“After all, the General’s Mansion is now run by the Great General.”

When he finished the last sentence, a faint sneer appeared in Pei Wu’s eyes. On hearing these words, Liu Xiu was full of struggle and hesitation.

“You know who the head of the General’s Mansion is, yet you dare to act so arrogantly here? Get out!”

Suddenly, a cold voice came from the entrance of the Elegant Garden. Seeing Jiang Peihuan appear, Liu Xiu breathed a sigh of relief, while Liu Xin had red-rimmed eyes.

Jiang Peihuan walked up to Liu Xiu, bowed to her, and then turned to Liu Xin, saying, “Don’t be afraid, no one can take you away from the General’s Mansion.”

“Eldest Miss, taking Miss Liu into the residence was the prince’s command…”

Upon hearing Jiang Peihuan’s words, Pei Wu looked somewhat displeased. He was about to retort, but before he could finish his words, he felt a cold gust of wind rushing towards him.

It turned out that Jiang Peihuan had already pulled out the long whip at her waist, and lashed out at Pei Wu who dodged instinctively.

Jiang Peihuan didn’t stop. She advanced.

In her previous life, Xiao Junhao was the one who caused the destruction of the Jiang family, but the man before her was an accomplice.

New and old grudges combined, Jiang Peihuan couldn’t kill Pei Wu, but it was alright to teach him a lesson.

Thinking of the past, Jiang Peihuan’s movements became even more fierce.

Although Pei Wu was agile, this was after all the General’s Mansion. Therefore, he didn’t dare to do anything to Jiang Peihuan and could only try his best to dodge. As a result, he was already hit by the whip several times.

Jiang Peihuan was relentless. In an instant, several bloody marks appeared on Pei Wu’s body. Seeing that Jiang Peihuan had no intention of stopping, he pulled out his long sword, fury in his eyes.

“You dog servant! In the presence of this king, you dare to lay a hand on my fiancee who has not yet passed the door! Are you tired of living?”

“Han Feng, cut off his head for me.”

Xiao Nanye had arrived earlier, but he did not say a word while Jiang Peihuan was teaching Pei Wu a lesson. As soon as he saw Pei Wu draw his long sword, he immediately turned to Han Feng at his side.

Upon hearing his master’s command, Han Feng stepped forward immediately.

Although both were shadow guards, Pei Wu was no match for Han Feng.

“Han Feng, don’t kill him.”

When Jiang Peihuan saw Han Feng’s dagger stabbing towards Pei Wu’s neck, she shouted in a low voice.

Upon hearing Jiang Peihuan’s voice, Han Feng immediately stopped his action. However, he kicked Pei Wu to the ground. When Pei Wu fell, he vomited blood, and his face turned pale instantly.

Jiang Peihuan stepped forward, looked down at Pei Wu on the ground, and said coldly, “Go back and tell your master to give up this idea, or he will face bigger trouble.”

Pei Wu stared at Jiang Peihuan with gloomy eyes. Seeing Xiao Nanye standing aside, he dared not say a word.

Once Jiang Peihuan had finished speaking, Xiao Nanye turned to Han Feng and said, “Throw him out.”

“Yes, Master.”

Han Feng went forward, grabbed Pei Wu by the collar, and dragged him away.

Seeing that only women were left, Xiao Nanye came to Jiang Peihuan and spoke softly, “I’m leaving first.”

“Mm.”

Seeing Jiang Peihuan nod, the man left directly.

“Huan Er, thank you so much for today.”

After Xiao Nanye left, Liu Xiu quickly turned to Jiang Peihuan.

Upon hearing her words, Jiang Peihuan replied softly, “Third Aunt, I’ve told you many times, we’re family, don’t be so polite.”

“Miss Jiang, thank you so much for today.”

“But this matter started because of me, so 1 plan to go home.”

“If you go home now, you will certainly be taken away by the people of the Qing prince’s Mansion.”

“But if i stay in General Mansion, 1 will bring trouble to General Mansion.”

Most importantly, Liu Xin didn’t want to make things difficult for Liu Xiu.

Although Liu Xiu never said anything, Liu Xin knew very well that her aunt’s marriage into the Jiang family was a case of social climbing. She didn’t want to cause trouble for Liu Xiu because of her own affairs.

“Xin Er, 1 understand what you’re thinking, but going home is not the solution. We need to find a solution as soon as possible.”

“Madam, Young Master Liu has come.”

As soon as Jiang Peihuan’s words fell, she saw Jing Er walking towards them, followed by Liu Hao.

Liu Hao’s eyes were filled with anxiety. Only when he saw Liu Xin still standing there safe and sound, did he breathe a sigh of relief.

After talcing a deep breath, he stepped forward and greeted, “Auntie, Eldess Miss.”

“Hao Er, are you here because the Prince Qing’s mansion wants to take Xin Er in?”

“Correct.”

Upon hearing Liu Xiu’s words, Liu Hao nodded.

Looking at Liu Xiu, Liu Hao directly asked, “Auntie, could Xin Er stay with you for a few days?”

“Of course. Xin Er can stay in my garden until this issue is resolved.”

“But what about the old madam Jiang and the great general?”

Liu Hao was well aware of Liu Xiu’s situation at the General’s Mansion. Seeing Liu Xiu’s ready agreement, his eyes showed some worry.

“Cousin Liu, rest assured. 1 will talk to my father and grandmother about this.”

Before Liu Xiu could respond, Jiang Peihuan spoke softly.

Upon hearing Jiang Peihuan’s words, Liu Hao, full of gratitude, stepped forward and bowed solemnly to Jiang Peihuan. “Thank you, Eldest Miss, on behalf of Liu Hao. In the future, if the Eldest Miss needs anything from the Liu family, I will not hesitate to help.”

“I do have a favor to ask, Cousin Liu.”

“Please speak, Eldest Miss.”

There was a hint of surprise in Liu Hao’s eyes, but being an experienced businessman, his expression quickly returned to normal.

Looking at Jiang Peihuan, he respectfully said,

“I heard the Liu family’s ships can sail overseas, is it true?”

“Yes, indeed, we do have routes to overseas.”

“In a few days, it’s the Emperor’s 50th birthday. As the royal family’s merchant, 1 assume the Liu family will present birthday gifts in the palace?”

“Yes, I personally deliver the gifts every year.”

Liu Hao did not know what Jiang Peihuan’s intentions were, but he answered seriously. Upon hearing this, Jiang Peihuan’s eyes sparkled with a hint of a smile, “In the next few days, I hope Cousin Liu can prepare some special items, ones that are eye-catching but do not carry good implications.”

“Try to send them to the Prince Qing’s mansion, I believe this should not be difficult for Cousin Liu, right?”

If Liu Hao didn’t understand Jiang Peihuan’s meaning before, now he understood perfectly. Looking at Jiang Peihuan, his eyes lit up, filled with excitement, “1 understand your meaning, Eldest Miss.”

“Don’t worry, Eldest Miss. I will take care of this personally and make sure you are satisfied.”

“Thank you, Cousin Liu.”

Knowing Liu Hao was smart, Jiang Peihuan smiled and spoke softly..
