Chapter 677 Things are not that simple
Here, Zhang Yumo didn't know how to explain to Jiang Jinyan, so she said, "I'll go back first."
Jiang Jinyan held her back and slowed down his voice: "Can you tell me what happened? Or if I did something wrong, you can tell me directly. We are husband and wife, Xiaochu's closest people, and I am your closest person. I know that the Fourth Princess is your cousin, and you may be unhappy so you go to her to confide in her."
Zhang Yumo was also restraining herself. "I didn't go to her to confide in her. I didn't know that she encouraged Shu Xue to harm you. I'm sorry. I apologize to you on behalf of my cousin."
Jiang Jinyan felt extremely uncomfortable that she was so unfamiliar.
She added, "I know I am Xiaochu's mother, but I also hope you remember that you are Xiaochu's father."
Jiang Jinyan paused for a moment before he realized, "You are bothered by Bai Yuhan. You still misunderstood the relationship between me and her. We have nothing."
Zhang Yumo said directly: "Bai Yuhan likes you!"
Jiang Jinyan was stunned again and wanted to explain.
"I don't mind. Whether she likes you or not, or whether you like her or not, I really don't mind." Zhang Yumo said, "I'm going back first. Xiaochu has been taken away by the Queen. When you and mother come back, bring her back!"
After Zhang Yumo finished speaking, she left the palace without stopping. The Fourth Princess was using her to harm Jiang Jinyan, but Jiang Jinyan already knew it but didn't tell her. Madam Jiang was originally going to enter the palace with her, but she found an excuse to appear in front of everyone with Bai Yuhan.
This means that they have known for a long time that someone wants to use Bai Yuhan to deal with the Jiang family, and Jiang Jinyan was also on guard against her, so he didn't tell her!
Jiang Jinyan only now realized that Zhang Yumo was not losing her memory, but she had changed. She no longer liked him. She had said before that she would never change in her life, and even if he didn't like her, she would always like him.
Xiao Yu walked to Jiang Jinyan and asked, "What's wrong with my sister-in-law?"
Jiang Jinyan shook his head, "I don't know."
"Why are you still standing here like an idiot? Go and catch up." Xiao Yu said, "Lord Jiang is busy outside every day. You must have neglected my sister-in-law. And about Miss Bai, did you tell my sister-in-law in advance?"
"No." He chased after her but didn't know what to say, "You also know that Bai Yuhan's past identity was special. When we are not sure who is behind this, the fewer people who know, the better."
"When she saw me and Bai Yuhan together, she didn't choose to believe me the first time, but thought that I liked Bai Yuhan." Jiang Jinyan was even a little disappointed that she didn't trust him.
Xiao Yu said in a deep voice: "Miss Bai may have other feelings for you. My sister-in-law feels it, so she doesn't believe it. There is a misunderstanding between you two. You should explain it carefully!"
"You don't understand. No matter what Bai Yuhan, or anyone else, thinks of me, I don't have such thoughts. Why did she become like this?" Jiang Jinyan couldn't understand why she wanted to break up.
"Maybe she feels insecure. Think about it, with your current status and position, how many women are scrambling to get into the Jiang family? The matchmakers in Shengjing City have broken down the gate of your Jiang family in order to find a concubine for you. But what about your sister-in-law? She has no parents, and she can't even get along with the people from the Zhang family. When she sees you and Miss Bai together, it's normal for her to have some thoughts. I guess your sister-in-law is jealous." Xiao Yu analyzed according to common sense.
Jiang Jinyan frowned and shook his head, "I don't think this is the reason." Zhang Yumo wanted to sleep in a separate room from him and even leave the Jiang family. She thought they should not get married and that something must have happened to her.
Jiang Jinyan finally reacted, "Go tell the queen, I'm going back first."
Without waiting for Xiao Yu to say anything more, Jiang Jinyan left the palace directly.
At this time, Xiao Yu also fell into deep thought. The people who helped the Su family wanted to deal with the Jiang family. In fact, they wanted to defeat the Queen! He firmly believed that the people behind them must want to seek greater benefits, not just to make the Jiang family's reputation fall.
He had a hunch that things weren't that simple.
Xiao Yu entered the palace and met Jiang Fenghua and told her about Jiang Jinyan and Zhang Yumo leaving the palace.
Jiang Fenghua had forgotten about Xiao Yu. She said politely, "Thank you, Sir Xiao."
Xiao Yu was stunned and said quickly: "I didn't do anything."
"It was Jiang Jinyan who asked Xiao Yu to go to Jiangzhou to find the Bai family!" Jiang Fenghua said in a deep voice.
"Yes, Lord Jiang thought that since the matter started from the Bai family, he asked me to explain it clearly. Miss Bai's troubles have been resolved. Now Miss Bai is free and her life has returned to normal. Your Majesty does not need to worry."
Jiang Fenghua smiled and said, "In fact, Bai Yuhan could have returned directly to Jiangzhou, but in the end she followed us back to Shengjing, and said she came to Shengjing to visit her family. I should have thought that she was actually thinking about Jiang Jinyan."
Xiao Yu paused, "Your Majesty, have you also noticed that Miss Bai likes Brother Jinyan?"
"Even Zhang Yumo saw it, how could I not see it?" Jiang Fenghua also fell into deep thought, "I have something I want to consult Master Xiao about."
"Your Majesty, please speak."
Jiang Fenghua's eyes flashed with doubt, "You have also been to Jiangzhou, and you have met the Bai family. According to your intuition, the Bai family is just a merchant family. The Bai family knew that their daughter entered the palace to become a concubine, and they built a temple for their daughter because they were happy. Is this strange?"
Xiao Yu said: "It's not strange, but it is strange, building temples is more common after death.
Merchants did not have a high status, and it was not uncommon for a temple to be built for worship when a concubine appeared in their family. However, not everyone could build a temple if they wanted to. If the concubine had done something great and the emperor ordered it to be built, it would be more convincing. If the emperor ordered it to be built, then there was nothing to say.
I also asked the Bai family, they just said that it was modeled after historical celebrities and there was a precedent of concubines erecting monuments and building temples. They didn't think too much about it and thought it could be built as long as they paid the money.
This time, the Bai family made a big fuss in Jiangzhou. I went to see the governor of Jiangzhou and explained the situation. The governor of Jiangzhou then came out to refute the rumor and said that the Bai family did not have a daughter who entered the palace as a concubine. The Bai family built the temple to attract people to buy their things, just to do business. This is how the matter was resolved."
"If the Bai family really has a daughter who entered the palace to become an empress, they would not be afraid of implicating their daughter if they dared to build a temple privately. Even if the Bai family likes to curry favor with the powerful, the Bai family can do such a big business in Jiangzhou. I think the Bai family is not an ordinary family!" Jiang Fenghua always felt that the Bai family was too high-profile.
Xiao Yu actually thought that the Bai family might be held accountable for this action. "This time, the emperor wanted to make a big deal out of a small matter, so he just demolished the temple, and the matter would be resolved. And only the prefect of Jiangzhou could handle this matter, so the prefect of Jiangzhou privately did a favor for the Bai family.
I didn’t dare reveal my identity when I arrived in Jiangzhou. The Bai family is considered wealthy in Jiangzhou. At most, I was laughed at by my peers, but nothing else was affected.”
After listening to his explanation, Jiang Fenghua said, "Maybe I am overthinking it. Bai Yuhan was brought into the palace by the Queen Mother. I can't find any flaws in the Bai family."
