The dead general was kidnapped by his husband and taken to farm.

Chapter 122 Old Princess

All the things have been loaded onto the carriage, which was rented from the town. It is not like this kind of carriage, but the kind that can hold a lot of cargo, making it very convenient to use for hauling goods.

Fengnian and Fangzi both wanted to go with him, but Jiang Shian thought that someone should stay behind to look after the house.

Fangzi has grown a lot in recent days and is now half a head taller than him. Even when he has a cold face and a hard voice, he can still scare people. All the work in the town requires physical labor, so it is more convenient for Fangzi to follow him.

Aunt Huang was busy in the kitchen, so she needed someone familiar to look after her, so Fengnian stayed.

Strangely, when he arrived in town, Jiang Shian did not see Yingmo, who usually sat behind the table.

Because today is a big market, the entrance is crowded with people and the line is very long.

When the two guys saw that the goods they had been waiting for all morning had finally arrived, they hurried to help move the things.

Jiang Shian looked around in front, and then went to look in the house at the back, but still didn't see the shadowy figure.

He frowned. Yingmo was left behind by Ji Yinghuai to protect him. Logically, he would not suddenly disappear, unless something particularly urgent happened to Ji Yinghuai.

Jiang Shian felt a little uneasy and waited for the waiter to move all the things down.

He asked, "Where is Yingmo?"

"Oh." Fang Li slapped his head and remembered what he had forgotten to tell him. He quickly said, "It seems that he left suddenly because of something. He came to my house to look for me before dawn today and asked me to bring a message to the boss, saying that he would be back in two days and asked you not to worry."

"Yeah." Jiang Shian nodded and waved his hand to let them get back to their own business.

Yingmo is not an ordinary fighter and has good kung fu skills. He left in such a hurry without even saying a word to him. It must be that things on Ji Yinghuai's side were not going well.

The man said he would be back in half a month at most. Now half a month has almost passed. Regardless of the time, I hope that Ji Yinghuai’s problem can be resolved smoothly, Jiang Shian thought to himself.

At this time, Ji Yinghuai was far away in the capital.

The only light in the dim room was the flickering candlelight, through which one could see a row of memorial tablets in the middle of the room.

There was a cushion below. A man in black knelt on the cushion and kowtowed. Looking at the name engraved on the tablet, there was no extra expression on his face. He stood up and lit three incense sticks.

When a person dies, it is like a light going out. No matter how glorious he was, in the end he will only have a dark coffin.

Ji Yinghuai looked at the words on the tablet and thought of the man on the city wall that day who pushed him away and blocked the fatal arrow for him.

All the hatred and resentment from the past seemed to have disappeared with the death of the person. Now, facing it, he felt no ripples in his heart.

"Huai'er, if you're okay, why didn't you come back earlier to see mom? Do you know how sad mom was when she found out you were gone? Your father is gone, and now I can only count on you two brothers. If I hadn't heard Xu'er say you were okay, I..."

The woman who was talking next to her walked out from the shadows. She was wearing a bright yet elegant dress. Under the flickering light of the burning candles, the golden hairpins and dazzling tassels on her head made her look elegant and noble.

As she spoke, she took a few steps forward and tried to hold Ji Yinghuai's hand. It was hard to tell whether her expression was excitement or sadness, or neither.

Ji Yinghuai took a step back and interrupted her before she could finish, "Why did mother come to find me? I am now a dead person. Whether it is to protect mother or the more than 100 people in the mansion, mother should not have planned for me to return to the capital."

He wasn't asking a rhetorical question, he was just stating the fact in a calm tone.

The woman in front of him, no, it should be said "old princess", she paused, and the hand she stretched out froze in mid-air.

The old princess was not an ordinary young lady who stayed at home. The edict from the emperor had already indicated the outcome, whether dead or alive, that was that this son could never appear again. Otherwise, it would be a serious crime of deceiving the emperor. Not to mention Ji Yinghuai's own life, hundreds of people in their house would also have to be buried with him.

But... she is not Ji Yinghuai's only son. The eldest son has no hope now, and she has to find a way out for the youngest son.

Thinking of what her youngest son had told her two days ago, she gritted her teeth and spoke with tears in her tone: "Huai'er, you and your father have paid so much over the years to protect our Daheng. Daheng has a stable and peaceful life today, and you have made an indelible contribution. Now that the court is stable and the border is worry-free, our family cannot decline. You still have a younger brother, and our family can't just be ruined in your hands. I still have to make plans for him."

As she spoke, she observed the expression on Ji Yinghuai's face. The candlelight in the room flickered, and she could only make out the outline of some shadows under Ji Yinghuai's cold eyebrows.

Seeing that Ji Yinghuai showed no resistance, the old princess continued, "I heard that your father left a team of people for you. Can you give them to Axu? You see, it's useless for you to keep them now. Axu has inherited your position and is about to be crowned king. If you have the help of these people..."

"Heh!" Ji Yinghuai sneered, and the coldness in his tone made the old princess stop her words abruptly.

It was really funny. I didn't know what he was expecting. He knew it was a trap, but he still came back alone to see his mother. In the end, he was not happy about finding his mother again, nor did he care about how he had been missing for the past few months. He was only thinking about his brother's plan.

Ji Yinghuai suddenly felt a little pathetic for himself. His father, who had always looked down on him, and his father's beloved Madam Yue, were now his biological mother. All he cared about was his second brother.

He is the only one who is not liked by everyone. His biological mother is afraid of him, his father always looks at him with dissatisfaction, and his second brother, whom he loves like a real brother, wants to kill him and harm him just to take his life.

He laughed to himself for a while, but when he saw the old princess looking at him with horror on her face, he did not dare to meet her gaze and lowered his head.

Look, they were too lazy to even put on a show, never said a word of concern, and were only afraid when facing him. Only when facing Ji Zexu, these people were full of love.
