Jiang Xiyu heard Jiang Yuan's resentment and apologized with a helpless smile, "It's all my fault. It's true that I haven't come back to visit our little Yuan for several months. But I won't do that again in the future. I will come back to see you and father often."

In the past, she would return to the General's Mansion once a month or so, but after hearing that Xu Rui had died in battle, she was so sad that she had no intention of coming back. In addition, after her rebirth, so many things happened, and everything happened at the same time.

Jiang Yuan wasn't really angry with Jiang Xiyu. After hearing her words, he quickly laughed again, "Sister, you said that."

"Yes, my sister said so." Jiang Xiyu looked at Jiang Yuan with a doting look.

Jiang Yuan and Jiang Xiyu stayed together for a while before they saw Xu Rui standing next to them. They were a little surprised and just bowed to him lightly, "Brother-in-law."

Xu Rui smiled and imitated Jiang Xiyu by patting Jiang Yuan's head, "Hmm."

Jiang Yuan was stunned and very surprised by his behavior.

You know, Xu Rui rarely accompanied Jiang Xiyu back to the general's mansion before. Even if he occasionally accompanied her back, he was always cold. He had never been so gentle.

Jiang Yuan took a step back reflexively. Not being able to touch Xu Rui, his hand froze for a moment, but he quickly let it go.

Jiang Xiyu did not try to help. When she saw Jiang Kun, who had white hair on his temples not far away, her eyes instantly turned red.

In his previous life, Jiang Kun gave her everything he had. Not only did he give her everything in the general's mansion as a dowry, he also tried his best to help Xu Rui become the general of Yun Dynasty. However, her heart was devoted to Xu Rui, and she finally died alone in the Yonglin Marquis Mansion.

She couldn't even imagine how heartbroken Jiang Kun, who loved her dearly, would be after learning about her tragic death in the Yonglin Marquis Mansion.

And Jiang Yuan, I don’t know how sad he will cry.

She was too stupid. She did so many stupid things for Xu Rui. In this life, she would definitely protect her life and never let herself fall into such a situation again.

Jiang Xiyu calmed down for a moment and walked over to Jiang Kun, bowing and saying, "Father."

Xu Rui also hurriedly followed and bowed, "Father-in-law."

Jiang Kun only glanced at Xu Rui, then looked at Jiang Xiyu with heartache, "Let's go into the mansion first and talk."

"Okay, Father."

Jiang Xiyu stepped forward obediently and pushed Jiang Kun's wheelchair, but Xu Rui got there first and said, "Let me do it."

After looking at the changed Xu Rui for a while, Jiang Xiyu said nothing, let go, and followed him into the mansion.

As soon as he arrived at the main hall, Jiang Kun instructed the housekeeper, "Go ask the chef to prepare some more of the young lady's favorite dishes.

"Yes."

When Jiang Xiyu came back, the housekeeper who had watched her grow up was also very happy and went out excitedly.

After a while, the butler returned with a tray and asked mysteriously, "Miss, look what this old servant has brought you."

Jiang Xiyu leaned in to smell it, her eyes suddenly brightening, "It's peach blossom cake and peach blossom honey tea."

The housekeeper looked at her lovingly and smiled, "Young Miss is so smart."

As he spoke, he placed the peach blossom cake and honey tea in front of Jiang Xiyu. "What a coincidence! It seems the chef knew Miss was coming back today, so he made your favorite dish. Miss, please try it and see if it still tastes like you."

Jiang Xiyu raised her hand and picked up a piece of cake. After tasting it carefully, she took a sip of honey tea and said with a smile, "It's delicious. I haven't eaten it for a long time. I finally have it again. Thank you, Uncle Lin."

"As long as Miss likes it." Uncle Lin's wrinkles appeared on his face as he smiled.

When Jiang Kun saw Jiang Xiyu's satisfied look, a rare smile appeared on his face.

Jiang Yuan was a little stunned.

I remember that since my mother passed away seven years ago, my father has never smiled again. He only smiles when he sees Jiang Xiyu's face.

Uncle Lin smiled and continued, "Miss, the peach blossoms in the yard bloomed a few days ago, and he asked this old servant to pick a lot for you, thinking that when you come back, you can bring some back."

Jiang Xiyu looked at Jiang Kun very moved, "Thank you, father."

Jiang Kun looked at her lovingly and said, "I know you love it the most, so I asked the kitchen to make more so you can eat more."

"Okay." Jiang Xiyu agreed with a smile.

I unconsciously took a few more and stuffed them into my mouth, and my eyes became a little red.

It had been a long time since she had eaten peach blossom cake. It still had a familiar taste, the taste of home.

Xu Rui sat next to her and looked at Jiang Xiyu, who was smiling like a child here. He felt as if he had never seen such a smile before, and he couldn't help feeling uncomfortable.

This was a smile he had never seen in the Yonglin Marquis Mansion, and Jiang Xiyu had never shown it in front of him.

Is it because of those things and people when she was in Yonglin Marquis Mansion that made her unhappy every day?

Thinking back to when she first married into the Marquis's Mansion, every time she saw him, she would be shy like a little girl. When there was something happy, she would also smile brightly. But she didn't know when it started, she never smiled again.

Every day is filled with frowns and dullness.

"Master Hou?"

When Xu Rui was distracted, Jiang Xiyu called him several times. When Xu Rui came back to his senses, he looked at her blankly. Jiang Xiyu reminded him, "Father asks you a question."

Xu Rui quickly looked at Jiang Kun apologetically, "I'm sorry, what did father-in-law just say?"

Jiang Kun frowned and glanced at Xu Rui, "But you didn't sleep well last night?"

Xu Rui was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Jiang Xiyu bitterly, and pursed his lips with difficulty, "It's true that I didn't sleep well."

Jiang Xiyu, who was eating peach cake, had a twitching mouth. The peach cake in her hand no longer smelled good. She glared at him and happened to see Xu Rui's aggrieved eyes. Jiang Xiyu was speechless.

Is this man crazy now? Does he know what he is talking about?

In her previous life she would have been happy, but now she just feels extremely disgusted.

Jiang Kun observed their interactions and felt that there seemed to be problems in their relationship. He frowned slightly and said, "I heard that you brought a woman back with you this time."

Jiang Xiyu suddenly found it interesting, and the peach cake in her hand smelled fragrant again.

I want you to come back with me, to embarrass your father and make him feel awkward.

Xu Rui was not at all flustered and explained calmly, "Indeed, she was brought back. She is the legitimate daughter of the Hongzhou governor."

"Lin Songwen, the governor of Hongzhou?"

Jiang Kun narrowed his eyes frivolously, and his dark eyes stared at Xu Rui sharply without blinking, as if he wanted to see through him.

Facing Jiang Kun's gaze, the scheming Xu Rui couldn't help but feel frightened in his heart. He pretended to be calm and said, "Yes. When I fell off the cliff, it was Lord Lin and his daughter who saved me. They are my saviors."

Jiang Kun narrowed his dark eyes and said coldly, "So you want to change your father-in-law?"

"Cough cough..." Jiang Xiyu was choked by these words and started coughing violently again.

Xu Rui was also frightened by Jiang Kun's words and shook his head, "No, I don't have such an idea. I have rejected the marriage proposal from His Majesty."
