Bring your aunt to eat big meat, the scumbag father's family is furious

Wang Shu looked at Jiang Shulan with the air of a victor, his smugness impossible to suppress.

Then, leading the people, they entered the house and began assigning tasks.

"Search the living room, search the bedrooms, search the study."

He simply went to the study because he knew best where the things were, and he wanted to be the first to find them so that he could get the most credit.

Mr. Jiang did not remain silent; he instructed his men to follow the search party to prevent anyone from tampering with the equipment.

Seeing his daughter's yard searched like this, Mr. Jiang felt a surge of annoyance.

"Everything that has been messed up must be put back in its original place. What you went in like, you will come out like."

"Yes."

Wang Shu pretended to look around elsewhere before finally opening the drawer.

The drawer had barely been opened when his hand reached inside, as if trying to grab something.

But they came up empty-handed.

Wang Shu looked closely and saw that there were only two books in the drawer; the handkerchief he had put in was gone.

His eyes widened in disbelief as he looked at them again and again.

Thinking that he might have misremembered, he opened the drawer next to him, only to see a snake leap up and bite his wrist hard.

Wang Shu screamed and quickly took two steps back. He saw two deep teeth marks on his hand, from which blood seeped out, and a swollen and numb sensation spread rapidly.

The snake that bit him climbed up the desk to the windowsill and quickly disappeared.

Wang Shu was terrified, a sense of fear rising within him.

He couldn't find the towel he put in, and instead got bitten by a poisonous snake. Is this just a coincidence?

They searched the lobby and rooms thoroughly but found nothing belonging to a foreign man.

Wang Shu came out clutching his wrist, his face slightly pale, and his steps were a little unsteady.

"What happened to your hand?" Mr. Jiang asked.

"A snake suddenly jumped out of the young lady's study drawer. How could the young lady keep a snake in her study?" Wang Shu was both furious and scared, and his questioning voice trembled.

He won't get those valuables, and it's uncertain whether he can even save his life.

Jiang Shulan was baffled: "What snake? I don't keep any snakes."

"Young Miss, stop making excuses. I saw with my own eyes that I went into your study and came out with my hands in this state. Could it be that you were dissatisfied with the search, so you had someone put a snake in the drawer to seek revenge?"

Jiang Shulan snorted: "Don't try to pin something on me that I didn't do. You're just a servant. From the beginning, you were aggressive when you brought people to my courtyard gate saying you wanted to search. Now you're trying to smear me. Who gave you the guts?"

"Perhaps Heaven disapproves of your actions and sees that you harbor selfish motives, so it punishes you. You should reflect on your words and deeds."

Mr. Jiang also felt that this matter was a bit strange, but the surrounding area was full of gardens, planted with grass and trees, so it was not impossible for a snake to appear in the house.

He ordered someone to take Wang Shu to receive treatment, saying, "Since a snake has appeared, it means the search was inappropriate, so there's no need to continue searching."

Upon hearing this, Da Meng was the first to disagree: "Master Jiang, we've already searched the young lady's courtyard. If we stop here, it's as if we're telling people that this search is targeting the young lady and that something is wrong with her. Either don't search in the first place, or if you're going to search, check all the women's courtyards."

"This—" Mr. Jiang thought it made sense, but when he thought of the biting snake, he couldn't make a decision for the time being.

I'm afraid that if I continue searching, other unusual situations will arise. And with the wedding just around the corner, it's precisely at times like these that we can't afford any mishaps.

“Father, I think General Qiao is right. Everything should be done properly from beginning to end. Even if it’s just going through the motions, we should go through all the steps. That’s the only way to be fair. I’m going to marry into the Qiao family, so I can’t bear any gossip.”

Mr. Jiang pondered that Jiang Shulan had tried to persuade him earlier, but he still decided to continue the investigation. Now that he had investigated Jiang Shulan's case, it would be inappropriate to stop there.

Besides Jiang Shulan and Jiang Shuxue, he also had two daughters born to his concubines, who lived with their mother in a secluded courtyard. One was ten years old and the other was seven, and they knew nothing.

"Then let's check the rest of the courtyards."

Mr. Jiang's face was gloomy. He took a deep breath. He felt unlucky to have made such a mess of things. If it was proven that there was no problem, he would see who had spread the rumors and would not let them off easily.

The sound of many footsteps could be heard outside. Jiang Shuxue giggled and ran out.

It's here, this time it's for real, right?

Having found the keepsake from the other man, of course we had to show it to Master Jiang. Perhaps Jiang Shulan was also there, and was trying his best to beg for mercy and stop us.

There were guards at the entrance to the courtyard. Jiang Shuxue was stopped, but when she looked outside, she saw a group of people.

Jiang Shulan was also in the crowd, but she seemed completely unharmed, neither panicking nor crying. Jiang Shuxue was taken aback.

This shouldn't be the case.

Moreover, both Master Jiang and Qiao Dameng were present, and everything seemed normal for them. However, Master Jiang's expression was not good, but it did not seem to be because of Jiang Shulan.

Jiang Shuxue looked at the servants' hands again, but there was nothing there. Where was the token that Wang Shu had prepared?

Things didn't go as she expected at all. Wang Shu was nowhere to be seen, and Jiang Shuxue had a bad feeling.

A group of people stopped at the gate of her courtyard.

When Mr. Jiang saw that Jiang Shuxue was disheveled and didn't care about her appearance at all, he couldn't bear to look at her.

This doesn't resemble Miss Jiang at all.

Thinking about what Jiang Shuxue had done before, his face darkened, and he didn't bother to say another word to her.

"Go in and search."

"Father, what's going on? Why are you searching the yard?" Jiang Shuxue asked, puzzled.

Logically, the search should have ended once they found something in Jiang Shulan's courtyard.

Why do we still need to search here?

Moreover, Jiang Shulan was completely unharmed.

A series of inexplicable events, without any explanation, made Jiang Shuxue feel a growing sense of unease.

"Second Miss, it's rumored that someone in the Jiang family is having an affair, so Master has ordered us to thoroughly investigate each courtyard," a servant replied.

Jiang Shuxue stared at Jiang Shulan: "What about her courtyard? Has it been checked? They're coming to check mine."

She always trusted Wang Shu's abilities; as long as he left something in Jiang Shulan's room, there was no way he wouldn't be able to find it.

It must have been Jiang Shulan who begged and pleaded, refusing to let anyone investigate, and because she was favored by her father, they investigated her first.

"Nonsense, I just checked, there's nothing wrong with the young lady's courtyard." Master Jiang said impatiently, wanting only to search quickly and leave.

He felt ashamed to have a daughter like that.

Jiang Shuxue couldn't believe her ears.

"What do you mean by 'no problems at all'? It means the investigation wasn't thorough enough."

“Father, you can’t be lenient with her just because you’re biased towards Jiang Shulan.”
