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

These words struck a nerve with Jiang Qimo. Upon hearing this, he immediately shook his head repeatedly, "I don't want to!"

"That's the right thing to do if you don't want to."

Jiang Yuyue had no other reason to stop the two from continuing their contact, so she could only exaggerate the situation to make it seem more serious.

"Between him and me, Mo'er can only choose one. If Mo'er thinks that the other person is better, then she will never see her mother again."

Despite his reluctance, Jiang Qimo ultimately chose Jiang Yuyue's side, his brows furrowing slightly as he finally made a promise, seemingly as if in compromise.

"Then Mo'er will definitely stay away from that person from now on."

Seeing the expression on Jiang Qimo's face, Jiang Yuyue also felt bad.

Song Jinglan was not someone who would easily get close to others. Thinking about his increasingly abnormal behavior, whether it was what he said at the dinner table today or his sudden and meticulous teaching of Mo'er, it all indicated that he probably already knew the truth.

This made Jiang Yuyue even more irritated. Even though this person had already noticed something was wrong, he refused to point it out, which was indeed his usual style of playing tricks on people.

Now she is in a dilemma, and Song Jinglan's constant probing is like a dull knife cutting into her flesh, making it unbearable.

But now she really can't get rid of this person, so Jiang Yuyue can only increase her vigilance and not let him have any more opportunities to be alone with Jiang Qimo.

After setting off, although Jiang Feili did not witness what had just happened, he could guess what was going on based on the low mood that Song Jinglan exuded.

"Now that you know she is Jiang Yuyue, what are you waiting for?"

Jiang Feili truly couldn't understand this. "The child and the person are here. We can just forcibly take them back to the capital. Now that you're on guard, do you think you can let her have another chance to escape?"

Upon hearing this, Song Jinglan merely glanced at him and said, "This method might work for ordinary women, but it won't work on her."

Song Jinglan was too lazy to explain too much. Jiang Yuyue's ambition far exceeded that of ordinary people. If he really tried to force her, even if he got her body, he wouldn't get her heart. Moreover, she was strong-willed, and he was afraid that he would end up destroying her.

Now that he has regained control of her whereabouts, he will certainly not let her escape his control so easily again.

Even if he escaped, since he could find her once, he could find her a second time.

After this incident, Jiang Yuyue indeed became more vigilant. The carriage did not stop for long along the way. No matter what Song Jinglan or Jiang Feili said, Jiang Yuyue ignored them. Jiang Qimo also kept his distance from the two of them and only cared about getting on the road.

Several days later, their carriage finally entered the gates of Jinling City.

finally come back!

Looking at Jinling, which she had not seen for a long time, Jiang Yuyue felt very nostalgic. Although she missed her parents, she had not shaken off the two people behind her, so it was absolutely impossible for her to go home like this.

Thinking of this, the carriage finally stopped at the entrance of Wutong Pharmacy. Jiang Yuyue and Jiang Qimo got off the carriage together and knocked on the window of the carriage where Song Jinglan was without any politeness.

"Young Master He."

Seeing this, Song Jinglan also got off the carriage. After looking around at the scenery, he looked at her again and asked, "Why did you stop here? The Jiang residence isn't this far away. Don't you want to go back and pay your respects to your parents-in-law?"

Upon hearing him mention the words "father-in-law and mother-in-law," Jiang Yuyue felt a surge of anger.

"General, there's a limit to jokes."

They were only one step away from breaking the ice, so Jiang Yuyue simply said, "Your identity is extraordinary, so it's best not to be too ostentatious. If people discover your whereabouts in Jinling, it may be detrimental to you."

"Since you hold a high position, you should do what you are supposed to do, instead of wasting your time on some unimportant people. Now that I have arrived in Jinling, you should return to the capital."

These words made Song Jinglan's smile fade, and his gaze fell on her with a light touch as he uttered a few words.

How do you know that person is definitely insignificant?

Such a pointed remark made Jiang Yuyue pause slightly, while Song Jinglan changed the subject on his own.

"However, you are right about one thing: I really should go back to the capital."

Although Song Jinglan accompanied Jiang Yuyue to Jinling, he had sent Jixiang with the army back to the capital. Now that he estimated that they would arrive in the capital soon, he had no reason to stay here any longer.

After all, the faction led by Prince Ding was still waiting for him to return and deal with them.

These words surprised Jiang Yuyue slightly, as she seemed not to have expected Song Jinglan to agree to leave so easily.

Song Jinglan turned her gaze to Jiang Qimo, who was hiding behind Jiang Yuyue. She raised her eyebrows slightly, took a jade pendant from her waist, and stuffed it into his hand.

“I feel a connection with this child, so I’m giving this to him.”

Song Jinglan's gaze fell on her lightly, then he took a step forward, tucked a stray hair behind her ear, and leaned down gently to whisper in her ear.

"Wait until I come back."

The warm breath tickled her ear, and Jiang Yuyue froze on the spot. Such a pointed remark made her even more certain that Song Jinglan had already seen through her disguise.

The person in front of him didn't linger for long. He reached out and patted Jiang Qimo's head before turning around and getting into the carriage.

The coachman flicked his whip with equal ease, and the carriage sped off toward the city gate.

Only when the carriage was out of sight did Jiang Qimo tug at Jiang Yuyue's hand and lift up the jade pendant that Song Jinglan had given him.

"Father, this jade pendant..."

Jiang Yuyue reached out and took it. Her fingertips immediately felt a warm, smooth touch. She knew at a glance that the jade pendant was of superior quality. She examined it closely. The jade pendant was pure white like solidified fat, and it was carved with some flamboyant dragon patterns. Obviously, it was a royal item.

Jiang Yuyue was quite troubled to be handed such a hot potato. This thing was too special. As a royal item, she naturally couldn't just throw it away. If someone else picked it up, it would probably cause trouble again.

"Since he gave it to you, you should keep it safe."

Jiang Yuyue handed the jade pendant back to Jiang Qimo, saying, "However, this thing cannot be shown to others easily. Mo'er must keep it safe."

Seeing that his mother had no intention of confiscating it, Jiang Qimo was overjoyed and quickly put the jade pendant into his pocket. "Yes!"

Seeing the child's overjoyed expression, Jiang Yuyue felt extremely conflicted.

He and Song Jinglan truly lived up to their blood ties as father and son; they hadn't even exchanged a few words before becoming so close.

Song Jinglan's carriage stopped immediately after reaching the outskirts of the city.

Feng Lingyueying had already prepared horses and was waiting there. Song Jinglan and Jiang Feili immediately got off the carriage and changed into horses.
