Chapter 1475 Master Tan's Persuasion
Having learned everything she needed to know, Shu Yu let out a breath, stood up, and said to the Tan family father and son, "I didn't expect Jiang Kuanyu to have an accident. It seems that even if I wanted to know what was wrong with that estate, it would be impossible. I can only go back and investigate myself."
Master Tan comforted her, "Miss Lu, don't worry too much. Jiang Kuanyu was probably in a hurry to sell, and he lowered the price because you are a lady."
Shu Yu smiled. "I hope so. Now that they're all gone, there's nothing I can do even if I want to know. Alright, it's getting late, I have to go."
Master Tan originally wanted to invite her to stay for dinner, but Shu Yu said that her mother was waiting for her at the inn, so he didn't try to persuade her to stay any longer.
He told Tan Cheng to go back to his room to rest, and then saw Shu Yu out the door.
Just as they were about to reach the screen wall, Master Tan hesitated for a moment before saying, "Lord Lu, you..."
Shu Yu knew that Master Tan's hesitant manner just now meant that he must have something to say.
She stopped and turned to the side with a smile, "Mr. Tan, please speak frankly."
“You… sigh, I just want to advise you not to continue investigating Jiang Kuanyu’s matter. If you’re really worried that there’s something wrong with that estate, then just sell it.”
As Master Tan spoke, he lowered his voice, "You should know from Doctor Zhao that Cheng was poisoned by Jiang Kuanyu because he almost accidentally wandered into the black market. You don't know, the black market has enormous power behind it, which neither you nor I can shake. If you continue to investigate, you might not be able to protect yourself. This time, Jiang Kuanyu's fall off the cliff was very suspicious in itself. I suspect that it was the black market that did it, trying to kill him to silence him. I'm wondering why he would move his whole family away from Dong'an Prefecture. Perhaps it was also to avoid the black market."
Shu Yu was taken aback. It wasn't surprising that Master Tan had such a guess; he genuinely believed that Jiang Kuanyu was dead.
I never expected him to say these things to me.
She paused for a moment, then nodded. "I understand."
Master Tan sighed, "We can't afford to offend the black market. Ah Cheng almost lost his life, how could I accept that? But I know my own abilities. Going against the black market would not only harm Ah Cheng, but the entire Tan family. So, with Jiang Kuanyu dead, let's consider it all settled. Let's end this here."
Shu Yu knew that Master Tan meant well, so she smiled and said, "Alright, I'll pretend I don't know anything about Jiang Kuanyu. He's just a businessman who sold the estate to me."
Mr. Tan smiled. "Yes, that's it."
After leaving the Tan family, Shu Yu boarded the carriage and bid farewell to Master Tan before the smile on her face faded.
She sighed with some worry, not wanting to get involved and wanting the matter to end there.
She didn't want to get involved, but the other party wouldn't let them off the hook.
If the Second Prince really gains power, none of them will have an easy time.
"Yingxi, let's go back to the inn."
"yes."
When the carriage arrived at the inn, Nguyen and Aunt A-Xiang had already returned.
Compared to before, Aunt Xiang's smile has become much more relaxed, it seems that her mind has shifted to the clothes.
"Ayu is back? Come in quickly, I'll have the waiter bring the food up."
Shu Yu sat down on the couch and listened to the two chattering about their ideas on clothing styles. The frustration she felt after hearing the bad news at the Tan family's house that afternoon lessened considerably.
She quickly joined in, and the three of them chatted until late before finally resting.
