Xia Yan was stunned and smiled and said, "Niang Ruan, why are you here? Didn't you go and pick jewelry with Miss Wen?"

Jiang Ruan smiled apologetically: "It should have been like this, but I saw my elder brother leading the army halfway through. I was excited for a moment and came back with my elder brother." She walked to Xia Yan and smiled: "What my mother asked, I had asked my elder brother just now. My father always knew that my elder brother was not a material for writing, so he carefully taught my second brother. Everyone in the Jiang family knew that when my mother was still there, my father taught my second brother to read and write since he was a child.

But he didn't want to be a martial artist. When his mother passed away, he was reckless and thought about going out for a future. Unexpectedly, he got a deputy general back. Mother shouldn't blame him, it was a blessing in disguise. Besides, the borderland was so cold that the elder brother didn't want to worry his family, so he refused to write a letter back. Didn't his father think so, so he never wrote to ask about his elder brother's situation. This is to hone his elder brother's character!"

Xia Yan's words were vicious and his words were right. Jiang Ruan's words were correct. Look, when the original wife was still there, Jiang Quan carefully taught Jiang Chao and neglected his eldest son. The eldest son in the mansion would inherit the family business no matter how badly he was. What does it mean to have a eldest son who would not hesitate to join the military camp and fight for a future? Jiang Ruan's meaning was really thought-provoking. I think Jiang Quan did not really miss his eldest son, otherwise he could find out where Jiang Xinzhi would go, but how could he not even send a letter to his family? Everyone looked at Jiang Xinzhi and started talking about it. So what if he got Jiang Quan's careful teaching? After all, he failed. On the contrary, it was better than this young master who relied on his own to work hard in everything. Now he has made real military achievements.

Xia Yan naturally noticed the change of everyone's eyes and almost burst into breath. But at this moment, he heard a low voice: "Finish it."

Jiang Ruan looked up and saw that it was Jiang Quan, followed by Jiang Chao and his sisters, Jiang Li and Jiang Dan and several concubines. Except for Mrs. Jiang in bad health, all the Jiang family members were here.

When Jiang Xinzhi met Jiang Quan, he nodded in great politeness and distantness: "Father."

Seeing him like this, Jiang Quan felt a sense of depression. His son is so outstanding now, but he is even more uncontrollable. He watched Jiang Ruan standing beside Jiang Xinzhi. His two children have outstanding appearance and temperament, but they just crawled out of Zhao Mei's belly!

Jiang Susu's expression could not tell anything, but Jiang Chao, with a tense face tightly, staring at Jiang Xinzhi, his eyes as if they were poisonous snakes. Jiang Ruan noticed his eyes and looked directly over and smiled at Jiang Chao.

This smile fell into Jiang Chao's eyes, which was a naked provocation. He slowly clenched his fists and curled up his broken little fingers. He felt that everyone around him looked at him was a joke.

Jiang Ruan's smile remained unchanged. Compared, when two people of the same identity appear in a mansion, the most popular thing people do is to compare. In the last life, people compared her with Jiang Susu. The more outstanding Jiang Susu was, the more unbearable she seemed. Such comparisons could completely destroy a person. And if the object was Jiang Chao, who had always been held by Jiang Quan, and Jiang Chao, who was arrogant, let him taste the taste of being compared to inferior products, would he do something impulsively?

He locked the room and couldn't start. What if he took the initiative to attack?

Jiang Li and the second concubine stared at Jiang Xinzhi hatred, feeling jealous and hatred. When Jiang Xinzhi came back, at least no one in the mansion dared to bully Jiang Ruan openly for the time being. Why is Jiang Ruan so lucky? She is so far, and there is such a brother who has gained fame to rely on her.

Hongying breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, glad that she did not become an enemy of Jiang Ruan. When Jiang Xinyi came back, she would still come back with the status of deputy general. At least Xia Yan's life in the mansion would not be so relaxed. I wonder if Jiang Ruan would fulfill her promise, which really made her sit in the position of mistress? Hongying was secretly excited.

Standing at the door of the mansion and saying something to the Jiang family, Jiang Xinzhi, looked a little tired: "I'm very tired, I want to go back and say a few words to A Ruan first, and I'll talk about anything until evening."

The two brothers and sisters met again, and they were not able to stop them. Just as Jiang Xinzhi was about to enter, Xia Yan finally couldn't help asking: "Xinzhi, have you encountered anything on your way back?"

"What do my mother thinks I should meet?" Jiang Xinzhi asked back. His tone was as gentle as ever, and there was a faint murderous intent. Xia Yan's body stiffened and he smiled and said, "I just asked casually."

Jiang Ruan smiled and said, "My mother really got the word. My elder brother met a group of rebels on the way back."

"Rebellion?" Xia Yan cried out: "How could it be a rebellion?" Those people just ambushed Jiang Xinzhi, so how could it turn into a rebellion? The crime of rebellion is extraordinary. If you accidentally implicate the end of the Nine Clans.

Jiang Ruan said lightly: "That's not the case. Many archers were ambushed. However, General Guan and Prince Xiao arrived and arrested all of them. They probably had to be interrogated carefully. I thought they could find out the person behind them." She smiled at Xia Yan, who was unsure and said: "If the person behind them is caught, he will definitely be dismembered by His Majesty's five horses." After that, he ignored Xia Yan and walked towards the door with Jiang Xinzhi.

Jiang Xinzhi was in a hurry to come back. Before the yard was freed, he went to Jiang Ruan's yard first. Luzhu and Madam Zhou were waiting anxiously. Seeing that the few people came back safely, they were overjoyed and rushed to make tea for them.

Jiang Xinzhi and Jiang Ruan sat by the window. Jiang Xinzhi looked at Jiang Ruan and said, "A Ruan, do you suspect it was done by Xia Yan?" He was not a ignorant and reckless boy at the age of thirteen or fourteen. Jiang Ruan's attitude towards Xia Yan was thought-provoking, but how did Jiang Ruan know these things? And... "Xia Yan cannot mobilize so many archers, those people are clearly well-trained soldiers."

"Xia Yan can't do it, but it doesn't mean that the Jiang family can't do it. Besides, there is a Li family, and perhaps the Eighth Prince." Jiang Ruan looked at him and said, "Brother, you are the one who went to the battlefield to kill the enemy. Let me deal with these secret plots of the ladies in the back home."

"How old are you doing these things?" Jiang Xinzhi frowned and looked at her, feeling both distressed and angry: "Aruan, I don't want you to participate in these things. Leave these to me. If you don't like the Jiang family, we will move out."

"You are the son of Jiang's Mansion. What will others think when you move out? There are so many censors in the capital. Once you have something that can make people criticize you, they will participate in your book without hesitation. What else will you do when you go to your future official career?" Jiang Ruan said: "I will not move out of Jiang's Mansion."
