"Father-in-law has arrived? Attendants, what are you waiting for! Quickly invite the Imperial Father-in-law inside to rest!"
After a brief hesitation, Xiao Jinan still did not wake Jiang Jiamian.
Instead, he steadied himself, quickly adjusted his appearance, and hurried to the front hall to receive him.
When he arrived, the middle-aged general stood outside, his armor gleaming coldly in the morning light. His imposing presence was as unyielding as a pine, showing no trace of fatigue despite having traveled through the night.
At the sound of Xiao Jinan's voice, Jiang Qingshan slowly turned around and offered a shallow fist salute. "Greetings, Your Majesty."
The salute was distant and restrained, carrying an unmistakable hint of anger.
Xiao Jinan understood and did not take it to heart. He merely turned his gaze toward the hall. "Father-in-law, please come inside."
"I would not dare accept such honor."
Jiang Qingshan's expression was stiff, and he did not move an inch.
