When Jiang Huashan returned to Juyuan, Fang Mei had already packed up the room. Jiang Wanyi was resentful of Jiang Huashan for the move and had not shown up from beginning to end. The aunties in the garden helped pack the luggage.

"..."

Jiang Huashan looked at the almost empty bedroom and was stunned for a moment. He even turned around and walked out of the room to confirm whether he had walked into the wrong house.

Fang Mei was worried about what Jiang Huashan had said at Qin Garden. When she heard that he had returned, she immediately rushed over to find out the news. Seeing Jiang Huashan looking around at the door, she looked puzzled and asked, "What are you looking for?"

Jiang Huashan pointed inside the house and said, "Mom, a thief broke into my room and took everything."

Fang Mei glared at her angrily, "What nonsense are you talking about? The room belongs to you, so what's wrong with giving a few things in here to your sister? Are you really going to draw a line between you and Yiyi?"

Jiang Huashan walked into the bedroom and pointed at the completely ransacked room. "You call this taking a few things?"

Shen Zhuang had put a lot of thought into building this Huajing Pavilion, and every piece of furniture and soft furnishing inside was worth a fortune. Her sister was so bold and cruel that she actually moved them all away.

Fang Mei disagreed, "Shanshan, your sister is used to using these things. What's wrong with you letting her use them?"

That makes sense. Jiang Huashan nodded and pointed at the crystal chandelier above her head. "Mom, since we've already taken everything, this one won't make a difference. Why don't you just ask someone to take this one down? I can just light a candle."

After hearing this, Fang Mei's mouth twitched. Why hadn't she realized before that this damn girl was so good at using yin and yang?

Jiang Huashan ignored Fang Mei's expression and walked straight to the bathroom. "Phew, that was a close call. The bathtub is still there."

How could Fang Mei not hear Jiang Huashan's sarcasm? She frowned slightly and looked in the direction of the voice with an inquiring look.

After a while, the sound of water running came from inside.

He actually ignored her.

Fang Mei immediately realized that this was not a good sign. Originally, she wanted to use this to punish Jiang Huashan, because Jiang Huashan's various behaviors today made her, as a mother, feel very threatened.

She tacitly agreed to Jiang Wanyi's emptying of the embroidery building. She wanted to make Jiang Huashan understand that without her support in Juyuan, everything Jiang Huashan could get would be just an empty shell.

This was Ye Fangmei's usual method of controlling children. She had thought that this time it would succeed as usual, but it seemed that things were not going well.

What's going on? Why isn't it working?

Puzzled, Fang Mei followed him into the bathroom. Jiang Huashan was halfway over the tub, her fingers fiddling with the water. Seeing Fang Mei follow in, she looked up and smiled, "Mom."

Still know how to please her.

Fang Mei's expression suddenly relaxed, "Shirt..."

"Are you here to dismantle the bathtub?"

"..." Fang Mei's words were about to come out of her mouth but were retorted, "You little bitch!"

Are you challenging her?!

Fang Mei frowned and said sternly, "Shanshan, that's enough! Mom has already let Yiyi move out as you wished. What else do you want? It's just a few pieces of furniture. Can't you give them up if your sister likes you? If you are so intolerant, there is no need for me to stay here, so as to save you..."

"Mom." Jiang Huashan paused, raised his hand to tighten the faucet, and looked at Fang Mei with a smile on his face. "I have thought carefully about what you said. I think you are right. I can't just think about myself in everything. I can't tie you and Ayi to me just because I want to be loved. You should have your own lives. So..."

Fang Mei's heart skipped a beat, and she suddenly had a bad feeling, "So what?"

"So I've already told Grandpa, and I hope he can let you and your sister go back to Huaicheng, because I don't want to see you so tired, so wronged, and so unhappy."

Fang Mei almost fainted from lack of breath. After seeing what the Dragon Court House was like, she no longer wanted to go back to the mud nest. This time she was really shooting herself in the foot.

"Mom, what's wrong with you? Didn't you say you were leaving? Why do you look so grim?"

Fang Mei frowned and looked at Jiang Huashan. Seeing that her childish face was full of worry, the doubts in her heart immediately dissipated a lot.

This girl has been raised under her nose for three years, and she knows her virtue and trust best. Instead of deliberately plotting tricks, she would rather believe that Jiang Huashan is just going through the rebellious period of adolescence.

It seems that we cannot suppress it all the time, otherwise it may have a counter-productive effect.

Fang Mei adjusted her eyebrows in time and sighed softly, "Shanshan, you misunderstood. It was just a tirade that Mom couldn't hold back. Please don't take it seriously. In fact, Mom has always felt guilty towards you for so many years. Mom has always wanted to make amends. Mom is also willing to stay in Shen Garden with you."

"Huh?" Jiang Huashan was stunned. "So it was just something he said in anger?"

Fang Mei walked up to Jiang Huashan with a smile, and said gently, "Mom will never say such things again in the future, to avoid you misunderstanding. Don't mention the old man anymore, okay?"

Jiang Huashan nodded, looking very obedient, "Okay."

Fang Mei slowly straightened up and patted her head in appreciation. "It's getting late. Don't soak for too long. Go to bed early. Mom will make you Huaicheng soup dumplings tomorrow."

Jiang Huashan's eyes sparkled, "Thank you, Mom."

"Be good, mommy will go back first." Fang Mei kept smiling and turned to leave the bathroom.

"Click——"

As soon as the door closed, the woman's spring-like smile sank to the bottom of the sea.

*

Jiang Huashan didn't care at all. She happily took a hot bath, and the moment she lay down in the bed, she couldn't help but let out a comfortable moan.

It's been a long day, but it's almost over.

Perhaps the hot bath just now relieved her fatigue, she was not sleepy at all now, her eyes were wide open and she stared blankly at the crystal chandelier on the ceiling.

It seems... I am really back, back to Shen Garden ten years ago.

But what to do next?

If you want to protect Grandpa, you must find out who the traitor lurking in the Shen family is. However, the fact that 'that person' has been able to lurk in the Shen family for many years without being discovered, and can even poison Grandpa right under his nose, shows that his intelligence and methods are extraordinary.

In the three years after the incident, Shen Lanxi dug deep into the ground but could not find any clues, which also shows that this person's background is extraordinary.

Jiang Huashan is self-aware. Although she knows the script, she may not be able to make good use of this golden finger with her current abilities and knowledge.

The only thing she could be thankful for was that she had returned early. Grandpa's death occurred six months after she and Shen Lanxi got married, so she still had seven years to learn and grow. All she had to do now was hide herself. Only by hiding deeper could she find the "ghost."

Thinking too deeply, Jiang Huashan suddenly felt sleepy. He yawned lazily and turned over and fell asleep.
