Madam Wu shivered several times, not daring to look at Jiang Xueyao's eyes, "I...I..."

She stammered, "I heard that when that woman was young, she was with the heir of the Gu family, but the Gu family opposed it."

"That man was the heir of the Gu family. That woman had no status or background, and they were not a good match. The Gu family did not recognize that woman, and I don't know what method they used to get that man back."

"Maybe because of this incident, the Gu family wants to kill her!"

Mrs. Wu actually didn't know the Gu family's true intentions.

But for her, top wealthy families like the Gu family are untouchable.

If she could just do something like this to establish a relationship with the Gu family, she certainly wouldn't hesitate.

"You...you can't blame me. That's the Gu family. I heard that in ancient times, it was a very powerful ancient clan."

"Some of them are looking for me to do something, which means they think highly of me!"

"You don't know how many people, forces, and even wealthy families are trying their best to get close to the top families in the imperial city."

“It’s exciting just to think about it.”

Whenever Mrs. Wu mentioned the Gu family, a look of fear and excitement appeared on her face.

After hearing these words, Jiang Xueyao's expression instantly turned cold.

So according to Mrs. Wu, her father came from the Gu family, one of the four major families in the imperial city.

But since that was her father, her mother's former lover, he had ignored her mother for all these years.

Someone in the Gu family even wanted to issue a killing order, but she would not acknowledge this father.

She will make sure everything is clear. No matter who dares to order the killing of her mother and brother, she will not let go of anyone in the Gu family.

Feeling the cold murderous intent emanating from Jiang Xueyao, Mrs. Wu couldn't help but tremble all over.

Moreover, because Jiang Xueyao had fed him medicine before, his whole body still hurt.

They all misjudged Jiang Xueyao.

She is really different now than she was before.

As if she had thought of something, Mrs. Wu opened her eyes and mouth wide, and suddenly realized, "You are very different from before."

Not only different, they are almost two different people.

"So, you... have you always been hiding your abilities?"

Although it was a question, Mrs. Wu used an affirmative tone.

She felt that Jiang Xueyao must have been pretending before.

Jiang Xueyao glanced at Madam Wu coldly.

Mrs. Wu felt that Jiang Xueyao's eyes were like knives. She didn't dare to speak carelessly, let alone make random guesses.

Mrs. Wu swallowed fearfully and said carefully, "I've told you everything you want to know. If you forgive me, can you give me the antidote?"

Jiang Xueyao's eyes were cold and icy. "When the Wu family first approached you to investigate, was there any murderous intent in his words?"

Mrs. Wu thought about it carefully and said, "No, he just asked me to investigate the news. Maybe he is not sure whether the woman in the photo is alive."

As if she had thought of something, Mrs. Wu suddenly said, "When I mentioned that the woman had a son, that person asked me without hesitation to arrange for someone to kill the woman and her son, especially her son. It seems like that. Yes, he said that they must not be allowed to live."

The corners of Jiang Xueyao's mouth curled up in a bloodthirsty arc.

Now she probably understood what was going on.

Maybe those people tried to kill my mother once, but she managed to escape but lost her memory.

The people of the Gu family were worried, so after so many years they arranged for someone to investigate the murder again.

How worrying!

She took out the antidote and prepared to give it to Madam Wu. "Madam Wu, the Wu family and the head of the Wu family treated you like that. As soon as you got into trouble, they immediately asked the Wu family to cut off all ties with you. They even wished you dead and would not save you. Are you willing to accept that?"

Mrs. Wu's face was tense and there was hatred in her eyes.

Willing, how could she be willing.

"What's more, Patriarch Wu knew about your relationship with Lin Xingshuo long ago. It's even possible that Lin Xingshuo's death was arranged by Patriarch Wu. Don't you hate the Wu family?"

Jiang Xueyao continued to prescribe a strong dose of medicine.

Mrs. Wu's face turned even paler. "It was him! He killed Lin Xingshuo!"

"He did it on purpose. He did it on purpose. He deceived me when I entered the Wu family. He used me as a shield on purpose!"

Mrs. Wu suddenly realized at this moment that a biting dog doesn't bark.

The Jiang family treated Jiang Xueyao that way. Jiang Xueyao had such ability that she would definitely be able to tear off a piece of Jiang family's flesh.

Jiang Xueyao raised her eyebrows and waited for Mrs. Wu to continue.

"Wu Dong has a close relationship with his sister, but they are not biological siblings. Madam Jiang is not a real member of the Wu family."

"I have been in the Wu family for so many years, and I just learned this news secretly."

That's why Mrs. Wu had an affair with Lin Xingshuo outside because she hated Wu Dong, the head of the Wu family.

She had thoughts of revenge deep in her heart.

But without the power of her mother's family, she could not compete with the Wu family at all.

If Wu Dong had not deceived her back then, she would be living a stable and peaceful life in Beimo City now.

But she happened to be allowed to enter a wealthy family.

After giving birth to Wu Rongrong, Wu Dong seemed like a different person. He probably felt that he didn't need to be hypocritical to her anymore.

When Madam Wu was still alive, she would find fault with her and make all kinds of rules for her.

Wu Dong didn't protect her either.

She just endured it at that time. Only she knew how much she suffered.

At this moment, all those memories came flooding back and Mrs. Wu burst into laughter.

"Ha ha ha ha……"

As she laughed, tears started to come out of her eyes.

Jiang Xueyao learned the news she wanted to know and gave the antidote to Mrs. Wu.

Mrs. Wu tried to kill her mother and brother, so even if she was instructed to do so, she should not be allowed to live.

But she didn't need to do anything, she believed that the Wu family would do everything they could to kill Mrs. Wu.

……

After coming out of the guard station, Jiang Xueyao saw Xiao Qian'an standing outside the door waiting for her.

Seeing that she looked unhappy, Xiao Qian walked up to her and gently touched her hair. "Little girl, what happened? Do you need your brother's help?"

Jiang Xueyao shook her head and said, "It's okay."

Jiang Xueyao came back to her senses and realized that Xiao Qian'an had touched her hair.

She wanted to say something, but Xiao Qian had already taken his hand back.

"It's getting late. I'll take you home to rest first, and then pick you up before the auction tomorrow."

Jiang Xueyao nodded.

After getting in the car, Jiang Xueyao leaned back in her chair and was very quiet all the way.

She was digesting the news that Mrs. Wu had told her.

After coming back to her senses, Jiang Xueyao looked at Xiao Qian'an, seeming to want to say something but stopping herself.

Xiao Qi'an naturally noticed the little girl's expression, tilted his head slightly and looked at her with a smile, "What do you want to say to your brother?"

"Or if you want to ask anything, I'll tell you everything I know!"

Xiao Qian'an's eyes were serious, with twinkling stars in them, gentle as water, and very bewitching in the night.

Jiang Xueyao blinked, avoiding his soul-stirring gaze, and asked softly, "Do you know the heir of the Gu family many years ago?"

She had never met the Gu family, one of the four major families in the imperial city, and had no knowledge of the Gu family.

There is no way for outsiders to find out information about a family like this.

But if it was Xiao Qian, he should know.
