Chapter 199 Return Gift
Just one day after Baihu Yaoyao arrived in the Mantuo Empire, all the families in the Mantuo Empire got the news.
They all sent gifts at the first opportunity, and their intention to curry favor with the Regent was obvious.
"Princess, this is a gift from the Jiang family." Shi Liu picked up the gift list and showed it to her.
Looking at the dazzling array of gadgets on the gift list, they are all things girls like.
It can be seen that the person who gave the gift was thoughtful.
"This Jiang family should be the Jiang family of the mighty general's mansion, right?"
The white fox Yaoyao picked up a peach blossom fan. The embroidered flowers were very delicate, and it was obvious that it was embroidered by a delicate woman.
This made her think of Jiang Yan, whom she rescued on the road.
The woman is like the peach blossoms on the fan, beautiful, gentle and fragile.
Shi Liu smiled and nodded, "It's the Weiwu General's Mansion. I heard that these little gadgets were prepared by Miss Jiang Yan who just returned from the countryside."
"Oh? Jiang Yan just came back from the countryside?" Baihu Yaoyao couldn't help but think of some novel plot.
Jiang Yan was being hunted in the middle of the night. Could it be that someone in the general's mansion didn't want her to come back, so they secretly killed her?
Ouch! This is such a bloody plot.
Shi Liu nodded, "Yes! I heard that Miss Jiang was born to General Weiwu's first wife. General Weiwu had been guarding the border for many years, so he sent Miss Jiang to the countryside to be raised. While General Weiwu was at the border, he married his current wife and had a son and a daughter."
"Now that the border is stable, the emperor summoned the general back to report on his work, and that's why Miss Jiang was brought back."
When Shi Liu talks about gossip, her eyes sparkle.
When he smiles, he has a pair of dimples, and his chubby face is so cute.
Shi Liu was a personal maid hired by her father, who said that she was a clever girl.
Baihu Yaoyao also likes this girl very much. Although she is a bit gossipy, she keeps her mouth shut. She is loyal to her, efficient and effective. She is indeed smart.
"Please prepare a return gift for the rest of the gifts! I will personally prepare Miss Jiang's return gift and then deliver it myself."
Baihu Yaoyao roared in her heart, this was definitely a typical routine of palace fighting novels.
She wants to go in person to support Jiang Yan and see the real-life version of the palace fighting novel.
"Yes, Princess." Shi Liu bowed and retreated.
The next day, in the mood to read a story about palace fighting, Baihu Yaoyao went directly to the mighty general's mansion.
The mighty general Jiang Wu was flattered and greeted him at the door with his whole family.
"I didn't know the princess was visiting my humble home. I'm so terrified."
Jiang Wu was only a fifth-rank military commander, and it was a great favor for the princess of the Regent's Palace to come to his residence in person.
"General, there's no need to be so polite. I came here today to chat with Sister Jiang Yan." Baihu Yaoyao smiled at Jiang Yan.
Only then did Jiang Yan recognize the identity of Baihu Yaoyao. She was actually the girl who saved her that day.
"Jiang Yan meets the princess."
Jiang Yan was flattered. How could she have deserved the most distinguished princess in the Prince Regent's Palace to call her sister?
"Sister Jiang Yan, please get up quickly." Baihu Yaoyao gave her a light support.
Jiang Wu was stunned. "Princess, you actually know my daughter?"
Baihu Yaoyao nodded, "Of course I know her! The night I came back, I happened to see my sister being hunted. I saved her. General, you must investigate thoroughly to find out why my sister was being hunted."
Jiang Wu was stunned. His daughter said that she was being hunted, but he didn't believe it at all. Now the princess said that she saved her. It seems that it is true?
"Yan Yan, are you being hunted? Why didn't you tell me earlier?" Jiang Wuzhuang asked with concern.
Jiang Yan looked coldly, "I told you, did you believe it, Daddy?"
"I..." Jiang Wu looked a little embarrassed.
"Oh! Princess! This is all a family matter. I'm sorry to have made you laugh at me. Come into the mansion and have some tea."
At this time, a woman came out to smooth things over.
She must not let the general ask any more questions, otherwise her plan would be exposed.
He walked to Jiang Yan's side and gave her a push secretly. She brought her children and squeezed in front of the white fox Yaoyao.
This is Jiang Wu’s second wife, Lin, who is survived by her son and daughter.
"Jiang Qingqing greets the princess."
"Jiang Wenshu greets the princess."
Seeing all this, Baihu Yaoyao couldn't help but sneer, "Madam, I'm talking to Sister Yan, what are you doing here?"
Isn't it just about wanting her own children to marry into a rich family?
She is not some newbie who cannot understand these tricks.
Lin's face turned ugly. "It's my fault! Back off now."
Lin reluctantly took her children and retreated behind her.
Jiang Wu glared at his wife fiercely, "Don't be rude in front of the princess!"
"Princess, please forgive me. I don't know the rules. Please come in!" Jiang Wu personally led the way.
Yaoyao, the white fox, followed them into the Jiang residence, and the group went to the front hall.
Yaoyao the white fox looked at Jiang Wu and sighed in her heart, as expected, if there is a stepmother, there will be a stepfather, the ancients were right.
Judging from Jiang Wu's expression, he seems to like Lin's children more.
You can tell from her clothes that Jiang Yan has been back for many days, but she is still wearing the same old clothes.
The other two were wearing silk and satin, and their heads were also filled with hairpins and rings.
Only Jiang Yan was there, with her hair held up by a wooden hairpin.
It was obvious that no one cared about her.
Baihu Yaoyao took Jiang Yan's hand and said, "Sister Yan, I like the gifts you gave me very much, especially the round fan. This is my return gift to you."
Behind her were two black-armored guards. They were her father's Qilin Guards, and her father sent them to serve as her bodyguards.
Jiang Wu was a general and recognized the Qilin Guards at a glance.
As the rumors said, the Regent doted on his daughter.
The Qilin Guards were all given to her as bodyguards.
Qilin Guard carried a large box and placed it on the ground.
"Sister Yan, this is my return gift to you, please accept it quickly."
She came here today on purpose, just to support Jiang Yan.
All the dignitaries in Manchester gave her gifts, but only the gift from Jiang Yan was the one she liked the most.
It was normal for her to come in person to return the gift.
"Thank you, Princess." Jiang Yan's eyes were sour.
She knew that the princess came to support her.
After giving the gifts, it was getting late, so I decided to go back and have dinner with my dad.
He stood up and glanced at everyone, "Mighty General, Sister Yan is my good sister. I don't want her to be wronged in the mansion."
Lin shrank her neck and dared not look up.
She was afraid that Baihu Yaoyao would vent her anger on her the next moment.
Jiang Wu promised bitterly, "Don't worry, Princess. Yanyan is my daughter, and I will definitely not treat her harshly."
"That's great! The Empress Dowager will host a welcoming banquet for me in a few days. Only officials of the fourth rank and above can bring their families to attend. I allow you to bring only Sister Yan with you. I will send you these fine materials to make Sister Yan a nice dress."
"General Mighty, did you hear that clearly?"
Baihu Yaoyao This is a warning to them.
"yes!"
They dared not refuse.
Among the many officials in the court, only those of the fourth rank and above were qualified to enter the palace to attend various banquets.
Now that Baihu Yaoyao has granted Jiang Wu permission to participate, it is the greatest honor for the Mighty General's Mansion.
Jiang Wu will definitely seize this opportunity and treat Jiang Yan better in the future.
