Guan Suyi, afraid that he would ask too many questions, changed the subject and talked about the group of people from before.

"There's one more thing. I've sent someone out. Don't worry about it. Once they're back, just take good care of yourself."

Guan Xiuyu originally wanted to ask about his nephew, but then he thought of something and decided to find him first.

"Sigh." Guan Xiuyu couldn't help but sigh again.

My younger sister was pampered and spoiled since she was a child. After she got married, Chang Tian treated her like a precious gem. Apart from her poor health, she had never suffered any hardship.

That year, the Chang family suddenly encountered misfortune, and the younger sister endured all the hardships she could.

Fortunately, God still has eyes. As long as Chang Tian is still alive, there is hope for everything.

As for the Lin family matter, we'll talk about it later.

……

……

"Brother Jiang, thank you for taking care of us along the way. It's time for us to leave now."

Chen Jingfeng was saying goodbye to Jiang Changtian and his group.

Jiang Changtian asked, "What are your plans after this?"

Along the way, Jiang Changtian also discovered that Chen Jingfeng was a very learned person and a rather upright person.

Chen Jingfeng paused for a moment but didn't hide his plans. "Let's find an inn to stay in first. If we can pass the exam at Luming Academy, we'll rent a courtyard in Shengjing and I'll study there."

Chen Jingfeng is quite learned, and if he's lucky, he could get into Luming Academy.

We might even become classmates someday.

"Your health isn't very good yet. Remember to rest well during this time. Maybe we'll have a chance to meet again," Jiang Changtian said.

Chen Jingfeng smiled and nodded, "I also hope to see Brother Jiang again."

Chen Ting looked at Xiao Qing with some reluctance and took off a butterfly hairpin from her hair.

"Brother Xiaoqing, this is for you to thank you for taking care of me along the way."

This was the most handsome man she had ever seen, but unfortunately he was uneducated and had no official rank.

At sixteen or seventeen, Chen Ting is already at the age of puberty, and it's understandable that she might overthink things since this is her first time interacting with a man other than Chen Jingfeng.

"No need, take your things back."

Xiaoqing was puzzled. Why would she give him a hairpin out of the blue?

He's not a woman, he doesn't need this.

The old housekeeper hurriedly reminded her, "Miss Ting, a young lady's things shouldn't be given away casually."

When Chen Jingfeng looked over, Chen Ting blinked.

"I was thinking of getting to know him. I'm friends with Xiaoqing, and he's taken such good care of me, so I thought I'd leave him a keepsake. But it didn't seem to be in accordance with the rules, so I won't leave him."

Seeing that everyone was staring at her, Chen Ting put the hairpin in her hair.

"So, will you all be staying with the Jiang family from now on? We've just arrived in Shengjing and don't know anyone here. If we get bored, can we come visit you?"

Chen Ting looked at Gu Bao and the other two.

Gu Chen's expression was not good, and he was about to refuse when he heard Jiang Hao speak up from the side.

"If this young lady has anything to say, she can just ask someone to come to the Jiang residence to deliver a message."

Jiang Hao readily agreed when he saw that it was his son's friend.

"Thank you, Uncle Jiang." Chen Ting's address of "Uncle" startled Jiang Hao for a moment.

However, seeing that it was a young girl, he didn't say much.

"Goodbye, Brother Xiaoqing."

Goodbye, Brother Changtian.

Chen Ting greeted Jiang Changtian and Xiao Qing; in any case, she only saw these two men and couldn't see anyone else.

"I feel goosebumps all over. Sister Cijing is finally gone." Qin Niangzi rubbed her arms.

Jiang Hao said excitedly to the children, especially Jiang Changtian, "Home is just ahead. I'll take you home quickly."

Jiang Changtian said, "It's getting late, let's find an inn to stay for the night."

"It's not too late, just in time for dinner. Everyone at home is probably waiting." Jiang Hao looked at the butler beside him.

Butler Jiang lowered his head and said, "Indeed, I have already sent word home that the young masters can go back directly."

Jiang Changtian didn't want to go, but Jiang Hao insisted on going to the Jiang family first, while Lin Shuyun didn't care.

She can go anywhere, anyway.

Xiaoqing asked from the side, "Are you going home? Should we go with you?"

He didn't want to go to the Jiang family. His face wasn't disguised, and there was no guarantee that the Jiang family wouldn't recognize him.

Besides, he's not used to living in someone else's house.

“You are all relatives of the Lin family, and also relatives of the Jiang family. You can go to the Jiang family as guests first.”

Jiang Hao only vaguely knew that these people were Lin Shuyun's elders.

If you really think about it, they're practically related by marriage.

"No, we're going to stay at an inn, the one up ahead."

Qin Niangzi pointed to the very obvious guest cup in front.

Old Xu also spoke up, "I won't go and join the fun. What kind of nonsense is it for us poor relatives to go to someone else's house? People who don't know better would think we're trying to freeload. We'll just wait for you at the inn."

Then he looked at Lin Shuyun and asked, "Yun girl, do you want to stay with us or with this kid Changtian?"

"I will follow my husband wherever he goes, whether he marries a chicken or a dog."

Lin Shuyun smiled at Jiang Changtian, still holding Gu Bao and Gu Ru's hands.

Gu Bao could only calm down when his hand was being held.

Gu Ru was somewhat better, but she was still clearly afraid when she heard about going back to the Jiang family.

As for Gu Chen, his eyes were filled with surging hatred.

"I knew this would be the result," Qin Niangzi muttered to herself. They went to the inn first.

Jiang Hao arrived at the Jiang residence with his men.

Lin Shuyun looked up and saw that the Jiang family's house was not very big, at most a three-courtyard house, and the gate looked a bit dilapidated.

Jiang Hao had assumed his family would be waiting, but when they arrived, there was no one at the door, and the door was tightly shut.

Lin Shuyun looked around the house. She had learned about the Jiang family's messy affairs from the three children, and she felt that this seemingly upright Jiang family was probably not as noble as they appeared on the surface.

This is exactly how the Qingliu family operates; they didn't expect to give us such a hard time right from the start.

Jiang Hao knocked on the door for a long time, but no one answered.

"Butler, are you sure you've notified my mother and the others?" Jiang Hao's expression was rather grim.

"This...is confirmed." Butler Jiang said, head bowed.

He had already sent the message; as for what the master and madam thought, he had no say in it.

Jiang Hao was already furious. "Then why isn't the front door open? Did you give the wrong time, and your family thinks we're not coming back today?"

"This this……"

Before Steward Jiang could explain, the door opened a crack, and a servant-looking person came out.

"Master is back." The servant bowed to Jiang Hao.

"Sir, you can come in through the front door, and the rest of you can come in through the side door."
