When the two people inside the house heard the noise, they immediately walked out and saw the broken tiles on the floor. Mistress Yun exclaimed in surprise as Mian Niang took a few steps back and looked at the roof.

Song Zhien also came out from his room. He was supposed to memorize the books, but when he heard the commotion outside, his mother told him to come out and take a look.

He asked his sister what was going on. Seeing the broken tiles on the floor, he took the broom and swept it away.

The moonlight was dim, and Mian Niang couldn't see anything. She thought that it was funny, it was just a coincidence, but was closely watched by Gu Xin, no matter how good Jiang Ting was, he wouldn't be able to come often, and there was nothing much going on as well.

Mian Niang pressed her hand against his chest, and tied the jade pendant she had given him with a string.

There was nothing she could do about it. That item seemed to be quite expensive. She didn't dare to put it on hold. It was as if nothing could comfort her more than hanging it on her body.

Song Zhien went back to his room to explain to his mother what had happened.

Seeing the door shut, Mistress Cloud tucked her hands into her sleeves and hugged her shoulders as she said, "Spring comes on the second day of the new year, and it's still so cold."

"You don't often stay outside, so of course you feel cold. I think these two days are much warmer than the last. "

It seemed that ever since Jiang Ting had arrived, the weather had started to get warmer, and it wasn't as cold outside as before.

Mistress Cloud shook her head, "That's all you have to say. It was cold when you left the house this morning." He's not like me, he's been in the house all winter. "

Just as she was about to leave, Mian Niang pulled her back into the house.

"Don't say those words again in the future, you are underestimating Mr. Jiang."

Mistress Cloud was shocked by her seriousness.

Mian Niang held her hands and explained: "Mr. Jiang has really helped our family too much. If we speculate this way, doesn't it mean that they view him as the same as Gu Xin?"

Mistress Cloud understood immediately and nodded lightly, "I was wrong."

Since Jiang Ting had helped the Song Family, no matter how merciless he was to others, Mian Niang still treated him respectfully in his heart.

But she still felt that it was strange, a person who looked so lonely had helped Mian Niang so much, could it really be because of the guilt from the past?

Mian Niang sent her to the main gate, then turned around and returned. She almost cried out when she saw the figure standing in front of her own house.

Fortunately, he was able to react in time to realize that the tile did not fall down for no reason.

Thinking about what Mistress Yun had just said to him before that piece of tile fell, Mian Niang instantly blushed. He didn't know what to say, and he just wanted to find a hole to hide in.

However, Jiang Ting just held onto his sword and quietly stood in front of the window, looking at him. Behind him, Mian Niang could not see his expression, and did not know how he felt after hearing Mistress Yun's words.

Besides, he was standing in the yard.

Mian Niang walked over, and upon hearing the sound of the courtyard's door opening and closing, she softly explained: "Mistress Yun is thinking of another matter, you said the wrong thing, don't mind her."

Jiang Ting looked at her quietly, seeing her caution and guilt clearly.

After a moment of silence, he asked, "Can I see your mother?"

Mian Niang was surprised, but she still nodded her head and said: "Please wait for a moment, I will go inform my mother."

According to etiquette, she should have invited Jiang Ting in immediately, but she was worried that her mother might say something bad to prevent them from going down the stairs.

Fortunately, Jiang Ting didn't say anything. He only nodded and replied with a soft "En".

His expression was gentle. Without that killing intent, his eyes were as bright as the stars.

Mian Niang was surprised and confused for a moment.

was initially reading a book, but upon hearing Jiang Ting's arrival, he immediately put the book down, and ran out of the house without wearing his clothes.

Madame Song Li was also very surprised. She asked in a low voice, "Why does he want to see me?"

She had only heard of this person before. The last time she had thrown away the pen and ink he had given to her youngest son, a pair of children had rarely mentioned this person to her.

Now, someone had come to find her and call on her.

Madame Song Li only felt an indescribable strangeness in her heart.

She didn't want to see this person, but she couldn't really leave him outside the door.

That was not Mian Niang, she could do whatever she wanted with him. Nodding her head, she was just about to ask Mian Niang to call him in, but Song Zhien had already dragged them in.

Hearing the passionate voice of her youngest son by the window, Madame Song Li's expression was somewhat complicated, but she quickly tidied up her clothes and hair.

She glanced at Mian Niang.

Mian Niang understood and walked over to open the door, inviting Jiang Ting in.

Jiang Ting slightly nodded and took a deep breath without leaving a trace. Under Mian Niang's gentle gaze, she walked in.

Seeing Madame Song, she first gave a deep bow.

Madame Song Li quickly stepped aside, "What are you saying? You have done us a great favor, how can we accept your respect?"

"You are an elder, so you should be."

Jiang Ting's expression was serious, making it difficult for Madame Song to say anything.

Now that she had met this person, she thought about what she had said and done before. Mrs Song's expression was awkward, she did not know what to say for a moment, and could only ask Mian Niang to quickly pour some water.

Mian Niang had bought it the last time she went to the county, for a lower price. A teapot plus six teacups, she had only spent half of her money on it.

When she just bought it, Mrs. Song Li even scolded her for spending randomly, but when she found out the price was cheap, she didn't say anything else.

She herself was gradually realizing that in this family, Mian Niang had more and more decisions to make.

With his heart filled with anger, he thought that he would definitely not let Mian Niang make such a decision the next time.

But every time something happened again, when Mian Niang explained the situation, she could only agree helplessly.

There were no good tea leaves at home, so Mian Niang only poured a cup of hot water and came over. She looked at the pavilion apologetically as Song Zhien had already moved a chair over for Jiang Ting to sit on.

Jiang Ting accepted the water and looked down at the water in the cup without saying a word.

Madame Song Li originally wanted to ask him why she had hurried over in the dark.

But Jiang Ting did not say anything, so she asked.

They could only find nothing else to say and inquire about the situation in Jiang Ting's house.

Just as Mian Niang was about to ask her about Jiang Ting, she did not expect Jiang Ting to actually open his mouth.

"My parents, brothers, and sisters are long gone. I'm the only one left at home."

The three members of the Song Family were stunned. Madame Song immediately felt that she should not have asked, and apologized: "I'm sorry, I did not think that it would cause Mr. Jiang to feel bad."

She felt bad, but when she looked at Jiang Ting again, she felt that he was pitiful.

No matter what, she had never thought that he would be left alone.

"Never mind." When others asked, he would not tell them, but when Mian Niang's mother asked, he had to tell them.

"You can call me Little Jiang, no need to be so polite."

His voice was cold and low, making it impossible for anyone to retort.

Especially since Song Li felt that she had just exposed Jiang Ting's sorrow, she could not say anything else. She could only nod and call out "Xiao Jiang".

When this sound travelled into Mian Niang's ears, she felt that it was a little strange.

Jiang Ting finished his water and returned the teacup back to Mian Niang.

He took out a note from his pocket.

"I came today to tell you all some news."

He opened the note, and Song Zhien, who was standing behind him, saw the words on it.

Madame Song Li looked at her youngest son with a strange expression. Before the doubt even surfaced on her face, Jiang Ting had already spoken.

"Song Zhixiao has already stripped himself of his crimes, and is now serving as the military's tenth leader."

He passed the slip of paper to Song Zhien, who was beside him.

Song Zhien finished reciting the words word by word.

Madame Song Li only spoke after a long while, "Is this for real?"

"I won't lie to you, it's just that it's easy to get rid of your crimes there, I'm afraid the official documents won't arrive until after the new year."

Jiang Ting looked at Mian Niang and nodded solemnly.

"This is the personally written letter written by the Yongzhou army commander, Duan Buyan. It's definitely true."

"The general of that section or something?"

"We grew up together."

Jiang Ting's words were shocking, every word he spoke today was like he was going to smash the three Song Family clansmen senseless.

Until they got up and were about to leave, Madame Song and Mian Niang were still in a daze. Only Song Zhien held onto his arm and said: "I knew that Mr. Jiang was truly powerful."

He didn't know what this meant, but he felt that for him to be able to shock his mother and sister like this, such a person must be very powerful, not to mention that he still had a whole set of skills, much less that he found out about it earlier than the officials in the yamen.

Jiang Ting stood in the middle of the room and solemnly bid his farewells to Madame Song: "If it wasn't for this secret letter, I wouldn't have dared to come to see you, and now, with this secret letter in hand, I dare to meet you, but this matter must be kept a secret, in the eyes of others, I am just an hanger-on in the Prince Rong's Mansion, a slightly stronger martial artist."

"I know, we know. Little Jiang, don't worry, I will keep this a secret for sure. The two siblings will also not say anything. In this matter, you are the benefactor of our entire family. "

Even though Madame Song Li didn't have much experience, she faintly understood now that this Little Jiang and Prince Rong's Mansion weren't the same type of people, and they weren't the same type of people as Gu Xin.

Her cheeks streamed with tears, but her tone was resolute as she guaranteed Jiang Ting.

Jiang Ting did not hold back on his merit, "This matter has nothing much to do with me, it is all thanks to Song Zhixiao's hard work to get rid of his sin, if not for his repeated achievements, even if Duan Buyan had intentions, he would not have been able to get rid of him for no reason. Furthermore, Duan Buyan has always been upright and honest, he would not show favouritism just because of our relationship, so sending a secret letter like this after getting rid of his sin is already the result of his favoritism."

What could one rely on in the battlefield to achieve merits? Hearing this, Madame Song's expression instantly changed.

However, he still thanked Jiang Ting profusely: "With this news, we will be able to live a peaceful life."

Seeing that Jiang Ting was about to leave, she immediately had Mian Niang send him off.

Mian Niang responded as she sent Jiang Ting out the door. Seeing that Jiang Ting was about to walk out of habit, Mian Niang called out to him.

Jiang Ting turned around and looked at her, but he quickly came to a realization and walked towards the main door.

Mian Niang sent her to the entrance but Jiang Ting stopped and said to her: "I'm leaving."

Mian Niang nodded, wiped away her tears, and said: "You can openly appear in our home next time, and directly enter through the main entrance."

Jiang Ting saw that she did not understand and explained: "I'm going back to the capital, I'll leave with Gu Xin and the others tomorrow."
