Chapter 146: Stuck in the Underground Passage
Jiang Yunwan suddenly raised her eyes and looked towards Wen Shu's room, and her gaze met Wen Shu's unexpectedly.
Wen Shu squatted down instinctively.
Jiang Yunwan frowned. Why was this child so scared?
What a shock this was.
"Little brother, why are you squatting on the ground? Get up quickly."
Wen Nuo pulled him to sit on the soft chair. "You should have seen the two aunts outside. One is Sister Yun's biological mother, and the other is Sister Meng's biological aunt. They came to see you last night, but you fell asleep, so they didn't wake you up."
Wen Shu's eyes lit up slightly, it turned out that it was not an illusion.
Miss Cheng really came last night.
"You are Sister Meng's eldest brother now, and they are your aunt and uncle. I'll let them come in to see you. You won't be afraid, right?"
Wen Shu nodded and shook his head.
Wen Nuo smiled and said, "Okay, I'll let them in."
Wen Shu stood up from the soft chair and caught a glimpse of the paper full of names on the bookshelf. He inexplicably felt that he would meet all the people written on the paper in the next few days.
A moment later, Wen Nuo led people in.
Wen Shu hurriedly bowed and saluted.
Jiang Yunwan quickly stepped forward, held her shoulders, helped him up, and said softly, "No need to be so polite. I am your cousin Yu's mother, your aunt."
"I am the mother of your cousin Yun, your aunt."
Wen Shu looked up at the two people in front of him with kind and gentle faces, and his heart felt inexplicably warm.
Will his delusion really come true?
Wen Shu smiled and nodded to the two of them.
When she smiled, her eyes and eyebrows looked very much like Shushu.
Jiang Yunwan and Feng Yingying helped Wen Shu sit on the couch, and then they sat down on both sides of Wen Shu.
Wen Shu's thin little body, sandwiched in the middle, tensed up instantly.
"Aunts, please don't get so close to little brother. He'll feel stressed."
Upon hearing this, the aunt and sister-in-law hurriedly and gently held Wen Shu's wrist.
Feng Yingying reached out and stroked his thin back, saying softly, "Don't be afraid, nephew. No one will dare to bully you in the future. Your aunt will avenge you."
Jiang Yunwan's voice became even softer, and she spoke to Wen Shu as if coaxing a baby, "We will take you home in two days. Your grandparents, uncle, cousin, and uncle are all here with you. They will all spoil you. And your mother, too. She looks exactly like you. When you see her, you'll completely believe that we are your family."
Wen Shu relaxed upon hearing this, and the three characters "Jiang Yunshu" came to his mind.
Could Mrs. Cheng really be his biological mother?
Will he also have the same pleasant fragrance as Miss Cheng?
"By the way, take a closer look at me. I look about 60% like your mother."
Wen Shu quickly turned his head to look at Jiang Yunwan. She was very beautiful.
His mother, no, Mrs. Cheng should be pretty too.
Jiang Yunwan felt very upset when she saw Wen Shu was speechless.
My eldest nephew has suffered a great crime!
Fortunately, Xiao Nuo stole it out.
If it was a few days later, my nephew would be in danger.
"Xiao Nuo, bring down the picture album we left in the accounting office last night."
Wen Nuo took the portrait and unfolded it in front of Wen Shu.
"Little brother, look at this and see if this is the Yu family bullying you?"
Wen Shu flipped through the book and shook his head.
These people are not from the Yu family at all.
Jiang Yunwan pulled out Yu Ziyuan's portrait and said, "Take a closer look. This is the mistress of the Yu family. We arranged for someone to draw it. There's no mistake."
Wen Shu saw that Yu Ziyuan had her eyes closed and quickly shook his head.
He couldn't see Yu Ziyuan sleeping at all.
Jiang Yunwan closed the album. Since it was a sleeping picture, she would arrange for someone to paint her awake.
She should be Cheng Xiao's mistress!
"The Yu family bullied you, and we will help you get back at them a hundredfold and tenfold. You can rest first, and we will come back to take you home."
Wen Shu lowered his eyes and nodded. Why did he leave so soon?
Jiang Yunwan put her arms around his shoulders and hugged him, "Then we'll leave first. We'll come pick you up soon."
After a while, Jiang Yunwan let go of him, stood up and left the room with Feng Yingying.
Wen Shu looked at the two people leaving, his heart empty, and hurriedly chased after them.
"Aunts, my brother has come after you and is reluctant to let you go. How about having lunch before going back?"
It was the first time that Wen Nuo saw Wen Shu chasing him out. The little brother was really hoping for a family that would love and spoil him.
The aunt and sister-in-law looked back at the thin little body at the door, couldn't bear it, and stayed.
"Old sister, how come you have time to come and see me, a blind woman, today?"
Seeing that Madam Jiang was full of energy, Madam Du Ye smiled and said, "Don't say that about yourself. I bet your eye disease will be healed soon."
Madam Jiang was surprised. "How did you know?"
"Just keep it a secret from me. Wanwan is back. You'll be so happy that your eye disease will surely heal faster."
"You found out so quickly?"
Du Ye said, "It may have spread all over the capital. I ran into Wanwan in front of your tavern today. Otherwise, I wouldn't have known about it."
"Ha..." Old Madam Jiang laughed out loud, "You guessed it right. In three months, oh no, within three months, I will be able to regain my sight and see Wanwan. I haven't seen her for more than fifteen years. I don't know if she is still the same as she was fifteen years ago."
"Don't worry, I just saw her clearly. She looks even prettier than she did fifteen years ago. I can tell she hasn't suffered any hardship. I think her husband's family treats her very well."
Only then did Old Lady Jiang realize that Old Lady Du had come to inquire about the situation of Wanwan's family of three.
"Wanwan and her husband now have a daughter who is over thirteen years old. Youya, Yunzhou and the others all like this child very much. And my eldest son-in-law, Song Mingen, is now a scholar. They all say that he is good-looking and has a good character. Not only that, he is also Wanwan's lifesaver. If he hadn't rescued her in time, I might never see Wanwan in this life."
Du Ye frowned slightly. Since he was rescued, why didn't he come back for fifteen years, but came back this year?
This Mr. Song doesn't have any intentions, right?
"Since Wanwan has been rescued, why didn't you come back earlier?"
Madam Jiang sighed, "Wanwan fell off a cliff and hit her head. She lost her memory and didn't remember who she was. She came back a while ago after regaining her memory."
"I see. The Chaofeng Palace entrance exam is in just over a month. Does Wanwan plan to let your eldest granddaughter take the exam?"
Upon hearing this, Madam Jiang smiled and said, "My sister Yu inherited Wanwan's talent in cooking. She also has good handwriting. If she works hard, she should be able to get into Chaofeng Palace."
"Of course she can. She is Wanwan's daughter. Wanwan was a first-rank noble lady back then. Her daughter will definitely surpass her."
"Haha... Old sister Ji Yan, how are you now?"
It would have been fine if she hadn't mentioned it. Madam Du felt a little tight in her chest the moment she mentioned it. "It's okay. It's getting late. I'm going to the back of Huguo Temple to rest for a few days. I'll come see you again in a few days."
"Madame Gui, please send her off quickly."
Before Du Ye and others reached the second gate, they saw a man rushing towards Jiang Youya's yard from the corridor diagonally opposite.
"Madam Gui, who is that?"
Aunt Gui said, "That's my eldest brother-in-law."
Du Ye quickly raised her eyes again and saw only Song Mingen's profile. "He looks good from the side. It seems what I said is true. Your eldest brother-in-law is very handsome."
Nanny Gui smiled and said, "Yes, my eldest brother-in-law is as handsome as any of the masters from the aristocratic families in Beijing. You will definitely agree when you see him."
Du Ye looked at the receding figure and said with a smile, "I think your cousin is also very pretty. She looks like your eldest brother-in-law, right?"
Nanny Gui hesitated for a moment and said, "Yes, it must be my eldest brother-in-law. My cousin and Miss Cheng went to the Cheng Mansion early this morning. You will be able to see him next time you come."
Nanny Gui thought that by the time Old Madam Du came again, the cousin's face would definitely have recovered.
Mrs. Du felt something was wrong when she heard her words, and was anxious to leave the city, so she did not investigate further.
When Old Lady Cheng saw the three sisters running back early in the morning, she felt inexplicably uneasy.
Seeing that the three sisters were fiddling with the peonies in Zhuohua Courtyard and didn't show any abnormal behavior, the uneasiness in her heart remained unchanged.
The child was missing and she had to wonder.
"Madame Niu, tell me more about the situation at the Song Mansion."
Nanny Niu said, "Our people sneaked in to check. The owner of the Song Mansion is not home. There are only servants guarding the house. However, the Wen family across the street is out shopping as usual. The Wen family is very heavily guarded, so our people can't sneak in. However, we will find a way to sneak in."
"The master is not here? Aren't Jiang Yunwan and her family of three living in the Jiang Mansion? I guess the Song Mansion is the house Jiang Yunwan bought in Beijing."
Niu Ma: "That's unlikely. It's a place where many wealthy businessmen gather. How could Elder Jiang allow the Song family to settle there?"
"What if that's Jiang Yunwan's house?"
"this……"
Nanny Niu was speechless. Her old lady had the same temperament as the one outside, both of them were willing to assume the worst.
Otherwise, how could he have kept Cheng Jiangshi under his control all these years and let Old Jiang contribute to the Cheng family's bright future?
Mrs. Cheng remembered that the three sisters had stayed at the Cheng Mansion the night before. She slept very soundly. "Go next door and inform Cheng Lin to block the underground passage and open it after the three sisters return to the Jiang Mansion."
She guessed correctly again, "Yes, ma'am."
