Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Before she could finish speaking, a raised voice suddenly came from outside.

“Mother, what’s going on?”

The people by the door turned around and saw Chen Liang walking over with a dark expression.

It was unknown who went to call him. Looking at Chen Liang’s expression, he probably knew the gist of the matter.

She was not the only one who came. The Chen family had also come.

Madam Zhou felt that she had lost all her face, but this person was her sister- in-law. She could only take a few steps forward and pull Madam Fang to the side to keep a distance from Jiang Yongkang. At the same time, she tugged at her slightly torn clothes.

Chen Yulan ran to Madam Fang’s side, patted her back, and comforted her in a low voice.

Madam Zhou stood to the side, unwilling to get involved with her.

Chen Liang’s heavy gaze landed on Jiang Yongkang. “What exactly happened?” Jiang Yongkang thought that since Chen Liang was Madam Fang’s eldest uncle, he should be on her side, so he quickly told him the excuse he had just said. However, just as he finished speaking, someone sneered.

Naturally, Chen Liang did not believe it. His expression darkened even more. His sharp gaze landed on Madam Fang. “What did you come back for?” Madam Fang stiffened and opened her mouth, unable to speak for a long time. She did not leave anything in the courtyard at all. When she moved to town, she packed everything and left.

Where could she find something?

She searched her clothes. Other than a handkerchief and a little silver, there was nothing else.

Could it be that she would come back to find these two things? Not to mention that others did not believe her, even she did not believe it herself.

However, Chen Liang had completely lost his patience. He suddenly shouted, “Speak!!”

Madam Fang was shocked and her mind started to be in a mess again. She opened her mouth and said, “I, I didn’t. We have something to discuss…” Jiang Yongkang almost died from her stupidity. He had finally found an excuse, so she should have continued the story. Then, she would casually say that the things she wanted to take were gone for some reason. Could it be that Chen Liang, the eldest uncle, really dared to take his sister-in-law to the pond?

Chen Liang’s voice became even colder. “Discuss what?”

“We discussed…”

Before Madam Fang could finish, Chen Yulan, who was hugging her, whispered in her ear, “Mother, admit your relationship with Uncle Jiang.”

Madam Fang looked at her in shock, but Chen Yulan was a little anxious. “Are you really going to say that you’re plotting against the Gu family? It’s hard to say if others will believe it, but Gu Yundong will definitely settle scores with us. The Gu family is rich now, and Young Master Liu is backing them up. They can crush us like ants. We can’t have anything to do with them.”

Most importantly, if the Gu family’s matter was brought up, she would definitely be implicated. At that time, everyone would know that she was vicious. How could the Wu family tolerate her?

But Madam Fang was still hesitating. How could she admit to having a relationship with Jiang Yongkang?

If she admitted it, what would happen to her in the future?

However, Chen Yulan couldn’t care less. Seeing that she didn’t say anything for a long time, she simply said, “My mother was indeed talking to Uncle Jiang. They, they were discussing their marriage.”

Madam Fang was stunned, and so was Jiang Yongkang.

Chen Liang and the Chen family were also stunned. The surrounding villagers widened their eyes in shock.

Discuss, discuss the marriage???

Madam Fang wanted to deny it, but Chen Yulan grabbed her hand.

She still said before Madam Fang could, “Yes, Uncle. This was my idea.”
