When Jiang Erlan had walked halfway, he reunited with Yu Ruyue and others!

An An and Ning Ning rushed over, "Grandma! Ning Ning and brother miss you."

Jiang Erlan smiled and touched the little tufts of hair on the two children's heads, "Grandma misses you too."

"How was it? Did you have a good time out there? Were there many people buying cars? Are you hungry? Are you hurt? Are you tired?"

Jiang Erlan squatted down and asked.

An An quickly shook her head and said very steadily: "Don't worry, Grandma! An An protected my sister very well. We didn't get hurt at all, and we're not tired!"

Jiang Erlan kissed their chubby little faces and said, "My baby An An is great, and my baby Ning Ning is great too."

Yu Ruyue and Shen Zhiheng waited until Jiang Erlan finished interacting with the two children before someone pushed a bicycle in. "Mom! This is the cloud-stepping bicycle made especially for you!"

"If you have nothing to do, you can go out for a ride on your cloud-riding bike."

“Everyone out there is riding this now.”

Jiang Erlan looked at the lavender car in front of her, her eyes filled with joy, "Why is this color so beautiful?"

Shen Zhiheng looked at Yu Ruyue tenderly, "This is the color Ruyue specially mixed for you."

"If I hadn't wanted to get a color you like, Ruyue would have sent the car to you a long time ago."

Jiang Erlan looked at Yu Ruyue with a smile that showed her teeth and eyes, "My precious daughter still understands me."

“I really like this color.”

"And I heard that many people want this color, but it's not available."

Yu Ruyue smiled and took her arm, "Yes! You are the only one."

Jiang Erlan became even happier when she heard that she was the only one. She had always heard mothers-in-law say that their daughters-in-law were there to snatch their sons away from them. At that time, she didn't quite understand. Isn't it good to have one more person to think about her son?

As a result, not only is there one more person who likes my son, but there is also one more person who is filial to me. Isn’t that great?

The two chatted and laughed for a while, and then a servant came over with a very embarrassed look.

"lady!"

When Jiang Erlan saw that he was one of the servants guarding the three people, his face instantly darkened. Just as he was about to walk over to ask, Shen Zhiheng stopped him and said, "No need to avoid my son. If you have anything to say, just talk here."

Jiang Erlan thought for a moment and waved at the boy, "Well! Then go ahead and tell me. There aren't many outsiders here."

The servant hurriedly said, "Reply, Madam! Who is this person who wants to see the Marquis? I ignored him, so he banged his head against the wall. Now his head is bleeding and he feels like he's going to die. I came to ask Madam what we should do."

Jiang Erlan was so angry that her teeth itched. "Where on earth did that beast get the nerve to actually want to see my son?"

"Let him hit it, it would be better if he died!"

The servant nodded and was about to leave when Shen Zhiheng stopped him, "Wait a minute! Doesn't that person want to see me? I'll go."

Jiang Erlan hurried to his side and looked at him with a worried look on her face, "Son! You don't have to go see him!"

"He cherishes his life the most and would never really seek death."

"You go to see him, and listen to his nonsense, which makes you sad."

Shen Zhiheng smiled and said, "Don't worry, mother! I'll be back soon."

Jiang Erlan wanted to stop him, but Yu Ruyue stopped her. "Don't worry, mother. I'll go with him. You can practice riding your bike here. How about that?"

An An and Ning Ning knew that their parents were going to do something important, so they quickly hugged Jiang Erlan's thighs and said, "Grandma, please stay here with me and my brother!"

"Yes, Grandma, my sister and I will teach you how to ride this cloud-stepping vehicle!"

Jiang Erlan knew that the children didn't want to make her sad, and she actually didn't want to make the children sad either.

However, some things cannot be avoided. Only you can pull out the thorns in your heart. No matter how much others say, it will be of no use.

Yu Ruyue held Shen Zhiheng's hand and came to the dilapidated courtyard.

Before he even opened the door, he heard a commotion inside. "Dad, what are you doing? Are you willing to sacrifice your life to see that peasant?"

"Do you want to take him back?"

"Didn't you say that I was your only son? Why did you change your mind now?"

Qiao Jie endured the pain and tugged at her son's sleeve. "Gao Wang! Your father did this for both of us. Do you want to be trapped in this place forever, being beaten and scolded by that woman?"

"As long as that little bastard still recognizes you as his father, we can get out right away!"

Lin Gaowang's face was filled with rage, and he pounded the ground in anger. The wounds on his back and fingers made him grimace in pain. "Hmph! Even if I go out, what's the point? Dad would have lost his position long ago, otherwise why would he be imprisoned here?"

"Besides, that bastard married a princess. Even if we leave, we won't have a good life."

Qiao Jie looked at her son with a distressed look on her face. "Don't worry, my son. That little bastard has never received his father's love. I believe that as long as your father pretends to say a few nice words to him, even if he is asked to personally give you the position of Marquis, he will be willing to do so."

Lin Gaowang curled his lips in disbelief. "How is this possible? He's just of low status, not stupid. You and my father drugged him and let your cousin torture him for 20 years. How could he still be respectful to my father? Don't let him get beaten up again."

Lin Jingde's head ached, and he frowned angrily and shouted, "Shut up! He's your brother, don't call him a bastard."

Lin Gaowang snorted coldly, "Humph! He married the princess and became a marquis, and you don't call him a bastard anymore. Wasn't it you who called him a bastard first when he was nothing?"

"Besides, it's still unknown whether that bastard is actually my father's son! How could a sickly child possibly survive natural disasters and man-made calamities? That woman must be talking nonsense, trying to make my father regret it."

"You!" Lin Jingde's face flushed with anger, and the wound on his head hurt even more. Qiao Jie rushed over and grabbed his arm, "Master! Don't be angry. Gao Wang is still young and doesn't understand your good intentions."

Lin Jingde shook his sleeves, feeling helpless. "Hey! He's already 23! How can he still be a child!?"

Qiao Jie wanted to continue speaking for her son when she heard the sound of a door opening from outside the yard.

Lin Jingde quickly lay on the ground, looking very weak.

Qiao Jie also quickly knelt down and wiped the non-existent tears on her face with a dirty handkerchief.

"Master! Wake up! I know you miss your child with your wife, but you can't hurt yourself. If the Marquis sees you, he will definitely be heartbroken."

Lin Jingde said weakly, "No! I owe him all this. As long as he is willing to forgive me!"
