Uncle Mo was silent for a moment.
The four sons of the Jiang family…
Look at the way the young miss phrased it. It was as if an outsider was listening to gossip.
“Actually, this matter isn’t that easy to explain…” Uncle Mo thought about the phrasing carefully and recalled, “Master was a very serious person who pursued perfection. Therefore, he was very strict with the four young masters. He wanted to train them to become qualified successors. From a young age, he required them to be top-notch and to get first place in everything…”
As Jiang Yu listened, she felt that something was wrong.
“All four of them had to get first place? They are of different ages. Does that mean that they were required to get first place in different grades?”
Although it wasn’t impossible, she didn’t have a good understanding of the other students learning level, so she didn’t comment on them.
But Jiang Zeyu?
It would be good enough if he didn’t get first place from the bottom, right?
“Master did indeed have such a request.”
Uncle Mo sighed, “Miss, you’ve been interacting with the four young masters, so you should have some understanding of them. You should know that they all engaged in different professions, but… actually, when they were young, Master didn’t allow them to have any ideas other than running the family business.”
“What do you mean?”
Uncle Mo was a little hesitant.
Miss was too young when she got lost, so she probably didn’t have any impression of Father Jiang anymore. Basically, she could treat father Jiang as some mere figurehead.
If he were to talk about Father Jiang’s high standards in front of miss, he was afraid that miss would get a bad impression of this deceased father with whom she hadn’t had much contact.
To be fair, Master hadn’t been treated him badly. By saying this, was he saying bad things about Master?
He was already dead. Wouldn’t it be bad if miss was dissatisfied with her father?
Jiang Yu saw through Uncle Mo’s misgivings and said directly, “Uncle Mo, you’ve been in the Jiang family for so long. You should know that my original name was given to Jiang Wan, right?”
Uncle Mo paused and said with some embarrassment, “Yes, young miss, I know.”
Speaking of this, he couldn’t understand what his mister had been thinking.
However, his mister’s attitude was certain. Mother Jiang had already passed away, and the Lu family’s young miss had already entered the Jiang family. No one could disobey him.
Furthermore, Master had been strict with his sons. Although he was also strict with his daughter, he was much gentler on her.
Her hobbies were all up to her. On the contrary, the young lady of the Lu family interfered more. Fortunately, Jiang Wan was also intelligent. Mister praised her endlessly and often praised his stepdaughter in front of his four sons.
However, the four young masters were already rebellious. If he praised Jiang Wan in front of them, wouldn’t it make the four young masters resent Jiang Wan even more?
However, Jiang Wan was soft-hearted and often spoke up for the four young masters. If Father Jiang hadn’t forced them so hard, perhaps they would have gotten along better with Jiang Wan.
Oh, no, it wasn’t that the four young masters were rebellious. Jiang Chenglang had always been very receptive to the Master’s training plans and never resisted.
Gradually, expectations on Jiang Chenglang grew higher and the Master’s scolding became worse.
Uncle Mo was immersed in his memories. He didn’t want to comment too much on his dead master. However, when he heard Jiang Yu’s words, he couldn’t help but overthink.
However, Jiang Yu wanted to shatter his hesitation.
“Did you know that Jiang Wan is his illegitimate daughter?”
“What?”
Uncle Mo almost jumped up from his stool.
“How… How could it be? How could Miss Jiang Wan be Master’s illegitimate daughter?”
