My family has been wielding knives for generations, but now it's my turn to wield a pen!

"You've been hugging me for so long, haven't you had enough yet?"

Jiang Xiaobai looked at Li Zhiwei in his arms with a smile on his face.

Li Zhiwei gently shook her head but didn't say anything, her hands still tightly holding Jiang Xiaobai.

After a while, Li Zhiwei slowly let go and stepped out of Jiang Xiaobai's arms.

You can see that her eyes are noticeably red.

"Why are you crying!"

Jiang Xiaobai's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly pulled the woman back into his arms.

Li Zhiwei pursed her red lips, but her eyes became even redder.

Yes, although Li Bingzhang didn't tell her anything, she still heard some rumors.

Jiang Xiaobai and Jiang Jingcheng did not return home all night, and the person in charge of the Jiang family became the newly returned Third Master Jiang.

In addition, the Court of State Ceremonies was guarded by the Imperial Guards.

With so many things happening at once, even if Li Zhiwei didn't know the specifics of what had happened, she could roughly guess some of the reasons.

Especially early in the morning, rumors were spreading all over the streets of the capital that Jiang Jingxuan had rebelled!

This undoubtedly made her heart leap into her throat.

Now that she saw Jiang Xiaobai return safe and sound, she was finally able to relax completely.

"after……"

Li Zhiwei looked up at Jiang Xiaobai seriously and said in a soft voice, "You mustn't do such dangerous things again!"

"good!"

Jiang Xiaobai nodded emphatically.

He knew that although Li Zhiwei appeared gentle and weak, she was as sharp as a mirror.

Moreover, Jiang Xiaobai could sense that this woman was genuinely worried about him.

Thinking of this, Jiang Xiaobai's heart softened a little. He lowered his head and gently kissed Li Zhiwei's forehead.

Li Zhiwei's body stiffened slightly, then she lowered her head, her ear tips turning red, but she still whispered, "If anything really happens to you, I..."

Before she could finish speaking, Li Zhiwei felt her cheek being pinched.

"That's a lot of talk..."

Jiang Xiaobai pinched the soft cheek beneath the veil: "You can't say that!"

As they were talking, Jiang Xiaobai really wanted to take the opportunity to remove the woman's veil.

However, in the end, Jiang Xiaobai held back.

As he released her hand, Jiang Xiaobai grabbed Li Zhiwei's small hand: "Don't worry, it won't happen again!"

"Um!"

Li Zhiwei responded softly, then let Jiang Xiaobai pull her along.

"Walk!"

Jiang Xiaobai smiled and led Li Zhiwei toward the Prime Minister's residence.

When the two arrived at the lobby, the atmosphere there was somewhat off.

Li Bingzhang and Jiang Jingcheng sat inside drinking tea, but neither of them spoke.

The quiet atmosphere became slightly more lively after the two of them entered.

"hehe!"

Seeing the two so intimate, Li Bingzhang couldn't help but smile and say, "A daughter grows up and leaves home!"

"father!"

Upon hearing this, Li Zhiwei blushed slightly and lowered her head.

Jiang Xiaobai smiled and pulled Li Zhiwei to sit down.

"Little Bai, the Marquis of Zhenbei's mansion has now been upgraded to the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion!"

Li Bingzhang looked at Jiang Xiaobai and said, "Shouldn't we also put the matter of the Ministry of Rites on the agenda?"

"That way, you and Zhiwei can get married as soon as possible!"

Jiang Xiaobai made a perfect move.

The title of the Duke of Zhenguo has been established, and as a result, the military power of the Marquis of Zhenbei will only become more secure.

If Xiao Jinxuan wanted to take action against the Jiang family again, it would only be more difficult than before.

Therefore, even if Jiang Xiaobai came to the Prime Minister's residence under the guise of marrying into the family, he no longer had many concerns.

If things are right in the future and Jiang Xiaobai is willing to return to the Jiang family, he won't say anything.

Because now, all he wants is for the two of them to get married soon.

That way... he can hold his grandson sooner.

"It's my father-in-law!"

Jiang Xiaobai smiled and nodded: "After we see off the delegations from both countries, I'll make some good arrangements at the Ministry of Rites!"

Pei Shen has been secretly investigating the Ministry of Rites, but so far, he still hasn't made much progress.

During this time, he was also preoccupied with the diplomatic missions of both countries, leaving him with very little energy.

Once he has seen off the delegations from both countries, he can then focus all his attention on the Ministry of Rites.

"good!"

Upon hearing this, Li Bingzhang smiled with satisfaction: "Then I'll be waiting!"

Jiang Jingcheng sat beside them, listening to the two begin discussing their wedding. He picked up his teacup, took a sip, and didn't interrupt.

The group then sat in the lobby and chatted.

When the topic turned to Jiang Jingxuan, Jiang Jingcheng's expression turned sour.

Regardless of anything else, Jiang Jingxuan is a member of the Jiang family.

After this incident, he was in a bad mood.

Jiang Xiaobai, on the other hand, remained calm and said, "My uncle is definitely hiding some secret!"

"Moreover, he has connections in Beiyu, and there must be someone in Dahua to help him; otherwise, he absolutely couldn't have done all this on his own!"

At this point, Jiang Xiaobai paused slightly: "We need to find an opportunity to interrogate him properly!"

"Don't worry, I will report to His Majesty at tomorrow's morning court session!"

After hearing this, Li Bingzhang nodded slightly.

Now that Jiang Jingxuan has been captured, he cannot be treated simply as a rebel.

If we continue investigating, we might actually uncover quite a few people hiding in the shadows.

……

Half an hour later.

A servant walked in from outside the main hall.

"master!"

The servant looked at Li Bingzhang and respectfully said, "General Tang and his entourage's carriages have arrived outside the manor!"

"Oh?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Jingcheng immediately stood up: "In that case, we'll take our leave!"

After saying that, Jiang Jingcheng didn't linger and hurriedly walked outside.

Upon seeing this, Li Bingzhang couldn't help but chuckle, then followed behind with Jiang Xiaobai and Li Zhiwei.

When the group arrived at the entrance of the Prime Minister's residence, they saw a carriage parked there.

Tang Kui stood beside the carriage, while Shen Yun and Tang Ningshuang stood not far away.

Seeing the group emerge from the Prime Minister's residence, Shen Yun's eyes immediately reddened, and she quickly stepped forward to greet them.

Jiang Jingcheng walked at the front. When he saw Shen Yun walking towards him, a smile immediately appeared on his face, and he opened his arms as well.

But the next moment, Shen Yun walked right past him and grabbed Jiang Xiaobai behind her.

"noob!"

Shen Yun carefully examined Jiang Xiaobai for a moment, and only after confirming that he was not injured did she breathe a sigh of relief: "It's good that you're alright!"

"I'm relieved to see you're alright!"

"..."

Jiang Jingcheng stood there, his arms still outstretched, his expression clearly showing embarrassment.

Finally, he had no choice but to let go of his hand.

Jiang Xiaobai naturally noticed Jiang Jingcheng's reaction, suppressed a laugh, and looked at Shen Yun, saying, "Mother, I'm fine!"

"It's good that you're alright. Your mother has been worried sick about you, afraid something might have happened to you!"

Hearing this, Tang Kui chuckled and said, "Hehe, my daughter was with me too, she didn't sleep all night!"

"Oh, Dad!"

Upon hearing this, Tang Ningshuang's face turned unnatural, and she gritted her teeth, saying, "Last night, I slept like a log!!!"
