When Xiuzhu came out of Hongyan Garden, his little face was still very red.

However, Jiang Wantang's face was extremely gloomy, and he couldn't hide the murderous emotion in his eyes.

Although Xiuzhu didn't understand, he didn't dare to ask.

……

Pingyang Houfu.

Xiao Jingheng had just returned home and before he had time to pay his respects to the elders in the mansion, he was stopped by his personal attendant Huai'an.

The latter said anxiously: "Oh, my young master!"

"You're finally back. If you'd been a few days late, your fiancée would have belonged to someone else."

Jamel Xiao stopped and frowned: “Fiancée?”

"It's the Miss Jiang you've been thinking about so much!"

"Sir, there are rumors in the capital that Miss Jiang has set her sights on the Emperor and is on a hunger strike at home, clamoring to enter the palace for the imperial selection."

"I sent someone to the Prime Minister's residence to investigate, and this... is indeed true!"

"Son..."

Jamel Xiao raised his hand to interrupt him, and said indifferently: "I know."

Then he walked towards the backyard.

that's all?!

Hearing this, Huai'an was stunned for a moment, a little bit unable to believe his ears.

He knew best how much his young master loved and cherished the eldest daughter of the Jiang family over the years.

This reaction... shouldn't happen!

Huai'an scratched his head and hurriedly chased after him.

"Master, Master!"

"What did you know?!"

"Are you sure you know?!!"

Huai'an followed behind him, panting and speaking anxiously: "Sir, please walk slower and wait for me..."

"You don't know, the second young lady of the Jiang family who was raised in the countryside is back!"

"Not only did he come back, but he also stole the spotlight at Miss Jiang's birthday party?

"People in the Prime Minister's Mansion said that this country Second Miss is rude and vulgar. She bullied Miss Jiang as soon as she came back..."

Huai'an was chattering loudly in the back, but Xiao Jingheng in the front suddenly stopped, turned around in surprise and grabbed his arm with such force that his finger bones trembled slightly.

"What did you just say?!" Xiao Jingheng's eyes suddenly narrowed and his gaze trembled.

Huai'an was stunned for a moment: "Miss Jiang was bullied..."

"last sentence!"

"That rural second daughter of the Jiang family stole the spotlight at the eldest daughter's birthday party..."

Before Huai'an finished speaking, he saw Xiao Jingheng striding out of the mansion.

"Hey, where are you going, Master?"

When he saw the direction he rode away, Huai'an suddenly understood and said with a smile, "That's the right reaction!"

He said, how could his son be indifferent to Miss Jiang's affairs.

The young master couldn't bear to see Miss Jiang being wronged.

Now that he heard that his sweetheart was being bullied, he must have gone to support her.

A hero saves a beautiful woman and wins her heart in the process...

Huai'an walked into the mansion with a smile.

……

At dusk, the setting sun shines.

When Jiang Wantang brought Xiuzhu back home, they had both changed back into women's attire.

As they reached the gate of the courtyard, a servant came forward and reported, "Second Miss, Master Xiao from the Pingyang Marquisate is visiting today and wants to see you."

Jiang Wantang was stunned for a moment when he heard the second half of the sentence, with a hint of surprise in his eyes: "You said, Xiao Jingheng came to the mansion... to see me?"

The servant nodded and said, "Yes, Second Miss."

Jiang Wantang curled her lips and chuckled, "You must have heard wrongly. Young Marquis Xiao and I are strangers. He should be looking for Miss Jiang Wanfu."

The servant also felt strange. Could it be that he had heard it wrong?

He scratched his head, but before he could answer, Jiang Wantang asked, "Do you know where my brother is right now?"

"Miss, the eldest master just returned not long ago and should be in the ancestral hall now." The servant said respectfully.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Wantang turned and walked towards the Prime Minister's Ancestral Hall.

Walking into the empty ancestral hall, I could see the tall figure of Jiang Huaizhou from afar.

He changed into a green uniform and was holding a tablet in his hand, wiping it gently.

The afterglow of the setting sun shone through the window, casting a golden halo on him.

It should have been a peaceful and tranquil picture, but for some reason, Jiang Wantang saw deep loneliness and sadness from his back.

Jiang Wantang noticed that the tablet in his hand was obviously smaller than the others in the ancestral hall, and it was obviously not that of his biological mother, Shen.

If it wasn't his biological mother, then who could it be?

Jiang Wantang slowly walked forward and called softly, "Brother..."

Jiang Huaizhou finally came to his senses after she called him like that.

He subconsciously put the tablet down in a hurry. The moment he put it down, Jiang Wantang noticed with his sharp eyes that he put it behind the tablet of his biological mother, Shen.

There were no words on the tablet, it was an empty tablet.

It looks like the two tablets have been merged into one, making it difficult to detect the clue.

Jiang Wantang's pupils widened slightly, and a hint of surprise flashed across her eyes, but she quickly looked away.

Jiang Huaizhou turned around and saw the person coming. A gentle smile instantly appeared on his face. He said, "Tang'er, welcome home!"

As he spoke, he waved towards Jiang Wantang: "Come here quickly, let me take a look."

Jiang Wantang walked up to him as he was told.

Jiang Huaizhou looked her up and down with an admiring look in his eyes: "Girls really change a lot when they grow up!"

"It's been a while since I last saw you. Tang'er has grown into such a beautiful young lady!"

"My brother almost didn't recognize his sister."

Hearing this, Jiang Wantang's eyes suddenly became warm.

Yeah, it's been a long time...
