Xu's mother pursed her lips. Seeing that her voice was a little dry and hoarse, she asked the woman beside her to get a glass of water.
"Who are the people in the family? What are the parents' surnames?"
For these questions, Jiang Shanshan could not even give the most basic honest answers.
All he could say was: "My mother's surname is Lin, and my father's surname...is Jiang."
The rest did not want to say more.
Mother Xu nodded, and her surname was Lin. It seemed that it was really possible...
"You drink some water to moisten it, and I'll go check on Mr. Lang."
After saying that, she hinted that her mother-in-law would take good care of her, and she went out to find Gu Yuan standing on the porch.
"Third brother, you are too silly." Xu's mother approached, her face full of disapproval.
Gu Yuan frowned, "I am free to use discretion."
It's just a matter of locking her up for a few days, so it won't hurt her.
"No matter how much you like it, you still have to live a decent life. How can you just take it to another courtyard and hide it like this? If outsiders find out, they won't be able to stab you in the back."
She didn't care about the words at first, but the more she listened, the more strange she became. Gu Yuan looked at her doubtfully, "What do you mean, Mother Xu? I'm just..."
He paused as he spoke, thinking about the entanglement between Jiang Shanshan and himself, and for a while he was still a little unclear.
The silence of this letter made Xu's mother even more sure.
She shook her head and said, "You don't need to explain. The Duke and Madam already know about this, and His Highness said everything."
"Your Highness? What did he say? Miss Jiang and I really have nothing to do with each other..."
"Third brother, there's no need to hide it, I understand everything." Mother Xu patted his hand.
After all, he is an older child, so there is no reason to stop him from liking it.
After saying that, he turned around and left regardless of Gu Yuan's reaction.
"Wait a minute, Mother Xu, what did Your Highness say? Miss Jiang and I are not what you thought." Gu Yuan wanted to explain.
But Mrs. Xu didn't listen to his sophistry and left alone.
Really, the children I have grown up with are always telling the truth, and none of them are safe.
Seeing the person leaving, Gu Yuan felt something was wrong. When did he and Jiang Shanshan have such a relationship.
He walked to the door of the room with a sullen face, and happened to see Jiang Shanshan, who was fully dressed, coming out. The two of them met without warning, their eyes met, and they were both stunned.
Unexpectedly, he noticed the clothes on her body and looked away uncomfortably. They were all changed by someone on their own initiative.
No rules.
"Who asked you to come out?"
"Why, are you really planning to lock me up?"
Jiang Shanshan glanced at the sky. It was already dark. If he didn't go back, it would be too late.
"I have sent someone to deliver news to your brother. I will be here to reflect on my past these few days."
"How can that be okay? I still have something to do!"
"If you go out now, aren't you afraid that Prince Qi's Mansion will come to your door?" Gu Yuan sneered, "As long as I say a word, the Jiang family will send you out immediately."
Hearing this, Jiang Shanshan looked not very good, as if he had swallowed a fly.
Who knew that boy was actually a prince!
King Qi, isn’t that the emperor’s nephew?
Because he was his brother's only flesh and blood, the emperor not only adopted him as his own, but also made him his hereditary successor.
If the emperor's favorite is the six kings, then the most pet is the king of Qi. No wonder it is so arrogant, begging her.
It's different when you have a backer.
Thinking about it, she looked at Gu Yuan, "I suddenly felt that it was pretty good here."
At least the person is protected.
When it's time to give in, give in. Integrity is something that can only be carried with you occasionally.
Gu Yuan curled his lips, the look in his eyes was self-explanatory.
It's fair to say that she knows what's going on.
Turning around, he said: "How did you know about Second Master Jiang? As your siblings, how did you learn about such a thing?"
When he asked, Jiang Shanshan had a clear look on her face, and she knew that he didn't bring her back simply to help her.
This is just right, only when we have transactions can we get along happily.
"Not only do I know there is a problem with his village, I also know that the Jiang family is selling illegal salt."
Gu Yuan suddenly turned around and grabbed Jiang Shanshan's wrist, his expression slightly condensed, "Are you serious about this?"
"What I said is true or false, Mr. Gu, didn't you count?"
Jiang Shanshan smiled. She knew more than this. The Jiang family was indeed rotten to the core from top to bottom.
Besides, how do they think the Jiang family got to where it is today in just a dozen years, relying solely on Concubine Jiang?
Of course, the secret activities of the Jiang family are indispensable here, especially in recent years. After all, the six princes are competing for the heirloom, and it is impossible to estimate what they need.
Gu Yuan stared at the person in front of him, and after being shocked by the news, he accepted it.
If it were the Jiang family, they could indeed do these things.
"How about it? Do you want to cooperate? You provide me with help and I provide you with information."
Jiang Shanshan tilted his head and said, give him time to think.
It happened that the woman behind me came over and saw the two of them very close to each other. She was too embarrassed to move forward and just raised her voice: "Sir, miss, do you want to prepare dinner?"
Gu Yuan glanced at the old lady behind him, let go of his hand, "Follow me!"
Jiang Shanshan knew there was something going on as soon as he heard it, and immediately followed her. When he turned around, he didn't forget to wave his hand to his mother-in-law and responded.
At the same time, Mrs. Xu hurriedly returned to the Duke of Jingguo's Mansion, her face no longer relaxed and happy.
When she arrived in the hall, she looked as usual and told her the news she had brought back from the other courtyard.
Everyone's faces looked like this.
"So, the third brother really hid this girl. Her surname is Jiang. Which Jiang family is she from?"
Gu Qing held his head and said, there are not many people named Jiang in Kyoto, especially from Concubine Jiang's family.
Then there will be a good show.
"I haven't had time to ask this slave yet, but it seems that Third Brother likes me very much." Xu's mother said cryptically.
Duke Jingguo and his wife understood, and the latter asked Jiang Shanshan carefully about Jiang Shanshan. Seeing this, everyone else also dispersed.
At this time, Xu's mother revealed what she had discovered, "Only that girl's appearance looks sixty-seven times like that of Miss Lin from before."
The teacup in Mrs. Jingguo's hand trembled, "What are you talking about? Who do you look like?"
"Like the fourth girl of the Lin family in the past."
"Zhilan?" Her eyes opened slightly.
"yes……"
Mrs. Jingguo was stunned. After a moment, she stared at Xu's mother and said, "Tell her again, and did she really say that her mother's surname was Lin?"
"Yes, I did not listen. I just don't know who his father is. His surname is Jiang. There are not many people named Jiang in Kyoto. Do you want me to go check it out?"
"You'd better check it out secretly, and be more careful. If it's really Zhilan's daughter..."
The Duke's wife whispered a few instructions, and Xu's mother nodded in agreement.
After she finished speaking, the Duke's wife's thoughts were a little confused, and she dismissed the others and sat alone.
"Is it really Zhilan's child..." She shook her head, "But wasn't she dead back then?"
No one answered her questions, they just merged into the silent night.
…
In the Jiang Family, Biluo Courtyard, Jiang Mingxuan has been standing at the door of Jiang Shanshan ever since he saw the news from someone who suddenly jumped out.
It was already getting dark, but no one was there.
Taohong couldn't stand it anymore, "She won't come back all night, is it possible that you have to wait for her all night? Go and have a rest! Think carefully about how to deal with the next thing, that Hongyu is not dead yet!"
