Chapter 220 He's taken a liking to Shu Yu

Deng was extremely disgusted by Jiang Sanshao's behavior, but unfortunately, she was just an unfavored second wife in the Jiang family.

Jiang's parents doted on their third son, and his temperament was a result of their spoiling.

Things calmed down for a while afterward, mainly because of the engagement with the Ding family.

The marriage was arranged by the two families' matriarchs. The matriarch of the Ding family didn't particularly like Ding Yuehua. Because Ding Yuehua had a knack for business, Mr. Ding entrusted some of his business to her.

Originally, the matriarch of the Ding family wanted to persuade Mr. Ding to give this part of the business to her second son.

As a result, Ding Yuehua snatched the deal away. Old Madam Ding found it utterly absurd. How could a woman destined to marry have the right to manage her family's business? This would cause endless trouble in the future. So she wanted to marry her off and even chose Jiang Sanshao.

Mr. and Mrs. Ding naturally disagreed, but Mrs. Ding made the decision on her own initiative, and the matter was settled while Mr. Ding was not at home.

As a result, when Jiang Sanshao went to the Ding family and saw Ding Yuehua's appearance, he refused to marry her. Instead, he took a fancy to the more beautiful Third Miss and wanted to change his mind.

The Jiang family, however, indulged and agreed to such an outrageous request.

After getting engaged, Jiang Sanshao really did settle down for a while.

Until... a while ago, something happened at the county government office, and the Jiang family couldn't wait to break off the engagement with the Ding family.

Freed from the constraints of marriage, Jiang Sanshao reverted to his old ways, starting to philander.

Upon seeing Lu Shuyu's appearance, my old habit kicked in again.

Madam Deng naturally wouldn't tell him about Shu Yu's situation, but frowned and said, "That girl is just a customer who came to buy wine. How would I know her name or where she lives?"

Jiang Sanshao's face immediately darkened, and he gave Deng Shi a disdainful look, "You're in business, don't you even know how to ask about these things?"

Ms. Deng, “…” Does she have to find out the family background of all her customers just to open a shop?

The third young master of the Jiang family is simply insane.

However, Jiang Sanshao quickly added smugly, "It's alright, she's driving a mule cart. I'll just ask around, and I guarantee I'll find out her name in less than two days."

Deng felt a sense of foreboding.

Hearing this, Jiang Yi frowned and said, "Third brother, don't do anything rash. Jiangyuan County is unstable right now, and our Jiang family has fallen out with the Ding family. If there's any more trouble, we'll definitely become someone else's target."

Jiang Sanshao said impatiently, "What do you mean? Are you saying that it's all my fault that our family has fallen out with the Ding family? Second brother, the decision to annul the engagement was made by our parents and agreed to by our grandmother. Are you questioning our parents' decision by saying this now?"

I didn't mean that.

"Then what do you mean? That girl is just a country bumpkin, with no money or power. It's her good fortune that the third young master of the Jiang family has taken a liking to her. Who knows, her family might be hoping that I will come to their door."

After Jiang Sanshao finished speaking, he glared at the two of them with disgust, then turned and left without entering the wine shop.

Deng and Jiang Yi exchanged a glance, the former looking worried. "What should we do?"

"You can't persuade the third brother with his stubborn nature. I think we should talk to that girl first and then see if there's any way to dissuade him from his idea."

"But all I know is that the girl has a shop on Ningshui Street. I don't know exactly where it is or what it sells. I can't just go from shop to shop asking."
