“Yes.”

Zhong Yu didn’t want to deal with Yin Yang initially, but when she heard those words, she nodded, her eyes showing nothing but resolve.

Seeing her nod, Yin Yang also nodded, then spoke softly, “Okay.”

“Yang Er, do you know what you’re saying?”

At this moment, Old Madam Yin panicked. She looked at Yin Yang with disapproval in her eyes. But Yin Yang didn’t look at her, instead he turned to Old Master Zhong, “Father-in-law, if we’re to divorce, we must follow the proper process. We need to inform the Emperor as well.”

“So, for the next few days, you and your mother-in-law may stay in the mansion.”

“There’s no need for that. We can stay in an inn.”

Upon saying this, Old Master Zhong directly addressed Zhong Yu, “Ah Yu, you should sort out your dowry as soon as possible. Tomorrow, I will have Ah Kai and his men take your dowry away.”

“As for Yi Er, let him stay with me at the inn.”

“Yes, Father.”

After saying this, Old Master Zhong turned to Zhong Kai, “Ah Kai, for the next few days, you will stay in your aunt’s courtyard. If anyone dares to bully your aunt, don’t hesitate to fight them, regardless of the outcome.”

“Yes, Grandfather.”

Once these arrangements were settled, Old Master Zhong and his wife, Old Madam Zhong, left the Yin family with their people.

As they approached the Yin family’s gate, Xue Yan turned to Jiang Peihuan, “Huan Er, come and greet Uncle Zhong and Auntie Zhong.”

“Huan Er greets the old master and old madam.”

Seeing the elegant girl standing in front of them, Old Madam Zhong’s eyes filled with joy. She reached out and took Jiang Peihuan’s hand, smiling, “This is the first time I’ve met you, I should have brought a gift, but we were in such a hurry. I’ll make up for it later.”

“You’re too kind, Old Madam.”

“Being Jiang Hong’s daughter, you must have learned martial arts, right?”

At this point, Old Master Zhong turned to Jiang Peihuan and asked.

At this moment, Old Master Zhong looked at Jian Peihuan and asked.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Peihuan nodded, “I’ve trained for a few years.”

“In that case, I’ll give you this dagger.”

As Jiang Peihuan’s voice fell, she saw Old Master Zhong present a dagger to her. Its black sheath gave off a chilling aura.

When she unsheathed the dagger, she could hear a cold whistling sound.

“This dagger has accompanied me on the battlefield for many years, and it has killed many. Now, I give it to you.”

“Old man, Huan Er is a decent girl. Why are you giving her such a violent thing?”

Old Madam Zhong, who was nearby, frowned at Old Master Zhong upon hearing this.

However, Jiang Peihuan respectfully bowed, “Thank you, Old Master.”

Seeing the joy in Jiang Peihuan’s eyes, the old master also showed a trace of a smile.

“Yan Er, you take Huan Er back to the mansion. We’ll go find an inn.”

With that, Old Master Zhong prepared to mount his horse, but was stopped by Jiang Peihuan.

Then, Jiang Peihuan turned to Xue Yan and said, “Mother, didn’t you prepare a dowry house for me on West Street? Why not let the old master and old madam stay there? It’s more comfortable than an inn.”

“Uncle Zhong, Auntie Zhong, please stay in one of my house. The environment there is much nicer than any inn.”

Old Master Zhong, having spent his life in battlefield, was straightforward. After hearing Xue Yan’s proposal, he immediately went with them to the house on West Street.

Because the Zhong family had traveled a long way, Xue Yan didn’t bother them any further. After settling them in, she took Jiang Peihuan and left.

However, once they were in the carriage, Jiang Peihuan noticed that Xue Yan seemed uneasy.

Thinking back to Xue Yan’s conversation with Old Madam Zhong, Jiang Peihuan couldn’t help asking, “Mother, what’s wrong? Did Old Madam Zhong mention any troubles?”

“It’s not Auntie Zhong, it’s your maternal grandmother.”

“Maternal Grandmother?”

Jiang Peihuan hadn’t had much contact with the Xue family. She only remembered that after her family had an incident in her previous life, several of her cousins from the Xue family had visited her.

“Your maternal grandmother has been ill for half a year, but she didn’t let your uncle tell me.”

As she spoke, worry and anxiety filled Xue Yan’s eyes.

Seeing her mother’s expression, Jiang Peihuan said gently, “Mother, why don’t you go to Qingzhou to see grandmother?”

“I can’t.”

“Even though your father has handed over the comander seal, the Emperor hasn’t fully restored his trust in him. If I go to Qingzhou now and the Emperor hears of it, he will undoubtedly suspect your father.”

Upon hearing this, Jiang Peihuan frowned.

After a moment of silence, Jiang Peihuan looked at Xue Yan and said, “In that case, mother, I’ll go to Qingzhou.”

“You?”

“Yes.”

Nodding, Jiang Peihuan spoke softly, “I will ride there with Ye Xiao and Deputy General Liu. Round trip on horseback will take about four days. I should be able to return in less than ten days.”

“Maternal grandmother has been ill for half a year without recovering. I suspect the doctors in Qingzhou have limited skills. Ye Xiao is proficient in medicine, it’s a good opportunity to bring her to treat grandmother.”

Upon hearing Jiang Peihuan’s words, Xue Yan seemed somewhat persuaded.

Among all her concerns, her current most worry is for Old Madam Xue’s health.

After a few seconds of silence, Xue Yan nodded, “Alright, then you should go tomorrow.”

“No, Mother, I’ll depart tonight.”

Meeting Xue Yan’s gaze, Jiang Peihuan spoke softly, “The sooner we leave, the sooner maternal grandmother can be treated.”

The mother and daughter hurried to the General’s Mansion. After hearing Xue Yan’s words, Jiang Hong immediately nodded in agreement.

Looking at Jiang Peihuan, Jiang Hong quietly instructed, “When you go to Qingzhou this time, don’t rush back. Spend some time with your maternal grandmother. If her health isn’t good, send a letter back, and I will have your mother go to Qingzhou right away.”

“I understand, Father.”

That night, Jiang Peihuan packed her things. Xue Yan initially intended to have her travel by carriage so she could take some items to Qingzhou, but Jiang Peihuan directly refused.

Jiang Peihuan rode her horse, Lie Feng, followed by Ye Xiao and Deputy General Liu.

Yue Er and Lu Er also wanted to accompany them, but Jiang Peihuan didn’t want to bring too many people, so she directly declined.

Jiang Peihuan was unaware that as soon as the three of them left the General’s Mansion, someone entered the plum garden.

This person was none other than Han Feng, who was holding a letter in his hand.

However, seeing the empty plum garden, Han Feng’s eyes were full of confusion.

“Who’s there?”

Yue Er was originally preparing to tidy up Jiang Peihuan’s room when she saw a man in the yard. She sternly scolded him, and only recognized Han Feng when he turned around.

“You’re Guard Han?”

“Yes, and you are the eldest miss maid, aren’t you?”

Seeing Yue Er nod, Han Feng quickly said, “Where’s the eldest miss? I’m here by my master’s orders to deliver a letter to her.”

“Eldest Miss has went to Qingzhou.”

“She went to Qingzhou?”

Seeing Yue’er nod, Han Feng couldn’t help but sigh
