"Ran Ran, do you know the Prince of Chen?" Jiang took her daughter's hand and asked, "Why does he look like he's looking at you?"

"..." Thinking of the bottle of plaster that was rejected, Wei Hanzhang was silent for a moment and said, "We met once."

Wei Heng was startled and kept silent for a few breaths. It was unknown what he was thinking about. Suddenly, he said calmly, "We are all colleagues. Since we have met, I will go over and say hello."

Judging from the situation, it was Chen Zishu who released the people personally. Being able to allow the Jiang family to be released from prison in a dignified manner was probably also his instruction, so it is only natural for him to say a few polite words.

Wei Heng was about to go over, but he didn't expect that the person over there had already walked over by himself.

Chen Zishu was dressed in the uniform of a third-rank official, but he bowed to Wei Heng and Jiang and greeted them in a gentle voice.

When his eyes swept across Wei Hanzhang's face, he paused and then smiled slightly.

Wei Hanzhang: “…”

He could clearly feel that Jiang's hand pulling his arm used a little more force.

She couldn't help but start to wonder in her heart, why is he smiling at her like that! She and this guy can't be that familiar with each other!

Jiang and Wei Heng did not miss Chen Zishu's abnormal attitude. They had some thoughts in their minds and began to look at him with subtle scrutiny.

However, the Jiang family had just been released from prison and were still waiting in the car to be settled, so this was not a place where they could have a good chat.

After a few pleasantries, Wei Heng said, "Thank you, nephew, for your concern for my Yue family. I am not free today, otherwise I would definitely invite you to my house to get drunk."

"Uncle, you are too polite. It's just a small favor. How can I say that you are taking care of me?"

Chen Zishu was extremely humble. He bowed again and said with a smile, "But I will remember your dinner and I will definitely visit you someday."

Wei Heng only said a few polite words, but he never thought that he would actually agree. He was startled at first, but then he saw that the young master of the Duke's Mansion unconsciously looked towards his daughter, and he finally confirmed his thoughts.

It is obvious that the real purpose is not to drink.

Not only Wei Heng discovered it, but also Jiang and Wei Hanzhang himself discovered it.

Jiang had never expected that her young daughter would be involved with the Prince of Chen just a few months after returning to the capital. She was both surprised and happy for a moment.

In terms of background, ability, character and appearance, Chen Zishu is the best among the children of aristocratic families.

He was a third-rank official who held real power at the age of twenty and had not yet arranged a marriage. Among the noble ladies in the capital, he was the top candidate for a son-in-law.

Such a person actually has feelings for his daughter.

Then what is the need for the Gu family and what is the need for Gu family Dalang?

Jiang just felt that something good had finally happened in the past six months.

If the daughter had to go through a broken engagement before she could get such a good son-in-law, then she would have understood what it meant to say, "A blessing in disguise."

It’s a surprise, but my mother’s family is still waiting to be settled, and this is not a place to talk, so I’ll put these children’s matters aside for now.

After nodding slightly to Chen Zishu and saying goodbye, the couple took their daughter into the carriage.

The Jiang family members, who had just experienced the shock of prison, were in very bad spirits. Except for Jiang Zhixue, the second daughter of the Jiang family, who looked over with tears in her eyes after Wei Hanzhang got on the car, the adults' voices were weak, with only the voice of Jiang Shi asking about her brothers and nephews with concern.

He stepped over the brazier that had been prepared long ago, and several old maids who stayed in the Jiang Mansion in the capital city said a few festive words beside him, and the disaster was over.

The Jiang Mansion in the capital city is a courtyard with four entrances. It has been kept clean by servants over the years, so it is relatively clean.

The family first arrived at the main courtyard, where a doctor was already waiting. He first took the pulse of Mr. Jiang and Mrs. Jiang.

Jiang was standing by, and after the doctor had checked everyone's pulse, she asked, "Are my parents okay?"

"The two elders are old, and they were frightened again this time. Fortunately, they had a good foundation when they were young, so taking good care of them will not have much impact." The old doctor held a brush and wrote a prescription, advising: "The way to maintain health is to avoid thinking too much and worrying."

When something like this happens at home, how can I not be worried and anxious?

Old Master Jiang glanced at his two sons in the hall, who were so frightened after such an ordeal that they still looked frightened, as if their spines were broken. He also thought of his eldest son, who was exiled to Lingnan and whom he didn't know whether he would see again in this life, and tears streamed down his face.

This generation of the Jiang family is ruined.

It was all his fault. He knew clearly that his eldest son had a bad temper, no talent and was not fit for important positions, but he still took the trouble to give him an official position so that he would not be a commoner and be inferior to his two younger brothers.

Who would have thought that such a minor official of the fifth rank could actually cause such a disaster that could exterminate his entire clan.

Mr. Jiang had been an official for decades, working diligently for the livelihood of the people, and had finally earned a good reputation after serving two dynasties. Unexpectedly, he would have to visit the Dali Temple prison before he was old. The originally energetic old man had lost most of his energy and spirit.

The old man waved his hand to his descendants dejectedly and said, "Go and have a rest. We will return to Xuzhou in three days."

Hearing this, Jiang was stunned. She was about to open her mouth to dissuade her, but her husband grabbed her shoulders and stopped her, so she had to give up.

Wei Hanzhang was also anxious. She held Old Zhao's hand and said, "Grandpa and grandma, why don't you stay a few more days and recover before going back?"

Facing his most beloved granddaughter who was raised in his arms, Grandpa Jiang relaxed his expression but still shook his head without saying a word.

Madam Jiang obeyed her husband's orders in everything. She patted her granddaughter's hand and said lovingly, "Ranran, you stay with your grandmother for the next few days. Let me take a good look at you."

This may be the last day that the grandparents and grandchildren will be together in this life.

Wei Hanzhang felt a lump in his throat and nodded repeatedly.

The two old people were in poor spirits, and their children and grandchildren did not dare to stay and disturb their peace.

Jiang remained silent until they walked out of the main courtyard, then she spoke: "Why didn't the master let me persuade my father? How can his body withstand the fatigue of traveling?"

She couldn't help but wonder in her heart, could it be that her husband had the same idea as her father-in-law, thinking that the Jiang family's staying in the capital for too long would be detrimental to the Wei family's reputation?

After learning yesterday that only the eldest branch of the Jiang family was sentenced to exile, and that his parents and two brothers were released as a mercy, Jiang began to prepare to see his brother off and personally go to the Dali Temple Prison to pick up his parents.

However, she had already accepted her mother-in-law's advice, saying that she should send a few servants to take care of things immediately and there was no need for her, the second wife of the Marquis's Mansion, to show up in person.

Jiang naturally refused, but fortunately Wei Heng, as her husband, also stood on the opposite side of the family this time and supported her decision. He went to the study and talked with his father for half an hour.

I thought my father-in-law was convinced, but unexpectedly, when he went out this morning, someone from the main courtyard sent a message, saying: When you go to see off the Jiang family, don't act too high-profile, be careful of the impact, and don't attract the attention of those who have ulterior motives.
