Lucky Star Little Maid - C171
Since Old Madame Xu and Dong Shu had already exchanged glances earlier, and had already discussed roughly what they would do after arriving at home today, Dong Shu couldn’t help but take the initiative to ‘remind’ Old Madame Xu, “Mother, there is something else we have come for today.”
The moment Dong Shu opened her mouth, the Old Madame Xu paused for a moment and then couldn’t help but let out a sigh.
As for Jiang Han, he was also instantly enlightened by Dong Shu’s words.
Thinking about the purpose of the arrival of the person from Xu Family, Jiang Han’s weak heart became a bit harder to bear after hearing what the Old Madame Xu had just said.
He knew that if he really let go of Xu Yanzhu and let him leave the Jiang Family, it would be hard to say whether or not she would be able to obtain benefits from the Xu Family in the future.
Maybe Old Madame Xu had already guessed what Jiang Han was thinking, after Dong Shu reminded her, she looked at Jiang Han and spoke out: “Jiang Han, I believe you understand why we have come to find you today.” While talking, Old Madame Xu kept on staring at Jiang Han, and after seeing him nod his head, she continued: “I wonder, did you manage to get the identity of the man from Yanzhu?”
Jiang Han did not expect Old Madame Xu to ask him this. After being stunned for a moment, he asked Old Madame Xu probingly, “Could it be that Grandmother does not know who this person is?”
“You don’t know either?” Old Madame Xu looked at Jiang Han in shock, and when she saw the seriousness on Jiang Han’s face, she couldn’t help but let out a sigh, “I’ve been thinking about it at home for an entire night, but I couldn’t figure out who this person was.”
After saying this, the Old Madame Xu didn’t even wait for Jiang Han to speak as she continued, “Yanzhu was raised by me personally, I am very clear about her personality. Furthermore, ever since our Xu Family left the capital ten years ago, Yanzhu had always been staying at the Xiahe Village and had never gone out. I really don’t understand how she could be willing to make such a sacrifice. ”
What Old Madame Xu said was the truth, and this was exactly what she didn’t understand.
She couldn’t figure out his identity, but she was enough to make her carefully bred, Xu Yanzhu, to let go of his identity and do such a thing.
One must know, if Jiang Han were to expose this matter without regard for Jiang Family, the reputation of all the unmarried and married women in her Xu Family would be affected.
This was the clan, Xu Yanzhu understood this very well.
Thinking about it, a name suddenly popped out from Old Madame Xu’s heart, but very quickly, she rejected it.
If he was really still alive, as long as he showed his face, with His Majesty’s guilt and power in Hu Family, he would definitely be made a great grandson.
But other than him, how would Yanzhu have the chance to meet another male?
Jiang Han had been paying attention to Old Madame Xu’s expression the entire time. Seeing that her expression had changed so much, he could not help but ask after Old Madame Xu regained her senses, “Grandmother, do you have a guess?”
Hearing Jiang Han’s words, Old Madame Xu knew that he had been paying attention to her this whole time.
As a result, Old Madame Xu did not hide anything and told her what she had been thinking.
“Jiang Han, do you know about the matter between Yanzhu and the late Crown Prince’s son?”
When Old Madame Xu opened her mouth, Jiang Han understood her meaning.
Xu Yanzhu had grown up together with the eldest son of the crown prince’s family since childhood, and the two families had the intention of marrying each other. Therefore, before the incident with her Xu Family, Xu Yanzhu had been raised according to the requirements of the crown prince’s first wife.
Although something happened to the crown prince’s family, Xu Yanzhu followed her Xu Family and left the capital. Even after her aunt and the others returned back to the capital, she did not return.
A girl who had nearly married into the crown prince’s family and had the possibility of becoming the next Crown Prince’s consort, could she really casually take a fancy to another man?
Jiang Han felt that it was impossible.
Thinking to this, Jiang Han directly replied: “I know a little.” After saying this, Jiang Han thought for a while, then continued: “But that person has already been dead for many years, is his position in Yanzhu’s heart that important?”
It was not that Jiang Han said something like that without knowing what was good for him, but he was truly suspicious.
After all, back then, even if Xu Yanzhu had a closer relationship with Ye Yan, the two of them were still young at the time.
After so many years had passed, and her Xu Family had been defeated because of the crown prince’s family, did Xu Yanzhu really not hate the imperial family at all?
Jiang Han couldn’t understand. He didn’t think that after so many years, Ye Yan would still have such an important position in Xu Yanzhu’s heart.
Old Madame Xu did understand why Jiang Han asked that. After all, she had considered this question before.
“Jiang Han, you may not know how important the word ‘love’ is in this child’s heart. Back then, that person had given a debt of gratitude to Yanzhu, so naturally, Yanzhu would return it with sincerity. What’s more, wasn’t there a good point in saying it? People who are alive are never as important as people who are dead. ”
Once Old Madame Xu finished, Jiang Han sighed and closed her eyes.
He naturally understood that Xu Yanzhu valued love more than anything, if not she would not have been willing to marry him at that time.
One had to know that the status of the two wives he had married before was not as good as Xu Yanzhu’s.
According to the rules, even if he were to remarry, his status would only be worse than the previous two wives because this was a form of respect towards the families of the previous two wives.
But in the end, he had married back to a Xu Family girl, one that even the families of the first two wives did not dare to object to.
Although his Xu Family had not returned to the capital last year, he still had the foundation of his Xu Family.
Not to mention that at that time, the main house of the Xu Family was still an official in the capital, not only did Xu Yanzhu have a princess aunt, he also had a blood aunt from the Crown Princess.
Just with these two women, with Xu Yanzhu’s status, it was impossible for her to marry a merchant as a successor.
The reason he was able to successfully marry Xu Yanzhu was entirely because of a scheme and his aunt’s pressure of Xu Yanzhu.
After understanding this point, Jiang Han opened his eyes and told Old Madame Xu what he had told Xu Yanzhu yesterday.
“Grandmother, actually, yesterday Hai had already discussed this with Yanzhu. As long as that person comes to see me and discuss the matter with me, I will forcefully make Yanzhu the late Liang Family. I will treat Yanzhu as my younger sister’s reason to set him free.” After saying these words, Jiang Han was afraid that the Old Madame Xu would not believe him, so he continued to add: “After all, even if Yanzhu is not my wife, she is still my cousin. Furthermore, many of the Madam heads could tell that Yanzhu and I did not manage to get back on track. ”
As for whether or not anyone saw the change in Xu Yanzhu in the past two months, Jiang Han could not guarantee.
But at least, if he did not meet Yanzhu who vomited yesterday, and asked for a doctor later on, he would not be able to tell.
Hearing Jiang Han’s words, Old Madame Xu and Dong Shu heaved a sigh of relief.
As long as Jiang Han was willing to talk.
“Yesterday, I had already asked your third aunt to send a message to your Third Uncle. The last time, I heard that he would be returning to the capital soon.
Old Madame Xu’s intentions were very clear, and her Xu Family was not prepared to let this person go either.
Even if Xu Yanzhu had done it voluntarily, for such a thing to happen, their Xu Family must have come to an end.
Jiang Han never thought that the Old Madame Xu would give him such a promise. To be able to personally discuss this with the Third Uncle, who had the best future in his Xu Family, Jiang Han naturally wished for nothing more.
He knew that although the Third Uncle looked like he was focused on becoming a martial general, he had business in the capital.
“Since Grandmother has spoken, I shall push back the time limit set for yesterday by another half a month. After all, the Third Uncle was sent to the capital under the orders of the Emperor.
When Jiang Han said this, Old Madame Xu and Dong Shu looked at each other in joy.
Half a month’s time was already enough for them to send a letter to Xu Shiqiu with their Xu Family, and also allowed Xu Shiqiu to rush back from Da Tong.
Since they had agreed on this matter, Old Madame Xu would naturally propose to meet Xu Yanzhu and see if she can get some information out of her.
Jiang Han had already made so many concessions, he naturally would not refuse if he wanted Xu Family to owe him a favor.
At this time, Jiang Han had already thought it through very clearly. As long as he owed a large enough favor, when the Fifth Prince ascends the throne in the future, Xu Shiqiu, the little brother with the best relationship with Fifth Prince’s Concubine, would definitely receive a lot of attention.
At that time, his Jiang Family business would definitely rise to another level.
Jiang Han even thought that if he could, he still had to change the situation of how he was unable to become an official despite spending many generations of his time in the clan.
As long as he controlled this matter well, he would definitely have everything he wanted.
Old Madame Xu and Dong Shu did not care about what Jiang Han was thinking about at this moment. After hearing that Jiang Han could go see Xu Yanzhu, the two of them left the place and under the guidance of the servant, went directly to Xu Yanzhu’s residence.
When the servant woman guarding the door saw that Old Madame Xu and Dong Shu had arrived, she understood the Patriarch’s intentions and naturally left slowly.
Hua Yu and Hua Ci immediately found out about this matter and informed Xu Yanzhu about it.
Xu Yanzhu’s complexion today was slightly better than yesterday, but only by a little.
Due to being pregnant, her complexion was not very good. At least, the moment Old Madame Xu and Dong Shu saw her, their hearts ached and their eyes reddened.
When Xu Yanzhu saw that the Old Madame Xu and Dong Shu had arrived, she hurriedly climbed down the bed. Then, without caring about the obstruction of the words, he directly kneeled on the cold stone floor.
“Grandmother, Yanzhu has let you down, and we have let down our Xu Family.” As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Yanzhu’s face was already covered in tears.
Seeing this kind of Xu Yanzhu, Old Madame Xu, who originally wanted to reprimand him, could not say a word.
