Jiang Xinman did not stay at Jiang Xinci's side for long. The emperor went to Jiang Xinci's side to guard her. From time to time, he would look at the child and laugh. Jiang Xinman only felt that the coldness in her heart was even more piercing than this winter.

What made Jiang Xinman even angrier was that when Jiang Xinci returned to her home, Xie Chengtian actually brought a concubine with him. Coincidentally, that concubine was the cousin of the sisters, Wang Shuwen's niece.

Was this an embarrassment or a marriage proposal for the two young masters of the Jiang family?

They all wanted to kill the Jiang family. If the Jiang family died, there would be fewer people to help them fill the national treasury for a long time. How could they not know how to kill the goose that laid the golden eggs?

When Jiang Xinman returned to her room tired, the news that made her even more tired came. Zhuang Qiyan saw that the servant girl of the Imperial Concubine Wang was secretly checking her surroundings.

"Sigh..."

When Jiang Xinman saw Jiang Chengyu studying hard, she felt a little comforted in her heart. If he could still be so sensible and serious like when he was young when he was older, then the Jiang family would have a way out.

Jiang Yufeng and Jiang Yulang, those two idiots, couldn't be counted on at all. When they were young, they had never seen anyone so stupid. Instead, they were taught by Third Aunt to be a man in the backyard who played tricks.

What Jiang Yuexiu wanted the most was for all the children of the Jiang family to be able to make a name for themselves in the court. The last thing he wanted was for them to come to the business world like him. His only hope for a girl's family was to marry into a good family and enjoy wealth and glory.

None of the children in the family had been brought up so harshly that they liked to stay at home, and none of them wanted to go on with their business and listen to him.

Jiang Xinman had said that she wanted to inherit him. Jiang Xinman loved to look at the desert and the different sceneries of the bridge and the flowing water when she was traveling as a merchant. Moreover, this way, the children in the family would be able to do what they liked, whether it was being a hero who roamed the world or talking loudly in court.

"Sigh..."

Zhuang Qiyan gave her a small folded piece of paper and comforted her. "Miss, don't sigh all the time. You will get wrinkles."

Jiang Xinman didn't know where he learned some of his words from. What did it mean to get wrinkles? Didn't they usually say that good luck would slip away? She was still very young!

"Why are you giving me this? I've been having toothache lately, so I don't eat sugar."

She sighed again.

Zhuang Qiyan also sighed. Sighs were contagious.

"Miss, you asked me to bring this back... Don't tell me you don't need it now."

Jiang Xinman was a little surprised when she saw the contents of the paper unfolded in front of her." So fast? I thought you still had some time. "

Zhuang Qiyan smiled in embarrassment. "Because I've been a debt collector before..."

"Uh..."

This was not something to be proud of. Young man, you went to collect debts at such a young age. Aren't you afraid of being beaten up by others?

But that didn't matter. The important thing was that she now had the identity of Hong Dou and her brother, and she had already found out who was the one who had an affair with the Outer Palace. Wang Shuwen's branch family used them to contact the Jiang family indirectly.

No matter what happened, it wouldn't be a big deal. If something happened, she could just use cannon fodder to protect herself.

Even if something happened, it would only be done on the surface. After all, the Wang family and the Emperor were on the same boat, and it was impossible for the Emperor to give up the fat in his own bowl for a piece of meat he might not be able to eat.

Jiang Xinman called Zhuang Qiyan outside to ask him about something. He couldn't stay in the house anymore. Jiang Chengyu was already curious, and Jiang Xinman caught him sneaking glances several times.

Zhuang Qiyan spoke as if he was in a hurry. Jiang Xinman spoke very quickly, so she didn't feel like she couldn't hear him. It was just that Zhuang Qiyan, your eagerness to go back and warm your hands is too obvious, isn't it?!

Hong Dou's brother was still waiting for the results. When Zhuang Qiyan went to press for the debt, it turned out that Hong Dou's brother had accidentally broken the Mistress's favorite porcelain. The Mistress was furious.

This way, the Jiang family would be able to buy him back, and Hong Dou would no longer have to collude with the Outer Palace. Now that Lotus Seed saw that Hong Dou was going out of the house more and more frequently, and that she was even withdrawing money from the accountant in advance, she might as well sell her fake information to him.

The two young masters had eaten rice from the Jiang family for so many years, so this time, they had to move as well. As for the time, they would wait until after they returned home this time...

The time for dinner had been set, and after the evening sun had set, although the Emperor had suggested that it should be in the afternoon, he had said with a smile that he wanted to see the beautiful scenery of the Jiang family in the evening.

Jiang Xinman cursed in her heart. Wasn't this on purpose? !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The Emperor just didn't like the Jiang family, so he wanted to cause trouble.

She had asked Jiang Xinci, but she didn't say anything about it.

In fact, it was Imperial Concubine Wang who had whispered that this was interesting.

The emperor took the opportunity to agree. Wasn't he just waiting to watch a good show? How could a fellow who was the emperor be stupid!

Jiang Xinman could only silently send people to watch Xie Chengtian, who wanted to cause trouble, and the concubine beside him.

When they arrived at the lakeside, they brought over a charcoal brazier to warm themselves. When the Emperor saw the fence that appeared by the lake, he narrowed his eyes and said some words of pity.

"What a pity. I wanted to feel the snow falling in the pavilion in the lake. What a pity."

Jiang Xinman's heart twitched when she heard this. Couldn't you go back to the palace and feel it? It was many times bigger than the Jiang family, and there was a beauty lying in bed...

The concubine replied understandingly, "Your Majesty, the weather is cold, and the lake is even colder. As the Jiang family, they have their own considerations."

Jiang Xinman kept clapping her hands. Everyone was smart, and Jiang Xinman felt that she was really here to help her sister discuss the marriage alliance.

Jiang Xinman had arranged for a lot of people here, afraid that someone else would deliberately stir up trouble and take advantage of the chaos to push people away. From time to time, she would pay attention to Jiang Chengyu and Jiang Xinci's child.

Jiang Xinci's child was placed in the crib by the nanny. There were a few heaters next to it, so it couldn't freeze him.

Jiang Xinman was worried about the nanny, so she sent her away and replaced her with her own people.

Jiang Chengyu obediently sat beside Jiang Xinman. Actually, he should have sat beside Fourth Mother, but Fourth Mother's body was weak and she did not attend. Jiang Chengyu originally wanted to stay in the room as well, but Jiang Xinman felt that he could have run out and become a scapegoat before, but now he could as well.

Jiang Xinman was watching the show at the dinner party. If it wasn't for Jiang Chengyu sitting beside her, she would have forgotten what she was doing here.

However, no matter how good the performance was, it couldn't keep people who wanted to cause trouble.

In the midst of the excitement, someone kicked over a few braziers, and sparks flew everywhere. There was a great confusion, and someone shouted, "Fire! Fire!"

Jiang Xinman immediately pulled Jiang Chengyu's hand tightly, and Jiang Chengyu also held her hand tightly, and kept running behind her. If it wasn't for Jiang Xinman pulling him, he would have run away. He was still screaming. He was afraid of Mars.

Jiang Xinman did not know when Jiang Chengyu had the shadow of fear of Mars. He was still fine in her room, and had almost never left her line of sight, but Jiang Chengyu, who was like a little adult, was actually scared to such an extent...

Jiang Xinci's nanny returned to the arena. She did not leave at all and waited for an opportunity to watch. She did not know who said, "The warehouse is on fire!" After that, when she saw the black smoke rising from the warehouse, when no one was worried about her, she rushed forward to pick up the child and started to run around randomly, looking for a place with a lot of people.

The children were all crying from being hit, and no matter how much Jiang Xinman shouted with the others not to panic, when they stopped, they still screamed and ran all over the ground.

Only the people on Jiang Xinman's side remained calm. Jiang Xinman signaled to the people she had brought over, and they divided the arena into several areas with a human wall. Although they quickly turned the chaos into several small chaos, the small chaos was quickly stopped by the threat of their own people beating people with sticks.

However, there were still some places where the wall of people had been knocked down. One of them was the nanny of Jiang Xinci's son. She had already reached the fence, and Jiang Xinci was chasing after her. Her body was already weak after giving birth, and she couldn't run in the winter.

But she couldn't just stand by and watch as her child was taken away and his life decided. It was her child, not Xie Chengtian's!

When the nanny saw that Jiang Xinci was about to catch up to her, she didn't know if she really tripped or pretended to. In any case, the child in her arms flew out.

When Jiang Xinci was chasing after someone, she handed Jiang Chengyu over to Jiang Yulang, who happened to run past her. Jiang Yulang was scared of being beaten up by Jiang Xinman. This time, he obediently pulled Jiang Chengyu and did not let him run away. He even covered Jiang Chengyu's eyes to prevent him from seeing.

Jiang Yulang's injuries had healed a long time ago, so he just came over to join in the fun. He didn't expect to catch the fire...

No matter how hard Jiang Xinman ran, she couldn't reach the fence. The roots and Zhuang Qiyan were pushed to the edge of the fence and couldn't get over at all.

Jiang Xinci wanted to climb the fence as if she had gone crazy, but the servants at the side stopped her. The child had fallen into the lake, and the adults could not fall in again.

Jiang Xinman watched helplessly as he fell into the lake with a splash, and only a cloth bag floated on the surface of the lake.

Jiang Xinman sat on the ground...

The nanny cried and begged for mercy and kowtowed. In the eyes of Jiang Xinman and Jiang Xinci, it was all an act. Could an ordinary nanny kick down the table and walk through the human wall to the fence in two or three steps?!

Jiang Xinci looked at the lake and saw that there was only the child's hood. She heard the sound of the water falling clearly. Her child had fallen into the water. Even if someone went down to save him now, he wouldn't be able to live for much longer...

He turned his head and looked coldly at the nanny who was kowtowing on the ground. He grabbed her collar and made her raise her head. Without saying a word, he gave her a few slaps.

The nanny covered her face and begged, "My Lady, I didn't expect that my feet would slip. It is all ice here. I can't stand..."

"Bullsh * t! If you want him dead, just say it! Give me back my child! That's mine..."

Jiang Xinci had already forgotten all about her self-restraint. She kept hitting the wet nurse who was holding her head on the ground. That was her child, the only child. When she decided to keep him, she was really afraid that she wouldn't be able to hide the matter of the child from her family and the people in the palace. She didn't tell anyone.

The only hope she had of staying at court was gone. He was so young.

When she didn't want him, the child stubbornly survived. But when she decided to protect him, he left...

When Jiang Xinman was told that she hadn't found the child yet, she subconsciously looked at Xie Chengtian. He just frowned and didn't say a word.

Where was he when the accident happened? The emperor was naturally protected at the back, and he had no intention of protecting his child.

Xie Chengtian's eyes were cold and filled with pity. To him, it was just one less useless tool. Jiang Xinci had already sensed his intentions. Otherwise, she wouldn't have taken the child back to the Jiang family without any hesitation.

It didn't matter to him who was behind all this, what mattered was what he could do with this elaborate accident...
