Jih Heng's carriage went directly to the Duke Residence, and upon arrival, Jih Heng, Lu Jiu, and Wen Renyao all alighted. Lin Yao was also taken away by Wen Renyao, whereas Wen Ji and Zhao Ke continued driving the carriage towards the Jiang Residence.
This did indeed relieve Jiang Li, as it would at least make facing Jiang Yuanbai a bit easier.
When the carriage reached the entrance of the Jiang Residence, Jiang Li stepped down. The gatekeeper at first looked somewhat confused, but as he recognized Jiang Li's face, he stuttered in surprise, "Mi-Miss the Second!"
Jiang Li nodded at him with a smile, "Yes, I've returned."
The news of Jiang Li's return spread immediately throughout the Jiang Residence. In Night Wind Hall, Madam Jiang the Elder along with people from the second branch had all gathered. As soon as Lady Lu saw Jiang Li, she took her hand and said, "Jiang Li, you're finally back. These past days, your second aunt has been so worried she couldn't sleep peacefully!"
