The reason he didn't speak directly was because he had just severely reprimanded him in the main hall that day, and he didn't want to slap himself in the face again.

As a granddaughter, she naturally cannot blame her grandfather. Wei Hanshuang stopped at the point, and Wei Hanzhang was not stupid either, so he understood it immediately.

She thought to herself, my mother didn't even tell her and kept her at home for so long.

After chatting with the soon-to-be-married Wei Hanshuang for a long time, he returned to Jingya Hall and saw Jiang's most capable nanny standing outside the room with red eyes. His heart skipped a beat.

What happened again? Seeing Wei Hanzhang coming back, Madam Zhou bowed slightly and lifted the curtain for her.

Inside the room, Jiang sat alone, with traces of tears still on her face, obviously she had been crying.

Wei Hanzhang stepped forward and took her hand: "Mom, why are you crying again?"

Jiang looked at her in astonishment and murmured, "I just received a letter from Xuzhou. Your uncle was involved in the Jiangnan corruption case. Now your grandfather's family has been escorted to Beijing for trial.

As if she had just come to her senses, she suddenly cried out in pain: "Ran Ran, the Jiang family is going to be gone."

Wei Hanzhang felt like he had been hit by a club.

Is the Jiang family going to be destroyed? Living in Xuzhou, even if she was raised in seclusion, she had heard about the dangers of the Jiangnan corruption case. Not to mention the distant past, the Cao family was overthrown because of this case. No official involved in this case could be safe.

She stood there motionless for a while, and her first reaction was disbelief: "My uncle is just a fifth-rank official with no real power. How could he be involved in such a big case?"

Even if you ask for help from God and really want to embezzle money, you have to have the ability to do so, right?

It's not that Wei Hanzhang looks down on her uncle, it's just that the uncle of the Jiang family is a man with great ambitions but little talent, and he is timid and cowardly. Wei Hanzhang, his niece, doesn't know whether he is greedy for money or not, but it's true that he is lustful.

Among her three uncles, only her eldest uncle has the most concubines in the backyard. Fortunately, he married a good wife. Madam Jiang used tough means to control those concubines, otherwise there would have been a fire in the backyard long ago.

It is unbelievable that such an uncle would be involved in the Jiangnan corruption case. In terms of strength and courage, he is not qualified.

"Your uncle doesn't have the ability to do that with his official position, but with your grandfather's reputation, it's hard to say."

Speaking of her brother, Jiang showed disgust on her face: "Such an uneducated man, just because he is the eldest son in the family, he is promoted to an official position. Now he has implicated the whole family. What should we do?"

"Don't worry, mother," Wei Hanzhang suppressed his anxiety and comforted her, "Gu Yunran will arrive in the capital in a few days. His father is the governor of Xuzhou, so he should know the inside story. Ask him when the time comes."

Jiang's expression did not relax: "Your grandparents are both nearly seventy years old. The journey was bumpy. I wonder if they were put in shackles when they were taken to the capital. If so..."

Before she finished her words, Jiang couldn't continue. She was worried about her elderly parents at home and looked anxious.

When Wei Heng entered the room, he saw the mother and daughter in this state, and was stunned for a moment. Before he could say anything, Jiang walked over and said in a hurry: "Husband..."

As soon as he saw Wei Heng, Wei Hanzhang finally understood why Jiang was divorced in the original novel.

Logically speaking, Jiang had been married into the Wei family for more than 20 years and had given birth to one son and two daughters. Even if her offspring died out later, as long as her mother's family was still there, she should not have become an abandoned woman.

So, the Jiang family actually fell in the original book?

As a result, Jiang had been married for twenty years and was divorced, but no one could stand up for her.

In her ears, Jiang was telling Wei Heng about the sudden changes in her mother's family, and she asked her husband to help her think of a solution.

Wei Hanzhang stood by and listened quietly, but he couldn't bear to listen any more.

She knew the result. She knew that Wei Heng would stay in Yue's family. After his legitimate sons met with accidents one after another, he would divorce his legitimate wife regardless of their years of love.

After being divorced, Jiang became homeless, so she went to the ancestral temple of the Marquisate to keep Wei Hanyue company. The mother and daughter spent the rest of their lives in the Buddhist temple.

Wei Hanzhang wanted to change this outcome, but now he has no way to do anything.

Something has happened to her elder sister Wei Hanyue, and she can't change it. The Jiang family is facing disaster and she currently can't find a way to save her.

My younger brother Wei Yunpei will get into trouble in this cold winter. Whether it was an accident or man-made is still unknown. But for this matter, there is still time to deal with it.

That night, Wei Hanzhang tossed and turned, his mind full of thoughts about the Jiang family.

When she left Xuzhou, her eldest cousin's wedding was less than ten days away. She didn't know whether the incident happened in the Jiang family after her wedding or before the wedding.

If they got married, it would be fine. It would not be a crime of genocide and the daughter who married out would not be implicated. The only thing I am afraid is that something happened to the Jiang family before the marriage.

Then Jiang Zhixue, as the eldest daughter of my uncle, is very likely to become the second Cao Xinrou.

Will she also join the Jiaofangsi and become an official prostitute? …………

The next day, Wei Hanzhang, who was suffering from a severe headache, got up and went to pay his respects to Jiang.

Before the mother and daughter said a few words, a maid from Liu's room came over and said that there was a visitor.

Jiang was startled. After asking carefully, she found out that it was the mistress of the Gu family who came with her eldest son. They were already meeting the Marquis's wife Liu in the main courtyard.

"Gu Yunran is here?" Wei Hanzhang was slightly surprised, and then said, "He didn't even tell me when he came to the capital."

"Don't wrongly accuse me. According to the date, the Gu family will probably arrive in the capital in just one or two days." Jiang held her daughter's hand and said softly, "Let's go. I'll go meet this son-in-law too."

Jiang's guess was correct. The Gu family just arrived in Beijing yesterday, and today they came to the Wei Mansion to hand in a visiting card, which shows how much they value this marriage with the Marquis' Mansion.

Main courtyard.

Madam Liu and the eldest daughter-in-law Qian were greeting the Gu family together.

They had known about Wei Hanzhang's marriage to the Gu family for a long time, and they also knew that the master of the Gu family had returned to the capital in response to the prince's transfer order. If nothing unexpected happened, the Gu family would be the next upstarts in the court.

Everyone in the family was extremely satisfied with this marriage. Seeing that the Gu family also attached great importance to it, their smiles became even more pronounced, and both the host and the guests were delighted.

Before Wei Hanzhang entered the house, he heard Gu Yunran's reply and stopped in his tracks.

Jiang tilted her head to look at her, pursed her lips and smiled, then lifted the curtain and walked in.

As soon as she arrived, there was another round of greetings.

Jiang looked at the tall and graceful young man in front of her who saluted her, and she breathed a sigh of relief. As expected, her delicate little daughter had good taste.

This young master of the Gu family is handsome, with very good facial features and polite words and deeds. It is said that he is already a candidate for the imperial examination at a young age. If he can pass the imperial examination in the future, he will not need to rely on his family to be an official, and he can also enter the officialdom. He will be a top-notch son-in-law in the capital.

The mother-in-law looked at her son-in-law and naturally became more and more satisfied, and couldn't help but praise him a few more times.

On this side, Wei Hanzhang also bowed slightly to Madam Gu and greeted her.

Madam Gu smiled and waved at her: "It's been a while since we last met. Our Ranran seems to have grown up a bit, and he seems to be taller too."
