Jiang Ning nodded, "That's fine. By the way, do you have any money on you?"

Jiang Ruobai groped for his money bag, yanked it off, and handed it to her, "What do you need the money for?"

"Although Old Man Li is both fat and greedy, Xiaoqian is cute and well-behaved. I won't see him anymore, so I'll leave him some money." Jiang Ning took out a piece of silver and placed it on the table.

Jiang Ruobai: "..."

This child really doesn't know the identities of that grandfather-grandson duo.

If His Majesty is incognito and intends to conceal his identity, he dare not casually reveal it.

"Shall we go back home then?" Jiang Ruobai asked, "If there is anything you want to take with you, I can get someone to carry it."

"Carry? There's nothing much I need to take. May I take Miaomiao?" Jiang Ning pointed at the kitten who was eating fish.

Jiang Ruobai laughed and said: "Of course."

Jiang Ning patiently waited for Miaomiao to finish eating, then washed the bowl clean, saying: "Miaomiao seems to really like this cat bowl, so let's take it along."

With one hand holding the cat and the other holding the cat bowl, the clear-eyed girl looked at Jiang Ruobai, "Uncle, shall we go?"

Jiang Ruobai, whose eyes were fixed on the bowl, came back to his senses when he heard this: "Huh?"

"Aren't we going to your house?"

She wasn't regretting taking her in, was she?

Jiang Ruobai pointed to the room: "Seventh Sister, did you... forget to take something?"

"What?" Jiang Ning seemed clueless, she turned back to look.

Among all the useless items in the room, aside from this cat, what else was worth taking?

Jiang Ruobai hurriedly said, "I think the things in that wicker basket in the room are not bad. They were given to you as a gift...you should take them."

He couldn't dare call him Old Man Li.

When Jiang Ning thought about it, that made sense.

She had been here for two months and was closest to Old Man Li.

Even though the stuff was junk, it was given with kindness.

Leaving it behind wouldn't be nice.

So, she decided to take it along.

Jiang Ruobai quickly called two servants, retrieved a pear wood box, packed the stuff inside, and loaded it onto the carriage. free(w)ebnovel(.)com

Jiang Ning was then assisted by two maids into the carriage, holding the cat and the cat bowl, and they went to the Jiang Family residence in a leisurely manner.

After the carriage left, a figure left the top of the wall, entered the Imperial Palace, knelt before the Emperor, and said, "Your Majesty, Lord Jiang has brought Miss Jiang back."

The Emperor, a chubby man, stood up, pounding his chest and stomping his feet, "Damn Jiang Ruobai, he took the girl away, what am I supposed to eat now?"

"Your Majesty, if you really like her, why not bring Miss Jiang into the palace and let her become Your Highness. Then she can cook for you every day?"

"Nonsense! I'm an old man, what do I need a wife for?" The Emperor glared at him, "Besides, the girl is set to be married to the fifth one!"

"Ah, Prince Yu." The subordinate paused then whispered, "Prince Yu is not attracted to women and is disobedient, would he accept her? Besides, with Miss Jiang's leg... the Prince wouldn't agree."

"Does he still have a choice? Even if the girl is lame, even if she's paralyzed, he still has to marry her!"

"..."

How ruthless His Majesty is towards his own son.

However, Prince Yu isn't an ordinary Prince. He wouldn't easily accept just any woman.

...

The Jiang Family residence.

The old Madam Jiang has two sons, one a scholar and the other a warrior, living side by side.

The old madam stays with her elder son, and Jiang Ruobai is the younger son.

In Chang'an City, the Jiang Family is quite distinguished. However, the public opinions of the eldest and second houses are drastically different.

Jiang Mubai of the eldest house is a commanding general with military power, he disciplines his family strictly. Most of his wives and descendants are well-behaved and learned.

Jiang Ruobai of the second house is a civil servant. Ever since his legitimate daughter disappeared twelve years ago, his legal wife became mentally unstable. Henceforth, the concubines acted wild, completely suppressing the legal wife.
