"My dear son-in-law, you bodyguards are really good. If you were in the army, you would all be brave generals." Yuchi Zhong was so happy that he called him his dear son-in-law.
Of course not, they were all elite soldiers selected from the military camp, but Jiang Hai didn't say it out loud and just laughed it off.
The neighbors around the General's Mansion all saw Jiang Hai coming to propose marriage, and the gossip spread quickly.
The most talked about thing was whether the glittering gold boxes were real or fake, especially the pair of glittering golden geese. Then there was the curious discussion about which family the tiger girl from the general's mansion would marry into.
Because it was only about two months ago that Yang Zhe’s incident happened, there is more melon to eat now, and these spectators are most happy to see it.
Many people were trying to see which family the young master belonged to, and they were almost trying to climb over the wall. However, no one dared to climb over the wall of the general's mansion, and they all watched from afar.
The incident was also witnessed by the spies stationed at Prince Xuan's palace, and the news soon reached Yang Zhe's ears.
However, at this time, Yang Zhe was drinking with the third prince in the restaurant, actually reporting on the affairs of the Jinshui Chamber of Commerce.
Hearing the report from his servants, he went out and was first happy and then angry. He was happy to hear that Yuchi Ziling had returned to the capital, but he was angry because his servants said that the betrothal gifts had been paid and the bride was just waiting to be picked up.
After returning to the room, Yang Zhe sat for a while before saying goodbye to the third prince and leaving.
Yang Hongye had already seen the expression on his face when he listened to the servant's report just now, and ordered someone to call back the person who had just reported the news and ask him about it.
A moment later, the man was brought in. Upon asking, it was discovered that Yang Zhe had left in a hurry because of the matter concerning the young lady from the General's Mansion.
However, when Yang Hongye heard that someone had already given the betrothal gifts before Yang Zhe, he became interested. He had nothing to do, so he went to the general's mansion with his men to see what was going on and see who had the courage to go against Yang Zhe.
At the General's Mansion, Jiang Hai asked Hao Bo to take his men back to the Jiang residence first, leaving only Wenzhi and the others who had just entered the mansion.
A banquet was naturally necessary, and after the meal, Jiang Hai still wanted to stay, showing how shameless he was. However, when Yuchi Ziling asked to take him out to explore the capital, he happily agreed.
Looking at the backs of the two people leaving. Su Hui said to Yuchi Zhong,
"It seems Ling'er is quite satisfied with this marriage. She looks very happy."
"Well, maybe it's fate." Yuchi Zhong was very pleased.
At this time, Jiang Xiuyuan, who was far away in southern Xinjiang, was pacing back and forth in the room. Siqin saw him and asked him curiously,
"Master, didn't the young master go to the capital to get married? What are you worried about?"
"Well, it's time to think about how to have grandchildren. This guy definitely doesn't want to have children so soon."
“…” Siqin felt that this old father seemed to be too idle, and was always thinking about cheating his son.
At the gate of the general's mansion.
As soon as Jiang Hai and Yuchi Ziling stepped out of the house, they ran into Yang Zhe, who was coming in aggressively.
"Okay, I told you who it is. Isn't this Miss Yuchi? How dare you come back?" Yang Zhe said sarcastically.
Yuchi Ziling was not afraid of him at all. She glared at him and was about to speak when Jiang Hai stood in front of her.
Jiang Hai knew from the other person's tone that it was Prince Yang Zhe. He said calmly,
“Who is this…?”
"Open your dog eyes wide. You don't even bow when you see our young master. Are you thinking of rebelling?" Yang Zhe's dog leg armor spoke.
"That's right, catch it for me." Then the lackey B shouted again.
Jiang Hai bowed calmly.
"So it's the Crown Prince. May I ask why you're blocking our way? We are all law-abiding citizens and have not offended the Crown Prince."
Jiang Hai spoke without hesitation, but no matter whether they understood what a citizen meant or not, this was probably the correct meaning.
Dogleg A and Dogleg B wanted to come over to grab the man, but Wenzhi and Qin Bai stepped forward, and their momentum instantly dropped. They stopped and did not move forward, as if they felt the tangible murderous aura.
"Who said she didn't offend the prince? This woman beat our prince. Catch her back."
"Hey, hey, hey, where's the evidence? Who said my wife beat the prince? That's slander. We just came from Southern Xinjiang, how could we have the time to beat your prince? Don't say anything nonsense."
At this time, a lot of onlookers had arrived, whispering to each other, pointing and talking, and there was another big show to watch.
At this moment, Yang Zhe's face was as black as charcoal. It seemed impossible to arrest him by force, and there seemed to be no substantial evidence.
"You still say no, but what were you doing the night before leaving the city? If you weren't feeling guilty, why were you so anxious to escape from the city so early?" Yang Zhe pointed at Yuchi Ziling.
Yuchi Ziling hesitated a bit. She was really right about being guilty. Jiang Hai stood in front of her and said,
"Your Highness, you don't understand this, do you? I don't think you understand the so-called love between a man and a concubine. When my wife learned about the engagement, she was very happy and rushed to southern Xinjiang to meet me. This is very reasonable and there is nothing wrong with it."
The onlookers got another piece of gossip. It turned out that the young lady already had an engagement. No wonder she ignored the prince's pestering.
"Then tell me what you did the night before you left the city."
Seeing that he was still unwilling to give up, Jiang Hai took off his purse and held it up for everyone to see.
"Look, this is the purse my wife embroidered for me. She hurriedly embroidered it the night before I left the city."
After saying that, Jiang Hai took out a handful of gold leaves from his purse.
"Come on, come on, everyone, help me see if this lotus flower with gold leaves looks good."
Then Jiang Hai distributed gold leaves to the onlookers present.
The people who were eating melons at the scene did not expect that they could get money for eating melons. They were all smiling and said,
"Yes, yes, they are a perfect match. The young lady and the young master are also a perfect match."
Yang Zhe was so angry that he almost vomited blood when he saw this scene.
When Jiang Hai was assigned to an old woman, he took out an extra banknote from his purse and gave it to the old woman. Jiang Hai asked the old woman,
"What's your name, sister?"
"..." The old woman was at her wit's end. Even at her age, there were still young people calling her sister. She suddenly felt as if her feet were off the ground and her whole body was sublimated.
"No need to mention your surname Sun."
"Sister Sun, wasn't it you who helped my wife embroider the purse that night?"
As the saying goes, if you take something from someone, you will be grateful; if you eat something from someone, you will be grateful. After receiving the money from Jiang Hai, the woman surnamed Sun nodded her head like crazy and spoke confidently.
"That's right, Miss Yuchi always came to ask me for help when she had something she didn't understand. I stayed with her embroidering until dawn that night."
Jiang Hai calmly took Yuchi Ziling's hand and said to Yang Zhe,
"Prince, you see, my wife has an alibi. Now we have both witnesses and physical evidence. Please don't slander my wife at will. After all, the whole world belongs to the king, and we must abide by the law. If there is nothing else, we need to go to the market. Please make way."
