After Accidentally Marrying My Sister-in-law, My 10,000x Cultivation Begins

256: This is clearly a slap in the face.Was this a joke? His father had personally ordered that the person stay, so how could he dare let them go? If his father returned later, he wouldn’t be able to withstand his fury.

Jiang Huai flew into a rage: ”Second Uncle, do you know what you’re saying? Although this is a place to support our uncles, my father is the acting family head. Aside from Grandfather, the entire Jiang Family must follow his orders.”

”Feng Ming and the other two have disgraced the reputation of our Jiang Family. Father wants to confront them. Forget about you, Second Uncle, even if the other uncles come out, they cannot forcibly stop us.”

”Once I tell Father about this, can you bear the responsibility for this crime, Second Uncle?”

Jiang Bing was stunned upon hearing this. Before he could speak, a voice came from the side, ”What a large accusation, and what a grand display of authority your father has. If Jiang Bing can’t bear it, then what about me?”

”Do you think this old man can bear it?”

Jiang Qinghe walked out from the side, accompanied by Steward Jiang.

Jiang Huai was instantly dumbfounded, as if struck by lightning, and his body swayed.

Then, with a thud, he knelt on the ground. ”Grandfather, your grandson wouldn’t dare. Your grandson greets Grandfather.”

”Hmph, from what I see, you’re the grandfather here.”

”Your grandson wouldn’t dare!”

Jiang Huai was on the verge of tears.

Jiang Qinghe said coldly, ”I think you’re very daring. You even dare to reprimand your Second Uncle. The son of the acting family head certainly has a grand air about him.”

”Grandfather, I...”

Jiang Huai wanted to explain further, but Jiang Qinghe cut him off directly.

”Enough! I can’t be bothered to educate you; your father will discipline you himself.”

”But for now, you will kneel right here. You aren’t allowed to go anywhere.”

Although Jiang Huai was reluctant, he didn’t dare disobey Jiang Qinghe’s command, so he walked over to the guards and knelt down.

Meanwhile, Jiang Qinghe walked to the dining table and gestured for the steward to present the gift he had prepared.

The steward immediately handed a brocade box to Jiang Shuwan. ”Shuwan, this is a gift the Old Master specially prepared for you!”

Jiang Shuwan was somewhat dazed. To be honest, in all her years, this was the first time she had received a gift from someone in the Jiang Family.

For a moment, she was at a loss for what to do.

Feng Ming’s eyes lit up, and he signaled for Jiang Shuwan to open it because he had already smelled the scent of a medicinal herb.

”Shuwan, why don’t you open it and see?”

Hearing this, Jiang Shuwan immediately opened it, and a medicinal herb that was pink all over appeared before everyone.

”Is this a Grade Nine... Yunxuan Grass?”

Jiang Bing cried out in surprise. Jiang Shuwan was startled and hurriedly tried to hand the gift box back.

”This is too precious, I cannot accept it. Please... Grandfather, take it back.”

When Jiang Qinghe heard Jiang Shuwan call him Grandfather, he was instantly moved. Such an excellent granddaughter had almost been lost by the Jiang Family, and now she was finally accepting him.

How could a mere medicinal herb compare to the importance of his granddaughter?

”Silly child, this was specially prepared for you by your grandfather. You’ve only been married a short while, and you’ll surely have a little baby later. This herb can improve a child’s Physique, so just accept it as a token of my regard.”

Jiang Shuwan didn’t speak, but Feng Ming stepped forward and took the medicinal herb, putting it away. He then winked at Jiang Shuwan and said, ”Thank you, Grandfather. We are indeed preparing for pregnancy and plan to have a child.”

”Really?”

Hearing Feng Ming say they were actually preparing for pregnancy, Jiang Qinghe was so happy he couldn’t stop smiling.

Even Ye Min looked at Jiang Shuwan in surprise.

Jiang Shuwan’s pretty face turned red. She hurriedly lowered her head and tugged at Feng Ming.

Bringing up this topic made Jiang Shuwan feel quite shy. Besides, when were they preparing for pregnancy?

Feng Ming had never mentioned this before!

The Jiang Bing couple exchanged a look, and Madam Bai spoke up: ”This is a good thing. We were negligent today and didn’t prepare gifts for the two children. I have a newly bought Emerald White Jade Hairpin here; I’ll give it to Younger Brother’s Wife as a congratulatory gift for the mother-daughter reunion.”

”As for the little baby’s gift, we’ll go back and prepare it. It certainly won’t be late when the child is born.”

Jiang Bing nodded repeatedly in agreement. ”Yes, yes.”

There was no other way. Since his father had given such a precious gift, it would be improper if he, as the Second Uncle, didn’t show some courtesy.

Although he didn’t like competing for favor, he still had some social awareness.

Jiang Qinghe looked at this harmonious scene and was very happy. He hurriedly called out, ”Come, come, let’s continue eating!”

Jiang Huai, who was kneeling to the side, looked ashen-faced at this scene. He never imagined that Jiang Shuwan and Feng Ming would get on the good side of his grandfather.

He was extremely anxious. This was a complete disaster. They had Grandfather backing them up, yet his father was completely unaware. They were in for major trouble now.

Jiang Huai was filled with dread. After all, if his father lost his status, what would he be?

On the other side, at the Expedition Banquet.

The banquet continued, but Huangfu Rui and Huangfu Yunyan had no appetite for food or drink.

They thought that since Jiang Huai had gone, he would be back soon. To their surprise, so much time had passed with no news.

They immediately became anxious.

”That useless Jiang Huai, why isn’t he back after all this time?”

Huangfu Yunyan cursed under her breath.

Huangfu Rui subconsciously trembled. Was she joking? Cursing the son of the Family Head in this kind of setting...

It was simply seeking death.

”Watch what you say.”

”What’s there to fear? No one heard. No matter what tricks Feng Ming has, this matter has already blown up. I don’t believe Feng Ming can survive.” Just as Huangfu Yunyan finished speaking, someone at a nearby table asked Jiang Yan a question.

”Brother Jiang, Jiang Huai has been gone for so long, why hasn’t he returned?”

In truth, watching the drama was much more satisfying than the feast. It was just that everyone was afraid of Jiang Yan and didn’t dare speak up. Now that someone had asked, they all put down their chopsticks and wine cups and looked at Jiang Yan.

Jiang Yan and Madam Qian also exchanged a look, clearly finding it strange.

Things were really bizarre today. The people he sent were detained; could it be that his own son had also been detained?

Although those living in the Quiet Garden were all their own elders...

But Jiang Yan was the current acting family head of the Jiang Family. Surely no uncle would be so blind as to even detain Jiang Huai!

The two were just thinking about what to do.

Suddenly, a guard ran over, knelt, and shouted, ”Reporting, Sir! Young Master Jiang Huai has also been detained by the Quiet Garden!”

”What did you say?”

Madam Qian immediately stood up in a panic.

Jiang Yan was also shocked and hurriedly asked, ”Do you know which uncle did it? Was there an explanation given, or any message for you to bring back?”

The guard shook his head. ”No.”

Jiang Yan and Madam Qian looked at each other, completely bewildered. Jiang Huai was their son; his presence represented them. For the other party to detain him while knowing his identity meant this matter was not simple.

”What exactly is going on? Could that uncle have been angered by our disturbance?”

Jiang Yan was utterly confused, mainly because he had no idea what the situation was.

Madam Qian was somewhat angry. ”This is too much. The other party knew Jiang Huai was our son yet still detained him. This is clearly slapping your face.”
