Jiang Yutong didn't expect that she even knew about this. She shook her head and said, "We're still investigating who it is, but it's probably not from Zhaojia Village."

Jiang Yuwen gritted his teeth and said fiercely, "Tell me who you find out. I'll make sure he knows you're not alone."

Jiang Yutong nodded. She had to admit that sometimes it was quite heartwarming to have such an older brother around.

Jiang Yutong instructed, "The most important thing for you now is to recover from your injuries. It won't be too late to deal with them after you recover."

Jiang Yuwen said fiercely, "Even if I'm injured, I won't have any problem dealing with them."

Then, seeing Jiang Yutong's disapproving look, he immediately added, "Don't worry, I won't do anything rash until my injury heals."

Jiang Yutong finally felt relieved and said to Dong Chengan, "Your task now is to take good care of my brother. Don't leave the house unless you have anything else to do."

Dong Chengan touched his nose and said, "I will listen to Master."

"Then you guys stay here, I'm going to get busy."

Jiang Yuwen waved his hand and said, "Go ahead and get some rest."

Jiang Yutong had no time to rest and went to the farm without stopping.

After leaving the city gate, Jiang Yutong leaned against the carriage to rest. Not long after, the carriage suddenly braked and stopped.

Jiang Yutong almost fell to the ground, but fortunately Xia Zhu was quick-witted and helped Jiang Yutong steady herself.

"Go see what's going on?"

Dongmei lifted the curtain, and the coachman said respectfully, "Miss, there is a little boy stopping the carriage."

At this time, Goudan's voice came, "Sister Yutong, it's me, Goudan."

When Jiang Yutong got out of the car, she saw Goudan being pinned to the ground by a servant.

Seeing Jiang Yutong, the servant quickly said, "This little boy suddenly rushed out from the fields, and I was able to pin him down."

Jiang Yutong quickly said, "Yes, I know him. Let him go."

Jiang Yutong called Goudan over and brushed the dirt off his body. Goudan subconsciously took a few steps back and said, "Sister, no need. It will only dirty your handkerchief."

Jiang Yutong smiled and said, "Aren't handkerchiefs meant to be used? Just wash them when they get dirty."

Goudan's face turned slightly red, and he felt that Sister Yutong was so gentle.

Jiang Yutong clapped his hands and said, "Don't stop the carriage next time. It's so dangerous. If the coachman doesn't hold the reins, the consequences will be disastrous."

Goudan nodded, "I understand."

"Tell me, what's the matter that you are so anxious to stop my carriage?"

Goudan then remembered his purpose and said quickly, "Sister, run quickly! Mr. Zhao is coming to marry you."

Although Jiang Yutong heard every word Goudan said, she was still confused. How could he come to marry her if she didn't agree?

Seeing that Goudan was a little anxious, Jiang Yutong soothed him, "Don't be anxious, speak slowly."

Goudan took a deep breath and then slowly said, "This morning, when my mother went to deliver clothes to Mr. Zhao's house, she heard them talking. She asked me to come over quickly to tell you."

It turned out that Goudan's mother was delivering clean clothes to the rich man Zhao's house, and she took the dirty clothes to wash. She accidentally overheard the conversation between the rich man Zhao and the housekeeper Zhao.

Butler Zhao recounted the story of their trip to the manor. "Jiang Yutong refused to accept our offer and is now leading the people of the manor against us. Master, what do you think we should do next?"

Mr. Zhao, with a big belly and so much fat on his face that his eyes were almost invisible, leaned back in his master's chair and said, "It's just a woman. If you can't even handle this, what's the use of you?"

Butler Zhao lowered his head and whispered, "Jiang Yutong is no different from other women."

Mr. Zhao said nonchalantly, "Women are all the same. I asked you to tell her that you can become my fifteenth concubine."

Housekeeper Zhao quickly said, "I did, but she doesn't agree at all. I told her I didn't want to be a concubine, and that being the master's second wife and enjoying the best food and drink with him was no better than being in the spotlight herself. But she said the master was a toad wanting to eat swan meat."

Butler Zhao lowered his voice when he said the following words. He had been with the wealthy Zhao for so long and knew his temper best. When he heard these words, the wealthy Zhao must have become anxious.

As expected, Mr. Zhao put the teacup down on the table. "How shameless! Since she doesn't want to marry me, I have to marry her. Then she will be completely submissive to me and give me the soap recipe."

Butler Zhao quickly flattered him, saying, "Of course, no woman can escape the master's charm. If the master points east, she won't dare to go west. Then the master will get both the woman and the money."

These words made Zhao Youcai very happy. He touched his big belly and said, "How about this? Tomorrow you will bring your people and the bridal sedan chair, and go directly to the bride's house with gongs and drums. Bring more people with you. I don't believe there is a woman that I, Zhao Youcai, cannot marry."

Butler Zhao said quickly, "Master, your idea is the best. I'll arrange it right away. Master, what if she reports it to the police?"

Goudan's mother was just about to hear what was to be said next, but unexpectedly she saw a maid coming over. She didn't dare to listen anymore and immediately left the Zhao Mansion. After thinking about it, she decided to inform Jiang Yutong. It was thanks to her that the last incident happened. She was a good girl and should not be wasted in the hands of the rich man Zhao.

Goudan's mother asked Goudan to go and inform someone. Just as Goudan was about to enter the city, he met Jiang Yutong on the way.

"Sister Yutong, run away quickly. My mother said that there is nothing that Mr. Zhao cannot get if he wants it."

Jiang Yutong was very grateful to Goudan and his mother, but running away was out of the question. "Thank you, Goudan, for tipping me off. You let me know the news in advance so I could be prepared. Don't worry, I know what's going on. You and your mother should just pretend you don't know about this. Go back quickly and don't let the Zhao family find out."

After saying that, Jiang Yutong instructed Dongmei, "See if there is any food in the car and load it up for Goudan."

Dongmei quickly took some cakes and snacks from the food box, "Goudan, take these and put them away. Don't let anyone find them."

Goudan wanted to refuse, but Jiang Yutong said, "They are just some snacks. Just accept them without worry. Otherwise, how can I accept your kindness if you take such a big risk to tip me off?"

Goudan finally accepted them. These snacks looked delicious. He had only seen them occasionally at the Zhao family. "Sister Yutong, be careful. I'm going back first."

Jiang Yutong felt relieved after watching Goudan enter the path.

Dongmei was anxious. "Miss, this Zhao family is really lawless. What should we do? How about we report it to the police?"

Reporting the matter to the authorities is indeed a good idea, but if the Zhao family says that they had privately agreed on this kind of marriage with Jiang Yutong, the authorities can do nothing about it. Besides, this is certainly not the first time the Zhao family has done this. Haven't other people reported the matter to the authorities? Of course they have, but it was useless.

Jiang Yutong soothed him, "Don't worry, let's go to the farm first."
