Since Old Madame Xu and Dong Shu had already exchanged glances earlier, and had already discussed roughly what they would do after arriving at home today, Dong Shu couldn't help but take the initiative to 'remind' Old Madame Xu, ”Mother, there is something else we have come for today.”
The moment Dong Shu opened her mouth, the Old Madame Xu paused for a moment and then couldn't help but let out a sigh.
As for Jiang Han, he was also instantly enlightened by Dong Shu's words.
Thinking about the purpose of the arrival of the person from Xu Family, Jiang Han's weak heart became a bit harder to bear after hearing what the Old Madame Xu had just said.
He knew that if he really let go of Xu Yanzhu and let him leave the Jiang Family, it would be hard to say whether or not she would be able to obtain benefits from the Xu Family in the future.
Maybe Old Madame Xu had already guessed what Jiang Han was thinking, after Dong Shu reminded her, she looked at Jiang Han and spoke out: ”Jiang Han, I believe you understand why we have come to find you today.” While talking, Old Madame Xu kept on staring at Jiang Han, and after seeing him nod his head, she continued: ”I wonder, did you manage to get the identity of the man from Yanzhu?”
Jiang Han did not expect Old Madame Xu to ask him this. After being stunned for a moment, he asked Old Madame Xu probingly, ”Could it be that Grandmother does not know who this person is?”
”You don't know either?” Old Madame Xu looked at Jiang Han in shock, and when she saw the seriousness on Jiang Han's face, she couldn't help but let out a sigh, ”I've been thinking about it at home for an entire night, but I couldn't figure out who this person was.”
After saying this, the Old Madame Xu didn't even wait for Jiang Han to speak as she continued, ”Yanzhu was raised by me personally, I am very clear about her personality. Furthermore, ever since our Xu Family left the capital ten years ago, Yanzhu had always been staying at the Xiahe Village and had never gone out. I really don't understand how she could be willing to make such a sacrifice. ”
What Old Madame Xu said was the truth, and this was exactly what she didn't understand.
She couldn't figure out his identity, but she was enough to make her carefully bred, Xu Yanzhu, to let go of his identity and do such a thing.
One must know, if Jiang Han were to expose this matter without regard for Jiang Family, the reputation of all the unmarried and married women in her Xu Family would be affected.
This was the clan, Xu Yanzhu understood this very well.
Thinking about it, a name suddenly popped out from Old Madame Xu's heart, but very quickly, she rejected it.
If he was really still alive, as long as he showed his face, with His Majesty's guilt and power in Hu Family, he would definitely be made a great grandson.
But other than him, how would Yanzhu have the chance to meet another male?
Jiang Han had been paying attention to Old Madame Xu's expression the entire time. Seeing that her expression had changed so much, he could not help but ask after Old Madame Xu regained her senses, ”Grandmother, do you have a guess?”
Hearing Jiang Han's words, Old Madame Xu knew that he had been paying attention to her this whole time.
As a result, Old Madame Xu did not hide anything and told her what she had been thinking.
”Jiang Han, do you know about the matter between Yanzhu and the late Crown Prince's son?”
When Old Madame Xu opened her mouth, Jiang Han understood her meaning.
Xu Yanzhu had grown up together with the eldest son of the crown prince's family since childhood, and the two families had the intention of marrying each other. Therefore, before the incident with her Xu Family, Xu Yanzhu had been raised according to the requirements of the crown prince's first wife.
Although something happened to the crown prince's family, Xu Yanzhu followed her Xu Family and left the capital. Even after her aunt and the others returned back to the capital, she did not return.
A girl who had nearly married into the crown prince's family and had the possibility of becoming the next Crown Prince's consort, could she really casually take a fancy to another man?
Jiang Han felt that it was impossible.
Thinking to this, Jiang Han directly replied: ”I know a little.” After saying this, Jiang Han thought for a while, then continued: ”But that person has already been dead for many years, is his position in Yanzhu's heart that important?”
It was not that Jiang Han said something like that without knowing what was good for him, but he was truly suspicious.
After all, back then, even if Xu Yanzhu had a closer relationship with Ye Yan, the two of them were still young at the time.
After so many years had passed, and her Xu Family had been defeated because of the crown prince's family, did Xu Yanzhu really not hate the imperial family at all?
Jiang Han couldn't understand. He didn't think that after so many years, Ye Yan would still have such an important position in Xu Yanzhu's heart.
Old Madame Xu did understand why Jiang Han asked that. After all, she had considered this question before.
”Jiang Han, you may not know how important the word 'love' is in this child's heart. Back then, that person had given a debt of gratitude to Yanzhu, so naturally, Yanzhu would return it with sincerity. What's more, wasn't there a good point in saying it? People who are alive are never as important as people who are dead. ”
Once Old Madame Xu finished, Jiang Han sighed and closed her eyes.
He naturally understood that Xu Yanzhu valued love more than anything, if not she would not have been willing to marry him at that time.
One had to know that the status of the two wives he had married before was not as good as Xu Yanzhu's.
