Chapter 20 Returning Home
When Jiang Rong killed people, he was ruthless and decisive.
But in front of him, she looked pitiful and well-behaved.
After several attempts, he no longer suspected that she was pretending. But he was very suspicious that the poison of Huangquan had entered her brain and affected her normal cognition, which led to her abnormal behavior.
Similar to hysteria.
Once she is cured, she will return to normal.
She won't bother him anymore, but will just want to kill him.
It's just right. When the time comes, I will give her a divorce letter, just as she wishes.
Xie Lingxi lowered his eyes, the night concealing all his emotions.
On the sixth day after marriage, return to the parents' home.
The magnificent chariot drawn by four horses stopped in front of a large house on West Street in the capital.
Jiang Rong looked at the plaque on the house - The Mansion of the Earl of Loyalty.
The Jiang family has a long tradition of poetry and literature, and every generation has produced scholars. Her father was the top scorer in the imperial examination and served as the Minister of Works...
When she was three years old, she followed the emperor on a spring hunt and died while protecting him.
The emperor posthumously conferred the title of Earl of Loyalty on him and granted him this huge Earl's Mansion. He also promoted her father's younger brother out of the ordinary and filled the vacancy of Vice Minister.
Jiang Qingrong was only a prefect at the time, but thanks to his brother's merits, he became a third-rank official in Beijing...
They are still not satisfied with such benefits.
"Greetings to the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess!" Jiang Qingrong led his family to greet them outside the mansion.
The maid brought the stool, and Xie Lingxi led Jiang Rong out of the car.
"Uncle, you don't have to be so polite. We are a family." Jiang Rong hid all his resentment and smiled kindly.
Jiang Qingrong said politely, "The Northern Prince is of noble status, and etiquette cannot be abolished!"
Xie Lingxi is the heir to the title of prince, and the status of a prince is equivalent to that of a county prince. For the small Jiang family, he is an extremely noble and unattainable person.
The Jiang family welcomed Xie Lingxi and his wife into the inner hall.
"This is Rong'er's stepbrother!" Jiang Qingrong pointed at a young man of about eighteen or nineteen years old and introduced him to Xie Lingxi.
Jiang Wenxing immediately smiled and saluted towards Xie Lingxi, "My sister is naughty, please forgive me, Your Highness."
Jiang Rong's parents have only one daughter.
Jiang Qingrong then adopted his eldest son into the eldest son's family so that he could inherit the title.
Jiang Rong used to think that her second uncle loved her. She didn’t have a biological brother, but he gave her a son to be her biological brother…
But what they covet is just the title.
Xie Lingxi just glanced at him and said nothing. He was known in the capital as a playboy and a bad boy who didn't give people face, but no one would bother with etiquette with a playboy.
"This is Rong'er's cousin, my daughter Jiang Wan." Jiang Qingrong pointed to his other daughter and introduced her.
"Hello, sister and brother-in-law." Jiang Wan smiled shyly.
She was wearing a plain sky-blue dress today, with her hair tied up with a wooden hairpin.
Xie Lingxi's eyes fell on Jiang Wan and he paused for a moment. At first glance, this outfit looked a bit like Jiang Rong.
In the past, Jiang Rong wore simple and elegant clothes.
But the most impressive thing is that no matter who she sees, she always looks cold, arrogant and noble.
She is well-read and proud. She looks down on the playboys and disdains to curry favor with the powerful...
Jiang Wan looks like her, but when she smiles, she is completely different.
The aloof and arrogant Jiang Rong would never smile like that at a playboy.
(Except for Jiang Rong who is now in the underworld.)
Jiang Wan and Chang Shi both clearly felt Xie Lingxi's gaze and looked at Jiang Wan a little longer.
The two looked at each other, both happy.
The mother and daughter had made preparations for this return banquet early.
