Chapter 12

  She gazed at the elderly man's face, filled with obvious nostalgia, and sighed inwardly, thinking that Yu Xi was indeed a fortunate person. At this stage in her life, there were still people who remembered her. As for herself, for the past eighteen years, since she became aware of things, she had been carrying the debt of being an unfilial daughter to her parents, and could only sigh alone as she went through each day. She did not wish to relive such a life of compromise.

  Jiang Wanmu gazed at the older man of the Yu family, then turned her head to look at Jiang Anhe who sat back with a gloomy face. Her small eyes immediately lit up, seeing the Yu family treating the Jiang family with cold indifference, she knew they secretly resented the Jiang family for deceiving their eldest daughter. This humiliating hatred had been etched into the bones of the Yu family. The Yu and Jiang families would inevitably continue to secretly feud, looking at this situation, there would be no chance of affection within three generations.

  Jiang Wanmu handed the package directly to the young man, who looked at her in astonishment as she placed it on the table in front of him. With a sincere bow to the two Yu family members, she said: "This is the deed to the Yu family's other estate, as well as its income for all these years. Please, gentlemen, take a close look and confirm receipt. I thank the Yu family for not pursuing me about the other estate over the years." The older man listened to her words, shook his head, and said: "Things given away by the Yu family are never taken back. You'd better keep it, so you'll have something to rely on in the future."

  He stretched out his hand and pushed the package forward, advising: "You take it back. After you leave the palace, you'll still need some money to use." The older man naturally heard Lian Hua's words, he sighed lightly and said: "Your birth mother has taken a wrong path, you can't follow in her footsteps again. You have nowhere to go, I've made up my mind, this separate courtyard will still be given to you." Jiang Wanru saw the sincerity of these two people in front of her, but before her eyes flashed Yu Niang's crying face, and those hateful words: "If only you weren't born, it would be better. Now that you're leaving, you still have to appear in front of me and annoy my eyes."

  When Jiang Wanru's words reached this point, the two men of the Yu family could only accept the package. The older man looked at Jiang Wanru with an unpredictable expression in his eyes. Jiang Wanru just smiled lightly and nodded to Jiyuan to take out something else. When Jiang Wanru took a roll of things from Jiyuan's hand, she put it directly on the table where the Yu family was sitting, and said lightly: "After Madam Yu left, I was able to grow up safely in the Jiang family, and after marrying into the Wang family, I was able to leave the house safely, all thanks to the Yu family's secret care."

  Lian Hao walked over at this time and happened to hear Jiang Wanru's words. He looked at the Yu family members several times, seeing the conflicting expressions on their faces. In his heart, he thought, "I didn't expect that Jiang Wanru's birth father and mother's side of the family would be so thin, no wonder her personality is so calm." He smiled and took over the conversation, saying: "Wanru, it's getting late, you should finish your errands early after leaving the house and not linger in the city for too long. It's better to return to the other courtyard to rest earlier."

  Jiang Wanmu finished speaking, without looking at the expressions of the four people on the main seat, and called out to Jiyuan: "It's late, let's leave the palace early." Jiang Wanmu didn't look back at the expressions of the people in the hall again. She and Jiyuan walked out of the silent grand hall with their heads held high. Lian Hao followed closely behind them for a few steps before hearing Lian Ang's voice behind him: "Hao, I have something to discuss with you." Lian Hao had no choice but to turn around and walk towards Lian Ang's side.

  Lian Ang carefully looked at the calligraphy, and quickly covered up the emotions in his eyes. He and Lian Xuan exchanged a disbelieving glance towards Lian Hua. Lian Xuan's voice was laced with resentment as he said to Lian Hua, "Hua, such a good piece of calligraphy, bought with a hefty sum, how could you so casually give it to a woman who doesn't appreciate its value?" Lian Hua looked at him with an innocent expression, shaking his head and saying, "Second brother, you know I wouldn't buy these things. In the past, when I bought those paintings and calligraphies for you all, after you took them, you said I was wasting my money."

  Some people with insight in the hall smiled and bid farewell, leaving behind those close to the old king and queen. The old king had an early appointment with an old friend and hurried out. The old queen was tired from a morning of hard work and needed to rest. The king and his son had important matters to discuss, so they handed over the task of entertaining the guests to the queen and the crown prince's wife. The four men entered the study with serious expressions, and after a long time, the door opened and they came out looking relaxed.

  Ji Yan nodded repeatedly after hearing this, calling out: "Little Lazy Miss." Jiang Wanru's eyebrows furrowed upon hearing this. She reached out to gently pinch Ji Yan's face, mischievously smiling at her as she said: "If you call me 'Miss' again next time, I'll take advantage of the fact that you haven't officially married my brother yet and bully you a bit more. Come on, say my name once more." Ji Yan felt that Jiang Wanru was clearly angry at this moment. Meanwhile, Jiang Wanru felt that she had lessened the pressure from her family weighing down on her head, and the sky seemed bluer and more delightful than ever.
