Chapter 184: Hot Fire and Oil
Jiang Yutong didn't know when Jiang Yuwen came back. When she woke up early in the morning, she saw Jiang Yuwen sitting there looking a little absent-minded.
Jiang Yutong felt a little distressed. She knew Jiang Yuwen's feelings for his mother. She stepped forward and called softly, "Brother."
Jiang Yuwen then turned around and looked at Jiang Yutong, "Are you up?"
Jiang Yutong nodded. "Why are you sitting here? It's cold, and you don't even put on some clothes."
After saying that, he put a coat that was lying there on him.
Jiang Yuwen took the clothes and said, "I'm not cold. I'm just sitting here thinking about some things. Letting my body cool down will make my mind clearer."
"Then have you thought it through?"
Jiang Yuwen shook his head. "I want to meet her and hear from her in person what exactly happened back then."
Jiang Yutong looked at the lonely Jiang Yuwen. She didn't want to tell him that Zhong Qionglan had come yesterday, but she finally told him.
"She came here yesterday, but you were not there."
Jiang Yuwen stood up in an instant and grabbed Jiang Yutong's hand. "What did she say?"
Jiang Yutong pulled his hand out of Jiang Yuwen's, "Brother, calm down. She didn't say anything, she just said she had her own reasons."
Jiang Yuwen burst out laughing. "I knew Mom wouldn't abandon us. She definitely doesn't want to."
Then he paced back and forth, muttering, "No, I have to go see her."
After saying that, he prepared to go outside.
Jiang Yutong frowned and pulled him back, "Brother, didn't you ask someone to find out yesterday? Why don't you wait a little longer?"
Jiang Yuwen was a little impatient at this moment.
"It's not that easy to get information. I want to ask in person."
Just then, the eunuch who was in charge of announcing the imperial decree came from the palace and brought with him a lot of rewards.
Jiang Yuwen finally came to his senses. Because of Zhong Qionglan's matter, he had completely forgotten what happened in the palace yesterday.
The brother and sister hurriedly received the imperial edict, thanked the emperor for his grace, and looked at the room full of rewards, feeling at a loss as to where to start.
There are rewards not only for Jiang Yuwen, but also for Jiang Yutong. The most important reward is that the emperor gave the Jiang family a house.
In order to change Jiang Yuwen's mood, Jiang Yutong asked curiously, "Brother, where is this house? Why don't we go take a look and see if there's anything that needs repairing. We can arrange for someone to repair it so we can move in sooner."
After this incident, Jiang Yuwen was distracted and put aside the matter of Zhong Qionglan.
The brother and sister asked someone to pack up the things and put them in the warehouse, and then ordered a carriage to go to check on the house.
On the way, Jiang Yuwen thought a lot. He decided that he should keep a low profile at this critical juncture. If the matter with the Xue family became a hot topic, it would not be good for them.
Jiang Yutong lifted the curtain and looked at Jiang Yuwen. Seeing that his complexion looked much better, she felt relieved.
She was afraid that he would act impulsively. Now she always felt that she was adding fuel to the fire and she didn't know when she would be used as a gun.
They soon arrived at the new house, which had a better location than their current house. It was surrounded by some powerful and wealthy people. Although the house didn't look big, it had a good layout.
There is a rockery and a small lake in the middle, which is a nice place.
The house was guarded by someone. After some inquiries, I found out that this was originally the residence of a fourth-rank official in the capital, but he was exiled and the house was taken back and now awarded to Jiang Yuwen.
Jiang Yutong originally wanted to cheer Jiang Yuwen up, so she took him for a walk and explained to him in detail some of the areas that needed to be modified.
Jiang Yuwen also got involved. The house in Yinbai County was originally built by Jiang Yutong, and so was the one he lived in now. Finally, he had a house under his name, and he could also provide a shelter for his sister. It always felt different.
The two discussed in detail how to repair it, and soon it was noon.
"Then I'll arrange for workers to come and repair it, and you can move in soon."
Jiang Yuwen nodded. He knew that Jiang Yutong was professional in this area and that he felt very comfortable living in the house in Yinbai County.
Jiang Yutong thought about it and reminded him, "Brother, you said that the emperor gave us a house and jewels, isn't he praising us too much?"
Jiang Yuwen knew that his sister was intelligent and extraordinary.
He touched Jiang Yutong's head and said, "I know all about these things. Now that we've come to this point, we can only take it one step at a time."
The twists and turns in the middle may just be his guesses, but we still have to be prepared.
Jiang Yutong was glad to see that Jiang Yuwen knew what was going on.
"I trust my brother, so I can focus on arranging the house."
After leaving the house, the carriage passed by the Pluto's Palace. Jiang Yutong curiously lifted the curtain and looked around. It must be said that the Pluto's Palace was worthy of being a prince's palace. The mansion was magnificent. At this moment, the corner door creaked.
A familiar figure walked out.
Jiang Yuwen had already dismounted and saluted Xiao Yifeng.
"Meet the prince."
Xiao Yifeng raised his hand and took a few steps towards the carriage.
Jiang Yutong also got off the carriage and saluted Xiao Yifeng.
"No need to be so polite. Where are you coming from?"
Jiang Yuwen told Xiao Yifeng about the trip to the new house, and he nodded. "That house is nice."
Then he coughed lightly and said to Jiang Yuwen, "I just happened to have something to talk to you about. Why don't we go into the mansion and talk about it."
Jiang Yuwen thought Xiao Yifeng was really busy, and nodded quickly. Just as he was about to tell Jiang Yutong to go back first, Xiao Yifeng said, "It won't be long. Why don't you go in with Yutong? You haven't been to the Pluto Palace yet, so it's a good opportunity to visit."
Jiang Yutong thought about it and agreed.
Xiao Yifeng brought the two of them into the mansion. He followed Jiang Yutong and introduced everything in detail.
Instead, Jiang Yuwen was left behind.
Xiao Yifeng brought the two of them to a pavilion in the garden and stopped, "Let's sit here."
Jiang Yutong discovered that the garden of Pluto's Palace was larger and more exquisitely decorated, with several mandarin ducks swimming on the lake.
Xiao Yifeng asked someone to make tea.
Jiang Yuwen saw that Xiao Yifeng hadn't said what he wanted to talk to him about for a long time, "Prince, what do you want to talk to me about?"
Xiao Yifeng was just making up an excuse. There was no need to look for him for anything. However, the words had already been spoken. Xiao Yifeng said casually, "I just happened to tell you about the Xue family."
