After all, this is a major life event.

After the two talked for a while, Prince Yu got off the carriage.

General Jiang has not yet returned; he has been summoned to the Imperial Study by the Emperor.

Jiang Zhongyong's eyes were practically rolling to the sky.

Now, Emperor Rongsheng wants to bring him back to his side.

Jiang Zhongyong politely declined.

Now that he's used to being a leisurely person, Jiang Zhongyong has gotten used to playing with cats and walking dogs.

In a few years, his children will all be married and have established their own careers.

Then he can enjoy his old age in peace.

Jiang Zhongyong hummed a little tune as he returned home, only to find his wife looking at him with a serious expression.

"Madam, what's wrong?" Jiang Zhongyong asked, puzzled.

"Master, you went to see He'er, why did it take you so long to come back?" Madam Jiang was as anxious as an ant on a hot fire, wondering what had happened to her second son.

Jiang Hai was also waiting in the main hall.

Unable to enter the palace, Jiang Hai could only anxiously wait at home for his father or sister to return.

But neither of them has shown up yet.

"Don't worry, he won't die." Jiang Zhongyong is still very scared.

If that sword strike hadn't been blocked by the golden vest given to him by Wei'er, Jiang He would have truly lost his life.

The emperor told his wife about what he had discussed with him.

"Did you refuse the Emperor's invitation?" The lady asked with concern, knowing her husband's temperament well.

Jiang Zhongyong waved his hand dismissively, "So what? I just want to live a peaceful life now."

The lady sighed, "My lord, you and I both know His Majesty's temperament; I'm afraid he won't let this go easily."

Jiang Zhongyong's heart tightened. He naturally understood the Emperor's methods and now only hoped that his family wouldn't be implicated. But if the Emperor insisted on forcing him, he would never compromise. Jiang Zhongyong decided to observe for the time being, while also preparing for any eventuality.

"Our family has always been loyal to the Emperor, so he shouldn't make things difficult for us," Jiang Zhongyong reassured himself.

"That's true, but it's always better to be safe than sorry," the lady reminded us. "We still need to make plans as soon as possible."

Jiang Hai chimed in, "Father, Mother is right. We can't just sit here and wait to die."

"Then, in your opinion, what should we do?" Jiang Zhongyong asked, looking at his wife and children.

"Why don't we send our sister out of the capital first, just in case?" Jiang Hai suggested.

"No way!" Jiang Zhongyong refused decisively. "Wei'er is the apple of my eye. How can I let her suffer? Besides, she's getting married soon and will become the emperor's daughter-in-law. What's there to be afraid of?"

“But what if the Emperor blames us…” The lady looked worried.

"Don't worry, I'll take full responsibility for the consequences," Jiang Zhongyong assured, patting his chest. "At worst, I'll risk my old life!"

Lin Muheng escorted Jiang Chuwei to the gate of the mansion and then returned home. "Jiang Chuwei, come back," he said, explaining the whole story to her mother.

Madam Jiang was finally relieved.

Jiang Hai then went to review his lessons with peace of mind.

Back in my room, I couldn't calm down for a long time.

Prince Yu actually wanted to propose marriage like an ordinary person.

She understood Prince Yu's intentions, but this sudden marriage proposal still surprised and delighted her.

Jiang Chuwei sat by the window, gazing at the garden outside, her heart filled with anticipation for the future.

She knew that this marriage would definitely make her very happy.

He had no doubt about the Prince of Yu's intentions.

In the days that followed, the Jiang family busied themselves with preparations for the wedding. The Prince Yu's residence was equally busy, sending box after box of precious gifts.

In this bustling capital city, a beautiful romance is about to unfold; the story of Jiang Chuwei and Prince Yu has only just begun...
