C6 Probing

Remembering what Lady Wu said, Wei Shuyu went back earlier than usual today.

The moment she entered and saw the scene in the room, Wei Shuyu raised her eyebrows.

Wei Zhiyuan, who didn't even give her a proper eye, gave her a smile for the first time today. She was even enthusiastically serving dishes to Ye Zichen at the table.

After dinner, he even pulled her along, insisting on chatting with her about family matters.

"Shuyu, third uncle usually doesn't have the time to care about you. I see you going out in the morning and returning very late, what are you doing outside?" You come back so late every day, and if you meet any villains, how will I explain this to your dead parents? "

Seeing Wei Zhiyuan's kind expression, Wei Shuyu frowned and coldly snorted, "Third Uncle, if you have something to say, just say it. It would also be a waste of your time to go around in circles."

Wei Zhiyuan and Lady Wu looked at each other, but still directly asked, "Alright, then let me ask you, where did you get these thirty silver taels?"

Sure enough, it was for this. Wei Shuyu thought to herself, looking at the two who couldn't hide the greed in their eyes, she didn't tell them directly: "I earned the money from selling things, is there a problem?"

"Selling things can earn that much?" Madame Wu screamed.

Seeing Lili looking at her in surprise, he quickly stopped his expression and said, "Ahem, Shuyu, auntie is worried that you've been cheated because you're too young. We're part of the same family, so don't provoke a lawsuit."

Wei Shuyu glanced at her and chuckled, "Aunt, don't worry, I earned the money from selling my things. You just need to take it in with a peace of mind, and don't forget to help me annul the engagement in Jiang Family."

Lady Wu was startled and laughed dryly as she rolled her eyes. It's not like I can tell this to Jiang Family, so you'll have to come with me tomorrow and you can do it yourself. "

Obviously, Lady Wu didn't want to do the work of offending others, so she directly kicked the matter to Wei Shuyu. If it was a girl born and raised in this dynasty who heard this, they would probably be in a difficult situation for a while. But for Wei Shuyu, it was just right. She was afraid that Madame Wu would make a fuss out of it.

The next day.

Wei Shuyu followed Lady Wu to the Jiang Family. Jiang Family's houses were not like the other houses in the village. They only had a fence around the house to make a yard, and were truly built with walls.

Lady Wu walked up and knocked on the door. After a long time, an old man with a dignified old face opened the door.

Seeing him, Lady Wu quickly smiled and said, "Old Master Jiang, I have some things that I would like to discuss with your wife. Is it possible for you?"

Old Master Jiang looked at Wei Shuyu who was standing behind him, turned around and said, "Come in."

Wei Shuyu was a little surprised, didn't they say that this Jiang Family is pretty rich? Why didn't he invite anyone to protect us?

After entering the room, Old Master Jiang had already called his wife out. The two of them sat in the host's seat and asked Lady Wu who was sitting below: "What is it? Tell me."

"This …" Lady Wu looked at Wei Shuyu.

Wei Shuyu stood up and paid her respects to the two masters first. She then decided to directly say out her purpose: "Old Master Jiang, Old Lady Jiang, I am truly sorry. Actually, I came here today to withdraw …"

"Father!" Mother! Look at what I've caught! " Suddenly, a familiar male voice interrupted Wei Shuyu's words. She saw a man in brocade clothes with water dripping all over his body rush in from the door. He strode into the room with long legs and carried a live fish in his arms!

Wei Shuyu recognized him at a glance. It was the person who she had helped at the market a few days ago, Jiang Family's Minister, Jiang Rann!

At this moment, Jiang Rann finally realized that there was someone else in the room besides his parents. He turned around and looked …

"Big sister goddess!" Jiang Rann shouted in surprise.

"You two know each other?" Old Mistress Jiang's heart skipped a beat when she saw their expressions.

Hearing his mother's words, Big Lang joyfully went forward and tugged at Wei Shuyu's clothes, not bearing a single grudge against her for threatening to show off that day: "Mother, this is my elder sister from the gods, she's so great, help me drive away the bad guys who bullied me, and even helped me take back my belt."

"Belt..." Puff … "Cough! Cough! Cough!" Wei Shuyu almost choked to death on her own saliva. She coughed until her face was completely red.

Looking at the bizarre expressions on everyone's faces, Zhang Xuan hurriedly explained what happened that day to them.

Everyone finally understood. Wei Shuyu raised her hand to wipe away the sweat on her forehead, as she did not notice the smile in the eyes of Big Lang Jiang Family.

"Elder sister goddess, I'll give you the fish! I caught this. " He didn't want to give his parents the fish that belonged to Big Lang Jiang Family. He turned around with the intention of stuffing them into Wei Shuyu's bosom.

Wei Shuyu looked at the fish in confusion. She didn't know whether to accept it or not. Fish was struggling non-stop in Big Lang Jiang Family's embrace, making it difficult for her. She thought for a while and said to Jiang Rann: "About that … Just put it on the table first, I'll take it later. "

"Oh." Jiang Rann obediently placed the fish on the tea table between Old Master Jiang and Old Lady Jiang. The fish continuously jumped about on the table, causing the tea cup to make a crisp sound.

"Elder sister goddess, I missed you so much, did you come to play with me?" Big Lang Jiang Family said happily.

Wei Shuyu's face instantly flushed red and she stammered awkwardly, "No …" "It's not …" It wasn't good to tell Jiang Rann about the annulment of the marriage.

Old Mistress Jiang thought for a bit and told Jiang Rann to go back to his room to change.

Before leaving, Jiang Rann did not forget to shout at Wei Shuyu, "Sister goddess, I'll play with you again later."

Old Mistress Jiang looked warmly at Lady Wu and said, "Since Miss Wei and Dalang are so close, and Dalang likes Miss Wei, we shouldn't withdraw our engagement."

Lady Wu was happy in her heart, but she sighed awkwardly. "Sigh, her parents left early, and I've always been the one who brought her up. Her family is poor, and this girl has been through a lot of hardships. But people are filial and kind. "I've always wanted to repay the favor of raising my family and refuse to marry. I've really worried myself to death!"

Wei Shuyu looked at her coldly.

Old Madame Jiang looked at the two of them with understanding, "It looks like this child is also suffering. Since Lady Wu's family life is difficult, I will add another fifty taels to the marriage gift." "Tomorrow I will send the matchmaker to my door, and this will be settled.

Lady Wu's eyes lit up and she was about to respond in a hurry.

"Old madam Jiang." Wei Shuyu suddenly said, "I wonder if we can talk in private."

Lady Wu instantly became anxious. However, there was nothing she could do to stop Wei Shuyu, so she could only glare at her fiercely.

"Sure." Old madam Jiang nodded in agreement.

As the two of them entered the inner room, Old Lady Jiang calmly said to Wei Shuyu who was following behind them, "There's no one else here. If you have something to say, just say it."

Wei Shuyu sighed, "Madam, can you cancel the marriage?"

Old Mistress Jiang's expression darkened instantly. "Could it be that you find my Dachang a fool?"

"How could that be?" Wei Shuyu quickly explained, "Dalang is a rare case of a pure heart, how could I turn my back on him?"

Old Madame Jiang sized Wei Shuyu up seriously for a moment before smiling, "You see it better than others. Since you don't mind, why don't you agree to it? Your aunt, I can tell from the first glance that she is not a kind person. If you reject this marriage, will you be able to find a better one in the future? "

Wei Shuyu looked at him seriously. "Old Mistress Jiang is only hoping to find someone who truly wishes to be good to Dalang." Even though I've helped him before, it was just to see him being bullied. Even if it were anyone else, I would still have helped. "How can this matter be the reason for Taro's marriage?"

"Then what do you want?" Old madam Jiang asked after thinking for a moment.

Wei Shuyu took a deep breath. "It's fine if you want to get married, but you have to wait until I really fall in love with him and give me a year's time. When that time comes, I'll definitely treat him well."

Old madam Jiang didn't expect to hear these words, but her expression eased a bit, "Alright, then I'll just postpone the marriage for a little while longer, but I'll only give you three months. If you still don't agree after three months, then you must listen to us."
