Chapter 79 Homecoming
Lord Jiang also had his pride, and he could not possibly handle family matters in front of the Su siblings.
He planned to take Jiang Yuming home before making any further plans.
Su Yunyi saw his dilemma and kindly reminded the three parties who were in the fog: "Didn't the Imperial Master say that there is a solution and asked you to look for him again in three days?"
Yes, it's resolved!
So what exactly was this family doing? The happy ending is here!
Jiang Yuming stubbornly insisted: "Nobody cares about what I think!"
Lord Jiang looked troubled, glancing at one after another, unable to abandon any of them. But he still felt guilty for sacrificing his youngest son to save his daughter.
He dared not speak up for fear of upsetting his son.
Chirp chirp, taking advantage of the fact that no one can hear her thoughts, chatter on and on.
[Forget about opinions, can we go home first? Do you not want this leg anymore?]
Kids these days aren't as mature as I was; they throw tantrums and get a beating. Listen to me, true heartbreak isn't a tantrum, it's being ignored. When they panic, you've won.
Su Yunyi was extremely grateful that he was the only one who could hear Qiuqiu's thoughts. If others could hear them too, who knows how many more heartbroken people there would be in the capital.
Su Yunyi coughed lightly, interrupting Qiuqiu's endless reverie, and pointed to Jiang Yuming's leg: "Let's treat the leg first."
[My second brother really is on the same wavelength as me!]
Moving Jiang Yuming was a huge undertaking. Lord Jiang and Su Yunyi were working up a sweat, and Sister Jiang was just as busy.
[Try harder!] Chuchu's eyes are already brimming with tears. [I've already sucked in my stomach, why can't I still pick her up?]
[Make a mistake, let's try again!]
This time she stopped breathing!
It was clear that none of the people present were not embarrassed.
At the critical moment, Deputy General Peng descended from the heavens like a god, asking, "Do you need my assistance?"
Lord Jiang was so busy that he was covered in sweat and hadn't even managed to carry his son on his back yet. Just as he was about to thank Vice General Peng for his help, a burly man walked right past the father and son and carefully picked up Chiu Chiu, who was lying there practicing his breath-holding technique.
No, you're all this anxious just to hold this little one?
Lieutenant General Peng couldn't let someone else have this good fortune. As military commanders, they fought on the battlefield, committing sins of killing, and they believed most in the cycle of cause and effect and the law of fate.
Only Jiujiu heard what this uncle who looked like a black bear demon was muttering.
"Hug the lucky baby, absorb some good fortune, and live a long life."
[You have good taste!]
Su Yunyi glanced curiously at the slightly excited Qiuqiu. What's wrong now?
It seems that none of the family members really believe that Jiujiu is so blessed, which makes Jiujiu very distressed. Now that a discerning uncle has come, Jiujiu must bless him!
Lieutenant General Peng didn't know that his action at this moment had won a glimmer of hope for his future self. He picked up Jiujiu, lifted Jiang Yuming up with one hand, turned sideways and threw him behind him. Jiang Yuming was so scared that he hugged his neck tightly.
Let's go!
Chirp chirped, "Charge!"
Su Yunyi exclaimed: "Deputy General Peng has great arm strength!"
Lord Jiang nodded in agreement: "The martial arts champion of the thirty-third year of Xuanwen, with strength that could uproot mountains and an aura that could overwhelm the world, is truly remarkable!"
He turned to look at his little daughter, "Do you want daddy to carry you?"
Sister Jiang ignored them and followed Vice General Peng away with small steps.
Lord Jiang sighed in disappointment. Su Yunyi opened his mouth, unsure how to comfort him, and whispered, "Lord Jiang, let's leave here first and then talk about what happens next."
Vice General Peng carried one on his back and another in his arms, running very fast. By the time Lord Jiang and Su Yunyi were struggling to get Sister Jiang up the slope, they had already settled Qiuqiu and Jiang Yuming into the carriage.
The four white horses were strong and agile, looking somewhat like warhorses raised in a military camp, with the Yun family's military flag flying over their bodies.
"This is the carriage of the Yun family's commander!"
Lord Jiang exclaimed in surprise, "This carriage was bestowed upon us by His Majesty!"
Back then, General Yun won thirteen great victories against neighboring countries, capturing six of their cities. After returning to the capital, he was impeached by officials for his arrogance and riding his horse in the marketplace. His Majesty openly rebuked him but secretly rewarded him, ordering the Ministry of Works to commission this carriage for war horses, so that the Yun clan's military flag could be seen in the marketplace for riding horses.
“The old general’s carriage is perfect for carrying his granddaughter.” Without further ado, Deputy General Peng grabbed Sister Jiang by the collar, pulled her up, and shoved her into the carriage. “Let’s go!”
The old general said in his letter that only Miss Chiu Chiu could ride in this carriage, so they were actually lucky!
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when Jiang Yuming was found and brought back. Surrounded by his friends, he choked up several times as he recounted the night he fell down the slope on his way out of the city. He had such a difficult time!
Deputy General Peng's face darkened: "You left the city at night? How did you get out?"
Jiang Yuming scratched his head: "He crawled out through a dog hole."
"A dog hole?!" Deputy General Peng jumped three feet high, his dark face turning ashen, and turned to leave.
There are dog holes in the city gates?!
If we patrol the city every day and don't find anything, but one day something happens, none of them will survive!
Hey, why did the kind uncle leave?
Su Yunyi removed the chubby little hand from his face and sighed, "Luckily, Jiang Yuming reminded me, otherwise Deputy General Peng would have left sooner or later."
That "go" is something else entirely!
The Jiang family's affairs were beyond their control, and after they took turns comforting him, they left one after another.
Lord Jiang was preoccupied with this matter, so he knelt down at the entrance of the Imperial Preceptor's residence, only to receive one word in return—"Wait."
The family was somewhat at a loss when Sister Jiang arrived, especially her two older siblings who didn't know how to treat her.
The small, helpless girl surrounded by people looked as pitiful as a lamb that had wandered into a pack of wolves.
Jiang Yuming shouted to her rescue: "Let her come with me!"
Sister Jiang, who was pointed at, said: "Me?"
"That's right!" Jiang Yuming was the little tyrant of the family, and when he got stubborn, no one could do anything about him. "I've already shared my life with you, so if you don't come with me, who will you go with!"
"Hurry up!"
Sister Jiang was thin and small, but she was not someone to be bullied. She turned Jiang Yuming's wheelchair and pushed the person away according to his instructions.
Whether she can sit comfortably or not is not her concern...
Jiang Yuming: My butt hurts!
The Jiang family endured three agonizing days. The news even reached the palace, where nobles eagerly awaited the spectacle, some even granting Lord Jiang leave to visit the Imperial Preceptor's residence and seek clarification.
When the three-day appointment arrived, the Jiang family rushed to the Marquis of Wenyang's residence, picked up Qiuqiu, and prepared to go to the Imperial Preceptor's residence to get to the bottom of things.
Su Junyao looked at his empty arms and followed, cursing, "What an unreasonable family! What does your going to the Imperial Advisor have to do with my family!"
"Jiang Chunhe, give me back my daughter!"
Chirp chirps excitedly: 【Nobody can disturb me while I'm watching the show!】
Upon arriving at the Imperial Preceptor's residence, Yuewen had been waiting for a long time.
"Please come in with me, all three of you."
Sister Jiang stood beside the Imperial Advisor, and Jiang Yuming also struggled to wheel his wheelchair over, but the third person was nowhere to be seen.
Yuewen suddenly realized: "Oh, I forgot she can't walk yet."
Chirping peeked out cautiously: "Who is it? Is it a cripple?"
