Transmigrated into a Prosperous Farm Wife, Pampered, Beautiful, Strong, and Tragic Prime Minister

"I'm not easily intimidated, otherwise I wouldn't have become a marquis from another family. If you've got the guts, come and try!"

Gu Nanfeng covered his wound and sneered.

"Lord Gu is really tough. Then I'll break your bones piece by piece and see how arrogant you can still be!"

After another fierce battle, Gu Nanfeng's trusted men protected him and broke through the gap.

"My lord, let's go!"

The horses galloped through the woods and quickly disappeared from sight. After the men in black dealt with the remaining men, they gave chase.

Gu Nanfeng absolutely cannot return to Shengjing alive.

……

……

Jiang family.

Jiang Hao originally planned to go out to buy alcohol and get drunk, but he was blocked in front of his own door.

"What does Mother want with me?" Jiang Hao asked, his beard unkempt and his appearance disheveled.

Looking at her dejected eldest son, Old Madam Jiang was furious.

"Hao'er, you are the eldest son of the Jiang family. It's one thing if you don't take responsibility, but look at the state you are in now."

Ever since Gu Nanzhi died, Jiang Hao has been like a cripple. She just couldn't understand how a woman could have such great power.

"Mother, I was wrong." Jiang Hao lowered his head and did not argue.

Madam Jiang breathed a sigh of relief. "You went and brought Jiang Changtian back. We can't let your child wander outside forever. We've heard so much gossip about him lately."

"If they don't want to come back, then let them stay outside."

Jiang Hao recalled the cold and resentful looks in the children's eyes, and felt a sharp pain in his heart.

He couldn't protect his children, which caused them to resent him. Why bother bringing them back to the Jiang family to suffer?

"What happened before was indeed a little excessive. I was just too angry after being deceived. But father and son can't hold grudges overnight. I can't keep ignoring you forever. Just think of it as me and your father's sake, and consider it my plea to you."

As she spoke, Madam Jiang fell backward.

Seeing this, Jiang Hao hurriedly went to help her, saying, "Mother, let me try."

Jiang Hao escorted the old lady back to her room and then ran into the second wife's niece in the courtyard.

"Great uncle."

"It's Xue'er. Is there something you need?" Jiang Hao asked.

Jiang Xue hesitated for a moment before asking, "Is Uncle going to find that older brother and Xiao Bao?"

Jiang Hao nodded.

Jiang Xue took a deep breath. "Uncle, have you ever considered that the eldest brother we've found might not be your child?"

She had carefully considered what she had heard from her grandmother these past few days, and the more she thought about it, the more alarmed she became.

Jiang Hao looked up, his expression grim. "How could this be? We've investigated everything. Changtian is my son. Xue'er, if your older brother comes back, please don't mention this kind of thing in front of him."

After saying that, he left.

Even if the children don't want to come back, it would be good for him to go and see them.

Jiang Miao ran over, "Big sister, why are you meddling in their family's business? Hurry up and teach me how to embroider that flower!"

Jiang Xue glanced at her grandparents' courtyard and felt that things weren't so simple.

Meanwhile, the academy.

Today is the last day at the academy, and we'll be off this afternoon. Jiang Changtian is eager to go home, and he even borrowed two books from the library at noon.

Brother Jiang, where are you living now?

It wasn't easy for get out of class to end, and before leaving, Chen Jingfeng called out to Jiang Changtian.

"Changchun Street".

Chen Jingfeng was also pleased to hear this. "I'm near Changchun Street, just two streets away. I appreciate your help along the way. If it's convenient, I'd like to treat you to a meal."

Jiang Changtian looked up at him.

Chen Jingfeng offered to explain, "I moved here from outside the city. Jinzi paid for the courtyard, but I've already paid him back. I still owe him this favor."

Chen Jingfeng felt embarrassed when he talked about it. Although he had returned the money, he still owed the person a favor.

Jiang Changtian had no intention of going alone, so he agreed.

Jinzi suddenly spoke up: "Chen Jingfeng, you're being a bit unfair. You're treating people to dinner, why didn't you take me with you?"

Chen Jingfeng was somewhat embarrassed, "I've already invited Brother Jiang, so it wouldn't be appropriate to invite Brother Jin as well."

The main reason is that Jiang Changtian seems quite aloof, and I'm afraid he might mind.

Jinzi was too enthusiastic, which made Chen Jingfeng very uncomfortable.

Xian'an stepped forward and said, "Since we all know each other, let's go together. I'll have my servants deliver all the things over there."

Xian'an knew that Chen Jingfeng also came from a poor background, so he was very considerate.

Seeing everyone's enthusiasm and insistence on going, Jiang Changtian didn't object, and Chen Jingfeng finally agreed.

As soon as they stepped out of the gate of Luming Academy, Xian'an greeted Jiang Changtian.

"Brother Changtian, where do you live? I'll take you home!"

Many students at the academy gate watched them curiously; the two were considered celebrities in Class Ding.

After all, while such things might happen in wealthy families, they wouldn't do it so openly.

Jiang Changtian found this person both talkative and annoying, so he ignored him and left with a dark expression.

Xian'an touched his nose.

It seems like I've been disliked for no reason.

The servant asked curiously, "Young master, who was that just now? Why didn't they even give you face?"

I don't think I've ever seen such a person before. For them to give their young master the cold shoulder, they must have some kind of background.

Xian'an, carrying a small jar, said, "Do you think your young master is some kind of hot commodity, loved by everyone? I'm exhausted, let's go home!"

He wanted to give these pickled vegetables to his aunt so that she would be happy and he could enjoy his life of wealth and luxury for a little longer.

……

……

royal palace.

"Your Highness, this was sent in from outside the palace by Young Master Xian."

A palace maid brought a small earthenware jar into the palace.

Sending things into the palace from outside is a major taboo, so other palaces naturally wouldn't dare to openly send things in from outside.

Consort Xian managed the affairs of the six palaces, and the Emperor favored that brat Xian'an, so everyone turned a blind eye.

"What has this brat sent to curry favor with me this time?"

Consort Xian found it very boring. Her daughter had been raised elsewhere since she was a child, and she could only see her occasionally. That's how it was for all the children in the royal family.

Xian'an would try to please her from time to time, and Consort Xian would naturally dote on Xian'an more.

Upon seeing the small jar presented by the palace maid, Consort Xian became even more curious. What was inside?

The palace maid was stunned when she opened it. This...

I've seen this kind of thing before, even in winter; pickled vegetables are a staple in the servants' meals.

Young Master Xian actually offered this to the Imperial Concubine.

"What is that? Let me see it."

Consort Xian didn't recognize the pickled vegetables at all. She took a sniff and said, "They smell quite good. Let me try some!"

Consort Xian had never eaten pickled vegetables since childhood, even in winter she had some vegetables grown in greenhouses.

Since the Empress wanted to eat it, and it was something sent from her own family, no one dared to say anything. After the eunuch who tested it for poison tasted it, Consort Xian took a bite.

Then, without even looking up, he finished the whole small jar of pickled vegetables.

After eating and drinking several cups of tea, she felt so full that she could hardly sit still.
