Chapter 837 Xie Shang is here
It was already late when Jiang Fenghua returned to the Jiang family. As soon as she got off the carriage, she saw her mother anxiously greeted her, "Ruan Ruan, why did you come back so late? Are you okay?"
Jiang Fenghua smiled and said, "My daughter is fine, why are you worried?"
"Let's talk inside." Jiang Fenghua was very cautious.
As soon as she arrived at the courtyard, the secret guard appeared in front of her, bowed respectfully and said, "Your Highness, please let me know before you go out. If something happens if you break into the Fourth Prince's Mansion without permission, we will lose our heads."
Although his attitude was respectful, his tone was very angry, even blaming. He must be annoyed because he found out she was missing and went looking for her again.
Jiang Fenghua had seen him before, he was one of the secret guards, named Bai Ying.
She has someone to protect her. Xie Shang was afraid that Su Qingqing would tell about her past life, so he killed Su Qingqing with a knife. Today, she went to see Zhang Yurou privately. She suspected that Xie Shang sent someone to kill her because Xie Shang didn't want her to meet Zhang Yurou alone. Zhang Yurou had contact with Su Qingqing.
Xie Ling'er is missing, and Xie Shang must have looked for her secretly. She is now in a state of amnesia, and if she cares too much about the past, Xie Shang will become suspicious.
She always felt that Xie Ling'er was a danger.
Xie Shang didn't want her to have any memories of her past life, and she would cooperate with him, but she still had to figure out everything.
Jiang Fenghua raised her lips and said calmly, "I know how to protect myself. If you want to lock me in a cage to protect me, then don't bother."
After saying that, she took her mother's hand and walked inside. As she walked, she acted coquettishly, "Mom, what delicious food did you make for Ruan Ruan today? Ruan Ruan is hungry."
As soon as her daughter started to act coquettishly, Feng Jingyuan's heart warmed up. She was also frightened by the guards just now and was afraid that Ruan Ruan might be in danger.
Feng Jingyuan said: "Black chicken mushroom soup, steamed mandarin fish... these are what Ruan Ruan likes to eat."
My daughter has been very particular about food since she was young, but she is never picky about food and is easy to feed.
The mother and daughter walked in, talking and laughing.
Hong Xiu was standing at the back and saw that Bai Ying's face had turned green with anger. She quickly stepped forward to ease the atmosphere, "Mr. Bai Ying hasn't had his meal yet, right? Why don't you go eat first? Isn't the queen back? Thank you, Mr. Bai Ying..."
White Eagle waved his arms angrily and left.
Hong Xiu was stunned, "You are so angry."
Their people have been protecting the queen in secret, and they will definitely protect their master if there is real danger.
Lin Yu heard the news and rushed over. She saw Hong Xiu standing in the yard talking to herself and asked, "Where is the queen?"
Hongxiu pointed inside: "He and the madam went in."
Lin Yu also left in a hurry. Seeing Jiang Fenghua was intact, she was still angry. "Your Majesty should not have gone to the Fourth Prince's Mansion today. I have heard that assassins kill without leaving any traces. We don't even know how the Fourth Prince's wife died. What if the assassin wants to attack you?"
Jiang Fenghua quickly covered her mother's ears and winked at Lin Yu, saying, "She is exaggerating. Don't listen to her. It's not dangerous at all. I haven't even got a scratch on my body."
Feng Jingyuan had just been coaxed to feel warm in her heart, but now she became afraid again, "Ruan Ruan! Ah Yu is right, mother doesn't know what is going on in life nowadays, there are fighting and killing every day, there is no peace in life, no matter what, mother and your father only hope that you are safe and healthy, we don't ask for anything else."
At this moment, Jiang's father and Jiang Jinyan appeared in the dining room at the same time. Both of them had their hands behind their backs. Seeing that Jiang Fenghua was safe and sound, they sighed repeatedly, walked in at the same time, and sat down at the same time.
The two of them said nothing, but their actions were funny and hilarious.
Jiang Fenghua thought, it was a good thing that she recovered her memory. She loved her family so much, and she would be so sad if she forgot them all.
Jiang Fenghua suddenly stood up and walked to Jiang Huai, squatted in front of his knees and put her face on his knees, and whispered: "Daddy, my daughter is fine."
In just a moment, Jiang Huai froze. Was Ruan Ruan still the same Ruan Ruan? Was she his daughter?
Jiang Huai almost shed tears, but he was also a smart man. Ruan Ruan obviously did not want the emperor to know about this, so he did not say it out loud.
Jiang Fenghua raised her head and smiled brightly at Jiang Huai, "Father, why didn't you compete with Master Pan today? But I remember that you don't like this kind of activity, so I won't force you."
Jiang Huai quickly helped his daughter up, unable to say anything, "If Ruan Ruan wants you to compete, I will definitely bring you first place next time."
Jiang Fenghua said, "What does it matter if he is first or last? As long as my father is happy, it doesn't matter if he is last."
Jiang Huai's face darkened, "If I, Jiang Huai, want to compete, the worst I can get is first place."
He said calmly: "Do you still remember what your father taught you? When water is low, it becomes the sea; when a person is low, he becomes the king. The saint is nameless; the great is invisible. The eagle stands as if sleeping; the tiger walks as if sick; they are noble but not obvious."
Jiang Fenghua understood what he meant and added, "My daughter still remembers that a good merchant hides his true wealth, and a gentleman of great virtue appears foolish."
Jiang Jinyan was worried about his sister, but he also believed in her. At this time, he also reacted to what Ruan Ruan said. Could it be that Ruan Ruan had recovered her memory, but she didn't let the emperor know?
He remained calm, seeing through it but not saying it: "Anyway, what Ruan Ruan did today was indeed too dangerous."
Jiang Fenghua said: "If we hadn't done this today, how would we know what bigger enemy is hiding behind us!"
Jiang Jinyan was speechless and couldn't utter any words of blame.
Jiang Fenghua smiled slightly and started to act coquettishly again, "My daughter has been busy all day and is so hungry! It's so late and there is no food to eat."
So the family quickly pulled her to sit down, and everyone put food in her bowl. She looked around and asked, "Why aren't sister-in-law and Xiaochu here?"
Feng Jingyuan explained, "Xiaochu is sick, and Mo'er is taking care of her in the backyard. But don't worry, your eldest brother has sent food to your eldest sister-in-law for Xiaochu to eat with. The little girl wants her mother when she is sick, and now even I can't comfort her, so she only wants her mother."
Jiang Fenghua smiled and held Feng Jingyuan's hand, "Don't be jealous, mother. Your daughter is close to you."
Feng Jingyuan glared at her, "How could mother be jealous of Moer? She is Xiaochu's mother."
At this moment, the anxious voice of the housekeeper sounded outside the door, "Your Majesty, please walk slower, the queen is inside!"
When they heard that the emperor had arrived, they quickly stood up from the dining table to greet him.
They had just stood up and had not yet walked away from the table when they saw Xie Shang striding into the dining room.
Without waiting for everyone to salute, he raised his hand and said, "No need to be polite. I am here to take the queen back to the palace."
His tone and attitude indicated that he was indeed somewhat angry.
Jiang Fenghua put down his bowl and chopsticks before he even took a bite, "Then I will go back to the palace with the emperor first!"
Jiang Huai thought of his daughter who hadn't even had a hot meal, so he slammed his chopsticks on the table, stood up and bowed to the emperor, "Your Majesty, I would like to ask you to stay and have dinner before returning to the palace."
Tutor Jiang's behavior was a bit annoying. He had been tolerant all along. They could foresee what life would be like for his daughter after she married into the royal family. It was his daughter who was trying hard to keep her position.
