niece. I am rich and cannot let my nephew or niece starve to death. Sister-in-law, let me feel your pulse. I felt it once last time."

Du Wanqing smiled and nodded and said "Okay!"

She put her wrist on her sister-in-law's leg and watched the girl put her fingers on her pulse seriously like an old scholar.

After taking the patient's pulse, Jiang Jiyun showed a look of astonishment on his face, his eyes widened, and his lips slightly parted, as if he wanted to say something, but was unable to speak because he was too excited.

She tried to restrain her inner joy and carefully took the pulse again to ensure the accuracy of the result. After reconfirming, Jiang Jiyun could no longer suppress her inner ecstasy and suddenly burst into laughter.

Yan Xuyang, Jiang Wanting, and Jiang Jiyuan and his wife all looked at Jiang Jiyun with concern as she couldn't stop laughing. They didn't know what had happened to make her lose her composure like this.

"Wait... wait a moment..." Jiang Jiyun laughed for a long time before gradually stopping. Then he spoke and crawled towards his bag.

Du Wanqing watched her take out her mother-in-law's tablet from the bag. It was a small tablet made by her husband when he was in Caijiagou.

Jiang Jiyun held the tablet in both hands, tears glistening in his eyes, and said in a choked voice: "Mom! I'm bringing you to see your grandchildren! The grandchildren you've been talking about are here! Xiaoyun has been waiting for them!"

"Next May, no, twins are prone to premature birth, so I will have nephews and nieces in April! You must bless my sister-in-law and the children to be safe and sound!" As she spoke, she gently stroked the tablet, as if she could feel her mother's presence.

"what?"

"Twins?"

Several people in the car looked at Du Wanqing's belly in surprise.
