The Yan family suffered a disaster, and Jiang Nian was happy. After dealing with Yan Qingsong, it was the Zhao family's turn. Two days later, he returned to the Jiang family.

This time, Jiang Nian informed Jiang Dexuan in advance, and when she arrived home, everyone in the family came out to greet her.

Jiang Lan and Jiang Mingrui bowed to her, and Aunt Liu and Zhang also bowed. Jiang Dexuan smiled with his eyes narrowed, and Jiang Nian was surrounded by a group of people and entered the Jiang family.

The whole family sat together and talked to Jiang Nian. Jiang Nian asked about Jiang Lan and Jiang Mingrui's homework, and asked about the recent situation at home. Hearing that everything was fine, Jiang Nian felt relieved.

Seeing Jiang Nian wanted to talk to Jiang Dechang, Zhang was about to send the two children away, but Jiang Nian stopped her: "No, they are grown up now, stay and listen."

"Jiang Nian has been found, but I can't bring him back yet. The rest of the family must be kept under close watch and not allowed to escape again."

Although Jiang Nian's words were tactful, Jiang Lan and Jiang Mingrui still understood them.

Ever since they returned to the Jiang family, they knew that there were several people locked up in the backyard. Of course, the family said that this was not called locking them up, but taking care of them.

Those people in the backyard have gone crazy and must not be let out. If they run away, they will be the ones in trouble.

On weekdays, no one except my parents and Aunt Liu can approach me casually.

Jiang Mingrui was still young and believed these words without a doubt, but Jiang Lan had grown up and naturally knew what was going on.

Her cousin asked her father to be the manager of the household. She had heard from her father who were the other members of the Jiang family. However, since she came back, she had only seen her aunt Liu and her cousin from her uncle's family, and had not seen anyone else.

But my cousin is a kind and gentle person. Those people must have done something unforgivable to make my cousin so angry.

Moreover, I heard that those people were not nice to my cousin, so it would be better to lock them up.

Jiang Nian was tired and wanted to rest. When he came out of the main hall, Zhang called the two children over and gave them some instructions.

"Did you hear clearly what your cousin said just now?"

The two nodded.

"Remember, your cousin is really doing this for our own good. You have to listen carefully to what she says. And the people locked up in the backyard, although they were all arranged by your cousin, they are not good people. You must not get close to them, understand?"

The two nodded. If it weren't for their cousin, they would still be freezing in the mountains outside the city. How could they live the comfortable life they have now?

Jiang Lan said, "Don't worry, mother. My cousin is the backbone of our family. We will definitely listen to her."

Although the Jiang family has been officials for generations, they were all minor officials and the family was not prominent. Who would have thought that someone in the family could enter the royal family?

Although she is a concubine, the weight of a concubine in Prince Yan's Mansion is still different.

If Prince Yan ascends the throne in the future, Jiang Nian will be the imperial consort, and their Jiang family will be considered royal relatives.

"When you go out in the future, be mindful of your words and actions and don't cause trouble for your cousin."

Things are different now than before. Prince Yan is in a difficult situation, and relatives like them must be careful about everything and not bring shame to Jiang Nian.

"Don't worry, mother. We all understand."

Jiang Nian rested at home for a while, and Baozhu came back excitedly: "Girl, the person is really here!"

Today she deliberately revealed the news of her return to the Jiang family to the Zhao family, and look, they arrived in just a few hours.

In Beijing, home visits are generally made before noon. After noon, except when visiting neighbors, doing so would be considered impolite.

The Zhao family has a good reputation among businessmen. Because they wanted to marry into an official family, they learned the etiquette of the official family. Unexpectedly, they now ignore all these.

However, since the Zhao family dared to do such a thing behind the scenes, it was not surprising that Jiang Nian came to visit today.

"Are you here to talk about marriage again?"

"That's right, the second master is accompanying him outside."

The Zhao family is really determined. They have the Yan family behind them. Do they really think that the Yan family can protect them?

The Yan family had been reprimanded twice by His Majesty for Yan Qingsong's affairs, yet they still hoped for His Majesty's favor. Lord Yan's career would end at this position of Vice Minister of Personnel. If he was no longer useful in the future, His Majesty would not keep him.

He is very loyal.

It’s a pity that this loyalty was directed to the wrong person.

"Miss, the Zhao family is determined to marry us and won't listen to any objections. But their actions aren't out of line. If you tell others about it, they'll even praise the Zhao family for their loyalty and righteousness."

Jiang Dechang had been dismissed from office and had disappeared for a long time. Although she entered the Prince of Yan's Mansion, she was only a concubine after all. Even if she wanted to curry favor with him, a family like theirs was not considered a good family to curry favor with.

But the Zhao family did not despise the Jiang family's poverty and insisted on marrying them. It can indeed be said that they were very kind and righteous.

But if it is done with other purposes, then it is calculation.

"They heard that the young lady is coming back today, so they couldn't wait to come here. They are a bunch of people trying to curry favor with the rich and powerful." They knew that her young lady could make the decision, so they came to block the door.

It would be fine if the Zhao family was just trying to curry favor with someone powerful, but now that they have someone behind them, they must have ulterior motives.

"Go tell Second Uncle that I agree to this marriage. Since Miss Zhao has such deep feelings for Second Brother, we can't force them to part ways. Let's give the Zhao family this opportunity to show their loyalty."

If the girl from the Zhao family insisted on coming in, then let her come in. It just so happened that Jiang Mingsheng was short of a servant, and the maids who were serving him were already impatient.

In addition, Jiang Mingsheng had a bad temper and would beat and scold his subordinates at will. When Feng was the housekeeper, the subordinates did not dare to act rashly. Now that Feng has lost power, who would still take Jiang Mingsheng seriously?

Since the girl from the Zhao family is willing to endure this suffering, then she should marry into the family. Only by marrying into the family can she know what life is like in the Jiang family.

Jiang Dexuan was stunned for a moment when Jiang Nian's meaning was conveyed. Then he looked at the Zhao family and said politely, "Brother Zhao, since you said so, then... I can't refuse anymore. Since this marriage was arranged by my eldest brother, and the Zhao family is loyal and righteous, then the marriage will not change. As for the marriage, we can discuss it slowly."

Jiang Dexuan originally wanted Jiang Nian to agree, so he agreed to the matter first and then discussed the subsequent matters slowly.

Unexpectedly, the Zhao family member across from them actually spoke up: "No need to discuss, we've already chosen the date, it's the 25th day of the twelfth lunar month."

The date has been chosen? The 25th day of the twelfth lunar month? Doesn't that mean there are only a few days left?

Why is the Zhao family so anxious?

Jiang Dexuan didn't know what the Zhao family was doing behind his back, he just thought they were anxious to marry their daughter off.

But this is the first time I've seen someone so anxious.

This made Jiang Dexuan start to doubt. He had heard of people worrying that their sons wouldn't be able to find wives, but he had never heard of people worrying that their daughters wouldn't be able to get married.

He glanced at the people around him and saw them nodding, and he knew that Jiang Nian agreed.

But he was still suspicious, so he sent the man away and went to find Jiang Nian.
