Chapter 611: Chapter 13: Return to Dongling City_2

As they spoke, the young girl finished burning the paper money and stood up, raising her head.

That is!!

She couldn’t help but widen her eyes.

The next moment.

She hurriedly chased after.

“Miss, Miss, where are you going??”

The maid behind her saw this scene and hurriedly gathered the things on the ground to catch up.

A moment later.

The young girl leaned against the inner side of the city wall and peeked out her head, but among the crowd, she could no longer find that familiar figure from just now.

At this time, Jiang Ning had already left the city wall.

“Miss, what’s wrong with you?” The maid behind her asked, panting while resting her hands on her hips and leaning against the city wall.

“I saw him!”

“Who?” the maid asked.

“The person who jumped into the river last time.”

“Miss, you must be seeing things, right? Jumping from such a height, could anyone possibly survive?” The maid wore a face full of disbelief, then said: “Miss, you must be mistaken!”

“No!” The young girl shook her head repeatedly: “I couldn’t be mistaken! Besides, didn’t you say before that they fished all day and night downstream and didn’t retrieve his body? That’s a sign he’s still alive.”

“Miss!” The maid held her head, looking troubled.

…

Jiang Ning’s residence.

Knock knock knock——

Jiang Ning knocked on his own front door.

Shortly afterwards.

The door was opened.

“Young Master… Young Master!!” Lv Yi peeked out her head, and her eyes immediately brightened upon seeing Jiang Ning.

“It’s me!” Jiang Ning smiled.

Upon seeing this, Lv Yi quickly pushed the door open.

“Young Master, come in quickly!”

Then, he stepped over the threshold and entered the front courtyard of the residence.

What met his eyes were the well-maintained flower beds and the trickling water.

Fresh water was channeled in from the small stream outside the courtyard, flowing through various parts of the residence.

“Where is everyone? Why is it so quiet?” Jiang Ning asked in surprise.

“Young Master, Lady Liuu said she doesn’t like having too many people in the house, so she refused the servants gifted by Master Bai.”

“Then where is my brother’s family?” Jiang Ning asked.

“Young Master, after lunch, they went to the Liuu family.”

“The Liuu family.” Jiang Ning murmured.

He knew that his brother had long wanted to take his sister-in-law back to visit her parent’s home, which was also a lingering issue for Jiang Li.

Liuu Wanwan, to marry him, broke with the Liuu family, was removed from the Liuu family genealogy, and severed ties with her parents.

After all, who wouldn’t want a marriage blessed by their parents?

This made Jiang Li feel he owed Liuu Wanwan a lot.

And this return to Dongling City, Jiang Ning also knew their main purpose was to visit the Liuu family.

Thinking of this, Jiang Ning felt uneasy.

The Liuu family was a prominent family in Dongling City, who had previously looked down on Jiang Li.

That’s why later events unfolded.

That’s why the decision for Liuu Wanwan to resolutely marry Jiang Li led to the rupture, being removed from the Liuu family genealogy.

This was also the main reason why Liuu Wanwan severed ties with her parents.

Given this factor, it was predictable that Jiang Li and Liuu Wanwan’s visit to the Liuu family would not be smooth.

“Let’s go, let’s take a trip to the Liuu family!” Jiang Ning said.

“Yes, Young Master!” Lv Yi, seeing this, quickly followed Jiang Ning’s steps.

The next moment.

The two stepped over the threshold of the main entrance.

Lv Yi closed the main door behind them and locked it.

After locking the door, she slipped the key into her pocket and jogged to catch up with Jiang Ning’s footsteps.

…

The Liuu family.

“Third Uncle.”

Liuu Wanwan looked at the elderly man with a goatee who appeared at the main entrance and then stood up.

Jiang Li stood up alongside her.

“Third Uncle!” he also called out.

Hearing this voice, the elderly man with the goatee glanced at Jiang Li indifferently, then looked calmly at Liuu Wanwan.

“Wanwan, it’s been a while, hasn’t it?”

“Third Uncle, if you wanted to see us, you could have seen us. If not, why keep us waiting?”

“You say such things!” The old man with the goatee chuckled lightly, “You’re still that same temper as before.”

“Uncle knows well about my character, I speak my mind.” Liuu Wanwan’s expression was indifferent.

“After all these years, you still haven’t changed a bit, young lady!”

“Couldn’t change before, won’t change in the future!” Liuu Wanwan replied.

“True, if you were to change, you would’ve done it long ago!” The old man with the goatee said, then he looked at Little Dumpling and Jiang Yiming standing in front of Jiang Li and Liuu Wanwan.

“This is Yiming, right? He’s grown so tall!” After saying this, he reached out to touch Jiang Yiming.

Seeing this, Jiang Yiming protected his sister and took a small step back.

He then calmly looked at the uncle his mother mentioned.

He had not forgotten what happened the first time he came to the Liuu family.

“This kid!” The old man with the goatee chuckled to ease the awkwardness.

“Yiming, this is your third grandfather, quickly apologize to your third grandfather.” Liuu Wanwan spoke.

She continued, “Uncle, my son is headstrong and holds grudges, please forgive him!”

“He’s simply a spitting image of you, young lady!” The old man with the goatee said.

“Third grandfather, I apologize!” Jiang Yiming said indifferently.

After saying this, he closed his mouth, pressing his thin lips together and stood to the side.

At this moment.

Liuu Wanwan spoke, “Where are my father and mother? Are they unwilling to see me?”

“How could that be!” The old man with the goatee laughed, “Sansheng has already gone to call them back! Just be patient and wait!”

“Alright! I’ll continue to wait then!” Liuu Wanwan said, “My father may not want to acknowledge me as his daughter, but he can’t stop my mother from recognizing me.”

Then, the old man with the goatee glanced at them again.

“Xiao Wan, let Yiming and Yuanyuan go play in the backyard with the other children first! I have something to talk to you about!”

Hearing this, Liuu Wanwan earnestly looked at her uncle, locking eyes for a moment.

Then she slowly nodded.

“Yiming, take Little Dumpling to play in the backyard, remember not to bully them.”

“Yes, mother!” Jiang Yiming replied blandly.

“Young master, please follow me!” The maid waiting outside stepped forward to lead the way.

Jiang Yiming thus held Little Dumpling’s small hand and walked towards the backyard.

This time, they were so polite, was it because of uncle?

Jiang Yiming thought as he walked.

He still remembered his first visit to the Liuu family with his parents when he was young.

That time, they encountered nothing but cold stares.

They didn’t even enter the Liuu family gate, let alone receive the kind of treatment they had today.

At this moment he understood much.

…

On the other side.

At the Water Moon Sword Palace station.

“Senior Sister Xiao, why are you looking for me?” Yu Manyun walked out from the house, in casual clothes, tilting her head to wipe her damp long hair.

“Yu, I came here to advise you on one thing.” Xiao Emei said.

“What is it?” Yu Manyun stopped her actions, holding a towel in her right hand, looking at Xiao Emei.

“Give up that mission! Don’t go against Jiang Ning, he’s not someone you can handle!”

“Not someone I can handle?” Yu Manyun chuckled, “Then is he someone you can handle, Senior Sister?”

Xiao Emei shook her head slowly after hearing this, “I can’t handle him either.”

She couldn’t help but recall that night.

At that moment, she felt she was about to meet her demise,

had it not been for Jiang Ning’s mercy, she would have long perished.

Having experienced the essence of life and death, she truly appreciated the beauty of living.

“Senior Sister, I’m not you!” Yu Manyun smiled, “Don’t raise others’ spirits while diminishing your own!”

She continued, “That Commander Jiang is only Martial Arts Sixth Grade, his strongest direction is just archery! What is there to fear in mere archery?”

“If he obediently follows me back to the Water Moon Sword Palace, I’ll be polite to him, but if he overestimates himself, I won’t hesitate to show him what it means to choose courtesy before force.”

Hearing Yu Manyun’s words, Xiao Emei couldn’t help but smile.

She then said, “I hope you don’t regret it!”

“Senior Sister, I never regret my decisions! Whether it’s this matter or that!” Yu Manyun said resolutely.

Upon hearing this.

Xiao Emei turned and left.

Just a couple of steps away, she stopped again.

“Junior Sister, my words end here, take care of yourself! As far as I know, that Commander Jiang is already in the city.”

Leaving this message, she continued to leave, with a hint of teasing appearing on her lips just where Yu Manyun couldn’t see.

She understood Yu Manyun’s personality very well.

Therefore, she knew that after speaking these words, Yu Manyun would not back down, but rather be more determined to follow through.

And soon, Yu Manyun would find herself in trouble.

Then she could put her mind at ease.
