Xu Jiang couldn't help herself just now because she was still frightened and aggrieved. When she saw the concern and love of the Lou couple, she felt like a child who had been in trouble outside and couldn't hold back when she saw the adults at home.
However, after this conversation, she felt calmer and her mood stabilized. However, seeing Mrs. Lou's serious expression and eyes full of worry and concern, she felt a little apologetic and embarrassed.
"I'm sorry to have worried you."
Mrs. Lou patted her hands and asked, "What happened?"
Since the truth had been revealed in front of the couple, hiding it would only make them more worried. Xu Jiang briefly sorted out the matter and told Mrs. Lou in a simple and clear manner how Xu Twelve had threatened her with the whereabouts of her biological parents and asked her to redeem him.
Mrs. Lou was both distressed and angry, but she quickly calmed down and discussed with her, "So what are your plans now?"
"I originally thought that since they abandoned me back then, they had severed all ties with me. Who they are now, where they are, whether they're doing well or not, has nothing to do with me, and I don't want to know."
Xu Jiang's eyes were filled with confusion. "But when he said that name, I knew I couldn't let it go."
"What's her name?"
"Miancun." Saying this name again, Xu Jiang felt a strange feeling in his heart, as if he had known her for a long time, yet it was a little strange. "She is an old friend of my master."
She first learned this name from a portrait of her master, which she had copied, restored, and mounted. She was very familiar with every inch of the painting and could even describe the person in the painting with her eyes closed.
If she was really her biological mother, then what was her relationship with the master? Was it a coincidence or intentional that the master picked her up?
She didn't dare to think too deeply about it, for she was afraid that the truth would be too much for her to bear.
"Are you going to agree to Xu Twelve's request?"
"If you want to know the truth, you have no choice but to agree to him." If she was just an irrelevant person, it would be fine, but she had some connection with the master, so she had to find out the truth.
She still remembered being punished by her master for soiling the painting, and many years later, he still kept it carefully.
If it was an ordinary portrait, he would never treasure it so much, nor would he seal it together with his masterpiece and let Xu Jiang take it away before he passed away.
He is a person who doesn't even have a memorial tablet for himself.
"This person is so hateful." Madam Lou has never cared about worldly affairs and has a cold temperament, but she often gets angry about Xu Jiang's affairs.
Xu Jiang felt guilty, but also touched and warmed.
If this was her mother, how nice it would be...
No, that wouldn't work. Then there would be nothing for her and Zhaoyue to do. This is good enough for now.
"Aunt, you are a pure cultivator. There is no need to get angry over such a person. Even if I say his name, I would be dirtying my mouth and polluting your ears." Xu Jiang consoled her, "Don't worry, I will find a way to deal with this matter."
She knew very well what Xu Twelve wanted. He wanted a good identity and some money to support himself.
She can give it and can afford it, but she doesn't want to give it so easily and let him get it so easily.
She needs to think carefully before responding.
"What about her?" Mrs. Lou asked again.
Xu Jiang suppressed her emotions and tried to appear calm. "I just want to know the truth, nothing else."
Xu Twelve said that the person was still alive, but was seriously ill. Xu Jiang didn't know whether it was a lie he made up to force her or it was true. She didn't care, and it was not her turn to care.
They have their own families.
Madam Lou sighed softly and held her in her arms, "If you don't want it, then don't have it. We don't need it anyway."
These words made Xu Jiang burst into tears again.
Yes, she has nothing to lack. First she had Mrs. Lin, and then she had Mrs. Lou. She is content.
Thinking of Madam Lin, Xu Jiang thought of Master Lin. He was an old friend of the master, and maybe he might have some clues. Xu Jiang made up his mind to go to Nanshan Academy tomorrow.
After talking with Mrs. Lou, Xu Jiang felt relieved.
After finishing her meal and drinking tea, Yin Yin saw that her complexion had improved a lot, so she told her that Lou Jing was waiting for her in the study.
Xu Jiang knew that Lou Jing must have come to see her for this matter, so she temporarily said goodbye to Mrs. Lou, packed herself up, and went to the study to find Lou Jing.
————Dividing Line————
"Are you here?" The study door was open. Lou Jing saw Xu Jiang coming and waved, "Come in."
As soon as Xu Jiang entered the room, she saw a copy of "Tracing the Origins of Cultural Heritage" in front of Lou Jing. Her eyes fell on it and did not move away for a long time.
Lou Jing asked directly, "Are you going to the Dali Temple because those restless members of the Xu family are causing trouble again?"
"You know." I guess he asked Yin Yin.
Lou Jing asked, "What are they planning to do?" He glanced at the "Tracing the Origin of Cultural Traces" in front of him and asked, "Is it related to your master?"
"To be precise, it has something to do with me." Xu Jiang told Lou Jing about her life experience.
After hearing this, Lou Jing slammed the table and stood up, angrily saying, "This despicable and shameless person! If I had known he would be so restless, I should have kicked him out of the capital."
"Since he holds this matter in his hands, even if you throw him to the ends of the earth, he will still find it. Since you can't avoid it, then face it calmly."
Xu Jiang lowered her eyes. "Actually, this is a good thing. Once we get to the bottom of this, the past can be put to rest."
She can also truly and thoroughly break away from the Xu family and the past.
When Xu Jiang first heard about this, she was stunned as if she had been hit by a heavy hammer. But now she thought that this was an opportunity given by God to let her figure out where she came from, to let her figure out the origin of her relationship with her master, and to let her see what kind of person brought her into this world.
