Settling In The Capital
No wonder, after coming down from the mine, he felt that Yimian was completely different from before, changed a lot.
She seemed colder, not as affectionate and playful as before, like a completely different person inside and out.
No wonder Yimian didn’t say much about the family, only vaguely saying that everyone was fine.
He couldn’t imagine, if Yimian hadn’t been there, the few people he cared about most would probably have already died.
He thought that even if the Second Branch and his parents disliked them, they would at least consider their blood ties and the fact that he had worked so hard for the family all these years, and take good care of his wife and children.
Unexpectedly, not only did they not take care of them, but during the famine, they ruthlessly abandoned his wife and children.
Further causing Qingyuan to remain missing to this day, his whereabouts unknown.
Such people are unworthy of being his parents.
It’s his fault; if he hadn’t left the village back then, Fengqin and the others wouldn’t have suffered so much.
The more he thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt, seeing Xiao Nuaner and Xiaoye already being carried to the inner room to sleep by Wang Fengqin.
He then said to Jiang Yimian with red eyes, “Yimian, you’ve suffered so much this past year. It’s Father’s fault. I wasn’t able to protect you when you needed it.
I even had to be saved by you. Father is useless.”
Although he wasn’t clear about the details on the mountain at that time, he also knew that those days must have been difficult.
Especially Fengqin, who was always gentle and carried several children; if they encountered danger, it would have been impossible for them to escape.
If it weren’t for Yimian, he might not even see his wife and children now.
Jiang Yimian was stunned. It was clearly a warm and touching scene, yet Jiang Dazhuang had a large bruise above his left eye, making her laugh.
“Father is fine, you don’t have to blame yourself. Who could have predicted these things? Now, the best thing is that we are reunited as a family.”
Wang Fengqin came out from the inner room and, hearing this, said with red eyes, “Yes, Yimian is right. All those things are over. Now, we can sit together and eat, which is already very good.”
On the way to Pingjiang County, she had actually been very uneasy.
She felt both excited and afraid.
She was excited to know that Jiang Dazhuang was fine, but afraid that something had happened to Jiang Dazhuang and Yimian.
Fortunately, her worries were wrong; Jiang Dazhuang was fine, and her daughter was fine too.
Jiang Yimian also smiled and said, “Yes, Father, you don’t have to blame yourself. Look, your eyes are swollen. If you keep feeling sad, they’ll probably swell for many more days.”
After saying this, Jiang Dazhuang suddenly remembered the big bruise above his eye. He immediately touched his head somewhat embarrassedly, and the sadness and grief in his heart were instantly dispersed.
Wang Fengqin saw the obvious bruise on his face and unconsciously laughed.
When she saw Jiang Dazhuang standing unharmed in the courtyard, she was actually happy and excited, but when she heard his conversation with Zhao Xiaonian, after the excitement, she got angry.
Angry that he had gone through so much and still believed in those things.
Angry that he saw Mianmian but didn’t tell her. In a fit of anger, she couldn’t help but hit him.
But she didn’t control her strength well, and didn’t expect it to be so serious.
Now, looking at that bruise, she couldn’t help but feel heartbroken and regret being so impulsive.
Jiang Dazhuang saw the heartache in Wang Fengqin’s eyes, just chuckled and comforted her, “It’s alright, I’m tough and can’t be broken. Besides, you were right to be angry, you should have hit me.”
He had missed his wife and children for so long and hadn’t been able to protect them; a punch was nothing.
After calming down, Jiang Yimian spoke about her future plans.
Knowing that Jiang Yimian was going to settle in the Capital, Wang Fengqin and the others were not surprised.
They had all heard that Yimian had opened a shop in the Capital, and it was a critical time, so she naturally needed to be there to oversee it.
However, Wang Fengqin was a little worried about the village.
After all, they had been together for so long, and their trip to Pingjiang County was so hurried that they hadn’t properly informed the Liu and Chen families, and she was afraid they would worry.
Jiang Dazhuang also said, “I’m not worried about anything else, but I’m worried about Liu Changsong. I heard that he’s not quite right in the head? I don’t know if he’s better now?”
If it weren’t for Liu Changsong successfully escaping from the mine, Yimian and the others wouldn’t have known about the mine, let alone come to save them.
He still hoped that his childhood friend would be alright.
Jiang Yimian had considered all this. She said seriously, “Don’t worry, I’ll write a letter back. If Xiao Hei wants to go back then, he can take it back.
As for Liu Changsong, I’ll have him taken to Qing Stone Village. With Old Man Liu and the others there, he’ll definitely get better.”
She had encountered many similar cases in the villa, all because of the long-term, highly tense and fearful emotions in the mine, suddenly changing, temporarily forming an adjustment disorder. As long as they live a normal life for a while, they will gradually get better.
In addition, with Old Man Liu and the others in the village, Liu Changsong would naturally relax when he saw familiar people, which is better for his condition.
Seeing that Jiang Yimian had considered everything, Wang Fengqin and the others didn’t say anything else, just smiled and agreed.
Their family had finally reunited, and they naturally wanted to live together.
The next day, Jiang Yimian woke up when it was already bright.
Xiao Qi had prepared hot water early and brought it in, smiling and saying, “Jiang Girl, you haven’t been at the villa for these days, I’ve been a little bored.”
The Young Master had asked her to stay by Jiang Girl’s side and take good care of her, but last time she went to the Capital, she thought she was just delivering goods and would be back soon. Unexpectedly, she waited for five or six days.
Jiang Yimian just smiled and, after washing up, said, “I forgot about you. Next time I go anywhere, I’ll definitely take you with me.”
Xiao Qi just helplessly shook her head, “There might not be a next time. I heard that Old Chen returned to the Ink Pavilion, and I guess I’ll have to go back with Xiao Wu in these few days. I don’t know when I’ll come out next.”
Although she didn’t know what happened in the Pavilion, it must have been something big.
Otherwise, the Pavilion wouldn’t easily send out a message asking them to return.
Jiang Yimian paused and curiously asked, “So urgent? Did Lu Cijian ask you to go back?”
Xiao Qi shook her head, “No, it might be a message from the Pavilion Master. I guess the Young Master probably doesn’t know yet.”
Jiang Yimian frowned, feeling that something was wrong.
She wondered if it had something to do with the Chu Prince she met on the mountain yesterday.
Just as she was about to ask a few more questions, a “rustling” sound of flapping wings suddenly came from the carved window sill.
Jiang Yimian looked towards the window and saw a White-Tailed Eagle, as tall as an arm, staring at the two of them with sharp eyes, seeming somewhat impatient.
The White-Tailed Eagle’s feathers were bright and distinct, its hooked beak was bright yellow, and its eyes were fierce. Especially when it flapped its wings, it looked as if it was about to pounce and bite them at any moment.
