Upon hearing this, Wen Mohan stood up and left the study, intending to go to the palace to discuss the matter.
When he walked out of the mansion and was about to get on the carriage, he heard two passers-by mention the word "Jiang Mansion".
He subconsciously paused and listened carefully to what they said.
"Jiang Dingshan and his family have arrived in the capital. Firecrackers were set off at the gate of the Jiang Mansion to welcome them..."
"Even after being exiled, she was able to return to the capital. The Jiang family's eldest daughter made great contributions. I heard that she earned it with her merits."
"However, the Jiang family is still a family of criminals, so they are still not allowed to enter the court."
"It's good enough that you can come back, but forget about entering the court."
Seeing his master stunned, Yun Jian immediately stepped forward and whispered, "Master, would you like to go to the Jiang family? We can go to the palace later. His Majesty didn't say right away."
Wen Mohan withdrew his thoughts and looked at him coldly, "What is the relationship between the Jiang family and this prince?"
After saying that, he jumped onto the carriage.
I could faintly hear the sound of firecrackers, perhaps coming from the Jiang Mansion.
The Jiang Mansion was indeed very lively at this moment. Jiang Dingshan and his family walked into the mansion surrounded by servants.
Jiang was waiting in the front yard. When she saw the person coming in, her eyes instantly filled with tears and her lips trembled so much that she couldn't utter a word for a long time.
Jiang Dingshan looked weathered, had white hair, and was much thinner than before.
Next to her was Jiang Mengli's mother, Xu. Her former image as a noble lady was completely gone, and now she looked like a peasant woman.
Behind him was Jiang Dingshan’s eldest son Jiang Muchen, with his wife Liang Qiaoyun, and two timid children.
A ten-year-old son and an eight-year-old daughter.
Jiang Dingshan walked up to Jiang with heavy steps, his eyes moist and red, "Mother! The unfilial son is back!"
"Wow... It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back..." Jiang hugged him with tears in her eyes, her heart filled with sorrow.
"My son, you are old and thin... You must have suffered a lot in the wilderness."
The mother and son hugged each other and cried bitterly, and the people around them also shed tears.
After more than ten years of separation, everything has changed a lot.
In Jiang's eyes, his son originally had black hair, but now...
Then Jiang looked at Xu and said, "You have suffered too."
Xu's eyes moistened, "It's not bitter, mother, this is your granddaughter-in-law, and your great-grandchildren."
"Come here quickly and call great-grandmother."
Liang looked very simple and polite. She knelt down and saluted with some restraint, "Grandma."
The two children followed suit and called out sweetly, "Hello, great-grandmother."
"Hey, good, good, everyone's fine, hahaha..." Jiang was very happy and looked at Jiang Muchen. "Muchen, you've lost weight too. Eat more in the future and get your weight back."
After exchanging a few pleasantries, he ordered his servants to take them to wash and change clothes, and finally to the dining hall for dinner.
Xu looked around, searching for Jiang Mengli.
I haven't seen him since I came back, nor have I heard anyone mention him.
Lingqiao noticed her looking around, so she asked, "Madam, are you looking for Miss?"
Mrs. Xu nodded. "Yes, why haven't I seen her come out? I don't know what she looks like now. She was still a child when we left."
Lingqiao responded respectfully with a smile, "Madam, don't worry. The young lady is fine. She is the most beautiful in the entire capital."
"Because of some things, she recently left the capital. She will be back after she finishes her work, but I'm not sure how long it will take for her to come back."
The conversation took place in the yard, which had already been cleaned and tidy, and some new flowers and plants had been planted.
The furniture in the house is also new, and fish are already raised in the dry pond.
Jiang Dingshan and his wife were filled with emotion after seeing this. They never thought that they would be able to return to this place again.
Xu wept and sighed, "It feels like a dream. I thought I would be in the wilderness forever."
"A-Li is really great. Along the way, I heard Dragon Shadow Guard talking to me about the things she did."
"I can't imagine that she is a girl, but she has done so many things bravely. She is the pride of the Jiang family..."
The journey back is long and drawn out.
I was bored along the way, so I asked a lot of questions about the capital, and also asked some questions about Jiang Mengli.
Jiang Dingshan suddenly asked, "Long Yi said she married His Royal Highness Prince Yu. This matter..."
"The marriage has been cancelled." Lingqiao frowned when she mentioned this matter. "It's too complicated. Let's talk about it later. Master and Madam should go into the house and wash and change clothes first."
"The food and wine are already prepared in the kitchen. Come and have dinner after you've finished cleaning up."
…
At the dinner table.
Jiang didn't mention Jiang Mengli at all, but kept picking up food for them.
"Eat it quickly, it won't taste good if it gets cold."
The food on the table was very rich, with all kinds of chicken, duck, fish and meat.
During the more than ten years they lived in the wilderness, they couldn't even have such a meal during the Chinese New Year.
The two children looked at so many delicious dishes and ate them very voraciously. Liang was secretly surprised, but on the surface she was quiet and polite.
Liang was a peasant girl from a wild place. Looking at this huge and luxurious mansion, and then at the graceful and elegant Jiang, she suddenly felt a little inferior.
She heard that wealthy families often had three wives and four concubines, and she was a little afraid that her husband would be the same.
Seeing her stunned, Jiang Muchen gently reminded her, "Qiao Yun, grandma is talking to you."
Liang Qiaoyun came to her senses after hearing this, "Uh... Grandma, please forgive me, I just..."
"It's okay, it's okay." Jiang smiled kindly, "Don't be shy. This is your home now. If you need anything in the future, just let me know."
Liang Qiaoyun was a little flattered, "These grandmothers."
After eating and drinking, the servants cleared the table, made some tea and brought it over.
Jiang Muchen then asked Jiang, "Grandmother, I heard my sister got married, and to His Royal Highness Prince Yu. Why didn't she come?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the room suddenly became silent and you could hear a pin drop.
Jiang took a sip of tea before responding slowly, "The marriage has been called off. They divorced before and are now planning to remarry, but due to some special reasons, it's been called off."
"It's okay if the two of them didn't make it. They weren't suitable for each other anyway. Ali is so talented and capable, he will definitely find a good home."
Then there was silence again, and the air was a little depressing.
Mrs. Xu felt a little uncomfortable and said worriedly, "She divorced, but ended up remarrying. Isn't this humiliating her?"
If some woman were to encounter such a situation, she might not be able to survive.
Lingqiao hung her head and said unhappily, "This is all His Royal Highness Prince Yu's fault. He is an absolute scumbag and a heartless man."
"After this incident, I'm afraid the young lady won't want to marry again. They pursued her relentlessly when she refused to remarry, and then abandoned her after she agreed."
Jiang Dingshan's face turned ashen, and his hands holding the teacup were shaking slightly, with his knuckles turning white.
"He's taking revenge on me. Every wrong has its perpetrator, every debt has its creditor. How could he do this to Ali?"
