In fact, half a year ago, Ye Chen could have directly proposed to Jiang Qiao, the idiot.
But Shi Yechen was worried that it would be too direct and others would be able to discover his thoughts, so he encouraged Jiang Qiao to go to the emperor to ask for an opportunity to go to the war, and let Jiang Qiao ask to marry him.
This is the only way Shi Yechen can get away. He cares about his reputation the most, so how could he take the initiative to marry such a fool!
So of course Jiang Qiao had to force his father to do it, then he would be the victim...
"Miss Jiang, long time no see. Did the expedition go smoothly?" Shi Yechen's eyes were full of warmth, as if he really cared about her.
Jiang Qiao also calmed down and raised the corners of his lips, "I hope your Highness is keeping me in mind and that everything is going well."
Shi Yechen finally asked about something that concerned him, "I heard that the emperor summoned you to the palace yesterday. I wonder what Miss Jiang asked for?"
He thought Jiang Qiao would be eager to ask his father to marry him, but that didn't happen. Shi Yechen didn't wait for the news of the marriage being granted.
Ji Zhan frowned slightly when he heard this. Why would Shi Yechen care about such things?
But he didn't say much because he was also a little curious.
Half a year ago, her cousin was very bold and went to the palace to meet the emperor without telling her uncle. No one knew what she said to the emperor. All she knew was that Jiang Qiao had a request to the emperor. Later, she led her troops to the border.
What exactly does she want?
Jiang Qiao's mood darkened, and a touch of sadness appeared on his face. "I haven't decided what request I want to make yet."
Seeing this, Shi Yechen knew that she had something to hide, so he stopped talking.
He needs to talk to Jiang Qiao.
Time can't wait any longer, the position of crown prince must be his, Shi Yechen needs the help of the General's Mansion.
The meal became extremely unpleasant because of Shi Yechen's joining.
Jiang Qiao followed Ji Zhan back to the Duke's Mansion.
In the carriage, Ji Zhan suddenly reminded Jiang Qiao, "Jiang Qiao, don't be fooled by Shi Yechen's appearance. He is not as kind as he seems."
"Got it, thanks for the reminder, cousin."
In her previous life, the original owner's brilliant life was ruined by Shi Yechen and Yan Qingli. If it weren't for them, the original owner would definitely be a chivalrous and brave female general.
——
The Duke's Mansion.
Jiang Hao stood in front of the closed door and hesitated. If he was not afraid of his father-in-law's anger, he would have flown in using his lightness skills.
This was the scene Jiang Qiao and Ji Zhan saw when they came back.
Jiang Hao saw the two people as if he had seen his savior, "Qiao Qiao, Zhan'er, quickly ask the people inside to open the door."
Jiang Qiao still felt a little uncomfortable. Although Jiang Hao was right, she had a God's perspective and knew clearly what Feng Ruoxi had done. She couldn't accept that Jiang Hao was mean to her for that woman. She said awkwardly, "Dad, why are you here?"
Jiang Hao didn't bother to teach her and said anxiously, "I'm here to take you and your mother home."
Ji Zhan politely called him uncle, and after thinking about it, he asked the person inside to open the door.
As soon as the door opened, Jiang Hao rushed in and headed straight for Ji Muhe's yard.
Jiang Qiao also planned to go back and rest.
Just then, a sharp voice called her.
It was Eunuch Li from the palace, holding an imperial edict in his hand.
"Jiang Qiao, the daughter of the general who guards the country, has received the order."
Jiang Qiao knelt down in response.
Eunuch Li read the contents of the imperial edict.
"By the providence of Heaven, the Emperor proclaims: Jiang Qiao, the daughter of a loyal and upright minister, possesses extraordinary talent and wisdom, and has made military achievements. In compliance with this decree, I bestow upon you a golden medal as a token of your great grace. With this medal, you may grant one wish. I also decree that you grant me ten thousand taels of gold, two pairs of jade ruyi (likely a typo), and fertile land... I decree this."
Jiang Qiao took it and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
The emperor gave Jiang Qiao a lot of rewards. Jiang Qiao knew why. After all, she was a woman, not a real general. There was no celebration banquet and no official title, so the emperor used these things to compensate her.
Eunuch Li smiled brightly, gently waving his whisk and praisingly saying, "Miss Jiang, congratulations. I have already sent those things to the General's Mansion for you. Please check and keep them."
Jiang Qiao took out the gold leaf from his pocket and handed it to him, "Sorry to bother you with making an extra trip."
Eunuch Li put away the gold leaf and smiled happily, "This is what an old servant should do."
Jiang Qiao held the gold seal tightly in her hand; it was her life-saving card.
General's Mansion.
Feng Ruoxi felt extremely jealous when she saw the servant carrying boxes of things to Mingyue Pavilion.
Jiang Anran was also unconvinced and felt that Jiang Qiao was lucky to get these things.
"Mom, will Jiang Qiao and the others come back?"
Feng Ruoxi got angry when she thought of this. She had already driven Ji Muhe and her daughter away in anger, and Jiang Hao didn't chase after them.
She thought she could get Jiang Hao while Ji Muhe was away, but who knew that Jiang Hao ran to the Duke's Mansion as soon as Feng Ruoxi woke up!
What a loving couple!
"How should I know? It's best not to come back." Feng Ruoxi shouted sternly.
After saying this, out of sight, out of mind, he returned to his own yard.
Jiang Anran was still standing there looking at the things that belonged to Jiang Qiao. She asked Feicui behind her, "Feicui, do you think these things will be mine after Jiang Qiao dies?"
Jade replied cautiously, "Anything can be yours, young lady, as long as she wants it."
"Oh, then wait."
——
The Duke's Mansion.
"Jiang Hao, I'll say this one last time, Feng Ruoxi is not as kind as she appears. As long as she is in the general's mansion, I will not go back!" Ji Muhe's attitude was very tough. She hadn't spoken to Jiang Hao like this for a long time.
Jiang Hao felt embarrassed. "But they are orphans and their mother is widowed. If I kick them out, how will I face my brother in the underworld?"
Ji Muhe still showed no sign of weakness. "Over the years, what food and shelter have they had that we haven't provided for them? I just let them move out, I didn't mean to cut off their financial resources. Jiang Hao, you can do whatever you want!"
Jiang Hao's eyes were melancholy. Ji Muhe was right. He was thinking about it.
Ji Muhe was impatient and could not wait for the answer he wanted. Just as he was about to ask the servants to send the guests away, he suddenly felt nauseous and said, "Ugh..."
Her head was dizzy for a moment, and she was about to fall. Jiang Hao rushed over to support her, "Mu He, Mu He, call a doctor!"
…
When Ji Muhe opened her eyes again, she met Jiang Hao's red eyes. She felt powerless and asked, "Why are you crying, grown man?"
Jiang Hao hugged her tightly, "Mu He, I'm sorry, it's my fault. I shouldn't have made you angry."
The stubble on his chin pricked Ji Muhe's face, causing her to curse, "Jiang Hao, are you sick? I'm telling you, don't think I'll compromise just because you cry! Feng Ruoxi and her daughter must move out of the General's Mansion!"
"Move, I'll let them go and find them another place to live. They won't be a nuisance to you." Jiang Hao agreed without hesitation.
Ji Muhe was stunned: "Are you possessed?"
Jiang Hao smiled and said, "Mu He, you are pregnant. We have another child. The doctor said that he has been pregnant for more than a month."
"What did you say? Jiang Hao, you didn't lie to me!" Ji Muhe looked incredulous.
Jiang Hao nodded: "Really, Mu He, you and Qiao Qiao come home with me! We are family."
Ji Muhe subconsciously touched her belly. It turned out that there was another little life here. "Then remember what you promised me."
"good."
