Wei Hanzhang also grew up under the care of Mrs. Gu, and she is quite satisfied with this daughter-in-law.

Apart from her delicate temperament, this girl was faultless in terms of housework, appearance, conversation, etiquette, and interpersonal relationships.

Wei Hanzhang also knew that Mrs. Gu giving her son two concubines did not mean that she did not like him, it was just the rule of a wealthy family.

Now that my son has grown up, he naturally needs someone to take care of him.

In short, this marriage is one that both families are satisfied with.

Compared to Wei Hanyu who married far away and Wei Hanshuang who was arranged to marry by her family, she should be content.

After not seeing each other for two months, as soon as Wei Hanzhang stepped into the door, Gu Yunran's eyes unconsciously fell on her, forbearing but eager.

The person involved was slow to notice anything, but a few people nearby who had experienced it saw what was happening.

Seeing her future son-in-law like this, Jiang was even more satisfied. After asking a few questions in detail, she smiled and said, "Ranran, take the young master of the Gu family to stroll around the garden, and we adults can talk for a while."

Wei Hanzhang was startled, turned his head to look at Gu Yunran, met his eyes, lowered his eyes and said, "Come with me."

As soon as they went out, Wei Hanzhang dismissed the two maids, Luzhu and Lulan, and took Gu Yunran to the second room.

She walked ahead with big strides, and Gu Yunran followed behind.

"Ran Ran, are you still angry with me?" Gu Yunran pulled her sleeve and whispered, "I wrote you so many letters, why didn't you reply to any of them?"

Wei Hanzhang did not answer but asked: "When did you arrive in the capital?"

"Yesterday," Gu Yunran saw her turn around, and he was delighted, and took credit for it, "I came to see you when the house was not yet tidied up."

In fact, if it wasn't inappropriate for him to come alone for the first time, he would have wanted to come by himself yesterday.

They had never gone so many days without seeing each other before. Gu Yunran felt anxious for no apparent reason and was even scolded by his father as a loser.

"Ran Ran, I will come to your house to propose marriage tomorrow, you have to marry me quickly."

Wei Hanzhang was about to speak when he heard such a thunder. His eyes widened immediately: "So fast?"

"Yes, we have to hurry up." Gu Yunran said in a low voice: "My Ranran is so good, what if someone else takes a fancy to her? You don't know how panicked I was when I had no news from you for two months."

Gu Yunran was used to being unrestrained in Xuzhou, and the Gu family was close to the Jiang family, so when he went to the Jiang Mansion it was like going back to his own home, and he could see his Ranran every day.

But after we had a fight, we were separated for so long that there was no correspondence.

During these two months, Gu Yunran had experienced what it meant to worry about gains and losses, what it meant to think about someone day and night, and what it meant to toss and turn in bed.

He was not afraid of anything else except that the engagement between the two was not formally confirmed and was just a verbal agreement.

What if a young man of higher status in the capital took a fancy to Ran Ran and the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery wanted to break the contract? What would the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery do?

After being restless for so long, she still looked distant when they met again, and Gu Yunran felt very uncomfortable.

I couldn't help but hold her hand and whispered, "Ran Ran doesn't want to?"

Wei Hanzhang lowered his eyes and said nothing, feeling a little hesitant.

"Are you really still mad at me?" Gu Yunran said anxiously, "I have already sent those two maids away. Ranran, please don't quarrel with me anymore, okay?"

So what if they were sent away? The traces of their existence cannot be erased...

If it happens once, there will definitely be a second time.

Wei Hanzhang thought about it in her heart, but she didn't react as much as when she first mentioned it. She said, "Will your mother say that I'm jealous?"

"Ranran, don't worry. My mother is very satisfied with you." Seeing that she was still willing to worry about this, Gu Yunran breathed a sigh of relief and said, "They are just two maids. I sent them away. How could she remember you?"

Hearing this, Wei Hanzhang couldn't help but smile bitterly. No matter how smart a young boy like Gu Yunran was, he couldn't understand the disputes between the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law in the back house.

No matter how satisfied Mrs. Gu was with her, she still measured her by the standards for her daughter-in-law.

The requirements that wealthy families have for their daughters-in-law always include "tolerance and generosity".

However, these things can be put aside for now, the most important thing right now is...

Wei Hanzhang pulled back his hand, raised his eyes and asked, "Do you know about my grandfather's family?"

Gu Yunran was startled: "I know a little."

"Then is it possible that my uncle was wrongly accused?" Wei Hanzhang reasoned, "How could he, a minor official with no real power, be involved in a corruption case?"

"Ran Ran..." Gu Yunran looked at her worriedly and said, "The case was investigated by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince himself, so there will be no mistakes."

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince...investigated it personally?

Wei Hanzhang's last bit of hope was shattered and his face turned pale.

His Majesty has long since stopped caring about state affairs, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been regent. If the order to escort the entire Jiang family back to the capital was issued by His Royal Highness after a personal investigation, then is there still a need for a trial in the capital?

It's just a procedure.

Seeing her like this, Gu Yunran held her arm and whispered, "Don't worry too much. My father said that your grandfather left a good impression on His Highness when he was an official. His Highness specifically ordered that except for your uncle's family, other members of the Jiang family do not need to wear shackles."

"Without shackles or chains..." Wei Hanzhang repeated slowly, reluctantly letting out a sigh of relief, and then asked, "Do you know what crime my uncle committed?"

"I don't know the details of the case. My father only said that the eldest uncle of the Jiang family was involved in embezzling the government silver for building the dam. Your other two uncles were not involved."

Gu Yunran comforted him softly: "With the special care that His Highness has shown towards your grandfather, I believe that the other branches of the Jiang family will not be implicated."

Your Highness, Your Highness, the lives and deaths of the hundreds of people in the Jiang family are all in your hands.

The best outcome now is for each person to take responsibility for his own actions and not to implicate the other two branches of the Jiang family.

Thinking of the big house...

Wei Hanzhang asked, "Is my eldest cousin married yet?"

"She got married," Gu Yunran paused, and said, "It was on the day she returned home three days ago that the Jiang family had an accident."

"..." Wei Hanzhang was silent for a long time, then heaved a sigh of relief and said, "I hope her husband's family will treat her well."

If you marry the daughter of an official who has committed a crime, you will feel very anxious and uneasy, as it will also affect the future of your children.

Gu Yunran's face looked a little strange. Wei Hanzhang noticed it and said anxiously, "Is there anything else? Tell me now!"

A trace of pity flashed in his eyes: "After the Jiang family got into trouble, Miss Jiang was divorced by her husband's family. Now she is on her way to Beijing with Uncle Jiang and his men."

Miss Jiang was divorced by her husband's family...

Wei Hanzhang’s whole body stiffened.

really!

The thing I was most worried about happened.

Jiang Zhiqin, the eldest daughter of the Jiang family, unexpectedly became a divorced woman in such a short time.

After her uncle is convicted, she will most likely follow in Cao Xinrou's footsteps and enter the Jiaofangsi, becoming an official prostitute.

Wei Hanzhang was in a state of confusion. She thought of Cao Xinrou, who had jumped off a building and died.

She couldn't save Cao Xinrou, nor could she save her older cousin.
