Everyone in the hall was looking at Jia Baoyu and the Seventh Prince in his arms. The two faces, one big and one small, looked as if they were carved from the same mold. It was too incredible.

For a moment, everyone was silent. A strange idea suddenly popped up in everyone's mind, but no one dared to say a word.

Jia Baoyu has been through a lot over the years and is no longer the timid person he was a few years ago. Seeing this, he was startled and said hurriedly, "You are all joking. The Seventh Prince's physique is far beyond my reach. Please don't embarrass me."

Now that the envoys from Qianxiang Kingdom are here, even if the emperor has some suspicions in his heart, he will not show them in front of them.

Therefore, this scene was easily turned over. Jia Baoyu thought that his words had worked. He felt panicked but also a little proud.

His status and position are now incomparable to what they were before. I think the emperor must value him a little bit, otherwise he wouldn't be like this.

After the envoys returned to the post station, Jia Baoyu turned his horse around and headed towards Rongguo Mansion.

I haven't been back for a few years and I don't know how my family is doing.

The people in Rongguo Mansion got the news early, and everyone from top to bottom started to get busy. Even the stone lions at the door were wiped over and over again by the servants.

In Rong Xi Hall, Grandmother Jia was waiting anxiously, but she didn't see Jia Baoyu no matter how long he waited. She was so anxious that she asked someone to go and check for him.

Wang Xifeng consoled him, "Don't worry, Grandfather. Baoyu has made great contributions to the country. The Emperor will certainly praise him when he sees him. He might even be talking to someone right now."

After hearing this, Grandmother Jia felt very comfortable. As long as Jia Baoyu could be valued by the emperor, she would be willing to die immediately.

"That being said, I'm just afraid Baoyu won't be able to handle it. If he says something else, won't the emperor be unhappy?" She sighed slightly. She hadn't seen him for a few years, and she didn't know what Baoyu looked like. She felt a little nervous.

If she were to become insane for a while, the Emperor would be somewhat tolerant for the sake of the Queen of Qianxiang, but it would still be bad. She would be worried if she couldn't see anyone for a while.

Jia Tanchun's thoughts moved, and her heroic eyes were all smiling, "Don't worry, Grandpa, my second brother is smart and clever. Although he is a little mentally ill, he is a very clever person. He has seen a lot in the past few years, so he must be more stable."

After Mrs. Wang passed away, Jia Tanchun had to observe mourning for her stepmother, so the clothes she wore and the accessories on her head became simpler, but that couldn't hide her fierce beauty, which became even more stunning.

Jia Tanchun has always been a clear-headed person. After she gets married, she will be a great help to the Rongguo Mansion. Grandmother Jia likes her more and more. When she heard her say this, she smiled on her face before she felt anything in her heart.

"Good child, of course I know, but I can't help it in my heart..." Grandmother Jia patted her hands, "I'm old, it's inevitable that I think more, please don't laugh at me."

Jia Tanchun's lips curled up slightly, generous and decent, "What are you talking about, old ancestor? You are cautious and careful, we can't even learn that, how could we laugh at you?"

Who in the world doesn't like to hear flattery? Grandmother Jia is no exception and was amused to the point of smiling.

Seeing that the atmosphere was just right, Wang Xifeng started to make jokes to amuse Lady Jia. For a while, there was laughter in Rong Xi Hall, and the maids and servants standing outside also felt relieved.

So many things have happened in the Rongguo Mansion these days that it has been suffocating. Finally, something happy happened and the masters were all happy, so their lives could be better.

As soon as Jia Baoyu entered Ningrong Street, someone came to report to Jia's mother and others. Not long after, the maids and old women heard a series of "Master Bao", followed by a burst of hurried footsteps.

Jia Baoyu is back.

The reunion of relatives always makes people feel a little happy and a little sad. With tears in her eyes, Jia's grandmother went to greet him with the support of Yuanyang.

"Baoyu..."

"Ancestor..."

An old man and a young boy hugged each other and cried, and everyone present covered their faces with tears.

After all, Lady Jia was old, and everyone was afraid that she would hurt herself if she cried for too long, so they tried to coax and persuade her, and finally managed to stop her tears.

Before they could say anything personal, Jia Baoyu's words completely froze the situation.

"Where's your wife? Why can't I see your wife?"

When Mrs. Wang passed away, Grandmother Jia and others were worried that Jia Baoyu would find out about this, so they cried and made a fuss about wanting to come back.

Being in a foreign country with such a sensitive identity, if the Queen of Qianxiang refuses to let him come back and there is unpleasantness, it will be bad.

Even if the queen reluctantly agreed, Jia Baoyu still had to survive in Qianxiang Kingdom. If the queen continued to be a vengeful person, Jia Baoyu's life would be difficult.

After some discussion, Jia Mu and the others decided not to tell him for the time being, but they did not expect that he would come back so unexpectedly.

Jia Baoyu noticed that their faces looked strange and he already had some guesses in his mind, but he did not cry or make a fuss like he did in the past few years at home when something did not go his way. His calmness was really surprising.

Grandmother Jia was very pleased.

The reason for Mrs. Wang's death was said to be illness, and naturally, Grandmother Jia told Jia Baoyu the same.

Not to mention outsiders, even in the mansion, except for Lady Jia, no one else knew the inside story.

"So that's how it is..." After listening to this, Jia Baoyu sat there blankly for a while. Facing the worried eyes of everyone, he just pulled the corners of his mouth reluctantly and said, "It's God's will. It can't be forced by human beings."

Jia Mu and others suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, said some comforting words, and then let the matter go.

Jia Baoyu looked around and suddenly asked, "Why didn't Sister Lin come?"

Grandmother Jia laughed, "You just said you've become more sensible, why are you talking nonsense again? Why is your sister Lin here?"

Lin Daiyu is a member of the Lin family and a princess. How could she be easily worked? Even if she was not arrogant, Grandmother Jia did not dare to summon her and send her away at will.

But Jia Baoyu turned around and asked, "Does Sister Lin know that I came back today?"

Grandmother Jia thought for a moment and said, "She should know. What's the matter?"

"Then why didn't she come to greet me?" Jia Baoyu looked a little unhappy. He had just been praised for being sensible, but in the blink of an eye, he seemed to have returned to his innocent and naive appearance. "We grew up together. Now that I have finally come back, she should come, shouldn't she?"

He acted as if it was a matter of course, and everyone looked at each other in confusion, not knowing what he meant by "growing up together".

Except for the time when the Lin family came to Beijing and Lin Daiyu lived in the mansion for a while, they rarely met after the Lin family moved out. How can they say that they grew up together?

After Jia Baoyu blurted out this sentence, he also felt that something seemed wrong.

Yeah, why did he say that? It doesn't make any sense.

It's so weird.
