Chapter 500: Green Bean Figures it Out

"When did you write the letter?" Ye Mingzhu was a little surprised. He had never heard Jiang Hongyu talk about this.

"I wrote this a few days ago. My fifth brother wanted Uncle Yan's help to get Ruan Linlin's divorce papers. I happened to be writing a letter to mother, so I asked her and Uncle Yan to do it." Jiang Hongyu completed this letter under Ye Wu's supervision.

"Fifth brother has really fallen in love with Sister Linlin." Ye Mingzhu sighed.

"I told my fifth brother that if it doesn't work out, we can get married here first and go back to write the divorce papers when we have the chance. But my fifth brother disagreed. He said he wanted Ruan Linlin to marry him with a clear conscience." Jiang Hongyu also admired Ye Wu. He didn't expect that he would go to that extent for Ruan Linlin.

"Then I also want to write a letter to my uncle, and Pingping. We haven't written to them yet since we came to Linchang." Ye Mingzhu said as she was about to write the letter.

Jiang Hongyu was drunk and burped. He stood up and pulled Ye Mingzhu towards the bed. "It's getting dark now. Writing a letter will strain your eyes. Let's write it tomorrow morning."

Ye Mingzhu couldn't break free from his hand and could only rest under his force.

The next day, Jiang Hongyu got up very early and went directly to the place where Green Bean practiced boxing. He accompanied him and Ye Yun'an to practice boxing, and then fought with them. All three of them were sweating.

Ye Yun'an went to wash up, and Jiang Hongyu left the mung beans.

Green Bean was very smart. He shook his head: "Brother-in-law, you're fine. You don't have to worry about me."

Jiang Hongyu said, "Green Bean, I want to tell you about my story."

Luodou became interested. He sat next to Jiang Hongyu and tilted his head to listen to Jiang Hongyu talk about their exile to Yuanshan Village.

"After we came here, Uncle Yan helped us take back the businesses that my father had secretly built. We didn't lack money, but we were exiled, so we couldn't just sit at home every day. My mother went out to treat patients, and I followed Uncle Yan to learn martial arts, go up the mountains to chop wood, and go down to the sea to catch fish."

"Brother-in-law, you have suffered." Green Bean's eyes were full of heartache.

"Ludou, I'm not telling you this to make you feel sorry for me. I'm talking about my mother. We're in Yuanshan Village. Although we have Uncle Yan to help us, we're all outsiders. If it weren't for my mother's medical skills and Uncle Yan and I learning martial arts, our lives would be even more difficult."

"But the aunts who came to Yuanshan Village with me often came to my mother to borrow things. As long as my family had something, they would not be able to find it. My mother said at the time that there were no men in our family, and we couldn't offend everyone."

"Ludou, even if your mother has no worries about food and drink in Prince Jing's mansion, the pain in her heart is something that others cannot feel."

"Actually, I know that Uncle Yan taught me martial arts not only for my father's sake, but also because he has liked my mother for a long time. However, my mother never agreed to his request. It was only after I got married that Uncle Yan married my mother. If my mother had married Uncle Yan earlier, she wouldn't have to suffer so much."

"I only saw my mother smile after she married Uncle Yan. Before, she rarely smiled."

"Green Bean, how long has it been since you saw your mother smile?"

Jiang Hongyu’s question stunned Ludou. How long?

It seemed that he had rarely seen his mother smile since he was a child. His mother would only smile when his cousin or Uncle Ling came. Usually, his mother would sit in the yard looking at the sky, or sit in the martial arts training ground of Prince Jing's Mansion.

"Brother-in-law, I rarely see my mother smile since I was a child." Green Bean said foolishly. He felt a little sad. He knew that his mother was unhappy, but he had never thought about these issues in detail.

"Brother-in-law, I'm just worried that if my mother marries Uncle Ling, I'll be left without a mother." Lu Dou said hoarsely as he threw himself into Jiang Hongyu's arms.

"You still have me, your sister Mingzhu, and Yun'an. We will all be with you." Jiang Hongyu was not sure whether Mrs. Lu would still be good to Ludou after she remarried, but they would definitely stay with him.

"Uncle Ling said that my mother came to Linchang because of me, and they will stay in Linchang to accompany me." Ludou repeated what Ling Tongzhi said yesterday.

Jiang Hongyu was originally puzzled. Ling Tongzhi was said to be a general, so how could he become a Tongzhi here? It turned out that there was a reason for this.

"Ludou, it depends on your own inner thoughts. It's up to you to decide what you want to do." Jiang Hongyu came to see Ludou today, just hoping that he could be happier and more relaxed, instead of being like when he was a child, worried about Aunt Qing remarrying and always tense. When facing Uncle Yan, his emotions were sometimes good and sometimes bad.

Yes, Jiang Hongyu had known for a long time that Uncle Yan and Aunt Qing were in love, but he was worried that Aunt Qing would not want him after she remarried, so he pretended not to know and was even somewhat repulsed by Uncle Yan. It was only after he grew up that his attitude towards Uncle Yan and Aunt Qing improved a little.

After Jiang Hongyu got married, with Ye Mingzhu's company, he was able to understand the feelings of Uncle Yan and Aunt Qing and was willing to accept what was happening between the two of them, but he also regretted it.

Aunt Qing is not his biological mother. She has done so many things for him, but he prevented Aunt Qing from finding her own happiness.

Uncle Yan has waited for Aunt Qing in this place of exile for so many years. Who can guarantee that Ling Tongzhi will also wait for Madam Lu for so many years?

Besides, Ling Tongzhi is a military general after all, and the risk factor is very high. If something unexpected happens, I am afraid that Mrs. Lu will regret it. If she blames Lu Dou again, then their mother-son relationship, which is already ordinary, will be in jeopardy.

He didn't want Lu Dou to regret it later, so he came to persuade Lu Dou.

Luodou saw Uncle Yan and Aunt Qing get married with his own eyes. Although he didn't know about their past, he saw that they were very close after marriage and even didn't care much about Jiang Hongyu.

"Brother-in-law, but after Aunt Qing and Uncle Yan got married, they moved to the Yan family and didn't come back often. Aren't you sad?" Ludou asked carefully.

Jiang Hongyu was of course sad, but he smiled and touched Ludou's head: "Ludou, I'm already married. I have your sister Mingzhu, and I will have my own children in the future. I will definitely not put all my energy on my mother. Tell me, my mother, is it hard?"

Ludou lowered his head and didn't ask any more questions, and Jiang Hongyu didn't try to persuade him anymore.

He was just worried that Ludou would be sad. As long as Ludou could figure it out herself, he didn't care whether Ling Tongzhi and Madam Lu got married or not.

Seeing that it was getting late, Jiang Hongyu got up to wash up as he had to go to the military camp.

Lu Dou first went back to his room to write a letter, then quietly went out and asked someone to deliver it to his grandfather in the capital. Then he went back to change his clothes and went to Mrs. Lu's residence without even having breakfast.
