"Sanniang, you know that's not what I meant."
Jiang Weiyan sighed, "In my heart, you and He Zhu are the most important. It has always been a pain in my heart that I can't stand up for you."
"Stop talking so much nonsense. If you really want to help us, do something concrete. I'm not the woman in your family who can be fooled by you in just a few words."
Yu Sanniang snorted coldly, "Jiang Weiyan, you said I've been with you for so many years, and what have you done for us? I've received nothing but fear."
"Sanniang, you're just trying to break my heart by saying that. I'm willing to die for you. Isn't everything I do now also for you? How can you say that?"
Jiang Weiyan looked at her in disbelief. For the woman in front of him, he betrayed the Jiang family, betrayed his brother, and deceived his wife.
As an official appointed by the court, he was unfaithful, and as a husband, he was also unfaithful and unrighteous, not to mention the brotherhood.
But he would rather be unfaithful and unjust than not be with her.
Isn’t that enough?
Besides, she was the one who looked down on her status and didn't want to get married.
Seeing him like this, Yu Sanniang was a little impatient. "I know you tried hard, but you didn't do what you promised me. Over the years, the second branch has been living better and better. Now that they have broken away from the Jiang family, it will be difficult for us to deal with them again."
For so many years, she just couldn't bear to see Yu Shulan and Jiang Weizhen loving each other, but she did so much and still couldn't destroy them. How could she not be anxious?
As for the Yu family, apart from losing their official position, they suffered no other losses.
These people are really difficult to deal with.
"I will get rid of them sooner or later. When Prince Chen wins, the first person I'll get rid of will be Jiang Weizhen. How long do you think they can keep their cool?"
"I heard you say this a year ago. You said that the Yu family and Jiang Weizhen would both suffer a major setback this year. Is that it?"
Yu Sanniang sighed, "Let's put these things aside for now. He Zhu's matter is more important."
Song Yu has already said it, he will marry her even if he doesn't want to.
"I will go find Ruan Han and ask him to seek justice for He Zhu, but you can't just do nothing on your side."
Yu Sanniang looked at him coldly, "Tell Prince Chen about your thoughts as well."
King Chen might not be unable to listen to what he just said.
"Prince Chen recently gave me a task. Once I complete it, I will naturally tell him about it. Don't worry."
Jiang Weiyan also calmed down at this moment.
He had just lost his mind for a moment because of Su Wu's words, and felt that Ruan Hezhu had been wronged.
But King Chen's decision was not something he could influence. He could only try his best to do his job well and strive to have a greater say in King Chen's opinion. Only in this way could he support Ruan Hezhu.
"Okay, we are in the capital. We shouldn't stay here for too long. Let's leave now."
Yu Sanniang rubbed her aching forehead. Things had not been going well for the past year.
"Then I'll go out first, you wait a moment."
There are so many people here and it would be troublesome if they go out together and get seen.
Yu Sanniang understood what he meant and nodded, "Okay, you go first."
Jiang Wei Yan just walked out of the room and turned around to see Ning Yuan standing at the stairs.
Jiang Weiyan was startled, a guilty look flashed in his eyes, and he forced a smile.
"Mr. Ning, are you coming for tea too?"
His voice was a little loud, and Yu Sanniang, who was originally in a depressed mood in the room, was startled instantly, with panic in her eyes.
Why did her son come here? Was it a coincidence or did he know something?
She was so nervous that she didn't know what to do.
She could only listen attentively to the noise outside, praying that her son just happened to come to the teahouse and didn't know she was here.
Ning Yuan paused for a moment before saying, "Yes, I have an appointment with someone to discuss something at the teahouse. I didn't expect Minister Jiang to be there too. How about we go together?"
"No, I have something else to do and I'm about to leave."
Jiang Weiyan was afraid that he would notice something unusual and wanted to leave quickly.
"Really? The shopkeeper said there were no private rooms left, and I was feeling sorry. But Minister Jiang has just made room for us, so I won't hesitate."
As he spoke, Ning Yuan took a few steps forward and tried to open the door.
Jiang Weiyan's face turned pale, and he quickly stood in front of him, "Sir Ning, you can't do that."
Yu Sanniang in the house was so frightened that her face turned pale. She didn't know how to explain if her son saw her inside.
If Ning Yuan opened this door, she would be finished.
Ning Yuan looked at Jiang Wei Yan and didn't ask him why he didn't let him in, but asked back.
"Minister Jiang is nervous? Why is he sweating so much?"
Jiang Weiyan lowered his eyes, not daring to look him in the eye. "What's there to be nervous about? Maybe I'm wearing too much today."
"Mr. Ning, I'm so sorry. I have an appointment with someone for tea today. She's still inside. It wouldn't be nice for Mr. Jiang to go in rashly."
He said half-truthfully.
"Really?" Ning Yuan asked thoughtfully, "I wonder if he is an official in the capital. If I know him, I should go visit him and say hello."
"She is not an official, and you don't know her. She doesn't like to see outsiders, so please don't blame her."
Jiang Weiyan hurriedly stopped him, not giving Ning Yuan any chance.
"Since Mr. Ning wants to drink tea, why not wait until another room is available, or choose another teahouse?"
Jiang Weiyan had never been so scared before. When he was caught by Su Wu, he was able to remain calm, but when facing Ning Yuan, he was not sure he could fool him.
Ning Yuan stared at him for a while, then raised his eyes to look at the locked double doors. It was unknown how long it had been before he looked back.
"In that case, I'll go to another teahouse."
After saying that, he turned and left.
Jiang Weiyan waited until he left the restaurant and disappeared before he dared to open the door.
Yu Sanniang was seen sitting on the ground, her face was pale, her forehead was covered with sweat, and she was trembling slightly.
"It's okay. The person is gone. It was just a coincidence that he didn't find anything."
Jiang Weiyan hugged her and comforted her.
"You really didn't notice?" Yu Sanniang looked at him helplessly.
The two of them had been together secretly for so many years and had never been discovered, and no accidents had ever happened.
Everything went smoothly, including when she gave birth to Ruan Hezhu.
Recently, he has been caught again and again. It's okay because Su Wu has Jiang Wei Yan to comfort her.
But if Ning Yuan saw it, there would be no way to deceive him.
"I've been feeling increasingly uneasy lately. Wei Yan, we shouldn't meet for a while. I have a feeling something bad is going to happen."
"Okay, we won't meet in the capital. If you have anything to do, go to Ciqing Temple."
Jiang Weiyan agreed. He was also afraid of the accidents that happened one after another.
He had just started to make progress in the officialdom, and he absolutely could not let anyone find out about his affair with Yu Sanniang.
