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

"It collapsed? Did the earth dragon turn over?"

Jiang Changtian exclaimed in surprise.

The person outside the door said, "No, it's just that the Second Prince's residence suddenly collapsed."

Jiang Changtian pondered for a moment, "Yunyun, she may have found Uncle Lu."

"This was a gift from you. I was thinking of using it to upgrade weapons and city wall defenses at the border, but now it seems better to return it to Uncle Lu."

Jiang Changtian pulled a book out from under his pillow.

It was the very book that Uncle Lu had given him.

Lin Shuyun kicked the blanket away. "What Uncle Lu gave me is mine, and what I gave you is yours. Besides, you did a good deed, so just use it."

Jiang Changtian ordered someone to investigate the Second Prince's residence and put the book back under his pillow.

As Lin Shuyun got up, she said, "Get up, we should go keep vigil for the New Year, otherwise we'll be laughed at again."

After having their New Year's Eve dinner, they came to their room to digest their food. Now that they've digested enough, it's time for them to go back.

Qin Niangzi, Xiaoqing, and Old Man Xu are still playing cards. They're one player short, and they don't know who they've pulled to make up the numbers.

"Isn't this just staying up all night to welcome the New Year?" Jiang Changtian pounced on his prey like a hungry tiger.

Are you a donkey?

"..."

……

Two major events occurred on Lunar New Year's Eve.

One was the collapse of the Second Prince's residence, and the other was the sudden death of Chief Minister Zhang.

His death was very sudden, and the cause of death was concealed by the Zhang family.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, a day of great celebration, while other families were filled with joy, the Zhang family was utterly gloomy.

"Dad, dad!"

Zhang Xiucheng knelt in the mourning hall, his emotions filled with grief. "Father, don't worry, I will definitely avenge you."

His father was perfectly fine; how could he have choked to death after eating vegetables?

For a high-ranking official to die like this would be a laughing stock if word got out. Zhang Xiucheng blamed the emperor for it.

It must have been something the emperor said.

Zhang Xiuming said in a low voice, "Brother, now that things have come to this, why don't we resign from our official posts and let our family stay away from Shengjing, this place of trouble?"

His father is gone, and his elder brother has committed a serious crime. He has long lost the emperor's favor. Staying in Shengjing is nothing more than getting in the emperor's way, so it's better to stay far away.

With the death of Chief Minister Zhang, the imperial edict and incorruptible documents were gone, and the Zhang family's fate was sealed.

“What do you know? The royal family can no longer tolerate the Zhang family. Even if I don’t scheme, the Zhang family will still fall in the end.” A ruthless glint flashed in Zhang Xiucheng’s eyes.

If the emperor is unrighteous, then don't blame him for being unjust!

"You're really stubborn, sigh." Zhang Xiuming sighed and continued burning paper money in the basin.

Can an arm twist a thigh? He should make plans for his children as soon as possible.

Zhang Xiucheng ignored his younger brother and knelt in the mourning hall.

That night, fireworks lit up the sky, and the eight hundred dead soldiers split into two groups and went to the Chang and Guan families.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Jiang Changtian and Lin Shuyun arrived at the Duke's Mansion.

They were originally going to come over on New Year's Eve, but in the end they chose to spend the New Year at the Princess's residence.

Even though it was the first day of the lunar new year, Guan Suyi was still very happy. She prepared a large table of dishes and invited Qingfeng and the others who had rushed back to sit down and eat with her.

Guan Suying hadn't been this happy in a long time, and couldn't help but drink a few more cups, saying a lot of things.

It's a pity that Changsheng won't be able to come back before the Chinese New Year.

Seeing that Guan Suying was a little drunk, Jiang Changtian said, "It's getting late, Mother. Let's rest. We can talk about it tomorrow. There will be plenty of time to talk later."

After saying that, he gave Xiugu and the others a wink.

Just as Xiugu was about to help Guan Suyi back, a sound came from outside.

Qingfeng and the others rushed out immediately.

As the sounds of fighting grew closer, Jiang Changtian said, "Yunyun, protect my mother. I'm going to check on her."

After saying that, he turned around and went out.

"Four hundred people!"

Lin Shuyun opened her closed eyes, her expression grave.

Guan Suyi looked nervous. "Jingzhe and the others are with me. Yunyun, you should leave through the back door quickly."

There aren't even four hundred people in the entire Duke's mansion. Who on earth would try to kill them during the New Year?

"You all stay here and don't move. I'll be right back."

Lin Shuyun glanced at Xiugu and the others, then left without looking back.

The golden snake moved its mouth as if it wanted to say something, but in the end it didn't.

She is a demon; with her around, the young general will surely be alright.

……

……

On the first night of the new year, bright red blood stained the floor tiles.

Before sunrise the next day, the Zhang family's home was ransacked, and all the men and women were imprisoned.

Most people were kept in the dark, wondering why their homes were raided during the Lunar New Year.

The sudden downfall of the Zhang family, a century-old clan, has thrown the court into a state of panic.

The New Year holidays aren't over yet; there's nothing we can't discuss after the holidays.

When the Zhang family's crimes were laid bare before everyone, all fell silent.

The Zhang family is incredibly audacious, allowing their wicked servants to kill, their relatives to plunder, and engaging in corruption and bribery. Most importantly, they are guilty of treason and colluding with the enemy. It turns out that the traitor was not General Chang at all, but the Zhang family!

The Zhang family is truly not wronged at all.

Jiang Changtian only learned the next day, after leaving the palace, that the Guan family had also been attacked the previous night.

Guan Xiuyu was injured, and the old lady was frightened and is still unconscious.

"Uncle, are you alright?" Jiang Changtian called out to him at the palace gate.

"It's just a minor injury, nothing serious. Luckily, the servants in the manor all know martial arts, otherwise the losses would have been much greater."

Guan Xiuyu was also relieved because, because of her sister's situation, the guards and servants in the mansion all knew martial arts, and there were many of them. Otherwise, they would have been fighting their way to the backyard last night if they hadn't received any reinforcements.

"Where are you and your mother? There are only a few people in the mansion, how can you be safe?"

Guan Xiuyu only learned this morning that the Zhang family's desperate revenge was actually against the Chang and Guan families.

I almost fainted on the spot, and only breathed a sigh of relief when I learned that my sister and nephew were safe.

"uncle……"

Jiang Changtian called out but didn't say anything.

Guan Xiuyu patted him on the shoulder, "I won't ask anymore. You kid, when are you going to regain your status? You're a Duke of Zhenguo after all, you can't just keep hiding forever."

Jiang Changtian simply said, "It will be soon."

He won't be able to hold the title of Duke of Zhenguo for long.

Jiang Changtian and Guan Xiuyu went to the Guan family to visit Old Madam Guan.

The old lady had just woken up when she saw Jiang Changtian with tears streaming down his face again. She was so tired that she finally fell asleep.

When they arrived in the courtyard, Madam Lin was also there.

Jiang Changtian bowed, "Aunt,"

"Your uncle had me prepare everything for the house in advance. When exactly is the wedding approaching?" Madam Lin asked with a smile.

Those things are for young women; who else but my nephew Ru Xinfu could use them?

"Thank you, Aunt. It should be soon. I can't make my own decisions about my marriage." Jiang Changtian said with a big smile.

When my parents-in-law arrive in Shengjing, we will need to ask the Emperor Emeritus for a marriage decree.

He wanted to remarry her using all the proper matchmaking and betrothal gifts, and so on.

Mrs. Lin smiled broadly, and the couple saw Jiang Changtian out the door together.

As soon as they arrived at the gate, a very ornate car was parked there.
