After reading my mind, Daddy, why don't you smile?

Dry Garden.

Zhao Ying had just finished breakfast with Shangguan Qingyue. As soon as the little girl woke up, she yelled that she wanted to see her third brother. Zhao Ying had no choice but to tell her the truth, "Your third brother has returned to the Jiang family."

【why? 】

Zhao Ying sighed, "Because your third brother wants to repay the favor."

She couldn't force this matter, otherwise it would create a rift between her and Qi You.

She knew her child well. He had a very stubborn temper. The more she tried to persuade him, the more stubborn he became.

He felt sorry for his adoptive father who had no children to rely on. The child was a sincere person, and it was difficult for her to do it, so she would start with his adoptive father.

People living in this world always have something to ask for.

If someone asks for something, she can give him what he wants.

[How long will it take for him to repay the favor? ]

Seeing that the little guy was not very happy, Zhao Ying coaxed him softly, "Don't worry, Yue'er. In a few days, mother will be able to bring your third brother back."

Just as she was coaxing him, Nanny Li came back.

"Your Highness, I have found out!"

Zhao Ying put down her chopsticks and said, "Speak."

"I asked a maid brought from Liuyang by the Jiang family. Jiang Bisheng has a good reputation. He traveled all over the country with his gambling skills and accumulated a fortune. Later, he met the current Madam Jiang."

"This Madam Jiang was originally the daughter of a tea tenant in the south of the Yangtze River. She had an older brother. Because the family was poor, her father sold her to the Jiang family. Madam Jiang was very lucky and caught the eye of Jiang Bisheng. The maid married into the Jiang family and became the wife."

"According to common sense, this is a good marriage, but this Madam Jiang is confused. Not only does she often use money to support her family, but after her brother died, she even raised her nephew in her name, intending to... let Jiang Bisheng give all his property to that nephew."

"At first Jiang Bisheng was still holding back until Madam Jiang was infertile for many years. Jiang Bisheng had no choice but to adopt his third brother. Later he accidentally found out that it was not him who was infertile, but that there was something wrong with Madam Jiang. Madam Jiang must have drunk something very cold a few years ago, which destroyed her foundation, and that's why she couldn't get pregnant!"

"Jiang Bisheng then confronted Mrs. Jiang, but Mrs. Jiang said confidently that her father had repeatedly told her to take good care of her brother and nephew before he died."

"Her brother was the backbone of her family. Now that her brother is gone, she wants her nephew to support her family... In the end, the man in the same family sucked her bones and marrow, but she didn't realize it."

"Jiang Bisheng was so angry that he wanted to divorce her. Madam Jiang was a scoundrel who was looking for death. Jiang Bisheng was kind-hearted and didn't want to see Madam Jiang die, so he delayed it."

"Later, probably out of consideration for our third brother, Jiang Bisheng did not take a concubine or have children."

Zhao Ying shook his head upon hearing this and said with emotion: "My son is so lucky to have such a good adoptive father. No wonder he insisted on repaying his kindness..."

Matron Li frowned, "But if this is the case...it will be difficult to deal with the return of Third Brother..."

Zhao Ying was also worried. The little fellow muttered in his heart:

[Don't worry, Madam Jiang is going to commit suicide tonight, and Third Brother will have no place to live... Mother just needs to go to the Jingzhao Yin Yamen to support Third Brother! ]

Shangguan Qingyue's eyes rolled around, as if he was thinking of some evil idea.

[If I tell my mother, she will definitely not let me go to watch the fun. Then I will sneak to the Jingzhao Yin Yamen in the evening. My mother will definitely go with me to find me. In this way, both mother and I can go! ]

[Help! I am too smart! ]

Zhao Ying: ...

Jiang Mansion.

Mrs. Jiang returned to the bedroom, and soon, Fan Ren rushed in with a ferocious look on his face and a bad tone, "Aunt, why is that little bastard back?!"

Mrs. Jiang's face brightened slightly when she saw her beloved nephew coming. She stood up and poured a cup of cold tea for Fan Ren, "Calm down. That little bastard is still young after all. The government can't keep him in prison for long. It's normal to let him go!"

Fan Ren said irritably: "When can I become the true eldest young master of the Jiang family?"

"Don't worry. Although you are not included in the Jiang family tree and are not a member of the Jiang family, isn't your life more respectable than that Jiang Youhou?"

"That's true..."

Whenever Fan Ren mentioned Jiang Youhou, he felt his teeth itching to bite this Cheng Yaojin who showed up out of nowhere and affected his fortune. It was only half a year, his parents died half a year earlier, and his aunt wouldn't let his uncle adopt a wild child!

"That's all thanks to my aunt's care!"

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Jiang felt warm at heart, thinking that her nephew was indeed a sensible and grateful man. Her father was right, Fan Ren was a promising man. Although he had been treated like a villain and encountered some setbacks now, he was still capable.

She had just arrived in Beijing a few days ago and was thinking of going for a walk on the street when she met a blind man who was telling fortunes on the street. The blind man said that there was a noble person in his family.

The more she thought about it, the more she felt that this noble man must be her nephew!

When Fan Ren saw Mrs. Jiang's expression, he knew that he had flattered her effectively.

So he continued to take pictures and made Mrs. Jiang feel confused.

Fan Ren changed the subject and grabbed Madam Jiang's arm, "Aunt, do you have any money left? Can you give me some? I recently met an important person, and this favor... I need money to make up for it."

Mrs. Jiang said in embarrassment: "You also know that your uncle is wary of me. I can't touch large sums of money at all."

There was a trace of disgust in Fan Ren's eyes. What a stupid guy.

But he said with regret: "Forget it then... I don't have this opportunity. Auntie, you don't know that the people I made friends with in the past are like crows compared to the one I met recently. That pomp and circumstance... If we take him down, are we afraid that the Jiang family will not be able to stand in the capital?"

When Fan Ren mentioned this, he couldn't help but sneer, "If I had known this noble man earlier, the Dice King wouldn't have been raided by the soldiers!"

"How could there be such a capable person?"

Mrs. Jiang was surprised, "Who is this person?"

Fan Ren pretended to be profound and whispered to Madam Jiang, "The youngest son of the chief steward of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion!"

"Isn't it awesome?"

"What?! Duke's Mansion?!"

Madam Jiang's eyes widened in disbelief. "You actually have a connection with the Duke's Mansion?"

Fan Ren was so pleased with himself that he crossed his legs and trembled. "That's nothing! I heard from Master Qian Liu that the princess of our Great Chu lives in his house, and he even ate a plate of cakes and pastries that the princess gave him as a reward!"

Mrs. Jiang's eyes lit up when she heard this, and even her fat cheeks turned red, showing how excited she was.

"If we have the connection with the Duke's Mansion, are you still afraid that your uncle won't listen to us?"

Madam Jiang felt that she was about to be proud of herself. Her heart was pounding. She said in a trembling voice, "Aren, don't worry. Your aunt will find a way for you to get the money. You must remember to seize this opportunity. You are the pillar of the Fan family. The Fan family depends on you!"

The more Mrs. Jiang thought about it, the more she felt that in order for Fan Ren to succeed, she, as his aunt, could not hold him back, so she hurried into the inner room to search for money, but she had already sold all the valuable things in the house.

She searched for a long time before finding dozens of taels of silver.

She came out holding the silver and cursed, "This damned family is so stingy!"

She was a respectable lady, but she was so poor that she only had a few dozen taels of silver left.

When Fan Ren took a look, his eyes drooped instantly.
