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

Song Jinglan remained noncommittal about these words, while Jiang Feili sighed deeply upon seeing his expression.

"Suit yourself. I'd like to see how long you can waste here for that Jiang Yuyue!"

After saying this, Jiang Feili turned and left. Just then, Jiang Yuyue came out of the house with a teacup. The two met eyes, and Jiang Feili snorted coldly as if he was feeling a bit stifled, before strode away.

Seeing this person's attitude towards her, Jiang Yuyue naturally knew that he was dissatisfied with her actions, but she couldn't care less about that at the moment and carefully fed the tea to Song Jinglan.

Jiang Yuyue originally wanted to ask about the situation of the Jiang family and the Xiang family, but she was afraid that if she brought it up, it would displease Song Jinglan, so she swallowed her question for the time being.

However, she could easily guess that this matter would cause a huge uproar in Jinling.

……

"It's all because this old servant failed in his duties."

The steward led Xiang Suiyuan to the Jiang family to apologize, saying, "We really let down the master and madam by just watching those people take the young lady away!"

Although Jiang's father was also extremely anxious, he knew Song Jinglan's background better than the Xiang family father and son. As an emperor, how easy would it be for him to take someone away? How could they possibly stop him?

"This is not your fault."

Father Jiang frowned deeply. Although he knew this matter had nothing to do with the Xiang family, he couldn't help but sigh, "I've sent out all the Jiang family's servants since yesterday, but they still haven't found their whereabouts. I'm afraid..."

"Father, let's get more people to go out and search together!"

Jiang Huanxi had been searching for Jiang Yuyue's whereabouts since yesterday and hadn't slept yet. His eyes were bloodshot, but the anxiety in them was undeniable.

"That person is like this... We must find my sister quickly!"

Upon hearing this, Father Jiang shook his head and then let out a long sigh. "You know who that person is. He might have already taken your sister out of Jinling by now. But fortunately, Mo'er is still at home. He cares about the child and will come back sooner or later. Besides, he probably cares about Mo'er's feelings and won't do anything to your sister."

"Besides, even if we find them, how can we possibly take them back if they don't show themselves?"

Although Jiang Huanxi felt uneasy, she knew that what her father said was indeed true. She clenched her fist in her sleeve again and again, but finally slowly let go.

"Then let us do as Father says."

Jiang Huanxi's brows remained furrowed for a long time, and he still felt extremely uncomfortable, as if a large stone was pressing on his heart. When he entered the house, Jiang Qimo ran up to greet him.

"Uncle, has my mother been kidnapped by bad guys?"

The childish voice suddenly rang out, making everyone's hearts sink again.

Although they all said that Jiang Yuyue was suddenly taken away by Song Jinglan at the wedding banquet through Jiang Qimo, he was naturally very clever. Seeing the chaos at home and his mother not returning, he vaguely guessed what had happened.

"Nothing."

Jiang Huanxi squatted down and gently comforted him, "Mo'er, don't overthink it. Bride usually has to wait a few more days after getting married before she can come home. Mo'er, just wait patiently."

Jiang Qimo frowned slightly, clearly not entirely believing him, but still nodded obediently, "Okay, Mo'er understands."

Seeing how sensible her child was, Jiang Huanxi became even more worried about her older sister's situation.

After all, he was caught red-handed marrying someone else, so it's impossible for him not to be angry.

Meanwhile, at a villa on the outskirts of Jinling, Yueying and Fengling witnessed their master feign weakness for several days until one day a secret guard delivered a large pile of memorials by express courier.

"Your Majesty, most affairs are handled by the court ministers, but there are some important ones that require your personal decision."

Feng Ling presented the large stack of memorials delivered by the secret guards. Song Jinglan, however, was used to these political matters and simply instructed in a low voice, "Put them down."

When Jiang Yuyue brought the prepared medicine into the room, she saw Song Jinglan frowning as he reviewed memorials. Seeing this, Jiang Yuyue's hand involuntarily tightened.

Yes, how could she forget that Song Jinglan was the ruler of a country?

It's already against the rules to have traveled all the way from the capital for her sake, but now we have to stay here because of her, and not only are we injured by her, but we also have to handle state affairs while we're sick.

Jiang Yuyue's heart was not made of iron. She knew that if she refused to give in, Song Jinglan would continue to wait relentlessly. But if that were the case, wouldn't she become a sinner who would disrupt the court?

Thinking of this, Jiang Yuyue sighed again. Spending these past few days with Song Jinglan had gradually made her understand that since she could not get rid of him in this life, she might as well accept it calmly, which would at least be a happy ending for everyone.

After figuring this out, she carried the medicine bowl into the house and gently placed it on the table.

When Song Jinglan saw that it was her, even though he was reviewing memorials, he did not try to avoid her. He simply looked at Jiang Yuyue with his usual leisurely manner, waiting for her to feed him the medicine by hand.

However, Jiang Yuyue's behavior today was somewhat unusual. After putting down the medicine bowl, she remained motionless for a long time. Song Jinglan couldn't help but feel a little strange. Just as he was about to ask her, she spoke first.

"I've made up my mind. I agree to go back to the capital with you."

Upon hearing this, Song Jinglan was taken aback, seemingly not expecting her to agree so quickly.

After a moment of silence, his deep voice betrayed a hint of doubt, "Is this really true?"

"really."

Jiang Yuyue nodded, looking at the pile of memorials on the table that was almost like a small mountain, and said with a helpless expression, "If I don't go back to the capital with you, and if the ministers in the court find out that you are holding me back, won't I, Jiang Yuyue, be rumored to be some kind of vixen who brings disaster to the country?"

Although she said it in a joking tone, every word was sincere. Jiang Yuyue was afraid that he still suspected that she was planning to escape, so she took the initiative to suggest it again.

“I’ve been here with you for several days now, without sending any news to my parents. Now that I’m going to the capital, I should at least go back to pack my things and say goodbye to my parents. I’ve decided to entrust the rest of my life to you, so you should come back with me to formally meet my parents.”
