Chapter 226



Everyone went back to the Duke's Mansion first.

Some people from the mansion had already watched the entire process of the court session and quickly ran back to report the good news to Lian.

So when Jiang Ying brought her second brother 누, Lian, her eldest brother and two young men she didn't know all greeted her at the door with smiles on their faces.

Grandmother, as soon as she saw her, she immediately came forward and hugged her affectionately, praising her non-stop, "Good sister Ying, the lucky star of our Duke's Mansion. If it weren't for the fact that she was a girl and she was promised to someone else, I, an old woman, would really like to let her inherit the Duke's Mansion."

"As for my daughter, she is no less beautiful than a man. I feel more at ease leaving the Duke's Mansion in her hands."

These few words confirmed Jiang Ying's indelible status.

Jiang 꽮yi was a fool. He didn't say anything when he heard the words and got angry. 꿯땤 followed suit and said, "Grandma, please don't be jealous of me. I agree. I raise my hands and agree. As long as my sister is willing, I will run errands for him for the rest of my life!"

If something so out of line happened in someone else's home, there would have been a huge uproar.

The Duke's Mansion, however, was accustomed to it.

Even Jiang Yuchen, a scholar who was well-versed in poetry and adhered to moral principles, did not express any doubts.

This surprised Jiang Ningxiu, the eldest grandson of the clan elder Jiang Pinhuai, who shouldered the heavy burden of the family. "I have long heard that my great-aunt is open-minded, and the first branch of the family is becoming more and more prosperous. Seeing her today, it is indeed true."

Next to him, the darker and thinner Jiang Jintao is the second son of the third wife.

She was relatively shy and not very sweet-talking. She just handed the gift to Jiang Ying foolishly. "Jiang sister, last time you attended the ancestral feast, it was your uncle who represented us. It's our first meeting. I am glad to accept it."

Jiang Ying stood up from her grandmother's arms, her eyes slightly surprised, but her movements were unconsciously lazy and delicate, which stunned Jiang Ningxiu and Jiang Jintao.

I thought to myself, this cousin is so pretty, with a natural body and not frivolous.

Even the famous sisters from the second and third wives were not as good as them.

The key is that she has good medical skills and extraordinary courage...

After hearing about Jiang 꽊朗's incident, the elders in the clan felt that it was extremely difficult to deal with, so they asked the two brothers to come over and take care of it.

Although the several branches no longer lived together and each had their own business, they were of the same surname and were closely connected. Moreover, the eldest branch held a high position, so as long as he did not fall, the second and third branches would benefit as well.

"Well, we are all family, don't be so polite." The old lady patted Jiang Ying's hand gently, and after a few words, she urged with a smile, "Come on, come on, say what you said outside, say it inside."

Only then did Jiang Ying realize that the two young men were her cousins.

A few days ago, I heard my grandmother mention that the clan cares a lot about the eldest branch, but there are many things they are not in control of and cannot interfere with. But if you need money, just ask, the clan will not ignore it.

Two carefully trained young men were immediately sent over to help.

It is truly a loving family.

Everyone sat down. Jiang Ningxiu brought Jiang Jintao and immediately bowed to Lian, with a guilty look on their faces. "My father and my third uncle are in the salt mine and in Jiangnan respectively, so they can't get away. That's why they asked Jintao and I to come to Beijing to listen to my great-aunt's command.

"It's our fault. We were delayed on the road. As soon as I arrived in Beijing this morning, I heard the news that my cousin had a quarrel in the court. I didn't know whether to go to the court to support my cousin or come to the Duke's Mansion to pay my respects to my great-aunt..."

After a lot of twists and turns here and there, the trial is over!

But fortunately, it's good news.

Seeing the two young people's embarrassed expressions, Lian smiled kindly, her eyes full of happy wrinkles, "No problem, no problem, it's good that you have this intention. My great aunt knows that you have not been to the capital many times since you were young, and it may even be your first time here. It's normal for you to get lost all of a sudden."

Jiang Ningxiu looked at the box beside him and said, "Thank you, great aunt, for your understanding. My father asked me to bring these here. Please don't dislike them."

Jiang Jintao observed the expression and hurriedly followed suit, "My father also told me to stay in the capital for a few more days and advise my great-aunt to take care of herself."

Jiang Ying listened and secretly sighed that his cousin Mumu was so cute, and couldn't help laughing.

The sound like a silver bell made everyone in the main hall look at her.

Jiang Ying stood up helplessly and bowed, "I mean, since cousin Jintao prepared such a big gift and gave it to me alone, I feel so embarrassed for such a thoughtful gesture."

The last time I returned to my ancestral home, my brothers and sisters in the clan gave it to me once...

Although she returned the gift, after all, we had never met each other. It felt like she was being taken advantage of.

As a result, she said she was sorry and pretended to be shy, which made the truly shy Jiang Jintao blush.

"I...I..." He said twice, lowering his head, "If cousin doesn't like it, I won't send you off."

Jiang Ying: "..."

What the hell? Where did she say she didn't like it?

You're a grown-up boy, don't make yourself look like a little white flower!

Lian just smiled, her eyes full of doting, "Haha, Brother Tao, Sister Ying didn't mean that. She never refuses anyone who comes. When has she ever been soft-hearted? When you spend a few more days together, you will understand."

In the end, Jiang Ningxiu was more shrewd. Seeing that Lian wanted to talk to Jiang Ying and Jiang Xiaochen alone, he pulled Jiang Jintao and Jiang Xiaoyi to go.

"The capital is too big and too prosperous. I have forgotten where the inn is. If you have nothing to do, cousin Yi, can you help us move some of our luggage?"

When I came here, I planned to live outside, but I couldn't stay for long.

As soon as I saw that my cousin was so pretty and interesting, and there were two people of the same age, the annoyance haze disappeared. I might as well stay a few more days and have some fun!

Jiang Yuyi greeted them warmly, but he didn't forget what Jiang Ying had asked him to do, which was to find the shadowy man who was playing tricks behind Jiang Yilin.

Here, there are fewer people in the main room, so be quiet.

Lian then revealed some shock and fatigue after the disaster, and slowly said, "My dear, please tell me the process of the court session. For many years, the Duke's Mansion has not been involved in a lawsuit. This time, please let me listen carefully.

From now on, grandma will no longer be soft-hearted and tolerant towards the tribesmen, the people of the tribe, and you young people..."

"Okay, grandma." Jiang Guichen pursed his lips, knowing that Lian was scared.

That's true. Who wouldn't be scared if faced with something like this?

If we are not careful, losing the life of a child would be the least of our worries. If the palace were to find out the mistake and rectify it, that would be a devastating disaster.

The time passed quickly as the grandfather and grandson talked and listened.

Jiang Ying listened to a few sentences at first, but then he got distracted for some reason. He thought about the eunuchs in the palace, the Gu Curse, the Blood Evil Formation, the Phoenix Pearl, Nian Nu, the Shadow Man, and Situ Fang, etc. It was all mixed together, and things seemed to be getting more and more complicated!

But Yan Zhuo, the dog, still hasn't woken up...

If she really had to analyze them one by one and solve them one by one, she wouldn't know how many brain cells she would waste and how long it would take to get results!

By the time she came to her senses, Lian and Jiang 꽮陈 had almost finished their conversation.

Jiang Ying was surprised. "I was distracted. Why didn't you call me?"

Lian smiled slightly, "Our sister Ying is thinking about something. Has she figured it out?"

Shaking his head, Jiang Ying said in frustration, "No, it feels like there was only one line before, but now it's all mixed up in a mess. I can't think of any clue."

"Does it give you a headache? Then don't think about it today. We'll talk about it another day when we have an idea. Besides, sister, you still have your grandmother, father and brother. If you are really tired, just throw all these things to me. Let's work together. If we are a family and pull together, what big problems can't be solved?"

"That's what Grandma said."

Jiang Ying shook his head and decided to put the trouble aside for the time being.

Snuggle in Lian's arms and enjoy the brief warmth and comfort.

Lian hugged her lovingly and murmured, "My dear, don't worry too much that Lang will suffer in prison. Not to mention our family's background, even if the emperor personally attended the trial this time, it can be regarded as a warning to those who are ready to take advantage of the opportunity to step on the Jiang family.

At any time, as long as our Jiang family leader is not rebellious and the military token is still in place, no disaster will befall us.

As for Lang Geer, after this ordeal, I believe he will be able to improve himself in the future."

Isn’t it said that the Lian family is the backbone of the Duke’s Mansion?

After living half a lifetime, one will be truly calm and know how to think and observe the situation.

Jiang Ying sometimes feels that she is still lacking in this aspect.

At night, she crawled into the dog king's bed and hugged his waist. Her restless heart during the day miraculously calmed down a little.
