"Me?" Qi Ren loosened his hand that was holding the sword and pointed at his nose.

Mr. Jiang's kind face leaned into the car window, "Yes, I'm calling you. I'll talk to Miss Jiang and ask you to lend her to me for a while, oh, one day and one night, okay?"

The old man thought, why tell others her identity so quickly without asking Jiang Ying's opinion yet?

Besides, Qi Ren is her husband, so it would be better if she could say it herself.

Yes, she treated Qi Ren as her own junior and spoke to him in a very friendly way, which surprised Qi Ren.

What's wrong with this old lady? She has been aggressive since the last time she was at the Duke's Mansion, asking him all kinds of questions as if she was checking his population. She must have some plan for him, right?

Now they want to take Miss Jiang away and ask for his consent. He is the prince, so how can he make the decision?

Smiling when nothing happens is absolutely simple!

Could it be that he wants to gain control of the prince's information through him?

That's not the case.

After all, the Jiang family has a granddaughter who is about to marry the prince. For the happiness of their granddaughter, they even treat Miss Jiang with courtesy, let alone him!

Thinking of this, Qi Ren felt relieved. He turned his back to the gate and waved his hand in a particularly graceful manner, "Go ahead, go ahead. Old man, please don't be so polite. You are embarrassing me!"

The old lady is the prince's grandmother, so he should try to please her.

Seeing how sensible he was, Mr. Jiang was even more satisfied. "You are a good person. As long as you continue to be so good, you will have a bright future."

Having said that, the carriage started and moved slowly forward.

When Yan Zhuo walked up the stairs, he only saw the old man brushing and letting go the curtain.

“…”

He narrowed his eyes dangerously, "What's going on?"

In fact, he almost heard it all, but the old man's words were vague, as if people could understand them but not understand them.

For example, the last sentence, how can he have a bright future? What did he do?

Agree to lend Jiang Ying to the Duke's Mansion for a while?

But Jiang Ying is his mistress, and Qi Ren, this brat, is so bold and timid to make the decision for him. Does the old man still think he is a good person?

Qi Ren turned around and found Yan Zhuo standing behind him. He was startled and asked, "Prince, why did you come out?"

Yan Zhuo glanced at him and said, "Come out, are you waiting to celebrate the New Year in the palace?"

When he came of age at the age of twenty, he moved out of the palace.

Anyway, the prince also lived in the palace, and he was too lazy to continue looking at the hypocritical stepmother's face in the palace.

Qi Ren saw that Yan Zhuo looked better, so he quickly told him about the old man borrowing someone's money.

Yan Zhuo snorted coldly, "You are becoming more and more opinionated. Do you want me to be your bodyguard and you to be the boss of the Prince's Mansion in the future?"

It's really strange, isn't it? At that moment just now, I felt a great sense of being ignored by everyone!

Qi Ren's heart skipped a beat, and he knelt down, "Your Majesty, I was wrong! I was too smart, please punish me!"

Yan Zhuo looked in the direction where the carriage disappeared, considering whether to chase after it.

After a moment, he walked towards his carriage and said, "Forget it, let's go back to work."

He was so busy, and the government affairs had already made him exhausted. If he heard that Jiang was called by her stepmother today, he would be afraid that she would suffer a loss and would not have time to go out.

Now, his appearance was completely ignored by the little village girl. In that case, just let her do as she pleases.

Now the Jiang family still knows her identity and treats her politely. Once her identity is exposed, let's see how she will deal with it!

As Yan Zhuo thought about it, an idea for a prank flashed through his mind, and he ordered Qi Ren, "Go, hide all the information about Jiang. On the contrary, let people make a big fuss about it. Tomorrow morning, I will definitely hear the people in the city talking about her and me."

Originally, he wanted to let people know that he hated Jiang and was unwilling to let her in or hear any gossip about her from outsiders.

Now, is the little country girl having fun in Jiang's house?

Then cut off her happiness, and let her just depend on him from now on!

Moreover, I know whether it is Yan Zhuo's illusion, I always feel that Mr. Jiang's behavior is normal. It is unknown whether he is really grateful for saving his life or has other intentions.

After all, Yan Zhuo had personally experienced the miraculous effects of Jiang Ying's medicine, and people's hearts were unpredictable. She had no idea how terrible this capital city was.

Half an incense stick later, Jiang Ying was taken by the old man to Fanlou, the largest tavern in the capital.

The entire restaurant is five stories high and stands at the most prosperous area of ​​East Street. It has carved beams and painted rafters, and is crowded with people. It is beyond the reach of ordinary people.

But the old man from the Duke's Mansion was naturally a distinguished guest here, so the waiter just took a look at him and then lowered his head and led him to the third floor.

"This is the quietest private room in our building. Please wait a moment. The dishes will be ready soon." After sitting down, the waiter bowed and left.

Jiang Ying looked around the furnishings in the private room with curiosity. The chairs were all made of expensive rosewood, which was stylish, solid and beautiful. The walls were covered with calligraphy and paintings of famous people, and the folding screens were also made by masters. The windows were elegant, and the breeze rustled, but one could hear the sounds of the market.

It's strange that a table of dishes costs more than fifty taels of silver.

The wine hasn't been served yet.

You know, even the best delicacies are expensive, but some rare and fine wines are almost priceless.

Jiang Ying looked at it and began to look forward to the delicious food that would be served soon.

The old man's mind was not on eating at all. He moved his stool to sit closer to Jiang Ying, and tremblingly grabbed her hand, his eyes reddened, "Jiang girl, I... I..."

Everyone in the room was dismissed, leaving only Jiang Ying and the old man.

Even little Yanqi was taken to the private room next door to play.

When Jiang Ying saw her like this, his heart was moved, thinking that the old man might have finally found out.

There was no expression on his face, only a hint of worry, "What happened to the old man? Or is he in good health? I'll feel his pulse now!"

Lian can be anxious, but she can be calm, the more natural she behaves, the better.

After all, everyone likes to be led by the nose.

Hearing this, the old man's eyes squeezed and a tear rolled out. He turned his head away and waved his hands, "It's okay, I'm fine. Since I took your medicine, I cough less frequently. As for me, I clearly feel like I still have a few more years to live."

As he spoke, his cloudy and watery eyes locked onto Jiang Ying's gaze, "This old man of mine must live a few more years!"

"Because, I just... just found out that my dearest granddaughter was swapped by the evil slaves in my family. She was stranded outside just a few months after she was born. She has never enjoyed any happiness since she was a child. I... whenever I think about it, my heart aches!"

As he spoke, he clenched his right fist and hit his chest, making a thumping sound.

Jiang Ying was so afraid that she would break the healthy lung, and quickly held the old man's hand, "Granddaughter? Are you kidding me, old man? Your granddaughter is Miss Jiang Yilin from your house?

"In such a huge Duke's Mansion, what kind of evil slave is so vicious that he dares to steal the money of the Duke's Mansion?

"I grew up in the countryside, but I'm not stupid. Don't make fun of me, old man!"

Jiang Ying's tone was playful and relaxed, as if he didn't take these words to heart at all.

The old man was so angry that he grabbed her hand even harder, "No! How can I make fun of my own granddaughter!

"Yingying, you know that you are the granddaughter of me who was replaced by Grandma Jiang!"

Jiang Yingyu was shocked, his eyes widened just right, and he was stunned and unable to react.

The backs of his hands were all blue from being pinched by the old man, but he didn't struggle at all, which showed that he was really frightened.

Seeing this, the old man quickly let go, picked up the back of Jiang Ying's hand and rubbed it with a guilty look on his face, "I'm sorry, grandma was too excited, did it hurt?

"Yingying, you must believe in grandma. If grandma didn't understand everything, she would tell you about this.

"When you calm down, I will take you back to see Grandma Jiang and let her explain the whole story to you. Then...then you will return to the Duke's Mansion. I will make up for all the debts I have incurred over the years!"

At the end, I was able to control my humility and uneasiness.

She was afraid that Jiang Ying would not recognize her, would not be willing to go back to the Duke's Mansion with her to be a girl of the Jiang family!

Jiang Ying, "!!!"

It's over! It's over! She will be the legitimate daughter of Duke Jiang's mansion in the future!

Look at that dog prince, he still calls her a country girl and has the nerve to force her to be his concubine. The dog prince's stepmother is even more judgmental!

Thinking of how proud he would be after getting a new identity, Jiang Ying nodded immediately with hatred.

Finally, reason managed to pull back a little impulse, Jiang Ying lowered his eyes with tears, "Old man, I... why do I feel like this is just like a dream?

“Is it possible? Is it possible that… it’s a mistake?”

A strong feeling of pity and brokenness rushed into the old woman's senses. She tried to control her sour emotions and hugged Jiang Ying fiercely.

"Yes, it's possible! Grandma has checked everything clearly and even performed a blood test on Jiang Yilin to identify you. You have a birthmark that is unique to our Jiang family, and even the child has it!"

"Yingying, you promised grandma, don't refuse it first. When we return to the Duke's Mansion, you will see the birthmarks on your two brothers and you will understand everything..."

Jiang Ying laughed and patted the old man's back slowly.

Hey man, I think you are the one who needs to calm down?

She thought about it for a while, then said in a choked voice, "Okay..."
