In fact, Jiang Kun once told her that he could formally teach Jiang Yuan martial arts when he was seven years old, but the death of his mother a few years ago made Jiang Kun depressed for a long time.

Now that he is willing to teach Jiang Yuan martial arts, does it also mean that his father has gotten over the grief of his mother's death?

Soon, Jiang Yuan came out of the house holding clothes.

Jiang Xiyu ordered Qing'er, "Go find a pair of scissors and get some needle and thread."

Qing'er quickly went to get the needle and thread, "Madam, let me do the revision."

"No need, I'll do it myself." Jiang Xiyu took the scissors and started to make changes.

She made the clothes herself, and no one knew the required sizes better than she did, and she was also faster at making alterations.

Jiang Xiyu was altering clothes, Qing'er was helping her, and Jiang Yuan sat next to her to entertain her.

"Sister, is your brother-in-law good to you?" Jiang Yuan asked Jiang Xiyu while supporting his head.

"Not bad." Jiang Xiyu answered without raising her head.

Jiang Yuan thought of something and leaned over to ask, "Then the woman he brought back didn't give you any trouble, did she?"

Jiang Xiyu didn't expect Jiang Yuan to ask this question suddenly. She raised her eyes and glared at him, "You little kid, stop asking about these things."

Jiang Yuan pouted and said, "I'm just concerned about you."

Jiang Xiyu knew in her heart that Jiang Yuan cared about her, but she didn't want to tell others about the dirty things she had encountered in the Yonglin Marquis Mansion, so as not to make Jiang Kun and Jiang Yuan worry about her.

Qing'er didn't know what Jiang Xiyu was thinking. Seeing that Jiang Xiyu had returned to the Jiang family and someone was supporting and caring for her, she couldn't help but stand up for Jiang Xiyu, "Master, you must..."

Before she could finish, Jiang Xiyu glanced at her. Qing'er received her gaze and dared not say anything more.

Jiang Yuan also saw that Jiang Xiyu didn't want Qing'er to speak, so he said directly to Qing'er, "Qing'er, tell me everything you know."

Qing'er didn't dare to speak carelessly. She pursed her lips and looked up, saying, "Young Master, don't worry. No one dares to embarrass Madam in the Marquis' Mansion. His Majesty wanted to arrange a marriage for Miss Lin, but the Marquis refused. In the Marquis' heart, our Madam is still the most important. As for Miss Lin, she can't cause any big trouble in the Marquis' Mansion."

In fact, what she said was not wrong. Lin Rouyu was not in good health now. Although she was a restless person, she was in poor health. After coming to the Yonglin Marquis Mansion, she spent most of her time lying in bed and could not cause any big noise for the time being.

Jiang Yuan felt much more relieved.

"Sister, if they bully you in the future, just come back. The door of our general's mansion will always be open to you."

Her words made Jiang Xiyu's eyes red in an instant.

In their previous life, they were also waiting for her in the general's mansion, but what they finally waited for was the news of her death and her dead head.

At the end of her previous life, she wrote a letter of divorce to Xu Rui, but she didn't know whether Xu Rui would take her body back to his father and others.

She hoped that in her previous life, she would end up in the Jiang family's ancestral tomb instead of the Xu family's.

"Sister, what's wrong with you?" Seeing Jiang Xiyu's red eyes, Jiang Yuan asked worriedly.

Jiang Xiyu came back to her senses and quickly calmed down. She looked at Jiang Yuan and asked, "Is Father doing well recently? Is he still visiting Mother every day?"

Jiang Yuan nodded, a hint of worry etched across his brow. "Now Dad stays in Mom's room every day, staying there for most of the day. Sometimes he even refuses to eat."

Jiang Xiyu suddenly frowned.

She thought that Jiang Kun was willing to teach Jiang Yuan martial arts because he was full of hope for life again and perhaps had begun to forget his mother's death.

But the result seemed different from what she expected.

Could it be that Jiang Kun didn't rekindle his hope for life at all, but had completely lost all hope for life, so he wanted Jiang Yuan to practice martial arts, and then...

As soon as Jiang Xiyu thought of this possibility, her face turned pale.

But she also felt that she was overthinking it. After all, in her previous life, Jiang Kun did not die before she died, so it was all just her overthinking.

Seeing Jiang Xiyu's face suddenly change, Jiang Yuan was frightened by her and asked anxiously, "Sister, what's wrong with you?"

Jiang Xiyu didn't say what she was thinking. She raised her hand to wipe away her tears and looked at the worried Jiang Yuan in front of her. After thinking for a while, she said, "Xiaoyuan, I know you like practicing martial arts, but can you promise me that you won't practice so hard in the future?"

"Why?" Jiang Yuan was confused by what Jiang Xiyu said and looked at her in confusion.

Normally, shouldn't he be urged to practice martial arts diligently? Why is he suddenly told not to work hard?

Jiang Xiyu explained in a low voice.

"I'm not telling you not to study hard. I'm just saying that you shouldn't work as hard in front of your father, or that you should make more mistakes when he's testing you. But when he's not around, you can work as hard as you can, even in private, as long as you don't let him know."

Jiang Yuan was still confused by Jiang Xiyu's words and asked bewilderedly, "Why can't I let my father see it?"

Jiang Xiyu looked at Jiang Yuan in front of her. He looked like a little adult and was no longer the child he used to be. He was now the young master of the general's mansion and would have to support the mansion in the future. There were some things she should let him know.

Jiang Xiyu looked at Jiang Yuan with a serious expression and explained, "I'm afraid that my father has other purposes for teaching you martial arts now. I don't want my father to be able to let us go."

Jiang Yuan understood something instantly, his expression changed drastically, and he looked at Jiang Xiyu nervously, "Sister, you mean that after my father taught me this, he would want to commit suicide."

Qing'er was also shocked by Jiang Yuan's words and looked at the two of them in disbelief.

Seeing that Jiang Yuan was frightened, Jiang Xiyu quickly comforted him, "I'm just guessing all this, or maybe I'm wrong. I'm just worried that my mother's death was a huge blow to my father. It's been five years, but he still hasn't gotten over it. I'm afraid that when we're independent and we don't need him anymore, he won't be able to bear the thought of accompanying my mother."

Jiang Yuan was stunned for several seconds.

He had never thought that Jiang Kun would commit suicide, because in his impression, after his mother passed away, Jiang Kun and Jiang Xiyu were his support. Jiang Kun, in particular, was like a mountain. Thinking that this mountain might fall, Jiang Yuan panicked instantly, "Sister, I will definitely listen to you and never practice martial arts seriously again."

Jiang Xiyu comforted him, "That's not necessary. You can practice secretly. As long as you don't let your father see you, and don't use your full strength during the test, it will be fine."

He knew that Jiang Yuan loved martial arts and had always admired Jiang Kun. She couldn't bear to ruin his future, nor did she want to neglect his martial arts training.

Jiang Yuan nodded obediently.

While they were talking, Jiang Kun and Xu Rui were playing chess, and the game was nearing its end.

After Jiang Kun placed a piece, he instantly broke the formation that Xu Rui had specially set up.

"you lose."

Xu Rui praised, "Father-in-law is an excellent chess player. I admire him very much."
