That shouldn't be the case. They have all moved and no longer live in the Mansion of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery. Wei Hanzhang personally went to see the yard where my younger brother lives, and there wasn't even a pond.

I always felt that apart from protecting the Jiang family, I had done nothing else, and the entire plot of the original novel collapsed.

The stone that had been weighing on my heart completely disappeared.

The heroine is dead, and no one will be restricted by the plot. Whether it is the Jiang family or the Jiang family, they will have a different ending.

Wei Hanzhang was actually feeling a little cheerful.

She looked up at her mother and saw that she was distracted. After all, she was a girl. After a little thought, she could understand Jiang's thoughts and advised her, "Don't think too much, mother. You are already one of the most charitable mistresses in the capital. Shen's death was caused by Seventh Sister and has nothing to do with you."

Jiang knew this very well. She said with some emotion, "Shen had one daughter and two sons. Now she and Qi Niang are dead. Only your two half brothers are left. They can already remember... Their biological mother died suddenly. What do you think they would feel?"

this……

Wei Hanzhang frowned slightly. She was not close to her two half brothers and they had never even spoken to each other. It seemed hypocritical to say that they had a sisterly and brotherly relationship. She even felt a little annoyed when she heard her mother's words.

I'm really fed up with these concubines and illegitimate children! Influenced by Wei Hansu's backstabbing, I always feel that brothers and sisters who are separated by a layer of belly are all disrespectful if they are close to you and resentful if they are far away, and they will stab you in the back if you are not careful.

"No matter what they think, mother, you have me and my brother. What do the two bastards think of you? Do you really have to rely on them to make a living?" She said with disgust, "According to the rules, set aside a yard to raise them, and separate them when they are old enough. Why bother?"

Jiang thought so too. She didn't abuse her two illegitimate children, but she didn't have a loving mother's heart either. But when she heard her daughter say this, she couldn't help but be surprised and said, "I thought Ranran would feel sympathy for them after seeing that they had lost their biological mother."

"In my heart, am I really so foolish and kind?" Wei Hanzhang's eyes widened, and he said angrily, "Their elder sister hurt me, and I should still feel sympathy for them?"

Besides, there are two lives in between. If you treat them well, you may be bitten back in return.

Wei Hanzhang was so scared after being bitten that he no longer wanted to have anything to do with these half-sisters and brothers.

"That's right," Jiang smiled and stroked her daughter's hair, saying softly, "My daughter will be the mother of the country in the future. She should be ruthless if she needs to be. If she is always kind, she will be easy to control."

"..."Wei Hanzhang couldn't stand her mother looking at her with the eyes of an innocent child. She didn't think she was very kind, she just didn't have the intention to harm others.

The mother and daughter chatted for a few more words, and then Madam Zhou came in with a book in her hand. She bowed to Wei Hanzhang first, and then said, "Madam, the gifts are ready. Please take a look and see if there is anything you need to add."

Jiang put down the round fan in her hand, took the booklet, read it, and added a few more items. After telling Madam Zhou to leave, she said to her daughter, "This is a gift for your grandparents. Ranran, you must come with me to visit your grandparents."

Of course he would go. Even if Jiang didn't ask, Wei Hanzhang would still go.

My maternal grandfather's family has not returned to Beijing for many years, and I'm afraid that friends and relatives from earlier years have become estranged. Although this is a newly-established earl's mansion, it has no foundation.

As the future Crown Princess, her personal visit was a great honor to the Jiang family.

………………

The Jiang family and the Wei family are not too far away, and the mansion was personally bestowed by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

The four-character plaque on the door reads "Cheng'enbo Mansion" in a majestic and powerful handwriting. Wei Hanzhang glanced at it and a smile appeared on the corner of his lips.

The three sisters-in-law exchanged pleasantries. When Madam Jiang Er saw Wei Hanzhang standing beside her, her eyes suddenly lit up. She took her hand and said happily, "Ranran is here too. Come in quickly. Your cousin has been talking about you for a long time."

Of the five existing daughters of the Jiang family, the eldest cousin Jiang Zhiqin and the third cousin Jiang Zhiqi were exiled with their father. After the imperial edict of pardon was issued, the family was already on their way back to Beijing.

Fourth cousin Jiang Zhiyi is the illegitimate daughter of the second wife and is ten years old this year. Fifth cousin Jiang Zhiyu is the legitimate daughter of the third wife and is only seven years old this year. Wei Hanzhang is not of the same age as them and they rarely play together.

The cousin that Madam Jiang was referring to was the second cousin Jiang Zhixue, the legitimate daughter of the second wife.

Wei Hanzhang grew up with several of her cousins ​​and they have a very good relationship. Upon hearing this, she responded with a smile.

Seeing this, Madam Jiang San took her other hand and said with a smile, "Your cousin has been thinking about you these days, and has been thinking about the two jars of Bamboo Leaf Green you promised her to go fishing by the river."

Wei Hanzhang choked slightly. His words of coaxing the little girl were known by the elders. He said with a bit of embarrassment, "At that time, Wu Niang always loved to pester me, and I coaxed her for fun."

"Then Ranran can tell her in person that our Fifth Mother likes you as her cousin very much." Mrs. Jiang San smiled and patted her hands, then warmly welcomed the mother and daughter into the door.

"..."Wei Hanzhang sensitively discovered that although her two aunts did not specifically mention her marriage to the prince, they treated her much more warmly.

Of course I was enthusiastic before, but I wasn’t this...diligent at that time.

She also discovered that only about two months after the last meeting, her two aunts seemed like different people. They were in high spirits, with a charming look in their eyes and eyebrows, and no longer had the anxiety they had when they were in prison.

It can be seen how great an impact the title will have on everyone in the Jiang family.

She felt somewhat complicated.

It’s as if the piece of pure land that I value most in my heart has been covered with dust without me noticing when.

...There's a feeling that things and people have changed.

The joy of seeing my relatives was dampened by the overly enthusiastic attitude of my two aunts.

Wei Hanzhang listened quietly to the greetings between his mother and aunt, and when he was occasionally mentioned, he said a few words stiffly.

It was not until she saw her grandparents in the main courtyard that she smiled joyfully. She bent her knees and was about to properly pay her respects to her grandfather and grandmother whom she had not seen for a long time, but her two aunts hurriedly stopped her.

Mr. Jiang was over 60 years old and had been in jail some time ago. He looked very energetic now. He smiled when he saw his daughter coming. He didn't bother to say a few more words of greeting. When he saw his granddaughter's actions, he stood up and said, "Ran Ran, what are you going to do? You are a noble person now. It is disrespectful for us to not go out to greet you based on our status. How can we accept your kneeling ceremony?"

Wei Hanzhang said, "I haven't married the prince yet, so how can my status be so high that I can't even bow to my elders?"
