"Sister Wanzhou..."

As soon as Wan Zhou left Jiang's yard for a distance, Jiang Xuan caught up with him.

Wan Zhou heard it but pretended not to.

"Sister Wanzhou, wait a moment..."

"Mr. Jiang, is there something wrong?" Wan Zhou said indifferently, "If I remember correctly, Mr. Jiang said yesterday that he didn't want to see me again, right?"

Jiang Xuan's past was exposed, and his face was very unnatural and awkward. If possible, he didn't want to get himself slapped in the face, but he had already thought about it. With the divorce letter in Wan Zhou's hands, he could blow up the Jiang family at any time.

"Sister Wanzhou, since you already have a good marriage with General Ji, why not destroy the marriage cancellation letter?" Jiang Xuan immediately added, "Destroy it together with the engagement letter, and pretend that this marriage never happened. How do you think?"

He knew a lot about his marriage with Gu Wanzhou. But Jiang Xuan had already analyzed it thoroughly. Ji Nanzheng was a general known as the god of war in the human world. Gu Wanzhou's donation in exchange for a marriage with Ji Nanzheng undoubtedly hurt the nerves of many people. Gu Wanzhou's move would be scolded by everyone for her ill intentions.

In this case, who would believe that it was the Jiang family who broke off the engagement? As long as he guided public opinion a little more, everyone would conclude that it was Gu Wanzhou who saw the military pay crisis of the court, broke off the engagement with the Jiang family, and then donated money in exchange for the marriage.

As long as Gu Wanzhou didn't produce the marriage certificate, no one would really believe that it was the Jiang family who broke off the marriage. But once the marriage certificate was produced, with the date on it, the Jiang family would have no way to defend themselves against the fact that Gu Wanzhou had donated military pay to break off the marriage.

Wan Zhou didn't know Jiang Xuan's specific plan, but how could she easily give him the letter of withdrawal of engagement?

Pretending to think about it, Wan Zhou said, "That's fine."

"But I have a condition."

"You say." Jiang Xuan said anxiously.

"Do you know why I broke off the engagement?" Wan Zhou glanced at Jiang Xuan: "Because I know you like the second sister."

"How do you know?" Jiang Xuan was a little embarrassed.

"That's not important. What's important is that I think you two are a perfect match, so as long as you marry my second sister before the Spring Examination, I promise that if you get married today, I will destroy the marriage cancellation certificate tomorrow."

What does it matter if there is no letter of withdrawal? The letter of withdrawal can prove their behavior, but to disrupt Jiang Xuan's future in the imperial examination, there is no need to prove it. All you need is someone, such as Mr. Xie who handled the donation, to say a few ambiguous words in front of the emperor.

The emperor values his country and his people the most. If Jiang Xuan dares to be disloyal to the court, he will be eliminated with just a few words.

Yes, she did not intend to take revenge on the Jiang family. Jiang Xuanyin had some talent and thought highly of himself, and wanted to make a name for himself through imperial examinations. For such a person, the most fatal thing for him was to be blocked from imperial examinations.

He also has a wife who only hopes for wealth and glory, and who always expresses her disappointment and disgust at his mediocrity and incompetence.

She was so kind that her revenge was only to make Jiang Xuan depressed and frustrated in his career and his family in dire straits.

"Why are you doing this?" Jiang Xuan looked puzzled. She didn't really believe that Wan Zhou was doing this out of kindness.

"I think you two are a good match."

A pair of dogs and a couple, a match made in heaven.

Wan Zhou talked as he walked, leaving Jiang Xuan with a cold back.

Jiang Xuan stared blankly in the direction where Wan Zhou left.

He is still a little confused and hasn't figured it all out in just one day. Not only has his plan failed, but even his future has become shaky.

Yesterday, he thought Wan Zhou was an invincible fool and a disgrace to Jiang Xuan. Today, he became the invincible fool. He could not see that Gu Wan Zhou was acting. She just wanted to provoke him to take out the divorce letter. He was the monkey being fooled.

And Gu Wanzhou still holds the leverage over him, so for the sake of his future, he has to do as he is told.

Marry your cousin?

Of course he wanted to, she dreamed of it.

But now, what can he use to marry?

Gu Wanzhou was clearly forcing him.

Jiang Xuan intuitively felt that Wan Zhou was no longer the same Wan Zhou as before, but he no longer had the energy to think about it. His heart seemed to have no place to rest and was drifting aimlessly like a piece of paper.

"Miss, I heard that the lady is ill."

The next day, Wan Zhou was leaning back in a recliner reading the notebook left by his mother, and Qiu Ge told him the good news.

This was within Wan Zhou's expectations.

The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. The longer you dream, the more painful it will be when the dream is shattered.

Jiang's planning for more than ten years has come to nothing. Even his anger cannot be vented on her. It would be strange if she doesn't get sick.

Wan Zhou asked Bai Lu to take some supplements to Jiang to express his condolences.

As for herself? She wasn't going.

Now, she and Jiang's mother and daughter all knew the truth and understood it tacitly, so there was only a little bit of concealment between them.

Just pretend.

"Miss, what did the madam write? You are more interested in it than reading a storybook." After Bai Lu went to deliver the supplements, Qiu Ge stretched her neck to take a look at the book, but it was a pity that she could not read.

"Diary? Do you know what a diary is?" Wan Zhou looked up at Qiu Ge.

Qiu Ge shook his head.

Wan Zhou smiled and said, "My mother said this is a diary, which records her daily thoughts and actions. I have never seen my mother, but by reading this diary, I can roughly imagine what she looks like."

Qiu Ge seemed to understand, but not quite. When Bai Lu came back, she pulled Bai Lu aside and whispered softly, "Sister Bai Lu, do you think the young lady's temperament has changed drastically recently? Could it be related to Madam's diary?"

Bai Lu looked at Wan Zhou, frowned and thought for a while, "I heard from the old people in the mansion that the late Madam is different from ordinary women. She doesn't like red tape, pays attention to results in everything, and treats servants with clear rewards and punishments. Our young lady?"

Bai Lu looked at Wan Zhou again, "Young lady seems to be more and more like the lady they said she was."

"Yes, yes." Qiu Ge heard Bai Lu say the same thing, so she confirmed it herself: "The young lady must have been influenced by the late Madam."

Qiu Ge originally thought that Wan Zhou's change was as if his soul had been taken away by someone, but now after hearing what Bai Lu said, she firmly believed that it was under the influence of the late lady.

As long as his soul wasn't taken away.

Wan Zhou knew that the two maids were whispering about her, but she ignored them. In her previous life, she had not read much of the booklet left by her mother, because she could not understand it very well, so she just treasured it as a souvenir left by her mother.

Because my mother said in the booklet that she originally lived in the 21st century and traveled here alone.

In her previous life, she was confused when she saw the word "time travel". She didn't understand. She couldn't imagine what time travel was. She couldn't even imagine that there was a so-called 21st century other than the world she lived in.

It was not until she was reborn that she realized, since a person can be reborn, then why can't there be time travel as her mother talked about?

So she began to read the thick booklet carefully. The more she read, the more she was fascinated. She was deeply shocked by the world her mother described and some of her mother's insights, and even yearned for them.

She wanted to live the way her mother described, and be a free and easy woman.

My mother said that her coming into this world was a journey.

So, next, she also plans to travel.

In her previous life, she died in the backyard at the same age as a flower. Now she wants to go out, live the world and experience all kinds of human life.

When the weather got a little warmer, Wan Zhou disguised himself and followed Hua Yang to leave Shangjing.

When she left Shangjing, peonies were in bloom. When she came back, lotus flowers were blooming. While she was walking, more than a year had passed.

If she hadn't heard that Ji Nanzheng had returned triumphantly, she would probably still be lingering in Jiangnan admiring the small bridges and flowing water.

In her previous life, the good news from Huajiang came on the eve of the Spring Examination. She was lying on the hospital bed and heard that her father was about to return triumphantly. She was so happy, but she was suffocated to death by Gu Wanyu before her father came back.

And now it is August, a full six months earlier than the triumph of the previous life.

"Big sister, General Ji has returned triumphantly, are you very happy?" In the morning, when Wan Zhou paid her respects to Jiang and said that she was leaving, Gu Wanyu looked at her with a meaningful smile.

"General Ji's triumphant return means my father has also returned. Of course I am happy." Wan Zhou pretended not to understand the deeper meaning of Gu Wanyu's words.

Seeing Wan Zhou's leisurely expression, Gu Wanyu felt unhappy, so she pretended to be worried and said, "Big sister, people outside are saying that General Ji will definitely refuse the marriage when he comes back. You'd better not go out. If you are recognized, they will laugh at you."

Gu Wanyu said these worried words, but the obvious gloating in her eyes could no longer be hidden.

She and Jiang exchanged glances, and the mother and daughter exchanged glances, waiting for an interesting show.

Wan Zhou pretended not to notice and just said, "I have been ridiculed for more than a year, not just a little while longer."

Speaking of this, Wan Zhou was really a little unhappy.

Is there any justice in this world? She donated 30 yuan to raise food and fodder for the soldiers on the border. It was such a good deed, but she didn't even get a good reputation.

Even mostly bad reputation.

They scolded her for having ill intentions, for being wishful thinking, and for wanting to eat General Ji's swan flesh for the sake of silver. They scolded her for stealing their General Ji.

Damn it, did she steal it? She clearly bought it with real money.

So, Gu Wanyu was not wrong. If she was recognized, she would definitely be ridiculed.

But she can't not go.

If Ji Nanzheng really went to the emperor first to refuse the marriage, she would really become a joke. Not to mention other people, just the mother and daughter in front of her would make her laugh.

She can't do such an unfilial thing.
