"Mother, I'm back!"
"It's good that you're back. My daughter won't have to suffer anymore."
As soon as she finished speaking, her own tears began to fall.
"Mother, it's a good thing that your daughter is getting a divorce, don't cry." Jiang's mother then wiped away her tears.
"Yunxiang Courtyard is still reserved for you. It has been cleaned up. You and your family can move in there again."
"good!"
"Tell your mother if you need anything else."
"good!"
Jiang Chuwei agreed to all of them.
The mother looked at her obedient daughter and finally felt relieved.
It was the dream her daughter described that made Jiang's mother agree to her daughter's divorce and return home so quickly.
In this world, divorced women always face many more difficulties.
Jiang's mother couldn't believe that her daughter had said she wanted to marry the Prince of Yu.
Although the Prince of Yu had proposed marriage, she was still a young woman confined to her chambers.
Now that my daughter is divorced, even if she marries an ordinary person, she will still be subject to criticism.
If she were to marry into the royal family, the emperor would be the first to object.
But it's always good for the family to be together.
At worst, the general's mansion can support her for the rest of her life.
Contrary to her mother's worries, Yunxiang Courtyard seemed to be celebrating the New Year.
All the servants who had gone with the general's mansion have returned, and Granny Li has also come to the general's mansion.
After leaving the Marquis's mansion, that cannibalistic place, Jiang Chuwei felt much better.
My two older brothers each brought a gift.
Celebrating my sister's new life!
Even her father sent her a rabbit, saying, "From this day forward, my daughter will have a smooth and prosperous future."
Jiang Chuwei choked up: "Thank you, Father, for your unconditional support of your daughter."
"Remember, you are my daughter, and your father will always be your support."
"Yes, daughter remembers." Jiang Chuwei forced back her tears.
Today is a good day, so we should be happy.
The commotion at Yunxiang Courtyard lasted until very late. With Chen Yulan's howling gone and the old lady's feigned concern disguised as a reprimand, Jiang Chuwei finally relaxed completely.
Jiang Chuwei even drank a little wine.
The noise finally subsided around midnight.
Jiang Chuwei lay on her back on the couch.
Such a carefree life!
She looked up and suddenly a figure appeared in front of her.
Jiang Chuwei was so frightened that she jumped up straight.
"Why are you here again?" Jiang Chuwei said angrily, "You're going to scare me to death, aren't you?"
"You'll have to get used to it." Lin Muheng said without changing his expression.
“My two older brothers are both home,” Jiang Chuwei threatened him.
"It's alright, they can't beat me." Lin Muheng said seriously, "They only dared to scratch Lu Yanke when they were teaching him a lesson, so they don't seem to have much strength."
Jiang Chuwei realized what was happening: "Did you send someone to break his ribs?"
"What, are you feeling sorry for him?"
"No, I went a little too lightly. I should have broken two more."
I'll go tomorrow.
"Never mind, I was just joking. If I break two more, how will Lu Yanke sell smuggled salt? How will I catch him red-handed?"
“That’s what I think too.” Lin Muheng jumped down from the roof beam.
"Tell me, when should I come to the General's Mansion to propose marriage?" Lin Muheng stared intently at Jiang Chuwei.
Jiang Chuwei: ...
"I just got divorced today!"
"So what?" Lin Muheng retorted.
"Weren't you on disaster relief? Why did you come back?"
Jiang Chuwei changed the subject.
"The disaster victims have been mostly settled and production is gradually resuming," Lin Muheng said.
"So fast?"
"Once you get used to it, I can do everything quickly." Lin Muheng looked at Jiang Chuwei, "So I'll be coming to marry you very soon, so be prepared."
Jiang Chuwei didn't take it to heart.
The Prince of Yu's marriage was not something he could decide for himself.
Jiang Chuwei believed that he would come to marry her, but she didn't know when.
“Lu Yanke is incredibly bold; the Prince of Jin entrusted him with the salt business,” Lin Muheng said.
"That's an idiot, he didn't even realize he was being used as a scapegoat by Prince Jin," Jiang Chuwei mocked.
"All the smuggled salt business was handled by Lu Yanke, and Prince Jin only sent a trusted confidant to hand over the business to him. Lu Yanke is truly bewitched; he doesn't even understand such a simple principle. If Prince Jin doesn't intervene, the Emperor will definitely be furious after the incident, and only the Pingyang Marquis's mansion will bear the brunt of his anger."
"Wealth blinds the eye. Lu Yanke was well aware of the intricacies involved, but he was simply gambling. He was gambling that the emperor wouldn't find out, and that Prince Jin would sit on that throne."
In his previous life, he did indeed win the gamble.
Because of this experience, Lu Yanke became a confidant of Prince Jin and a powerful minister, making the Marquis's mansion extremely prestigious for a time.
In this life, he wasn't so lucky.
The two analyzed where Lu Yanke and Prince Jin would transport the salt mined from the salt mine to resell.
How can Prince Yu bring this matter to the emperor's attention?
With their heads huddled together, they finally tentatively agreed on the time to close the net.
For a moment, you could hear a pin drop in the room.
Jiang Chuwei broke the awkward silence first: "Your Highness, it's getting late. Shouldn't you be heading back?"
"Can I come anytime from now on?" Lin Muheng looked at Jiang Chuwei expectantly.
Thinking of how he held her body and wept bitterly in his past life, she finally softened and said, "Yes!"
Lin Muheng suddenly hugged her and spun her around.
Jiang Chuwei exclaimed in surprise, "Put me down!"
Lin Muheng put her down and said, "Wait for me." Then he disappeared without a trace like a gust of wind.
Jiang Chuwei: ...
He really treats the general's mansion as his own home.
*
After a good night's sleep, my mother sent someone to call me for breakfast early in the morning.
Jiang Chuwei was surprised to find that she was the last to arrive, and even her four-year-old nephew was already sitting at the table.
After exchanging greetings with everyone, Jiang Chuwei said, "I'm sorry I'm late. It seems I've delayed your meal."
"It's not that you're late, it's that we're early," the second brother quickly said.
Today is the first day my sister has eaten at home since she came back. They all want to stay with her and see how she looks, whether she's sleeping well, and whether she's happy.
Divorce is a big deal, and no matter how nonchalant the younger sister tries to appear, her parents and older brothers will always be worried.
However, judging from Jiang Chuwei's radiant appearance, she seems to be genuinely not sad at all.
It seems she slept the best in the General's Mansion last night.
They were so worried they couldn't sleep, but it turned out they hadn't worried at all.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Looking at the table full of snacks and dishes, Jiang Chuwei was in a particularly good mood.
The mother kept piling food onto her plate, until her bowl was overflowing with food.
However, it feels really good to be pampered.
Without intrigue or scheming, Jiang Chuwei felt incredibly fortunate to experience this long-lost comfort.
She's back.
