I hope the cabbages in their house are not really going to be eaten by pigs?
Jiang Zhaorong went straight back to the study, dismissed the servants, and left himself alone in the room.
He sat at his desk, looking at the documents with an indifferent look.
He never thought that Xu Youran would be so decisive.
He agreed to sign not for any reason, but when he saw the anger in his two sons' eyes, he realized that they could no longer be used by him.
He looked at the document, but was thinking in his mind that as long as he could find the secret from Song Shiwei, everything he was doing at the moment would be worth it.
But why are there still no clues after so many years?
The veins on Jiang Zhaorong's hands bulged.
If she had lied to herself back then...
Jiang Zhaorong was lost in thought when a maid's voice suddenly came from outside the door, "Prime Minister, the old lady asks you to go to the lobby."
Jiang Zhaorong frowned irritably. What happened?
When he rushed to the lobby, in addition to the old lady, Xu Yanli and Xu Youran, there were also Jiang Zhiyu and her sister, and Jiang Kangan and his brother were all standing in the hall, with several empty boxes placed in the middle.
Jiang Zhaorong was stunned for several seconds.
"What a coincidence."
Xu Youran called out when she saw him coming. Yi Qiao stepped forward and bowed before continuing, "Prime Minister, I was in the storeroom, checking the account books and counting Madam's dowry. It was all in good condition at first, but when I opened the boxes for the valuables at the back, they were empty. There were five long pages, probably about ten boxes."
Jiang Zhaorong already knew who did it without anyone telling him.
He glanced coldly at the old lady slumped in the chair, turned his head and said coldly: "I understand, I will personally send it to your house later."
"No need to come in person," Xu Youran said, turning aside and heading out the door. "Just send someone to deliver it. Don't dirty the Xu Mansion anymore."
The family turned around and left. In an instant, only the old lady and Jiang Zhaorong were left in the hall.
After the man left, the old lady finally mustered up the courage to let out a "Puh" sound. A stinging pain spread across her cheeks. She rubbed her face and looked at Jiang Zhaorong flatteringly: "Zhaorong, mother didn't know your second brother would act like this. I thought he only used a little bit, but who would have thought..."
"Enough!" Jiang Zhaorong looked at her coldly, with a flash of murderous intent in his eyes.
The old lady fell silent. Jiang Zhaorong didn't even look at her again and walked away.
…
When everyone had packed up, the Xu family's carriage was already waiting outside the mansion. Several people got on the carriage one by one. In the carriage, Jiang Sulan felt extremely regretful.
Why did I go out at that time?!
After she came back, she heard the news from the maid.
She leaned against the back of the carriage, her face full of despair.
[Tsk, isn't it just a missed opportunity? What's the big deal? I'll take my sister to the palace later and let her see it!]
Jiang Sulan: “!!!”
She was suddenly stunned.
To be honest, she has been thinking about the palace for a long time.
[Hmm? Why are you suddenly so energetic?]
Jiang Sulan's eyes moved: "Zhiyu, tell me what happened before."
Jiang Zhiyu was stunned for a moment, and told her everything that had happened before.
After an hour, the carriage slowly stopped and arrived in front of Xu's house.
Xu Yanli was once framed, and Xu Youran's five brothers were demoted or sent to remote areas. It was not until recently that the emperor relented and allowed them to come back.
After hearing this, the five people stood at the door, looking forward to it.
People got off the carriage quickly. When Xu Youran saw them, tears immediately flowed down her face.
I haven’t been back for so many years!
She seemed to have returned to her carefree girlhood. Although tears were flowing, the corners of her mouth were raised.
Seeing her like this, the others couldn't help but feel their eyes well up. The eldest brother of the Xu family was the first to step forward. He looked at the younger sister and said in a choked voice, "You've lost weight... It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back."
The other people also got out of the car one after another. Jiang Kangan stepped forward and was about to bow, but the eldest brother of the Xu family held him back and said, "We are all family, no need to be polite."
Jiang Kangan was slightly stunned, and Jiang Sulan and Jiang Zhiyu also walked up from behind.
Jiang Wenjing did not come, but went straight to Jiang Zhiyu's house in the suburbs with Ji Tong. There was a secret passage in the house. Just in case, Jiang Zhiyu also told Jiang Wenjing the entrance and exit of the secret passage.
Jiang Zhiyu looked at her uncles and was very well-behaved.
"Sulan and Zhiyu have grown up so much now," the eldest brother of the Xu family said with some emotion. Although they had never seen them, their father often sent them portraits, so they recognized them.
"Where's Wen Jing? Isn't he back too?"
Jiang Kangan replied, "Wen Jing has a personal guard with him, so it's not convenient for him to come."
A few people didn't think much about it, simply asked where they were going, and then stopped asking.
The brothers were all moved and pulled them to look at it again and again.
His eyes were full of love.
【This is the atmosphere that a family should have! 】
The brothers were stunned.
Jiang Zhiyu was completely unaware.
How could such kind uncles have such a tragic end?!
[Luckily, the Dog Emperor is now a human being. With me here, the previous ending would never have happened!]
Xu family brothers: "!!!"
This sound, it sounds like a juvenile fish, but she is not talking! What's going on?
What is the tragic ending?
Several people were stunned. Xu Yanli coughed lightly and changed the subject: "Alright, alright, what are you all doing blocking the door? Why don't you get someone to move the things back quickly so they can get some rest!"
The few of them finally woke up from their dream, gave orders to the servants, and escorted them back to the mansion.
The scenery in the mansion seemed to have not changed much from before Xu Youran got married. There were four locust trees at the door, as well as exotic flowers and trees. A clear stream meandered from the depths of the flowers and trees into the crevices under the rocks. A few steps forward, the pool was flat and wide, with white stone railings surrounding the edge.
Xu Youran looked at it, her nose felt sore, and her eyes were filled with tears again.
After walking for a while, they arrived at the hall. In the main seat, Mrs. Tai Shi, Tan Shujing, had been waiting for a long time.
As soon as Xu Youran entered the room, she saw her red eyes. Tears immediately burst out and she rushed over: "Mom!"
She snuggled into Tan Shujing's arms and cried bitterly. Tan Shujing was so distressed that she stroked her back and shed tears of her own.
"My son has been wronged. Cry it out. It will be fine if you come back. We will be fine in the future."
Xu Youran nodded while crying, and everyone's eyes were reddened by her crying.
【That's great, Mom finally doesn't have to carry herself anymore. 】
Hearing the sound, Tan Shujing paused and looked around.
Who is speaking?
There was only one sentence in the voice. After waiting for a while, she heard nothing else and thought it was just an auditory hallucination.
After crying for a long time, Xu Youran finally stopped, and she felt a little embarrassed afterward.
She's already a mother, yet she's still crying in front of her children...
