Chapter 171 Kneeling Down
Because Mrs. Xu and Dong Shu had exchanged glances just now, and they had roughly discussed at home what they would do when they came to Jiang's house today, so Dong Shu couldn't help but 'remind' Mrs. Xu: "Mother, we are here today, and we have other things to do."

As soon as Dong Shu opened her mouth, Mrs. Xu paused, and then she couldn't help but sigh.

As for Jiang Han, he also instantly regained his senses in Dong Shu's voice.

Thinking of the purpose of the Xu family's visit today, Jiang Han's weak heart, which was just said by the old lady Xu, instantly hardened a little.

He knew that if Xu Yanzhu was really allowed to leave the Jiang family, it would be hard to say whether he could benefit from the Xu family in the future, so for the sake of the Jiang family, he had to tear a piece of meat from the Xu family this time.

Mrs. Xu may have guessed Jiang Han's thoughts long ago. After Dong Shu reminded herself, she looked at Jiang Han and said directly: "Jiang Han, I think you understand the purpose of our coming to you today." Mrs. Xu also kept staring at Jiang Han, seeing that he nodded after hearing this, and then continued: "I don't know, but did you ask Yan Zhu about that person's identity?"

Jiang Han didn't expect that Mrs. Xu would ask himself this question. After a moment of silence, he looked at Mrs. Xu tentatively and said, "Could it be that grandma doesn't know who this person is?"

"You don't even know?" Mrs. Xu looked at Jiang Han in surprise, and after seeing the seriousness on his face, she couldn't help sighing again, "I thought about it all night at home, but I didn't figure out who this person is. who."

After saying this, the old lady Xu didn't wait for Jiang Han to speak, so she continued on her own, "Yanzhu was raised by me, and I know her temperament very well. What's more, since ten years ago we The Xu family left the capital, and Yanzhu stayed in Xiahe Village all the time and never went out. I really don't understand how she would be willing to make such a sacrifice. "

What Mrs. Xu said was the truth, and this was exactly what she couldn't understand.

She couldn't figure out what the identity of this person was, and Xu Yanzhu, who had been carefully raised by her, was willing to let go of her identity and do such a thing.

You know, if Jiang Han tells the truth about this matter regardless of the Jiang family's face, the reputation of all the unmarried and married women in her Xu family will be affected.

This is the family, Xu Yanzhu will not fail to understand this.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Xu suddenly thought of a name, but she quickly rejected it.

If he is still alive, as long as he shows up, relying on the guilt of the Holy One and the power of the Hu family, he will definitely be established as the grandson.

But besides him, where would Yanzhu have the chance to meet other foreign men?
Jiang Han has been paying attention to the old lady Xu's expression, and seeing her expression change so much, he couldn't help asking after the old lady Xu recovered, "Grandmother has a guess in her heart?"

As soon as she heard Jiang Han's words, Mrs. Xu knew that he had been paying attention to her just now.

Therefore, Mrs. Xu didn't hide anything, and directly said what she was thinking just now.

"Jiang Han, do you know about Yanzhu and the late prince's eldest son?"

As soon as Mrs. Xu spoke, Jiang Han understood what Mrs. Xu meant.

Xu Yanzhu grew up with the eldest son of the prince's family at the beginning, and the two families wanted to get married, so Xu Yanzhu was raised according to the requirements of the prince's eldest daughter-in-law before anything happened to the Xu family.

Later, although the prince's family had an accident, Xu Yanzhu left the capital with the Xu family, even after her aunt and the others returned to the capital, she did not come back.

Can a woman who almost married the eldest son of the crown prince and might become the next crown princess really fall in love with other men casually?

Jiang Han thought it was impossible.

Thinking of this, Jiang Han replied directly: "I know a little bit." After saying this, Jiang Han thought for a while and continued: "But that person has passed away for many years, is his position in Yan Zhu's heart still so important? "

It's not that Jiang Han said such a thing out of nowhere, but that he really doubted it.

After all, no matter how good the relationship between Xu Yanzhu and Ye Yan was at the beginning, the two of them were not very old at that time, let alone develop any substantive things.

After so many years, the Xu family lost because of the prince's family. Does Xu Yanzhu really not hate the royal family at all?

Jiang Han couldn't figure it out. He didn't think that after so many years, Ye Yan would still have such an important position in Xu Yanzhu's heart.

Mrs. Xu could understand why Jiang Han asked such a question, after all, she had considered this question before.

"Jiang Han, you may not know how important the word 'feeling' is in Yan Zhu's heart. At the beginning, the one who gave Yan Zhu love, Yan Zhu would naturally return his love with sincerity. What's more, there are Isn't it good to say something? The living people are always not as important as the dead people, and the place left in the bottom of my heart is more important."

As soon as Mrs. Xu finished speaking, Jiang Han sighed and closed his eyes.

He naturally understands that Xu Yanzhu regards love as important, otherwise she would not have been willing to marry him as his successor back then.

You know, the identities of the two wives he married before were not as good as Xu Yanzhu.

According to the rules, even if he marries another stepwife, his status will only be worse than that of the previous two wives, because this is the respect given to the previous two wives and their natal families.

But in the end, he married back a girl from the Xu family who the previous two wives and natal families did not dare to disagree with.

Although the Xu family hadn't returned to Beijing last year, the heritage of the Xu family still exists after all.

Not to mention that the eldest son of the Xu family was still an official in Beijing at that time, and Xu Yanzhu not only had an aunt of the princess, but also an aunt of the prince and concubine.

Just relying on these two women, Xu Yanzhu's identity, it is impossible to marry him a merchant as his successor.

He was able to successfully marry Xu Yanzhu because of tricks and his aunt's persecution of Xu Yanzhu.

After thinking about this, Jiang Han opened his eyes and told Mrs. Xu what he said to Xu Yanzhu yesterday.

"Grandmother, in fact, yesterday Han had already negotiated with Yanzhu. As long as he can come to see me and talk to me within a hundred days of filial piety in Jiang's house, I will forcefully decide that Yanzhu was the late Liang family. I only use Yanzhu as the reason for my younger sister, let Yanzhu be free." After saying this, Jiang Han was afraid that Mrs. Xu would not believe it, and continued to add: "After all, even if Yanzhu is not my wife, she is still my cousin. What's more , the matter that Yan Zhu and I did not consummate the marriage before, many wives of other families can see it."

As for whether anyone has noticed Xu Yanzhu's changes in the past two months, Jiang Han can't guarantee it.

But at least, if he hadn't caught Yanzhu throwing up yesterday, and later he called a doctor, he wouldn't have noticed.

Hearing Jiang Han's words, Mrs. Xu and Dong Shu breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as Jiang Han is willing to talk about it.

"Yesterday, I asked your third aunt to send a letter to your third uncle. Last time I heard that he will return to Beijing in the near future. Why don't you ask your third uncle to talk with you when the time comes?"

The meaning of the old lady Xu is very clear, and the Xu family is not going to let this person go.

Even if this matter was voluntary by Xu Yanzhu, but when something like this happened, the Xu family would definitely want an explanation.

Jiang Han didn't expect that Mrs. Xu could still make such a promise. Jiang Han naturally wished for it to be able to talk with the Xu family's third uncle with the best future in person.

He knew, looking at these three uncles, he seemed to be focused on being a general, but he also had business in the capital.

"Since grandma has spoken, I will push back the time limit set yesterday by half a month. After all, the third uncle is also following the emperor's order to go out of Beijing this time. He brought the soldiers with him, and it doesn't mean that he can return to Beijing just by returning to Beijing."

As soon as Jiang Han said this, Mrs. Xu and Dong Shu looked at each other happily.

Half a month was enough time for the Xu family to deliver a letter to Xu Shiqiu and get Xu Shiqiu back from Datong.

Now that the matter was settled, Mrs. Xu naturally proposed to meet Xu Yanzhu to see if she could ask some questions.

Jiang Han has already made so many concessions, and he wants to make the Xu family owe him favors, so naturally he will not refuse such a thing.

At this moment, Jiang Han already thought clearly, as long as the Xu family owes him enough favors this time, when the fifth prince ascends the throne in the future, Xu Shiqiu, the younger brother who has the best relationship with the fifth prince and concubine, will definitely be reused.

At that time, his Jiang family's business will definitely be able to reach a higher level.

Even Jiang Han thought that if he could, he would change the situation that the Jiang family had been merchants but not officials.

As long as things are well controlled this time, he will definitely have what he wants.

The old lady Xu and Dong Shu didn't care what Jiang Han was thinking at this moment. After receiving Jiang Han's words that he could go to see Xu Yanzhu, the two left here, and under the guidance of the servants, they went directly to the courtyard where Xu Yanzhu lived.

The servant woman guarding the door saw the old lady Xu and Dong Shu coming, and understood the meaning of the Patriarch, and naturally retreated slowly.

Huayu and Huaci discovered this matter immediately, and then informed Xu Yanzhu.

Xu Yanzhu's complexion today was better than yesterday's, but it was only a little bit.

Because of her pregnancy, her complexion was not very good, at least when Mrs. Xu and Dong Shu saw it, her eyes were red with distress.

As soon as Xu Yanzhu saw that Mrs. Xu and Dong Shu were coming, she quickly propped herself up and climbed off the bed, and then knelt down on the cold stone floor regardless of the obstruction of Huayu and Huaci.

"Grandmother, Yanzhu is sorry for your upbringing, and I'm sorry for the Xu family." As soon as the words finished, Xu Yanzhu burst into tears.

Seeing Xu Yanzhu like this, the old lady Xu, who originally wanted to reprimand her, couldn't say anything.
