After rebirth and marriage, the sick prince is fine again

Standing in front of the door, Su Jinhua took a deep breath and knocked on the door.

"uncle."

The next second, Ji Haichao opened the door and saw Su Jinhua outside, and his eyes instantly turned red.

"Jinhua."

"uncle."

Su Jinhua's voice was also a little choked, and Ji Haichao turned sideways to let Su Jinhua in.

"The condolences in the letter are just a token of my feelings. I still need to see you in person and see that you are doing well before I can let go of my worries."

Ji Ruhai looked at Su Jinhua and saw that she had a rosy complexion and had not lost weight, so he nodded with satisfaction.

"Don't worry, uncle. I'm living well in the Marquis' Mansion, and the Princess treats me very well."

Ji Haichao nodded at first, but soon sighed, remembering that Gu Yanan was on the front line and could not come back after all.

When a woman gets married, her husband cannot come back often and is in danger all the time. Not only can she get pregnant, but even staying together all year round is a luxury.

"Jinhua, I have wronged you."

Su Jinhua smiled softly and said in a gentle voice: "Uncle, that's not true. The Marquis's Mansion has power and influence, and we don't have to worry about food and drink. It's already very good."

"As long as you feel happy and successful, it's a pity that you have to be single."

Su Jinhua nodded: "No, my husband will return triumphantly one day. It's not like we will never see each other again. Don't worry, uncle. I won't let myself down."

"Okay, you are a sensible child. I believe you."

Su Jinhua glanced sideways at Banxia who was standing behind him.

Banxia understood and took out the gifts and cakes she had prepared.

"Well, it's good enough that the person is here, there's no need to prepare such expensive gifts!"

"Uncle, these are all things from the storehouse of the Marquis' Mansion. They are not very valuable. I was unable to see you on Laba Festival. Consider this as my apology."

After hearing what Su Jinhua said, Ji Haichao accepted the gift.

"Does the Princess know about this?"

Su Jinhua was stunned for a moment, but quickly realized that her uncle was worried that she would be punished by the princess for preparing these gifts without permission.

"I have informed the princess before I left. I am in charge of all the affairs of the Marquis' Mansion now. It's no problem to just prepare some gifts."

Ji Ruhai nodded, and his heart finally settled down.

There was heavy snow falling outside the window, and I felt comfortable in the box, leaning against the warm stove.

"Jinhua, it was you who proposed Su Yuandong's position to the princess?"

Su Jinhua paused while drinking tea, "Yes, what's wrong, uncle? Is there anything wrong?"

"Su Yuandong is not an honest person. Transferring him to this position is..."

Ji Haichao hesitated to speak. After all, Su Yuandong was Jinhua's father. If he spoke frankly about this matter, wouldn't it be like instigation?

"But since this matter has been settled, just pretend I never asked this."

"Uncle, I know what you are worried about. I have already considered this matter. Since I can put him in that position, I naturally know his actions."

"It's fine if he's honest, but if he really does something out of line, I can naturally check and control him if I have evidence against him."

Ji Haichao saw his niece's calm expression, understood what was going on, and chuckled, "Okay."

The two reminisced about the past. Ji Ruhai took a sip of tea and wanted to say something, but when he opened his mouth, he didn't know how to say it.

"Uncle, do you want to talk about mother?"

Ji Haichao was stunned, and when he looked up, he saw Su Jinhua's expression was solemn, and his eyes were as cold as a deep divine pool.

Her eyes were completely different from her sister's gentle and clear ones, but the somewhat similar face made him think of her.

"Yes, I have always felt that there was something fishy about your mother's death, and I am not in Kyoto, so I am really out of reach."

Ji Ruhai said this with a look of guilt in his eyes. This matter has been a knot in his heart from the beginning to the end.

If he could come back at that time, his sister would not die. Even if they had to divorce, he was willing to go against everyone's opinion and help his sister leave the Su Mansion.

"Uncle, I also find mother's death very strange. I will investigate the matter, don't worry."

Ji Ruhai breathed a sigh of relief and nodded, looking at her with loving eyes.

"Okay, uncle believes you."

"Uncle, what are your plans for the future?"

Her grandparents had passed away, there was no one at her uncle's house, and her uncle did not hold an official position. In this world, her uncle was her only relative.

If his uncle wanted to do something, Su Jinhua would naturally help.

"I still have some shops to run. As long as I can gain a foothold in the capital, I will probably not leave. You cannot be alone in the capital without someone you can trust. I want to stay here to help you."

Su Jinhua's eyes were slightly moist, and he smiled and said, "Thank you, uncle. You have always been thinking about me. Jinhua is ashamed."

Ji Haichao said with a look of dismay, "We are a family, don't say such polite words. I am your uncle and you are my niece. If I don't help you, who else will I help?"

Su Jinhua wiped her tears and nodded.

Ji Haichao took out a pair of hairpins from his sleeves.

"These belong to your mother. I found this pair of hairpins when I was re-cleaning her room a few days ago."

"Thank you, uncle. I will keep it well."

The two talked for a while. It was getting late, and Ji Haichao didn't want to delay Su Jinhua's return home, so he prepared to say goodbye.

"Jinhua, if you need anything, just tell your uncle."

"I know. I naturally trust my uncle." Su Jinhua paused and then said, "During the New Year, can my uncle come to the Marquis' Mansion for a gathering?"

"This is not good."

"The Princess will understand me and agree."

"Well, if the princess agrees, I will go. I won't stay long. I will accompany you for a while and then go back. If the princess disagrees, you must not complain."

"I know uncle."

It was snowing heavily outside again, fluttering down from the sky like goose feathers, as if it would never stop.

Banxia handed over the umbrella at the right time, Ji Haichao took it, smiled and waved his hand, saying: "Okay, it's getting dark, let's go back!"

After saying goodbye, Su Jinhua also got on the carriage back home.

Passing by a dilapidated alley, a figure stumbled out, with blood on his body.

The man rushed forward and crashed into the carriage with a dull thud.

Banxia screamed and the driver hurriedly tightened the reins, but it was too late. The man fell on the snow with blood under his body.

"No, it's bad, someone's been killed!" the driver shouted in panic.

Banxia was so frightened that her face turned pale, and she quickly got out of the car to check the situation.

Su Jinhua also wanted to get off the car, but was stopped by Banxia.

"Don't come down, there's blood all over the ground."

"It doesn't matter."

Su Jinhua got out of the car to check the situation. He saw a woman in coarse linen clothes lying on the snow. She was as thin as a bamboo pole.

Because he was thin, the open collar revealed his bony chest. He was wearing so little in such a cold weather that his skin was already red from the cold.

Now he was lying on the snow with a pale face and blood under him.

Su Jinhua squatted down and covered her with his cloak.
