On the day the Southern Guards returned to the capital, the Jiang family was still in a state of panic.
Although Wang Fengqin's headache subsided quickly that day, her worry has lingered until now.
If it weren't for Jiang Yimian's letter arriving half a month ago, they would probably be even more panicked.
Jiang Dazhuang breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Wang Fengqin's complexion had finally improved.
Xiao Nuan'er and Xiao Ye, who were standing nearby, quickly surrounded Wang Fengqin, talking about the interesting things that had happened at the academy these past few days.
Wang Fengqin listened to everything, responding occasionally, but she still didn't seem very energetic.
She is still worried about Yi Mian.
Especially after the amulet she was holding suddenly shattered in two that day, she had a bad feeling.
But fearing that her family would worry about her, she suppressed her anxieties.
Jiang Dazhuang, who was standing nearby, saw this but didn't know how to comfort him, because he was just as worried.
It's definitely not a good omen for a talisman to break in two.
He just hopes that his children who are away from home are all doing well and that nothing bad happens to them.
Just then, I heard a joyful voice coming from outside the courtyard.
"Auntie, Uncle Jiang, Sister Jiang and the others are back."
As Zhao Xiaonian ran into the yard, he spoke excitedly.
Upon hearing this, Wang Fengqin immediately stood up from her chair, her face beaming with surprise. "Xiaonian, is what you're saying true? Yimian and the others really returned to Beijing?"
Zhao Xiaonian just smiled and said, "Of course it's true. I saw it with my own eyes. Not only did Sister Jiang come back, but Brother Jiang and the princess also came back."
I reckon Sister Jiang and the others will be able to return to the Princess's residence soon.
As soon as she finished speaking, Wang Fengqin walked towards the gate of the mansion, muttering happily, "I'm going to go and take a look at the gate now."
Xiao Nuan'er and Xiao Ye quickly followed.
Hearing this, Jiang Dazhuang was overjoyed. He instructed the maid to make some preparations and then hurriedly walked towards the outside of the Princess's residence.
As soon as the group of five stepped out of the Princess's residence, they saw Jiang Qingyuan riding a horse towards the residence from afar.
A horse-drawn carriage followed behind him.
Behind the carriage were rows of Southern Guards in armor.
Wang Fengqin finally breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this scene, but her gaze kept drifting towards the carriage, hoping to see the people inside.
The carriage quickly stopped in front of the Princess's mansion. Before Wang Fengqin could go forward, she saw Liu'er help Jiang Yimian down from the carriage.
She was immediately delighted and quickly said, "Yimian."
As he spoke, he stepped forward and pulled the person into his arms, repeatedly saying, "It's good that you're alright, it's good that you're alright."
God knows how she got through the past month or so, worrying about Yi Mian's safety every day, afraid that something might happen to her.
Fortunately, it was all a false alarm.
Jiang Yimian also reached out and hugged Wang Fengqin back, smiling as she said, "Mother, I missed you so much! We're finally back in the capital."
Upon hearing this, Wang Fengqin's unease and worry of the past few days finally dissipated completely, and she quickly smiled and said, "Then Mother will cook you something delicious tonight."
Come to think of it, it's been a long time since she cooked.
Jiang Yimian immediately replied, "Great! I really want to eat my mother's cooking. Don't you want to too?"
As she spoke, she reached out and pinched the cheeks of the two little ones.
Xiao Nuan'er and Xiao Ye quickly responded, their eyes filled with joy.
Wang Fengqin smiled and pointed at the three of them, "You guys are such little gluttons. When Yi Mian said she missed me, she probably just wanted to eat, right?"
Jiang Qingyuan and Jiang Dazhuang, who were standing nearby, couldn't help but laugh when they saw this.
Jiang Qingyuan said with some dissatisfaction, "Mother, aren't you going to ask me what I want to eat? That's too biased."
Upon hearing this, Wang Fengqin and Jiang Dazhuang were both stunned. After a long while, they excitedly exclaimed in unison, "Qingyuan, you've regained your memory?"
Only the Jiang Qingyuan of the past could say such things. Although the amnesiac Jiang Qingyuan still treats them as family, he has no memories of the past, and being with them always feels like being a stranger.
But now, he naturally joined in their conversation.
Jiang Qingyuan simply nodded.
Wang Fengqin, who was standing to the side, instantly teared up. "Good, good, it's good that you've regained your memories. Mother will cook something delicious for you tonight."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Nuan'er jumped up and down with joy, while the maidservants nearby quickly looked after her, afraid that the little one might bump into something.
Seeing this, Wang Fengqin could only shake her head helplessly. After thinking for a moment, she said to Jiang Yimian, "Then let Cijian and the princess come together tonight."
"While you were away from the capital, that Granny Gui often came to the Princess's residence to keep me company. She said the princess really likes the Jiang family and has always wanted to visit, but hasn't had the chance."
Although they didn't have much contact with the princess, she was always very approachable and never acted like one.
During this family reunion, she thought of Xie Yu.
Jiang Yimian was about to agree when Jiang Qingyuan said, "Mother, the princess has just returned from the border and will definitely be going to the palace. She won't have time to come to the princess's residence."
Besides, those were just polite words from others; Mother, it's best not to take them seriously.
Wang Fengqin was taken aback, and after a while she said, "You're right, the princess must be very busy, so it's best if we don't disturb her."
After saying that, he didn't continue the topic. Instead, he started talking to Liu'er, who was standing next to him, and asked about their experiences over the past few months.
Seeing that Wang Fengqin and the others had already gone far away, Jiang Yimian grabbed Jiang Qingyuan in surprise and said irritably, "Xie Yu and Granny Gui are not that kind of people, so why are you being so polite?"
"Tell me honestly, did you and Xie Yu have a fight, or did you bully her?"
She noticed the strange atmosphere between the two of them along the way, but Xie Yu stubbornly refused to tell the truth, so she didn't ask any further questions.
She assumed it was just a tiff between the two, since she knew Xie Yu liked Jiang Qingyuan.
But now, she felt that the problem between the two was not as simple as a quarrel.
Jiang Qingyuan glanced at her but said seriously, "She is a princess, and I am just a warrior who knows how to fight. We are not on the same path."
From now on, refrain from saying anything that damages the princess's reputation. I am merely a subject.
Having said that, he quickened his pace and caught up with the people in front of him.
Jiang Yimian was stunned for a moment before shaking her head helplessly. It seemed that she no longer needed to help Xie Yu.
