After leaving Jiang Dechang's place, Jiang Nian did not return to his own yard, but went to see Old Lady Jiang.

Since Jiang Dechang is unwilling to say, then go ask Jiang Dechang's biological mother.

Old Mrs. Jiang has always been arrogant. Even though her son doesn't hold any official position, she still looks down on others.

Before Jiang Dechang passed the imperial examination, he had already had dealings with the Lin family. At that time, Old Mrs. Jiang would sometimes come to visit her son, and she was so happy to meet Mrs. Lin.

At that time, Mrs. Lin was praised to the skies, but Jiang Dechang had just become a Jinshi, and the Lin family promised him a marriage. After the marriage, Mrs. Jiang's attitude changed.

Lin had never felt this before. Even when they entered the Buddhist temple, Old Lady Jiang comforted her a lot, and her words were so sincere and heartfelt.

At that time, Lin was deeply moved. It was all for the sake of her family and her own children. She did not feel wronged, so when her family ignored her later, she was understanding.

In fact, this old lady is even more treacherous than her own son.

When I entered Shou'an Hall, it was quiet inside.

When the people outside saw Jiang Nian come in, they quickly saluted if they understood Jiang Nian's intention.

Jiang Nian waved his hand and asked, "How is the old lady?"

"My dear, the old lady hasn't left the house these past few days. Only Madam Zhang is serving her in the house. Whenever the servants get close to her, she gets angry, and we dare not go in."

Jiang Nian hummed: "You have worked hard, go find the Second Madam and Concubine Liu and change places to serve."

Hearing this, they were all delighted, but they didn't dare to show it too obviously. They just bowed and left the courtyard.

Jiang Nian pushed the door open and walked in. Mother Zhang hurriedly bowed to Jiang Nian in a panic.

Old Mrs. Jiang no longer had the resentment she had the last time she came, and she was very calm today.

"How's Grandma doing lately?"

Old Mrs. Jiang snorted coldly: "Still alive."

Jiang Nian didn't care about her tone and ordered, "Mother Zhang, please go out first. I have something to say to my grandmother."

Mother Zhang looked at Old Madam Jiang worriedly and finally retreated.

After closing the door, Jiang Nian said, "I just went to see father. He is still as healthy as before. Grandma can rest assured now."

Old Mrs. Jiang said in a bad tone: "Jiang Nian, you are also a member of the Jiang family. You will not have a good ending in the future! Good and evil will be rewarded in the end, just wait and see!"

"In that case, grandma should just save her energy. If good deeds were rewarded and evil deeds were punished, my mother wouldn't have suffered so much."

"I came here today just to tell grandma a piece of news: Jiang Nian ran away."

Old Madam Jiang was too lazy to pretend in front of Jiang Nian and laughed out loud: "Great! Sister Nian is still capable. You vicious woman, wait for Sister Nian to think of a way, and you will definitely die a miserable death!"

Jiang Nian sneered, "She's been away for a while now, but she never thought about coming back. She's found someone to back her up, and is living a good life out there. She doesn't even care about Feng, so why would she care about Grandmother?"

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Jiang's expression really changed.

The Crown Princess must have sent people to investigate. If they find that it is true, the Jian family will not give up.

It's different when you have a backer. Although you can't resist the prince who has the emperor's support, it's more than enough for you to put on airs in front of Xiao Yinnan, who hasn't yet acknowledged his ancestral roots.

Xiao Yinnan is not the kind of person who would give up his rights for one person. When the time comes, under the pressure of the Jian family, he will have to send the person away.

What worries Jiang Nian is whether Jiang Nian knows about Jiang Dechang.

If he knew, he would definitely tell others about this matter in order to seek Xiao Yinnan's protection. When Xiao Yinnan was added to the mix, Jiang Nian got a headache just thinking about it.

Unless Jiang Nian is of great use to Xiao Yinnan, Xiao Yinnan will not help her take her family out.

If Jiang Nian also knew about this, it meant that Jiang Dechang told Jiang Nian about it, and Jiang Nian went to find Xiao Yinnan with a clear goal. It seemed that the thing was useful to Xiao Yinnan.

Since the girl named Xiao Cui is a spy, it is not difficult to secretly pass the message to Jiang Dechang and Jiang Nian.

It is not impossible that the two of them knew Xiao Yinnan's current status.

"Grandma, my father has something in his hand. I'm a man of my words. If you can find that thing, I'll release both you and my father. How do you think?"

Old Mrs. Jiang naturally didn't believe it. If there really was such a thing, she would definitely keep it to save her life. How could she hand it over so easily?

As soon as Mrs. Jiang's eyes rolled, Jiang Nian knew what she was thinking.

Feng Shi was indeed taught by Old Madam Jiang. Even in this respect, the two of them were exactly the same.

"Grandma, my patience is limited."

Jiang Nian had a sullen face, and his eyes didn't look like those of a little girl who knew nothing at all. Old Madam Jiang was obviously stunned for a moment.

She still remembers the day when Jiang Nian returned to the Jiang family and came to pay his respects to her. He looked so reserved, and was completely different from the Jiang Nian of today.

"My father has something very important, but he hid it. Has grandma seen it?"

Old Mrs. Jiang was stunned for a moment, and her first reaction was that it was impossible.

She knew her son, what was there that she didn't know?

Her son has always been of the same mind as her.

Jiang Nian did not ignore the surprise in Old Mrs. Jiang's eyes, and he understood what was going on.

It seems that Jiang Dechang even hid the truth from Old Lady Jiang.

However, it is not ruled out that this old hag is pretending.

"Grandmother didn't know? Father told this secret to my sister and asked her to go out and find someone to rescue him, but she never came back. Now, I'm afraid she has forgotten about you. But this secret has been leaked out again. Now, people with ulterior motives have infiltrated the mansion. Can you guess what they are doing here?"

Old Mrs. Jiang was not that stupid. She immediately realized that many people wanted what her son had.

What could they possibly be doing here at this time? It would be easier to believe that they were coming to kill them than to rescue them from the house.

After a moment of panic, Old Mrs. Jiang immediately calmed down. It was impossible. She knew her son, so how could he get into trouble with these people?

impossible!

"You're talking nonsense! I know who your father is. Don't try to bluff me!"

"Given your current situation, why should I scare you? Grandma, you should be thankful that you are still somewhat useful. Otherwise, you would never leave this courtyard in your lifetime."

Looking at Mrs. Jiang's reaction, he couldn't ask anything else, and instantly lost the desire to ask.

Forget it, let’s think of another way.

Seeing someone about to leave, Old Lady Jiang quickly stopped them and said, "Wait, didn't you say you were going to let us out?"

"You didn't hear anything that satisfied me, and you still want to go out? Are you dreaming?"

Old Mrs. Jiang was so angry that she almost fainted.

Jiang Nian originally thought that he had to pry the truth out of Xiao Cui's mouth, but two days later, Aunt Liu hurried over and Xiao Cui was dead.
