After the eldest sister-in-law of a fishing family became a widow, her disabled younger brother-in-l

"Ouch, be gentle! You'll tear my clothes!"

Only after entering the study did Song Jinglan release his hand. Jiang Feili hurriedly straightened his clothes, his expression quite resentful.

"Is this how you treat your savior? Who was it that helped you detoxify and pulled you back from the brink of death? If I had known you were such an ungrateful person, I should have given you a good beating when you were unable to move!"

Hearing Jiang Feili's words, Song Jinglan's face remained ashen. "How many people have you told about Jiang Yuyue?"

Why are you being so fierce?

Jiang Feili pursed her lips, "I still know my limits. How could I possibly spread this kind of thing around? I only told Manager Li today, and I didn't tell anyone else."

These words softened Song Jinglan's expression slightly. Fortunately, Jiang Feili wasn't one to speak without thinking.

Now that Song Jinglan has made his appearance, countless people in the capital are keeping an eye on him. If people find out that he and Jiang Yuyue have a child, many will probably see them as a thorn in their side, making it difficult to protect them.

"Since you haven't said anything, then keep this to yourself."

Song Jinglan said coldly, "Don't you know the methods of my nephews? Once this matter is leaked, I'm afraid that my mother and son will be targeted immediately."

"Since you are so worried about their safety, why don't you bring them to your Prince Jing's residence?"

Jiang Feili shrugged. "Is there somewhere in the world safer than your Prince Jing's residence?"

Upon hearing this, a subtle expression flashed across Song Jinglan's face. He did want to bring her in, but Jiang Yuyue refused to accept it.

Seeing his expression, Jiang Feili guessed that the two of them were probably having another argument, and clicked his tongue twice.

"Every family has its own troubles. Don't worry, I'll keep this a secret for you. But now is not the time to worry about your romantic feelings. You should think about how to deal with your good nephews."

After saying this, Jiang Feili turned and left quite casually, and Song Jinglan sighed deeply.

He had important business to attend to upon his return. Although he had reported the events in Jiangnan, the matter was not considered a heinous crime. After all, those river bandits were not yet a threat, and he had wiped them out before they could cause too much trouble. At most, they were accused of robbing official ships and having secret dealings with enemy countries, which was not enough to completely bring down Song Yunming's faction.

Therefore, Song Jinglan had to take advantage of this time to continue collecting evidence of Song Yunming's gang's crimes and make sure to bring them all down in one fell swoop.

But this is no small project, nor is it something that can be resolved in a day or two. Once he gets busy here, he probably won't have time to take care of Jiang Yuyue.

Although he had a bit of an unpleasantness with Jiang Yuyue after leaving the Jiang family in a hurry today, Song Jinglan felt that there was no need to hold a grudge over such a small quarrel now that he had calmed down.

Moreover, now that he has appeared, apart from Song Yunming, who already knew his whereabouts, both Song Chengyan and Song Shiyou will definitely send people to investigate his whereabouts over the past year or two, and it is hard to guarantee that they will not trace it back to Jiang Yuyue.

If things really develop to that point, it will probably be too late.

Thinking of this, Song Jinglan immediately called Jixiang in.

Upon hearing the sound, Jixiang entered the room and immediately bowed. "What are your orders, Your Highness?"

"Go back to the Jiang family and tell her that if she needs anything, she can send a message to you, and you must immediately come and report to me."

Song Jinglan said, "No matter how big or small the matter is, as long as she wants to see me, you must report back immediately."

Jixiang immediately responded to these words, but couldn't help but sigh inwardly that her prince was all bark and no bite.

He made a few harsh remarks when he left, but less than half a day later, he was sent back.

Jixiang immediately did as instructed and soon knocked on the gate of the Jiang family's courtyard.

The person who opened the door was Xiao Liu. She had just cracked the gate open when she saw Ji Xiang standing outside with a fawning smile, which immediately made Xiao Liu frown.

"What are you doing here again?"

Xiaoliu's attitude was quite impolite, "Didn't you already leave? Did you perhaps forget something?"

"Miss Liu, you are mistaken. I was only out for a short while. How could I have left?"

Jixiang quickly smiled apologetically, "Our young master was worried about Miss Jiang's safety, so he sent me back. He has a few words to convey to Miss Jiang, so please let me in, Miss Liu?"

Although it was easy for Ji Xiang to climb over into the courtyard, Miss Jiang had been in a bad mood lately, and if he continued to be so rude, he might be kicked out. Therefore, it was better for him to behave himself.

Although Xiaoliu was somewhat reluctant, she still opened the door and let Jixiang into the house. Jixiang thanked her repeatedly and, led by Xiaoliu, went to the courtyard where Jiang Yuyue was.

"Miss Jiang!"

Jiang Yuyue was arranging her luggage inside when she heard Jixiang's voice from afar. She frowned and turned around to see that Jixiang had indeed returned.

Recalling the harsh words Song Jinglan had spoken to her before leaving, Jiang Yuyue didn't give him a pleasant look. "Didn't your prince say goodbye to me? What are you doing here?"

"Have it?"

Jixiang chuckled, "How come I didn't hear anything? I suppose Miss Jiang misheard for a moment? His Highness has something to attend to and specially sent me back to guard you. If you have any instructions, please feel free to ask. If you wish to see His Highness, you can also tell me directly, and I will immediately go and inform His Highness!"

Hearing this, Jiang Yuyue's face remained expressionless, but she did not intend to drive Jixiang away.

She was at least aware of the current situation. Although they were living in seclusion, it was hard to guarantee that Song Yunming's people wouldn't come knocking on their door. Having the people left behind by Song Jinglan was a form of protection. Her grudges with Song Jinglan were one thing, but the safety of her family was another.

"Since he has this intention, then you should stay."

Jiang Yuyue said calmly, "This house isn't very big now, and there's no other place for you to stay. You can go and stay in the courtyard you had before. If you need anything, I'll let you know."

Hearing this, Ji Xiang finally breathed a sigh of relief. He had been prepared to pester her relentlessly, but he was worried that Miss Jiang might kick him out. However, he was surprised that he was kept so easily!

Finally, I can report back to His Highness...!
