Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Jiang Changbai was about to refuse when Jiang Peihuan laughed and spoke up.

Upon hearing this, before Jiang Changbai could respond, the old madam tapped Jiang Peihuan’s forehead with a hint of annoyance. “You little girl, when you got married, what I gave you was even more than this. And yet, you still have eyes on your elder brother’s gift.”

“Your Highness?”

At this moment, the old madam suddenly turned to Xiao Nanye.

Xiao Nanye had been sitting quietly on the side.

The kind of familial bond displayed in the Jiang family was something he had never experienced before. Honestly, Xiao Nanye felt envious.

Hearing the old madam addressing him, Xiao Nanye looked at her warmly and replied, “Grandmother?”

At this point, the old madam took out a sandalwood box from somewhere.

“At that time, I didn’t know whether Huan Er would be a boy or a girl, so I prepared two gifts. I’ve kept this jade crown since then.”

“I’ve already given gifts to Changbai and Songbai. I will give this white jade crown to you. I hope you will not disdain it.”

Taking the box from Nanny Xu, Xiao Nanye carefully opened it.

A pure white jade crown lay quietly inside. Seeing the crown, a warm feeling surged in Xiao Nanye’s heart.

Closing the lid gently, Xiao Nanye smiled at Old Madam Jiang and said, “Thank you, grandmother.”

As he spoke, Xiao Nanye respectfully bowed to Old Madam Jiang.

“Quick, get up,” urged the old madam upon seeing his gesture.

Jiang Peihuan watched this scene with a smile in her eyes.

She knew that Xiao Nanye’s respect for the Jiang family was because of her.

And the Jiang family’s regard for Xiao Nanye was also because of her.

She felt so fortunate to be cherished by so many.

After the old madam approved of Jiang Changbai and Liu Xin’s marriage, Jiang Hong and Xue Yan had no objections.

Three days later, Jiang Peihuan and Liu Xiu visited the Liu residence.

They brought with them a generous dowry.

The Liu family was wealthy, but the gifts signified the high regard they had for Liu Xin. Seeing these gifts, the Liu family looked pleased.

Liu Xiu personally discussed the marriage with the Liu family. Once the date was set, Xue Yan and Jiang Hong would visit.

As for Jiang Peihuan, she went to Liu Xin’s courtyard.

“Sister Jiang, thank you,” Liu Xin whispered, supporting Jiang Peihuan.

Liu Xin supported Jian Peihuan () and said softly.

Hearing this, Jiang Peihuan chuckled softly, “In a short while, 1’11 have to call you sister-in-law.”

“Sister Jiang?”

Hearing this, Liu Xin’s cheeks flushed.

As they sat in the pavilion, Liu Xin, recalling her concerns, couldn’t help but ask, “Sister Jiang, is the old madam angry about this?”

Seeing the worry in Liu Xin’s eyes, Jiang Peihuan held her hand and whispered, “Xin Er, rest assured, grandmother is very pleased with this marriage. You have nothing to worry about.”

“Although grandmother is stubborn, she is essentially kind-hearted.”

“In the future, when I go to the Jiang family, I will surely be filial to Old Madam Jiang.”

The Jiang family treated the Liu family with great respect, and the Liu family was very gracious in return. Thus, the wedding of Jiang Changbai and Liu Xin was set for half a month later.

When the news of this marriage spread, the people of the capital discussed it animatedly.

Some said that Liu Xin was fortunate, as a merchant’s daughter, to marry the eldest son of the general’s mansion. Others whispered that Liu Xin had used underhanded methods.

Regardless of the gossip, the wedding day for Jiang Changbai and Liu Xin finally arrived.

Three days in advance, the Liu family began their charity work, bringing joy and festivities throughout the city. The only exception was the Prince Qing’s Mansion.

In a secluded corner of the Qing Mansion, Xue Ru sat hunched in a chair, her eyes dark and stormy.

After Jiang Yan’s death, Xiao Junhao did not kill Xue Ru. Instead, he let her be sent by Lin Mengyao to this remote corner.

After Jiang Meng’s death, Xiao Junhao didn’t kill Xue Ru, but he didn’t care about her either. Lin Mengyao sent her to this remote corner.

“The Liu family is truly wealthy. They are distributing silver on the streets.”

“Yes, I even received a silver coin…”

Whispers from outside drifted into Xue Ru’s ears.

Angered by what she heard, Xue Ru’s already dark expression twisted malevolently. Rising, she took a silver hairpin from her hair and approached the two maids from behind, stabbing them with the pin.

In moments, they fell to the ground. Looking at the maids, a creepy smile formed on Xue Ru’s pale face. She bent down to snatch the silver coins from their hands and promptly left the courtyard.

After Xue Ru’s departure, someone hurried to Lin Mengyao’s chambers.

“Side Princess Consort that Secondary Consort Xue has left.”

Lin Mengyao, in the midst of combing her hair, paused. “Do you know where she went?”

“It seems she’s headed to the general’s mansion.”

“Let her be. If necessary, send someone to assist her.”

“Yes.”

At the General’s Mansion, the entire place was adorned in festive red.

After renovations, the mansion looked grander than before. Today, draped in the auspicious color, it seemed exceptionally joyous.

In the main hall, Jiang Peihuan, Xiao Nanye, and the Jiang family gathered for the wedding ceremony.

Jiang Hong and his wife, Xue Yan, sat at the head seats, waiting with smiles.

“They’re here! Father, mother, elder brother, they’ve returned!”

Jiang Sijin, eyes sparkling with excitement, announced the arrival, and firecrackers erupted.

Everyone saw the bridegroom, Jiang Changbai, in bright red, with what appeared to be Liu Xin, her head covered with a red bridal veil, following behind him.

As Liu Xin ascended the stairs, Jiang Peihuan’s brow furrowed slightly.

The couple prepared to bow to the heavens and the earth. However, just as they were about to kneel, a weak voice called out, “Wait!”

Both Jiang Peihuan and Jiang Changbai froze.

The bride yanked off her veil, revealing a dagger that she thrust at Jiang Changbai.

Everything happened in a flash. As Jiang Peihuan tried to intervene, it was too late.

Suddenly, a figure rushed forward, kicking the imposter away. The fake bride was not Liu Xin, but Xue Ru.

Xiao Nanye’s swift action saved the day. Only then did everyone’s gaze turn to the entrance where the real Liu Xing, also in red but pale-faced, stood.

“Xin Er?”

Seeing her, Jiang Changbai rushed to her side.

Grasping Jiang Changbai’s hand, Liu Xin, her eyes filled with rage, pointed at Xue Ru, “She impersonated a maid from the Jiang family, infiltrated the mansion, and knocked me unconscious.”

Everyone’s eyes turned to Xue Ru, filled with anger.

Xue Ru’s eyes, meanwhile, bore into the Jiang family with pure hatred, especially at Xue Yan.

“Xue Ru, why have you done this?”
