Chapter 1990 Gan Yujing's Explanation
Shu Yu was still a little confused. Cheng Jiatong's incident was resolved behind closed doors at the Cheng family yesterday, and it was already evening by the time it was resolved. How could the Gan family be so well-informed that they received the news so early this morning?
Just as she was wondering what was going on, Gan Yujing began to explain.
It turned out that after leaving the restaurant yesterday, Gan Yujing went straight back to her parents' home. She waited until her sister-in-law, Liao, returned before she couldn't help but question her about Gan Ruixiang's visit.
Gan Yujing had always been dissatisfied with Liao Shi, which ultimately stemmed from the incident years ago when Gan Rui was almost harmed by Gan's eldest aunt. Gan Yujing had just gotten married at that time, and after her mother's death, the household affairs fell on Liao Shi's shoulders. As a result, her most beloved fourth brother almost died under Liao Shi's management.
Because of this incident, Gan Yujing not only began to doubt Liao's abilities, but also harbored resentment towards her eldest brother. She even suspected that they were plotting against her fourth brother and trying to seize the Gan family's assets.
However, after so many years, Gan Yujing's thoughts about Liao have changed, and their relationship has eased somewhat.
However, the relationship took a sharp turn for the worse last year because Gan Rui's previous fiancée was introduced to him by Gan Yujing, and she was a relative of her husband's family.
As a result, his fiancée passed away, and the other party spread rumors about Ganryk's wife everywhere, causing the two families to fall out.
Gan Yujing, who acted as the middleman, ended up pleasing neither side and became the target of public criticism.
Gan Yujing had a falling out with her elder brother and sister-in-law, so when she saw that the girl Liao had found for Gan Rui was from the county town and seemed to be in a great hurry, she assumed that the girl was targeting her.
Fortunately, she remained relatively calm and did not barge into the private room when she saw Liao and Shu Yu there.
After returning to her parents' home, she inquired about the other party's identity, only to be told that Meng Han was not someone Liao had found, but rather someone Gan Rui had chosen herself.
Gan Yujing was quite surprised.
Moreover, the Meng family's daughter is not some unknown girl from a humble family. The Meng family just received an imperial plaque during the Spring Festival this year, which is now hanging prominently at the entrance of the Meng Family Escort Agency, making it very impressive.
In this respect alone, the Gan family cannot compare.
Not to mention, Meng Han's cousin is the top scholar Meng Xiucai who passed the imperial examinations last year, and his future cousin-in-law is the currently popular Princess Wen'an.
Although the Gan family was wealthy and Gan Rui was a scholar, making them one of the most prominent families in the prefectural city, their background was not necessarily comparable to that of the Meng family.
Furthermore, since Gan Rui and Meng Han were mutually in love, and Gan Rui had told Gan Yujing that he was determined to marry no one but her, Gan Yujing naturally couldn't object anymore.
Even though she was dissatisfied with her elder brother and sister-in-law, she genuinely loved Gan Rui. The girl she liked was fine, so why would she object?
Gan Yujing immediately set aside her prejudices and harmoniously discussed with Liao the reception of the Meng family and the matter of proposing marriage to the Meng family.
Everything was going smoothly until Gan Yujing returned to her room and noticed that the old woman beside her was acting strangely and kept bringing up Cheng Jiatong.
Gan Yujing found it strange and asked a few more questions. She then noticed the unfamiliar bracelet on the woman's wrist, and her eyelids twitched violently.
Under her threats and interrogation, the old woman finally broke down in tears and confessed everything. She said that she had been bribed by Cheng Jiatong, who not only leaked Gan Yujing's whereabouts but also deliberately sowed discord between Gan Yujing and Liao Shi, all so that Gan Yujing could decide Gan Rui's marriage.
