316 The Arrival of Jiang Xi

“Tell people to settle the funeral. There’s no need to inform outsiders.” Seeing that his father, Jiang Guoyou, had lost his soul, Jiang Shan could not bear to see it. In the end, he still ordered people to put Yang Fen’s body into the coffin.

“Bury that child as well.” Jiang Guoyou’s face was expressionless, but his eyes could not hide the grief. Yang Fen had men outside and was killed by her own son. He did not know whether he should be sad or angry.

“You unfilial son! You unfilial son!” Jiang Guoyou went up and kicked Jiang Si a few times, forcing him to take a few steps back.

“Master, Young Master, the two Young Masters are about to die, can you call a doctor? Madam did not allow this servant to call for a doctor, but they can not hold on any longer.” The maidservant ran out crying with the two children in her arms.

Jiang Guoyou closed his eyes. Yang Fen had done so much for Jiang Si, but in the end, she had died a tragic death. Was it worth it?

“Take the empress’ medallion and invite the imperial physician.” Jiang Shan’s face darkened. He handed Jiang Xi’s card to the maidservant and asked her to invite the Imperial physician over.

“Don’t tell Jiang Xi about your mother’s burial. Don’t dirty her eyes.” Jiang Guoyou seemed to have aged a lot all of a sudden. Jiang Xi was the empress and could not have such a dirty adoptive mother.

Jiang Shan hesitated for a moment. He was afraid that his sister had already known about it.

In the palace, Jiang Xi’s abdomen bulged slightly. She looked calm and sighed the moment she lowered her eyes. “Send a message to the new emperor of the Northern Border. I’m going to the West. Tell the emperor to take good care of our country.”

The eunuch was stunned for a moment. The new ruler of the Northern Border had ascended the throne yesterday, and the new emperor’s surname was Fang.

The Jiang family quickly held the funeral, but the door was closed and no one was allowed to offer their condolences. It was very simple. The few people of the Jiang family were dressed in white, wearing mourning clothes. Jiang Guoyou was dressed in casual clothes. No one said anything. As a man, Jiang Guoyou was pitiful and hurt his self-esteem. If he did not want to wear white clothes, then so be it. He had never said a harsh word to Yang Fen in his life, but in the end, he had ended up like this.

Even though the crowd had the intention to hide it from Jiang Xi, but Jiang Xi still changed into a plain dress and went to the Jiang residence. Jiang Si kneeled beside the brazier with an indifferent expression. He had not said a word since Yang Fen’s death. Zhao Yingying followed Jiang Xi and sighed as she looked at the gate of the Jiang residence This was the place where she had been locked up to death in her previous life. The high-spirited Jiang Si in her memory was now dispirited and filled with a bit of ruthlessness. What surprised her was that the person in charge of the Jiang residence was Jiang Shan. Moreover, Jiang Shan’s simple and honest face was clear. When he saw Zhao Yingying looking over, he was slightly startled, but then the corners of his mouth curled up and he nodded.

“You didn’t have to come over. It’s not something to be proud of. Jiang Shan sighed and handed some paper money to Jiang Xi. “When I lit a fire to burn the paper money today, the fire didn’t even work.”

“She can’t die in peace. She died in the hands of her own son, her most beloved son. It would be strange if she could die in peace.” Jiang Er sneered. They had given in to Jiang Si for so many years, but in the end, they had nothing to gain?

Jiang Xi’s face was expressionless as he threw the paper money into the brazier. The dying flame burst into flames the moment she threw the paper money into the brazier, burning Jiang SI’s eyebrows.

“Second brother, don’t say so much.” Jiang Shan frowned.

“Don’t bury her in the Jiang family’s ancestral grave. Send her back to the Yang family. Yang Shaoqun has been relying on her for a living, right? Then send her back and fulfill her wishes all these years. Otherwise, she’ll still be thinking about her family even after she dies.” Jiang Guoyou’s face had aged a lot, and his eyes were cloudy. He glanced at Jiang Si and quickly looked away. Yang Fen had high hopes for Jiang Si, and so did he. It was just that he was not as biased as yang Fen.

“I’m going to the west tomorrow. You and my father will be the governors of the country. Dozens of old officials in the court will assist you. You don’t have to worry.” Jiang Shan’s legs turned to jelly when he heard Jiang Xi’s words. “No, sister, I just regained my intelligence. You…” He widened his eyes. Why did he suddenly feel that it was better to be as silly as before?

“Don’t panic. I’ve left a message for the new ruler of the Northern Border. If you’re in trouble, she’ll come to help you even if she doesn’t care about her life,” Jiang Xi said affirmatively, which stunned Jiang Shan.

“So, why did the newly-ascended ruler of the Northern Border help me? What did you do to her?” Jiang Shan could not believe it.
