Jiang Youzhi didn’t expect Lady Wu to arrive so quickly.
He invited Lady Wu into the main hall, and she relayed Zhang Zhuangtou’s words to him, "I originally wanted to find out who was behind the nanny, but now it seems we have no evidence at all."
"I do have soone in mind, just no proof."
"But this matter isn’t urgent; we can talk about it later."
She now felt that nothing was more important than reuniting with her son.
The mother and son talked for a while, and then Jiang Youzhi headed to Prince Kang’s courtyard.
He bowed to Prince Kang, "I have another matter to ask the Prince for help with."
Prince Kang smiled, "Go ahead."
"Regarding my background, I would appreciate it if the Prince could tell Mr. Du not to inform the Duke of England for the ti being."
Prince Kang raised an eyebrow and smiled, "What, don’t you like your biological father?"
Jiang Youzhi was indeed very unhappy with his biological father.
Since he had a wife, why entangle with other won?
In any case, he found any look at a woman other than Jiao Jiao excessive.
The next day, Prince Kang and his entourage set off back to Xiang City.
Lady Wu originally planned to ride a horse, but since Jiang Youzhi’s leg wasn’t yet fit for riding, she accompanied him in the carriage.
She continuously asked throughout the journey about how her son had grown over the eighteen years without her, and how he was living now.
She was eager to beco involved in her son’s life.
Her son patiently shared a lot with her, and she noticed that he frequently ntioned one na, "Jiao Jiao."
Whenever this na was ntioned, her son’s expression would soften, and even his voice beca gentler.
Lady Wu was a deeply emotional person, otherwise, she wouldn’t have caused such a stir when her husband took a concubine.
Another noblewoman might see it as nothing and even send her own maid to her husband’s bed willingly.
She understood that Jiao Jiao must be the girl her son cherished.
As for Jiao Jiao’s forr status, Lady Wu thought what did that matter?
In any case, as long as it was soone her son liked, she would like them too.
Especially after Jiang Youzhi gave her a bottle of mosquito-repelling flower dew, saying it was handmade by Jiao Jiao, she grew even fonder of this girl called Jiao Jiao.
In mid-September, the group finally returned to Xiang City.
By then, it was late afternoon, and Renxin Hall had no custors; Yun Jiao and Lin Shuo were playing Gobang.
Since Jiang Youzhi left, without his guidance, Yun Jiao was no match for Lin Shuo. Hence, at her strong request, they switched to playing Gobang.
While playing, Lin Shuo suddenly looked outside and then said sowhat incredulously, "Lady Wu?"
Yun Jiao followed his gaze and turned around, only to see a man—oh no, a woman standing in the hall.
A woman in n’s clothing with arched eyebrows and bright eyes, exuding heroic spirit.
She was suddenly reminded of Sister Qingxia’s Dongfang Bubai!
Judging by her age, the woman seed to be in her thirties, which was often the best and most charming age for a woman, and her every move was calm and unrestrained, with a unique carefree charm.
This was the first ti Yun Jiao had encountered such a striking person, so much so that she almost overlooked Jiang Youzhi standing next to the woman.
Lin Shuo stood up nervously and quickly walked over, bowing and greeting, "Lady Wu."
Seeing Lady Wu reminded him of those days of rigorous training, and his whole body ached at the mory.
Ah Hu, who had also been in the Forbidden Army with Lin Shuo, had long since stood to one side, bowing his head in greeting.
Lady Wu was equally surprised to see the two of them.
She had heard about what happened to Lin Shuo’s family and didn’t expect him to end up in Xiang City.
