Chapter 191 Separation of Flesh and Blood
To avoid worrying her parents, Jiang Yuyue omitted the details of the massacre of everyone in the Jiang family mansion, only mentioning that it was burned down by arson.
Whenever Mr. Jiang thought of this, he felt extremely sad. Even though the Jiang family was very wealthy, money didn't come easily. The Jiang residence was an asset he had worked hard to build, but now it had been reduced to ashes. It was truly a pity.
"Moon, do you know something?"
Madam Jiang hurriedly added, "You arranged for us all to be settled in the capital beforehand. Did you know about this disaster all along? Your father and I are extremely worried. If you know the inside story, please tell us quickly so that our family can work together to find a solution!"
Jiang Huanxi was also unable to suppress his doubts. In fact, he had wanted to ask for a long time, but his sister did not want to talk about it, and he was unwilling to press her for an answer.
When her family members pressed her for details, Jiang Yuyue hesitated for a moment before finally giving a rough explanation.
"Although I don't have conclusive evidence yet, it's highly likely that this was all done by Prince Ning, Song Yunming."
"Prince Ning!?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang's father was shocked. "Why would Prince Ning suddenly turn against our family? Our Jiang family is just doing some business in Jinling City. When did we offend Prince Ning? How could he hold a grudge against us?"
Hearing this, Jiang Yuyue sighed, and then explained in detail.
"Father, do you remember what I asked you last year?"
Jiang Yuyue began, "I'm asking if any of your many collections include a locked wooden box."
Mr. Jiang still remembered this, and nodded repeatedly, "Of course I remember."
At this point, Father Jiang hurriedly asked, "What? Is there something strange about this thing?"
"Our family suffered a terrible misfortune because of this thing."
Jiang Yuyue's expression was solemn as she continued, "Although I don't know what's inside this wooden box, it seems to contain an extraordinary treasure. Prince Ning somehow learned that this item was in our Jiang family and wanted to seize it, which led to this disaster."
The three members of the Jiang family gasped upon hearing this, truly never expecting that the origin of everything was a wooden box!
"This Prince Ning is so ruthless!"
Jiang Huanxi's face was gloomy. "He dared to kill innocent people indiscriminately just to seize that damned treasure! If someone like him were to ascend the throne one day, wouldn't all the people of the world be at his mercy!"
Ah Xi's words also expressed Jiang Yuyue's worries. She didn't know who had taken the throne in her previous life. If Song Yunming were to ascend the throne, even if she used all her resources, the Jiang family would probably have no way out.
"father."
Jiang Yuyue turned her gaze to her father and said seriously, "Since you have collected this item, do you perhaps know what treasure is inside?"
"I really don't know that."
Father Jiang shook his head and sighed, "That wooden box is strange. I obtained it by chance and tried every method to open it, but I couldn't. However, seeing how tough the box was, I kept it as my collection. I never expected that this thing would bring someone to their death!"
Then, Father Jiang asked anxiously, "Where is this treasure now? Our family is guilty of possessing such a treasure. If the Prince of Ning finds out where we live, won't he target us again?"
"We don't need to worry about these parents for now."
Jiang Yuyue comforted her, "That treasure is no longer in my hands. I have already handed it over to... a reliable person. Originally, this treasure was of no use to our Jiang family. If Prince Ning had asked us kindly, we might have handed it over. But now that he has acted like this, even if the treasure is destroyed, I will never hand it over to him!"
Jiang Yuyue's arrogance was naturally inherited from her family. Although her parents were still shaken by the near-extermination of their family, they were not people who would give in, and they all agreed with Jiang Yuyue's words.
"That's natural!"
Jiang Huanxi immediately echoed, "We would never stoop to such servile behavior! Since Prince Ning has taken the first unjust act, we will not back down easily!"
Seeing that her decision had the support of her family, Jiang Yuyue breathed a sigh of relief. After the heavy topic was left aside, Madam Jiang suddenly remembered her grandson.
"By the way, where's Mo'er?"
Madam Jiang hurriedly said with concern, "When you sent a letter saying that you had given us a grandson, I wanted to go back to Jinling to take care of you, but your brother wouldn't let me. Now that our family is reunited, shouldn't I be able to see Mo'er? Your father and I have been waiting for this day to enjoy the company of our grandson!"
Hearing this, Jiang Yuyue smiled helplessly, "Mother, I did not bring Mo'er with me this time when I went to the capital."
"what?"
Madam Jiang's eyes were filled with deep worry. "Then where did you take Mo'er? The child is still so young. It's not good if he doesn't have someone to take good care of him!"
"Mom, don't worry."
Jiang Yuyue immediately comforted him, "With Steward Xiang and Jasmine looking after the child, you can rest assured. Jinling is far from the capital, and the child is still young and probably can't handle the bumpy ride, so I didn't bring him along. When he's older, I will definitely bring Mo'er to his parents in person to see him."
Although they were somewhat disappointed not to see their grandson, Jiang Yuyue's words made sense, so Jiang's parents could only suppress their desire to see their grandson for the time being.
"If that's the case, then let's just forget about it for now."
Father Jiang sighed helplessly, "I never imagined that my Jiang family would suffer such a calamity one day, ending up with family members separated from each other!"
"Alright, alright, what do you mean by separation of flesh and blood? It's only temporary."
Seeing that they were about to bring up sad things again, Jiang Yuyue quickly stepped forward and took her parents' hands. "Your daughter has been traveling all this way and hasn't even had a hot meal yet. Can you bear to watch your daughter go hungry?"
Hearing this, Madam Jiang wiped away her tears and turned to look at Jiang Huanxi beside her, "Huanxi, quickly go and tell the kitchen to prepare food, don't let your sister go hungry!"
Jiang Huanxi immediately responded, "Okay!"
The family then happily headed to the dining room, but there was something untrue about what Jiang Yuyue had just said.
Mo'er wasn't taken on this trip. Although the long journey was one reason, the more important reason was that she didn't want Song Jinglan to know the child's whereabouts.
Jiang Yuyue had witnessed the prowess of Song Jinglan's men before. She had taken advantage of Song Jinglan's lack of vigilance to send the child away. Now, if the child were to reappear easily, it would be difficult for him to escape her control.
Jiang Yuyue would never allow her Mo'er to take such a risk.
