However, when he returned to the door, the Zhao family refused to recognize Zhao Mei. He was determined to make a clear relationship with Zhao Mei.

Zhao Mei was naturally sad. As time went by, seeing that the Zhao family had never had the momentum to reconcile with Zhao Mei, the Jiang family's attitude towards Zhao Mei gradually became colder. Soon, Jiang Quan accepted Xia Yan and became even colder to Zhao Mei.

The husband is so cold and the Jiang family is so indifferent, Zhao Mei thought of many things alone. He felt that he had no face to see his parents and brothers at home, and he did not want to get the Zhao family involved in the Jiang family's muddy waters. Later, when the Zhao family came to the door after hearing about Xia Yan's incident, he sent the people back in an extremely mean tone.

As we walked back and forth, gradually, the Zhao family and the Jiang family became like strangers.

The atmosphere in the hall became very strange.

Zhao Guang looked at Jiang Ruan with a complicated expression.

Over the years, he has sent extraordinary people to the Jiang family. When Zhao Mei was there, he was always very mean, as if facing an enemy. After a while, Zhao Guang became frustrated and just pretended that he did not have this daughter, and even ignored the entire Jiang family. No news about the Jiang family could be spread to the General's Mansion.

Now, this granddaughter suddenly came. Not only that, the nanny who served Zhao Mei once brought such amazing news. The Zhao family was the most protective of their shortcomings, and they would be furious when they heard this.

Zhao Yuanping, who had been silent, said: "In this way, are you my niece? Why did you make porridge before?"

Jiang Ruan looked up at him. The smartest man in the Zhao family was rumored to be as elegant as a civil servant. She smiled faintly: "The Eighth Prince wanted to use this opportunity to disperse the Zhao family's wealth and slash the Zhao family's power. Since the second uncle called me a niece, it would be a simple task."

"How did you get the money?" Zhao Yuanping stared at her tightly, not letting go of any expression on her face.

Jiang Ruan's expression was not moved: "The food price has increased more than ten times, but I bought it more than a month ago."

Zhao Yuanping teased: "Will you predict the future?"

"Just by chance." Jiang Ruan nodded.

A trace of light flashed through Zhao Yuanping's eyes. He was not as blinded by family affection as Zhao Guang, nor as loyal as Zhao Yuanjia, nor as surprised as Zhao Yuanfeng. As the calmest person in the Zhao family, after a brief shock, he had been observing Jiang Ruan. Although Jiang Ruan looked very much like his dead third sister, Jiang Ruan and Zhao Mei were completely different people. For example, now, there was no flaw in her expression, and she looked at the excitement of the Zhao family from beginning to end, without any movement.

She was even more calm and self-control than the enemies he had met, but she was just a niece.

"Absurd! How do you know the Eighth Prince's plan?" Zhao Guang asked sternly.

Jiang Ruan's words surprised them, but a girl in the boudoir should not know about these things in the court no matter what. Her words were even more strange. She made people suspect that this was just a conspiracy by Jiang Quan.

"Wait," Zhao Yuanfeng was the one who couldn't help but feel the most unhappy. He was all focused on his niece and said, "What are you talking about? Are you here today to recognize your ancestors?"

Jiang Ruan looked at him with a smile. Zhao Mei’s best uncle is now looking at her. After so many years, her temperament has not changed at all. She said: “Recognizing the ancestors depends on the meaning of the general and his wife. Ruan Niang’s identity is not important. I come today, just want to ask for a deal.”

"What deal?" Zhao Guang's face turned cold. If it was related to Jiang Quan, then Jiang Ruan's purpose today was to be suspicious.

Jiang Ruan smiled slightly: "I have completed most of the property for the Zhao family and saved the life of the City Guardian. The City Guardian is also the lifeblood of the Zhao family. Ruan Niang believes that such a favor is enough. As for the transaction, I hope the general can save my elder brother's life. If we calculate it according to bone and blood, my elder brother will have half of the Zhao family's blood."

"Your brother?" Zhao Guang frowned: "What's wrong with your brother? Also, what do you mean to save Yi'er's life?"

Before Jiang Ruan could speak, Zhao Yi said, "Grandfather, the girl I met on the road to Chongxinzhuang that day was this lady."

Zhao Yuanjia was stunned: "It's like this."

Jiang Ruan said: "That's it. As for my elder brother, he is safe now, but the situation is critical. Xia Yan and Jiang Quan want to kill him."

She didn't even call her father, and called Jiang Quan by her name, which shows that she was very disgusted with Jiang Quan.

"Niece, you have to make this clear. What do the Jiang family want?" Zhao Yuanping said with a smile.

"My mother died five years ago. I was sent to the village and my eldest brother joined the military camp. I was also back to Beijing at the end of the year. I had met the young master at the General's Mansion and asked him to help me find out about my eldest brother. My eldest brother is now promoted to deputy general and will return to Beijing soon. My maid heard the plans of Jiang Quan and Xia Yan and was preparing to kill his life."

"Niece, have you heard it wrong?" Zhao Yuanjia said in surprise: "After all, it is Jiang Quan's own flesh and blood, how could he be so cruel?"

Jiang Ruan looked at him lightly: "Jiang Quan loved the two children born by Xia Yan. Without my elder brother, Jiang Chao, who was born in Xia Yan, could inherit the entire Jiang family. If the elder brother came back, Jiang Chao's status was in danger, and now the elder brother became a deputy general, it would be a great threat to Jiang Chao who was still a white man. Our brother and sister had long become thorns in Xia Yan's eyes and thorns in flesh. As for the kinship you mentioned..." Jiang Ruan smiled and said, "Maybe Shu Xin's life has been too long, I don't know how difficult it is for us stepmothers to make trouble for people living. If Jiang Quan was thinking about kinship, when Xia Yan bought the Taoist priests to slander me as the Lone Star of Tiansha, and put me on the farm, the things that repeatedly hurt me would not have happened. If I hadn't been my life, I'm afraid there would be a coffin beside my mother's tomb."

"What is Tiansha Lone Star?" Zhao Guang said coldly.

"The general doesn't like the affairs of Jiang's Mansion, so he naturally doesn't know. I think the city guards will not hear the incident of Taoist Master Void that was rumored to be heard a few days ago."

Zhao Yi looked at Jiang Ruan in surprise. He walked outside all day long, and his colleagues gathered together while drinking, and had heard about the incident of Taoist Priest Xukong of the Jiang family. At that time, he sighed for the innocent Miss Jiang, but he didn't know that Miss Jiang was his aunt's daughter and his direct cousin.
