Jiang Mansion.

Not long after the nanny took Jiang Nian away, Jiang Dechang and Jiang Mingyuan came back from outside.

Jiang Dechang thought it was a good thing, but Jiang Mingyuan was confused. Although he was good friends with His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin, he did not know Princess Huaining. Why would the princess's mansion suddenly summon Jiang Nian?

As soon as they returned, they realized something was wrong.

"What happened?"

"Yeah, where are the people from Princess Huaining's mansion? Why don't they keep them here?" Jiang Dechang said with some complaints in his tone.

Jiang Dechang was just a small fifth-rank official in the Ministry of Rites. He had been waiting for more than ten years for the opportunity to climb up the social ladder. Today, when he heard someone in the palace say that people from Princess Huaining's mansion had arrived, he was stunned for a moment in disbelief.

I returned home excitedly, but didn't see anyone.

Jiang Mingyuan also asked: "Grandma, what's going on?"

Madam Jiang's face was grim, but she refused to give up. She asked her eldest grandson, "Mingyuan, aren't you on good terms with Prince Jin? Are you disowning Princess Huaining?"

"My grandson does have some interactions with His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin, but I don't know Her Royal Highness the Princess."

Hearing this, Feng Shi lost the last bit of hope in her heart. It seemed that the princess was really looking for that little bitch Jiang Nian.

When Madam Jiang explained the matter, Jiang Dechang suddenly remembered: "Is Mother talking about Sister Nian?"

He had no impression of this daughter. He disliked her when she was a child, and cared even less about her when she grew up. He only remembered that she was engaged to the Yan family.

He met her once on the day when the Yan family came to cancel the engagement. When he heard that she was willing to be Yan's concubine, he didn't ask any more questions.

When did his daughter marry into the princess's family?

On second thought, it is a good thing. After all, she is his daughter. If his daughter marries the princess, it means that he is involved with the princess. Isn't it a good thing?

Jiang Mingyuan's eyes darkened slightly, and he frowned slightly when he thought of the little girl in his memory.

Madam Jiang remained silent. Feng was furious. "Mother, what should we do now? If that little bitch gets the upper hand, how can we have a good life in the future?"

"Shut up!" Jiang Dechang said coldly, "After all, she's a girl from the Jiang family. Is that something you should say?"

Feng shrank her neck and quickly moved closer to Old Madam Jiang.

Madam Jiang glared at her son in dissatisfaction: "She is right. Sister Nian has just returned home, and she is not on the same page with us. If she really does marry into the Princess's Mansion in the future, we must be careful."

Jiang Dechang had already thought about it. After all, Jiang Nian was his daughter. Even if she had not been in the Jiang family for so many years, she was still a member of the Jiang family.

Besides, she was still young and didn't remember much of what happened back then. Now that she's back home, as long as I'm nice to her, there's nothing I can't win her over.

Besides, Jiang Nian’s elder brother is still here.

"Don't worry, mother. Sister Nian is a member of our Jiang family after all. How can she turn her elbows outside? She has suffered at the border. As long as we treat her well, she will naturally side with our family."

In the entire capital, not many people can enter Princess Huaining's Mansion. Now that the Jiang family has finally got this opportunity, they cannot miss it.

"Mother, she's going to be a concubine in the Yan family anyway. Let's take advantage of this period before she gets married to build good relations with the Princess's Mansion. By the time she completes her mission, she won't be a nuisance to you at home."

Old Madam Jiang thought about it and it made sense. Since she was provided with free food and drink in the mansion, she should at least do something for the family, right?

Jiang Mingyuan lowered his eyes and said nothing, not knowing what he was thinking.

Coming out of Shou'an Hall, Jiang Mingyuan seemed to be worried, which made Feng behind him suddenly alarmed, and she immediately rushed to Qingfeng Courtyard where Jiang Nian lived.

Jiang Nian lost face outside and was provoked by Jiang Nian. He hid in the house and refused to come out, beating the maid in the house to vent his anger.

As soon as Feng came in, she saw the room in a mess. The maid was beaten to a pulp and knelt on the ground, not daring to breathe.

"Okay, you go down first."

The maid endured the pain and retreated carefully.

Feng sighed. "Why do you take it out on the people around you? The most important thing right now is your eldest brother."

Hearing this, Jiang Nian finally reacted.

Although Jiang Mingyuan is Lin's son, he grew up with Old Madam Jiang and has a good relationship with Feng, and is even better to Jiang Nian.

Feng was not someone who could not see the situation clearly. Everyone in the family could see how much the old lady and the master valued Jiang Mingyuan. Wouldn't the whole family belong to Jiang Mingyuan in the future?

Her own son is unreliable and will have to rely on the Jiang family for survival in the future, so of course she has to hold on to Jiang Mingyuan tightly.

"Your eldest brother just came back. I heard that the little bitch has hooked up with the princess and has completely changed. If this continues, Mingyuan will be snatched away by that little bitch."

Feng didn't like Jiang Mingyuan before. If even Old Madam Jiang was not on his side, she would have driven him out long ago.

However, Jiang Mingyuan is very capable and his family values him. Otherwise, the identity of being Lin's son alone would be enough to prevent him from making a living.

But Feng was also puzzled. The old lady and the master clearly disliked Lin, so why did they value Lin's son so much? Aren't they afraid that Jiang Mingyuan would take over the family and release that bitch Lin?

But no one in the Jiang family had a good time.

Jiang Nian was also grumbling in his heart, but he was still comforting Feng Shi on the surface: "Don't worry, mother. I know my brother's character. If he was really snatched away by Jiang Nian, he would not have come back without even taking a look."

Although both were born to Lin, one was a young man who was raised in the mansion, and the other was a girl who was abandoned at the border for ten years and ignored. Even if she came back, she could not surpass her.

Because they didn't see anyone from the princess's mansion, Jiang Dechang and Jiang Mingyuan left one after another.

As soon as the two left, people from the princess's mansion came again.

This time, a sedan chair also came along.

As soon as the people from the princess's mansion came in, they went straight to Shou'an Hall.

Madam Jiang almost dropped the teacup in her hand: "Again?"

"Yes, we'll be at Shou'an Hall soon."

Old Madam Jiang was very upset because of this group of people. If she ignored them, they were people from the Princess's Mansion and she would lose her head if she offended them. But if she paid attention to them, she would be very unhappy.

Going back and forth all the time, does he think her Jiang family is the main street?

The nanny came in and spoke before Madam Jiang could say anything: "Madam Jiang, there is no need to be so polite. My prince asked me to come because he wants to ask for someone from the Jiang Mansion."

Madam Jiang Zhang Ziran did not dare to show impatience: "Who does Your Highness want? Just tell me."

"Mrs. Jiang."

Madam Jiang was stunned. Just as she was about to say something, the nanny stopped her. "If you want to talk about Feng, forget it. My princess said she wants to see the real Madam Jiang, not a concubine."

Old Madam Jiang's expression changed instantly, and she could barely hold the cane in her hand.

Lin? The princess actually wants to meet Lin?

It has been ten years, so long that she almost forgot the existence of this person in the mansion.

But why did the princess want to see Lin?

"Excuse me, Your Highness, is there something important that you want to see my daughter-in-law for?"

"Your Highness summoned me, so it must be an important matter."

Madam Jiang asked tentatively: "Madam, you don't know that Lin hasn't been seen for many years. If she offends His Highness, then..."

"It's better for Madam Jiang not to ask about His Highness's affairs. Let's quickly invite him out."

Seeing the old lady hesitate and remain silent, the nanny frowned, "Yesterday, the mansion tried to deceive the princess by using an imposter to impersonate Miss Jiang. That matter hasn't been settled yet. What's going on? Are you, the Jiang family, still openly defying the princess's orders?"

"I dare not, I dare not..." Old Mrs. Jiang gritted her teeth and finally spoke.

"Go...invite Lin here."

A quarter of an hour later, Lin followed two maids into Shou'an Hall.
