"Fuxiao, did I ever tell you that you don't need to report the Jiang family's affairs to me anymore?" Chu Jinghong said in a light tone, without even glancing at the wedding invitation.

The Xie family and the Jiang family had already torn their faces apart a long time ago and had clearly severed ties. Now that the Jiang family is marrying off their daughter, what does it have to do with the Xie family?

Fuxiao was slightly stunned, then lowered her head, "Yes, madam, I will remember this."

She turned around and was about to leave, but was stopped by Chu Jinghong, "Wait, let me see the wedding invitation."

Chu Jinghong took the wedding invitation and glanced at it casually. When she saw the bride's name, her eyes suddenly fixed.

"It's actually her?" Chu Jinghong muttered to himself, a complicated look flashing across his face.

"Jinghong, what's wrong?" Xie Guangting, who was standing by, heard Chu Jinghong mumbling to himself and looked up and asked.

Chu Jinghong handed the wedding invitation to Xie Guangting, "Look, the daughter that the Jiang family is going to marry is actually Jiang Shu."

Xie Guangting took the wedding invitation, glanced at it, and raised his eyebrows slightly, "Jiang Shu? I remember that this girl seemed to be the child of Jiang Buli and his concubine."

"Moreover," Chu Jinghong added, "she's marrying a well-known playboy in the imperial capital, the eldest son of the Ningguo Mansion's Mu family. That scoundrel already has a wife and is a womanizer. If Jiang Shu goes there, she's probably walking into a tiger's mouth."

Xie Guangting put down the wedding invitation, his expression somewhat complicated. "What's the Jiang family's intention? They know it's a pit of fire, but they're still pushing it in?"

Chu Jinghong sneered, "Jiang Buli is a man who only cares about his own interests. How could he care about his daughter's life or death? I'm afraid he's just attracted by the power of the Mu family and wants to use it to curry favor with them."

"But Jiang Buli sold his daughter for fame and fortune, which is so disgraceful. Why did he specially send a wedding invitation to our house?" Xie Guangting asked in confusion.

"Guangting, don't you remember? This girl has a close relationship with our Song'er. Last time something happened at Song'er's biological mother's grave, it was her mother who came to report it!"

"Yes, now that you mention it, Wei Yefu remembers that when the Jiang family was imprisoned, Song'er even went to ask Prince Jingyuan to protect the mother and daughter."

"The Jiang family has ulterior motives! Seeing that Fengwu Academy's admissions exam is approaching, they've pulled this trick to disrupt Song'er's mind and make her fail the exam!"

"Despicable!" Chu Jinghong slammed the table angrily, a cold look flashing in his eyes. "Why are you sending us wedding invitations out of the blue?"

Xie Guangting also frowned. "The Jiang family's move is indeed insidious. Song'er values ​​friendship and loyalty. If he knew what happened to Jiang Shu, he would probably be upset."

"No, we can't let the Jiang family's scheme succeed!"

Chu Jinghong stood up and paced back and forth in the room, thinking about countermeasures, "I have to find a way to let Song'er concentrate on preparing for the exam. I can't let her be affected by this incident."

Xie Guangting pondered for a moment, "I think it's not appropriate to hide this from Song'er."

"Song'er has a strong personality. If we take the initiative and hide it from her, she will be even more angry when she finds out later."

"Besides, with Song'er's intelligence, we won't be able to keep it a secret for long even if we want to."

"Master, Madam, someone from the Jiang family is coming!"

At this moment, the butler's announcement came from outside the door, interrupting the couple's conversation.

Chu Jinghong and Xie Guangting looked at each other, and both knew that the Jiang family's visit must be related to the wedding invitation.

"Please let them in." Xie Guangting ordered calmly.

After a while, the housekeeper led a woman who was dressed gorgeously but had a sad face into the hall. It was Jiang Shu's mother, Qiao Wanyu, the concubine of the Jiang family.

As soon as Liu entered the hall, she knelt on the ground, tears streaming down her face, "Thank you, my lord, thank you, my lady, I want to see Song'er!"

Chu Jinghong frowned slightly and gestured to Fuxiao beside him to help Liu up. "Aunt Qiao, what do you mean? Let's talk it over nicely."

"Can you please let me see Song'er?" Qiao Wanyu was helped up by Fuxiao, but she was still crying inconsolably, her hands tightly twisting the corners of her clothes, looking anxious and helpless.

"Madam Xie, I really have no other choice, so I shamelessly begged to come to the Xie Mansion."

"Jiang Shu...she's going to be married into the Mu family as a concubine. You two know what kind of person Prince Mu is. My heart aches like a knife!"

Chu Jinghong had a complicated expression when he heard this, but he didn't speak immediately.

Xie Guangting sighed softly, "Aunt Qiao, we are already aware of this matter, but this is the Jiang family's family affair after all, and it is not appropriate for our Xie family to interfere."

Upon hearing this, Qiao Wanyu's knees went weak and she was about to kneel down again, but Chu Jinghong quickly supported her.

"Thank you, sir. Song'er and Shu'er have a close relationship. If she were here as a sister, perhaps she could persuade Shu'er to be less stubborn. Perhaps she could find a glimmer of hope."

Qiao Wanyu's eyes were filled with tears as she continued to plead, "I know this is hard for Song'er, but I really have no other choice. Please, just let me see Song'er!"

Chu Jinghong looked at Qiao Wanyu's helpless appearance, and a ripple appeared in his heart.

Although she was dissatisfied with the Jiang family, she also knew that Qiao Wanyu was in a difficult situation in the Jiang family. Considering the relationship between Jiang Song and Jiang Shu, Chu Jinghong finally softened her heart.

"Fuxiao, go call the young lady over!"

Fuxiao responded and soon led Jiang Song into the hall.

When Jiang Song saw Qiao Wanyu, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. He quickly stepped forward and asked with concern, "Aunt Qiao, why are you here? Is there something wrong at home?"

When Qiao Wanyu saw Jiang Song, her tears couldn't stop flowing. She held Jiang Song's hand tightly, as if she had found a life-saving straw.

"Song'er, do you know that Shu'er...she is going to be married to Mu Yuntao as a concubine!"

Jiang Song was shocked when he heard this, and his face was full of disbelief.

Mu Yuntao's reproductive organs had been destroyed by her "Thunder Devouring", and he had become a disabled person. How could the Jiang family still marry Jiang Shu to him?

"Aunt Qiao, please tell me what's going on."

Qiao Wanyu burst into tears and recounted the whole story in a halting manner.

It turned out that the Mu family was crazy and wanted to take Jiang Shu as a concubine.

Seeing that there was profit to be made, Jiang Buli ignored Jiang Shu's objection and forced her to agree to the marriage.

Jiang Shu was unwilling but powerless to resist and could only shed tears in secret.

Qiao Wanyu felt sorry for her daughter but was helpless, so she had to ask Jiang Song for help, hoping that she could help Jiang Shu.

After hearing this, Jiang Song was furious. She clenched her fists tightly, her nails almost digging into her palms.

"Jiang Buli is such a beast, he's not even human! Shu'er is his daughter, how could he be so cruel!"

When she thought about it carefully, she felt that Jiang Jun must have been behind this!

Just imagine that the Mu family members all assumed that it was Jiang Jun who harmed Mu Yuntao, but Jiang Jun was able to get away with it safely. No one knows what tricks he used?

At the moment, Jiang Jun is shifting the blame onto Jiang Shu in order to divert attention and disgust the Xie family at the same time.

How did she convince Jiang Buli and the Mu family?

Jiang Song sneered in his heart, and a sharp light flashed in his eyes.
