Chapter 250 Coming Home
Li Chengxiu felt very uncomfortable, but he just hugged his wife quietly without saying anything else.
The carriage did not return to Prince Qi's residence. After leaving the palace, it headed straight for Duke Ling's residence. Soon after, it stopped at the entrance of the familiar residence. Jiang Wan stepped down from the carriage with the help of Li Chengxiu.
Old Zhang, the doorman who was originally sweeping the floor at the door, immediately shouted to the servant behind him in surprise.
"Jinbao, hurry up and report to the master that our eldest daughter has returned with her son-in-law!"
"Hey, little one, I'll go right away!"
The servant quickly bowed and greeted the King of Qi and his wife, then ran back to the palace. The rest of the people also bowed.
"Greetings to the Prince and Princess!"
"Get up."
"Thank you, Princess!"
Jiang Wan looked up at the plaque of her own house, excitement flashed in her eyes, she lifted up her skirt and stepped over the threshold.
After being away from home for several months, when I suddenly came back, I felt very familiar with the stone lions squatting at the gate, not to mention the people.
"Uncle Zhang, are my parents home?"
"Yes, yes, the Duke and his wife are both home! His wife has been instructing the servants to keep an eye on the city gates to see when you'll return. Since we received your letter this morning, the masters haven't left the house..."
Old Zhang rambled on, and Jiang Wan nodded. Leaving Hongxiu here to reunite with her uncle and grandfather, they sent their attendants off to look for their families, and then the couple hurried back to the mansion.
Just after passing the second hanging flower gate, a familiar crying voice rushed towards me.
"Sister, you are finally back~~~~"
Little white flower Jiang Han, relying on his youth and good legs, ran ahead of his parents and rushed out to greet his big backer sister.
"Brother-in-law, you're finally back!"
Following closely behind her was a black bear, uh, a little black bear. Jiang Yao also rushed over with a bright smile on his face to greet his brother-in-law who had been taken advantage of.
"sister!"
Jiang Han cried and stretched out his claws to grab his sister's arm, crying loudly.
"I miss you so much, sis~"
“Brother-in-law!”
Jiang Yao grinned and stretched out his bear paw, imitating his brother-in-law's behavior and climbing onto his shoulders, knocking him so hard that he almost stumbled backwards.
"I really miss you so much, brother-in-law~"
As expected, everyone has their own exclusive person to act pampered to. The Jiang family twins have been fighting for everything since they were young, but when it comes to allocating their sisters and brother-in-law, the tacit understanding between the two siblings is simply outrageous.
"Uh, Third Brother, let go of my claws! I can't breathe!"
It was thanks to Li Chengxiu's great strength that he was able to pull away his brother-in-law who was choking him passionately.
"Third brother, are you itching for trouble?"
Jiang Wan glanced at her husband who was pinching his neck to relieve his anger, then glanced at her embarrassed brother, and then silently raised her hand.
The opponent was quickly bounced back ten feet. He was a big guy and felt aggrieved instantly.
"Sister, you are biased again! I haven't seen you for a long time. Do you miss you?
Jiang Lao Er can run all over you, but I can't. And you won't let me hug my brother-in-law to satisfy my pleasure? How come you can't understand my longing for you at all?
This is really not fair at all!"
"Haha, you deserve it!"
Jiang Han leaned triumphantly on his sister's shoulder, rolling his beautiful big eyes proudly, and trying to show off.
"How smart am I? Didn't you see that I was very careful to stay close to my sister and would never hurt the little nephew in her belly.
Who is like you?
Like a big, reckless black bear!
It's a good thing you were touching your brother-in-law. If you dare to do that to my sister, you'll be damned if your parents don't whip you with sticks!"
In broad daylight, whoever you say will be here immediately. As soon as Jiang Han finished speaking, a voice full of longing sounded from behind.
"Wanjie'er!"
Xu's face was full of happy smiles and tears. Looking at her eldest daughter whom she hadn't seen for several months, her eyes were red from crying.
"mother!"
Jiang Wan gently pushed away his sister's hand that was wrapped around his arm, then took two steps at a time and raised his legs to face his mother.
"Mom, I'm back."
The mother and daughter hugged each other, crying and laughing.
"Just come back safely, just come back safely!"
Mrs. Xu hugged her child and cried inconsolably.
Who could have known how frightened she was every night, unable to sleep, when the battle report from Dongling Prefecture was reported back to the capital?
As soon as she closed her eyes, she felt she would see a sea of bright red, just like more than 20 years ago, when her loved ones lay in a pool of blood.
She had prayed to all the gods and Buddhas these days, and every day she would pray in front of her sister's tablet, asking her to bless her younger sister. Sure enough, now their child was back safe and sound!
"Mom, please don't cry. I'm fine, aren't I? I'm really fine! Please stop crying. Your health hasn't been very good to begin with..."
"Yes, yes, the eldest girl is right. Sister Yu, we can't cry anymore. What if we get dizzy and can't stand up?"
Jiang Huailiang tried his best to persuade them.
"Let's go back to the main hall first. Her grandparents are waiting for them! Let's sit down and chat about whatever we have to say. We have plenty of time, so there's nothing we can't talk about."
Jiang Wan took the time to raise his head and greeted his old father with a choked voice.
"Dad, I'm back."
"Hey, Dad saw it."
Jiang Huailiang, who knew his children well, was immediately startled when he saw the eldest girl like this.
This must be something that happened!
He turned to look at his eldest son-in-law who was standing beside him. He already had a flattering smile on his face.
"Dad, I'm back!"
"Yeah, I saw that too."
Since Li Laosi was still smiling, I guess the problem they encountered wasn't serious. I finally breathed a sigh of relief and quickly coaxed them into the main hall.
"Okay, okay, sit down and talk.
Big girl, don’t cry with your mother. Help her inside quickly.
Once you get home, everything will be fine. Don't panic, even if the sky falls, Dad is still here!"
This is the father, the important pillar of a family. No matter how strong a child is outside, he has the right to become weak and timid in front of his parents, and he needs to be protected by the wings of an eagle.
Jiang Xiaosi also stepped forward and gently hugged his eldest sister's right leg, then pulled her in by the face.
"Big sister, hurry up!"
"Xiao Si, let go and walk ahead by yourself. I'll hold onto Mom and follow behind you, okay?"
"good."
Although Jiang Yang is young, he has always been steady, unlike his second sister and third brother who are like two restless grasshoppers.
The mother and the other children walked home talking and laughing. Li Chengxiu, who was well-behaved and well-mannered, stayed at the end and accompanied Lao Taishan on the way back.
"Have you paid your respects to the Emperor and Empress?"
"Yeah, we just came out of the palace. We didn't even go to Prince Qi's Mansion, we came straight home."
