Tea Merchants of the Song Dynasty

Looking at Jiang Erniang's confused expression, Jiang Yin felt very complicated and didn't know whether he should say some things.

After all, it was a matter between the second wife and her husband, so it would be inappropriate for her to say it.

Fortunately, Xie Daoyun came over and the two stopped talking. Jiang Erniang even deliberately went somewhere else and ignored Xie Daoyun.

Xie Daoyun pinched his eyebrows with a headache, not knowing what to do.

Jiang Yin hesitated for a moment, glanced at Jiang Erniang who was not far away, and then tilted his head and asked, "What does Second Uncle think? When will he tell Second Niang your true identity?"

As the head of the family, she would understand that Xie Daoyun had been behaving abnormally for a long time and it was normal, so Xie Daoyun would not suspect anything.

As expected, Xie Daoyun did not ask her why she knew, but pursed his lips and said resentfully: "You didn't tell her?"

He had made a special trip to make room for them, but he didn't expect that he didn't even say anything.

"What?" Jiang Yin pointed at himself in disbelief. He lowered his voice and said, "Second uncle didn't say anything himself, but pointed at me to be the bad guy?"

She asked why Xie Daoyun was looking at her strangely, and it turned out that he was waiting for her here.

What a joke, this matter should be solved by the couple themselves. Why is she, an outsider, interfering in it?

"You propose the conditions." Xie Daoyun said, "I'll grant you three conditions. If you can make your second mother not care about this matter, I'll add three more."

He has already lost the best opportunity to confess. If he confesses rashly now, his wife might be even more angry.

Jiang Yinle said: "Will Second Uncle not help me if I ask Second Mother for help?"

Xie Daoyun has always been a henpecked man, or rather, he dotes on Er Niang. He is willing to obey whatever Er Niang says.

Even if there are no conditions to agree to, as long as Er Niang asks, Xie Daoyun will naturally help.

Xie Daoyun paused for a moment, a hint of embarrassment flashed across his face, but he still said seriously: "That's different."

He is not a nosy person, and his wife will not cause trouble for him for no reason.

But he will do his best to fulfill the conditions he promised himself.

"Hmm~" Jiang Yin pretended to think, "Second Uncle, let me think about it. After all, not everyone can withstand Second Mother's anger."

She was also afraid when Er Niang got angry.

Hearing this, Xie Daoyun smiled: "Okay, I'll ask you later."

Jiang Yin: ???

Later? She planned to think about it for a few days.

Xie Daoyun said faintly: "Can you bear to let your second mother continue to be unhappy?"

We will arrive in Tokyo soon. When my wife finds out about this in Tokyo, it will be a big deal.

While there was still some time to buffer on the road, he also wanted to try his best to make his wife accept it.

Jiang Yin said speechlessly: "Second Uncle, have you ever thought that Second Mother would be even angrier after she knew about this?"

No one would be happy to know that they had been kept in the dark for so many years, not to mention that nothing would be able to be hidden after arriving in Tokyo in a few days.

Xie Daoyun frowned and said, "I haven't thought about going back. It doesn't matter if I don't go back."

All of that has nothing to do with him, and he won't have any contact with them in the future, so what does it matter whether he says it or not?

If his wife hadn't insisted on going back to see that old man this time, he would never have gone back.

Jiang Yin didn't dwell on this question any more, but asked curiously in a low voice: "Can I ask why my second uncle cut off ties with our family?"

Although she knew it, the source of the information was unknown, so she couldn't say it out loud.

At this point, Xie Daoyun didn't want to hide it anymore, and just said with a straight face: "He let my mother down and caused her to die of depression."

He didn't know this when he was young, but later he heard something by accident and checked it out, and found that it was true.

Afterwards, he had a quarrel with his father and ran away from home, vowing not to return.

Jiang Yin said with a complicated expression: "Have you asked your father?"

Sometimes what you see with your own eyes and hear with your own ears is not necessarily the truth. What if Xie Daoyun misunderstood, then all the years of mutual torture would have been in vain.

She actually felt that since he was the chief academic officer of the Imperial College after all, he should not have misbehaved.

"I asked him, and he admitted it." Xie Daoyun curled his lips and said sarcastically, "I gave him a chance to explain, but the facts are the facts, and they can't be changed no matter what."

Otherwise, how could he have been like this for so many years?

Jiang Yin was speechless. If it was true, then there was really nothing that could be done. It was understandable that Xie Daoyun did not forgive his father.

She was curious about how he was sorry, but Xie Daoyun's mother had passed away, so she didn't ask too much to avoid making others sad.

After a long while, she managed to utter, "My condolences, second uncle."

Afterwards, Xie Daoyun didn't really ask about this matter after a while, but asked it the next day.

Jiang Yin promised with a serious face: "Don't worry, Second Uncle, I will complete the task."

She would do this not for those conditions, but just to make Er Niang less passive after coming to Beijing.

What I said yesterday about considering it was just to make Xie Daoyun suffer a little. It was his fault for keeping it a secret for so long.

However, when she really went to tell Er Niang about this, Er Niang's reaction shocked her.

It turned out that Er Niang had already known about this a long time ago.

Jiang Yin was shocked and asked, "Second Mother, when did you know?"

The direction of this matter made her a little confused.

She was becoming more and more confused about what Er Niang and her family were doing.

Jiang Erniang said unhappily, "I knew about this before we got married. It was your second uncle's father who told me."

In fact, he could see that his father-in-law felt guilty towards his husband, but he was too embarrassed to argue and explain.

Actually, my father-in-law is not a bad person. It's just that there has been a long-standing grudge between the father and son, and the conflict is difficult to reconcile.

Jiang Yin was shocked and said, "Did the chief priest object to your marriage?"

Logically speaking, they would oppose it.

Jiang Erniang sighed and said, "Maybe you owe your second uncle. He didn't object and let us live a good life. Besides, our Jiang family is not bad either."

It is also a blessing for Xie Daoyun to marry her.

"Second Mother is right. We are not bad either." Jiang Yin echoed, "So what does Second Mother think about this trip to Beijing?"

In Mengshan, you can still ignore the identity of the chief priest, but this is no longer possible in Tokyo. It is not easy to enter a high-ranking family.

"What else can we think of?" Jiang Erniang said quietly, "The person is about to die, let's go and see him off and then come back."

Jiang Yin's mouth twitched slightly, and he said weakly: "What if I can't die?"

She guessed that the chief priest had thought it through and was pretending to be sick in order to improve their relationship.

"It's better if he doesn't die." Jiang Erniang said indifferently, "In that case, if he welcomes us, we will go to see him. If not, then we will go back to the mansion and return to Mengshan.

Haven't you already bought a house in Tokyo? We are not afraid of him."

As for the father-in-law and the husband, she must stand on the side of her husband.

Let him see that his grandson has been kind and righteous enough, and he cannot allow himself to be bullied and oppressed by others.
