Returning to the mansion and entering the main courtyard, Jiang Zhongxing saw Ruru crawling on the ground and his mood did not improve.
Ruru was originally his source of joy; no matter how big the issue, holding Ruru would resolve it.
But now, Ruru had lost her effect.
Lady Wu exclaimed in surprise, "Why have you returned? Weren't you guarding the city?"
"I was just about to send some clothes over to you."
Jiang Zhongxing let out a sigh, "No need, I've been dismissed."
Lady Wu was shocked, "How can that be!"
Beside them, Yun Jiao was also startled. Over the past month, the Duke had firmly defended the Capital City with minimal losses. Who wouldn't raise a thumbs-up when talking about the Duke?
Jiang Zhongxing sneered as he spoke of the former emperor being captured.
Lady Wu angrily said, "Why didn't you kill him?"
Jiang Zhongxing's lips moved slightly, "I acted, but I failed."
Lady Wu stood up, "I'll go."
