Chapter 120
She Is From The Countryside
120 not a child of the jiang family
âold madam jiang.â yu xi was the first to greet him.
His expression was calm, but it was not difficult to see his respect for grandmother Jiang.
grandma jiang was a smart person, so she could naturally feel his excessive respect for her.
Although she hadnât seen Yu Xi for many years, from the fact that he decisively left home when he was eleven years old, and then went into hiding for many years to take revenge and then take back the Yu family, she could tell that he was not a simple person.
for such a person, even if she was his elder, he should not respect her to this extent.
It seemed that he knew something.
âitâs been many years since we last met, and the third son of the yu family has grown so big.â
âthank you for your concern.â
Su Yunzhi and su mu also greeted him.
âOld Madam Jiang.â
âGrandma Jiang,â Su mu and Jiang Sheng were considered friends, so the way he addressed old lady Jiang naturally followed Jiang Shengâs seniority.
âyunzhi and xiaomu are here too.â
I knew that Yuxi had returned home, so I brought su mu here to see her. I also offered some incense to my father. as su yunzhi spoke, a trace of sadness flashed across her strong and capable face.
âThere will always be such a day when one is old. You juniors need not be too sad.â old mistress and old master yu were considered friends, and she was also an old lady, so it was not rude for her to say this.
When it was time to offer incense, the old lady and su Yunzhi did not enter the ancestral hall.
The two of them took the lit incense and made three bows at the entrance of the ancestral hall. They then handed the incense to su mu, who was making the bow in the ancestral hall, and let him stick it in.
old lady jiang did not enter the ancestral hall because it was not appropriate for an outsider to enter. su yunzhi, on the other hand, did not want to leave old lady jiang alone outside and had specially accompanied her.
after they offered incense, yu xi invited them to the main hall.
the tea was served very quickly.
after the person who served the tea left, other than the four of them in the main hall, only the yu familyâs housekeeper and aunt wan stood to the side.
the old lady held the tea but didnât drink it. she looked at yu xi, who was sitting opposite her. âLittle brat Yu San, you should know that I didnât come to the Yu family just to offer incense, right?â
Su Yunzhi and su mu were both curious about the purpose of old lady Jiangâs visit and couldnât help but look at her and Yu Xi.
âyes,â yu xi nodded.
then he stood up and bowed to grandma jiang.
this action shocked su yunzhi and su mu quite a bit.
âwhat are you doing?â the old lady was also a little surprised, but she was surprised by his action of bowing, not the reason for it.
âmy niece has been under the care of the old madam for many years. you can accept this little nephewâs bow.â
âIt seems like youâve really found out everything,â the old lady sighed.
Yu Xi didnât say when and how the investigation was carried out, but only responded with a low âyes.â
su yunzhi and su mu looked on with confusion on their faces. su yunzhi asked,âYuxi, whatâs going on with Yingluo?â
Niece? Old Madam Jiang?
su yunzhi was not an idiot. yu xi had previously mentioned that something had happened when she did not go to see xuan liuying immediately after she returned. now that he had said this to old lady jiang, she quickly reacted.
could it be that liu yingâs daughter wasnât a child of the yu family, but the niece that yu xi said was being taken care of by old madam jiang?
then, who were the girls that madam jiang had taken care of all these years?
Su Yunzhi reacted, and so did su mu.
However, he was thinking more than su Yunzhi.
after all, he was a junior and had more contact with the younger generation. he knew who among the younger generation was better.
He thought of Jiang Rui almost immediately.
This was because other than Shi Yan, Jiang Rui was the only other girl that grandmother Jiang had taken care of all these years.
Old Madam Jiang was undoubtedly a loving elder, but not every junior was loved and cared for by her. and for her to specially visit the yu family for this matter, it could be seen that the junior she took care of was very much liked by her.
Shi Yan couldnât possibly be a child of the Yu family, so Jiang Rui was the only one left.
however, this was only his guess, and it was somewhat absurd, so su mu did not say it out loud.
Everyone knew that Jiang Rui was the eldest young miss of the Jiang family, Jiang Qingâs biological daughter, and Jiang Chengâs biological sister. If he rashly spoke out his guess, what if he guessed wrong, Yingluo?
It was inappropriate to say it so directly.
Old lady Jiang sighed and said to Yu Xi, who was still standing, â âletâs sit down and talk,â
âiâll do it,â he said to su yunzhi.
âyunzhi, youâve met our rui âer, right?â
su yunzhi was shocked.
jiang rui?
Niece?
he suppressed the shock in his heart and nodded. â âyes, iâve seen him many times.â
Haichengâs upper-class circle was only so big, and Jiang Rui often accompanied Kong Xiangxiang to all kinds of parties. Although she was busy with the SU Groupâs business, she would occasionally attend these parties.
He would inevitably meet Jiang Rui.
She was a beautiful, cheerful, and intelligent child.
one could tell at a glance that she had been pampered since she was young, but she was not arrogant at all.
She was a very likable little girl.
she had also sighed at the jiang familyâs good upbringing. they only had one daughter, but they didnât spoil her even if they spoiled her to no end.
â rui âer is actually not a child of the jiang family. sheâs the posthumous child of your yu familyâs head, yu wushuang. â
Although they had already guessed it, su Yunzhi and su mu still couldnât remain calm when they heard the old lady say it out loud.
after being stunned for a long time, su yunzhi asked,âthen, then is the child that liu ying raised, yingluo, the jiang familyâs child?ââ
before they could reply, su yunzhi continued to deny,âi donât think so.â
âIf the child by Liu Yingâs side is the Jiang familyâs, and old Madam is clear about the truth, she would not let the Jiang familyâs child suffer outside.â
all these years, that child had followed liu ying and had not lived well.
â thatâs right. that child is not from our jiang family. â
âI only found out about Rui âerâs background a few years ago when I noticed that ah Sheng was investigating,â the old lady said.
âThe first person to find out that Rui âer wasnât a child of the Jiang family was ah Sheng. He was the one who sent people to investigate. I knew that he was investigating, so I sneaked a look at the information he found. Thatâs how I found out about Rui âerâs background.â
âthe information iâve read is limited, and almost all of it is about rui âer, so i know that ruiâ er is a child of the yu family. as for which family the daughter of the xuan family is from, iâm not sure. Itâs just that from the fact that ah Sheng didnât take her home or take care of her life, we could tell that sheâs not a child of the Jiang family.â
âI personally taught ah Sheng. Even if he has no feelings for his sister whom he has never met, he would definitely not let her suffer outside without caring. thereâs only one explanation for him not taking any action after knowing the truth. the child with the xuan girl isnât his sister.â
after hearing the old ladyâs words, there was another silence.
for su yunzhi and su mu, this was not a small matter that they could digest in a short time.
Their understanding of Jiang Rui was too deep.
In their minds, she was the daughter of the Jiang family.
Besides, su Yunzhi was well aware of Xuan Liuying and Xuan wanrouâs current situation over the years. She had never suspected that Xuan wanrou was not Xuan Liuyingâs daughter.
xuan liuying had been raising the child by her side ever since she gave birth in the hospital. who would suspect that she was not her biological child?
After a long while, it was su mu who asked first. grandma Jiang, may I ask if thereâs anyone else in the Jiang family who knows about the background of Jiang Qianqian and Rui âer other than you and Jiang Cheng? â
âthereâs nothing else,â
old lady jiang looked at them and said in a serious and firm tone, â âBut you donât have to worry. Since Iâve made this trip, I want to let you know that whether Rui âer is a child of the Jiang family or not, she is still my granddaughter. Even if the truth is exposed in the future, as long as Iâm still alive, I wonât let her suffer a single bit.â
he looked at yu xi. â i guessed that since youâre back in haicheng, you must be quite capable. then, the things that ah sheng can find out canât be hidden from you. otherwise, you wouldnât have come back and not gone to see that girl from the xuan family. â
âIâm here to tell you not to look for Rui âer for the time being. She has had the deepest feelings for her brother since she was young. her brother has been on a business trip for the past few days, and iâm afraid that she wonât be able to take it if she finds out the truth now, especially since her brother is not around.â
as for that girl from the Xuan family, when and how do you plan to tell her the truth? we, the Jiang family, will not ask. But one thing is, before Sheng returns from his business trip, no one is allowed to look for Rui âer, not even her biological mother.
â
the author had something to say:
it seemed that the morning update was not going to work.
last night, he had something to do and went out. he came back too late last night, so he only wrote one chapter and it was already three in the morning.
As expected, he had to save some chapters. Otherwise, he wouldnât be able to keep up with the updates in this kind of situation.
there would be more updates later, but it might be later.
see you later ~
