Madam thought for a moment and laughed, “Old Master is right. Our child has been wronged, should he not vent his anger? Old Master, allow me to accompany you. I’ve just found some ginseng in the storage room, we can bring it to Seventh Sister to nourish her body.”
The ginseng in the storage room is old and may not be good. Fortunately, when I came back from Lingbei Liu Yitong gave me two thousand-year-old ginseng. Let’s take it to her,” Old Master replied.
Madam laughed, “Really a thousand years old?”
Jiang Mubai also laughed: “Liu Yitong says so, let’s just take it as it is. I have seen the quality of the ginseng. Although it is not a thousand years old, it’s still a good item. It will be beneficial for Seventh Sister’s injury. Also, there are a few sable skins, let’s take them and distribute them to her.”
Madam, being a gracious and gentle woman, considers herself responsible for the second main house of Jiang Family, as she is the eldest daughter-in-law of the main house. Whenever she obtains good things, she shares them with others.
She instructed her servants to pack everything neatly, and the couple went directly to the second house.
The Jiang Family was originally a large clan. Although the main and the second houses were separately located, they were only a street apart and just a few steps away from each other.
The brothers had a good relationship, and lived with the old lady. In the past few years, she has been staying in the temple in the suburbs, practicing asceticism and rarely returning.
The reason for running separate households was simply to avoid suspicion between the two brothers.
One was an influential civil official, and the other was a well-known, powerful general.
If these two people were close, the emperor would feel uneasy.
Therefore, the relationship between these two brothers was somewhat complex.
Neither the husband nor wife needed to use the front entrance, but could come in from the side gate and directly go to the backyard of the second household, which is much more convenient and wouldn’t attract attention.
Jiang Ruobai had already received the news of his elder brother’s return. Seeing the couple holding hands, he couldn’t help but laugh and say, “The affection between Brother and Sister-in-law is still so strong.”
“Isn’t absence supposed to make the heart grow fonder?” Jiang Mubai shot a glance at his younger brother, “I left you in charge of the family. Turns out? Everything just went backward!”
Jiang Ruobai gave a bitter smile without arguing.
Madam said: “Don’t scold as soon as you come back. This is home, not your army camp!”
At this time, Lin Zizi came over, supported by a maid’s hand.
“Elder brother is back.”
Jiang Mubai nodded his head when he saw her. Although her eyes were red and her brows were tightly furrowed, her mind was clear. He couldn’t help but feel amazed. It seemed she really was better.
Madam asked, “I heard from Shan’er that when Third Son asked Yu Shengshou for treatment, Seventh Sister got much better?”
“Yes, she is somewhat better.”
Everyone was talking while walking into Jiang Ning’s room.
Jiang Mubai looked around and asked, “Where are the little twins?”
“They have been brought back and are currently being taken care of in Zizi’s room,” Jiang Ruobai said. “Seventh Sister is in this condition and can’t look after the children temporarily. And the Prince of Yu is still at the Court of Judicial Review, he can’t come back.”
Jiang Ning’s numbness gradually faded and the pain returned. She was grimacing in pain. When she heard voices, she turned her head and saw the man walking in the middle of the group.
The man was in his forties, had a short beard, and a slightly dark face that was stern and cold.
His facial features were somewhat similar to Jiang Ruobai’s.
Jiang Ning, trying to sit up with the help of Huang Ying, was stopped by Madam who quickly stepped forward, “Good girl, stay still. You mustn’t move your leg.”
Jiang Ning said, “Uncle is back, and I am sorry that I am unable to get up to greet you.”
Seeing the young girl, Jiang Mubai couldn’t help but inwardly praise her.
