When we arrived outside the mansion, most of the carriages from various families had left.
Jiang Ying looked back and saw that Jiang Shang finally came out with Luo Shi and Jiang Yilin.
The father and daughter's eyes met, and Jiang Shang felt a little embarrassed. "Yingying, father saw that you were well protected by your brothers, so..."
"Father, there is no need to explain. The grace of giving birth and raising is equally precious. If you still want to love your sister in the future, just do it. I have no objection." Jiang Ying interrupted him.
How to say it, she is not the kind of person who is greedy for these things.
Besides, Jiang Shang's behavior is normal. Otherwise, if he abandoned Jiang Yilin and divorced Luo Shi right away, wouldn't that be too hard-hearted?
Anyway, no one in the Jiang family is hard-hearted.
And he thought that keeping Jiang Yilin in the Duke's Mansion was good for her? I'm afraid that the homecoming banquet this afternoon is just the beginning of Jiang Yilin's pain!
"Yingying, come and ride in the same carriage with grandma." The old lady stood on the edge of the carriage and waved to her granddaughter.
The doting look on her face made the people around who had not left yet envious.
Su Yilan had been frightened just now, but after coming out to rest for a while, she had recovered. Seeing this, she whispered to the maid, "This is really powerful. Even the imperial decree can postpone the marriage. We should be more careful next time."
The maid nodded continuously, "Young lady is right. I was frightened by the way she punished Miss Meng before, and my legs are still weak now."
"In the past, wherever Jiang Yilin appeared, she was the center of attention. Now look at her, she is silent like a shadow in the shadow." Su Yilan noticed Jiang Yilin who was standing next to Luo Shi.
Upon hearing this, a hint of suspicion flashed in the maid Songlan's eyes. She lowered her voice and said, "That person, I think he's not an easy person to deal with. Miss, don't you know that the person standing with Miss Meng before she went crazy was none other than this fake legitimate daughter of the Duke's Mansion."
In a flash, Su Yilan seemed to have understood something.
But she didn't mind her own business. She pulled the maid into the carriage quickly and said, "If you are not sure, don't go out and say anything. Otherwise, your life may be lost quietly one day."
Song Lan closed her mouth tightly, determined to keep the matter to herself.
…
"Everyone, today has been full of unexpected events, and everything is unfavorable. My daughter's wedding to Prince Yan has already been postponed. After careful consideration, I, Jiang, have decided to reschedule the afternoon homecoming banquet to tomorrow at 9:00 PM. I sincerely invite you all to witness my daughter's return to her ancestral home!"
Jiang Shang stood on the carriage and spoke loudly.
Everyone was stunned at first, then readily agreed, "Okay, okay, Duke Jiang is so polite, and he's taking such good care of us... Well, never mind, I, Yue Xuanfeng, will definitely attend the banquet on time tomorrow!"
"I, Pei, have prepared the gifts and will be there to congratulate Duke Jiang on his return."
"Don't worry, Duke Jiang, we will all be there. Congratulations to Duke Jiang on having a wonderful daughter!"
Everyone present, although a little exhausted from having just experienced a fierce battle with insects and ants, agreed very readily.
After all, Jiang Shang was already a true general leading an army, and he also had the hereditary title of Duke. Moreover, judging from the emperor's willingness to change the imperial edict, the Jiang family was still favored.
The daughter he had just found had also diagnosed twins, a boy and a girl, for Concubine Chen. She would soon enter the palace to take care of the pair of children that the emperor was extremely looking forward to.
As long as things go well, the Jiang family's glory will probably reach even higher.
Who wouldn't want to befriend the Jiang family at this time? Forget about being frightened and recovering overnight. Even if you broke your leg and had to use a cane, you still had to go!
Jiang Shang was very happy to hear this. He bowed to everyone and thanked them, then rode forward with great vigor.
He was determined to hold a grand banquet for his daughter's return home.
And it wasn't because he was not used to riding in a carriage, but because Jiang Yilin and Luo Shi were in the carriage, Jiang Shang didn't want to quarrel with his first wife again and again, nor did he want to hear his adopted daughter cry, so he chose to ride a horse.
In the car at the back, Jiang Ying held the child and leaned on the old lady's shoulder. "Grandma, it's great. I finally don't have to get married for the time being."
If Yan Zhuo had anticipated this outcome from the beginning, would she have deliberately publicized her medical skills?
Jiang Ying didn’t know the answer, and she was too lazy to delve into it.
The old lady touched her head and said, "Okay, if you don't want to get married, then we won't. After all, there's still a year left, and the emperor didn't ask you to hand over the child."
Hearing this, Jiang Ying hugged the child tightly and nervously, "Hand it over? That's impossible! I want to raise my own child myself!"
She will enter the palace in two days. Even if the emperor wants to make temporary arrangements for the child, Jiang Ying is confident that he can give up this idea.
…
In the palace.
The Imperial Guards protected the emperor and the concubine and went straight back to the Yuntai Palace.
The emperor stayed by her side for half an hour, until Concubine Chen was no longer feeling unwell, and then he tucked the corner of the quilt into her and let her go.
Yan Zhuo and the commander of the Royal Guards, Yun Yi, were outside.
"Let's go, don't disturb my beloved concubine's sleep here." The emperor waved his hand.
Yan Zhuo's expression was normal. He certainly knew that the emperor valued Concubine Chen, or rather, he knew that he valued Concubine Chen's baby.
The men in the Yan family value offspring, this has almost become an iron rule!
Because many men in the Yan family only have one or two children in their lifetime, it would be useless no matter how many concubines they marry, so he was so determined to have Jiang Ying's child from the beginning.
I just never thought that by some strange combination of circumstances, we would end up in this situation now.
"Yun Yi, go and investigate what's going on with those snakes, insects, rats and ants in the Prince Qin's Mansion. Maybe someone wants to assassinate me or harm Concubine Chen's pregnancy." The emperor gave the order and after sending away the unnecessary people, he sighed and leaned back on the couch. He was very tired today.
