The capital city. Prince Xuan's palace.
Yang Zhe had been beaten in the leg by Qin Bai for a hundred days, and now he couldn't go out. His leg was tightly wrapped, and he was either lying in bed or in a wheelchair all day.
That day, the Third Prince, Yang Hongye, heard about this and came to see him. After all, Prince Xuan's Mansion was on Yang Hongye's side, and it was normal for a leader to visit his subordinates.
After hearing what Yang Zhe said, that it was Jiang Hai who had someone do it, Yang Hongye didn't seem that surprised. He had always thought that the young master of the Jiang family was a man of temperament.
Although Yang Zhe was frightened by Qin Bai, he did not dare to provoke Jiang Hai and the others after returning home.
But now that Yang Hongye is here, he has to file a complaint and ask Yang Hongye to help him deal with Jiang Hai.
"I previously sent two hundred palace soldiers and a dozen spies to southern Xinjiang, but there has been no news since then. I suspect they have been secretly captured by the Jiang family kid.
Your Highness, this is against the law and must not be forgiven."
Yang Zhe was playing the victim, oh no, he was really miserable, and continued,
"Your Highness, look at my leg. He sent someone to hit me. He has absolutely no regard for the court and the imperial power. We cannot let him continue to get away with it."
However, Yang Zhe was suing, and Yang Hongye's focus was not on his broken leg at all.
"You said he beat you on the leg and gave you ten thousand taels of silver for the medicine?"
That's right, the Third Prince was concerned about how Jiang Hai was so rich. In the martial arts world, people would buy a head for just a few hundred taels, but he could just throw out ten thousand taels for medicine to humiliate Yang Zhe for just a broken leg.
The more Yang Hongye thought about it, the more confused he became. He fell into deep thought and didn't really listen to what Yang Zhe was saying.
Yang Zhe rambled on for a while. Finally, Yang Hongye came to his senses, stood up and said,
"You have a good rest, I will send someone to check what's going on."
In fact, Yang Hongye really looked down on the Prince of Xuan, calling him a hopeless person. If it weren't for the fact that Prince Xuan was stationed at the northern border all year round, had a lot of troops at his disposal, and had chosen to stand on his side, Yang Hongye would have ignored him.
On the way back home, Yang Hongye thought for a long time in the carriage, thinking about Jiang Hai.
It would be difficult for such a wealthy family to emerge from the dilapidated area of southern Xinjiang. He was very upset and felt that Jiang Hai was not as simple as he seemed.
The first thing he did when he returned home was to call a few of his staff for a small meeting. After some discussion, they decided not to touch Jiang Hai for the time being.
The transferred industry has just begun to operate. If it can be as impressive as Jiang Hai said, and it is further expanded in the future, its impact will be greater than that of Prince Xuan's Palace.
The final decision was to let Furong Chamber of Commerce learn more about the Jiang family's situation before making a decision.
Yang Zhe did not bring up the complaint he had filed at all, and Yang Hongye just dealt with him verbally.
The poor prince was still in the mansion fantasizing about what Yang Hongye would do to Jiang Hai, and then how he would humiliate Yuchi Ziling.
…
Southern Xinjiang, Xincheng Jiang Mansion.
Jiang Hai and Yuchi Ziling went to their father's residence and went through the process of serving tea and changing the mouth. The couple happily took the gifts and prepared to go to the dining hall for dinner.
"Jiang Lang, is Wenzhi here?" Yuchi Ziling asked.
"We should be eating in the dining hall. What's wrong?"
Jiang Hai was a little confused about what she wanted to do with Wenzhi. Could it be that she was itching to practice martial arts again?
Yuchi Ziling smiled bitterly, stopped, and put down the box in his hand.
"It's too heavy. I want Wenzhi to help me carry it."
“…”
Jiang Hai covered his face and realized that the gift of changing his name given by the old couple was packed in a box, and there was no telling how many of the jewellery was made of gold. How could it not be heavy?
"Leave it there. I'll call someone to get it."
Jiang Hai and Yuchi Ziling stood at the door, looking around. Hey, just then, Liuzi came over, picking his teeth.
"Liuzi, come here and move this box to my yard, at the door of the house." Jiang Hai waved to Liuzi.
"Okay."
Liuzi ran over happily. He picked up the box, but he didn't pay attention to the weight and almost hurt his waist. Liuzi took a breath and said,
"Oh, Master, this box looks small but it's actually very heavy."
"Hey, hurry up. There's no more death-proof steel plates now."
Jiang Hai chuckled and kicked Liuzi in the butt, not really using enough force to knock him over. Finally, he had avenged the previous kick.
"Ouch." Liuzi groaned again and ran away smiling.
"Do you usually treat your servants like this? Don't they blame you?" Yuchi Ziling asked.
"They are not servants, they are family members. We are just joking." Jiang Hai explained to him.
"Family?" Yuchi Ziling was puzzled.
"All the servants in Jiang Mansion are not real servants. They don't have indentures and are free to come and go. They stay in Jiang Mansion because they like this place." Jiang Hai said with some pride.
"Oh." Yuchi Ziling nodded. She hadn't really known about this, and today had once again refreshed her understanding. It seemed the Jiang family was truly popular here, willing to work as servants even without a bond.
"Let's go and eat."
The young couple entered the dining room. Wenzhi was showing off his breakfast. Cai'er and Hong'er were also there.
After sitting down to eat, Hong'er finished eating first and didn't leave, but sat at the table to accompany Cai'er. It was quite interesting to watch Cai'er eat, just like watching a pet.
At this time, Hao Bo also came in.
"Good morning, Master and Madam." Hao Bo greeted them cheerfully.
"Good morning, Uncle Hao."
They sat around and ate together without saying anything else. After a while, Cai'er also finished eating and left the table with Hong'er.
There is nothing to do at the moment. Cai'er may still be waiting for Jiang Hai and the others to finish eating to see if the young lady has any instructions.
The two girls were whispering to each other at the door, and no one knew what they were talking about. Hong'er's face was a little red, while Cai'er was blinking in confusion.
Jiang Hai asked Wen Zhi briefly and learned that Wu Gong and Qin Bai had gone to the military camp last night and had not been seen this morning.
While Jiang Hai and Wen Zhi were talking, Hao Bo finished his meal and got up to leave. The old man ate little. When Jiang Hai was talking to Wen Zhi, he would rub his waist from time to time. Before leaving, Hao Bo spoke earnestly,
"Master, you need to be restrained even when you are young, otherwise we should make up for it. Well, I'm leaving now."
Uncle Hao was shaking his head and sighing as he walked.
“…” Jiang Hai paused.
He felt like Uncle Hao was truly unpredictable, like invisible flying knives piercing his heart from time to time. Was Uncle Hao questioning one of his abilities? Jiang Hai felt annoyed. "I'm only 18!"
"Puff." Yuchi Ziling couldn't help but laugh out loud. Now she was no longer as naive as Cai'er, so she naturally understood the meaning behind Hao Bo's words.
Jiang Hai's mouth twitched. He wanted to refute Hao Bo, but the old man had already walked out of the dining hall. Just at the door, Hao Bo ran into Si Qin, who seemed to be talking to her.
