257: Seventh Grade Spirit Tree

With her own son detained, the mother was naturally very anxious.

Jiang Yan nodded, looking displeased, and finally said to Madam Qian: "Since that is the case, you should go and see for yourself. If you have truly angered them, just offer an apology. I do not believe they would dare not give you Face. Remember to bring Ye Min back as well."

"I have failed to bring one person back time and time again; I have almost lost all my Face!"

"Very well!"

Madam Qian nodded, then rose and left with her people.

Seeing everyone looking at his wife, Jiang Yan hurriedly smiled and said: "Everyone, please excuse this. A small problem has arisen, but it is nothing major; my wife will resolve it shortly."

Hearing this, Huangfu Yunyan breathed a sigh of relief. With Madam Qian going personally this time, there should be no problem.

After all, she was the woman with the highest status in Liang Province.

Her eyes were full of envy.

Beside her, Huangfu Rui was holding a large chicken leg, gnawing on it as he said: "I hope it goes as you all wish!"

Seeing this, Huangfu Yunyan snapped irritably: "Eat, eat, eat, all you know is how to eat! What time do you think it is? How do you still have the mood to eat?"

Huangfu Rui looked helpless: "What else can I do? They haven't come for so long, and I'm hungry. Should I wait to starve to death if I don't eat?"

Huangfu Yunyan was furious, but at the same time, she could not help but swallow her saliva.

She had snuck in disguised as a maid, so she had no right to sit and eat. Watching Huangfu Rui acting like a glutton, Huangfu Yunyan was fuming!

...

On the other side.

Seeing that everyone had finished eating, the steward spoke up: "Master, the seven-ranked plum blossom in your backyard has bloomed. Shall we go and admire it?"

Jiang Qinghe nodded: "Let's go and see."

Madam Bai exclaimed: "Father, are you talking about the legendary seven-ranked plum blossom, whose rarity is comparable to a nine-ranked medicinal herb?"

Jiang Qinghe nodded: "That's right."

"Oh my, we must go see it. When this seven-ranked plum blossom blooms, its petals are snow-white, like falling snow, and it even draws in the surrounding Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, making it dense!"

"Moreover, the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi from these plum blossoms is incredibly pure; it is best to smell it often when preparing for pregnancy. Shuwan, Younger Brother's Wife, let's go see it together!"

Jiang Bing and Madam Bai were very clever and knew that the people Jiang Qinghe truly wanted to invite were Jiang Shuwan and Ye Min.

They immediately extended the invitation, though Jiang Shuwan and Ye Min were preparing to leave.

However, the other party invited them so warmly, and with Feng Ming persuading them, they were convinced.

"Madam, such a precious flower, and it's even suitable for pregnancy preparation; we should naturally go and see it."

Jiang Shuwan received a look from Feng Ming and nodded. Seeing that Jiang Shuwan had agreed, Ye Min did not say anything more.

Just as the group rose and had not walked two steps, a guard suddenly ran in to report.

"Reporting to the Master, the wife of the acting family head has arrived."

"Hmph, another one comes. Steward Jiang, let her kneel as well."

Steward Jiang nodded in agreement and stood in place, while Jiang Qinghe led everyone toward the backyard.

Feng Ming glanced in the direction of the guard, and not seeing Qian Furong's figure, he smiled.

"Shuwan, let me tell you a story..."

After saying this, he began to tell Jiang Shuwan the story of the Calabash Brothers.

After hearing the content of the story, Jiang Shuwan could not help but laugh.

It must be said, this story was truly very fitting for the current behavior of Jiang Yan's family.

Feng Ming smiled.

"If Madam Qian does not return, the next one will be Jiang Yan. This farce is almost over!"

Although this matter had been going on for half a day, Jiang Shuwan still did not understand what was going on.

"Why do they want to ask my mother questions, and what could they possibly want to ask?"

Feng Ming chuckled and ruffled Jiang Shuwan's hair: "You are still too naive. Someone must be stirring up trouble behind the scenes, but that is not important."

"Just based on your immortal grade Ice Body and the fetus you are about to conceive, no one in the Jiang Family would dare to touch you!"

Jiang Shuwan's pretty Face flushed, and she said shyly: "Husband, you are annoying! How can one be 'about to' conceive a pregnancy!"

Feng Ming smiled, leaned close to Jiang Shuwan's ear, and whispered: "It's not hard for you to get pregnant. If we sleep for a while, won't you have it? Do you still remember the one-word song I sang for you?"

Hearing this, Jiang Shuwan's Face turned red instantly. When it came to that one-word song, Jiang Shuwan could not be more embarrassed.

"Husband, you! You are too indecent!"

Jiang Shuwan quickly hid behind Ye Min.

...

At the banquet in Quiet Garden.

Qian Furong looked bewildered as she walked over, led by the guard.

"Whose residence is this?"

The guard just continued to lead the way, and finally, he saw an old man.

"Madam Qian, you should recognize this old servant, right?" Steward Jiang asked.

How could Qian Furong dare to be arrogant anymore? She hurriedly bowed.

"Greetings, Steward Jiang. I do not know if this is..."

Steward Jiang did not have time to listen to her say so much and waved his hand: "Enough! I am only responsible for conveying the Master's words!"

Qian Furong hurriedly bowed: "Qian Furong will strictly obey Father's orders!"

"The Master says, let you and your son kneel together. You are not allowed to leave without orders. Hurry up!"

Qian Furong was stunned: "Steward Jiang, is there some misunderstanding?"

Steward Jiang's voice suddenly turned cold and stern: "What, did I not make myself clear enough?"

Seeing this, Qian Furong's heart sank to the bottom: "I obey Father's orders!"

At this moment, Qian Furong's Face turned unusually pale.

"Mother!" Jiang Huai called out.

Hearing his call, Madam Qian did not answer but raised her hand and slapped him.

"What on earth is that Huangfu Yunyan? Where did you meet her? You are about to get your father killed."

Jiang Huai was dismissive: "But Mother, everything Huangfu Yunyan said is true."

"Slap!"

Qian Furong slapped him again.

"Foolish, you are truly foolish! How can a fool like you deserve to be my son? We are all going to be killed because of you, and you still don't realize it."

Jiang Huai looked aggrieved. He was thinking of the Jiang Family's reputation; how did he harm his father?

What on earth was going on?

He clearly had done nothing wrong.

...

Quiet Garden, in the backyard!

When Feng Ming saw this so-called seven-ranked Spiritual Tree, the plum blossom, he was also stunned.

He considered himself to have nine-ranked Alchemy skills and had seen many good things.

But this seven-ranked plum blossom was truly shocking.

He saw a plum tree in the courtyard with a trunk only six or seven meters high, with lush branches and leaves, and white flowers that were like snowflakes!

A gentle breeze blew, and the falling flowers were scattered, giving one the feeling of being in a fairyland!

More importantly, as the petals drifted down, the surrounding Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi was significantly denser by several times.

And the level of purity far exceeded the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi absorbed during daily cultivation.

Jiang Bing had not lied; the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi around this seven-ranked plum blossom was so pure it was refreshing.

Jiang Shuwan could not help but close her eyes and enjoy it.

"Do you like it?" Feng Ming asked.

Jiang Shuwan was stunned and said: "Of course, who would refuse such pure Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi!"
