The King of Jin's farm was not too far from where Jiang Dexuan lived, and the carriage arrived in less than half an hour.

Jiang Nian went to take a look on the way.

The teacher she hired last time had already stayed there, and asked Shunxi to leave all the money with him.

This time, Zhang happily welcomed her into the house, poured her hot water, and talked to her with Jiang Dexuan.

"How are your cousins these days?"

Jiang Dexuan chuckled, "Don't worry, Niannian. They all cherish the teacher. They are afraid that they can't learn well and the teacher is unwilling to teach them. They have made progress in their studies in the past few days."

"That's good."

Then he asked, "Second Uncle, you're not that old now, have you ever thought about taking the imperial examination in the future?"

Jiang Dexuan is indeed not that old. Every year, there are many older students who take part in the scientific examinations.

Jiang Dexuan is considered young at this age.

Jiang Dexuan chuckled and shook his head: "Stop teasing me Nian Nian. I don't want to miss it anymore after so many years. Let the little ones go."

"Second Uncle, the Jiang family is now in the hands of my grandmother and father, and the assets left by my grandfather are all there. Are you really willing to let the Jiang family fall into the hands of my father?"

"You should know what kind of person my father is. If the Jiang family is handed over to him, it will be finished sooner or later."

"Even if your father is not here, you still have two brothers. The Jiang family will be theirs sooner or later, so I won't get involved." Over the years, the fighting spirit in Jiang Dexuan's heart has long been wiped out.

The anger and resentment from back then are long gone.

"Uncle, my second brother is a bad student. He's still young, and he indulges in drinking, whoring, gambling, and everything else. As for my eldest brother... let me tell you the truth, he's not even a Jiang family member."

"what?"

Jiang Dexuan thought he had been calm for so many years, but this incident still made his mind explode.

"Niannian, what do you mean?"

"Second uncle, you don't know yet? When my mother gave birth, my father replaced the child with a concubine's. But the concubine was not pregnant with my father's child. Therefore, the Jiang family will soon fall into the hands of unknown people. Second uncle, can you really sit still?"

Jiang Dexuan didn't recover from this news for a long time. What Jiang Nian said was really too unbelievable.

No matter how bad my eldest brother is, he can't replace his own child!

But then I thought, even my sister-in-law has been locked up in the Buddhist temple for so many years, and his own daughter has been abandoned at the border without any care. This kind of thing is not impossible.

Suddenly I remembered, since they were both my sister-in-law’s children, why did Mingyuan treat them well and only send his daughter away?

Now, you have to believe it even if you don’t want to.

"Then...what about your biological brother?"

Jiang Nian shook his head: "I don't know. Judging from my father's personality, he must be dead."

Jiang Dexuan said sadly, "What a sin! What a sin! That's his own son!"

We are all one family, why must it come to this?

"Uncle, what did grandma and father do to you? What can't they do? So, uncle, you have to stand up. The Jiang family will still rely on you in the future. Otherwise, the Jiang family will no longer be named Jiang."

Jiang Mingyuan is a ruthless man. He wants to use the Jiang family as a springboard and surrender to Prince Jin. He will soon become successful. At that time, he will not even take Jiang Dechang seriously.

When Jiang Dechang and Old Madam Jiang died one after another, she thought it was just an accident, but she didn't expect the truth to be revealed in the end. It was all the work of Jiang Mingyuan and Xiao Yinnan.

There is no way to know what happened after her death, but Jiang Mingyuan said that in order to have a smooth future, the second branch of the Jiang family cannot be kept.

Jiang Nian doesn't care who takes over the Jiang family, but nothing can happen to his second uncle's family.

She wanted to watch her second uncle and his family walk back to the Jiang Mansion step by step, and let the Jiang family watch her take revenge in fear and helplessness.

If it weren't for my second uncle, the Jiang family would have been burned down.

"But, I heard that your eldest brother is doing very well in his studies and is now working under His Royal Highness Prince Jin. So...how can we take back the Jiang family?"

"Uncle, if you believe in me, you must show your determination and fighting spirit. Please wait for me. I will be able to take you and Aunt back soon."

After leaving the farm, Jiang Nian went straight back to the mansion. As soon as he got back, Old Lady Jiang couldn't wait to find out the result.

Jiang Nian said some nice words to send the man away. It was getting late, so he went to bed early.

She had another nightmare at night. She dreamed that her mother was standing in front of her covered in blood, and there was a person whose face she could not see clearly, calling her sister.

Baozhu was beaten to a bloody mess, Amber's mouth was bleeding, Ping'an struggled in the mire, and was finally submerged bit by bit...

She stood in front of the Jiang family, covered in blood. The Jiang family members stared at her with smug smiles on their faces.

She just felt pain in her heart, so much so that she could hardly breathe.

I suddenly opened my eyes, my forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat, and the pain in my heart lingered for a long time.

Amber asked worriedly, "Did the girl have a nightmare?"

Jiang Nian looked over there in a daze, then looked outside. It was already bright outside the window.

Seeing Jiang Nian didn't say anything, Hubei smiled and said, "It's snowing outside, would you like to go out and take a look?"

"Snowing?"

"Yes, when I woke up this morning, I found it was snowing outside. It's a beautiful sight now."

Jiang Nian put on his clothes and Amber opened the door. A cold wind blew in and Jiang Nian shivered.

It was snowing outside and the entire Qingfang Courtyard was filled with silence.

Ping'an swept a path in the yard, but it was covered with snow again.

Jiang Nian reached out and caught a snowflake, which quickly melted in his hand.

The weather is getting colder. Jiang Nian doesn't want to go out at all in this weather.

There was a brazier in the room, making it warm. Jiang Nian called Ping An back and said, "Don't stay outside, come in and warm up."

The four of them gathered around the stove to make tea, put a plate of oranges on the table, and started chatting.

Jiang Nian opened the account book of the cloth shop, but only flipped through a few pages and stopped reading.

The previous note was a mess, and after she took over, there weren't many customers, so not even a single page was filled.

"Miss, I saw the servant next to the second lady yesterday. He asked me about my servant again." Baozhu said while eating oranges.

"How did you say that?"

"I didn't say that he was obviously with the Second Young Lady, but he wanted to come to our courtyard. The Young Lady must not accept such an unfaithful man."

Jiang Nian laughed. Look, even Baozhu could see that such a man was unfaithful.

"Well done. Remember to stay away from him next time you see him. Don't let him fool you."

The four of them were having a rare and pleasant day when someone suddenly came outside.

Ping'an hurried out to open the door, and came back after a while saying that someone was looking for him outside the house.

"They said they were from the Duke of Anguo's Mansion, and came to deliver something to the young lady."

"Let people come in."

The people from the Anguo Mansion brought two small boxes and said respectfully, "Greetings, young lady. These are sent by my master, the Duke. They contain some things that can be used in the winter." Then, they handed the things in their hands to Amber.

Before Jiang Nian could say anything, someone else came in: "Miss, the Prince Jin's Mansion... has also sent something."

Just as the messenger left, another person came: "Miss, someone is coming from the princess's mansion..."
