Jiang Yuanxi, who had just finished feeding, was lying on the bed with her big bright eyes open.
I was very anxious.
【What should I do? What should I do?】
It was getting dark, but her parents were still teasing her.
[If my parents were gone, my dream of becoming a young lady would be shattered.]
"Yuanxi, smile for Daddy." Jiang Fengyuan hugged Jiang Yuanxi and spun around.
Jiang Yuanxi looked at his father with more and more sympathy.
She had no choice but to bar her gums.
Jiang Fengyuan was excited, "Xin Niang, look, Yuan Xi smiled at me."
Chen pursed her lips and smiled, watching the interaction between the father and daughter.
Chen knew what her daughter was worried about, but she couldn't say it out loud now.
What if I tell her and never hear her voice again?
The little one can't speak, so the communication between them now depends entirely on listening to their daughter's thoughts.
The couple also found that listening to their daughter's inner thoughts was a very interesting thing.
The two prayed to God for a long time before they got such a precious baby.
In their view, Yuan Xi was sent by God to save their family.
[Dad, you are still laughing. It was the girl who cleaned your study room. She was bribed by the second wife and then placed the private seal of the Duke in your study room.]
Jiang Fengyuan's expression froze.
I had forgotten about this.
He was just waiting for the other party to come over and question him, not knowing that it is difficult to guard against a thief in your own home no matter how hard you try.
He handed his daughter over to Chen.
"Xin Niang, I suddenly remembered something. I will be back soon."
Chen knew what he was going to do, so she simply didn't ask any questions.
Looking at her daughter in her arms, Chen's eyes became more gentle.
"Don't worry, Yuan Xi, Daddy and Mommy will definitely protect Yuan Xi."
Jiang Yuanxi looked at Chen steadily, with a dazed look in his eyes.
No one ever said they wanted to protect her.
She used to be the god of war in heaven, and she was the only one who protected thousands of subjects.
In the eyes of the world, she is terrifyingly powerful and awe-inspiring.
But she is also a girl, she has a soft spot in her heart and she also needs someone to love her.
This life is so good.
Jiang Yuanxi cried, feeling very aggrieved.
Chen hugged her daughter and comforted her for a long time.
"Don't worry, Yuan Xi, daddy will be back soon." Chen thought her daughter was worried about the general but could do nothing, so she cried.
[Mother, I was so moved that I cried.] Jiang Yuanxi continued to cry, soaking Chen's clothes.
[No one has ever said they would protect me. I am so touched.]
Chen felt more and more heartbroken, wondering how miserable her daughter's life must have been in her previous life.
No matter what, Yuan Xi is her daughter now, and she will be the one to protect her from now on.
It took a long time before it calmed down.
Chen handed the child to Chunzhi and went to the inner room to change her clothes.
Jiang Yuanxi was so tired from crying that she couldn't hold on any longer and fell asleep.
As soon as Chen came out, Chuntao came in hurriedly.
"Madam, it's bad, the Duke has arrived."
Duke Anguo brought his men and rushed angrily to Jiang Fengyuan's study.
As soon as he came in and sat down, he waved his sleeves and pointed at Jiang Fengyuan.
"Rebellious son, kneel down!"
Even though Jiang Fengyuan knew about this incident, he still felt a dull pain in his heart.
He stood respectfully, "I wonder what's the matter with you coming here this time, Dad?"
"Humph," Duke Anguo glared at his eldest son, "either you hand it over yourself or I ask someone to search it!"
When he met his father, whom he hadn't seen for more than half a year, he directly convicted him without asking for the truth of the matter.
Jiang Fengyuan smiled bitterly in his heart.
"Dad, I don't understand what you are talking about?"
Duke Anguo frowned, his eyes full of disgust.
As soon as he saw him, Duke Anguo recalled those unpleasant days.
"Kneel down! You are guilty of hiding the state's private seal!"
With a thud, Jiang Fengyuan knelt on the ground with an indifferent expression.
Then he raised his head and looked at Duke Anguo firmly.
"Dad, I didn't."
"Wan Zeng, search!"
Wan Zeng looked at Duke Anguo and then at the eldest son.
After all, he watched the eldest young master grow up, so Wan Zeng knew exactly what kind of person he was.
But the Duke just doesn't like the eldest son.
If we search the eldest son's study today, who knows what rumors outsiders will spread.
Wan Zeng did not move, and Duke Anguo became anxious.
"Why, you want to resist me now?"
Wan Zeng wanted to persuade him again, but saw the young master shaking his head at him.
"I guess Dad came here because he listened to my second brother."
Duke Anguo snorted coldly, agreeing with what he said.
"Your second brother is thinking about me. If the private seal is lost, who in the entire Duke's Mansion can afford it?"
Jiang Fengyuan stopped talking and simply let them search.
The guards searched Jiang Fengyuan's study thoroughly but couldn't find the place where the private seal was hidden.
Jiang Fengyuan stood up. "When Dad came in, he said that his son had taken a private seal, but his son didn't even know what that thing looked like. Dad only listened to his second brother and never believed his son."
"The son feels his father is unfair!"
Duke Anguo stood up angrily and pointed at Jiang Fengyuan, "How dare you question me!"
Jiang Fengyuan straightened his chest and said, "Since Dad wants to search, search my second brother's place as well. Otherwise, I will resign tomorrow and take my mother back home."
This kind of desperate attitude scared everyone.
Duke Anguo fell on the stool and said in disbelief: "How dare you threaten me."
Wan Zeng saw that something was not right and tried to persuade them from the side.
"Master, you are favored by the Emperor and are the most promising child in our Duke's Mansion. If you resign, what will the Duke do?"
Duke Anguo also knew that the entire Duke's Mansion was only able to survive thanks to his eldest son.
