The black-clad envoy's body twisted strangely, as if in great pain, but he still didn't loosen his hand that was holding the woman hostage.

The man in gray robe glanced to the side and noticed the strange behavior of the man in black, so his sword skills began to slow down.

When Lin Chuan saw the right opportunity, he took a big step forward when the gray-robed man was distracted, forcefully knocked away the samurai sword in his hand, flashed forward, and placed the long sword in his hand on the gray-robed man's neck.

Seeing this, Jiang Siqi strode forward, deflected the black-clad envoy's dagger, and pulled the trembling girl away.

The girl was handed over to the middle-aged woman, who excitedly hugged the girl in her arms.

"You little bitch, you really scared me to death."

Although she was sobbing and speaking words of reproach, her tone was filled with surprise at having lost and regained something.

"mother!"

The girl buried her head in the woman's arms and cried loudly, venting her fear.

Su Lingyue stared at the scene in trance, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised.

It was as if she saw herself and her mother.

If my mother were still alive, I could lie in her arms and act coquettishly.

At this time, Jiang Siqi noticed that the woman who came out from the crowd was about to leave, so he quickly walked up to her and blocked her way.

"Girl, you can't leave until these people wake up."

The strange behavior of the envoy and the people who fell down were probably related to this woman.

If something happened to the envoy after this woman left, and it implicated his father in prison, he would be held responsible for his death.

The woman's round almond-shaped eyes looked at Jiang Siqi unhappily, pushed his arm away and walked out of the crowd, "They are just asleep, they will wake up in a few hours!"

"What's going on with this person?" He grabbed the woman's arm and looked at the envoy in black.

"He, that's itching powder, just go back and use soap beans to clean your body." The woman said in a low voice with her hands on her waist, looking at the black-clothed envoy with a smug look on her face, her eyebrows curved with a smile, "So let me go quickly."

She broke free from Jiang Siqi's big hand and rubbed her sore arm.

"Second cousin, what are you going to do with these people?" Su Lingyue walked up to Jiang Siqi and asked.

"Report to the Crown Prince and Commander Han and send them back to the inn." Jiang Siqi frowned and said in a deep voice: "I only regret that my father is still in prison, otherwise, I will definitely beat them so hard that they can't find their way back."

Su Lingyue turned her head and looked at Jiang Siqi, who had lost his cynicism, and smiled teasingly, "My cousin has grown up. Not bad! Not bad!"

Jiang Siqi also teased back, "Do you particularly admire your cousin now?"

"Stop being so conceited!" Su Lingyue said angrily, looking at the round-faced woman beside her, "This girl has offended the envoy, and his guards are so skilled, we have to protect her well in the next few days."

The round-faced woman at the side looked at Jiang Siqi and Su Lingyue talking, then quietly turned around and tried to slip away.

Jiang Siqi didn't look at her, but he seemed to have eyes behind him. He grabbed her arm and ignored her struggle.

"What's your name?" Jiang Siqi asked.

"Ling Ling." The woman said with a hint of anger: "Let me go!"

"Where is your home? I'll take you back."

"I'm not from Beijing. I just came here to have fun." Ling Ling said and started to pull Jiang Siqi's hand again.

Jiang Siqi ignored her and turned to Su Lingyue and said, "I'll take her back to the palace first and let her go after the envoy leaves."

"That's fine." Su Lingyue nodded.

The woman at the side was unhappy when she heard this. She stopped struggling and accused the two of them, "You guys were just discussing among yourselves. Did you ever ask for my opinion?!"

Jiang Siqi turned his head to look at the gray-robed man controlled by Lin Chuan, and motioned the woman to look over there. "Did you see that gray-robed man? His sword skills are strange, and he is one of the best masters. You haven't even used your tricks yet, and he can kill you in the blink of an eye."

The woman followed Jiang Siqi's gaze and looked at the man in gray robe.

The man had a sinister and fierce look in his eyes, and his strange figure and appearance made him look like a ghost.

She felt a chill in her heart.

Su Lingyue looked at her and liked her very much.

The girl has a round oval face, a pair of round and lively almond-shaped eyes, and slightly rosy cheeks, like a ripe peach.

She had a pair of ponytails tied on both sides of her head with green ribbons, a green short jacket, and a cross-body bag, which made her look playful and cute.

"Miss Ling Ling, my cousin's house is very safe. He has a sister who is about your age. She is very cute and you two will definitely be able to play together." Su Lingyue said with a smile.

Hearing Su Lingyue say this, Ling Ling became interested and asked, "Really?"

Jiang Siqi nodded, "Really? My little sister keeps complaining that she's bored at home. She'll definitely be happy if you go."

Ling Ling lowered her eyes, and her black gemstone-like eyes turned.

She thought to herself that she had no place to live, so it would be nice to have a free place to stay.

If you want to leave, find an opportunity to slip away.

She wanted to leave, and no one could stop her.

"Okay, since you are so sincere, I will stay at your house for a few days."

Su Lingyue watched Lin Chuan pick up the broken jade hairpin from the ground, feeling extremely grateful to him.

If it weren't for him, my cousin would have been in trouble just now.

After returning to the mansion, Su Lingyue went to Jinxiu Pavilion and picked out a top-quality glass-type green jade peony hairpin.

Lin Chuan saw that the hairpin was warm and translucent, without a trace of impurities. He took a step back and did not take it, "Princess, this is too precious!"

Su Lingyue said seriously: "Take it. You threw the hairpin to save your cousin. I can only do this for you."

Caidie agreed with a smile, "Yes, Guard Lin, just accept it. The young lady has nothing else but a lot of jewelry."

Seeing Su Lingyue's sincere face, Lin Chuan did not refuse and took the green jade hairpin.

"Is this your home? I never knew a soldier like you could have such a big home!"

Ling Ling followed Jiang Siqi and walked into the hall. Along the way, she was amazed at the exotic flowers and plants, carved beams and painted buildings in the courtyard.

Jiang Siqi raised his lips in a nice arc, "Not bad, the last thing my family lacks is money."

In the Jiang residence, Jiang's mother and her eldest daughter-in-law were teasing their little grandson in the living room.

There were the sounds of armor rubbing against each other and heavy footsteps coming from the doorway, as well as a woman's voice.

"Isn't this little bastard on duty? Why is he back?" asked Jiang's mother.

"I don't know." The eldest daughter-in-law of the Jiang family agreed.

Mother Jiang looked up curiously and saw elder Jiang Siqi and a girl in green clothes who looked very festive walking into the hall.

"Mother, sister-in-law." Jiang Siqi greeted them.

Mother Jiang stood up holding her fat grandson and looked at Ling Ling. "Is this girl... the daughter-in-law you found for me?"

Jiang Siqi held his forehead.

"Mother, what are you talking about? This girl just helped my son on the street and rescued a pair of siblings from the Japanese envoys. To ensure her safety, Your Majesty let her stay at home until the end of his birthday."

Ling Ling smiled and greeted Jiang's mother and the eldest daughter-in-law of the Jiang family, "Hello, my name is Ling Ling. I live in another city and came to Beijing for a visit."

After Jiang's mother looked at Ling Ling and heard what she said, she felt a little happy.

His eldest daughter-in-law's family was just the daughter of a fifth-rank official in the Hanlin Academy, and he married her because his son liked her.

Due to this unexpected change in the family, my husband was sent to prison and my in-laws were unable to help at all.

It is thanks to Yue'er and His Royal Highness Prince Su that my master is safe and sound in prison.

Therefore, she still had certain expectations for her second daughter-in-law, and she wanted to find a family of similar status to her master.

It’s just right that she’s not my son’s favorite person, so it’s okay for her to stay for a few days.

Mother Jiang smiled and said, "Miss Ling Ling, welcome. I will have someone arrange a place for you to stay."

Jiang Siqi suggested, "Why not let her live next door to Yan'er? This girl has been clamoring to go out lately, and she won't be bored if she has someone to accompany her."

Jiang's mother thought it made sense and asked the nanny to make the arrangements.
