Jiang Yimian was amused and reached out to rub Xiao Ye and Xiao Nuan'er's heads. "They've only made an engagement, but they haven't decided when they'll get married yet, so don't worry."
Besides, even if my sister gets married, she'll still be my sister. You'll just gain a brother-in-law, not lose your sister.
Ono finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Xiao Nuan'er blinked her big eyes and asked seriously, "Then, when Xiao Nuan'er sees Brother Cijian in the future, will she have to call him brother-in-law?"
Her friends at the girls' school all said that they should call their older sister's husband "brother-in-law." She didn't know what it meant back then, but now she understands a little.
In short, from now on, I should call Cijian brother-in-law.
Jiang Yimian sighed and gently flicked the little one's forehead. Just as she was about to speak, she heard a familiar voice from outside the courtyard, "Little Nuan'er can be called whatever she wants."
The young man, dressed in a crescent-white brocade robe with a dark sash around his waist, walked in from outside the courtyard with a dignified appearance and a tall, straight figure. His eyebrows were relaxed and his eyes were bright, and his face was as beautiful as a painting, like a celestial being banished under the moon.
Especially the smile at the corner of her mouth, which makes people feel happy just by looking at her.
Normally, when he wears dark robes, he exudes an air of majesty and elegance. But when you first see him in light-colored robes, you can't help but be drawn to him.
Lu Cijian simply raised an eyebrow at her, and although he didn't say anything, she understood what he meant.
Jiang Yimian casually looked away and muttered under her breath, "Who says fox spirits are only female? Here's a ready-made one."
Xiao Nuan'er broke free from Liu'er's embrace, ran over with a smile, and called out in a soft voice, "Brother-in-law."
Lu Cijian's smile deepened, and he simply reached out and rubbed the little guy's head.
Everyone else in the courtyard laughed, but Jiang Yimian secretly grimaced, thinking that this guy was taking advantage of her.
After hearing the little one call him "brother-in-law" again, Lu Cijian said, "Xiao Nuan'er, please call me brother. Mianmian and I are not married yet, so it is not proper for you to call me that."
Although he wanted to hear more, it wouldn't be good if others heard, so he had to suppress his joy and feel a pang of regret.
Jiang Yimian looked at his clothes today and asked curiously, "Where are you going so early?"
Normally, he should be at the Censorate at this time.
Lu Cijian glanced at the people in the courtyard and said with a smile, "You haven't eaten yet, have you? I brought some food."
Jiang Yimian's eyes lit up, and she followed Lu Cijian into the side hall.
Liu'er took the children to other courtyards.
Song Er quickly brought in the lunchbox, placed all the dishes on the table, and then quietly withdrew.
Jiang Yimian looked at the delicious-looking dishes on the table and was quite satisfied, as they were all her favorite dishes.
I didn't feel it before, but now I'm a little hungry.
The two sat down at the table, and Lu Cijian said, "I have already told His Majesty about the weapons I brought back from Qingnan. His Majesty was furious and ordered me to go to the weapons workshop not far from the capital to find out what happened. I should not be in the capital for the next few days."
This matter has had a significant impact; the Ordnance Inspection Bureau is currently conducting a major investigation.
The King of Chu probably had no time to deal with himself, so although he might not catch the man red-handed, he would at least keep quiet for a while.
Jiang Yimian then understood, and the shrimp and egg custard in her mouth no longer tasted good. She frowned and said, "Do you want me to go with you?"
Leaving the capital at this time is not a good thing. The King of Chu is watching them closely. Although he is busy dealing with the affairs of the Military Equipment Bureau, it is hard to guarantee that he will not take action against them.
In addition, the conflict with Lu Chengyuan is now out in the open.
Although the other party is Lu Cijian's biological father, it is still unknown whether he will take action against him.
Although it's unclear which faction this person belongs to, he is undoubtedly their adversary, and they will inevitably clash sooner or later; it's just a matter of time.
Lu Cijian's sudden departure from the capital is a good opportunity for these people.
Seeing the little girl frown, Lu Cijian just smiled and said, "Don't worry, it's just routine. I should be able to come back before the Mid-Autumn Festival."
I've heard the Mid-Autumn Festival lanterns in Beijing are incredibly beautiful. Let's go see them together when I get back.
Jiang Yimian simply said, "We'll talk about it when you get back. Be careful on the road; I don't want to hear that you're injured."
Lu Cijian just smiled and said, "Don't worry, nothing will happen. I'll leave Wang San and the others here. I'll feel more at ease with them and Song Er around."
Although he had placed secret guards around the Jiang residence, he was still somewhat uneasy.
Jiang Yimian just smiled and said, "Lord Lu, you should worry about yourself. I'm here, nothing will happen. It's better for Wang San and the others to stay with you. There are more people who want you dead than people who want me dead."
After all, in the capital, those people would be hesitant to kill her, and it wouldn't be so easy for them to do so.
But things are different once you leave the capital.
Lu Cijian shook his head helplessly, reached out and pinched her face, frowning as he said, "You have to wait for me to come back properly, and don't keep saying things like that."
He hadn't seen the Mid-Autumn Festival lanterns in Beijing yet, and he wanted to see them with Mianmian.
Seeing Jiang Yimian nod, he released his hand and continued, "Lu Chengyuan was impeached in court today. Because of what happened at yesterday's palace banquet, His Majesty granted him leave."
The Imperial Guards might make a move in the next few days; he's probably furious.
Just thinking about what the other person said to him before he left the palace makes him want to laugh.
He felt it was ironic that someone who had never raised him could constantly refer to him as their father.
Jiang Yimian just smiled and said, "Lord Lu must allow those who have been affected to be angry!"
"So domineering! Does Lord Lu even have to concern himself with other people's feelings?"
The little girl's eyes and brows were full of smiles, and although her tone was joking, you could still hear the gentleness in her voice.
Lu Cijian was taken aback, then chuckled softly, the slight annoyance in his heart instantly dissipating.
