Jiang Nian followed Mother Zhang and hurried to the front yard. Mother Zhang was shaking as she spoke along the way.

"Just now, a group of soldiers suddenly appeared outside the gate, frightening the people in the mansion. When we asked, they said they were from the Duke of Anguo's mansion, looking for the eldest daughter."

"Did you say what it was?"

"I asked, but the man didn't say anything. Concubine Liu didn't dare to make a decision on her own, so she went to report it to the old lady. The old lady then asked me to come and invite the eldest lady."

"Who's the first one?"

"Yes...it's the Duke of Anguo."

what?

Duke Anguo comes in person?

But she had no connection with the Anguo Mansion, so why were they looking for her?

Thinking about what she has done these days, she shouldn't have offended anyone.

When they arrived at the front yard, everyone in the Jiang family was waiting on the side. Sitting at the top was a man in his thirties, wearing a brocade robe, with a stern face and an upright posture, showing his majesty.

Seeing Jiang Nian come in, Jiang Dechang immediately said: "Duke, someone is here. This is my daughter."

"Why don't you come over and meet the Duke?"

Jiang Nian stepped forward and saluted: "Greetings, Duke."

Duke Anguo looked at the man from head to toe and did not speak for a while.

Old Madam Jiang was excited. The Duke looked like this. Could it be that he was attracted to her?

I heard that the Anguo Mansion has not had a female mistress for so many years. If Nian'er can really enter the mansion, won't she be the only female mistress in the future?

Yeah!

The old Duke has a deep relationship with the current Majesty. He helped the Majesty conquer the world back then, and the two are friends for life and death. Although the old Duke has retired now, the title of the Duke's Mansion is still there. Moreover, the current Duke has also made great contributions and is favored in the presence of the emperor.

Old Madam Jiang was so excited that her heart almost jumped out of her chest.

"Are you Jiang Nian?"

"Returning to the country, sir, that's right."

Duke Anguo said nothing else. He stood up and said in a deep voice, "Since that's the case, let's go."

?

Jiang Nian was confused and was about to ask when she was stopped by Old Madam Jiang: "Sister Nian, since this is the order from the Duke, why don't you follow him quickly?"

Jiang Nian only needed to take one look to know what she was planning.

If you look at your own heart, everything you see will be dirty.

She is only fifteen this year, and Duke Anguo must be at least thirty-five, old enough to be her father, yet he is still thinking about such dirty things.

"Please wait a moment, Duke Anguo."

Madam Jiang glared at her unhappily, but Jiang Nian ignored her and looked at the person who had turned around in front of him. He asked respectfully, "Excuse me, Duke, is there something important?"

Duke Anguo was not angry, and his rough voice sounded: "You will know when Miss Jiang arrives."

Madam Jiang pulled her aside and immediately smiled and apologized, "Please forgive me, Duke. I didn't teach my granddaughter well since she was young. She has no other intentions. She will go with you now. You can take her with you for as long as you want."

Jiang Nian glanced sideways, his eyes drooping.

Duke Anguo walked out on his own. Madam Jiang pushed him forward impatiently and said, "Go quickly. Don't make the Duke angry."

Since Duke Anguo came in person, Jiang Nian had no room for refusal.

I could only follow him outside.

Baozhu followed beside him, looking nervous.

The dozens of people outside were a sea of ​​people, which made people feel uneasy.

However, these people were very respectful. They welcomed her into the sedan chair and headed all the way to the Anguo Mansion.

Baozhu quietly glanced at the people outside and asked in a low voice: "Miss, what should we do?"

"As a Duke's Mansion, I don't think they will make things difficult for us. Those people were quite respectful just now, so it shouldn't be a bad thing."

Jiang Nian thought about everything that happened during the day. She mainly went to Princess Anle's mansion today. Apart from Princess Anle and Prince Yan, she didn't see anyone else.

My body suddenly stopped. Something was wrong. I saw a mentally retarded child.

When they reached the Duke's Mansion, the sedan stopped and a voice came from outside: "Miss Jiang, please get out of the sedan."

Jiang Nian opened the curtain and got out of the sedan chair. A mother was standing outside, looking at her with a smile on her face: "Come with me, big girl."

Looking forward, Duke Anguo was no longer there.

Jiang Nian followed and turned left and right, finally arriving at a courtyard. Just as he stepped inside, someone suddenly rushed into his arms: "Mom, Mom is back!"

It was the child she had seen during the day.

An Minyou held Jiang Nian's waist tightly and kept rubbing against her.

The nanny on her body sighed and whispered, "Don't be surprised, young lady. The young master lost his mother when he was five years old. This is the first time in all these years that I have seen him so close to others."

It turned out to be the case.

It was getting late, and the child was probably not sleeping well, so she was called over.

"Ayou, it's getting late, let's go to bed first, okay?"

"Well, Mommy sleeps too, Mommy sleeps too."

An Minyou finally calmed down, nodded, and followed Jiang Nian into the house.

After helping the child onto the bed and covering him with a quilt, Jiang Nian sat by the bed, patting him again and again, and said softly, "Mom is here, Ayou, go to sleep."

The mother beside him was about to cry. After so many years, this was the first time that the little master was so obedient when sleeping.

The young master lost his parents when he was young. Although he was protected by the master and the old man for so many years, everyone knew that those people bullied the young master behind his back because he was stupid.

The young master had been bullied countless times. Whenever those people outside saw him, they either stayed away from him or looked at him with disgust. Only this girl was willing to get close to the young master.

Mother Yu didn't dare to say anything until Jiang Nian, who was sitting on the bed, stood up, and then she went to greet him.

The two of them quietly left the house.

As soon as Mother Yu left the house, she happily bowed to Jiang Nian and said, "Thank you so much for today, Madam Jiang."

"It's okay, it's not a big deal."

Having said that, it was so late, and she was called here just to coax a child to sleep. I have to say that the Anguo Mansion is indeed...unusual.

However, she also knew the child's situation, so even if she wasn't at the Duke's Mansion today, she would still come this time.

"It should be fine. The child is still young. He will forget about it when he wakes up tomorrow after a good sleep."

"Yes, the Duke has instructed that if Miss Jiang's situation is resolved, I will let this old servant take you to see him."

"The Duke wants to see me?"

Jiang Nian became suspicious. She didn't know much about the affairs of the Duke's Mansion, but she had raised such a big child, and when they met today, the child called her mother. If she was this father, she would probably be sad too.

"Okay, then please lead the way."

After walking through many twists and turns, we finally arrived.

Mother Yu stood outside the courtyard and did not go in. The servant inside came out and invited her in, "Miss Jiang, my Duke is already waiting."

I walked to the door and before I went in, I heard voices coming from inside. There was more than just Duke Anguo in the room.

"Miss Jiang, come in."

Jiang Nian walked in slowly with his head lowered, stepped forward and saluted. As soon as he looked up, he saw the person sitting opposite Duke Anguo. He was slightly stunned. Why was he here?
