The Jiang family members rushed back to the capital overnight.
Aunt Zhao's worries were resolved and she had a rare good sleep. When she got off the carriage in the morning, she seemed to be in high spirits.
Jiang Zhe handed the horse to his servant and immediately went to the mansion to freshen up.
When Jiang Zhe and others returned to the mansion, they had notified the servants in advance, so hot water and meals were prepared.
Jiang Zhe was dusty and unkempt. Although he couldn't wait to see the princess and Jiang Miao, he couldn't see anyone with his slovenly appearance.
Therefore, no matter how anxious he was, he had to take care of himself first.
Seeing his anxious look, Aunt Zhao felt a dull pain in her heart. Aunt Zhao supported her and comforted her in a low voice.
"Master, you also go and tidy up, and wait for the general to come back from the eldest princess's mansion, so that you can find an opportunity to mention the adoption to him."
"Yes, mama, I know."
She has understood that relying on a man is not a long-term solution, especially since the man's heart is no longer with her, and she has to make plans for herself.
The eldest princess and Jiang Miao must have been fed up with Jiang Jiu, the son of a concubine and an enemy. When Jiang Zhe meets the two of them, they will definitely talk about it. When the time comes, Jiang Zhe will also bring Jiang Jiu to the throne in order to solve the problem.
Bring it back.
At that time, she happened to bring up the matter of adoptive custody, but Aunt Zhao didn't believe Jiang Zhe would agree.
She had a good idea, but her plans couldn't keep up with the changes.
At this time, in the eldest princess's residence, Jiang Miao came with two little dumplings to see her mother.
It was the first time for Xiao Anyi and Yingying to go out, and everything they saw felt new.
Especially the eldest princess's mansion is bigger than Shen's mansion, and there are more flowers and plants. Yingying likes these colorful things the most. The little guy is dazzled by them, and his bright black eyes are full of novelty.
The eldest princess hugged her and couldn't put it down. This little girl was exactly the same as Jiang Miao when she was a child. They were both pink and tender, soft and glutinous dumplings. When she saw Yingying, the eldest princess thought of Jiang Miao's childhood.
Jiang Miao is her pillar of support, the treasure that allows her to remain calm in the face of her husband's betrayal.
She was just pregnant at that time, and Jiang Zhe brought back a concubine from the border, that is, Aunt Zhao.
After the two of them got married, various conflicts arose. Jiang Zhe was domineering and the eldest princess was strong. Neither of them gave in to the other. What little affection they had had was lost in the quarrels.
But the eldest princess had never thought about divorce. She really liked Jiang Zhe, otherwise she would not have broken off the engagement with Lu Yuanshan and married him.
But who would have thought that this man was not what she imagined. He was not her unparalleled hero, but the disaster of half her life.
Thinking of Jiang Zhe, the eldest princess was a little lost. Why was she so obsessed with marrying him at that time?
If she had not met him, she would not have let Lu Yuanshan down, let alone the decades of loneliness, and the pain after losing her daughter.
There was a hint of coldness in the eyes of the eldest princess, and her face suddenly turned cold, frightening the little one in her arms.
Yingying pulled the clothes on her chest and coaxed her with a grin.
"Ahh..."
"Hey, grandma's great grandson, why is he so good?"
When the eldest princess came back to her senses, her heart melted when she saw Yingying's adorable appearance.
Those things in the past have long since passed, and all she needs to focus on is the present. Now she has Lu Yuanshan, her daughter, and two grandchildren, and her life is ordinary and happy, so why should she make herself uncomfortable?
Even if Jiang Zhe appeared in front of her now, she would not give him a look.
That man, he doesn't deserve it!
Yingying found that her grandma became happy again, and she also smiled happily. The pear dimples at the corners of her mouth seemed to be filled with honey, which was sweet.
Lu Yuanshan followed the maid in, walked to the door, and saw the woman holding the child in the sunshine. Her whole body seemed to be covered with a layer of holy light, and she was as gentle as a mortal.
Lu Yuanshan was fascinated, and the expression on his face became softer.
Jiang Miao raised her head and saw the person, stood up and saluted.
"Uncle Lu."
This was the first time Xiao Anyi met Lu Yuanshan. The little guy was lively and didn't recognize strangers at all. He would open his arms and let people hug him.
"Ah!"
Jiang Miao didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so she grabbed both of his paws. She didn't know who this familiar look was because she and Shen Yanqing were neither social cows, but the two little dumplings were more lively than the other.
But fortunately, they both look good and others like to tease them.
Lu Yuanshan took it with a smile. Although he was a Confucian scholar, he practiced martial arts every day and his body was full of strength.
Lu Yuanshan lifted the little guy above his head, and Xiao Anyi grinned to the back of his head with joy.
"Ah!"
He still wants to fly!
Lying in the arms of the eldest princess, Yingying was a little envious when she saw it. She sucked her fingers and stared at her with big eyes.
Lu Yuanshan didn't know what she was thinking. He held Xiao Anyi in one hand and hugged Yingying with the other. The two little guys, one on each side, played games on his arms.
The two little guys screamed happily, and the eldest princess looked at them with a gentle smile in her eyes.
If he had children, Lu Yuanshan would be a very good father.
Jiang Miao had a very good impression of her would-be stepfather, who was not only infatuated with her mother, but also kind to her, and had nothing to say about his character.
They have missed too much time and should be happy for the rest of their lives.
Thinking of this, Jiang Miao approached and held the eldest princess's hand.
"Mom, Uncle Lu has been waiting for so many years, just promise him."
It's obviously not cost-effective to waste your happiness for a scumbag dad.
The eldest princess's face turned red, and the gentle woman also looked like a delicate little girl.
Looking at the man who was having a great time playing with the two little guys, she nodded slightly.
"Mom knows."
Seemingly aware, Lu Yuanshan looked over and met her affectionate eyes.
His heart warmed up, and he suddenly understood what she meant.
Linlang agreed to marry him?
Isn't he dreaming?
Lu Yuanshan predicted this scenario many times, but never thought it would come so soon.
"Ah!"
The two little guys slapped him hard, why didn't they move and kept flying!
Lu Yuanshan recovered from the pain, with a silly smile on his face.
"An Yi, please don't hit grandpa. Grandpa's flesh is tough. Be careful of hurting your hands."
As gentle as his expression was, he gave instructions in a soft voice, regardless of whether the two little guys could hear him or not.
"My grandson has a grandfather, what kind of grandfather do you think he is!"
The happy atmosphere was suddenly broken, when a tall man walked in from outside. He was facing the light and his face was dark.
"Master, General Jiang insisted on coming in, but I didn't stop him."
With a grimace on her face, the maid trotted after her, and as soon as she entered the door, she apologized to the eldest princess.
Jiang Zhe looked at Lu Yuanshan with sharp eyes, glared at him, and then changed his look to look at the eldest princess with affection.
His voice was gentle, completely different from before.
