Yan Liu returned to the study, dug out the previous information and read it carefully for a while.
Jiang Changqiu's reaction was wrong!
She deliberately provoked him, but his reaction was too bland.
So bland that he was almost certain that he would not fall into that situation.
The old lady of Weiyuan Houfu was Jiang Changqiu's grandmother. She was injured in her early years, and she didn't have a daughter until middle age, who was Yan Liu's mother.
Several of Yan Liu's uncles were born as concubines.
Among the older generation in the capital, Mrs. Weiyuanhou's favoritism has never been a secret. Juniors like Jiang Changqiu have never received a good look from her.
She could treat Wei Yuan Hou and others as nothing, but out of filial piety, Wei Yuan Hou and others must be respectful and polite to her.
Not to mention that the old lady of Weiyuanhou is not an ordinary old woman.
At that time, Marquis Weiyuan was only a scion of a fourth-grade military general on the border. He achieved countless military exploits over the years, and finally received this hereditary and irreplaceable title.
The old woman of Weiyuanhou and the old Weiyuanhou have been stationed at the border for decades. They are ruthless characters who can kill people in person.
Not to mention, under her management, the Liu family has jumped from a wealthy family in the border town to the official family it is today. Countless children have joined the border army. The family has produced officials of the third grade and countless fourth and fifth grades.
Yan Liu's surname is not Liu, and she has never even been to the Liu family's ancestral land.
But her name is on the Liu family's family tree.
But the Liu family recognized that she would take over the Liu family's power.
All this is because of Mrs. Weiyuan Hou, who single-handedly supported the Liu family and still controls the Liu family.
From this we can see the methods of the old woman in Weiyuanhou.
This was Yan Liu's confidence to kill someone with a stick on the first day he came to the house.
If my grandmother knew that Jiang Changqiu was dissatisfied with the marriage, she would definitely not let him go.
Yan Liu sat on a chair, holding a pen and sketching out the current situation in the capital. So, what was Jiang Changqiu's confidence for doing this?
Could it be that...grandma's health is not good?
Grandma has always been in good health, but when she suddenly heard the news of my death... it is common for an elderly person's body to collapse suddenly after a serious illness.
No, it won't happen. Grandma can still leave for the north, to the border, and her health shouldn't be too bad.
Traveling these days can be really tiring.
But my grandmother decided not to come back when she went north.
In this case, to whom will the power that grandma has managed her whole life be given to?
Weiyuan Houfu? No, it won't be them.
But there is a high possibility that Weiyuan Hou will begin to take over the secret power of the Jiang family.
So was it really an accident that he fell into the water?
but……
My surname is Yan, and I am engaged to Jiang Changqiu.
Not surprisingly, the biological father of my heir must be Jiang Changqiu.
Today's Weiyuan Hou can surpass all his brothers to inherit the title because of his grandmother's support.
Over the years, the relationship between the two parties has not been bad, and is even closer than a normal uncle-nephew relationship.
There is no need for them to do such risky things...
But the reactions of Madam Weiyuan Hou and Jiang Sang were wrong!
***
Tianxiang Tower.
Yan Liu said: "You are about to finish your scientific examination, but you still have time to attend the banquet?"
Xiao Jingwei mocked: "Before, you said you would hold a banquet at Tianxiang Tower to thank me, which shows that some people's promises are not counted.
I came to the banquet today uninvited, and I hope the host here won’t kick me out. "
Yan Liu waved his hand and said: "I originally planned to wait for you to have a private banquet after your imperial examination, so as not to delay your study.
I sent you a letter to explain this. Mr. Xiao is not old yet, so why is his memory bad? "
"I'm afraid that you are immersed in the gentle land and have forgotten your old friends."
Yan Liu paused and said, "What's going on? He and I are not married yet."
Xiao Jing couldn't bear it anymore. Yan Liu never looked for him again after entering Beijing. He was clearly avoiding him deliberately.
Thinking about it again, Yan Liu did not live in Yan Mansion in the capital, but lived in Weiyuan Hou Mansion, facing that boy Jiang Changqiu day and night, but the bastard still had some color, maybe they had reached the point where they could talk to each other.
Xiao Jingdao: "Jiang Changqiu is dishonest. He has been to a brothel before."
Is he speaking ill of others?
He was worried that the boy had deceived Yan Liu!
Yan Liu said: "I know. That's because his friend's birthday was celebrated, and a few people reserved a courtyard there to celebrate. Besides, he didn't touch anyone else at the party, nor did he stay there for the night.
Moreover, I had been confirmed dead at that time, and he was not bound by the marriage contract. "
Xiao Jing said unwillingly: "If he really touched someone, would you know? Even if he never touched anyone outside, what about in the house?
Madam Weiyuanhou had already left for the north years ago! There is no one in the government to control him!
It’s not like you don’t know how much money a noble boy like him who doesn’t hold a title can have in private. "
Yan Liu was irritated, she didn't want to see Xiao Jing at all now.
After Cui Meier revealed her thoughts that night, she belatedly realized that she somewhat liked Xiao Jing, but this shouldn't exist!
Only now did she realize that it was probably because she had never had a sense of crisis. Even though they were separated for a long time, the exchange of letters between them never stopped.
Yan Liu said impatiently: "So what does this have to do with you? Even if he has ten or twenty wives, it has nothing to do with you! This is my private matter!!"
Xiao Jing didn't expect that she would say this, and there was anger in her tone: "It has nothing to do with me? What about you?
Do you want to distance yourself from me just because of this person?
So is it his request not to reply to my letters to you these days?
Are you going to delay business because of him? "
Yan Liu said: "Some things are not worth wasting your or my time. They can be left to the people below to handle."
Xiao Jing laughed angrily and said: "It's not worth wasting time.
I am meeting the emperor for the first time. Can I share my guess about the emperor’s thoughts with others?
Are my speculations about the positions of Beijing and Chinese officials also something that I want to hand over to the people below? "
Yan Liu turned his head and looked away from him, saying: "Don't show this to me in the future, we will also encounter times when our positions are inconsistent in the future.
And it’s not safe to put this kind of thing on paper. "
Xiao Jing stood up suddenly, losing his usual grace. Yan Liu could stir up all his emotions with just one or two words.
He couldn't get a reply from Yan Liu for several days, and he couldn't sleep all night, with complicated thoughts.
When I entered the door, I was greeted by Jiang Changqiu as a master, and I was already angry.
Yan Liu's attitude made him clearly realize that he might really lose Yan Liu, and he would no longer be as close to her as before.
He never thought that the two of them would be estranged one day, just because of Jiang Changqiu's stuff?
He approached Yan Liu and said, "Is it because I like you? That's why you want to alienate me?"
"Um."
After hearing this, Xiao Jing gradually calmed down and asked, "So it's not because of Jiang Changqiu, right? Isn't it because I said something bad about him that you are angry?"
Yan Liu lowered his eyes and pondered for a long time.
If he admitted that it was because of Jiang Changqiu, wouldn't Xiao Jing stop liking him because of his pride?
Because she found...it was so difficult not to like Xiao Jing.
Perhaps...only a long time can make her see him as a simple ally again.
Because he couldn't get an answer for a long time, Xiao Jing lost the certainty when he opened his mouth and said cautiously: "Liu Liu, please, look at me and say okay?"
He knew that he was very good-looking. Would Liu Liu not be biased towards Jiang Changqiu when he looked at him?
Xiao Jing's cheek muscles tensed and he waited with bated breath for Yan Liu's answer.
