After the system ran, I took off with my family
Chapter 218 Scum
"Propose marriage?"
Lin Shuyue raised her eyebrows and asked curiously, "Will the Jiang family agree? Will Zhou Xue'e agree?"
Tang Wanchu nodded vigorously with excitement. She glanced outside the door and then lowered her voice and said, "The matchmaker was sent away politely. There are rumors that Zhou Xue'e and Han Muzhi have secretly decided to get married."
"really?"
Lin Shuyue was extremely surprised. That day, Zhou Xue'e disregarded her own reputation and was determined to plot against Tang Yunci. Logically, she should have had feelings for Tang Yunci. How could she fall in love with someone else so quickly?
Could it be that, just like what is written in the novel, one must repay a life-saving favor with one's own life?
Seeing Lin Shuyue's surprised look, Tang Wanchu explained in a low voice: "Didn't she plot against my second brother before? We are worried that she would not give up and would still plot against my second brother, so my father specially found an inconspicuous but smart person to keep an eye on Zhou Xue'e. According to the report from the spy, Zhou Xue'e and Han Muzhi were seen secretly meeting in a teahouse."
At this point, she suddenly leaned over and said excitedly, "There's more to it than that. What's even more outrageous is that the person who was following her said that Han Muzhi and Yu Tan, Zhou Xue'e's maid, also had a complicated relationship. He once saw Han Muzhi secretly holding Yu Tan's hand outside the box."
"this..."
Lin Shuyue widened her eyes in surprise, "This Han Muzhi is so bold! Isn't he afraid of being exposed?"
Seeing Ah Yue's stunned expression, Tang Wanchu contentedly grabbed a handful of melon seeds and started cracking them, cursing, "Ah Yue, don't be fooled by his decent appearance, but he may be a bit of a coaxer. I heard that Zhou Xue'e is on a hunger strike in Jiang's residence because of him.
Ugh! Han Muzhi is such a scumbag. Seeing his performance that day, I didn’t believe what my second brother said. I didn’t expect him to be so good at pretending. He acted like a decent person in front of others, but he was actually full of evil intentions behind their backs. "
"However, Zhou Xue'e is not innocent either..."
Tang Wanchu threw the melon seed shells onto the plate and chuckled, "It seems like these two are a good match. I just wonder if the Zhou family in the capital can agree to this marriage."
No wonder she was so gloating. In her opinion, Zhou Xue'e was a poisonous snake who was secretly eyeing her second brother.
At the same time, in the study of the Jiang Mansion, Jiang Yushan sat on the armchair, staring at the letter on the table, his face wrinkled like a chrysanthemum.
Gao Yuting stood beside the table and saw that he was still silent, so she asked, "Master, what did my eldest sister say in the letter?"
Jiang Yushan sighed and said helplessly: "Elder sister...Elder sister asked us to check Han Muzhi's character, saying that if his character is okay, then Xue'e will be accepted.
The eldest sister also said that we should look after Xue'e and prepare some dowry."
"what?"
Hearing Jiang Yushan's words, Gao Yuting looked at him in disbelief, "Master, what's going on? Why would my sister agree to marry Xue'e to a poor scholar?"
"besides..."
She took a look at Jiang Yushan's face and asked tentatively, "Master, has the Zhou family encountered any difficulties? Why did they ask us to buy a dowry for Xue'e when she got married? The Zhou family doesn't intend to pay?"
Is the Zhou family crazy? The eldest daughter is getting married and the uncle is asked to prepare the dowry? This is a very good calculation.
Jiang Yushan lowered his head and stared at the clear tea in the cup. After a while, he said in a muffled voice: "Something has indeed happened to the Zhou family. My eldest sister said in the letter that Zhou's brother-in-law has been captured by the Jinyiwei people. It is not known whether he is alive or dead."
"How could this happen? Why did the Jinyiwei want to arrest Zhou's brother-in-law? What did he do wrong?" Gao Yuting opened her mouth in shock and asked repeatedly.
Jiang Yushan glanced at her and said in a serious tone, "My eldest sister said in the letter that after the accident, she went back to the Jiang family to find grandfather, but grandfather did not tell her what crime Zhou's brother-in-law had committed. He only said that the matter involved King Huai'an and he could not intervene. Otherwise, once those mortal enemies who were eyeing the Jiang family knew about it, the Jiang family would be in trouble."
"What...what should we do?" Gao Yuting stamped her feet anxiously, "What crime did Zhou's brother-in-law commit? Don't let it implicate our Jiang family..."
"Alright, alright, this matter should have nothing to do with the Jiang family, why are you in such a hurry?"
Jiang Yushan impatiently picked up the tea and drank it in one gulp. The Jinyiwei directly obeyed the orders of the current emperor. They were all ruthless and cruel. It was said that if you were caught by them, you would lose half your life if you didn't die. I'm afraid that Zhou's brother-in-law...
