Wang Jingrui was worried about Ye Xinlan.

Jiang Ling thoughtfully gave them some time alone before returning to the Zhenbei General's Mansion herself.

As soon as we got back, we saw Wang Dewu and his sons surrounding Diao Ge, feeding him bowls of freshly slaughtered beef and mutton, which Diao Ge ate with great relish.

Wang Dewu looked on with fascination, praising it endlessly: "This eagle is so handsome! So majestic!"

Wang Jing'an's eyes lit up. "I've never seen such a big eagle in my life. I really want to touch it!"

"Big brother, aren't you coming over?" Wang Jingping was also extremely excited and turned to call out to Wang Jingkang.

Wang Jingkang held his little nephew and shook his head repeatedly.

The eagle is so handsome!

But he was still a little scared, feeling like he could be swallowed whole.

"Mother!" Jiang Yuyan saw Jiang Ling and immediately told Wang Jingkang to put him down. He skipped over to her. "Mother, you're back!"

"Hmm." Jiang Ling nodded, then asked, "Where's Zhuiyue?"

"I'm here!"

Zhuiyue appeared out of nowhere, suddenly appearing behind Jiang Ling.

She wore a pink dress, had a round face, and smiled adorably and brightly. She skipped over to Jiang Ling and exclaimed joyfully and admiringly, "Village Chief! Our ancestor told me to follow you! Whatever you ask me to do, I'll do it... Waaah?"

Jiang Ling reacted quickly and covered her mouth.

With an expression that was both awkward and disgusted, Jiang Ling gave her a cold look and warned, "Don't call me... village chief."

The last two words were spoken so softly that only the two of them could hear them.

Zhuiyue looked completely innocent and confused.

why?

Jiang Ling's lips twitched. She wanted to ask the same question! The Hundred Demon Valley was perfectly respectable and prestigious, yet it insisted on being called the Hundred Demon Village.

That's so tacky!

The earth's toes gripped the ground!

Jiang Ling once suspected that the demons disliked the name "village chief" because they thought it sounded unpleasant, which was why she was chosen to be the village chief.

"Ling'er, you're back. What were you shouting just now? Village Chief?" Wang Dewu and the others came over.

"No! Second Uncle, you must have misheard!"

Jiang Ling immediately rejected the idea, while simultaneously warning Zhuiyue in a low voice, "Don't shout! If you shout again, I'll turn you into spicy rabbit meat!"

Zhuiyue was so frightened that her fur stood on end, and she nodded repeatedly in a terrified and obedient manner.

Jiang Ling then released her mouth.

As she stopped, her heart skipped a beat for no apparent reason. Jiang Ling sensed something was wrong and glanced at Zhuiyue again.

"Ling'er, Jingrui seems to need to see you. Have you seen him? That kid was in such a hurry, and when I asked him what was wrong, he wouldn't say a word." Wang Dewu muttered, his tone somewhat confused and annoyed.

Jiang Ling could only suppress her thoughts for the time being, and turned around to explain with a smile: "Second Uncle, Third Brother is getting married."

"What?"

Who is he going to marry?

"Ling'er, how did you know!"

Instantly, Wang Jingkang and his brothers were all in an uproar.

Jiang Ling revealed that Ye Xinlan was pregnant with a ghost child, and the father and sons unanimously cursed the Crown Prince Murong Ji as a beastly scumbag!

They all felt sorry for Ye Xinlan, who suffered an undeserved misfortune.

Wang Dewu stroked his chin and laughed, "Jingrui has always loved going to the Minister's residence since he was a child. He and Ye Xinlan grew up together as childhood sweethearts. Since they are mutually in love, I will go and discuss it with the Madam and choose a day to take the initiative to propose marriage at the Minister's residence!"

So when Wang Jingrui returned home, he discovered that his whole family knew about his little scheme.

Moreover, his whole family supports his marriage to Ye Xinlan!

Overwhelmed with happiness and gratitude, Wang Jingrui immediately gave Jiang Ling all his savings that very night. Jiang Ling, of course, refused, saying she'd save it for Wang Jingrui's wedding.

into the night.

"Mommy, I want to sleep with you." Jiang Yuyan hugged his pillow and gray rabbit, looking up at her with longing.

Jiang Lingxin was completely charmed. She reached out and patted his little head, her voice gentle and doting: "Okay."

Jiang Yuyan immediately climbed onto the bed and placed his little pillow next to Jiang Ling's pillow. He then obediently hugged the gray rabbit, covered himself with the blanket, and waited eagerly for Jiang Ling to fall asleep as well.

Jiang Ling's gaze fell on the gray rabbit.

His eyes were tightly closed, and he remained motionless, pretending to be a plush toy.

Jiang Yuyan immediately pulled up the blanket to cover the rabbit's head and said in a cool, childish voice, "Mommy, I want to sleep with the rabbit."

"Okay, whatever you want." Jiang Ling smiled indulgently.

She then lay down on the bed, touched Jiang Yuyan's face, and gently coaxed the baby, "Goodnight, baby, go to sleep."

Jiang Yuyan is a very good sleeper.

Soon, he drifted off to sleep.

Although Jiang Ling had her eyes closed, she was preoccupied and hadn't actually fallen asleep yet. Soon, she heard a rustling sound, followed by a furry touch on her face. A little rabbit had snuggled into the crook of her neck and curled up into a fluffy ball.

They're very affectionate and clingy.

Jiang Ling slowly opened her eyes, her suspicions confirmed, and she was overwhelmed with mixed feelings—helplessness and guilt.

Early the next morning.

Aunt Wang Lanzhi brought some good news.

She said gloatingly, "My elder brother and sister-in-law have divorced! Father has also petitioned His Majesty to strip my elder brother of his marquis title. Although His Majesty is ill and not in charge of affairs, the Regent is very efficient in managing the court. He will approve it today and remove the plaque of the Marquis of Loyalty and Righteousness."

"Ling'er, now that the Marquis of Loyalty and Righteousness no longer exists in the capital, are you feeling any better?"

Jiang Ling knew that she was concerned about her, so she smiled and explained, "Auntie, I've never really taken them seriously. You don't need to worry about me, I'm fine."

Wang Lanzhi didn't believe it.

With parents like these, how could they not be heartbroken!

Ling'er is so strong, she's such a good child who makes my heart ache!

Wang Lanzhi immediately took Jiang Ling's hand with heartache and affection, "Ling'er, you have us. We love you! We won't let anyone bully you again!"

"Okay, thank you, Auntie."

"Thank you, Grandma! You're so kind!" Jiang Yuyan said in a clear voice, holding the rabbit.

"My little one is so good!"

Wang Lanzhi lovingly stroked Jiang Yuyan's face and asked him with a smile, "Little one, the weather is nice today, do you want to go to the street with your grandma? What do you want to eat, what do you want to buy, grandma will buy it for you!"

Jiang Yuyan hesitated for a moment, then looked up and asked Jiang Ling with a sweet expression.

Jiang Ling glanced at him and the little rabbit. "Go play, little one. Keep an eye on the rabbit, okay?"

Upon hearing this, Zhuiyue looked confused. Had she said something wrong?

It must be to tell her to keep an eye on Jiang Yuyan, right?

To everyone's surprise, upon hearing this, Jiang Yuyan nervously hugged the rabbit tightly and nodded repeatedly, "Mother, I will!"

Wang Lanzhi took them out to play.

Jiang Ling wasn't idle either; she practiced drawing talismans and divined the divine jade once a day. Day after day, however, she still made no progress.

Jiang Ling began to ponder with some irritation. The Imperial Advisor knew, so why not start with the Imperial Advisor?

At this moment, Wang Jingkang walked in and asked, "Ling'er, Nanzhu, a guard from the Regent's Palace, just delivered two boxes of things to you. Where would you like to put them?"

Jiang Ling casually pointed, and the servants immediately carried in two large boxes.

"Ling'er, what's in here?"

"List."

Jiang Ling opened a box, picked up a book at random, and flipped through it. "These are all the people that Master Xuanfeng met in the capital and the things he did."

Upon hearing this, Wang Jingkang's expression changed instantly.

He was almost killed by the Bone Woman!

The real culprit behind this is Master Xuanfeng!

Wang Jingkang immediately reached out and picked up a book, "Ling'er, let me help you!"

after awhile.

Wang Jingkang exclaimed in shock, "Ling'er, look! I've discovered a huge secret!"
