Citizens gathered at the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion, looking at the hundreds of Jiang family soldiers and whispering, "It seems that the rumors yesterday were true. The Jiang and Wen families really have fallen out."

"Yes, so many people came here, they must be carrying the dowry. When the eldest daughter of the Jiang family got married, the red dowry was so beautiful that it made people envious."

"It's been only three or four years, but it feels like yesterday. It's really sad."

As the people were discussing, the gate opened.

Jiang Xinrou brought a group of maids and old women with smiles on their faces. When she saw the people standing at the door, her smile became even brighter and she walked forward quickly.

"Big brother, second brother, third brother, you are all here."

The three of them responded in unison: "Yes, sister, we are here to take you home!"

Jiang Xinrou's eyes were red, and she had a relieved smile on her face: "Okay, let's go home. I heard that the ten-mile peach blossoms are in bloom. How about we go and see them together then?"

"I'll listen to you, big sister."

Jiang Sheng said with a playful smile: "Sister, you should ride a carriage or a horse. You were a pretty good rider back then."

"Ha, I haven't ridden a horse for many years, so I'll just ride home."

"Okay, I'll give you the horse. I'll go take the carriage."

Jiang Ziang looked at him, his lips twitching. "Third brother, no wonder you insisted on bringing a carriage. It turns out it's for you to ride in. This is really... hilarious."

Jiang Sheng rolled his eyes at him and said unhappily, "Second brother, just be quiet and open your mouth to eat."

"The rest of the people will go in and carry the dowry. We are still waiting to go back for lunch after our stroll. We have made some of my eldest sister's favorite food at home. She will definitely like it."

"Okay, thank you San'er."

The group marched towards the general's residence in a mighty procession, chatting and laughing all the way, with people carrying dowries behind them. It was as grand as four years ago, except that this time it was a divorce.

Wen Li came out of the mansion, stumbled to the front of the horse, raised his head and looked at her, his eyes full of pain and regret.

"Xinrou, I really know I was wrong. Can you give me..."

Jiang Xinrou glanced down at him calmly, "Mr. Wen, please respect yourself. There is no relationship between you and me anymore. We will go our separate ways and just be strangers."

"Please get out of the way and don't block my way home."

Meeting that pair of strange and distant eyes, Wen Li felt a sharp pain in her chest, as if she had been stabbed with a knife. The pain made her breathing unconsciously slow down, and her eyes became a little dazed.

He staggered back two steps.

Jiang Xinrou gripped the reins tightly, the horse moved slowly, and the three siblings talked.

Wen Li looked at her smiling face, stood there motionless for a long time, and returned home in a daze, realizing that he had completely lost her.

A gray figure stood by the window of the restaurant, looking down at a woman riding a horse with a dashing smile on her face. The corners of her mouth unconsciously rose in a smile.

Vaguely sensing a gaze, Jiang Xinrou turned her head to look over, only to see a flash of gray and the window being closed.

Three days later, everyone in the general's mansion took a carriage and headed towards the ten-mile peach blossom forest outside the city. They talked and laughed all the way and had a great time.

After an unknown amount of time, the carriage slowly stopped.

Jiang Qianqian lifted the curtain and asked in confusion, "What happened? Why did the carriage stop..."

The groom whispered, "To answer the young lady, this is the Shangshu Mansion's carriage coming. We can't pass through on the official road, so we have to stop. If we don't give way, we won't be able to pass."

"Shangshu Mansion? The home of Shangshu Qi."

"Yes little miss."

Jiang Qianqian stretched her neck to look, and when she met the smiling eyes of the man on horseback, her eyes lit up instantly: "Brother Qi Che, long time no see, you are back from Yongcheng."

Jiang Xinrou lifted the carriage curtain and looked over. The face in her memory slowly overlapped with the man in front of her.

I watched him ask people to step aside to make way, glance over here, and quickly look away.

The carriage started moving again, and Jiang Qianqian greeted him warmly: "Brother Qi Che, please come to our house for dinner when you have time. Thank you for your hospitality when I went to Yongcheng last time. I was so happy."

Qi Che burst out laughing, a gentleman is upright and polite.

When the carriage passed him, he spoke: "Okay, I will definitely visit you someday. These two boxes are for you."

"Ah, it's for me and my elder sister."

"Yeah, I just bought it. It's not something too expensive."

The carriage passed by quickly, and Jiang Qianqian waved behind her: "Brother Qi Che, remember to come to our house to play with us. We are going to see the peach blossoms. Will you come?"

Qi Che shook his head and pointed at the cargo on the carriage.

When Jiang Xinrou saw her sitting down, before she could say anything, a wooden box appeared in her hand. When she opened it, she saw a white jade hairpin, which was warm and moist to the touch.

"Wow, mine is red and my older sister's is white. Brother Qi Che is really good at shopping. They suit us really well."

As he spoke, he moved closer and said mysteriously, "Big sister, let me tell you a secret. When you first came of age, Brother Qi Che also came to propose marriage."

"It's just that Wen Li got there first, otherwise you and him might..."

"Oh, what a pity. Brother Qi Che left the capital after waiting for you to get married. He has rarely come back and has never gotten married. What do you think, elder sister?"

Jiang Xinrou's heart skipped a beat. She quickly interrupted her younger sister, her expression becoming more serious. "Little sister, don't talk too much. If someone with ulterior motives hears, it won't be good for Master Qi."

"As a divorced person, it's good for me to maintain my reputation, but I can't implicate others."

Jiang Qianqian pursed her lips, somewhat helplessly: "Hey, but Big Sister is not wrong. The ones who are wrong are the people in the Prime Minister's Mansion. This world is really unfair to women."

"... I'm already very satisfied to have escaped this situation unscathed. I don't want to cause any more trouble. Just living a peaceful life like this is good enough."

"Well, but my eldest sister can still get married."

Jiang Xinrou smiled bitterly and said helplessly: "Silly girl, I've been taking sterilization drugs for the past few years. I can't have children anymore. How can I delay others?"

Jiang Qianqian was silent, but soon her face was filled with anger, and she raised her fist: "Big sister, you are still too soft-hearted. You should let the Wen family suffer even more."

"Wen Li has been crippled. It's tragic for the Prime Minister's Mansion. All the years of careful instruction have been wasted."

"Heh, he brought that upon himself."

In less than half an hour, the carriage stopped at the entrance of the peach blossom forest. Everyone got off the carriage one after another, looking at the endless peach blossom forest with joy in their eyes.

Jiang Qianqian exclaimed, "Wow, it's so beautiful! Look, there are so many flowers blooming on that tree. Let's get closer and take a look."

Jiang Xinrou was pulled away by her, her eyes full of helplessness: "Slow down, sister really can't keep up."

"Well, let's walk slowly."

People gathered in groups of three or four around the peach tree, some were reciting poems and composing couplets, some were lingering by the river, and there was constant laughter and joy.

Jiang Xinrou looked around and felt much happier. Since she got married, she had never been able to go out to see the peach blossoms, which was a pity.
