The old lady waited until the door was closed, and the coldness on her face disappeared. She said with a distressed look, "Xiao San, take off your clothes quickly and let me see if you are injured. I need to apply some medicine as soon as possible."

Jiang Sheng waved his hand with a smile on his face: "It's okay, grandma, my grandson won't feel any pain when wearing cotton clothes."

"Performing a play can make the emperor lower his guard, and it's worth it to get the money back."

"Those three suffered a loss today. If they can keep quiet from now on, I can go to the battlefield to find my father and brother and find a way to catch the spy. That way, my father and brother won't... die a tragic death!"

The old lady sighed, patted his arm gently, and said lovingly, "Okay, I'll prepare everything for you. You can leave before dawn tomorrow."

"Bring a few guards with you. After what happened today, the emperor won't stop you from leaving the capital. He might even be happy."

"The journey is long, so you must be extra careful and be careful not to fall into the trap of evildoers. I'll keep these things in your space, so it's safer this way."

Jiang Sheng nodded, placed his hands on the bags, and with a thought, the things disappeared in an instant.

The old lady was still a little dazed as she watched this scene.

"Xiao San, you have such a magical space. It must be a blessing from God because God saw that the Jiang family was in such a miserable state. Don't let God down."

Jiang Sheng nodded and said seriously, "Don't worry, grandma. I know this and will use this space carefully and never expose it to anyone."

"You must be careful. If it gets out, you'll be accused of possessing a treasure even though you're innocent. Then there will be no peace."

"Well, after your grandson goes to the battlefield, I'll have to trouble you to take care of me in the capital. When the war in southern Xinjiang is over, we can reunite as a family."

The old lady raised her hand and gently held him in her arms, her eyes slightly red: "Xiao San, you have suffered a lot. Grandmother must live well in this life. As long as grandma is here, the emperor will not dare to lay a hand on the women and children of the Jiang family."

Jiang Sheng buried himself in her arms, hot tears streaming down his face.

He said sullenly, "Well, my grandson knows."

My grandmother has always been a strong person. If she hadn't been too sad in her previous life, she wouldn't have vomited blood and passed away.

"The Jiang family will be different in this life. We will all live well, safe and happy away from the capital."

There's a knock on the door.

Aunt Qiuxiang's voice came: "Old Madam, the eldest lady is back. She said she was worried about the young master's head injury and brought some supplements."

"Well, go and bring the eldest girl over."

Jiang Sheng was stunned when he heard this. Thinking of the fate of his eldest sister in his previous life, he couldn't help but shudder. How could he almost forget about his eldest sister? He had to talk to his grandmother about it.

He raised his head from the old lady's arms.

Jiang Sheng said seriously, "Grandma, I haven't told you about my eldest sister yet. In my previous life, after the male members of the Jiang family died on the battlefield, the women and children of the Jiang family were exiled."

"My eldest sister later... hanged herself. I had someone investigate and discovered that my eldest brother-in-law had many children outside the family. As for my eldest sister not getting pregnant for three years, I'm afraid there's something fishy going on."

"What?"

The old lady was furious. As a princess of the royal family, how could she not know about those dirty things? She thought of the Prime Minister's Mansion and the Emperor...

His face turned pale immediately. The eldest girl was a weak person and her heart was all on her grandson-in-law. If it was just a matter of having an heir outside, she would definitely not hang herself.

I'm afraid she also found out the truth about not being able to conceive for many years, and coupled with the misfortune suffered by the entire Jiang family, she might have committed suicide out of despair.

The old lady took a deep breath and said slowly, "Xiao San, my grandmother knows about this matter and will definitely make proper arrangements. Don't tell the truth to your eldest sister."

"Her heart is with your eldest brother-in-law. If you just say it without any evidence, your eldest sister will not only not believe it, but she will also go back and tell your eldest brother-in-law."

"If the Prime Minister's Office and the Emperor collude and discover this, I'm afraid you'll be in danger on the road. This matter must be kept secret."

Jiang Sheng nodded and said solemnly, "Don't worry, grandma. I know the seriousness of this matter and I will definitely not tell anyone else except you."

Jiang Xinrou was brought into the house. After bowing, she softly asked, "Grandma, how are you these days?"

The old lady looked at her lovingly, her expression normal. "It's fine. I just miss you guys so much. Please come back more often in the future. Got it, little girl?"

"...Well, don't worry, grandma. I will definitely come back often to visit you in the future."

Turning to look at Jiang Sheng, she wanted to say something, but when she looked into his eyes, she changed her mind: "Does your head still hurt?"

"Sister brought you some tonics and some scar-removing medicine. They're the ones I gave to your brother-in-law in the palace last time. I brought them here thinking you might need them."

When Jiang Sheng heard the name of her brother-in-law, she unconsciously clenched her fists, tried to control her emotions, and said softly, "Well, thank you, sister."

When Jiang Xinrou heard this, a look of relief appeared on her face: "Xiao San fell on his head this time, but he seems to have become much more sensible. He has finally grown up."

"Is there anything you want for the coming-of-age ceremony? I'll go get it for you."

"No, I just hope my family is safe."

"Yes, mother said a few days ago that father wrote to me, saying that the situation on the battlefield in southern Xinjiang is very good. If everything goes well, we will be able to return to the capital within two years."

The old lady waved her hand to signal her to come over.

Jiang Xinrou walked over and squatted down, resting her head on the old lady's legs, with a look of relief on her face: "Grandma, it feels good to be home."

"Since you miss home, why not come back and stay for a few days? You don't have any concubines in your backyard anyway, so you don't have so many things to do. You might as well spend more time with your grandmother."

"Ah, granddaughter wants to too, but mother-in-law has to take care of her illness and can't leave for a single day. When she gets better, granddaughter will come back to accompany grandma."

The old lady touched her head and said softly, "Xiao San, go back quickly to apply the medicine. Grandma will have a private talk with your eldest sister."

Jiang Sheng nodded, bent down slightly and walked out.

Hearing the sound of the door closing, the old lady's eyes were a little complicated, and she asked tentatively: "Big girl, you have been married for three years and have no children. Do you want to see a doctor?"

Jiang Xinrou raised her head, her eyes full of disappointment. "Well, the court doctor said that I have a cold constitution and am not suitable for pregnancy. The imperial physician in the palace also said the same thing. My granddaughter blames herself very much."

"But fortunately, my husband treats me well, and my parents-in-law have never urged me about my childlessness. They just told me to take good care of myself and have children in the future."

The old lady's heart sank, and she murmured in a low voice: "Big girl, have you ever gone out of the house to see more doctors?"

Jiang Xinrou sighed, feeling a little sad: "My granddaughter knows, but my husband said that there are many swindlers among the doctors outside. He is afraid that I will be cheated, so he has not allowed me to go outside to see a doctor."

"Oh, so that's it. Then let's go to Grandma's place. Doctor Bai has been with me for many years, so his medical skills must be impeccable."

"Besides, you've never fallen into water before, and that's normal in the General's Mansion. How come you have a cold body after marrying your husband? It would be better to see a few more doctors."

As soon as the old lady finished speaking, she called out, "Qiuxiang, go ask Doctor Bai to come and check my pulse."

"Yes, Master."

Not long after, an old man with silver hair came into the room carrying a medicine box. After taking the old lady's pulse as usual, he heard the old lady speak.
