Jiang Yinxue's expression froze for a moment before returning to normal, though her tone was somewhat aggrieved. "Yinxue was just worried that Third Uncle would be deceived, which is why she acted so impulsively. That young lady really doesn't look like a doctor...Yinxue is being nosy. Please, Uncle Yan, don't tell Third Uncle."

Yan Qun cupped his hands and said, "If Miss Jiang Er has nothing else to do, I will not accompany you any longer."

"Uncle Yan!" Jiang Yinxue stopped him, "Can I go to the third floor to see how Uncle San is doing? The last time I saw him, I saw that he was much thinner. I really can't let him go..."

"Thanks to the miraculous healing work of the young doctor, the Marquis's health has improved a lot. I will tell the Marquis about Second Miss Jiang's intentions."

Jiang Yinxue frowned, then quickly relaxed. Knowing Yan Qun wouldn't let her see her Third Uncle, she said, "Then I'm relieved. My birthday is next month, and it would be great if Third Uncle could come."

She looked lost for a moment, but quickly pulled herself together. "Yinxue will take her leave now. Please don't blame me for bothering you, Uncle Yan."

"Second Miss Jiang, take care."

The people in the lobby downstairs saw this scene, and someone asked, "Is the Third Uncle that Second Miss Jiang mentioned Jiang Su?"

"That's right!" someone answered. "Everyone says that Jiang Huizhi in the past and Shen Su in the present are crazy, but as long as the title of Marquis remains in the Jiang family, I will cling to it! But I don't look down on the Jiang family. What they do deserves to go to hell!"

"So, County Master Mingyu and Shen Su's wife and children were really murdered by the Jiang family?"

"How could you not guess it just by looking at the look on Chen Su's face a few years ago when he wanted to kill all the Jiang family members?"

"Perhaps there is a misunderstanding?"

"Oh."

"I remember that when Chen Su was young, he loved his niece, Miss Jiang Er, the most. Whenever he returned home, he would bring many gifts. It's really sad that the uncle and niece have become strangers..."

"I think this Second Miss Jiang has a good personality and is even thinking about her Third Uncle."

In the guest room, Jiang Huaixu was quietly organizing his words to explain his life experience to Li Qiaoer.

"Axu, can we go back now?" Li Qiaoer asked while checking her luggage, but she didn't get a reply from Jiang Huaixu.

"Ah Xu? Ah Xu!"

Jiang Huaixu came back to his senses and saw Li Qiaoer staring at him. He said seriously, "Sister Qiaoer, I have something to tell you."

Li Qiao'er knew Jiang Huaixu well. Seeing her expression, she immediately put down her luggage and said, "Okay, go ahead."

"I'm not my parents' biological child. They made it clear to me before."

This sentence made Li Qiaoer stunned.

"Now I have found my biological father, he is just upstairs from us."

Li Qiao'er was so shocked that she couldn't close her mouth: "What?!"

In Beichuan County, Jiang Erlang rushed to Beichuan County without stopping, and found the county school with ease. Seeing that there were people guarding the gate and he could not enter or leave at will, he had to walk along the outermost white wall of the county school.

After walking for about half a quarter of an hour, he found a secluded place. Seeing that there was no one around, he took several steps back, took a running start, and climbed over the wall.

"Who are you?"

Jiang Erlang, who had just landed and was about to stand up, suddenly heard a faint voice in his ears.

He looked back and saw several people holding a ladder in the gap between the house and the wall on the left, looking at him.

Jiang Erlang had no idea he was being caught. He stood up and saluted leisurely, "Excuse me, everyone. I..."

One of them lowered his voice and said quickly, "You just skipped school? Then let's make a deal, no one is allowed to tell the teacher about this!"

“······I came to look for someone.” Jiang Erlang added the rest of the words.

"······oh."

"Who are you looking for? Perhaps we can help."

"Yang Zheng."

"Yang Zheng? That's quite a coincidence."

A few people dispersed, revealing Yang Zheng who was dozing against the wall. "Here, Yang Zheng."

Hearing someone calling his name, Yang Zheng rubbed his eyes: "Who called me?"

"Brother Yang, someone is looking for you."

Yang Zheng looked in the direction of his friend's finger, and his sleepiness faded a little. "Jiang Erlang, why did you come to see me?"

Jiang Erlang asked, "Can I have a moment to talk?"

The two of them climbed over the wall again and came to Fumanlou.

After ordering a few side dishes, Yang Zheng said, "I don't know you well, so why did you come to see me? Where's Jiang Huaixu? Why haven't I heard about her cutting open someone's belly recently?"

"Ah Xu is not in Beichuan County. I came here to ask Brother Yang for a favor. If Brother Yang agrees to this meal today, I will treat you."

Squeezing his purse, Yang Zheng coughed dryly and said, "Tell me about it."

Jiang Erlang talked about what happened this morning. "...Nothing else matters, but I heard that shopkeeper surnamed Wu say that he is the county magistrate's brother-in-law. Although I don't come to the county town often, I heard from my sister that the county magistrate's first wife's surname was Hu, not Wu. This makes me a little confused. I don't know if I heard it wrong, or if that person came to our Jiuxi Village to cheat people?"

Yang Zheng laughed out loud, "Chen Xuanming, ah Chen Xuanming, this day has come for you too!"

After laughing, he said to Jiang Erlang, "You heard correctly. Chen Xuanming's maternal grandfather's surname is indeed Hu. Now his brother-in-law is working for the Prince of Yan. How could there be another brother-in-law who is the shopkeeper? The shopkeeper you said is the shopkeeper of Wuyang Tower?"

Jiang Erlang nodded.

"That's right. The Chen family has a favored concubine in the backyard, who was brought in not long ago. The shopkeeper must be using this concubine's influence to force you to sell the house." Yang Zheng drank the tea in the cup in front of him. "Humph, you're courting death. If Chen Xuanming heard about this, he would probably vomit to death."

Jiang Erlang poured Yang Zheng another cup of tea, picked up the cup and said to him, "Today I will use tea instead of wine. Brother Yang, please mention this brother-in-law surnamed Wu to Master Chen. Our Jiang family runs a small business, barely making ends meet. We are all powerless common people, and we really can't afford to be tossed around."

As he said this, he raised his teacup and drank it all.

Yang Zheng looked at Jiang Erlang with interest, "You two brothers and sisters both have black sesame fillings, right? Okay! For Jiang Huaixu's sake, I'll help you this time."
