Chapter 65: Not suitable for exposure

Jiang Shi didn't look at Yue Fuli, but only at the old lady, and said, "Aunt, please feel sorry for Kuan'er. He can't walk like this. So, could you please let him lie down in the donkey cart?"

"Mrs. Zhenhu, do you want me to give you the whole donkey cart?" The old lady's face was a little grim. This Jiang was really greedy, actually wanting their donkey cart.

Not to mention that this donkey cart was bought with money, even if it was given by someone else, there is no reason to give it to Jiang for free.

"Aunt, you've seen Kuan'er's condition. Could it be that you could just watch him die on the road?"

The old lady naturally couldn't bear it, but she didn't want to be taken advantage of. This Jiang had a good plan, using her son's name to argue for it. If she didn't give it, it would seem that she, the great grandmother, was unkind.

But if I give it to him, I may not be able to return the donkey cart.

She is old and if she really has to walk to Qianzhou on foot, she will be skinned alive even if she doesn't die.

The old lady opened her mouth and was about to refuse when Yue Fuli spoke up, "Aunt, it's not impossible for you to have this donkey cart. However, you also know that I spent ten taels of silver to buy it. If you want it, I can sell it to you at the original price."

"Ah Li, we're family, why do we have to be so discreet? Talking about money hurts feelings. Besides, Kuan'er is your cousin, so just pity him, okay?"

"Aunt, when I was being tortured in prison, why didn't you show any pity for me? Not to mention pity, you didn't even say a word of greeting. Now you're talking to me about family and love. How dare you be so arrogant?"

"Me?" Jiang's face flushed crimson, unable to refute for a moment. When she was in prison, she thought the second wife would not be exiled, and that her husband would find a way to rescue them.

But who knew that in the end he would still be exiled?

Yue Fuli glanced at Jiang calmly and said to the old lady, "Grandma, please don't be soft-hearted. You treat them as family, but they don't treat us as family. Even if you gave the donkey cart to Yue Lingkuan today, he wouldn't be grateful. He might even think we owe them."

"Isn't it? Our Second Branch was implicated by you." Jiang puffed out her chest, raised her head, and said, "If it weren't for your First Branch's misdeeds, how could our Second Branch have suffered this?"

"Aunt, I heard that after my father got into trouble, my uncle was fine. Don't you think this is strange?"

As Yue Fuli spoke, his eyes fixed on Jiang Shi without blinking. It had been so long since his father's accident, yet there was no news from Yue Zhenhu. He was his father's confidant, so logically, he should have informed them immediately.

But Yue Zhenhu didn't.

Not only was they not informed, there wasn't even any news about him. Not even death, missing, or anything else.

She suspected Yue Zhenhu was fine, perhaps even serving at the border. It was a pity that she had no one around her and couldn't get timely news from the border.

However, she has asked the people in the Dark Tower to inquire about it, and she believes that there will be news soon.

After hearing Yue Fuli's words, Jiang felt a little guilty, but she didn't dare show it on her face.

Her man was naturally fine, and was even valued by the military supervisor. However, this matter should not be exposed for the time being.
