Jiang Ning picked up Lingzi, kissing her soft cheeks and comforting her.

After Lingzi quieted down, she held Wenzan.

Although they stopped crying, the two children were still restless, unable to be put down, or else they would fuss.

Fortunately, there were many servants and wet nurses in the room, so they took turns holding them, not feeling too tired.

Jiang Ning returned to the room, let Chunlai prepare paper and pen, and continued to write the recipes. She had already written a small stack, all in preparation for opening a restaurant.

Usually, as long as she started writing recipes, she would become very calm.

But today, she just couldn’t settle down.

She would become distracted after writing a few characters.

Jiang Yi didn’t return until noon.

He came straight to Jiang Ning and said that the Prince of Yu had woken up, but had been choked by smoke and burned his arm; he would need some time to recover.

!!..

“Did they find out anything?” Jiang Ning asked.

“No. The emperor has issued several fires. The Imperial Guards guarding the Hall of Virtue have all been imprisoned and interrogated, and have been tortured all morning, but nothing has been found out.” Jiang Yi laughed, “Fortunately, the Prince of Yu is not seriously injured.”

“Where is the Prince of Yu?”

“He has been sent back to his palace to rest. With such a condition, the three-month confinement is over, and there is no penalty. His hands can’t write or copy scriptures either.”

Jiang Ning nodded.

Jiang Yi continued, “Father asked me to prepare some things to send to the Prince of Yu’s palace. Do you have anything you want to bring or say to the Prince of Yu?”

“No,” Jiang Ning said coldly.

Jiang Yi was taken aback, then laughed, “Although you two have divorced, it was an amicable parting, but now you seem like enemies.”

He understood his sister’s situation.

If they were truly happy together, she wouldn’t have chosen to divorce.

It wasn’t appropriate for others to speculate about what had happened between them.

But he felt that deep down, Seventh Sister still cared about the Prince of Yu.

He rushed to share the news upon arriving, clearly noticing the concern in her eyes.

Jiang Yi didn’t expose her concerns, just stood up and said he would take care of the preparations and left.

Jiang Ning picked up her teacup, took a sip of tea, and continued to write her recipes.

After the new year, the weather gradually warmed up.

Jiang Yi would come to Jiang Ning every day to report on the Prince of Yu’s condition.

He didn’t care if Jiang Ning wanted to listen or not, he just said his piece and left.

Jiang Ning initially showed impatience, but later got used to it, doing her own thing and letting him say whatever he wanted.

The Prince of Yu was getting better day by day.

But one day, Jiang Yi did not come to report on the Prince of Yu’s condition.

He usually came in the early evening, but today it was already dark, and he still hadn’t shown up.

Not only him, but Jiang Ruobai also didn’t return.

Even Lin Zizi was somewhat uneasy, staying with her daughter while sending the housekeeper to inquire about the situation.

As a result, the housekeeper didn’t return either.

The atmosphere suddenly became tense.

Nobody knew what had happened.

At the same time, a large number of guards suddenly appeared in Chang’an City, cordoning off the residences of major officials and nobles.

The Master of the Jiang family was far away in the northwest, and only the Lady and First Brother were left to manage the household. Since First Brother was still young and panicky in this situation, he took his mother and siblings to hide in the second residence of the Jiang family.

“Has Second Master not returned yet? What’s going on?” The Lady was frantic.

The siblings in the room all had solemn expressions.

With her red-rimmed eyes, Jiang Yan, the most timid and frightened, leaned against Aunt Bai, sobbing softly.

Among the women and children in the room, only Lin Zizi and Jiang Ning could make decisions.

Lin Zizi said, “We don’t know what’s happening outside, so for now, we can only guard our home and hope nothing goes wrong..”
