When Jiang Guanmu returned to his mansion in the evening, he saw Mrs. Han sitting alone in her room, lost in thought, with a melancholy look on her face that made her feel heartbroken.
Jiang Guanmu walked over, held her shoulders, and asked softly: "Why are you sitting here alone? Who made you unhappy?"
Han raised his head and looked at him, smiled reluctantly, shook his head and said, "No, I'm a little tired after playing with the two children for a while."
Jiang Guanmu nodded. They gave birth to a pair of twins. They are only five years old this year. It is the most noisy time.
Jiang Guanmu held her hand and said, "I've been too busy these days, so don't let them get too spoiled. I'll teach them a lesson once the crisis at Jianling Mausoleum is resolved."
"The children are fine, why are you teaching them a lesson?" Mrs. Han was a little unhappy and said angrily: "They are already very pitiful when they were born in my belly. What else can I do except hurt them more?"
Jiang Guanmu was stunned and asked in confusion: "What's going on?"
Han said quietly: "Seeing that Chao'er is about to become enlightened, but he doesn't even have an identity, you still ask me what's wrong?"
Jiang Guanmu remained silent, and seeing him like this, Han felt even more sad.
He twisted his face and said angrily: "Master Hou has a lot of things to do, go and do your business and leave me alone."
Jiang Guanmu sighed and said helplessly: "What are you thinking about? Of course I have always remembered the matter between you and Chao'er Qin'er. It's just that this matter needs to be returned to Shangyong. If it's just a letter,
If you go back, I'm afraid you won't be able to get through to the elders of the clan, and it will only make their impression of you worse."
Although the Yueyang Hou Mansion is not a famous family like Yong, it is still a big family that has been passed down for several generations.
Even though Jiang Guanmu is Marquis Yueyang, he is not the patriarch of the Jiang family. It does not mean that if he writes a letter back, the family will accept the Han family and their two children.
It would be okay if the Han family was an ordinary country girl, at least she had an innocent identity. However, after the Han family became the guilty minister, it was only the past 20 or 30 years since the Han family was convicted. Maybe the old man of the Jiang family still knew the Han family.
Where's grandfather.
The sins committed by the Han family back then were really not light, and they were not very pretty.
I'm afraid the Jiang family would rather accept a woman from a wealthy family than a sinner.
And there is also Mrs.…
Thinking of his wife in Shangyong, Jiang Guanmu also felt a little guilty.
He came to Yanzhou only two years after his wife married him, and only went back a few times during that time. The total time the couple spent together in these years did not exceed three months.
Over the years, his wife has raised his son, served his parents, and managed the Yueyang Marquis Mansion for him. Even if he has been away from Shangyong for a long time, there is still a place for the Jiang family and the Yueyang Marquis Mansion in the imperial city. It is all the result of the madam's single-handed management and even training.
The eldest son became His Majesty's companion.
At that time, the couple had a deep love and vowed to be in love with each other.
Now he realizes that his whole heart is devoted to the Han family, and he feels somewhat sorry for his wife.
When Mr. Han gave birth to twins, he did not write a letter back to Shangyong to inform his wife. The longer time passed, the less he knew how to speak.
Mrs. Han wiped away her tears and said, "I know that I come from a humble background. Fortunately, the Marquis took pity on me so that I can live the life I have today. I originally thought that I don't want to embarrass you. When you return to Beijing in the future, I will ask you to stay in Jianling."
It's just... what should we do with the two children? They will be inferior as soon as they are born. If so, if they don't have an identity, in the future..."
Seeing the beauty weeping, Jiang Guanmu took her into his arms and said softly: "Okay, Chao'er and Qin'er are also my children, how can I not feel sad? When the war in Yanzhou ends, after
The regent will inevitably come to build the mausoleum for a while. When the time comes, I will try my best to get rid of the credit for these years, and also ask the regent to give you a clean identity. When I return to Beijing to report on my work, we will go back together, and I will make sure you are fair and aboveboard.
Walk into the Yueyang Hou Mansion."
Mrs. Han knew that what he said was never true, and he didn't know how to use nice words to coax people when he couldn't do things, so he couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"real?"
"Of course." Jiang Guanmu said helplessly: "Can I still deceive you?"
Mrs. Han snuggled into his arms and said softly: "Of course I believe in Mr. Hou. There is no one in this world who treats me as well as Mr. Hou."
Jiang Guanmu caressed her vest and said, "I will be good to you all my life."
Seeing that Mr. Han was in a better mood, Jiang Guanmu felt relieved.
"Okay, you have a good rest. I'll go check on General Jiang." Jiang Guanmu stood up and was about to go out. Han quickly stopped him and said, "You just came back. General Jiang must be the same. Why don't you let him rest for a while?"
, just go over and bother me?”
Jiang Guanmu was a little amused and said: "What are you disturbing? It's wartime now, so naturally I went over to discuss the war with General Jiang. General Jiang just said that he had very important things to discuss with me, which were related to the success or failure of the Jianling War.
,where can I have time to rest?”
"That's it." Mr. Han nodded and said, "Then please go quickly, don't delay."
Watching Jiang Guanmu's back go away, Han sat at the table and recalled Jiang Guanmu's promise just now, feeling a sweetness in her heart.
Meeting Mr. Hou was really the best thing that happened to her in her life.
"Madam, why did you let the general leave?" the girl came in with tea and asked quietly.
Han said with a smile: "The Marquis said that he has urgent matters to discuss with General Jiang. How can I keep him here?"
"Is it urgent?" the girl frowned, "Didn't you just come back from the tower?"
Han stood up and said, "Let's not worry about this. This matter is related to the success or failure of the Jianling War. I see that the Marquis is full of confidence. As long as we don't hold back, it will be fine."
The girl looked at her looking so happy and happy, looking like she had nothing to worry about.
His eyes flashed slightly and he said softly: "But madam, that Miss Gu is also in General Jiang's yard right now. If there is really something important, why would General Jiang let her go?"
The smile on Han's face froze, and she pulled the handkerchief in her hand and whispered: "Master Hou will not lie to me."
The girl shook her head and sighed: "Madam, you are confused. Of course, the Marquis will not lie to you, but how can you know what others think? Even though the Gu family of Dongzhou is a wealthy family, they are still a businessman family after all, and Yueyang
It’s different for nobles like the Marquis who hold real power.”

Although Han tried his best to stay calm, he still couldn't help but feel a little panicked.
If she were an ordinary woman, she might not be too interested in what this girl said, but Luo Junyao put too much pressure on her.
Such a young and beautiful girl, at first glance, looks like an innocent and beautiful person who was truly pampered and pampered.
Not to mention who she is now, even when she was fifteen or sixteen years old, she was far behind.
Seeing her like this, the girl flashed a smile in her eyes and said: "It's getting late, why don't you send some refreshments, madam?"
Mr. Han was immersed in his own thoughts and didn't pay attention to the girl's words. He just nodded unconsciously.
After all, Mrs. Han was still worried, so she took the girl and a food box and headed towards Jiang Yan's yard.
As soon as the two of them approached the entrance of the courtyard, they heard the sound of soldiers fighting inside. They couldn't help but stopped and looked at each other, "What's going on inside?"
The girl next to him was also startled and said: "Could it be that Mr. Hou is competing with General Jiang?"
In fact, she herself didn't believe this. Now that the war was urgent, how could the two of them be in the mood to compete in martial arts?
Without thinking too much, the two of them stepped into the courtyard gate in a few steps.
As expected, Jiang Yan and Jiang Guanmu were fighting in the yard.
Han's feet paused, his eyes widened suddenly and he shouted: "Master Hou!"
The sword in Jiang Yan's hand was seen piercing Jiang Guanmu's heart at the moment when he was distracted.
Bright red blood spurted out, and Jiang Guanmu looked back blankly at Han, who was running towards him, and slowly fell to the ground.
"Master Hou!" Han's eyes turned red and he wanted to pounce on Jiang Guanmu who was lying on the ground, but was stopped by the guard next to him.
"You killed the Marquis! I'll kill you!" She frantically wanted to pounce on Jiang Yan, but how could a weak woman compare to two young and strong guards? She couldn't even shake the other's arms.
Thinking that she had just been dreaming about a better life in the future, Han thought that her only support was gone in an instant. She couldn't help but burst into tears and cursed Jiang Yan non-stop.
The girl who was following Mr. Han saw that the situation was not good, so she turned around and wanted to go out.
"Get her!" Jiang Yan said in a deep voice.
Two guards appeared at the door and stopped the girl.
Jiang Yan looked at Jiang Guanmu on the ground and said to Han: "Mrs. Jiang, it's not that I want to kill Jiang Guanmu, it's that he is seeking death himself. For the sake of you being a prostitute, I won't argue with you. Now.
I'll have someone take you to the courtyard, stay there and wait for the prince to be punished, and don't walk around or talk around."
Han's eyes were red, and she looked at Jiang Yan with hatred in her eyes, "You murderer! The Marquis is loyal and devoted himself to defending the city, so you killed him! You are a spy of the Gaoyu people! And you,
you!"
Han pointed at Luo Junyao and Duiying who were standing aside and said, "You are all spies of the Gaoyu people! You deserve death!"
Luo Junyao said innocently: "Madam, this has nothing to do with us. When I came over, my cousin and Marquis Yueyang started fighting. Cousin, this is someone else's home after all. You said there must be a reason for someone to seek death, right?"
"
Jiang Yan sneered, took out two letters and threw them to Han, saying: "Collaborating with the enemy and treason, it is not a pity to die!"
Han didn't believe it at all. She grabbed the letter on the ground and took a look at it before trying to tear it up, but was stopped by the people next to her. She still refused to give up, insisting that Jiang Yan framed Jiang Guanmu and wanted to rob the city defender.
Credit.
Jiang Yandao: "Jiang Guanmu is indeed guarding the city sincerely, because he wants to dedicate the mausoleum to the rebels in Qingzhou, not the Gaoyu people. This is a letter sent by the Cao family in Qingzhou, and also written by Jiang Guanmu himself
Reply to the letter, if Mrs. Jiang thinks it's fake, you might as well take a look for yourself. You've been following Jiang Guanmu for many years, so you can't even recognize whether it's his handwriting, right?"
"No! It won't happen!" Han shouted helplessly, "The Marquis has clearly said that he will take us back to Shangyong when the war in Yanzhou is over."
Jiang Yan said: "Yes, if it can help the Cao family win Yanzhou and the world, what does Marquis Yueyang want?"
After saying this, Jiang Yan's eyes changed and he said in a deep voice: "Take them back! Anyone who dares to leak what happened today will be punished as a collaborator with the enemy!"
"Yes, General!" Two guards grabbed Han's arms, one on the left and the other on the right, and dragged her out.
The girl next to him was also dragged by others and walked out together.
In the yard behind him, Jiang Guanmu was lying tightly on the ground motionless. Even his heart seemed to have stopped moving, and blood was flowing all over the floor.
Han was sent back to his courtyard, and soon found that soldiers from the Zhenguo Army had been stationed outside the courtyard.
These people were cold and callous and ignored her yelling and yelling. As long as she tried to step out of the door, she would be blocked by them.
If she gets too upset, she will even threaten her two children.
Han was tired after being noisy for a while, so she could only go back to the room and lie on the bed and cry loudly.
The servants in the yard knew that something had happened, and they didn't dare to run around and hid in their rooms and didn't dare to go out.
Ms. Han only has her personal maid who has been waiting for her.
I don't know how long she cried before Mrs. Han raised her head and looked at the girl standing aside who didn't know what she was thinking, and said: "Ai Ye, what do you think we should do?"
The girl comforted her softly: "Madam, don't be anxious now. Since Jiang Yan has let us back, he must not have planned to kill us yet."
"But... Mr. Hou is dead." Mrs. Han said sadly, "What will we, mother and son, do in the future?"
The girl sighed and said: "Madam, Jiang Yan said that the Marquis colluded with the rebels in Qingzhou. Do you know about this?"
Mrs. Han shook her head in confusion and said, "I don't know. Usually... you know, Mr. Marquis doesn't tell me these things very much."
The girl frowned, "That letter..."
Mrs. Han whispered: "It's...it's the handwriting of Mr. Hou."
Although she didn't look carefully, she had been with Jiang Guanmu for several years, so she naturally knew his handwriting.
"What does the letter say?" the girl said solemnly.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Mrs. Han shook her head. She was too excited at the time and did not want to read the letter.
When I think back on it, my mind goes blank. I only remember taking a quick glance at it and seeing that it was indeed Jiang Guanmu's handwriting.
The girl glanced disdainfully at the lost woman who was still sitting by the bed, but her tone was calm and sincere.
"Madam, now that the Marquis is gone, Madam must be strong even for the sake of the young master and the young lady."
As soon as she heard that Jiang Guanmu was gone, Mr. Han began to cry again.
"But, I can't do anything. We can't even get out of the courtyard now."
The girl said: "There will always be a way. Jiang Yan only has 10,000 people in Jianling City, and the soldiers in Jianling City are all under the command of the Marquis. And the people in this mansion and even in Jianling City are all here."
We are on the side of the Marquis. Otherwise, Jiang Yan would not have locked us up here, wouldn't he just be afraid that the news would be leaked?"
Han nodded and said: "You are right, Ai Ye, fortunately I still have you. What do we want to do? I want the Marquis to take revenge!"
They want to take revenge. If it were someone more ruthless, they would not even be alive right now.
"What Madam is saying is that the Marquis and his wife are very kind to this slave. Even if I risk my life, I will avenge the Marquis!"
"what should we do?"
The girl glanced at the door and said something like this close to Han's ear.
On the other side of Jiang Yan's yard, Luo Junyao looked at Jiang Yan and said, "You have surrounded the yard over there so tightly. What should I do if people can't get out?"
Jiang Yan smiled and said: "If I can't even get out of the yard, what's the point of being a good job? If I don't let people watch me more closely, I can't guarantee that they won't become suspicious."
Luo Junyao sat under the eaves, holding his chin and said, "That's right. Is there any news from Gao Yu?"
Jiang Yandao: "He Ruomuti is very anxious. The rebels in Qingzhou are heading north. They probably want to seize Yanzhou from Gaoyu."
Luo Junyao was a little surprised, "The Cao family hasn't conquered the world yet, and they are about to fall out with their allies?"
Jiang Yandao: "Going south across Xinzhou and across the river is Shangyong. There are General Luo and the Wuwei Army and the vicinity of the capital and 100,000 troops. To the west behind Fengling Mountain are the Zhenguo Army and the Wuwei Army. To the east is the sea.
There is no other way to go north to the Cao family."
Luo Jun shook his head and said, "That's right. It seems that Cao Mian's absence has a great impact on the Cao family."
"In the current situation, even if Cao Mian is here, there is no other way out, right?" Unless the Cao family can produce a peerless general who can open up the situation in a devastating way.
The Cao family's plan was exposed in advance and Yingzhou's failure had a great impact on the Cao family.
But the Cao family was forced to do this. If they didn't rebel, they would definitely die. If they rebelled, they might still have a way to survive.
"By the way, where is Cao Mian now?" Jiang Yan asked curiously. He only knew that Cao Mian had fallen into the hands of the prince.
Luo Junyao said with a smile: "Guess."
"..."
"General, there is something going on in the east courtyard." The guard outside the door came in and reported.
Luo Junyao and Jiang Yan were both refreshed. Jiang Yan narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Just stare, tighten on the outside and loosen on the inside. Do you understand?"
