Even though she was extremely anxious, Yu Jin still quietly distanced herself from Jiang Si.
He doesn't care about these customs, but Ah Si does.
After walking a few steps, Yu Jin suddenly stopped and stared at the girl's back with a changed expression.
When he suddenly heard Asi mention the saint, he was a little confused for a moment, but now he realized: How could Asi be sure that the person those two people were talking about was him?
First of all, his "Master Yu" was a pseudonym, which he made up purely to get close to Jiang Zhan and then to Ah Si. No matter where those two people came from, they would never say that they sent a woman who looked like the saint to Master Yu. When they mentioned him, they could only say the Seventh Prince or the King of Yan.
Doesn't this mean that Asi already knows his true identity?
But here comes the strange thing. If Asuru knew that he was the King of Yan, why didn't he show any abnormality, as if he had known it for a long time?
Yu Jin felt that there were more problems between the two of them that needed to be solved urgently, and he wished he could leave all the trouble at the Zhu Mansion and take Jiang Si to Quezi Hutong.
Jiang Ancheng's burning gaze not far away made him regain his sanity silently.
Problems can be solved one by one, but the impression left on your future father-in-law cannot be ruined.
The two walked back one after the other.
Jiang Si said nothing and stood silently beside Jiang Ancheng. Zhu Shaoqing and others couldn't help but look at Yu Jin, wanting to know what the two talked about but not being able to ask directly.
Yu Jin said with a stern face, "Who accompanied the eldest young lady out today? I want to question them one by one."
Regardless of whether anything can be found out or not, the scare still needs to be done. He has already figured out that Asi's purpose of reporting to the police today was not to get to the bottom of the matter immediately, but to make a show of force.
Yu Jin glanced at them and gave Zhu Ziyu a meaningful smile: "Mr. Zhu, please follow me first."
Zhu Ziyu didn't know what Jiang Si had said to Yu Jin. He nodded solemnly and walked towards the pavilion.
Jiang Ancheng whispered to Jiang Si, "Si'er, look, Xiaoyu handles the case with great authority. He is not timid at all when facing the son of an official family. He is neither humble nor overbearing."
He admired young men with integrity. It didn't matter if they came from an ordinary background. As long as they had ability and integrity, those who followed them would not tolerate any injustice.
Jiang Si rolled his eyes silently.
To be honest, it was Zhu Ziyu who was neither humble nor arrogant...
Next, Yu Jin questioned the two maids, Aya and Azhu, and also questioned several people in Zhu's mansion who were close to the driver. After a lot of trouble, he finally said, "Let's stop here today. If Master Zhu finds anything, please let us know in time."
Zhu Shaoqing bowed and said, "Goodbye."
The God of Plague is finally leaving. He has eaten his fill and is ready to deal with Shuntian Prefecture again.
Yu Jin smiled and asked Jiang Ancheng, "Are you going back?"
Jiang Ancheng waved his hands: "No, I need to talk to the Zhu family again."
"Then I'll wait until both sides have finished talking before leaving. If the talks don't work out and a fight breaks out, I, as a government official, can help maintain order."
Zhu Shaoqing: “…” Is Prince Yan sick?
Jiang Ancheng was silently moved: Xiao Yu was on his side after all, fearing that he would stay because he was alone and weak.
Ignoring Zhu Shaoqing's distorted expression, Yu Jin raised his hand and pointed at the pavilion: "Don't worry, I won't ask too much about the private affairs of the two families. Just go there and wait."
After saying this, Yu Jin quickly glanced at Jiang Si out of the corner of his eye, and walked towards the pavilion with several yamen runners.
Zhu Shaoqing adjusted his mood and sighed to Jiang Ancheng: "Father-in-law, we were indeed wrong today for not disciplining the servants. If you have any requests, just let us know. We don't have to let outsiders laugh at us."
As he said this, he glanced in the direction of the pavilion, and it was obvious who the "outsider" was referring to.
Jiang Ancheng sneered: "It's not certain who is the outsider. I know that once the driver dies, if no one in your mansion acknowledges it, no one can do anything. But I have a dirty word to say in advance. If my eldest daughter is wronged again in the future, I will immediately let her and Zhu Ziyu reconcile, and take these things to the outside world to talk about it."
Jiang Ancheng is a rough man, but not stupid. It would be strange for him to believe that the driver was not ordered by someone.
"Not really, not really." Zhu Shaoqing said repeatedly.
Having first argued for his wrongdoing, Zhu Shaoqing lowered his head, but in his heart he kept shaking his head: It is said that the Earl of Dongping is a fool. Now he said such harsh words, which forced the Zhu family to be humble, but he didn't think about whose family his daughter would live with.
What does it mean to be wronged? For a wife, it is not wronged if her husband goes out to drink and have a concubine at home, and it is not wronged if the mother-in-law sets rules for her daughter-in-law. If these things really happen in the future, the Duke of Dongping will only make people laugh when he tells others about them, and the one who really suffers is his concubine.
Of course, he has always believed that a harmonious family is the key to success. Although his wife is a bit strict, she is not the kind of person who would deliberately bully her daughter-in-law, and they don't want to see these things happen.
"Father-in-law, I will investigate this matter thoroughly later. If there is another hidden story, I will never shield those who have evil intentions." Zhu Shaoqing was confident that his family was clean, and he didn't want the government to intervene only because it was embarrassing, not because he thought it was his wife and children who harmed Jiang Yi. He would definitely investigate behind closed doors.
Zhu Shaoqing's words calmed Jiang Ancheng down a bit, and he shouted, "Yier, come here."
Jiang Yi walked up to Jiang Ancheng and called him father.
"Don't keep it to yourself if you are wronged in the future. Remember that you have a family to rely on." Jiang Ancheng felt distressed as he looked at his eldest daughter with a pale face.
He said those words to show the tough attitude of his family, but in the end, how he lives depends on his eldest daughter. His daughter is too weak. If that day comes, whether the eldest daughter is willing to divorce is still a question...
Glancing at his second daughter with a sullen expression beside him, Jiang Ancheng felt a little regretful: If only Yier had 80% of her sister's temper, at least she wouldn't suffer losses.
Jiang Yi lowered her head slightly: "Don't worry, father. I understand."
"Si'er, let's go."
After the conversation was over, Yu Jin came over and said with a smile, "Master Zhu, I'm leaving too."
Zhu Shaoqing smiled dryly as he sent Yu Jin to the door. His face darkened when he saw people sticking their heads out to see the excitement.
As expected, when these officials came home, they immediately aroused the curiosity of the neighbors.
Just as he was about to clear himself of the matter, he heard Yu Jin say loudly, "Everyone, please make way. The government is investigating the case."
Zhu Shaoqing almost fell down.
I really want to shut up Prince Yan!
Jiang Ancheng nodded quietly.
Well, Xiaoyu is really considerate.
After all this trouble, it was already dark when they returned to the Dongping Marquis's Mansion. Jiang Si returned to Haitangju to rest, saying that he was frightened and felt unwell. He took a few sips of the tea that Ah Qiao offered him, then asked Ah Man, "Have you told Ah Ya?"
Ah Man said hurriedly: "Tell her to keep a close eye on Qing Er and to inform the girl if there is anything unusual. But what if A Ya doesn't listen?"
