"Go ahead, let Sister Shanying take you there." After saying that, Jiang Fugui called out softly towards the main house door, "Shanying, take good care of the Third Young Master."

Shan Ying stood at the door of the main house and responded, "I understand, young lady."

Jiang Zihai opened the door of the main house and ran away, with Shanying and Xianggui following after him.

Shantu closed the door of the main house again, walked a few steps away, and waited in the corridor.

The smile on Jiang Fugui's face faded a little, not as warmly as before. As he sat on the stool, a bit of coldness emanated from him.

After pondering for a while, Jiang Fugui raised his eyebrows slightly, his eyes widened, and the corners of his mouth curled up as he said, "Auntie Dong, my son is alone now. Would you be willing to talk to me about your personal matters? You brought food with you today, but you didn't come to visit just to scare me, right?"

Aunt Dong was slightly startled, and there was already a hint of panic in her expression. Had her true purpose been seen through?

I didn't expect that the second young lady, despite being so small, could be so meticulous?

However, Aunt Dong was only panicked for a moment and then regained her composure.

She adjusted the sleeves and hem of her dress, stood up, took three steady steps back, then bowed with both hands and knelt respectfully to Jiang Fugui.

Jiang Fugui had never imagined such a scene would happen. He was so frightened that he half stood up and tried to help Aunt Dong, who was halfway kneeling, to stand up.

"Madam Dong, what are you doing? Get up! This is not polite."

But Aunt Dong seemed to have not heard anything and was still determined to complete the kneeling ceremony.

Jiang Fugui was small and naturally not very strong, so he was unable to stop Aunt Dong's actions. He could only squat in front of her and let her complete the kneeling ceremony.

You should know that in Dafeng, this kind of kneeling ceremony, bowing and prostrating, is usually performed by younger generations to pay homage to respected elders. There are three rituals in total. After tidying up their appearance and clothes, they kneel down with a bow, then prostrate themselves on the ground, and then slowly sit up from their knees until they stand up. This needs to be repeated three times to be completely completed.

Although Aunt Dong is the concubine of Jiang Shusen, the second wife, and has no direct relationship with Jiang Fugui, they are still from the same Jiang Mansion. In terms of seniority, she can be considered as half of his elder.

If elders show such great courtesy to younger ones, it will truly reduce their blessings and lifespan, and damage their good karma.

Since Jiang Fugui failed to pull Aunt Dong up the first time, he was unable to do the next two times and could only watch her bow to him three times.

"Madam Dong, you are really embarrassing me! I am still young and cannot handle such a grand gift!"

"No, Second Young Miss deserves it." Aunt Dong's eyes had already reddened since she hadn't known when, tears lingered on the edge, ready to fall at any moment. When she spoke again, her voice was choked with sobs, "Thank you, Second Young Miss, for saving my son. I will never be able to repay you in this lifetime. If Second Young Miss needs you in the future, I am willing to be your vanguard, your sword in your hand!"

Jiang Fugui immediately understood that Jiang Zihai must have told Aunt Dong everything that happened last night, which was why she was in such a hurry to pay her respects today. She really wanted to thank him for coming.

"Mrs. Dong, this is serious. If Jiang Luoyu hadn't tricked me into going to your manor yesterday, I wouldn't have saved Hai'er by accident."

Jiang Fugui helped Aunt Dong sit back on the stool and treated saving people as a very normal thing. Although she guessed some of Jiang Wei's plans, there were still some other things that she didn't know.
