Reborn, meet you again!

On this side, Jiang Wanqiao's father Jiang Zheng and mother Liu were warmly received by the Pei family as soon as they arrived at the Marquis' Mansion.

As soon as the two men got off the carriage, energetic servants stood at the gate to greet them. After greeting them respectfully, they carefully arranged the carriage for them.

Then, Pei Qingyan personally led the two of them through the long front hall and towards the main hall.

This was the first time for Jiang Zheng and Liu to enter the Marquis' Mansion.

Seeing that everyone in the Marquis' Mansion obviously attached great importance to their arrival, a smile from the heart appeared on his face.

After all, the fact that they are valued shows that my daughter is indeed living a good life in the Marquis' Mansion.

Although my daughter has been praising the Pei family in letters home for the past three years, she is a filial daughter and only reports good news and not bad news.

They couldn't help but feel a little worried.

Today, I saw it with my own eyes and knew that what my daughter said was true.

When the three of them arrived at the main hall, they saw Madam Pei and Marquis Pei already waiting there.

Mrs. Pei stood up with a smile on her face and walked to Liu's side and spoke enthusiastically.

"Finally I get to meet my in-laws."

"Yesterday I was thinking that Wan Qiaosheng must have inherited his parents' good looks to be so pretty. Seeing him today, I can see that it's indeed the case."

Although Mrs. Pei wanted to get close to Liu, what she said was true.

Liu is nearly forty years old, but her skin is still as smooth and delicate as the silk from the south of the Yangtze River. Her eyebrows and eyes are beautiful and graceful. One can get a glimpse of how stunning she was in her youth at a glance.

Liu felt Mrs. Pei's enthusiasm and had a smile on her face that was as warm as spring breeze, but she didn't say much.

"You are too kind, ma'am."

He then sat down beside Jiang Zheng, took the tea brought by the maid, and remained silent.

Seeing her like this, Mrs. Pei thought she was introverted and not good at speaking, and sneered in her heart.

It is true that like mother, like daughter. They are all things that are not presentable.

It's just a nice-looking decoration.

But he said.

"You are too modest, my dear. Wan Qiao's appearance is second to none even in Kyoto!"

Then, she turned her gaze to Jiang Zheng.

"And Wan Qiao is not only sensible and filial, but also a good housekeeper."

"For the past three years, thanks to her helping me manage the Marquis' Mansion, I was able to take a break! I guess she must have learned this skill from my father-in-law!"

Seeing that her daughter's mother-in-law recognized her so much, Jiang Zheng was very happy. She laughed heartily and said modestly.

"Madam, you are too kind. My daughter has been spoiled since she was a child and is not very sensible. If there is anything she does not do well, Madam, please give her some pointers and your son-in-law will bear with her!"

Lord Pei also spoke at the right time, cooperating with Madam Pei in speaking polite words.

"Brother, what are you talking about? If it weren't for the Jiang family's help, our mansion wouldn't be where it is today."

"The Jiang family has been so kind to us, and our mansion will definitely treat Wan Qiao as our own daughter!"

Lord Pei said this and looked at Pei Qingyan again.

"Qingyan, you are where you are today thanks to Wanqiao's filial piety at home. A son-in-law is like a half-son. Why don't you go and pay your respects to your father-in-law and mother-in-law to show your gratitude!"

"The Jiang family has moved to Shangjing now. You must bring Wanqiao back to visit more often in the future, understand?"

Pei Qingyan was wearing a white brocade robe today, and he looked very dignified and decent.

Hearing what Lord Pei said, he stood up solemnly and said

"Yes, father!"

Then he bowed to Jiang Zheng and Liu.

"I'm meeting my father-in-law and mother-in-law. Thank you for agreeing to marry Wan Qiao to me!"

"It is my lifelong blessing to marry a virtuous wife like Wan Qiao!"

Seeing this, Jiang Zheng hurriedly stood up and helped him up.

"We've already met on the way here. We're all family. There's no need to be so formal, son-in-law!"

After the two of them recommended each other for a while, Jiang Zhengcai asked in confusion.

"But uncle, why hasn't Qiao Qiao come out yet?"

He hasn't seen his daughter for three years and he misses his precious daughter very much.

I just talked to the Pei family for a while, but my daughter still hasn't come out.

He was really anxious.

Pei Qingyan smiled bitterly, seeming to feel a little guilty when he heard this.

"It's all my son-in-law's fault. I wanted to personally pick you two up today and then tell Wan Qiao so that I could give her a surprise."

"Who knew that the servants just reported back that Wan Qiao went out early this morning with the two maids."

"But don't worry, father-in-law. I've already sent someone to look for her at the shop where she usually buys those rouge and jewelry pieces. I'm sure she'll be back soon!"

Originally, he was still wondering how to arrange someone to lure Jiang Wanqiao out.

Who would have thought that in the past two days, she had been going out early and coming back late every day, taking people to clean up the Jiang family's new house, which actually saved him a lot of trouble.

Jiang Zheng was a little surprised that his daughter was not waiting for him at home.

But he didn't ask any more questions. He just sat down and continued chatting with Lord Pei and Pei Qingyan.

During this period, the Pei family praised Jiang Wanqiao endlessly.

Jiang Zheng was extremely satisfied with Pei Qingyan, who was handsome and polite, just like when he came to propose marriage three years ago, and did not look down on them because of his military achievements.

It seems that the Ningyuan Marquis Mansion is indeed a reliable and good family as my daughter said. My daughter finally did not marry the wrong person.

The Jiang family will finally have a support in Beijing in the future.

But as she was saying this, Mrs. Pei realized that the time was almost up and suddenly sighed.

"Speaking of which, it's a blessing for our mansion that you two have brought up Wan Qiao so well!"

"Everyone in our mansion remembers her kindness."

"It's just that something unexpected happened these days, and this child seems to have become a different person..."

"Fortunately, my in-laws are here now. I hope they and my wife can persuade the child and not let her have any wrong ideas."

Jiang Zheng didn't know that Pei Qingyan was going to take a concubine, so he was quite confused when he heard this.

"What do you mean, Madam? What happened to Qiao Qiao?"

Mrs. Pei showed a hint of guilt on her face.

Now that the Jiang family has come to Beijing, Shen Jiahe and Pei Qingyan’s marriage will certainly not be hidden from the Jiang family.

Instead of waiting for Jiang Wanqiao to complain, it would be better for them to "confess" everything first!

"To be honest, my dear, I was wrong in the beginning. When Yan'er was fighting in Mobei, he rescued the daughter of our Pei family's old friend, the Shen family, from the battlefield."

"That child also had a miserable life. She was originally betrothed by the late emperor to the King of Mobei, who was old enough to be her grandfather."

"Later, when Tianqi and Mobei went to war, she took the opportunity to escape and returned to Beijing with the Mobei army."

"The Shen family is full of loyal and brave people, and now she is the only one left. The Marquis and I have watched her grow up, and we couldn't bear to see her go, so we took her into the mansion and temporarily settled her there."

"What can I do?... The current Empress Dowager is the cousin of this girl from the Shen family. After learning about this, she insisted on finding a support for her for the rest of her life. She issued an imperial decree to give her to my son as his concubine..."
