Chapter 148: Big Son

The two of them stayed in Huayin Temple for quite some time. When they returned to Jiang Mansion, it was already getting dark.

Seeing that Little Wukong had another ordinary little bag in his hand, Jiang Youning was extremely envious.

Unfortunately, the money bank here is not very good. She can only pay the custody fee and cannot pay interest like a bank. Otherwise, she would have to borrow Xiao Wukong's small amount of money and her savings to send to the money bank for a few days.

Little Wukong saw Jiang Youning looking at her small bag, with a gleam in his eyes, and asked tentatively: "Sixth sister, do you need money? If you do, I can give it to you."

"You are very generous, but I don't need it, come in."

Jiang Youning couldn't help but sigh.

As a human being, luckily little Wukong did not inherit his father's talent for stealing.

Little Wukong chose to correct it immediately.

"Sixth sister, I'm not generous, but you're my sister, so I'm willing to give you the money to spend."

"This little mouth looks like it's covered in honey." Jiang Youning couldn't help but pinch Little Wukong's face, "If I'm not your sister, then you won't give me flowers, right?"

"Sixth sister, your statement is not true. Once you are my sister, you will always be my sister. You can never get rid of me in this life."

Little Wukong clenched Jiang Youning's hand.

Jiang Youning couldn't help but tease him, "What if I don't want to be your sister, but want to be your father?"

Little Wukong suddenly pursed his lips, looked in a certain direction and smiled.

"Sixth sister, if I call you dad, you will be beaten, right?"

"It's just a recognition of a good son, how could I possibly get beaten up..."

Jiang Youning followed Xiao Wukong's line of sight, choked up, and quickly changed his words.

Afterwards, she immediately pinched Xiao Wukong's face and said righteously: "You will get beaten, so we are destined to be brother and sister in this life."

Old Jiang, who had a droopy face, looked a little better, and the faces of Lin Xiangyin and Jiang Li beside him also became more friendly.

"Hey, Dad, Mom, and Third Brother, are you all here? It's getting dark, where are you?"

Seeing that the crisis was resolved, Jiang Youning forced a smile on his face with all his might.

"We heard that you and Xiao Wukong went to Huayin Temple. You haven't come back yet so late. We were just about to go to the door to take a look."

Lin Xiangyin walked over with a smile and gently tucked the loose hair at Jiang Youning's temples behind her ears.

"I'm sorry to have worried my parents and my third brother. I will try to come back as early as possible next time I go out."

"Ningning is really good. It's great that she has this realization."

As he spoke, Jiang Youning suddenly smiled and took out a pair of earrings from his sleeves.

"Mom, this is a gift from a grandmother who used to take care of little Wukong. I think this design is suitable for you. Do you like it?"

"Oh, are these gems inlaid on it? They are really beautiful. Thank you, my sweetheart. I like it so much."

It was the first time her daughter gave her a gift, and Lin Xiangyin immediately picked it up happily to examine it. Although it was a little dark outside and she couldn't see it carefully, as long as it was a gift from her daughter, she would have to wear it and show off for several days even if it was just a piece of grass.

Jiang Huaian and Jiang Li, who were pulled out by Lin Xiangyin to welcome the young lady, were successfully thrown aside and ignored.

"Let's go, Third Brother, let's go back and have dinner."

Jiang Huaian sighed helplessly.

Jiang Li said yes, and the father and son prepared to walk back side by side.

After taking only two steps, a young eunuch ran in.

"Master Jiang, please stay."

Jiang Huaian's heart skipped a beat.

He turned his head and forced a smile on his face: "It turned out to be Eunuch Fu Yuan. I wonder what brings you here so late?"

"Master Jiang, I am here to convey the Emperor's order to summon you to the palace."

Fu Yuan smiled shyly.

Jiang Huaian touched his waist and found that he didn't bring his purse. He looked at Jiang Li beside him awkwardly.

Jiang Li felt helpless as he looked at his mother and younger brothers and sisters who had already walked out to a distance.

He reached out and took out the little pocket money he had left this month.

"Please do me a favor and reveal a few things to me."

Jiang Huaian immediately stuffed the purse into Fu Yuan's hand.

Fu Yuan shook it lightly, finding it to be of good weight, and whispered:

"I don't know the specific reason. I only know that the Empress Dowager, who usually worships Buddha and does not see people, sent her personal maid to see the Emperor today.

The emperor seemed a little excited, and then... I don't know what happened, but the emperor summoned you to the palace."

"Thank you, Uncle Lao."

Nothing serious happened. Jiang Huaian thanked him and felt slightly relieved. He turned around and got on the carriage that Jiang Youning and Xiao Wukong were riding in.

But he couldn't help feeling a little uncomfortable in his heart.

If I had known earlier, I would not have come out to welcome the bride. This way, at least I could have eaten my fill before entering the palace.

I don’t know what the emperor has ordered, and whether he can have food when he comes back.

~~~

Regarding the head of the family suddenly entering the palace, which had happened more than once or twice before, everyone just acted as if nothing had happened and ate and drank as usual.

After dinner, Jiang Youning returned to the yard and saw a person suddenly jumping down from the big tree in the yard.

She was startled and took several steps back.

"Oh my god! Someone, come and catch the thief!"

Jiang Youning's roar successfully even attracted the attention of the maids in Jiang Wanrong's yard.

"Ms. Jiang Liu, it's me, Qian Yan."

Qian Yan walked over helplessly and spoke.

The woman that the master liked was too timid and was actually frightened by his burly figure.

"Oh, who is this serious person jumping on a tree in the middle of the night? Will you be nicer next time? I was scared to death."

Jiang Youning patted his chest and glared at Qian Yan without any politeness.

"Sixth Miss, what happened?"

Several maids and servants from the next yard came over with brooms, sticks and other things, and Jiang Youning quickly stopped them.

"It's nothing, it's nothing. I just got scared by a night cat that suddenly jumped down from the tree."

"I'm glad you're okay. If you need anything, Miss Six, just shout loudly and we'll come to help you."

Miss Six is ​​usually very lively and shouty, so once they were sure everything was alright, they left without hesitation.

Jiang Youning signaled to Chuntao, who immediately closed the gate and told the maids sweeping the yard to go about their business.

"Why are you visiting me so late?"

Jiang Youning sat down casually in front of the stone table.

Qian Yan took out a booklet from his arms and handed it to her.

"This is the information you asked me to look up. It records all the information about the evil incense in Shadow Pavilion."
