Jiang Chunlan had something on her mind these days and kept to herself, fearing that if the Han family members found out about her association with those men, or if those men, driven into a corner, came to entangle her, she would be in trouble. Every time she faced Han Yu’s cold, piercing gaze, she felt a chill run through her. At this moment, she didn’t even care how much she liked her cousin; she wanted to return home if it wasn’t for the fear of arousing suspicion.
“Third Cousin’s wife, what should I do? If Fourth Cousin and the people from Su Family find out that I was behind this, they will never spare me. Please think of a way to save me,” Jiang Chunlan couldn’t hold back any longer and went to find Mrs. Wang. Mrs. Wang had strongly supported the plot from the beginning, but now, in a state of panic and out of ideas, she could only seek Mrs. Wang’s advice.
Mrs. Wang had not hesitated to offer suggestions to Jiang Chunlan for stirring up trouble with Su Wenyue. Jiang Chunlan had grown accustomed to following her advice.
Mrs. Wang’s status in the Han family was precarious, even with a child in her womb. Though the Han family dared not mistreat her, she understood that without delivering a son, she would have to continue leading a low-profile existence. While Jiang Chunlan was afraid, Mrs. Wang was also worried about being implicated. When she saw Jiang Chunlan coming to her in a frantic state for advice, her face showed her displeasure, and she cursed her inwardly.
If not for the fear that Jiang Chunlan might rashly implicate her, Mrs. Wang would’ve liked to chase her out of the room. As it was, she had to pacify Jiang Chunlan, ensuring she wouldn’t think to drag her into the mess. It was a tiresome and exhausting task, leaving Mrs. Wang feeling like she had brought this upon herself.
“Chunlan, don’t panic. It’s not like you did it yourself. What do those young guys have to do with you? When Fourth Younger Brother asks, just deny it. After all, they have no proof. They can’t slander you just because some people talk nonsense. You’re her cousin, and even your mother-in-law wouldn’t let you suffer a wrongful accusation,” Mrs. Wang said, confident that unless Jiang Chunlan admitted it, the link couldn’t be traced back to her.
“Really? But Fourth Cousin looks at me like he wants to devour me; I’m really scared. Maybe I should still go back,” Jiang Chunlan considered but felt she didn’t have the courage. Fourth Cousin was frightening when he was angry, and she dared not confront him.
“If you go back now, wouldn’t that just prove you have a guilty conscience and raise suspicion? Besides, even if you went back, Fourth Younger Brother and the Su Family could still easily find you. Here, at least your mother-in-law is looking out for you. Even if Fourth Younger Brother wanted to make things difficult for you, he’d have to show some leniency for her sake. If you went back and he lost his restraint, that would be a real disaster.”
Stupid fool thought Mrs. Wang, frustrated, but she had to lay out the pros and cons for Jiang Chunlan, fearing she might do something foolish to drag her down, too. Luckily, though Jiang Chunlan was naive, she heeded Mrs. Wang’s words, and after some persuading, Mrs. Wang managed to calm her down, though she remained uneasy.
