Chapter 550 Family Matters

By the time Jiang Mubai woke up from her sleep, it was already afternoon. She actually wanted to sleep more but was worried that she had nothing to eat and the baby would be hungry.

Even if he still wanted to sleep, Jiang Mubai had to wait until he filled his stomach.

Jiang Mubai was so hungry that he immediately walked out of the room and went downstairs to eat something. Jiang An was already eating at the dining table downstairs. When he saw Jiang Mubai coming down, he immediately greeted him warmly.

"Mu Bai, you slept well, right? You must be hungry, come over and have something to eat with me. I just got up not long ago, and these are freshly made in the kitchen and are still warm. Let's eat them while they're hot."

"Ok."

Jiang Mubai originally wanted to call Jiang An "Uncle Jiang", but she swallowed the words when they were already on the tip of her tongue. She couldn't call him Uncle Jiang anymore. After all, her relationship with Jiang An was not such that she could not call him Uncle. But Jiang Mubai was not used to what Han's father said, so she couldn't call him that.

Jiang Mubai didn't know how to address Jiang An, so she was smart enough to just not call him anything so that she wouldn't have to worry about it.

"Come, drink a bowl of soup first to fill your stomach and see if the soup is to your taste and whether the smell makes you want to vomit."

Jiang Mubai didn't feel sick after smelling it, so he tried a few sips and found it quite delicious. "This soup is delicious. I don't feel sick after smelling it."

"That's good. If you like it, drink more. If you want more, tell the kitchen and ask them to make it for you anytime in the future."

"Yes, the kitchen lady in the villa has very good cooking skills. I think the things she made look pretty good and smell good too."

“If you try them, you’ll know they taste really good too!”

"You can tell without tasting it. Look, I'm already drinking my second bowl of this soup. I guess the kitchen lady's cooking skills must be very good."

The two of them fell silent while eating. They were so hungry that they didn't care about anyone else. Jiang Mubai and Jiang An went out in the middle of the night and came back at dawn. After coming back, they immediately went back to their room to catch up on sleep until the afternoon. They didn't have breakfast or lunch, so they were extremely hungry.

It was an hour later when the two of them finished eating, "Mu Bai, are you full? If you are, come with me to the living room. I have something to tell you."

"Okay."

Jiang Mubai could actually still eat, but she was afraid that she would overeat like last time. Last time, Cheng Yunchuan accompanied her for a walk to help digest the food. But this time, Jiang Mubai didn't want Jiang An to accompany her for a walk. After all, she had not yet adapted to Jiang An's change of identity. So Jiang Mubai didn't know how to face it and could only try to avoid being alone with him.

But Jiang An had something to tell Jiang Mubai, so Jiang Mubai couldn't escape even if she wanted to. Besides, Jiang Mubai was very curious about what Jiang An wanted to tell her.

After Jiang Mubai sat down, Jiang An began to speak.

"Didn't I tell you before that there were many powerful people in our family? Now that we are both free, I will tell you about our Jiang family."

Jiang Mubai showed that she was listening attentively. Jiang An was naturally very satisfied to see that she was so understanding.

"Our Jiang family used to be a famous and prestigious family. Although we are not as powerful as before, we are still much stronger than ordinary families. There are many members in our family and they are distributed in various industries. Those successful people you see in the news with the surname Jiang are most likely from our family."

After hearing Jiang An say this, Jiang Mubai seemed to have a preliminary understanding of the Jiang family.

"You will find out about these things when you get in touch with them slowly in the future. What I am going to tell you is someone who is even more powerful than these people. You may find it a little weird after hearing it, but I can guarantee that these are all true and not made up on purpose for you to hear."

"Really? Then I'm even more curious. Tell me now and stop keeping me in suspense."

"Okay, let me tell you slowly."

"In which dynasty did our ancestor go abroad and find a very powerful general? It's impossible to verify which dynasty it was, but this general did exist. No matter what battle he led, he never lost, and he won countless battles with a smaller force! Others don't know how the general won, but people in the family know. It turns out that this general can summon ghost soldiers to help him fight. Many people died on the battlefield, so the souls of those people were all summoned back by the general to help him fight. In addition, the ghost soldiers are different from ordinary soldiers. They can't be killed and can be reused, so this is why the general can win battles and is so powerful."

Hearing this, Jiang Mubai couldn't help but become curious, "So no one has discovered this?"

"Yes, our people and the enemy know that the general relies on ghost soldiers to fight, but what's the use of the enemy knowing it? They were still defeated by the general and died on the battlefield. The soldiers under the general are all our own people. Although they are curious, they will not say anything. Those people will get a lot of rewards after following the general to fight with ghost soldiers and win. Why would they tell it after seeing this? If the general's secret is exposed, won't many people want to join the general's organization? Wouldn't the rewards for those people be reduced?"

"Anyway, the soldiers who followed the general didn't tell anyone about this, and the general didn't mistreat the soldiers who followed him to fight and helped him keep the secret. When the world was at peace and there were no more wars to fight, the general treated the soldiers who followed him very well. When those soldiers retired and returned home, they brought back a lot of gold, silver and jewelry."

"Others don't know about the general, so how do you know?"

"Of course the general said it himself at home, right? It was a war where the few defeated the many. When the general's family found out about it, they definitely didn't want him to go to the battlefield and die. But the general assured his family that he would be able to return victorious, so the family members agreed to let him lead the troops to fight. And things turned out just as the general said. They won the battle and returned victorious. Later, the general's family members kept asking about it out of curiosity, and the general had no choice but to tell them about the ghost soldiers. When the general's family members found out about it, they were afraid of getting in trouble, so they specifically warned the Jiang family not to spread the word, otherwise they would use family law against them and kick them out of the family without any courtesy."

"What a magical thing! So why can the general summon ghost soldiers to help?"

"I'm not sure about this question. The general may have told his family, but they were afraid that the secret would be known, so they didn't want to tell them in advance. As time went by, fewer and fewer people knew the method of summoning ghost soldiers. Later, no one knew what the general's method was, but the general's story has been passed down."

"Like you, I was skeptical when I first heard about this, but after my parents repeatedly assured me that it was true, I began to believe it. Plus, after what happened between us at the cemetery, I was even more convinced of it."
