Chapter 1460 It was actually Jiang Kuanyu
"You've seen him?"
A Ning nodded. "They look somewhat familiar."
As A Ning spoke, the scroll was fully opened, revealing the portrait on the paper.
The next moment, Shu Yu's eyes narrowed suddenly, and she blurted out, "Jiang Kuanyu??"
"You know Second Sister?"
Before Shu Yu could answer, Meng Yunzheng realized what was happening. "Is this the Young Master Jiang you mentioned who sold you the estate and those hundreds of acres of land?"
Shu Yu nodded, "It's him."
Ah Ning remembered too, "Oh, it was him, the young master who came to visit Xiao Ya'er at our house last time, right?"
She said it herself, the portrait looked somewhat familiar.
When Xiaoya's grandfather was murdered, Xiaoya herself was also injured and became withdrawn and didn't like to talk anymore. It was Aning who kept her company, talking and chatting with her, which helped her slowly recover.
At that time, Jiang Kuanyu had just sold the estate and land to Shu Yu, but he was still the owner when Xiao Ya'er's grandfather was murdered. Therefore, he had to help handle the funeral arrangements for the old man of the Cui family, so he followed Shu Yu to the county government office.
Ah Ning had only seen him once, and didn't even know his name.
Therefore, after Young Master Tan finished painting the picture and mentioned its name, Ah Ning had no recollection of it at all.
But when Meng Yunzheng mentioned the former owner of the manor, she knew.
Shu Yu's expression was somewhat solemn at this moment. She frowned as she looked at the portrait on the scroll and asked, "What is the relationship between Jiang Kuanyu and Young Master Tan?"
“They are good friends,” A Ning quickly said. “Young Master Tan said that although Jiang Kuanyu is five or six years older than him, their families have a good relationship, so they are also good friends.”
The Jiang and Tan families both live in the prefectural city and have little business competition with each other.
However, unlike the Tan family, Jiang Kuanyu has taken over part of the Jiang family's business.
Unlike Young Master Tan, Jiang Kuanyu didn't take the imperial examinations. Instead, he diligently managed his shop and did quite well in it.
Two years ago, when Tan Dashao was under a lot of pressure preparing for her exams, Jiang Kuanyu made a special trip to visit her and took her to the estate to relax.
Ah Ning tilted her head and asked, "Second Sister, could this estate be the one that was sold to you?"
"Perhaps." Shu Yu wasn't sure. After all, with the Jiang family's wealth, they probably owned more than just one estate. She looked up and asked, "What did Jiang Kuanyu do that made Young Master Tan suspect him?"
"Hmm... Young Master Tan said that when he went to the estate to relax, he saw a hill nearby and wanted to climb up and take a look." Ah Ning was quite certain that the estate was the one her second sister had bought, because there was indeed a hill nearby.
But she didn't know what was strange about that mountain, while Shu Yu and Meng Yunzheng's expressions changed at the same time—that mountain was the black market.
"Then what?"
Ah Ning, "Then Young Master Tan really went to that mountain, but Jiang Kuanyu wasn't there at the time. Young Master Tan went by himself, but he said that when he climbed halfway up the mountain, he found someone guarding the mountain and not letting him in. Young Master Tan had no choice but to come down reluctantly. After coming down the mountain, he happened to run into Jiang Kuanyu who was looking for him. Jiang Kuanyu seemed very nervous at the time."
"Young Master Tan quietly told Jiang Kuanyu that there was something wrong with that mountain. Not only were there people guarding it, but two people who looked like they were not ordinary had also gone up the mountain. Jiang Kuanyu's expression was a little off at the time. He pulled him back, but he returned to normal afterward. The next day, when he sent him back to the city for the exam, he even wished him good results."
As A Ning spoke, her eyes lit up, "Second Sister, is there really a problem on that mountain?"
