Chapter Eighty-Four

Yu Shuyue grew up surrounded by thousands of favors. Her father doted on her and her brothers loved her. Every time she went to her maternal grandfather's house in Jiangnan, she was surrounded by everyone except one person.

That is Jiang Ming.

She was only eight years old when she first went to Jiangnan. She had been taken care of by her father and brother since she was a child, and she often came into contact with the rough-tempered soldiers in the military camp.

At that time, Yu Shuyue had an exceptionally simple and ignorant temperament, and was favored by her maternal grandfather after she came to her home.

Jiang Ming was two years older than her, and at the beginning he fulfilled his brother's responsibilities and focused on her in everything.

Yu Shuyue really thought that he was sincerely good to her and treated him like an elder brother.

But who would have thought that this man loved her in every possible way in front of him and the adults of the Jiang family, but behind his back he told others that she was hypocritical and that he came to the Jiang family to snatch his mother when he had no mother. The person he disliked the most was

She did.

When Yu Shuyue heard this, she felt sad for a long time, and she immediately reflected on herself. Later, she even thought about pleasing him and making him stop hating her so much.

But unexpectedly, he took advantage of her guilt and flattery and almost killed her.

From then on, all Yu Shuyue's guilt towards him disappeared.

No matter how Jiang Ming compensated her after that, Yu Shuyue would never treat him as a relative like before.

If she had known that he would follow him to Beijing today, she would never have chosen to see her grandfather at this time.

After all, she really didn't want to see Jiang Ming.

Jiang Ming couldn't help but feel bitter in his heart when he looked at her disgusted and impatient look.

But this was all a mistake he made when he was young and ignorant, and he could only admit it.

Jiang Ming felt bitter inside, but his expression was really calm, and he even smiled a little, as if he didn't care at all about her cold words to him.

"My father-in-law came all the way from the south of the Yangtze River and was tired of traveling and traveling. How about he rest in the cleaned yard first?"

Father Yu didn't want to see Jiang Ming either.

But Jiang Ming was the only member of the Jiang family, so he wanted to give his father-in-law some face, so he just ignored him and didn't want to see him.

"Grandpa, Ah Yue has prepared the best courtyard in the house for you, so you can have a good rest."

"Hahaha, thank you for your hard work, Ah Yue, but this time my grandpa will be staying in Shangjing for a while. For convenience, I have asked the housekeeper to come to Shangjing and buy a house in Nanyuan. I have just checked the distance.

Yu Mansion is less than two-quarters of an hour away, which is very convenient."

The Jiang family is not just here to visit their granddaughter this time, they also want to develop their industry in Jiangnan to Beijing.

Moreover, Daqi is more open, and businessmen can also take the imperial examination. Mr. Jiang does not want Jiang Ming to be a businessman for the rest of his life. He has already participated in the previous boy's examination, provincial examination, and general examination. Now that he has reached the point of being elected, he is only missing the last step.

The palace test.

Mr. Jiang's trip to the north has three purposes. One is to visit his granddaughter, the other is to expand his property and come to Shangjing to get a share of the pie, and the third is to allow his grandson to study in Shangjing with peace of mind and take part in the imperial examination next year.

Therefore, I won't be returning to Jiangnan in a short time, and I can't stay in Yu Mansion forever, so I bought a house.

Yu Shuyue originally wanted to stay with her grandfather, but when she thought that if her grandfather stayed here, Jiang Ming would also stay here.

In the blink of an eye, she thought that it was only two streets away from Nanyuan anyway, so she could visit her grandfather at any time if she missed her, so she did not force her to stay.

"Ah Yue, this is the fabric I bought from a merchant in the Western Regions. It is as thin as cicada wings and has a cool feeling. It is most suitable for summer clothes."

Before leaving, Jiang Ming sent his servant to bring some fabrics that he had specially found for Yu Shuyue.

He knew that she was most afraid of heat.

"Thank you, no need."

Yu Shuyue refused very simply and clearly.

She didn't want to have anything to do with Jiang Ming, and she didn't dare to accept his kindness in the least. Who knew what evil he was holding back.

Even after so many years, the grievances and hurt she suffered from him have been deeply engraved in the depths of her memory.

"That's okay. I'll ask the embroiderer at home to make it for you before giving it to you. The embroiderers of the Jiang family are among the best in the whole of Jiangnan."

Yu Shuyue knew that he just liked to be self-centered and couldn't listen to what others said, so she ignored him.

Anyway, she wouldn't want his things.

After sending her grandfather and the man away, Yu Shuyue looked at Shaoyao resentfully, "Shaoyao, why didn't you tell me that the bad man was here too?"

"Miss, I wanted to say it, but I didn't have time..."

Shaoyao was aggrieved. My young lady was a person with Qinggong skills. How could she, a maid who knew nothing, catch up with her?

Yu Shuyue didn't really blame her, she just said it casually.

In fact, since Jiang Ming almost killed her, Yu Shuyue didn't really want to go to Jiangnan.

But every year, my grandfather's letters were sent one by one outside the Great Wall. Even though she was so old, she really loved her. Every time she went there, she would kick Jiang Ming out of the house for a while.

That's why she never expected that her grandfather would bring Jiang Ming to the house.

Forget it, don’t think about it anymore.

She also wanted to reply to her brother's letter, hoping that everything would be well for him in Suizhou.



After Mr. Jiang got on the carriage, the smile on his face slowly faded away. He closed his eyes to rest and sighed helplessly: "It's been six years, and the little girl still holds a grudge. Ming'er, the road ahead of you is

The road blocks its growth."

Jiang Ming picked up the curtain on the carriage, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and looked at the Yu Mansion, which was getting farther and farther away. With certain determination in his eyes, he only replied to his grandfather with twelve words.

"If you keep going, things will come soon. If you keep going, you will have a promising future."

He was willing to spend his whole life atone for the mistakes he had made in the past.

I just hope Ah Yue can give him this opportunity.



Yu Shuyue has been a little irritable recently. It has been half a month since she received a safe letter from her brother.

In his last letter to her half a month ago, his brother mentioned that they had arrived in Suizhou. Floods in Suizhou continued, many places collapsed, and there was a plague in the city. He would compare it.

Be busy so she doesn't have to worry.

Yu Shuyue could understand this. The reason why she was irritable was that she had been feeling panicked for the past two days and always had an ominous premonition.

She couldn't sit still.

At night, Yu Shuyue paced back and forth in the room, unable to sleep peacefully, and finally let Shaoyao carry a lantern towards her father's study.

It was already the end of Haishi, and Father Yu's study was still lit.

"Knock knock knock——"

"Didn't I tell you not to disturb me, General?"

Father Yu didn't even raise his head when he heard the news, he was all focused on the folding paper in his hand.

"Daddy, it's me."

"It's Ah Yue, why are you still up late?"

Hearing his daughter's voice, Father Yu's hands froze, and he hid the folded book under other books in a panic.

"Daddy hasn't gone to bed yet."

Yu Shuyue's heart skipped a beat because of his flustered movements.

Daddy had never been on guard against her, nor had he ever seen him so unstable.

In the past, even if it was a military secret, he would do it in a leisurely and orderly manner.

She was already extremely uneasy because of her brother's matter, but now seeing his reaction, she suddenly stuttered and her expression froze.

"Dad, what happened to brother?"
