During the conversation, he kept looking beyond the crowd, but never saw that familiar figure.

Han Feng stood beside Xiao Nan Ye, aware of whom his master was searching for.

But Eldest Miss Jiang never showed up.

After some thought, Han Feng stepped forward and said softly, “Master, it’s almost time.”

“Imperial Brother, I must go now.”

Upon hearing Han Feng’s words, Xiao Nanye bowed to Emperor Qi Ming and then bid a farewell.

Emperor Qi Ming nodded in acknowledgment.

Subsequently, Xiao Nan Ye mounted his horse, looked over the vast army, and loudly commanded, “Move out!”

The huge army of a hundred thousand moved in majestic unison, with Xiao Nanye leading the way.

Holding the reins with one hand, he gently caressed a jade pendant with the other. This very pendant was a gift from Jiang Peihuan the previous night.

Suddenly, an excited voice from Han Feng reached his ears, “Master, it’s Eldest Miss Jiang.”

Hearing the voice, Xiao Nanye subconsciously looked up and saw Jiang Peihuan sitting on the back of the Lie Feng from afar.

Ye Xiao, riding beside Jiang Peihuan. Seeing the army coming from afar, she said softly, “Eldest Miss, His Highness is here.”

With a single glance, Jiang Peihuan recognized Xiao Nanye in the lead.

Dressed in full military regalia, this was her first time seeing Xiao Nanye so attired. This outfit made him appear even more stern.

However, the moment he saw her, the man’s eyes instantly softened.

Quickly, Xiao Nanye rode up to her side.

Jiang Changbai wanted to approach as well, but Han Feng held him back and said, “Young General, have some pity on my master. He’s been desperately waiting to see Eldest Miss Jiang.”

Jiang Changbai just rolled his eyes in response and didn’t advance.

Reaching Jiang Peihuan’s side, Xiao Nanye gazed tenderly at her, “I thought you wouldn’t come.”

“Today, with the emperor and all the officials present, 1 didn’t want to be in the midst of the crowd. So, I arrived here early.”

As they talked, Jiang Peihuan handed over a white porcelain bottle.

As he reached for it, she whispered, “This medicine is my own creation, beneficial for vitality and blood circulation.”

The ingredients for this medicine were acquired from Xiao Junhao.

She knew Xiao Nanye wouldn’t be lacking in ordinary medicine, so she prepared something special for heart circulation.

Securing the bottle carefully, Xiao Nan Ye smiled, “Rest assured, I will return safely. When I do, it will be our wedding.”

“Hmm.”

Hearing the man’s words Jiang Peihuan fell silent.

After a while, she looked up and nodded with a smile.

At that moment, Jiang Changbai approached, “Huan Er?”

“Elder brother.”

“I won’t be home, so I’ll have to trouble you.”

Jiang Changbai felt guilty. As the eldest son, he should be protecting the Jiang family, but it seemed the responsibility always fell on Jiang Peihuan.

Hearing Jiang Changbai’s words and seeing the expression in his eyes, Jiang Peihuan smiled and said,” Elder brother, the children of the Jiang family stand united.”

Looking at Xiao Nan Ye and Jiang Changbai, she added, “I’ll wait for your return in the capital.”

The two men nodded at the young lady on horseback.

A moment later, the army continued to advance.

Only when the army was out of sight did Ye Xiao say, “Eldest Miss, let’s head back.”

“Okay.”

Upon Ye Xiao’s suggestion, Jiang Peihuan nodded and rode directly towards the General’s Mansion.

As they neared the entrance, they saw Yue Er waiting.

Seeing Jiang Peihuan, Yue Er quickly approached, saying, “Eldest Miss, Aunt Mei has instructed to prepare abortion medicine.”

“When?”

“An hour ago.”

Hearing this, Jiang Pei Huan quickly dismounted and rushed towards Fang Garden, instructing, “Inform Grandmother. And also, remember to tell Second Uncle and Second Aunt.”

“Understood, Eldest Miss.”

At that time, Jiang Peihuan directly ran to Jian Mei’s courtyard.

As Jiang Peihuan pushed the door open, she saw Jian Mei taking a bowl of medicine from a maid.

Seeing the medicine, Jian Mei’s eyes showed mixed feelings.

“What are you doing?”

Jian Mei was startled by Jiang Peihuan’s sudden appearance. However, upon seeing her, she sneered, “I feel unwell and am taking medicine. Is that your business?”

“Is that abortion medicine in your hand?”

Without waiting, Jiang Peihuan stepped forward. Seeing this, Jian Mei tried to drink the medicine, but Jiang Peihuan quickly grabbed her wrist and took the bowl away. She sniffed the medicine, confirming it was indeed abortion medicine.

Seeing that her medicine had been snatched away by Jiang Peihuan, Jian Mei’s eyes burned with anger, “Give it back to me!”

“Aunt Mei, the child in your stomach is the blood of the Jiang family. You have no right to decide whether he stays or leaves.”

“What a joke. The child is in my stomach. If I don’t want to give birth to him, who can do anything to me?”

“You wicked woman!”

At this moment, Old Madam Jiang also walked in, holding Nanny Xu’s hand, followed by Jiang Yuan and Zhou Rongfang.

Seeing the scene, Jiang Yuan asked in disbelief, “You’re pregnant?”

Before Jian Mei could reply, Jiang Yuan said coldly, “Why are you trying to abort the child?”

When he heard the maid mention that Jian Mei was pregnant, Jiang Yuan’s heart filled with joy. Among the three branches of the Jiang family, he was the only one without a son. After so many years, Zhou Rongfang hadn’t been pregnant again. He had resigned himself to having only one daughter, Jiang Ruyun.

Now, learning that Jian Mei was pregnant, he was hopeful for a son. But hearing she intended to take abortion medicine made him furious.

Zhou Rongfang’s eyes were filled with complicated emotions.

During this time, Jiang Yuan had not visited Jian Mei. She was ready to forgive him and move on. But now, this happened.

If there was one thing Zhou Rongfang felt guilty about regarding her relationship with Jiang Yuan, it was that she had not given him a son.

Old Madam Jiang looked at Jian Mei with a gloomy expression. “Jian Mei, I don’t care what you think. Since you are already Yuan Er’s wife, the child in your belly is the blood of the Jiang Family. You have no right to abort this child.”

Old Madam Jiang’s words felt like the last straw for Jian Mei. She looked at those before her and said with a dark expression, “The Jiang family values its own flesh and blood so much. Why can’t you cherish the lives of others?” “What do you mean by that?”

Hearing Jian Mei’s words, Old Madam Jiang frowned. Yet, Jian Mei, seeing the expression in her eyes, revealed a mocking smile..
