But, it would have been unlikely that Jiang Yu would be found if the unfaithful man had still been alive…
Jiang Yu extended her hand and waved at Uncle Mo. “Sorry, I couldn’t hold back my anger. Continue.”
Uncle Mo continued, “So, the one who spent the most time with the eldest young master was the mistress’ daughter. Regardless of whether it was real or not, she was very concerned about the eldest young master. She often defended the eldest young master in front of the unfaithful man and the mistress. There were a few times when the unfaithful man was dissatisfied with the eldest young master and wanted to punish him. The mistress’ daughter even took the initiative to accept the punishment and said that she wanted to take responsibility for anything that went wrong.
“After spending so much time together, it was no wonder that the eldest young master and the mistress’ daughter grew to have a good relationship. After all…”
Uncle Mo sighed again.
“After all… the eldest young master was really lonely.”
Even though there were so many brothers in the family, they couldn’t understand what it was like to be brothers.
They had been good brothers in the past.
But that was only when Mother Jiang had been alive.
Jiang Chenglang was a child who wasn’t good with his words. So, even if his motive was to share the burden with the other young masters, no one would accept his kindness.
Instead, they felt that he would do anything to inherit the position of heir.
Jiang Yu could almost imagine how clumsy Jiang Chenglang had been.
Back then, after he had been misunderstood by the other brothers of the Jiang family, did he ever think of explaining himself?
Or did he feel that explaining himself was a useless venture?
So, did he simply let it go until now?
Jiang Yu lowered her eyes and thought for a moment. “Uncle Mo, thank you for telling me all this today and sorry for wasting your time. Go and rest.”
Uncle Mo looked at the time and realized that he had unknowingly been chatting with Jiang Yu for hours.
He wiped his hands on his knees and said sheepishly, “Miss, please forgive me if I have said something wrong tonight… it’s been a long time since I’ve said so much, and the news today was too…”
Jiang Yu nodded and said, “I know you’re one of the oldest staff of the Jiang family and know a lot about this family. That’s why I’m talking to you. There’s nothing wrong with exposing something that’s wrong. We’re just chatting. Thank you.”
Uncle Mo rubbed the back of his head and said, “Then, I’ll take my leave first.”
Jiang Yu nodded.
Uncle Mo stood up and was about to leave when he suddenly thought of something. He turned around and said, “Miss, I’d like to say one more thing.”
“Please, say it.”
“Actually, I feel that you’re all blood-related brothers and sisters. As a family, you shouldn’t be strangers to each other… If Madam was still alive, she probably wouldn’t have wanted to see all of you like this…”
Jiang Yu: “There’s no sister.”
Uncle Mo: “Huh?”
Jiang Yu looked down. “There’s only brother and sister. Thank you, Uncle Mo. I know what to do. I know.”
…
Even though she knew what to do, Jiang Yu was still just a child when it came to interpersonal relationships.
After hearing so much news today, Jiang Yu laid on her bed and stared at the ceiling. Surprisingly, she wasn’t sleepy at all.
She seemed to sympathize with them.
She was also angry.
Apart from these feelings of sympathy and anger, there was something else that was hidden deep inside. She couldn’t understand what was feeling that feeling.
Was it regret?
Regret that Mother Jiang had made a mistake?
Or…
Suspicion?
At this moment, Feng Linbai called.
Seeing that it was him, Jiang Yu didn’t reject the call.
It looked like even when her thoughts were in such a mess, she was surprised to hear Feng Linbai speak.
“Yu’er, are you free next weekend?”
