Madame Jiang never thought that her mother-in-law would ask him about her He clan. As she was not on guard, she thought of something and her face immediately appeared.
When he sensed the gazes of his mother-in-law, sister-in-law, and sister-in-law and his eldest daughter on him in the hall, he naturally knew that he would not be able to hide it today.
She forcefully swallowed the saliva that was seeping out of her mouth due to her nervousness. Then, with a twinkle in her eyes, she asked, ”Mother, how did you remember to ask about this?” Madame Jiang didn't want to say it out loud, so she tried to think of a way to hide it from them.
Old Madame Xu had been the mother-in-law of the Madame Jiang for many years, and when she saw her reaction, she could immediately guess what she was thinking.
Not to mention Xu Nuanwen and Xu Yanzhu, one was her sister-in-law who hadn't liked her for many years, and the other was her daughter.
Among the few of them, most likely only Dong Shu did not understand the intentions of the Madame Jiang.
”Madame Jiang, don't think about hiding this from me. Since I know there's someone like the He family, even if you don't say anything today, I have a way to find out. Now I'm asking you, I just want to save some time. If you don't cooperate, then I'll just send someone to investigate. It's just that when I get some information and hear some bad news, it won't be something that I can control. ”
Old Madame Xu's words made her panic.
Madame Jiang also knew that what Old Madame Xu said was reasonable. This mother-in-law of hers had some connections, if she really sent someone to investigate, there would definitely be some information spread out.
Madame Jiang could not help but feel sad when she thought of how the secret that the Jiang Family had concealed for so many years was about to be exposed.
Seeing Madame Jiang reveal such an expression, Xu Nuanwen immediately shot him a look.
After receiving her daughter's gaze, Old Madame Xu looked at Madame Jiang and said: ”Madame Jiang, since you are unwilling to tell me, I might as well find someone else.”
When Old Madame Xu said this, she immediately shook her head in panic, ”No. Mother, I will speak, I will speak. ”
Madame Jiang was truly afraid. She had kept this matter a secret for twenty years because she thought that after her brother passed away, no one else would know.
”Back then, the He family did not marry far away into a foreign land. Instead, they were sent to a foreign land by my brother and secretly brought back to the Jiang Family.” After Madame Jiang said this, she thought for a moment before saying: ”Mother, why did you suddenly mention the He Clan today?”
”Of course it's because I once saw the He family in the Jiang Family.” While speaking, Old Madame Xu saw that Madame Jiang wasn't willing to speak, and she couldn't help but snort coldly as she continued, ”The Jiang Family did conceal the He clan for quite a number of years. I remember the last time I saw the He clan was twelve years ago.”
At that time, nothing bad had happened to the Xu Family yet. Xu Zhenbei was still a great general, and Jiang Family was a marriage alliance.
When she saw the He family from afar that day, she didn't take them seriously at the time. However, she suddenly remembered a few days ago.
Madame Jiang did not expect Granny to see the He family twelve years ago. She did not know what to think and looked at Old Madame Xu hesitantly. Obviously, she did not know how to continue.
Old Madame Xu looked at Madame Jiang's expression and knew that she still had more to say. ”Why aren't you continuing? ”What else are you hiding from our family? Hurry up and tell us.”
When she heard Old Madame Xu's words, she thought that she had heard of something, and anxiously opened her mouth to speak: ”Mother, although Brother Ha is from the He Clan, he is my brother's only son after all, the future Patriarch of Jiang Family.”
When Madame Jiang said this, all the Old Madame Xu and the rest in the hall quickly looked at each other.
Old Madame Xu and Xu Nuanwen were the first to calm down their expressions. Xu Yanzhu was slower by a step, but because Dong Shu did not manage to understand it in time, she was delayed for an instant.
Because Madame Jiang was too nervous, she didn't notice anything amiss in their expressions.
After she had revealed this big secret, when Madame Jiang opened her mouth again, she was no longer in a difficult position.
”My brother really liked Madam He, so he drugged her on the first night she came in. ”Later, when the He family became pregnant, he announced that his elder sister-in-law was pregnant. When Brother Ha is born, he will write it down in my elder sister-in-law's name.”
Just as Madame Jiang finished speaking, she looked at her suspiciously, ”How is it that your sister-in-law is willing?”
