Searching for relatives?
That's surprising.
Everyone eagerly inquired, "Who are Miss Jiang's relatives? Have they been found?"
Jiang Changhe held the glass cup in his slender fingers, his expression full of regret: "Not yet. It's been too long, how can we find it so easily?"
She sighed, "It's just that my grandfather is in poor health and is now bedridden. He is always worried about us. As his grandchildren, we should help him put his regrets behind him."
What a filial son!
The ladies looked distressed and continued to ask, "What's your surname? What's your given name? We can go home and ask the elders."
Jiang Changhe pursed his bright red lips and softly uttered a single word: "Wei".
She looked at everyone, her eyes sparkling: "My relative's surname is Wei."
This made several people look up in surprise.
Because there are five families with the surname Wei among the crowd.
Hearing this, Madam Meng finally had a chance to speak.
Just now, Wei Wei had never called her a "jinx." With a smile on her face, she stood up, took her hand, and said warmly, "No wonder Miss Jiang wanted to see my niece-in-law when she came to visit last time."
"So there's such a story behind it... Sigh, if I had known, I would have made sure you two met no matter what. You might actually be relatives who have never met."
In just a few words, Wei Wei was thrust into the public eye.
All eyes were on Wei Wei, and Jiang Changhe's gaze was particularly meaningful.
Her smile was extremely wide, but so was her malice.
Looking at her like that made the hairs on the back of Wei Wei's neck stand up involuntarily.
She smiled slowly, covering her mouth with a handkerchief, revealing a hint of unease: "What a coincidence. It seems I need to go back and ask my father if he has a good relative in the capital."
Madam Zhang, whose face was still not very good, rolled her eyes and snorted coldly, looking at Madam Wei on the other side: "Madam Wei, perhaps you and Miss Jiang are actually family."
The woman named, Madam Wei, did not look too well; she was in her forties and already had gray hair.
She was so nervous, as if she had never been looked at like that before, that she couldn't even speak.
However, her daughter-in-law was extremely polite.
She was merely pretty, but her bright white teeth were truly striking. Holding her mother-in-law's hand, she smiled and said to Madam Zhang, "If that's the case, that would be wonderful!"
As soon as she finished speaking, her face darkened further: "It's just a pity about my father-in-law and husband. They passed away early and couldn't prove whether they were Miss Jiang's relatives."
That's a real pity.
An insider whispered, "It's pitiful. Her whole family died, leaving only her and her newlywed daughter-in-law..."
"Yes, look at her weathered face... She was so carefree when she was young. Her husband married into her family and she never had to leave her parents' home. Who would have thought that her husband and son would be killed by bandits while they were out trading?"
"However, on the other hand, the other two Wei families aren't doing too well either..."
Wei Wei's fingers trembled as she listened.
People with the surname Wei are indeed unlucky.
People are innocent, but possessing a treasure makes them guilty.
Those women surnamed Wei want to live well, but that means some people have to die.
She lowered her hand, and her sleeve quickly covered the inappropriateness.
As Jiang Changhe listened to everyone's chatter, she smiled and said, "If there really is the relative I'm looking for, that would be wonderful."
She said, "My brother is a few years older than me and knows a lot more. Please wait a little longer, ladies of the Wei family, so that we can meet him together when he returns."
"Perhaps they really have become relatives!"
Wei Wei didn't speak, because Madam Meng had already agreed on her behalf.
“Okay, okay, this also gives us a chance to meet your brother.”
Wei Cheng glanced at the silent Wei Wei and agreed as well.
However, Madam Wei, who had just been mentioned, was not keen on staying.
She clutched her handkerchief tightly in both hands and hesitated before speaking, "I'm sorry, Miss Jiang... I have some things to attend to at home... so let's talk about it another time."
Jiang Changhe's eyes flickered, and he smiled at her without making things difficult: "Okay, Madam Wei can come over to play again when you have time next time."
Mrs. Wei breathed a sigh of relief and immediately replied with a smile, "Thank you very much, Miss Jiang, of course."
After saying that, he stood up and was about to leave.
However, her daughter-in-law stood rooted to the spot, her smile unchanged, but every word she uttered was an objection: "Mother, it's alright if you go back, why don't you stay here and have some fun?"
Madam Wei's face was somewhat pale, but more than that, she looked uneasy. She clenched her hands again and then quickly let go.
"Alright then," she reluctantly agreed.
Wei Wei kept observing her expression; her head was slightly lowered, and her chin was tucked in tightly.
She seemed uncomfortable with her daughter-in-law supporting her, leaning forward unconsciously, a tense, subconscious action. Even though she was protesting with all her heart, she didn't utter another word.
Wei Wei's eyes flickered. What was this seemingly timid Madam Wei thinking, or did she know something?
However, she was too naive and couldn't control her expression.
If things continue like this, it's only a matter of time before they lose their lives.
Her daughter-in-law is even more interesting.
If nothing unexpected happens, he will likely be doing the same thing as Meng Zhixuan.
However, she is close to succeeding.
Looking around, of the five families chosen this generation, only my family and Wei Cheng's family are still relatively safe.
These people really went to great lengths for that so-called secret treasure of Tianxue Mountain.
She wanted to find an opportunity to meet this Madam Wei.
After sitting for a while, the young ladies and wives from various families got up one after another to take their leave, and Jiang Changhe was indeed very generous.
She smiled and said, "It is a great pleasure to have you grace my Jiang residence with your presence today. I may not have much else, but I love collecting rare and unusual things."
"I have just had it delivered to your carriages. I hope you will not find it offensive."
How could anyone find it objectionable? Hearing her words filled me with excitement.
The words of thanks came one after another.
Jiang Changhe was very satisfied and led the way in seeing everyone out.
Before leaving, she turned to look at the five Wei families who remained: "Please wait a moment, I will return shortly."
Madam Meng replied with a fawning smile, "Miss Jiang, please go ahead. We'll wait here."
Jiang Changhe smiled and stepped out the door.
The people behind followed, one by one, leaving with smiles on their faces.
As Wei Wei stood absentmindedly in the corner, someone stopped beside her.
She was somewhat surprised and couldn't help but tilt her head to take a look.
It turned out to be Madam Qin.
Madam Qin did not smile, but she did not appear particularly angry either.
She simply looked at her and asked softly, "Were you satisfied just now?"
