“…Peach Blossom Cake?”
It was when they met outside the drugstore that Jiang Qingyao gave him the first gift - Chen Ji Peach Blossom Pastry.
He Zheng curled his fingers, left a team of guards to Jiang Qingyao, said "let's go", and parted ways.
Jiang Qingyao sighed in her heart that Marquis Anguo was really generous and he really gave her the guards.
When they learned that Jiang Qingyao was the fiancée of Marquis Anguo, the people from the Shenji Escort Agency completely changed their attitude towards her. They acted as if she was something fragile that would break if squeezed, and protected her like a treasure.
Escort Leader: "I never thought that I could fight alongside the Qilin Guards on this convoy. It is such an honor."
Jiang Qingyao: “…” They fought side by side without even pulling out their swords?
This time, I’m afraid, will be enough for them to brag about for the rest of their lives.
The streets became noisy and people looked surprised.
"Who are those people?"
Someone recognized him and asked, "How come the Qilin sleeves, the big golden sword, and the Qilin guards are here? Who is that person in the carriage?"
The carriage stopped in front of the Xue family's door.
The Xue family's servant asked, "May I ask who this distinguished guest is?"
"Xue Yunzhu's daughter, Jiang Qingyao."
Xue Yunzhu, that is the name of the late second daughter of the Xue family!
The servant immediately ran in to announce, "Miss Qingyao is back!"
Everybody came out.
Thinking about how they were separated by Yin and Yang in the previous life and she didn't even get to see them for the last time, Jiang Qingyao couldn't help but tear up.
"Why are you crying, Qiqi? Did those bastards from the Ningyuan Marquis's Mansion bully you?"
"Damn it! My uncle will bring people to demolish the Ningyuan Marquis's mansion right now."
Jiang Qingyao came back to her senses from her trance, "No, they can't bully me. I'm smart now."
Old Master Xue walked with great vigor, "Qiqi, Qiqi is here."
"Grandpa!" Jiang Qingyao went over and took his arm, smiling through tears, "I miss you so much."
My grandfather is still healthy today, but seven years later he was forced to commit suicide to prove his innocence because of a false accusation.
She would never allow anything to happen to the Xue family, and would never let the tragedy of her previous life happen again.
"Who are those outside?" Aunt Xue Huixin pointed at the guards and asked in confusion, feeling scared.
Jiang Qingyao said without even turning her head: "Marquis Anguo asked them to escort me back."
Everyone: “…”
Mr. Xue was well-informed. "Qilin Guard?"
Jiang Qingyao nodded: "Yeah."
Everyone was shocked again: "..."
He needs to send out the Qilin Guards every time he goes back to the Xue family? Doesn't this mean he treasures her like the apple of his eye? Does Marquis Anguo love Qiqi so much?
Seeing that they seemed to have misunderstood, Jiang Qingyao did not explain. She really couldn't explain it. She couldn't say that Concubine Qiao wanted to harm her and save them from worrying.
Soon, Jiang Qingyao asked the people from the escort agency to move in boxes of things.
"Qiqi, what is this?
"The rewards His Majesty gave me are too much. I can't use them all by myself. Let's have some fun together."
Tribute silk, palace treasures, precious ornaments...
Jiang Qingyao: "Don't people outside say that our Xue family is full of the smell of money and is vulgar?"
"I think if we put these in our home, who would dare to say that our Xue family is tacky? Things from the palace are hard to find, even for the rich and powerful, and they can't even buy them."
Everyone in the Xue family had a happy look on their faces.
"My Qiqi is so awesome! This is the reward from His Majesty, something from the palace!" Xue Huixin spoke in a loud voice, wishing that all the neighbors could hear how successful her niece was.
Jiang Qingyao stayed for dinner, reminisced with the Xue family, and asked Mr. Xue for the list of her mother's dowry.
My grandfather was careful at the time and made two copies of the list, one for the Xue family and the other for the Ningyuan Earl's Mansion.
The Xue family's copy was signed by the old uncle with his fingerprints in the presence of several clan elders.
Only the old uncle knew about this matter. Old Madam Jiang and Jiang Yisong were completely unaware of it. They thought that if they burned the dowry list in their hands, Jiang Qingyao would have no way to do anything to them.
Jiang Qingyao also asked who the Xue family had offended or who they had connections with.
Uncle Xue Chengye: "Our Xue family is just a merchant family. Who could we possibly offend? At most, it's just a few colleagues. Why is Qiqi asking this?"
Could it be that he was the one who was provoked in the following seven years?
Jiang Qingyao was startled. "No, just asking."
There is no clue here for the time being, so she can only shift her focus to finding a backer.
Jiang Qingyao stayed at Xue's house for one night and returned to her own yard the next morning.
"Cousin, long time no see."
"Oh, no, I should call you Jiang Qingyao. You are no longer the legitimate daughter of the Ningyuan Marquis's Mansion."
Qin Yurong appeared at the door, rubbing her belly with her small hands.
Jiang Qingyao glanced at her not-so-obvious belly and thought to herself that there must be something wrong with this person.
She turned around and didn't want to pay any attention to Qin Yurong, but she heard a soft and proud voice.
"I am pregnant with the prince's child."
Zhitao, Ning, Chulu couldn't help but began to roll her eyes.
Jiang Qingyao said indifferently: "Then what?"
Qin Yurong said proudly, "This will be the prince's eldest son. I will be his wife in the future. With a son by my side, I will have someone to rely on. Unlike you, you will never be able to have your own children in this lifetime."
Jiang Qingyao laughed out loud.
"I live in a big house, have endless money to spend, and I live well, eat well, and dress well."
"When I want a child in the future, I'll just find a nice and well-behaved one to adopt. Unlike you, giving birth at such a young age will damage your health, and you won't be able to nourish yourself. Your foundation will be damaged and it won't be able to be restored."
"Is it worth it for a man?"
"Bang--"
The door of the house was closed.
Qin Yurong stood there in a daze, as if a bucket of cold water had been poured on her.
