Chapter 269 Even the Heavenly Ladder Dares Not Climb
As the Jiang family watched this group of people go up the mountain and settle their carriages and horses, seemingly no longer paying attention to anyone else, their feelings were somewhat complicated.
The eldest aunt didn't seem to think anything of it and said to the people behind her, "Let their family reunite first. We can talk about anything else at the dinner."
Jiang Liubin was still very unhappy. Seeing that Jiang Liuyi had walked more than a hundred meters away, he dared to speak up: "She's just a wild girl who's been raised outside since she was a child. My brother is really something, treating her like a treasure."
Aunt frowned, and cousin Jiang Siying also showed an expression of disapproval.
Seeing that everyone's expressions were off, Chen Xinyue quickly tugged at Jiang Liubin's sleeve: "Okay, stop talking."
Jiang Liubin felt sorry for her situation in the Martial Arts Alliance, so he ultimately gave her face.
However, before shutting up, she still couldn't help but say something sarcastic: "That wild girl can only ride a carriage up the mountain. She doesn't even dare to climb the Heavenly Ladder. Does she deserve to be a member of our Jiang family?"
The so-called "ladder to heaven" refers to the steps leading from the foot of the mountain to the martial arts alliance halfway up the mountain.
Although Mingshan may not be ranked among the famous mountains and rivers of the Great Sheng Empire, it is still nearly two thousand meters long, and due to its slope, the Heavenly Ladder has a total of 999 vertical steps.
These steps are steep and precipitous, nothing to martial arts practitioners, but deadly to ordinary people.
The road forks about ten meters up from the foot of the mountain.
One of them is a steep and precipitous ladder to heaven.
The other road is a mountain road, which is very flat but very long. Even on horseback, it would take half an hour to reach the mountain village.
Jiang Liubin deliberately ignored the fact that Yu Zhiyi had no idea of the difference between the Heavenly Ladder and the Mountain Road, and said things to reassure Chen Xinyue.
After speaking, he looked at the other people, seeking their approval.
Unfortunately, neither the Alliance Leader's wife nor Young Master Jiang nor Miss Jiang paid any attention to him, so he could only seek recognition from Chen Xinyue.
However, no matter what Chen Xinyue was thinking, she couldn't possibly show malice towards Yu Zhiyi in front of so many people. She could only say with a dejected look, "Alright, Liu Bin, stop talking."
Jiang Liubin was very dissatisfied because he did not get the recognition he wanted, but he did not say it to Chen Xinyue: "Sister Xinyue, you are too kind, that's why that wild girl took advantage of you."
Throughout the entire process, Aunt Chen made no comment; she simply gazed at Jiang Yuchuan with affectionate eyes.
Only after the convoy had completely disappeared from sight did she say to Chen Xinyue, "Let's go back too."
The convoy traveled for a full hour before finally reaching the Martial Alliance halfway up the mountain.
Throughout the journey, Yu Zhiyi kept lifting the curtain to look at the feng shui outside.
She discovered that the overall feng shui of Mingshan was excellent, with mountains and water, lush vegetation, and everything exuding vitality.
Can.
Amidst this vibrant scene, the Jiang family members were shrouded in dark energy, with Jiang Liubin even appearing to be surrounded by oppressive clouds.
Even though she couldn't see through the other person's face because of their kinship, she could still tell from the dark and gloomy fortune that Jiang Liubin's death was imminent.
Yu Zhiyi was no naive young woman. Although she had figured things out, the worst thing in interpersonal relationships is to speak too much with someone you don't know well, especially since the attitude of the eldest son's family towards her was still unclear.
Jiang Liubin, in particular, was extremely rude.
She could imagine that if she ran over to him and told him he was about to die, he would be furious and might even hit her.
That man doesn't seem like the type to not hit women.
However, there's no need to hide it from Jiang Yuchuan's lineage.
But there's no rush. Jiang Liubin definitely won't die within two or three days.
Let him suffer a bit first.
Given that person's current bad luck, he'll probably have trouble even drinking water these next few days.

"Pah! What is that?!"
Jiang Liubin took a sip of tea, and somehow a tea leaf got stuck between his teeth.
The tea leaves were very small and thin; they wouldn't hurt if they got stuck, but it was still uncomfortable for him!
He couldn't resist using a toothpick to pick at it, but instead of getting the tea leaves out, he broke his gums and bled profusely.
It didn't hurt, but the smell of blood was disgusting. He vomited for a while before he finally managed to clear the blood from his mouth.
"What terrible luck!" Jiang Liubin angrily threw away the blood-stained toothpick in his hand.
"It must have been that wild girl who caused it!"
Unbeknownst to Jiang Liubin, the dark clouds surrounding him grew even denser the moment he pierced his gums.
Yu Zhiyi was unaware of Jiang Liubin's ordeal. At that time, she had already arrived in front of a small courtyard.
The courtyard was decorated in a very tranquil style.
It's almost December, and the temperature on the mountain is lower than on the plains.
But the courtyard was filled with the fragrance of flowers.
Yu Zhiyi looked around and saw that the yard was planted with some cold-resistant flowers and plants, which could still show vitality even in the coldest weather.
“Your mother is inside the house.”
Finally arriving outside a room, Jiang Yuchuan's voice became tense.
My wife has been depressed for years because of our daughter’s disappearance. Sometimes she even becomes delirious. I wonder if she will be able to return to normal after seeing our daughter.
The Jiang brothers stood on either side of the father and daughter, while the Marquis of Wu'an and the others were left in the courtyard.
Yu Zhiyi stood at the door for a while before pushing it open.
The room was decorated very warmly, but it didn't look like an ordinary person's residence. Instead, it looked like a child's room, with children's things everywhere.
The most eye-catching feature is the cradle directly opposite the door.
To be precise, it was the woman sitting beside the cradle.
The woman was wearing heavy winter clothes, but because she was so thin, she did not look bulky at all. On the contrary, she looked even thinner than a yellow flower.
The door was pushed open, but the woman did not react at all.
The middle-aged aunt standing to the side turned around and glanced back. Her originally ordinary expression suddenly changed when she saw Yu Zhiyi's face. Her pupils widened slightly and her mouth opened wide.
picture!
They look so alike!
This young girl looks exactly like her husband when he was young!
A thought exploded in Aunt Yin's mind, and her eyes instantly welled up with tears. She couldn't help but look at Jiang Yuchuan beside her and ask him silently.
Jiang Yuchuan nodded.
When he wrote home, he specifically instructed that he should not tell his wife about the matter yet.
Over the years, my wife's consciousness has fluctuated between lucidity and confusion. The doctor said she can no longer withstand even the slightest stimulation.
In order to prevent the condition from worsening due to a long wait, Jiang Yuchuan decided to bring the person back directly to his wife.
In order to keep the news completely hidden, he didn't even inform Aunt Yin.
Aunt Yin covered her mouth.
After a moment, he remembered something, quickly wiped away his tears, and excitedly called out to the woman in front of him, "Madam, Master has brought Miss back!"
