After comforting Yu Sanniang, Jiang Weiyan left. He also paid special attention and found that there was no trace of Ning Yuan nearby, so he felt relieved.
But he didn't know that Ning Yuan was watching him on the second floor of a blacksmith shop not far from the teahouse.
When he saw Jiang Weiyan leaving, his eyes darkened, but he did not leave with him.
Instead, he kept looking in the direction of the teahouse until half an hour later, when he saw that familiar figure walking out of the teahouse.
His heart, which had been hanging in the air, finally died completely.
He closed his eyes in despair. He hoped that he was dazzled and that the person was not his mother.
But the reality is so cruel, his mother and Jiang Wei Yan have an improper relationship.
He was sure that there was something fishy going on between the two of them.
He walked on the street in a daze, he didn't know when the two of them started.
He also didn't understand why his mother did this.
Is it because she is often busy with official duties and neglects to care for her mother, while her father is always wandering around with other women, so she is too lonely.
But then he shook his head. Although his father had many concubines, the person he loved and respected the most was his mother.
As long as his mother said a word, he would definitely stay by her side.
On the contrary, it was his mother who often pushed his father away, and he always knew that his mother had no love for his father.
He thought it was not important, as long as the two of them could live a stable life together.
Most couples respect each other, but few are as loving as my aunt and uncle.
He thought his mother and father were normal, but it turned out that he had never seen clearly.
"Yuan'er, Yuan'er, what's wrong with you?"
A gentle voice brought him back to his senses. He looked up and saw Yu Shulan looking at him with a worried look on her face.
She was holding a soft and cute baby girl in her arms.
"Auntie, Wanwan, why are you here?"
"Wanwan is almost a year old, and I brought her here to make some jewelry. What's wrong with you?"
Yu Shulan had never seen him like this before. He looked as if he had suffered some kind of blow.
Jiang Qingluo was a little confused at first, but suddenly an idea flashed in her mind.
[Cousin, I wonder if he has discovered what happened between Yu Sanniang and Third Uncle.]
[I remember that in the book, my cousin was the first to discover this matter, but in order to protect his mother's reputation, he kept it a secret.]
Unfortunately, he has been avoiding this matter painfully, unwilling to investigate his mother. Otherwise, he would have discovered Ruan Hezhu's identity and protected his family from being murdered.
[It was not until he was demoted that he realized Ruan Hezhu was his half-sister. However, by then, Ruan Hezhu was already so powerful that he had no way to deal with her.]
[With all this pain and struggle, he died in a remote county town, depressed and depressed.]
[He must have just discovered Yu Sanniang and Jiang Weiyan.]
The book only briefly mentioned this matter, and she was not sure whether her guess was correct.
But apart from this incident, she couldn't think of anything else that could make Ning Yuan, who was always steady, become so distraught.
In order to confirm whether Jiang Qingwan's guess was correct, Yu Shulan asked.
"What has your mother been busy with recently? I haven't seen her for a long time."
Sure enough, when Ning Yuan heard her mention Yu Sanniang, he was obviously stunned and his expression became unnatural.
"Uh... I've been busy with official business lately, so I don't know what my mother is doing."
It was the first time that Yu Shulan saw him look so fragile and helpless, and she couldn't help but feel distressed.
He has always been upright, and when he found out that his mother had done something wrong but couldn't expose her, he must have been extremely distressed.
"Child, you're always preoccupied with official duties. Haven't you had a rest in a while? It's getting late. Don't be busy today. Go to your aunt's house. Your aunt will make you your favorite hazelnut pastry."
When Ning Yuan was young, Yu Sanniang often took him to Jiang's house. Ning Yuan liked to follow Jiang Chuyuan and call him brother.
My favorite is the hazelnut pastry made by Yu Shulan.
However, he never ate it again after Yu Shulan went to the border.
He couldn't remember what it tasted like.
Thinking of these past events, he felt a pang of sadness in his heart.
"Okay, then I'll go to my aunt's house for dinner."
Ning Yuan's arrival surprised the Jiang family.
Ning Yuan was a little embarrassed for a moment. He has never been a talkative person, and at this moment he didn't know what to say.
Jiang Chuyuan, the only one who was somewhat familiar with him, approached him and said happily.
"Cousin, you haven't come home for dinner for a long time. I was wondering why mom cooked for me today. It turned out to be for you."
"Thanks to you, I can eat the hazelnut pastry made by my mother again."
"Hazelnut pastry, my mother can also make hazelnut pastry, I didn't know it."
Jiang Dingbei said in surprise.
Jiang Chuyuan raised his eyebrows and said proudly, "This hazelnut pastry is exclusive to my cousin, so you naturally can't have it."
"Mother is so partial. You all want your own lotus seed soup for big brother, peach blossom cake for big sister, and hazelnut pastry for big cousin, but I don't have any."
He was the one who had been with his mother the longest, but he had nothing.
"I…"
[Neither do I.]
Jiang Qingwan raised her little hands with a sad face. Her mother didn't let her eat anything, so wouldn't she be even more miserable?
"Wanwan, it's not that you don't have it. You're still too young and can't eat many things yet. Once your teeth grow in, you'll be able to eat them naturally."
Jiang Qingluo tapped her nose lovingly, "Besides, do you have a favorite food?"
"Um?"
Jiang Qingwan was thinking about what her favorite food was, but she liked so many things that she couldn't choose.
Why should she choose? Can't she have both?
Seeing her troubled expression, everyone in the room laughed.
Ning Yuan also smiled knowingly and felt a lot more relaxed.
It seemed like he was back in his childhood, and only here could he feel at home.
This place is warm and happy, completely different from the cold and calculating Tong Ning family.
He has no brothers or sisters with the same father and mother, only half brothers and half sisters.
But since childhood, they have either been calculating towards me or afraid to please me, and they are not like family members at all.
His father was busy with his affairs, and his mother was busy with something else. Anyway, apart from asking him to do better and not lose to Jiang Chuyuan, she had no intention of taking care of him.
They all seemed to be very busy, and he could only get their attention by studying hard and passing the imperial examinations.
Fortunately, solving cases and catching criminals is what he likes to do. He enjoys it and does not feel any pain.
When he grew up, he didn't seem to care about their attitude. They had their own things to do, and he was busier than them.
It was rare for the three of them to sit down and eat together.
Even when they sit together, they are almost always silent.
They should be the closest people to you, but you treat them like strangers.
