Seeing that she still didn't speak, Jiang Mingyun tugged at her clothes.
When Madam Zhou saw this scene, her eyebrows twitched. Could it be that Zhang'er was being forced into marriage by Mingyun?
Why does this situation seem strangely similar to the scene when I married Zhou's father?
Could it be that Zhou's father forced her to marry him back then, and now the retribution is falling on Zhang'er?
But I was willing at first, it's just that my mother said I had to put on a good show, which is why my father acted that way...
What if they're really forcing me to get married?
Zhang'er is a girl...
Madam Zhou thought about it more and more, and in the process, she had already considered hundreds of possible scenarios and ways to deal with them.
"Mother, it's like this..."
Zhou Hanzhang finally spoke.
Madam Zhou's heart trembled, "My son..."
Zhou Hanzhang noticed that Madam Zhou's expression was a bit strange, but he didn't think much of it and continued, "It's like this, isn't Sister Xinyi getting married soon?"
When Mrs. Zhou heard Jiang Xinyi's name, she thought, "Oh, it has nothing to do with my child."
A sense of relief was visibly felt.
A slight smile appeared on her previously tense face. "You mean Xinyi? It seems she's scheduled to get married on the third day of next month."
Last time, Shulan (Jiang Xinyi's mother) came to see me, wanting to ask if your father had anything that she could transfer to him so that your sister Xinyi could put on a good show.
I was thinking of giving Xinyi that red coral from the South China Sea that your father found earlier as part of her dowry.
Zhou's father, who was on his way to the palace, suddenly sneezed. After wiping his nose, he happily said to the person next to him, "My wife must miss me. She missed me as soon as she left."
Officials around him: ...
Zhou's father had no idea that his beloved wife was planning to give away the South China Sea red coral that he cherished so much that he dared not even handle it for long.
"Mother, there's no rush for Sister Xinyi's dowry."
Zhou Hanzhang interrupted Madam Zhou, "Mingyun overheard some things about Jia Yi a few days ago, and then we secretly inquired about it and found out some things."
Who is Jia Yi?
Madam Zhou was busy with many affairs of state and also had to deal with her father, so she couldn't immediately recall who Jia Yi was.
"He is Sister Xinyi's fiancé."
Upon hearing this, Madam Zhou suddenly remembered that Jiang Xinyi's future husband was indeed from a family surnamed Jia.
Why are you all asking about your brother-in-law?
"I was thinking that Sister Xinyi was about to marry him, and since I had accidentally discovered some things, I just wanted to confirm them."
Jiang Mingyun quickly clarified that she didn't want anyone to misunderstand her.
What's more, this person is Hanzhang's mother.
"Since you came all this way to talk to me about this, what you found out later probably wasn't anything good, was it?" Madam Zhou realized.
Zhou Hanzhang didn't want to reveal that Jiang Mingyun only learned about these things because of her rebirth, so he could only mention some things that were already in reality: "Jia Yi has already married in the countryside, and his son is already five years old."
They also recounted how Jia Yi had coaxed Jiang Xinyi into buying him things, as well as everything they had witnessed that day.
Madam Zhou understood immediately upon hearing this.
Now that Hanzhang and Mingyun have come looking for us, the truth of this matter is beyond doubt.
"Does your sister Xinyi know about this?" Madam Zhou asked.
"No, we don't know how to say it. Sister Xinyi is about to marry him. If she suddenly finds out that he is like this, she might not be able to bear it."
Our plan is to find an opportunity to let Sister Xinyi gradually see through Jia Yi's true colors, so that she will lose heart towards him, and then take the opportunity to break off the engagement.
"But I heard that they have a very good relationship. Do you remember when your sister Xinyi was almost killed? It was this guy surnamed Jia who saved her."
“It’s all fake. It was Jia Yi who set up this scheme to get close to Sister Xinyi,” Jiang Mingyun said.
"Do you have any evidence?"
Both of them shook their heads. This was also what troubled them. Although they knew in their hearts that Jia Yi was no good, they really didn't have any concrete evidence to present.
"If you want Xinyi to discover that person's true colors, it might be difficult in such a short time. There's less than a month left until Xinyi's wedding."
"We are trying to find a way to bring Jia Yi's wife and children over first."
Have you found out where his wife and children are?
Jiang Mingyun nodded. "I have a nanny in my family who works over there."
This old nanny was the one who followed Jiang Mingyun to the prince's residence after she married into the family. It was only after this incident that the old nanny learned about it from Jiang Mingyun.
"Do his wife and children know about this?"
The difference between knowing and not knowing is huge.
Jiang Mingyun was taken aback. Although she remembered that Jia Yi's wife and children were brought over later, she was not sure if the mother and son knew about this.
However, even if the mother and child didn't know it at the moment, they were no good people.
Seeing their expressions, Madam Zhou understood. "Alright, let's send someone to investigate first. Whether they know or not, let's find a way to coax them over."
"So...so they say that guy surnamed Jia is going to abandon them and never intended to take them over. They want them to cause a scene in front of Xinyi first, so Xinyi will know what kind of person that guy surnamed Jia is."
"That's exactly what we were planning to do."
Zhou Hanzhang said, "I'm just afraid that Sister Xinyi might not be able to handle it if she suddenly finds out about this."
“I watched Xinyi grow up. She is not such a fragile person. If what you say is true, Jia Yi is scheming to get close to Xinyi, and he probably has a lot in mind.”
It's no wonder that Madam Zhou, with her extensive experience managing such a large business, immediately guessed Jia Yi's intentions.
"You've told me about this, what do you want me to do?"
Madam Zhou naturally knew Zhou Hanzhang's thoughts. She could basically guess what her child was thinking and doing. She wasn't one of those mothers who controlled their children in everything. If her child had a good idea, she would let them make their own decisions.
They must have come here because they need my help.
"I think Mother, you should find some time to visit Aunt Jiang and give her some information so that they can make plans."
As for Jia Yi, Mingyun and I split up. She found someone to use Xinyi's name to go to the countryside and bring the mother and child over first, and then tell Jia Yi about it to see how he would react.
I'll see if I can find any evidence of Jia Yi's scheme to save Sister Xinyi. If I do, he won't be able to escape the charge of intentional assault.
"We're planning to take advantage of Xinyi's upcoming marriage. You and Aunt Jiang want us to stay with Xinyi for a while to keep an eye on Jia Yi."
Jiang Mingyun continued, "I can go back and ask my mother for help. I can say that I'm planning to get married and that I can stay by Xinyi's side to learn and help out. That way, if Jia Yi makes any unusual moves, we can know in time."
