C175 (1/2)
Xu Shiqiu's guess was not wrong. Even though the sky in the capital had not changed, people who were well-informed could feel that there was a quiet undercurrent brewing.
Although Yan Ye had returned to the capital early, he had taken a detour to meet someone, so he did not return to the capital much earlier than Xu Shiqiu.
The night that Yan Ye returned to the capital, he went to see Xu Yanzhu and informed him of her arrangements.
”My identity is not yet known, so I will invite an uncle to come forward and help me discuss with Jiang Han. His identity is not ordinary, I believe Jiang Han is willing to give him face and not investigate my identity too deeply. ” Yan Ye looked at Xu Yanzhu, and after he said those words gently, he nervously reached out and placed his hand on Xu Yanzhu's abdomen that had yet to rise.
When he thought about how his subordinate's belly was just a layer away from his flesh and blood, Yan Ye felt a little sore in his eyes.
Ever since what happened more than ten years ago, he had never thought that he would one day have a child before his revenge.
When Xu Yanzhu saw Yan Ye, her heart was completely at ease. Now that he heard him say this, she naturally could understand why.
Xu Yanzhu did not ask Yan Ye who the person she found back was. In this period of time, she had taken many bitter medicines in peace to recuperate her child. She also understood that her health could only be healthy if she took care of her body once and for all.
So she did not think much about it, and only acted as if she was handing everything over to Yan Ye.
Seeing Xu Yanzhu's expression, and thinking back to the flowery words that had been said by his just now, for the sake of making the child in his womb suffer daily, Yan Ye sighed before speaking, ”Zhu'er, this time was my fault. Otherwise, you wouldn't have suffered so much.”
”Brother Yan, I am willing to give birth to your child.” After she finished speaking, Xu Yanzhu paused for a while before continuing, ”Moreover, I was willing to get pregnant at this time. This cannot be blamed on you.”
Yan Ye knew that Xu Yanzhu was speaking the truth. What happened that night was not something that could be said with just a few words.
The two of them had fallen in love. Although this child didn't come at the right time, they truly liked him.
Yan Ye had just returned to the capital, and did not stay for long with Xu Yanzhu. After waiting for a while, he left a message that after Xu Shiqiu returned to the capital, he would first pay respects to him in Xu Family, and then follow him there.
Xu Yanzhu understood that Yan Ye was asking her to give him a rough estimate of the time. After all, her Third Uncle had made quite a big movement when she returned to the capital, and would probably be back in three to five days.
And the time that Jiang Han had given them, was still quite a few days away. It was enough for them to first settle some things with their Xu Family before returning with their Jiang Family.
”Brother Yan, don't worry, I will tell Jiang Han about this.” After saying that, Xu Yanzhu thought for a while, then opened her mouth: ”Grandmother and Third Uncle are probably not so easy to fool. My aunt also knows about my matter, I'm afraid she would also go there.”
As for her parents, even now they still thought that she was sick from working on her mother-in-law's funeral and didn't know that she was pregnant.
Regarding this matter, Xu Yanzhu did not want her parents to get involved either.
After hearing what Xu Yanzhu said, Yan Ye did not speak, but nodded to her, indicating that he knew.
After Yan Ye left, Xu Yanzhu was not in a hurry to deliver a letter to Jiang Han either. Instead, she waited until the evening of the second day to tell Jiang Han that when her Third Uncle returned, he would first pay respects to his grandmother, his Third Uncle, and then come to Jiang Family.
Jiang Han didn't mind this at all. After all, he still had to suffer from the rumors that Old Madame Xu revealed when she came to Jiang Family.
Thinking about how Xu Yanzhu had been raised in front of the Old Madame Xu since childhood, how she had a good relationship with the Xu Family and Third Madame, he did not say anything more.
Furthermore, the capital had not been stable lately. Third Prince had clearly not paid attention to Jiang Family before, but who knew that she would actually send someone to find him during this period of time?
Jiang Han understood that the Third Prince was dishonest and wanted to do something big, but he lacked money.
Jiang Family was a business with many generations. Outsiders just did not know how much silver they had, but they did know that Jiang Family did not lack silver.
However, Jiang Han was unwilling to involve himself in all of this. If it was said that the Fifth Prince had come looking for him, then he might be willing to secretly help out with the relationship between them with Xu Yanzhu.
Even a merchant like Jiang Han could tell that the power of the Third Prince in the imperial court was not enough. Although the imperial family of his uncle and imperial concubine were both good, even if they met Zhang Family, they wouldn't be able to put up a fight.
Moreover, his Xu Family had also recovered and was now linked to Prince Duan, so his chances of winning were really too small.
The most important thing is that Jiang Han felt that Fifth Prince was even more suitable than him to be His Majesty. At the very least, Fifth Prince wasn't like him.
Due to this matter, Jiang Han had been rather busy recently, and coincidentally, Xu Shiqiu was about to return to the capital, so he prepared to use this matter to discuss it with them.
Jiang Family were willing to secretly help the Fifth Prince s, but they had to protect their Jiang Family from being hated and schemed against by the people from Third Prince's faction.
Jiang Han decided his bottom line in his heart, and calmly waited for Xu Shiqiu to return to the capital.
It was not only Jiang Han who was waiting for Xu Shiqiu to return to the capital, even everyone in Xu Family was waiting for him.
