Chapter 253: A good trick
Liuying packed all the luggage as quickly as possible and moved them onto the carriage loaded with supplies. Liuyun also went and came back quickly. In less than half an hour, they were ready and were ready to set off.
Su Wan seemed even more anxious than Jiang Yu. He pulled him downstairs, fearing that they would be too late to see Jiang Yu's grandfather.
At this moment, she was filled with admiration, worry and anticipation. She really wanted to see what the ruthless man in the original novel who founded Fengyue Villa on his own looked like.
Is he serious, tall, and bearded? Or is he shrewd and gentle, with an air of immortality? Or perhaps, cold, sharp, and unsmiling?
But the original novel says that Jiang Yu is most like Jiang Zhen, the leader of Fengyue Villa, not in terms of appearance, but only in terms of his behavior.
Jiang Yu’s grandfather probably possesses all these qualities!
Everything was ready in the carriage, including food, drinks and daily necessities. In case Su Wan was bored, there was a stack of storybooks on the small coffee table, all of which contained different melodramatic folk stories.
When it comes to details, Jiang Yu can be said to be meticulous.
When leaving the city, there were two carriages in total, and eight guards followed on both sides. After leaving the city gate, I found that there were about thirty people waiting outside the city, all of them were guards on horseback with swords.
There was also a baggage cart specially used to carry horse feed. All of this was prepared in just two hours after receiving the letter.
Jiang Yu was probably silent along the way because of his grandfather's matter. He didn't say a word, with his eyebrows lowered and no one knew what he was thinking.
Su Wan could empathize with him, but she shouldn't say too much to disturb him now. He has a lot of things to think about right now, so it's better to wait until he is alone before talking!
After leaving the city and getting on the official road, the carriage began to speed up.
"Wanwan, the road will be a bit rushed and bumpy. I'm sorry to have troubled you. If you feel uncomfortable, remember to tell me. We can stop and rest at any time."
Because he was in a hurry to go back to see his grandfather, Jiang Yu had no choice but to let her suffer with him for the time being.
"I'm fine. How could I be so fragile? Let's hurry back to see your grandfather first."
Su Wan is not that pretentious. Business is important and one must know the priorities.
Seeing that she was so sensible, Jiang Yu reached out and gently pinched her cheek.
"Thank you, Wanwan. Thank you for your understanding."
"What's there to thank me for? You should be more open-minded and stop being so anxious."
He always takes good care of his emotions, which is good enough.
Su Wan moved closer to him and sat down next to him. The two of them were walking in opposite directions, each taking care of the other's emotions. All she could do now was to accompany him quietly.
Jiang Yu didn't have much time to be sad. Soon he took out a topographic map and started studying it.
He looked at it for a long time, frowning as if thinking about something. Finally, he opened the car window and instructed the guards outside:
"Go around the Strange Rock Forest and head to Jade Peak Mountain. Send a pigeon to Fengying, asking him to meet up at Jade Peak Mountain and bring more people with him."
"Yes, young master!" The guards received the order and went to prepare.
Now that the old sect leader is seriously ill, he has not yet personally announced Jiang Yu as the next sect leader of Fengyue Villa. This is the last chance for Yu Wushang to take the position. If he can drag the old sect leader to death, he will be the only son in name and should be the first heir. In addition, he has many supporters in Fengyue Villa. As long as Jiang Yu is stopped, he will be the new sect leader for sure.
It would be best if Jiang Yu died immediately, then there would be no threat at all.
Even if Duke Jiang comes to settle the score later, he will definitely not choose to destroy Fengyue Villa for the sake of his deceased wife. This is the hard work of his father-in-law, and Fengyue Villa has been a complex force in the martial arts world for so many years, and it cannot be destroyed casually.
As long as he becomes the sect leader, he will have the capital to confront Duke Jiang. At most, he will have one more enemy. Besides, there is no evidence. Who can prove that he killed Jiang Yu?
Even if you want to fight, you have to find a legitimate reason.
What a good strategy!
Su Wan knew that Jiang Yu was brainstorming and avoiding his opponent's ambush. The original novel did not mention anything about Jiang Yu in Fengyue Villa. He appeared only a few times, and when he appeared in the middle and late stages, he was already the master of Fengyue Villa.
So, she didn't know what to remind him to be wary of, and Jiang Yu completely blocked her God's perspective.
"Wanwan, there will be many obstacles and dangers ahead. Are you afraid?"
Jiang Yu put his arm around her shoulders and let her lean on him. He had to talk to her in advance so that she could be prepared.
"Who wants to harm you?" Su Wan asked.
"He's my uncle!" Jiang Yu was ready to tell her about his situation in Fengyue Villa and didn't intend to hide it.
"Why did your uncle want to harm you?" After hearing this, Su Wan couldn't help but look up at him in surprise.
"He is not my biological son. He was adopted by my grandfather. When he was found, there was a note with the word 'Yu' written on it in his arms. So my grandfather named him Yu Wushang and brought him back to the Fengyue Villa, which was founded by my grandfather. He taught him martial arts and raised him.
I don't know why my uncle hates me so much. My grandfather said that he and my mother had a very good relationship when they were young, and so did Uncle He, your third brother's master. The three of them grew up together, but I don't know why. Since I have been with my grandfather, my uncle has been very nice to me in front of others, but later I found out that he often tried to kill me behind my back. I once asked him why, but he denied it and still looked so kind that sometimes I couldn't tell if I was wrong.
Until last year, I was chased to Yangaoao and almost lost my life. Fortunately, you and my second brother saved me. I was not destined to die. After returning, I conducted a thorough investigation and finally confirmed that the mastermind behind the incident was him, my uncle who is not related to me by blood.
"He wants to compete with you for the inheritance of Fengyue Villa, right?" Su Wan felt sad when she heard this. Jiang Yu always had to face a smiling tiger. Under the mask of kindness was a beast that wanted him dead all the time.
If he did all this not for power, then what was he doing it for?
"Yes, my grandfather was in good health a few years ago, but he suddenly became ill and became increasingly weak. Doctor Sun couldn't find the cause. He suspected it was poison, but he didn't know what it was, so he could only use medicine to help him recover. I searched every corner around my grandfather, from the people who served him to the meals he ate, and checked everything, but still couldn't find any clues.
Originally, before I left for Xiangzhou, my grandfather's condition was under control, so I left with peace of mind, but in the end..."
Jiang Yu didn't say anything else. Later she found out that he had suddenly fallen ill and there was no way he could be saved.
"Do you suspect that it was your uncle who has no blood relationship with you who did this?
But he didn't even let go of his father who had raised him?" Su Wan frowned, unable to understand.
Although she and Mrs. Gu and Mr. Gu had raised each other, she knew that no matter how bad the situation with Gu Yue became, she would not have any bad intentions towards them. This was a respect for the original owner.
