On the way, Jiang Zhan was still a little uncertain: "Prince, did my family really think I was dead?"

Yu Jin smiled and said, "You'll know when you get there."

Jiang Zhan thought about it and agreed, so he suppressed his curiosity, guilt, and inexplicable excitement, and hurried to the Dongping Marquis' Mansion.

In previous years, the Dongping Marquis's Mansion would have been decorated with lights and colors like other mansions, but this year the festivity was discounted.

Although in the eyes of Old Lady Feng, the death of an insignificant grandson in exchange for the title being passed down for three generations was simply too much, the owner of the Earl's Mansion was Jiang Ancheng, and it would be inappropriate for others not to feel any sadness at all.

Due to Jiang Zhan's death, there was less activity in the Nianbo Mansion. The servants were bored and huddled in the gatehouse drinking tea. Even the two stone lions in front of the gate looked a little listless.

There was a knock on the door, and the doorman opened it: "Who is it?"

Jiang Zhan smiled widely: "It's me."

"Ah——" With a scream, the door slammed shut.

An even more terrible sound came from inside: "Ghost!"

Jiang Zhan rubbed his nose which was almost hit by the door, and smiled helplessly at Yu Jin: "It seems that you really thought I was dead."

Inside the Bo's mansion, the servants ran away, shouting as they ran: "The second young master's soul has returned——"

The servants who heard this along the way were curious and frightened. One of them stopped the doorman and asked, "What's going on?"

The disciple's face was pale, his eyes were wide open, and he was obviously very frightened: "Second, the Second Young Master is back!"

"It's broad daylight, stop talking nonsense—"

The doorman glared and said, "Who is talking nonsense? If you don't believe me, go to the door and take a look. I'm going to report to Master Bo."

The doorman pushed away the servant who was blocking him and ran away, leaving the others looking at each other in bewilderment.

"Looking at Old Zhang's reaction, it doesn't look fake."

"Is it real or not? Look up, the sun is still high in the sky."

"You'll know after you go and take a look."

Several servants discussed it and rushed to the gate.

Jiang Zhan was not annoyed after being turned down. He smiled and said to Yu Jin, "I guess you scared him to death."

Yu Jin shook his head expressionlessly: "It's time to change the servants in the Bo's Mansion."

After he married his eldest brother-in-law back to Zhao, he was still anxious to reunite with Ah Si. The old servant was wasting his time.

Just as he was muttering inwardly, the door slowly opened and two or three people stuck their heads out. When they saw the situation outside, their eyes widened as if they had seen a ghost.

"Get out of the way quickly, the prince is still outside." Jiang Zhan pointed at Yu Jin and reached out to open the door.

It would have been fine if he didn't move. As soon as he stretched out his hand, several servants ran away, shouting, "Ghost, ghost--"

Jiang Zhan couldn't hold back his anger anymore, he walked in with big strides, and shouted angrily: "You damn ghost, you cursed me on New Year's Day! Go and tell my father that his son is back alive and well!"

Hearing Jiang Zhan's full-throated roar, several servants couldn't help but stop and asked cautiously: "Are you really the Second Young Master?"

Jiang Zhan rolled his eyes: "If not me, then who else could it be? How could someone be so handsome? What a bunch of idiots!"

He didn't waste time talking to these people and strode inside. Not long after he went, he ran into Jiang Ancheng who was running out in a hurry.

The moment he saw his son, Jiang Ancheng froze abruptly, his face trembling violently.

Jiang Zhan walked over quickly and knelt down in front of Jiang Ancheng: "Father, my son is not dead, my son is back!"

Jiang Ancheng looked at his son kneeling in front of him, and after a while he said, "Get up—"

Jiang Zhan stood up and smiled at Jiang Ancheng.

Seeing his son's familiar silly smile, Jiang Ancheng's uneasy heart calmed down a little, but he still felt like he was in a dream, so he stretched out his hand and pinched Jiang Zhan's face, and found that his face was hot and could be twisted half a circle. Only then did he feel completely relieved and murmured, "It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back."

Jiang Zhan was pinched so hard that his teeth grimaced, and his handsome face was distorted, but he did not dare to resist. He thought to himself: Forget it, I have made my father worry for so long, I will just pinch it as many times as I want.

After enduring for a while, he found that his father had no intention of letting go, so Jiang Zhan coughed and said, "Father, the prince sent me back."

Jiang Ancheng finally came back to his senses and looked at Yu Jin.

Yu Jin clasped his fists and greeted Jiang Ancheng: "Father-in-law, I have brought my uncle back."

Jiang Ancheng reached out and grabbed Yu Jin's hand, unable to speak.

The prince's son-in-law traveled a long way to bring back his son, who he believed was killed in the battle. He really didn't know what to say, and there was only one thought in his mind: his daughter did not marry the wrong person.

The son-in-law loves his daughter so much that he would make this trip south.

"Yes... where did you find it?" After a long while, Jiang Ancheng finally found his voice, unable to hide his trembling.

"Father-in-law, let's go inside and talk."

Jiang Ancheng responded and nodded repeatedly: "Let's talk inside, let's talk inside."

Then the father-in-law and son-in-law walked inside hand in hand, leaving Jiang Zhan rubbing his painful face and muttering softly, "So we were excited for a moment, and then we see that the son-in-law is closer to me than the son?"

He is my biological son who came back from the dead, how could he be left behind like this?

After hesitating for a while, seeing that the person had gone far away, Jiang Zhan had no choice but to chase after him.

All the masters in the mansion rushed into Ci Xin Hall, confirmed that Jiang Zhan had really returned alive, and congratulated Jiang Ancheng one after another.

Among them, Mr. Jiang Er was the most depressed.

Originally, the title of the Earl's Mansion had been passed down for three generations, and his eldest brother's only son was gone. Based on his understanding of his eldest brother, he would definitely not marry a concubine to continue the family line. In this case, the title would most likely fall to one of his sons. He never expected that Jiang Zhan would come back alive!

Looking at those people talking and laughing, Mr. Jiang Er felt indescribably frustrated.

No matter how much you worry about something, your hopes are always dashed when they are greatest.

But no matter what, Mr. Jiang Er still had to force himself to appear happy.

At this time, Jiang Yuan said, "Second brother, you will be the crown prince in the future."

As soon as these words were spoken, the room fell silent.

"What prince?" Jiang Zhan was confused and couldn't help but look at Jiang Ancheng.

Jiang Yuanxing said in a rush, "The prince of the Earl of Dongping. Before you came back, the Emperor granted the title of Earl to be passed down for three generations, so you must be the prince."

Seeing his second son so excited, Mr. Jiang Er felt dizzy, but no one cared about his mood at this moment.

"Father, what's going on?"

Jiang Ancheng said with a smile: "You and your fourth sister performed well, and the emperor rewarded you, but the title of crown prince will only count if you formally request to be crowned queen."

Jiang Zhan suddenly reacted: "If I come back like this, do I have to go to the palace to thank En?"

Yu Jin said, "I sent someone to deliver a message to the palace when we entered the city. If the emperor wants to see you, there should be news soon."

When Emperor Jingming received the news, he was squinting his eyes and smoothing the white cat's fur: "Old Seventh Brother is lucky. He actually found the remains of the son of the Earl of Dongping."

Pan Hai hurriedly explained: "Your Majesty, it is alive."
