Jiang Linger put down the book in her hand, walked to the window, and looked at the scenery outside with a distant gaze, seemingly with some sadness.

"Father came to the capital this time to handle an important court matter. His Majesty said that he would promote father to a higher position and give him a higher rank."

Father said he was taking us to see the prosperity of the capital, but he didn’t get to meet you, Sister Jinyue.”

Su Jinyue nodded gently and asked casually, "Is that matter related to the war on the border?"

Jiang Chongtian's attention was also drawn to her, and there was a hint of complexity in his gaze as he looked at Su Jinyue.

Jiang Linger sighed softly, turned around and looked at Su Jinyue, "It is indeed related to the border war."

"In recent years, the border has been in turmoil. As an important official in the court, my father has an increasingly heavy burden on his shoulders."

"We know about what happened to my uncle. The place where we were originally located would also be affected. Father had already decided to defend the city at all costs. It was also thanks to my sister who rushed to the border in time and waited for reinforcements that my father was able to achieve his merit."

Jiang Linger smiled at Su Jinyue and said, "If it weren't for you, I don't know if father would have survived this."

Yes!

Su Jinyue suddenly remembered that the last time her uncle went to the capital for a promotion was after the prince was attacked.

Although Su Yan's dereliction of duty resulted in the loss of two cities, my uncle managed to hold on that time. Although he was seriously injured, fortunately everyone was safe and sound.

It was her timely arrival in this life that seemed to have changed her uncle's fate.

"Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore." Su Jinyue said to the two of them, "I'll take you to the back garden of the Marquis' Mansion. It's boring to stay in my yard."

A few people came to the pavilion in the back garden and sat down. The maid brought some cakes and tea and then left.

Su Jinyue seemed a little absent-minded.

"What are you thinking about?" Jiang Ling'er walked over and sat next to Su Jinyue.

The cool breeze blew through Jiang Ling'er's hair. She asked Su Jinyue softly, "You only talk about us, but not you?"

Su Jinyue came back to her senses and was stunned. She smiled at Jiang Linger and said, "Me? I'm fine in the Marquis' Mansion. Nothing's wrong."

"Yeah?"

Jiang Linger shook her head helplessly, "I can see your situation. The one your aunt loves the most is your adopted sister."

"I have traveled extensively with my father and met many people. I can still tell which smiles are genuine and which are fake."

Jiang Linger held the back of Su Jinyue's hand with her warm hand, "She provoked you in the front hall. I heard it."

"I heard a lot about your story all the way to the capital."

Jiang Linger's voice was somewhat indignant, "About the matter of breaking off the engagement, if your uncle and aunt didn't agree, how dare the Xie family humiliate you like this!"

"Today, I deliberately made Su Zhiyao feel unhappy. You are my only cousin!"

The tip of her nose felt sore. This was the first time Su Jinyue felt like crying since her rebirth.

Even Jiang Linger could see what kind of person Su Zhiyao was, but no one in the Marquis' Mansion could tell. She just felt it was extremely ironic.

"Cousin." Jiang Chongtian said, "Father is back in Beijing this time and he doesn't plan to leave again. If anyone dares to bully you, just send someone to report to your elder brother, and your elder brother will stand up for you!"

"You are so reckless, just don't cause any trouble for your sister." Jiang Linger glanced at her unreliable brother.

Jiang Ling'er said to Su Jinyue with some distress: "Even if we are not in the capital, grandparents are still in the scenery, why don't you go look for them?"

It’s not that Su Jinyue hadn’t thought about it before, but…

She sighed and shook her head helplessly, "My grandparents are old, and I don't want them to worry about me."

"Although the matter of breaking off the engagement has caused a lot of uproar in the capital, I don't think it has reached my grandparents yet. If they knew about it, they would be worried about me."

Jiang Linger's eyes softened, she patted the back of Su Jinyue's hand and comforted her, "Sister, you are always like this, swallowing all the bitterness in your stomach."

"But don't forget, we are a family, blood is thicker than water. If you have any difficulties, please speak up and let us bear it together."

Su Jinyue looked at Jiang Ling'er with warmth in her eyes, and a warm current surged in her heart. She whispered, "Cousin, thank you."

At this moment, a burst of hurried footsteps broke the silence in the pavilion. A servant ran in panting and said anxiously, "Miss, it's bad. The old lady's old illness suddenly relapsed. The situation is critical. Please go to Rong'an Hall as soon as possible!"

Su Jinyue's face changed, and she immediately stood up and said to Jiang Ling'er and Jiang Chongtian: "Sorry, my grandmother has an emergency, I have to go there right away!"

Jiang Ling'er and Jiang Chongtian also stood up. Jiang Ling'er asked with concern, "Sister Jinyue, do you need Chongtian and I to go with you?"

Su Jinyue shook her head. "No, you just arrived. Have a good rest first. You don't need to worry about the affairs in the mansion."

Inside Rong'an Hall.

The doctor was seeing Old Madam Su's pulse. Mrs. Liu, Su Qiaoshan, and her mother were all there. Su Zhiyao was also among them, with a look of concern on her face.

Su Jinyue walked through the crowd and quickly came to Old Lady Su, "Grandma."

Old Lady Su's face turned pale. After seeing Su Jinyue, she gained some strength, "Jinyue... come and help me take a look!"

Everyone's eyes fell on Su Jinyue, some of them with complicated expressions.

Su Jinyue saw that Old Madam Su did not look well, so she stepped forward and took her pulse.

Her expression changed and her brows furrowed slightly.

Seeing Su Jinyue like this, Liu couldn't help but sneer, "You can't be so incomprehensible that you are just pretending here!"

"The doctor can't help with this old disease, is there any way you can do it?"

Su Qiaoshan gritted his teeth and cursed at Liu in a low voice: "Shut up!"

Su Jinyue pretended not to hear what they said, and said to the doctor beside her: "Does grandma need Xuelian to treat her condition?"

The doctor's expression suddenly changed, and he sighed dejectedly, "Yes... but the snow lotus medicine is really hard to find. You may not even find a single pearl in the entire capital."

Jiang Caiping looked at Su Jinyue and asked her anxiously, "Since you only want to use the snow lotus, do you have any snow lotus in your hand?"

Under everyone's expectant gaze, Su Jinyue shook her head and said, "I used to have some, but my grandmother had people pull out the herbs in my yard. I only had one snow lotus seed, and now it's gone."
