The system was stunned. Perhaps it was because it and Yan Baibai had been in the world of immortal cultivation for too long and had seen all kinds of gorgeous spells, so it didn't know much about the fights between mortals. But it was sure that Xiao Changhen's speed and strength just now must have been among the best among mortals.
The hero is always the hero. Even before he embarked on the path of immortal cultivation, he was still a rare talent in the human world. The system believed that even if Xiao Changhen had not encountered the man in black, this small county would not have trapped him for too long.
After the two of them had left the alley for a long time, Jia Mianmian lifted the curtain of the carriage and sat down next to Xiao Changhen, who was driving the coach. Xiao Changhen turned around and was met with admiration from her.
"What's wrong?" Xiao Changhen calmed his flustered heart, pressed his lips hard, and asked, "Were you scared just now?"
"No." Jia Mianmian shook her head, the admiration on her face undimmed. Her eyes gleamed as she stared at Xiao Changhen, questioning her inner doubts: "How did my husband know there were bad guys?"
When their carriage approached the alley, Xiao Changhen warned Yan Baibai in the carriage that there were bad guys outside and she must not come out under any circumstances.
"I heard it."
"I heard it, my husband is really amazing!" Jia Mianmian's admiration became even stronger, and then she said with some confusion: "Why didn't I hear it?"
"It just takes practice." Xiao Changhen couldn't suppress the corners of his mouth and raised them. As he spoke, he used his free hand to pinch Yan Baibai's earlobe and asked, "Why aren't you wearing earrings today?"
"Hmm?" Yan Baibai also touched her earlobe, then looked at Xiao Changhen with wide eyes in disbelief: "Ah, husband, I forgot!"
The two of them just looked at each other and burst out laughing at the same time. Sometimes people are like this, they will laugh for no apparent reason at things that are not very funny, but when the atmosphere is right, they will laugh happily.
Because Mianmian got out of the carriage and sat outside with him, in order to be safe, Xiao Changhen did not drive the carriage very fast. When the two of them arrived at the Jia Mansion talking and laughing, it was already noon.
The gate to the Jia residence was packed with people; it seemed everyone who could leave had already left. Jia Yuanwai stood at the front of the crowd, followed by his concubines, and then the concubines and maids.
Because of his good eyesight, Xiao Changhen clearly saw that Mr. Jia had a gloomy face. It was no wonder that Mr. Jia had a gloomy face. After all, the two of them arrived in carriage much later than expected.
Because his daughter was coming back home, he was so excited that he didn't sleep the whole night. After breakfast in the morning, he went to the door to greet his daughter, but his daughter and son-in-law did not show up. How could Mr. Jia not be angry?
After seeing the carriage coming out from the corner, Mr. Jia planned to make things difficult for Xiao Changhen today, but when the carriage slowly approached, Mr. Jia immediately gave up the idea.
——Jia Mianmian held Xiao Changhen's right hand, rested her head on Xiao Changhen's arm, closed her eyes, and breathed shallowly. It seemed that she fell asleep on the way here.
Perhaps because she felt that she was being stared at by many people, or because the carriage suddenly stopped, Jia Mianmian frowned slightly, then opened her eyes.
"Father." Jia Mianmian raised her head from Xiao Changhen's arm and looked at the excited Jia Yuanwai with a calm expression.
"Hey, Mianmian, are you hungry? Your favorite meal is ready at home. Come down quickly." Mr. Jia seemed not to notice the indifference on Jia Mianmian's face, but was very enthusiastic.
Xiao Changhen jumped off the carriage, then naturally reached out and picked up Jia Mianmian, then turned around and nodded to Jia Yuanwai.
"What are you all standing there for? Don't you have eyes?" Mr. Jia finally vented his anger on the people behind him.
"Miss, you're fine. Master, you're fine." The concubines didn't show any unusual expressions on their faces, as if they were used to such situations.
"Sister, I'm fine." Several little boys around seven or eight years old looked up at Yan Baibai and Xiao Changhen. Compared to Jia Mianmian, their faces were more ordinary and more like Mr. Jia.
"Miss, how are you? Master, how are you." The maids and guards standing behind the crowd also greeted Jia Mianmian and Xiao Changhen.
Among the group of people, Jia Mianmian only smiled at her half-brothers. At this time, as for the concubines, she didn't even look at them, and those concubines didn't dare to look up and look at Jia Mianmian. They all looked respectful on their faces. As for what they were thinking in their hearts, no one knew.
Xiao Changhen took all of this in and immediately deduced the ranking of status within the Jia family. What he found most interesting was that the eyebrows and features of Mr. Jia's concubines all bore some resemblance to Jia Mianmian, and Jia Mianmian must have been even more like her mother...
Xiao Changhen recalled what Jia Mianmian had said under the sycamore tree. This Jia Yuanwai really deserved it...
