Chapter 149 - 149: The Old Madam’s Change of Attitudes



Seeing the palm-sized wound, the old madam’s eyes were filled with worry.

“Don’t worry, Old Madam. The wound may appear severe, but it’s just a flesh wound. It won’t leave any scars.”

Just as Jiang Peihuan was about to speak, she heard Liu Xin’s voice.

Upon hearing Liu Xin’s words, Old Madam Jiang heaved a sigh of relief.

However, when she looked at Ye Xiao, she still said softly,” Go ahead and treat Miss Liu. If you need any medicinal herbs, just take them from the Mansion.”

“Yes, Old Madam.”

“Thank you, Old Madam.”

Upon hearing Old Madam Jiang’s words, Liu Xin, who was leaning against the headboard, quickly expressed her gratitude.

Hearing Liu Xin’s words, Old Madam Jiang looked at Liu Xiu and said,” During this period of time, let Miss Liu stay in the mansion to recuperate. Also, prepare a gift of thanks. I will personally visit your brother to thank him in the future.”

“Mother, there’s… there’s no need for that.”

“Xin Er is part of the younger generation. No matter who it is, they should help when they encounter such a thing. There’s no need for you to personally visit.”

Upon hearing Liu Xiu’s words, the look in Old Madam Jiang’s eyes became much better, but she still insisted, “Miss Liu has saved my life. It’s only proper that I personally express my thanks.”

Seeing Liu Xiu about to protest, Madam Jiang turned to Jiang Peihuan and said, “Huan Er, please escort me back.”

“Yes.”

Jiang Peihuan respectfully bowed to Liu Xiu, gave a nod to Liu Xin before reaching out to support Old Madam Jiang.

When they were about to reach the Chrysanthemum Hall, Jiang Peihuan thought of Xue Qi. She quickly looked at Old Madam Jiang and said,” Grandmother, when 1 came back this time, Grandmother asked Cousin Qi to escort me. He is still waiting in Eldest Brother’s courtyard to meet you. I will go and bring him over now.”

“You silly girl, how can you neglect the guest? Go get him quickly.”

Upon hearing Old Madam Jiang’s words, Jiang Peihuan hurriedly ran to Jiang Changbai’s courtyard.

Arriving there, she found the pair engrossed in a sparring match. It seemed their sparring match from last night had escalated into a real fight today.

Seeing that the two of them were fighting, Jiang Peihuan did not interrupt but chose to watch from the side. After all, both Jiang Changbai and Xue Qi had extensive battlefield experience and formidable martial arts skills.

“Eldest Miss, you’re here.”

When Chang An saw Jiang Peihuan, he quickly brought over a cup of tea.

Accepting the tea, Jiang Peihuan asked softly, “How long have Elder Brother and Cousin Qi been fighting?”

“From this morning until now.”

Hearing Chang An’s response, Jiang Peihuan’s eyes reflected a touch of helplessness.

She took a sip of her tea, handed the cup back to Chang An, and shouted, “Elder Brother, Cousin Qi, stop fighting. Grandmother is waiting for you.”

Hearing Jian Peihuan’s words, Xue Qi and Jiang Changbai stopped.

Xue Qi raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead. Then, he looked at Jiang Changbai and said,” I thought that you would definitely neglect your martial arts after returning to Jingdou. I didn’t expect you to improve so much.”

“You’re not falling short either,” Jiang Changbai replied.

By the time the two of them followed Jiang Peihuan to the Chrysanthemum Hall, it was already half a cup of tea’s time later.

Old Madam Jiang sat at the main seat. When she saw the two young men walking in together, her eyes beamed with delight.

“Little Xue Qi pays his respect to Old Madam.”

Looking at Xue Qi, who was bowing to her, Old Madam Jiang hurriedly said,” Quick, get up.”

Once Xue Qi stood upright, Madam Jiang gestured at her side and said with a smile,” I remember the first time I saw you, you were just a child. Now, look how much you’ve grown.”

“I heard from Huan Er that Old Madam Xue’s body has been unwell recently. Is she feeling better now?”

“Old Madam, Grandmother’s body is already much better, all thanks to the servant girl by Huan Er’s side.”

“Initially, 1 intended for Huan Er to stay with Old Madam Xue for a while longer, but unfortunately, I encountered such an unexpected incident.

“Old Madam, your concern is appreciated. However, when Huan Er’s wedding takes place, my grandmother will be coming to Jingdou. You will have a chance to meet then.”

“Yes… At that time, I will definitely pay a visit and have a heart-to-heart talk with Old Madam Xue.”

“Grandmother will definitely be happy to see Old madam.”

Madam Jiang had always held a fondness for Xue Yan. In addition to Xue Qi’s courtesy and generosity, a warm smile hardly left the Old Madam’s face.

Looking at Xue Qi, Old Madam Jiang smiled and said,” It’s rare for you to come here, so you should stay in the mansion for a while. Your aunt and uncle often go to the military camp. You can get Huan Er and Changbai to take you around Jingdou.”

“Indeed, that’s my intention as well,” Xue Qi responded.

Seeing that the Old Madam and Xue Qi were chatting very well, Jiang Peihuan quickly said,” Grandmother, I’m hungry. Why don’t you let Nanny Xu prepare lunch?”

Jian Peihuan did not dare to say that she had not eaten breakfast yet.

Hearing Jiang Peihuan say that she was hungry, Old Madam Jiang quickly looked at Nanny Xu and said,” Yu Zhen, quick , hurry up and get someone to prepare lunch.”

After Nanny Xu left, Old Madam Jiang looked at Xue Qi and said,” Ah Qi, why don’t you have lunch in my courtyard today?”

“Yes, then I’ll have to trouble Old Madam.”

The old madam was used to taking an afternoon nap, so after lunch, Jiang Peihuan and the other two left the chrysanthemum hall.

When they walked out of the courtyard, Jiang Peihuan suddenly looked at Jiang Changbai and said, “Elder Brother, 1 fear the recent attack on Grandmother’s was no mere coincidence. We must thoroughly investigate the matter.”

There were many people from the Jingdou who went to Lingyun Temple to offer incense, and most of them were high officials and nobles, so that road was very peaceful.

The sudden emergence of bandits, Jiang Peihuan deduced, hinted at an underlying conspiracy.

Hearing Jian Peihuan’s words, Jiang Changbai nodded in response.” Father and Mother have already handed this matter over to me. I have also started the investigation. I believe that there will be news soon.”

As soon as Jiang Changbai finished speaking, he saw Ye Xiao walking over.

“Eldest miss, Han Feng is here.”

Given Han Feng’s constant companionship with Xiao Nanye, Jiang Peihuan expressed a measure of surprise upon hearing his arrival.

Jiang Changbai’s eyes were filled with surprise.” What could have brought him here? Could it be that King Cheng sent him here?”

By then, Han Feng had reached Jiang Peihuan.

“Miss Jiang, the master has entrusted me to deliver this letter to you.”

Han Feng stepped forward, extending a courteous bow to Jiang Peihuan. He then retrieved a letter from within his sleeve, presenting it to her with both hands.

Looking at the letter in Han Feng’s hand, Jiang Peihuan reached out and took it. Looking at him, Jiang Peihuan ask softly,” Does your master have anything else to say?”

“Master has requested that you peruse the letter first.”

In response, Jiang Peihuan promptly opened the letter.

Despite its brevity, the content caused her complexion to shift abruptly.

“Huan Er, what’s wrong?”

Jian Peihuan didn’t say anything but handed the letter to Jiang Changbai.

Then, Jian Peihuan looked at Han Feng.

Meeting her gaze, Han Feng continued,” Master said that the Great General has already handed over his military power, so it’s not appropriate to use the soldiers in the army. If the Eldest Miss wanted to go and exterminate the bandits, Master would prepare soldiers for the Eldest Miss..”
