The three of them got on the carriage, and Tong'er once again described the situation of each person in the Jiang Mansion and reminded them of the precautions.

They are truly worthy of being the Duke's guard of honor. Even if they only have half a set, they still attract many people to watch.

When the carriage was halfway there, Jiu Ning inadvertently looked up and saw Xiao Heng looking at him with a smile from a teahouse.

Jiu Ning immediately glared at the other person and lowered the curtain of the carriage without mercy.

She was still holding a grudge, and they actually arranged for her to live in such a shabby house. This matter would not be so easy to let go.

Xiao Heng, who was glared at, immediately asked unhappily, "What's going on? Why did she come to the Jiang residence?"

Wen Ji was hesitant and embarrassed to talk about arranging accommodation.

This can't be blamed on him, right? Their Duke's Mansion never kept women, nor did they have women to serve, so he naturally didn't dare to bring her to the guest room.

What's more, the honor guard is ready, so just find a place for them to rest, isn't that enough? He didn't think too much about it.

"Five Military Sticks." After saying that, Xiao Heng immediately walked down the teahouse.

Wen Ji had a bitter look on his face behind him, full of confusion: "Ah? Master, why?"

The carriage rumbled and soon arrived at the gate of Jiang's mansion. Perhaps everyone had heard about the Jiang family's affairs, so they gathered in front of the gate, waiting to watch the excitement!

Jiang Yuanbai was looking forward to it, while Ji Shuran had a gentle smile. When they saw the carriage stopped, Jiang Yuanbai wanted to go forward to greet it, but was stopped by someone.

"Don't worry, my husband. The person will be down soon." Ji Shuran's smile froze on her face for a moment, but she recovered quickly.

Jiang Yuanbai was unable to step forward, but someone did it for him. He saw Duke Suguo, dressed in red, striding towards the carriage.

After the carriage stopped, three people came out. One of them was wearing a veil and was helped out of the carriage.

"You can't leave now. His Majesty has ordered me to protect you!"

Xiao Heng was the first to stand in front of the masked woman and spoke in a low voice so that others could not hear.

Jiu Ning looked unfriendly, glanced at the other person, and raised his chin slightly.

"Just the spider room? I don't want it."

"I'll arrange new accommodation for you." Xiao Heng looked at Wen Ji with dissatisfaction.

"Where to stay?"

"Hmm! Inn..."

"Hmph! No!"

"Where do you want to live then?"

Xiao Heng couldn't help but soften his attitude and his tone became much gentler.

Seeing that his attitude was not bad, Jiu Ning thought for a moment and replied, "Duke Su, when you have bought a house, let me know and I will go back."

"Okay, wait for me for a few days!"

After saying this, Xiao Heng turned and walked towards Jiang Yuanbo: "Prime Minister Jiang, I have brought your daughter back safely. I will take my leave now!"

Jiang Yuanbai's eyes darkened. He didn't want to get involved with the other party. "Thank you, Duke Su, for escorting my daughter back home and giving her this half set of ceremonial equipment. I will prepare a special banquet for Duke Su someday."

Xiao Heng cupped his fists, smiled, and said, "You're welcome, Prime Minister. It's just a small favor. I have other things to do, so I'll go ahead."

"Duke Su, please!"

When Jiang Yuanbai looked in this direction, Xue Fangfei stepped forward and stood in front of Jiu Ning.

"Father, mother, are you all well? Ah Li hasn't been able to fulfill my filial duties by your side these past few years, and I feel deeply uneasy. I think I am being unfilial."

Xue Fangfei had a sad expression on her face. After greeting them, she knelt down and bowed to them.

Jiang Yuanbo immediately leaned over and helped the person up: "Hurry up, Li'er, why are you wearing the clothes of the Chaste Hall?"

Jiang Yuanbo was worried when he saw the man was thin and poorly dressed.

Ji Shuran showed a gentle smile and looked at the other person inconspicuously. Seeing that the other person was thin and his clothes were covered with dust, she couldn't help but feel a little disdainful.

After all, he grew up in the mountains and didn't care about his image at all. Then he noticed the two women following behind him and couldn't help but frown. Why did they look so shabby?

Jiang Yuanbai looked very unhappy and asked, "Why didn't you bring new clothes for Li'er?"

Ji Shuran smiled complacently at first, then her expression changed to one of reproach: "Didn't Mother Sun ask you to send new clothes?"

Mother Sun was quite good at reading people's expressions, and she immediately put on her eye drops without leaving any trace: "This old slave... This old slave clearly delivered it to the Second Young Lady personally. I guess the Second Young Lady doesn't like it very much, right?"

At this time, Ji Shuran's expression became a little gloomy, and she opened her mouth to complain to Jiang Yuanbo.

Jiu Ning was hiding behind Ji Shuran, looking at her gentle face, occasionally showing a fake smile, and when talking to Jiang Yuanbo, he looked virtuous and generous.

She has been pretending for so many years, and it must have become a habit. However, her father has never seen the person beside him clearly.

I don't know how Xue Fangfei will respond. I'm really worried for her. If she doesn't respond well, she will get a reputation of being disrespectful to her mother.

"After so many years, I guess the mother didn't know her daughter's size. Not a single piece of clothing fit her."

Xue Fangfei rejected Ji Shuran's words on the grounds that they were not suitable, and Jiu Ning felt relieved.

It also succeeded in changing Ji Shuran's expression and making Jiang Yuanbo angry.

Seeing that something was not right, Mother Sun gritted her teeth and took responsibility for the matter. In the end, it was only after Ji Shuran pleaded for mercy and found an excuse that she was able to save the person.

But when he turned around, his expression turned completely cold.

Afterwards, several people followed Jiang Yuanbai into the mansion and met the second and third wives.

The second wife, Jiang Yuanping, was born from the same mother as Jiang Yunbai, and his wife was surnamed Lu. The third wife, Jiang Yuanxing, was the illegitimate son of Old Master Jiang, and his wife was surnamed Yang. Tong'er had explained all this to Xue Fangfei in advance.

Xue Fangfei answered very appropriately. In this way, Jiu Ning followed the group, watching everyone greet each other, and unknowingly came to a rockery.

In order to get closer to Jiang Yuanbo, Xue Fangfei talked about climbing up the rock for fun and not daring to come down...

Unconsciously, Jiuning fell into memories, and the figure of her mother emerged in her mind.

I remember that when I was a child, I was playing around and climbed onto a rock. I didn’t dare to come down, so I started crying loudly. Finally, my father came, patiently coaxed me, and held me in his arms.

I still remember my father saying at that time: "As long as he is around, Li'er will never get hurt."

As she thought about it, Jiuning couldn't help feeling sad, but just when she was about to be moved by the family affection, she heard some harsh words.

"I remember that you were very stubborn when you were little. After you caused your mother to have a miscarriage, I advised you to admit your mistake. I thought that if you had just bowed to your mother, there would be no need to suffer all these years in the Chapel of the Virgins."

Xue Fangfei lowered her head, neither admitting nor arguing. At this moment, no matter what words she used, they seemed so powerless and pale.

Jiu Ning was afraid that he could not control his hatred and would be noticed by others, so he quietly retreated into the shadows and avoided everyone's sight.

She regretted that she shouldn't have come back. Even living in that spider house was better than here.

Jiang Yuanbai always felt that there was a vague gaze behind him, but every time he turned around to look for it, he couldn't find it.
