Upon hearing this, Aunt Liu immediately said, "Please invite the person in quickly."

After saying that, he looked at Jiang Nian and said, "General Xiao must have known that the eldest lady is back, so that's why he came."

Jiang Nian frowned: "General Xiao? Xiao Yinan?"

"That's right, young lady, you don't know yet, right? General Xiao is now a favorite of His Majesty. During the time young lady was away, General Xiao made great contributions and was personally appointed a general by His Majesty and even granted a mansion. Young lady just returned, and I haven't had time to tell you about this yet."

"He is a general, why would he come to our house?"

Aunt Liu was stunned and asked, "Young lady, don't you know? General Xiao said that Young lady has done him a favor. Now that he is a general, he naturally wants to repay Young lady and the Jiang family."

As he was speaking, people were invited in. Everyone present, except Jiang Nian, stood up and saluted Xiao Yinnan.

"No need to be so polite. The Jiang family has done me a favor, so I should be the one to greet you all."

After he finished speaking, he looked at Jiang Nian, who had a cold expression on his face, and said with a smile: "Niannian is back."

The word "Niannian" made everyone in the family look at each other in bewilderment. Before, General Xiao had only said that he was indebted to him. Could it be that there was something else involved?

"Everyone, I want to talk to Nian Nian alone." Xiao Yinnan said.

Jiang Nian stood up and said calmly, "Come with me."

The two returned to Qingfang Courtyard. Xiao Yinnan was about to go up to her and hold her hand, but Jiang Nian hurriedly dodged: "Xiao Yinnan, don't go too far!"

Xiao Yinan withdrew his hand and smiled: "Niannian, I just miss you."

"Niannian, my identity is different now. I can protect you. I will never let anyone bully you again. Niannian, please don't ignore me, okay?"

"It seems that the last time I stabbed you, I didn't stab you deep enough, and the poison wasn't strong enough."

Xiao Yinan said hurriedly: "Niannian, I know I was abrupt last time, don't worry, it won't happen again in the future. I will protect you and the Jiang family in the future. I can give you whatever you want."

Jiang Nian laughed: "Do you really think you can give me everything?"

"Yes, I'll give you whatever you want."

"Then I want your life, will you give it to me?"

Xiao Yinnan's expression froze and he didn't answer.

Jiang Nian sneered: "Didn't you say you were willing to give me everything? It seems you don't have much sincerity."

Xiao Yinnan felt his chest becoming increasingly stuffy, unable to breathe: "Niannian... why are you..."

"Why?" Jiang Nian sneered: "Xiao Yinan, what have you done that you have forgotten so quickly? You are just like Jiang Mingyuan, hypocritical and disgusting."

Xiao Yinan stood there for a long time without moving, and finally recovered his voice from the shock, "You...you...you also..."

No wonder, no wonder... no wonder she has inexplicable hostility towards him, no wonder she doesn't want him in this life.

She remembered everything, the Jiang family's viciousness and his betrayal.

She hates him.

"Xiao Yinnan, there's an evil bond between you and me. I wish I could tear your tendons and skin you alive, but you keep showing up in front of me. Are you afraid I'll forget what you did?"

How could she forget? Even if she turned into ashes, she would never forget.

"You still have the nerve to appear before me? Why, do you want to kill me again?"

"No, no, Nian Nian, I was forced to do it. I didn't want to kill you. I really didn't want to kill you."

He just wanted Jiang Nian to fake his death and leave the Jiang family, but when he struck that sword, he realized how wrong he was.

Jiang Mingyuan had something on him and asked him to kill Jiang Nian, but when Jiang Nian fell to the ground, he realized that he was wrong, completely wrong.

His years will never come back.

In this life, he thought that everything was still in time, so he began to plan secretly and changed his name and surname like in his previous life and entered the Jiang Mansion.

In his previous life, Jiang Nian liked him the first time he saw him, but he was snatched away by Jiang Nian.

Jiang Nian has a bad temper and always takes his anger out on his subordinates, and he is no exception.

Later, he deliberately showed his injuries to Jiang Nian. Sure enough, Jiang Nian took him in and treated him very well.

But in this life, Jiang Nian didn't even look at him. He waited and waited, his heart ached, but no one came.

He couldn't wait any longer and took the initiative to meet her, but what he saw was alienation and disgust in her eyes.

So that's it, so that's it...

"Xiao Yinan, if I have the chance, I will definitely kill you, so I advise you to stay away from me."

In fact, she could have pretended to be friendly with him, gotten close to him, and then found an opportunity to kill him, but she couldn't do it. The thought of getting close to such a person made her feel sick.

Even if it was false, she didn't want to tolerate it.

"Come here, see the guests off!"

Xiao Yinnan left in a daze. Jiang Nian immediately gave orders that if Xiao Yinnan came again next time, he would not be allowed to enter the house. From then on, no one in the family would be allowed to interfere in anything related to Xiao Yinnan.

Anyone who secretly has dealings with Xiao Yinnan will be kicked out of the house.

No one in the family understood why Jiang Nian reacted so strongly, but no one dared to ask.

Aunt Liu was feeling nervous. She was the most welcoming when General Xiao came to her house before. After all, since General Xiao came, the people outside had become much more polite when speaking to them.

But the eldest girl's reaction was so big that I felt a little uneasy.

Concubine Liu came to Qingfang Courtyard and asked, "Young Lady, you and General Xiao... Oh, I don't mean to pry into your personal affairs, but I didn't know you disliked General Xiao. If I had known, I would definitely not have allowed anyone to come."

"Don't worry, Auntie. The grudge between Xiao Yinnan and me has nothing to do with others. Auntie, you've been working hard at home, so you should go back and have a rest."

Seeing that Jiang Nian didn't want to say more, Aunt Liu stood up and said goodbye.

royal palace.

In the council hall, Prince Yan was reporting to Emperor Jianning on the disaster in Pingchuan and how it was handled. Emperor Jianning was very satisfied after reading it.

"Well, you are indeed my good son! If you do a good job, I will reward you handsomely."

"Tell me, what do you want?"

The King of Yan was silent for a moment, then said, "Your Majesty, I wish to... marry a woman."

Upon hearing this, Emperor Jianning burst into laughter: "Good, good! You finally figured it out. Tell me which girl you've taken a fancy to, and I'll arrange a marriage for you."

Prince Yan mentioned a name that Emperor Jianning had never heard of, so he asked who the family was from. After Prince Yan told Emperor Jianning about Jiang Nian's identity, Emperor Jianning frowned instantly.

"Nonsense! How can you, a prince of a great country, marry a woman with a bad reputation? Even if she is innocent, how can she be worthy of you if she comes from a humble family?"

Emperor Jianning was a bit disappointed: "Last time I told you to go out more and interact with those girls more, but you didn't like any of them. Are you going to piss me off to death?"

"Your Majesty, I only want to marry her."

Emperor Jianning said angrily, "Forget about her. I will hold a banquet in the palace in two days and ask the ministers to bring their daughters. You can choose one. As long as her family background and appearance are acceptable, she will be fine."

"His Majesty......"

"It's settled. Go back and prepare well and attend the banquet on time."
