Old Madam Jiang feigned anger and said angrily, "Your second uncle has agreed. Does your daughter want you to be the disgusting villain and not agree?"

Jiang Fugui lowered his head and smiled, "Granddaughter, I dare not, I dare not!"

"You're such a little naughty monkey!" Old Lady Jiang waved at Jiang Fugui, signaling her to get in the carriage. "What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and get in the carriage. Let's go back. Next time you leave the house, remember to tell me in advance. Don't make trouble!"

"Yes, my granddaughter knows she was wrong and won't dare to do it again next time."

Jiang Fugui admitted his mistake quickly, bowed slightly to Old Lady Jiang, and then got into the carriage with the help of Shantu.

There were two carriages in total. Jiang Fugui and Old Lady Jiang rode in one, and the second family rode in the other. It was no different from when they came to the manor to look for someone. The only change was that there was one more Jiang Zihai when they went back.

The carriage slowly moved on the way back to the Jiang Mansion, with Old Lady Jiang's carriage in front and the second wife's carriage behind.

Old Lady Jiang didn't know the cause and effect of everything that happened tonight, but she could probably think of some superficial ideas. However, she still needed someone to help her piece together the whole story.

And Jiang Fugui is exactly the person she needs.

Old Madam Jiang looked at Jiang Fugui several times, intentionally or unintentionally, and each time she stared at her for a long time.

No matter how dumb Jiang Fugui was, she could sense that something was amiss. She coughed lightly and said, "Grandma, is there anything you want to ask your granddaughter?"

"Well, what happened tonight? Tell me about it. My son is alone now, so just be casual."

When Old Lady Jiang said to speak more casually, she meant that Jiang Fugui should not be restrained in his speech, as it would make him feel uncomfortable.

"Grandma, which part of the story do you want to know?"

Old Lady Jiang heard the ambiguity in Jiang Fugui's words and was surprised for a moment. She blinked as she looked at her: "What do you mean? According to you, there is more than one thing going on here?"

Jiang Fugui nodded solemnly. When he spoke again, he linked together the events that had occurred before and after, telling Old Lady Jiang, "To be honest, Grandmother, I was indeed secretly looking for Madam Cheng Lin. I don't know how Jiang Luoyu found out about this. She took the initiative to mention that Madam Cheng Lin wanted to see me, so we arranged to meet tonight. However, after actually meeting her, I discovered that Madam Cheng Lin was a fake."

"Humph, there's no way it's true!"

Old Lady Jiang said this with disdain, obviously she knew more detailed inside information.

Jiang Fugui followed up the conversation and asked Old Lady Jiang, "Then where is the real Madam Cheng Lin?"

"Just finish what you're saying and don't get sidetracked."

You see, the older you get, the spicier you are, and you can’t fool them easily!

Jiang Fugui curled his lips and continued, "After I found out it was fake, I guessed I had fallen into someone's trap, so I suggested leaving. On the way back, Jiang Luoyu suddenly said she had a stomachache and needed to go get some relief, then she ran off. I felt suspicious, so Shantu and I followed her. We found that Jiang Luoyu had met with Nanny Sun from my aunt's courtyard and was talking about something. Unfortunately, Shantu and I were too far away to hear clearly. After they finished talking, they went their separate ways, and we waited for a while before heading back. We weren't familiar with the village, so we got lost after walking for a while. After that, then... then..."

Old Lady Jiang was listening to a storyteller, but she stopped when she was enjoying it. Was this little girl trying to keep her in a suspense?
