Meeting Jiang Hong’s gaze, Jiang Peihuan briefly explained the arrangements she had made.

Upon hearing these arrangements, Jiang Hong appeared very satisfied. On the other hand, Xue Yan, who had overheard the conversation, couldn’t help but express her concern, “Huan Er, based on what you said, Prince Qing is extremely narrow-minded. If he finds out that you are the one orchestrating this, he will not let you off lightly.”

“Mother, even if we do nothing, he will not let us go.”

“Even though Father has already handed over the military token, as long as our Jiang family remains in Jingdou, we cannot keep ourselves uninvolved.”

Hearing Jiang Peihuan’s words, Xue Yan fell silent. After a moment, she laughed, “I really have grown old. Now, 1 can’t see things as clearly as you, a young girl in her teens.”

“Madam, Deputy General Liu has returned.”

At this moment, Yan Lin’s maid walked in with a smile.

Hearing this, a smile also appeared in Jiang Peihuan’s eyes, “Mother, if you’re not busy today, why not check out the things that grandmother prepared for you.”

“And Cousin Qi, he hasn’t seen you yet.”

“Yan Er, you don’t need to go to the military camp today.”

Before Xue Yan could respond, Jiang Hong had already spoken. Hearing this, Xue Yan nodded.

Then, Jiang Peihuan and her parents went to the main hall.

At this time, Xue Qi also arrived in the main hall. Seeing Jiang Hong and Xue Yan, he hurried forward to greet them, “Nephew greets Aunt and Uncle.”

Seeing the young man bowing to her, Xue Yan’s eyes instantly turned red.

Stepping forward, she helped Xue Qi up and carefully studied his features, “When I left Qingzhou, you were still held in your father arms. In the blink of an eye, Ah Qi, you’ve grown so much.”

“No matter how old 1 gets, in my eyes, Aunt is always beautiful.”

“You, you’re just as sweet-talking as you were when you were a child.”

Xue Yan’s sadness was washed away by Xue Qi’s words.

“Mother, quickly go and take a look at the things that Grandmother has prepared for you. There are many things that you like to eat.”

“Alright, I’ll go take a look.”

Hearing Jiang Peihuan’s words, Xue Yan walked out of the main hall.

All the boxes had been carried in, filling up the large yard.

Most of them were food, but they were all food that Xue Yan liked to eat.

Xue Yan’s eyes were filled with tears when she saw these things.

“Huan Er, send over the things your grandmother prepared for your two aunts.”

“Yes, mother.”

“By the way…”

Seeing Jiang Peihuan’s puzzled expression, Xue Yan continued, “These food from Qingzhou has a unique flavor, prepare some and send it to King Cheng’s mansion.”

Hearing Xue Yan’s words, a hint of doubt flashed through Jiang Peihuan’s eyes, but she still nodded.

Two hour later, Jiang Peihuan, Ye Xiao, and Yue Er boarded a carriage.

King Cheng Mansion was located in the center of Jingdou, occupying a few hundred acres of land.

King Cheng Mansion.

Xiao Nanye was practicing his sword skills. Upon seeing Han Feng rushing towards him, the long sword in his hand pointed directly at Han Feng’s heart.

Startled, Han Feng quickly shouted, “Master, the eldest miss is here.”

“What did you say?”

The man’s long sword flicked, aiming straight at a fallen leaf. He then threw the sword, which embedded itself into a tree trunk.

Just as Han Feng was about to speak again, the man’s figure had already darted towards the mansion entrance.

This was Jiang Peihuan’s first visit to the King Cheng’s Mansion.

She had never been here in her past life, and in this life, it was also her first time.

Surveying the mansion, Jiang Peihuan’s eyes revealed a hint of surprise.

Other mansions were extravagant, but Xiao Nanye’s was not only luxurious but also carried an imposing aura.

At the entrance stood two soldiers. At first glance, one could tell they were battle-hardened, their demeanor stern.

“Huan Er?”

While she was looking around, she saw a figure dressed in white walk out from the main gate.

Xiao Nanye’s forehead was still covered in sweat, wearing his practice outfit. As he stood in front of everyone, Jiang Peihuan stepped forward and bowed, “Greetings, Your Highness King Cheng.”

Before she could kneel down, he quickly grasped her hand, “You don’t need to bow to anyone in my mansion.”

As he spoke, Xiao Nanye already led Jiang Peihuan by the hand into the mansion.

Upon entering, the first thing she saw were two rows of soldiers. As she was about to inquire, she heard all the soldiers simultaneously shout, “Greetings, Queen.”

The sound startled her, and she instinctively turned to the man next to her.

Seeing him smiling, he softly laughed, “After all, you will be my queen in two months. It’s not wrong to call you that now.”

Unnoticed, all the soldiers’ eyes fell on Jiang Peihuan. She noticed their curious stares, which bore no offense, so she did not say anything.

Having spent time in the military, she felt quite at ease with these soldiers.

She thought for a moment and looked at Yue Er.” Give each soldier a share of the food I brought.”

“Yes, Eldest Miss.”

“Huan Er, you brought food?”

“Yes.”

Hearing Xiao Nanye’s words, Jiang Peihuan nodded softly, then said, “My maternal grandmother sent over a lot of food from Qingzhou. My mother asked me to bring some to you. You should try it.”

At this time, the two of them had already walked to a pavilion, and Ye Xiao was bringing up some snacks.

“Thank my mother-in-law for me.”

As he spoke, he picked up a piece of snack.

He carefully finished all the snacks in his hand before looking at Jiang Peihuan, “This snack tastes good, 1 really like it.”

“I’m glad you like it.”

As she spoke, Jiang Peihuan subconsciously surveyed the environment around her. Ultimately, she could only describe it with two words: cold.

Indeed, the entire Cheng’s Mansion was cold. Throughout their walk, she hadn’t seen a single maid or nanny.

Noticing Jiang Peihuan looking around, Xiao Nanye said, “Since you rarely visit, let me show you around.”

“Okay.”

Seeing Jiang Peihuan nodding, Xiao Nanye directly took her hand. Jiang Peihuan struggled slightly but failed to break free, so she went along with him.

A hint of a smile appeared in his eyes as he led her to the backyard.

“Look, this is the horse stable.”

Following the direction he was pointing, Jiang Peihuan immediately saw a few Ferghana Horses.

There were still people riding horses in the stable, all of whom were soldiers.

After walking a bit further, Xiao Nanye spoke softly, “This is the archery range.”

As he spoke, Jiang Peihuan heard a cheer — someone had just hit the bullseye..
