"What?".
Deng Weimin and Deng Ningxue both widened their eyes in disbelief.
It was also because of the disbelieving voices of the father and daughter that Jiang Ran's thoughts, which were drifting further and further away from the chaos and complexity, were pulled back.
Jiang Ranli hung her head, secretly cursing herself for not being smart enough. Her father was the general of Shandong, so there didn't seem to be anything wrong with him appearing here at this time.
"Ah, Ama, why are you here?"
Looking at Anjia Oron, whom she hadn't seen for several years, Jiang Ranli felt a little sad. More than three years ago, Anjia Oron went to the Ninth Prince's Mansion to visit her, and since then, they, father and daughter, have never met again.
During the years in Shandong, Jiang Ranli had wanted to go and see him, but she had sneaked away from the capital and could not be too conspicuous. She was also busy with various affairs, so she had never gone to see her father.
However, she had imagined thousands of scenes of meeting Anjia Oren, and no matter which one she imagined, it was not the situation like today.
Anjia Oren withdrew his angry gaze, and when his eyes fell on Jiang Ranli, they were full of longing and confusion, but more of it was still anger.
He was the general of Shandong. He was the first to know about the disaster in Shandong. However, he had not been ordered to lead troops to provide relief to the victims. Unexpectedly, when he just received the order from the court, what he saw was not the serious and urgent situation of the victims, but his own daughter being bullied.
Thinking of his daughter Anjia Oron, he failed to take good care of her before she got married, causing her to be bullied everywhere in the mansion. Now that she was outside, others even dared to bully her.
"If Ama doesn't come again, who will seek justice for you?"
Anjia Oron looked Jiang Ranli up and down, feeling distressed. He originally thought that his daughter was far away in the capital, and even if she was not favored by the Ninth Prince, she should be able to live a stable life with her low-key and cautious personality. Unexpectedly, his daughter was actually in Shandong, and not only was she bullied, but she also lost a lot of weight.
Jiang Ranli felt a pang of bitterness in his nose after hearing Anjia Oron's words. At the same time, Deng Weimin and Deng Ningxue beside him became more and more surprised.
"Lord Anjia, what is going on? Isn't she Mrs. Jiang, the proprietress of Tianxia Restaurant? How could she be your daughter, Lord Anjia?"
Deng Weimin was extremely puzzled. Jiang Ranli had been active in Shandong for a long time, and he had never heard of any relationship between her and Lord An Jia.
Hearing Deng Weimin say that Jiang Ranli was the proprietress of Tianxia Restaurant, Anjia Oron was slightly surprised. However, he hid his surprise very well, and his serious face still looked majestic.
Anjia Oren was also very curious about why Jiang Ranli appeared in Shandong and why she was the proprietress of Tianxia Restaurant. However, he wanted to seek justice for his daughter before asking her in detail.
His gaze shifted back to Deng Weimin and Deng Ningxue. The longing and doubt in Anjia Oren's eyes were gone, replaced by the initial anger.
"Sir Deng, don't change the subject. You heard clearly what the people said just now. My daughter was walking peacefully on the road. It was your daughter who first provoked the dispute and insulted and slandered my daughter many times. You must give me an explanation."
Deng Weimin was sweating profusely. His official rank was governor of a province, a second-rank official.
But Anjia Oron's official rank is general, the second grade. As the saying goes, a higher-ranking official can crush a lower-ranking one. What's more, Anjia Oron is from the top three of the Eight Banners and is a royal relative. His status is much higher than his as a governor.
