Chapter 204 A Secret in Exchange
It turned out that Wei Jingrou only knew a small part about her stepmother, Qiao.
Not only had this Qiao secretly loved Wei Dadu Hu before Wei Jingrou's biological mother married him, but even the death of Wei Jingrou's biological mother was related to her.
This was originally a private matter of the Wei family and had nothing to do with Jiang Tangtang. Even if she sympathized with Wei Jingrou's experience, she would not interfere in the Wei family's private affairs.
But now the two sides are in a hostile relationship. If Lingnan is finally occupied by the Wei family, all their previous efforts will be in vain.
In order to survive, Jiang Tangtang had to take advantage of it.
Seeing Jiang Tangtang reading the letter for a long time, the children couldn't help but ask anxiously, "Mom, what did Daddy say?"
Jiang Tangtang smiled and said, "How are your studies going? Have you fallen behind in your martial arts training while he's been away?"
Upon hearing this, several children showed a guilty look on their faces.
The novelty of being on the island, and the fact that they had mastered certain poison techniques, made the children much bolder. They would often hide from the adults at home and go to the beach to catch crabs and fish, or explore the jungle.
With Su and Doctor Xue urging them on, they didn't neglect their literacy and medical knowledge. But with Lu Shiyan and Lu Shili absent, they inevitably slacked off in martial arts training.
If Jiang Tangtang hadn't mentioned it, no one would have remembered this.
Looking at their expressions, Jiang Tangtang knew what was going on. However, she couldn't bear to blame them.
It's really hard for these kids to learn so many subjects at such a young age, so they deserve to relax.
"Okay, don't worry about your father, let's go see if there's anything delicious, and mom will make you a big meal."
After Jiang Tangtang finished speaking, the children cheered and started talking about their favorite dishes.
Some people said they wanted to eat shrimp balls, some wanted to eat seafood hotpot, and some wanted to eat cake...
In fact, given the Lu family's current conditions, they already have a dedicated cook at home. Moreover, this cook learned her craft at a pastry shop, and the food she cooks is more skilled than that of ordinary cooks.
But compared with the food cooked by Jiang Tangtang, it is still far inferior.
Several people were as happy as if it were New Year's Day.
Jiang Tangtang hadn't cooked for a while, so she was interested and went to the backyard to pick out ingredients.
One good thing about the island is that it has an abundance of seafood.
There were a lot of fish and shrimps in the big water tank in the backyard. They were caught by the soldiers on the island and the refugees at sea in the morning and sent over.
The shrimps were all very big, longer than her palm, and the fish were also very plump.
There were also several king crabs.
Jiang Tangtang couldn't help but drool.
It’s great to live on an island.
No, it’s great to be an island owner!
While Jiang Tangtang was sighing about how good it was to be the island owner and happily enjoying the food, in the Wei Mansion, a man with a scar on his face was talking to Wei Haohan.
"Grand Protector, my elder brother and I have been to the pirates' deserted island before, and I know its location. The Lu family is hiding on that island now. If you can capture the island, the Lu family will be your hostages. By then, even that little Lu Shiyan who hasn't even grown all his hair will obey you."
Wei Haohan raised his eyebrows and glanced at him, saying, "You want to borrow my knife to avenge the Ying family, right?"
"I admit that I want to avenge the Ying family. But Grand Protector, don't you want to deal with that kid from the Lu family?"
The scarred man said, "He now controls the three states of Li, Ya, and Qiong. Add to that the territory adjacent to Nanyue, and his power is growing stronger day by day. Sooner or later, he will attack the Wei family. Why don't you take this opportunity to capture him first?"
Wei Haohan asked, "What good will it bring me if you ask me to avenge the Ying family?"
"Grand Protector, you are aware that my Ying family has suffered a great disaster. Now, except for me, the only one who escaped, the entire Ying family has been wiped out."
The hatred on the man's face made the scar on his face look even more hideous. "I really don't have anything to offer you, but I can tell you a secret related to the Lu family in exchange."
