"Greetings to the Second Madam and the Ninth Miss."

As soon as she entered the front door, Wu Ma, who was beside Liu, came forward and said with a smile, "The old lady told you early in the morning that when you come back, you should go to her first. The Marquis is also waiting for you in the main courtyard."

Jiang's expression remained unchanged, and she smiled and replied, "I understand."

He tilted his head to look at the little girl on the side and said softly, "Ranran, go back to the yard and rest first. You must be tired these past two days."

Wei Hanzhang didn't move. She felt that Liu had sent someone to wait for her, and that they had bad intentions...

"I haven't seen grandma for a few days. How about I go and pay my respects to grandpa and grandma?" She looked at Aunt Wu and said in a very calm tone, "Can I go?"

"What are you talking about, Miss Nine? You have the filial piety to pay respects to the Marquis and the old lady, so why do you need my consent?" Nanny Wu paused, then smiled and said, "It's just that... the old lady specifically said that she has something to tell the second lady... There is no rush to pay respects, otherwise, you can go tomorrow?"

This cunning slave!

How could Wei Hanzhang not hear the hidden meaning in her words? His face suddenly darkened and he was about to speak, but was stopped by Jiang with a glare.

"Go back to your Tingfeng Pavilion. My Lord has something to discuss. Don't be curious about a girl like you who hasn't even reached the age of marriage yet."

After instructing her daughter, Jiang glanced at the most capable nanny beside her mother-in-law and said with a faint smile, "Let's go."

Why would he send his confidant to guard here and call her over? He was just dissatisfied with the fact that her daughter-in-law had stayed with her children for two days at her parents' home, where she had just committed a crime, and he wanted to scold her.

It's just a criticism from the mother-in-law. It's not a dangerous place, so there's no need for Ranran to worry about it.

However, this was also a sign of filial piety from her daughter, and Jiang was actually very understanding.

Wei Hanzhang looked at Jiang's receding figure and felt uneasy when thinking of her fate in the original novel.

Although the Jiang family has changed its original fate of being overthrown, its reputation is not very good. As a result, Jiang, a married woman, is still a relative of a convicted official.

Moreover, the sons of the Jiang family in this generation are not outstanding. Not to mention the eldest uncle, Wei Hanzhang's other two uncles are not really talented people. Compared with the loyal and brave Marquis Mansion, their official positions are simply not worth mentioning. If Wei Ping really wants to take this opportunity to make trouble...

It wasn't that Wei Hanzhang maliciously speculated that his grandfather was an unjust person. It was mainly because... in the few times they met, Wei Ping behaved like a minister who loved to scheme and try to figure out his superiors' intentions. He didn't act at all like a magnanimous and unperturbed head of a noble family.

In this patriarchal era where filial piety is the most important thing, even if Wei Ping does not have a title or is not a marquis, he still has the final say in the Wei family.

As the head of the family, if he really disliked Jiang's daughter-in-law, who was a relative of a criminal official, and ordered his son to divorce her, what would Wei Heng do as a son? However... the matter should not be that serious.

After all, Jiang's current situation is different from the original novel. She has children by her side, and her family is not in ruins.

Wei Hanzhang was thinking about his troubles all the way. He returned to his Linfeng Residence and wanted to read quietly for a while. However, he could not concentrate on reading a single word after reading for a long time. Instead, he felt more and more irritated.

It is now June and summer has officially arrived. The hot weather makes people feel depressed. Wei Hanzhang dropped the book in his hand and walked towards the Tingfeng Pavilion in the backyard, ready to enjoy the breeze and cool off.

When he passed the hidden gate, his steps paused.

I remembered that I had agreed with that 'Prince Xiao' to meet him two days ago...

Today is the day...

Wei Hanzhang stopped and stood in front of the courtyard gate. He was silent for a long time. Suddenly, he sneered and said to Lu Lan behind him: "You go over there..."

…………

Before we knew it, it is already June. The weather is getting hotter and the daybreaks are coming earlier.

Xiao Junzhan was in a very good mood as he was about to see his beloved girl. Passing by the flowers, he saw clusters of large pink roses swaying in the wind and blooming hard. He couldn't help but stop and take a closer look.

After a few breaths, he carefully picked off a bunch of flowers himself and said to Ning Hai, "After trimming them, find a jade vase to put them in. I'm sure Ranran will like them when he sees them."

Ning Hai agreed in a low voice, took the flower branch from his master, and said with a smile: "How about placing it on the tea table in front of the window? Miss Wei likes to sit there to drink tea and read."

Xiao Junzhan glanced at him, nodded slightly, and said calmly: "You are very observant."

"..." Ning Hai was silent for a moment, feeling very confused. Why did he have to be reminded of this even though he was more meticulous?

The sun gradually rose higher, the shadows of the trees outside the window became longer and thinner, and the atmosphere in the study changed from quiet and peaceful at the beginning to gradually tense as time passed and there were fewer and fewer memorials on the desk.

After putting down the last memorial, Xiao Junzhan looked outside the door as usual, but still did not see the familiar figure coming in. He frowned slightly, and a strange emotion emerged in his heart.

That was something I had never experienced before I met Ran Ran...

Restless.

"Da da da"...

It was the sound of Xiao Junzhan's fingertips tapping on the table.

Ning Hai, who was standing aside, listened to the dull knocking sounds and began to feel nervous.

As a close attendant, he understood that this was an action that His Highness would only make when he was upset and wanted to calm himself down and think.

After thinking for a moment, Xiao Junzhan's brows relaxed slightly and said, "The Jiang family is leaving Beijing today, and Ranran went to see them off. He really didn't come so early."

"Yes." Hearing his own prince's words, Ning Hai hurriedly smiled and said, "Miss Wei is close to the Jiang family, so it's natural that she is reluctant to leave. It's normal to talk about farewell for a long time and miss the time."

Xiao Junzhan closed his eyes and rested without saying anything more.

Ning Hai retreated quietly and quickly called a servant over. Just as he was about to give a few instructions, he saw the maid guarding the gate walking towards him, followed by a maid dressed in the uniform of a maid in the Wei Mansion.

Seeing that someone finally came over and it was not Wei Hanzhang, Ning Hai's heart was pounding. He quickly walked down the stairs and asked anxiously, "But what happened to Miss Wei?"

Lu Lan was stunned for a moment by his stern look, then she bowed and said, "Miss, it's okay."

Hearing this, Ning Hai breathed a sigh of relief, and then wondered, "Then why didn't Miss Wei come here herself?"

"..." Lu Lan lowered her head to avoid his gaze and whispered, "My daughter asked me to bring a message to your master."

Send a message? Ning Hai didn't notice her uneasiness. When he heard that Miss Wei didn't come, but at least asked the maid to send a message, he felt completely relaxed.

He hurriedly led people towards the study.

Xiao Junzhan had heard the noise outside a long time ago, so he walked out. Seeing Lulan, he frowned and asked, "Where's Ranran?"
