Chapter 533 Pregnancy, the Secret of the Tang Family
"If you save me, I will help you destroy the Jiang family. I will make their lives worse than death. I will control them severely and make them live in pain for the rest of their lives. They won't be able to die even if they want to."
Wu Ya's hatred for the other members of the Jiang family is deeper than Jiang Youzhen imagined. Because the Jiang family watched her die without helping, she had to make the Jiang family experience the torment she had gone through in the past two years.
"In fact, you don't need to do anything. Your family is finished. Your father is already a walking dead man. The doctor said years ago that his condition is not good. The old lady and the old man are not as strong as before. The old lady is sick from overwork. The fourth son's family can live as usual. The whole family lives on the copper coins that the old man earns from weaving baskets and selling them in town."
Jiang Youzhen thought about the current condition of the old house. She was too lazy to do anything. Once the old man and the old lady died, the family would be completely broken up.
Jiang Hailin was not at home all day, eating and drinking outside. He had no money, so he set up a stall on the street to write letters for people, and he did not give the money he earned to his family, but spent it all on himself.
Luo lived shamelessly with her two children in her mother's house. She was kicked out by her mother's sister-in-law a few years ago, and she kept asking Jiang Hailin for money.
Wu Ya shook her head, "No! This is far from enough! Where is Zhou? I want to find her and cut her into pieces."
As she spoke, she looked at Jiang Youzhen with pleading in her eyes.
"Liu Ya is your sister, so am I not your elder sister? I never bullied you before in the old house."
It's true that he didn't bully her, but he just watched from the sidelines and never intervened. Jiang Youzhen complained in his heart, but that was what the original owner had experienced.
"I have something that might interest you."
Wu Ya was afraid that Jiang Youzhen would not take action, so she had to use her trump card.
She just heard Tang Cheng call Jiang Youzhen "Jiang Juren" and thought that Jiang Youzhen would become an official in the future, so this thing would be very important to Jiang Youzhen.
Jiang Youzhen looked up with confusion in his eyes.
Wu Ya looked around and after making sure that there was no one around, she took out an opened letter from her bosom.
Wu Ya is literate. Her biological mother, Xiao Chen, claimed to be the wife of a scholar, so Wu Ya must be able to read and write so that she can find a good husband in the future. Seeing how mysterious she is, Jiang Youzhen became interested.
"On the day of the wedding, Master Tang was only breathing out, not breathing in. I was scared, so I hid behind the screen. It was a mess anyway, and they couldn't take care of me. Later, Master Tang asked everyone in the room to leave, saying that he wanted to see the old master for the last time. I was hesitating whether to go out, but someone came in from outside."
Jiang Youzhen took it and looked at it. The name of Mr. Tang was written on the cover of the letter, and the signature below was the word "Jun".
The handwriting was so powerful that it could be seen through the paper, especially the word "郡", which was sharp and vivid.
The letter had been opened, so Jiang Youzhen simply opened it and started reading.
The long paragraph above looked like a family letter, nothing unusual, just greetings. Jiang Youzhen read on patiently, and finally found something unusual in the last paragraph.
"The goods will be delivered to Yumen Pass in batches, and a man named Yunhu will come to you with the remaining half of the token."
These two sentences seem a bit abrupt in this long family letter.
Yumen Pass? Isn't that the border checkpoint of Dayun Dynasty? There is no trade at the border now, so sending them to Yumen Pass was for smuggling?
Although the imperial court has issued clear bans and severe crackdowns, it is not surprising that businessmen often take risks.
But this Mr. Tang looks like a wealthy man in town, but I didn't expect that he also does this business.
No wonder even the walls of the side hall are hung with famous paintings and calligraphy worth dozens of taels of silver. It seems that the family's wealth was earned in an unclear way.
If it was just smuggling, it wouldn't be a big deal.
"I don't know if this is useful to you. At that time, the man kept asking Master Tang where the token was. It's a pity that Master Tang didn't have much strength at that time, and his voice was too soft, so I didn't hear it clearly.
The man found a secret compartment in the bedroom and took out many letters from it. This one was the one he had forgotten because he was in a hurry. In addition, he took away a brown token when he left, which he had found on Mr. Tang.
"Did you see the token clearly? What did that person look like? Do you still have any impression of him?" Jiang Youzhen seemed to be thinking about something.
Wu Ya shook her head. "The token was a little big. I hid behind the screen and only saw a mark on the token through the gap. It looked like a torch. As for what the man looked like, the screen blocked my view. I only heard his voice. His accent seemed a little strange and didn't sound like Mandarin."
Wu Ya recalled carefully, and it was obvious that she was trying hard to recall more useful information.
Torch? Jiang Youzhen remembered that she seemed to have seen this symbol in a geography book. Suddenly, a light bulb went off in her mind. Isn't this the family emblem of the high priest family of the Northern Ming Kingdom outside the Great Wall?
In other words, this is no longer simple smuggling, but a serious crime of colluding with foreign vassals!
If it was a struggle within the court, Jiang Youzhen would not care so much, but he could not collude with foreign vassal states. If the Dayun Dynasty was infiltrated by foreign vassal forces, the court would be in danger.
Under the nest, have the eggs finished?
Jiang Youzhen put the letter in his arms and asked, "If you hear that voice again, will you still remember it?"
Wu Ya nodded, "I should remember it. I can't hear the voice, but I can definitely tell the accent."
Seeing that Wu Ya looked a little anxious, Jiang Youzhen knew what she was worried about.
"Don't worry, the things you gave me are very important. Although there is no relationship between you and me, I will naturally rescue you after I take your things."
There was a flash of intense joy in Wu Ya's eyes, but she quickly calmed down.
"Is that all? This letter is worth much more than that, right?"
Jiang Youzhen's eyes were like sharp arrows when he heard this, "Then what do you want? Tell me all about it."
Seeing Jiang Youzhen's expression turn cold, Wu Ya covered her belly and said, "I'm pregnant."
It was really a stone that caused a thousand waves. Jiang Youzhen was stunned for a moment, then looked at her loose clothes, "What are you going to do?"
Are you going to give birth to the baby? We don't even know whose the child is! Wouldn't it be a burden to have such a child?
"This child is a bastard, I don't want him!" Wu Ya looked determined.
"I can give you some money and a new identity so that you can start over." Jiang Youzhen felt that this was the best choice for Wu Ya.
"No!" Wu Ya shook her head. "I won't give up. I want to go back to the Jiang family. Give me five hundred taels of silver, and then ask the Tang family to hand over those who bullied me. I can do whatever I want with them. And you have to help me find that Zhou. And finally, the eldest young lady, Sun, can't let her go either."
Jiang Youzhen didn't expect Wu Ya to be so resolute, but she was right. No matter who suffered such an insult, it would not be easy to start a new life.
