“Now, this is all we can do.”
“Xin Er, how did you end up here?”
At this moment, Liu Xiu turned to her niece.
The secret tunnel was narrow, making it impossible to transport the cart. As the Jiang family emerged in the suburbs and were at a loss, they saw Liu Xin approaching.
Soon after, they all boarded Liu Xin’s cart.
Hearing Liu Xiu’s words, Liu Xin whispered, “The city is in chaos. My father and elder brother, concerned for my safety, ordered someone to escort me out of the city to our country estate.”
“I saw you all while passing by and came over.”
“Anyway, we’re really indebted to you today.”
At this, Old Madam Jiang softly addressed Liu Xin.
Hearing this, Liu Xin quickly responded, “Old Madam, please don’t say that.
Anyone would have done the same.”
Old Madam Jiang didn’t add anything further, but her look towards Liu Xin became even warmer.
Counting this instance, it was the second time Liu Xin had come to her aid.
Perhaps this was destiny.
She should no longer hinder that matter.
Thinking of it, the old madam’s gaze inadvertently settled on Liu Xin. Setting aside Liu family’s origins, she was quite pleased with Liu Xin herself.
“Miss, there are pursuers coming from behind!”
At this moment, the coachman outside suddenly spoke up.
Hearing this, Liu Xin’s complexion changed.
The expressions of everyone else in the cart also shifted.
“What should we do?”
Zhou Rongfang exclaimed in full panic.
Liu Xin directly lifted the curtain and asked the person outside, “Do you know who these pursuers are?”
After a brief silence, the coachman whispered, “I don’t recognize them, but they seem to be strangers.”
“Speed up and head straight to the estate.”
“Yes.”
Hearing Liu Xin’s command, the coachman immediately whipped the horses into a faster pace.
Liu Xin quickly steadied Old Madam Jiang whispering, “Hold on a little longer, Old Madam. We’ll be there soon.”
“I’m fine; don’t mind me.”
Seeing that Liu Xin was still worried about her even at this time, the old madam softly replied.
Despite the cart’s speed, it was no match for the pursuers’ horses.
Fortunately, before the pursuers could catch up, Liu Xin and the others entered the estate and shut the gate behind them.
However, the moment the gate closed, the sound of pounding was heard.
Before Liu Xin could even take a breather, her eyes reflected her deep concern.
“What should we do now?”
“Second sister-in-law, please calm down.”
“How can I stay calm? If I’d known, I would have gone somewhere else. I…” “Would you just shut up?!”
Hearing Zhou Rongfang’s constant chatter, Old Madam Jiang, with eyes full of anger, scolded.
Zhou Rongfang wanted to say something but couldn’t muster a word against the the old madam’s fierce gaze.
At this point, Liu Xin turned to Liu Xiu, “Auntie, take Old Madam Jiang and the second lady to hide in the cellar.”
“What about you?”
“I’ll stay here and guard. 1…”
“No!”
Before Liu Xiu could even speak, the old madam interrupted Liu Xin’s words.
Looking at her, the Old Madam whispered, “How can we leave you alone here?” “Old Madam, if we’re all here and they break in, we will all die. Rather than that, we should…”
“Miss, look, it’s Young Master Jiang!” Before Liu Xing could finish her sentence, a maidservant beside her exclaimed.
Hearing this, Liu Xin hurriedly moved to the second floor.
Old Madam Jiang’s eyes also revealed a hint of a smile. Looking at Liu Xiu, she whispered, “It must be Chang Bai who has come, quickly, help me up.” “Mother, please be careful.”
Liu Xiu held Old Madam’s hand, speaking softly.
From the second floor, Liu Xin could clearly see the scene outside the gate.
Jiang Changbai was riding a white horse, followed by a group of attendants.
The man was tall and handsome, holding a long sword.
When Liu Xin saw Jiang Changbai, the man on the horse also looked at her.
Their eyes met, and a brilliant smile appeared in Jiang Changbai’s eyes. However, that smile turned fierce when he saw the soldiers at the gate.
A moment later, all the men at the gate were killed by Jiang Changbai.
Entering the mansion, Jiang Changbai knelt before Old Madam, “Grandmother, I apologize for my tardiness. I’m sorry you were frightened.”
“Quickly get up.”
Seeing Jiang Changbai in white, the Old Madam’s eyes welled up with tears.
Holding Jiang Changbai’s hand, she immediately asked, “Have you seen Huan
Er? How is she?”
Mentioning Jiang Peihuan, Old Madam’s eyes were filled with worry and a tinge of redness.
Seeing her expression, Jiang Changbai quickly reassured, “Grandmother, don’t worry. Huan Er is fine. She’s in the palace, and King Cheng is with her.”
“That’s good… that’s good…”
Hearing this, the Old Madam finally sighed in relief.
However, what Jiang Changbai said next made her look distressed.
“Grandmother, our mansion has been burnt down. We won’t be able to live there for a while.”
Hearing this, the Old Madam looked sad, but after a moment she softly replied, “It doesn’t matter. As long as you’re all safe, everything else is external.”
“Aunt, the Old Madam and Second Madam must be exhausted. Maybe they should rest first.”
“Mother, let me help you rest.”
Old Madam was indeed old, and her nerves had been tense with fear.
Seeing Jiang Changbai, she felt relieved but utterly exhausted. She nodded at Liu Xiu’s words.
After everyone left, Liu Xin turned to Jiang Changbai, “Are you hurt?”
“I’m fine.”
While speaking, Liu Xin carefully inspected him, ensuring he had no injuries.
She then breathed a sigh of relief.
“Xin Er, thank you for everything.”
“Brother Jiang, there’s no need for thanks between us.”
She spoke with a smile in her eyes.
Seeing her smile, Jiang Chang Bai instinctively blurted out, “Xin Er, once all of this is over, I will come to the Liu family to propose.”
“Propose?”
Hearing Jiang Changbai’s words, Liu Xin’s eyes revealed a hint of surprise.
However, thinking of Old Madam Jiang, that surprise quickly faded. Looking at the man before her, she whispered, “The Old Madam probably won’t agree to our marriage.”
“If grandmother disagrees, I will convince her. Besides, she always dotes on
Huan Er. If I ask Huan Er to mediate, it will surely work.”
“And, I’ve decided. Even if grandmother doesn’t agree, I will still marry you.”
Hearing this, Liu Xin didn’t say anything.
Because she genuinely liked Jiang Changbai and truly wanted to marry him.
In the Imperial Palace.
Perhaps because she saw Xiao Nanye, Jiang Peihuan felt relaxed. As a result, she slept till evening..
