Chapter 180: Aunt, who is he?
"Aunt, I feel more at ease if you stay in Guancheng and look after the shop. Besides, you know it would be more convenient for me to go alone. I don't have to suffer the hardship of riding a horse."
The eldest aunt laughed out loud: "That's right, but don't waste the opportunity by going there. You're already there, and you still have a lot of good stuff in your space. Take them all there and sell them. See what sells well there. Maybe we can find business opportunities besides tussah silkworms."
"If there are enough tussah silkworms, we can buy a whole mountain!"
With capital, everything becomes easy.
At this point, the aunt suddenly remembered something and hurriedly took out a jade pendant from her purse.
"By the way, Mianmian, you can go to Tunan City and find a man named Tuji. He lives in the south of the city and is a well-known merchant in the city."
"Aunt, who is he?"
"I didn't tell you before because I didn't think it was necessary. But now that you're going, I think it's better to tell you. That way you'll have someone to look after you."
"Tuji is my former adopted son, Jiang Zhen. After I married Jiang Ruohuai, I had nowhere to go for two years. He was the prefect of Mianzhou and was afraid of gossip, so he adopted a son and told everyone that he was my son."
She smiled bitterly and said, "I even pretended to be pregnant for ten months. It's ridiculous to say the least."
"However, this child was sensible and filial to me. But after Dao'er was born, Jiang Ruohuai no longer wanted this adopted son and abandoned him."
"I begged him several times to bring Zhen'er back to the mansion, but Jiang Ruohuai beat him half to death each time. Later, I sent him to be fostered by a maid who had left the mansion, and gave her some money every month. Because of this, Dao'er even resented me."
"Maybe that bastard Jiang Ruohuai instilled bad ideas in Dao'er since he was a child. Of course, the baby born from my belly is not a good thing either!"
After she got into trouble, her own son not only did not show any mercy, but after she killed Jiang Ruhuai, he joined forces with the Jiang family to hunt her down.
Forced it to a place as far away as Guancheng.
She took a deep breath, regained her composure, and continued, "Later, Zhen'er was cornered by the Jiang family, so he left Mianzhou and his whereabouts remain unknown." "It wasn't until the day I was reborn and returned that I happened to receive a letter from him. I discovered that he had now settled in Tunan City, changed his name, and was living a happy life."
"If that's the case, then why didn't Aunt go to Tuji? Why did she choose to be an illegal resident in Guancheng?"
"Mianmian, I'm being relentlessly pursued by the Jiang family, and I'm afraid Tuji will be implicated. I've let that kid down, and I don't want him to be in any danger."
"Look, I don't have any golden fingers. After rebirth, I still live such a cowardly life. I am also angry. Hey, just becoming aggressive is useless. But on the bright side, I killed Jiang Ruohuai with my own hands, and I also felt relieved!"
But Ruan Mian knew that Jiang Dao and Jiang Zhen were both thorns in her heart.
I didn't know it before, but now I understand that behind my aunt's smiling face, there must be a lot of bitterness.
The filial adopted son could not protect himself, and the biological child who was born after suffering ten months of pregnancy became the executioner who wanted to kill him.
No matter who it happens to, these things are chilling.
"Mianmian, don't feel any pressure. If you can find him this time, that would be great. Check on him for me and tell him a few words so he can feel at ease."
"Besides, there's no risk if you go."
Ruan Mian understood her caution and did not force her, but he had already made a decision in his heart.
She smiled slightly and took the jade pendant: "Don't worry, aunt, I will find him."
"Okay, he's a relatively well-known merchant, maybe he can help us with a lot of things. Although you have space, you still have to pay attention to safety."
Ruan Mian wiped her tears and raised his fist to comfort her: "Mission accomplished!"
When the news that she was going to Tunan City reached the ears of the old couple Ruan, Zhang was very worried.
But he knew he couldn't stop her, so he reminded her again and again, and even hurried to pack her bag himself, leaving nothing behind but food and daily necessities.
"Mianmian, the journey is long, you must be careful, but... can Huai'an go with you?"
Ruan Mian was about to shake his head when Xie Huaian's voice suddenly rang out.
"Don't worry, mother. Nothing will happen as long as I'm with Mianmian."
With his words, the two elders of the Ruan family could rest assured.
Ruan Mian looked over with confusion, but she couldn't say it directly in front of her parents.
She had to wait until she left the house before she told the truth.
"Sir, I'm going alone. There's no need for you to accompany me."
God knows she has space in her hands, it would be so nice to ride on a big white tiger.
But Xie Huaian shook his head firmly: "How can I let you, a new bride, travel so far? I am worried, and my family is worried too. What's more, does my wife want me to become the target of public criticism in the village?"
What he said...seems to make some sense.
He was afraid that some people would say that he didn't care about his wife right after getting married, and that he was enjoying a good life at home while letting his wife travel long distances and take risks alone.
After thinking about it, Ruan Mian really felt that he had not thought it through well.
In this case, I can only go with him.
She went to fetch two horses, but Xie Huaian only wanted one: "Why should a husband and wife each ride on one?"
"Why don't we save some energy and take turns riding? Wouldn't it be faster?"
Before Ruan Mian could object, she was pulled onto the horse's back.
The horse rushed out like an arrow.
He didn't know that this horse had been fed with spiritual spring water by Ruan Mian, and it could beat other horses in the same group in terms of speed and endurance.
I ran for half a day without even taking a breath. The journey, which was originally planned to take three days and three nights, was shortened to two days and one night, and I arrived at the gate of Tunan City.
Even Xie Huaian was impressed by this horse.
"This horse looks average, not a top-notch one, but it can run at such a speed. It's truly astonishing."
The horse twitched its ears and suddenly stamped its feet, as if it was dissatisfied with his contempt.
Ruan Mian quickly stroked its mane to ease the atmosphere: "Sir, as the saying goes, you can know a person's face but not his heart. This horse may not know his heart either."
"You can't judge a horse by its appearance! Even those fine horses might not be able to outrun our fine steed, right, good horse?"
The horse grunted and raised its head high, as if responding to Ruan Mian's words.
But Xie Huaian was stunned: "I found that you, Mianmian, are really loved by those animals and livestock."
"No, no, your Excellency is joking."
Just as he was about to wave his hands, a man on fire screamed and rushed into the crowd, scaring a group of people entering the city so much that they stepped back repeatedly, their faces pale.
