After rebirth, I went from a peasant girl to the richest man

Compared to the anger of Jiang's father and Uncle Fu after knowing the truth, Bai Qingyun was more concerned about another thing.

As she had done twice before, she looked into Jiang Si's eyes and asked, "How did you know my mother was in Jiangzhou?"

Jiang Si opened his eyes, looked at Bai Qingyun for a moment, and then gave up struggling.

The previous experience taught him that struggling would only hurt himself and would not have any effect on telling the truth to himself.

Without all this unnecessary resistance, the answer this time came faster than the previous two times.

"The eldest master wrote to Kyoto, but he didn't explain it directly. He just said that the eldest lady was seriously ill and missed her daughter, so he wanted to transport all the things of the eldest lady to Jiangzhou to ease her longing. The head of the family had some vague guesses."

Father Jiang was silent for a while, knowing in his heart that his high-sounding words would not easily deceive his father who had been sitting in the hall for a long time.

If not for this, the Jiang family, a declining aristocratic family, would not have been able to stay in Kyoto for such a long time, maneuvering between major families, poor families, and even His Majesty.

Obviously, such an effect would not be achieved simply through marriage.

Without the planning of the head of the family, the Jiang family would have been driven back to the Divine Doctor Valley long ago and become a country doctor, far away from the center of power.

When his daughter fled Kyoto, the Jiang family sent people to look for her. The father also blamed the eldest wife. How could he not hate her for failing to accomplish what he had planned for so long!

But this hatred had long been offset after the eldest wife paid a heavy price. On the night when the father and son had a long talk, all the search people sent by the Jiang family were recovered, and Jiang's father also promised to help the Jiang family in officialdom.

Although the Honglu Temple cannot do anything substantial, it is not difficult to trip someone up.

Military generals, led by the Han family, often compete with aristocratic families in the court. This has been a phenomenon since the founding of the dynasty and has become an unsolvable situation.

Military generals fight on the front lines, and after the war ends there will be a long period of peace on the border. The negotiating table in Kyoto determines how long this peace lasts.

Just that time, he promised his father to use his own position change to punish a general of the Han family. Fortunately, he grasped the measure well and did not let Da Zhao lose a general.

But this stalemate briefly broke the original balance. Although the balance was restored later, that time it was the weak eldest prince and second prince who had to provide disaster relief.

In the end, the eldest prince died, and the second prince contracted the plague and was seriously injured and died!

He regretted his decision more than once, but now seeing his daughter living safely in the countryside, although life was hard, at least she was no longer bound by the Jiang family and life was simpler.

I can only comfort myself silently in my heart. If there is a chance in the future, I will secretly repay the Han family's losses.

My old bones are useless, but fortunately, the children my daughter gave birth to are all good. I can only wait until the right time to tell them about the grievances and let the younger generation communicate.

But putting aside the feud with the Han family, my father had clearly stated in the "deal" that year that he would no longer pursue the crime of Hui Niang running away from her marriage.

Now that he has found the person, he has told him implicitly, so why would he obstruct it?

He knew that he was traveling around the world with his wife looking for his relatives!

Thinking again about the person behind Jiang Si, a hint of murderous intent flashed in Jiang's father's cold eyes, which was completely different from his usual elegant appearance as a humble old gentleman.

He asked in a deep voice: "The head of the family would not easily reveal the whereabouts of the eldest lady to others, so how did she know?"

She, naturally, refers to the old lady, his stepmother, the real master behind Jiang Si.

He never called that person mother behind her back. He only respectfully called her "mother" in front of his father and never said anything else.

Jiang Si's eyes flashed with guilt, and he said without any sign of resistance: "Yes... I told the old lady the master's guess, and I was ordered to find the whereabouts of the eldest lady."

"Haha, I didn't expect that you are such a loyal servant. You even dare to gossip about that woman in the letters from the master's study!" Father Jiang gritted his teeth, his palms clenched on the armrests of the chair, veins bulging.

His daughter and wife are his weak spots that cannot be touched. Jiang Si is obviously repeatedly dancing under his bottom line.

If he could tolerate the existence of such people, he would not have been so violent and violent.

"Jiang Fu!" he called out in a deep voice.

Uncle Fu responded quickly: "Yes!" His voice was loud, but also filled with anger.

"I remember that you once learned in Jishitang how to pull out a person's tongue without endangering his life. Is this true?"

Uncle Fu glanced at Jiang Si, who was lying on the ground in shock, and said to him sinisterly, "My Lord, I have indeed learned it, but I haven't used this technique for a long time, so I am a little rusty. I think the process will be painful, but it doesn't matter, I guarantee it won't cost anyone's life!"

Anyone with a discerning eye knows that this means they will torture the person first and then have their tongue pulled out!

Father Jiang then glanced at his wife and daughter, watching them holding each other tightly. A soft light flashed in his eyes, and then he became resolute again. He said to Father Bai and Bai Qingyun: "You should go back to the yard to eat first. The scene later will definitely not be good, so don't watch it."

The nanny guarding the gate was about to come in to help when she heard Bai Qingyun say, "Wait!"

She stared at Jiang's father, her eyes showing a firmness that could not be refused: "You can't pull it out!"

Uncle Fu had just taken a step back to the house to get the tools, but he had to retract it, thinking that in the face of such a clever young lady, it would be better to directly state the purpose of doing so.

Although she is young, she has her own ideas in her mind. But seeing her determination in stopping him now, one can only think that she is still young and soft-hearted.

This is nothing. If a young girl wants to cultivate the ability to remain calm in times of crisis and make decisions when necessary, it will be difficult for her to achieve this requirement if she has little experience.

Furthermore, if she is cruel, she will have committed many murders, which is indeed cruel for a woman who should be as gentle as jade.

Fortunately, he is not so old that he cannot move, and he can still protect the young ladies and be their "killer", protecting them as they grow up like he protected the young ladies. This can be regarded as repaying the Jiang family's kindness... and some of his own personal affairs!

To be presumptuous, he watched Bai's mother grow up and had long regarded her as his own daughter, so naturally he had to protect his daughter's children.

However, what needs to be explained must be explained clearly to avoid any doubts in the young lady's mind, and to prevent her from thinking that the master is cruel and causing further misunderstandings.

He retracted his old legs and walked forward, patiently saying, "Young lady, you don't know that Jiang Si already knows that you are in Jiangzhou. According to the temperament of the patriarch, he will not pursue the matter. But if the old lady interferes, it will probably cause unnecessary trouble for you."
