A cool breeze blows at night.
Lin Jiangnian forcibly took Xiaozhu into the bathroom, took a quick shower and changed into a clean and tidy robe.
I walked out of Xiaozhu's room feeling refreshed.
Under the eaves in the courtyard, a maid had been waiting for a long time.
"Your Highness, Miss Jiang asked me to call you over."
"Um?"
Lin Jiangnian was slightly suspicious. Why was his aunt looking for him at this time?
"Aunt is looking for me, is there something important?"
The maid under the eaves shook her head slightly: "I don't know."
"Where is the kite?" Lin Jiangnian asked again.
The maid said, "Miss Zhiyuan is also with Miss Jiang!"
Lin Jiangnian understood something instantly. Could it be that Zhiyuan had said something to his aunt?
Thinking of this, Lin Jiangnian hesitated. Given his aunt's personality, if she knew what happened tonight, she would probably lecture him again.
After thinking and hesitating for a while, Lin Jiangnian finally decided to go over there.
What is coming will eventually come!
If I don't go, my aunt might come and kill me...
Thinking of this, Lin Jiangnian walked to the courtyard where his aunt lived, walked to the door with ease, and was about to raise his hand to knock on the door when it suddenly opened.
Zhiyuan's cold figure appeared at the door. When she saw Lin Jiangnian, she glared at him lightly and turned back to the room.
Lin Jiangnian followed closely behind and stepped into the room.
Just as I was about to speak to Zhiyuan, I suddenly heard a cold snort.
Lin Jiangnian subconsciously raised his eyes and saw his aunt, dressed in an elegant dress, staring at him with a stern face in front of the screen in a room not far away.
A hint of anger appeared on that face that should have been exquisite and beautiful.
There is a certain solemnity in her expression, yet she appears inexplicably beautiful.
"Aunt."
Lin Jiang spoke in a young voice and blinked: "Aunt, what's wrong with you?"
"What do you think?"
Jiang Yuxiang stared at him with a cold face and said expressionlessly.
"Did someone bully my aunt?"
Lin Jiangnian said indignantly: "Aunt, just tell me and I will teach him a lesson for you..."
"Stop giving me that playful smile!"
Seeing Lin Jiangnian's frivolous look, Jiang Yuxiang became even angrier!
She raised her bare hand and knocked on the table, so hard that it shook slightly. Her face was full of anger, and she asked, "Such a big thing happened, why didn't you tell me first?!"
Hearing this, Lin Jiangnian subconsciously turned around and looked at the kite not far away.
The kite moved its head away.
Don't look at him.
"Don't look at the kite, it has nothing to do with the kite!"
Seeing Lin Jiangnian's expression, Jiang Yuxiang became even angrier.
This brat, is he trying to bully Zhiyuan again?!
"Such a big thing happened outside the Jiang Mansion. Do you really think you can hide it from me, your aunt?!"
Jiang Yuxiang spoke angrily.
Lin Jiangnian said quickly: "Of course it can't be hidden. My aunt is so smart, how could she hide it..."
"Shut up!"
Jiang Yuxiang interrupted Lin Jiangnian's flattering compliments with a harsh voice. Her beautiful eyes widened in anger, her chest heaved up and down in anger, and she was very emotional.
It really pissed her off!
She still didn't know that this brat had actually done such a big thing without telling her?!
Not long ago, servants from the Jiang Mansion came to report that a large number of secret police from the Secret Service suddenly appeared outside the Jiang Mansion. It was said that something big had happened.
After some inquiries, Jiang Yuxiang soon learned that someone from the Secret Heaven Division had been attacked, and she heard that the victim was a guardian of the Secret Heaven Division.
This news shocked Jiang Yuxiang. Under the emperor's feet, who would dare to attack the emperor's personal guards?
More importantly, why did it happen outside the Jiang Mansion?
Jiang Yuxiang quickly realized that something was wrong, especially after hearing from people in the mansion that just this morning, Lin Qingqing and Lin Kong, who were by Lin Jiangnian's side, suddenly left the Jiang Mansion with the prince's personal army.
Jiang Yuxiang realized that something was wrong at that time and immediately went to find Zhiyuan to ask.
This question revealed something big!
Although Zhiyuan didn't say it explicitly, how could Jiang Yuxiang not understand Zhiyuan? From Zhiyuan's reaction, she realized the seriousness of the problem... It was indeed related to Lin Jiangnian!
"The Secret Service is nominally the Emperor's personal guard, and the Secret Service's protectors are His Majesty's men. You, you are too presumptuous!"
Jiang Yuxiang was furious: "Do you know what the consequences would be if it were exposed?"
"Auntie, calm down first and calm down..."
Seeing that his aunt's face turned slightly red due to anger and her beautiful face was tense, Lin Jiangnian quickly spoke to comfort her.
"Calm down? How can I calm down?"
Jiang Yuxiang gritted her teeth and glared at him: "Do you know that you are plotting a rebellion? Once it is exposed or fails... you are finished, do you understand?!"
"Such a big thing, why didn't you tell me in advance?!"
"Do you still consider me your aunt?!"
"Of course, Auntie will always be my auntie!"
Lin Jiangnian nodded hurriedly.
"Then why didn't you listen to me?"
"Aren't you afraid that you'll worry, auntie?"
"If you hide it from me, I won't worry?!"
Jiang Yuxiang became even more angry. This brat actually thinks he's right?!
The more she spoke, the more excited and angry she became. She was so angry that her body was shaking and her original elegant temperament was gone. Several times she almost came forward to grab Lin Jiangnian's ears and beat him up.
Lin Jiangnian knew he was in the wrong, so he didn't argue. He simply whispered soothing words. With the help of him and Zhiyuan, Jiang Yuxiang finally calmed down.
"you say!"
However, although she had calmed down, Jiang Yuxiang was still very angry. She stared at him with her beautiful eyes and asked, "Why did you kill the guardian of Mi Tiansi?"
Lin Jiangnian replied: "He deserves to be killed!"
"You have a conflict with him?"
"No."
"Then why would you take such a big risk and kill His Majesty's personal guards?!"
Facing Jiang Yuxiang's aggressive questioning, Lin Jiang sighed: "Aunt, you don't know this Chen Feiyang, he is not a good guy..."
"Chen Feiyang's evil deeds are too numerous to list. He deserves death..."
"What do you think? Should he be killed?"
After listening to Lin Jiangnian's explanation, the anger on Jiang Yuxiang's face dissipated a lot.
When Jiang Yuxiang learned that Chen Feiyang was so evil, especially that he did not even spare children of a few years old, she was shocked and angry.
Such a heartless beast deserves to be killed!
But soon, she remembered something: "Although he deserves to die, it should be handled by the government. Why do you..."
"Government?"
Lin Jiangnian sneered, "This Chen Feiyang is the guardian of the Secret Heaven Division and a favorite of the current Eunuch Chen... Auntie, which official would dare to intervene?"
Jiang Yuxiang fell silent after hearing this.
Indeed, the government dares not to intervene in such matters.
"So, this is why you risked being discovered for treason and killed him?"
Jiang Yuxiang raised her eyes, stared at Lin Jiangnian and asked.
"Of course not."
Lin Jiangnian shook his head slightly: "He must die. If he doesn't die, he will sooner or later become an obstacle for me in the capital..."
Having said that, Lin Jiangnian changed his mind and whispered, "Aunt, you don't have to worry too much. I know what I'm doing... I've already made a foolproof plan to kill him tonight. Nothing will go wrong..."
Jiang Yuxiang raised her eyes and looked at the handsome young man in front of her. He had sharp eyebrows, bright eyes, and sharp features. His face was full of elegance and elegance.
It made her feel very familiar and a little hazy with intimacy!
This is her sister's child!
Jiang Yuxiang didn't speak for a long time.
When she learned about this, she was indeed very angry, very furious. But even more, she was angry that this guy hadn't told her in advance!
Such a big thing, and he actually hid it from her? !
On the other hand, Jiang Yuxiang was also very clear that Jiang Nian must have his reasons for assassinating the guardian of Mi Tiansi tonight.
She couldn't stop it, nor would she try to stop it.
After a while, Jiang Yuxiang sighed softly, her eyes dim as she said, "Forget it, forget it. You've grown up, your wings have hardened, and you no longer take your aunt seriously... Go ahead and do whatever you want."
"What are you talking about, auntie?"
Seeing this, Lin Jiangnian quickly said, "Aunt is always Aunt. How could I not take her seriously? I have always respected her very much and always cared about her..."
"Respect?"
Jiang Yuxiang raised her eyes, not knowing what she was thinking about, a hint of shame and anger appeared in her eyes.
Respect?
How could he have any attitude or intention of respecting her?
And last time...
When Jiang Yuxiang thought about what happened the last two times, she felt a little uncomfortable.
She snorted coldly, "Don't try to trick me with these little girl tricks. I don't believe them. Only a kite would fall for your tricks!"
Zhiyuan, who was standing quietly by, was caught off guard when the melon landed on him. His cold eyes froze for a moment, and when he saw Lin Jiangnian looking at him, he glared at him and looked away.
She, she doesn’t eat either!
Lin Jiangnian withdrew his gaze, looked at his aunt again, and chuckled, "What I said is all from the heart. Every word is true, without a trace of falsehood."
"Oh!"
Jiang Yuxiang snorted coldly. She naturally didn't believe Lin Jiangnian's sweet talk. But she felt quite comfortable hearing these words.
Although I don’t believe it, I’m happy to listen!
Her expression softened considerably, and she looked at Lin Jiangnian again: "Are you okay?"
Lin Jiangnian glanced at Zhiyuan. The stubborn little maid still turned her head away, revealing only a delicate white profile.
An expression that said it had nothing to do with me.
"Don't worry, auntie, no."
Lin Jiangnian shook his head slightly.
Jiang Yuxiang didn't know what she was thinking about, and sighed softly.
"You are the only bloodline of the Lin family. You are your father's only child... From now on, no matter what happens, you must prioritize safety and remember not to act rashly. Do you understand?"
Lin Jiangnian nodded: "I will keep in mind my aunt's teachings. I will be careful in the future."
"Okay."
Jiang Yuxiang sighed softly and waved her hand: "You go back first, I still have something to say to Zhiyuan."
"Then I won't bother my aunt anymore!"
Seeing that his aunt was no longer angry and no longer pursued the matter, Lin Jiangnian breathed a sigh of relief and left the room.
After Lin Jiangnian left, only Jiang Yuxiang and Zhiyuan, who was standing quietly beside her, were left in the room.
"Zhiyuan, come and sit down."
Jiang Yuxiang raised her eyes and looked at Zhiyuan, her tone softening a lot.
Zhiyuan didn't say anything, but walked over obediently and sat down next to Jiang Yuxiang. Jiang Yuxiang took Zhiyuan's hand and held it in her palm, looking at her with a little pity: "Zhiyuan, I'm sorry for putting you in such a difficult position."
Zhiyuan was slightly startled and looked up at her aunt, somewhat confused.
Still, she shook her head.
Jiang Yuxiang seemed to have remembered something, and her eyes looked a little strange. After a while, she sighed deeply and asked, "How did the last incident go?"
Zhiyuan lowered her eyes and naturally knew what her aunt was asking.
After hesitating for a moment, she nodded gently: "Hmm..."
“…”
After Jiang Yuxiang finished listening, she frowned.
"You mean... it's still unclear?"
"This kid, even he himself doesn't know where he came from?!"
"How is this possible?!"
“…”
Jiang Yuxiang muttered to herself, frowning. Zhiyuan sat quietly by the side, looking at her aunt without saying a word.
It was not until a long time later that Jiang Yuxiang sighed deeply.
"It seems that this matter is far more complicated than we thought!"
Even Jiangnian himself was not clear about his identity and origins, which was enough to show that some unspeakable secret must have happened back then.
but……
"Fortunately, at least we can confirm that Jiang Nian's return to Prince Lin's Mansion was an expected accident..."
Jiang Yuxiang breathed a sigh of relief, feeling relieved.
Before, she always suspected that someone was controlling Lin Jiangnian behind the scenes and had ulterior motives towards the Prince Lin's Mansion!
From today's perspective, there may still be ulterior motives, but there should be no one controlling Lin Jiangnian at the moment.
This is already the best result!
"Now that Jiang Nian is back, no matter what the intentions of those people behind this are, we absolutely cannot let them succeed!"
Jiang Yuxiang's eyes were dignified and his expression was serious.
My sister, a child who had been away from home, finally came back. No accidents can happen to her no matter what!
He is not only the only bloodline of the Lin family now, but also the only heir to the Lin Palace in the future.
Jiang Yuxiang has the obligation and responsibility to take good care of Lin Jiangnian for her sister.
"Um."
Zhiyuan didn't say much, just nodded softly.
She didn't say anything, but her aunt's thoughts were also hers.
No one can hurt him...
"However, Jiang Nian was too impulsive today!"
Jiang Yuxiang seemed to have thought of something, and a trace of worry appeared on her face: "He is now the only bloodline of the Lin family. What if something happens to him today?"
Jiang Yuxiang was worried.
In the final analysis, the Lin family is too weak now!
Princess Lin gave birth to twins, but now only Lin Jiangnian is left. If Lin Jiangnian were to encounter another accident, the Lin family would be extinct...
The plan to expand the Lin family and continue its descendants is imminent!
If Lin Jiangnian could get married earlier and have a few children, people wouldn't be so worried.
Logically speaking, Lin Jiangnian has already reached the age to get married and have children, but the engagement between him and the eldest princess has not yet been finalized.
What's more, this guy even said he wanted to break off the engagement with the eldest princess!
In this case, the plan to reproduce and leave descendants for the Lin family will probably have to be delayed for a long time.
I'm afraid I can't rely on the eldest princess for the time being!
Now, the Lin family only has Lin Jiangnian left. If something unexpected happens...
Thinking of this, Jiang Yuxiang felt very worried. When she looked up, she saw Zhiyuan looking at her quietly, with a well-behaved and calm expression.
With a pretty face, clear eyes, and a temperament that is always calm and cool, the little girl she watched grow up has now grown into a graceful young lady.
More importantly, she and Jiang Nian...
Jiang Yuxiang seemed to remember something, and suddenly asked, "Kite?"
"Um?"
Zhiyuan was slightly puzzled and looked at her aunt.
Jiang Yuxiang pondered for a moment, then suddenly took her hand and asked tentatively, "How about you give Jiang Nian a child?"
“…”
“…”
