232: The battle between the celestials and the human was terrifying.

Hearing this, Jiang Shuwan suddenly grabbed Feng Ming's hand, her eyes red. “Husband, she hates my mother the most. She definitely won't let me see my mother.”

Feng Ming paused, immediately realizing who Jiang Shuwan was referring to, but still felt confused. “What's going on?”

Jiang Shuwan sobbed, “Although she is the Main Wife, my Father loved my mother the most. That's why, after my Father passed away, she suppressed my mother and me in every way. This time, she definitely won't let me go back.”

“Even before she wasn't in charge, my mother and I didn't have easy lives. Now... Husband, I'm so worried about my mother.”

As Jiang Shuwan spoke, tears streamed down her Face.

Hearing this, Feng Ming immediately stood up. “Let's go, back to the Inn first.”

Feng Da asked doubtfully, “Young Master, aren't you going to Claim the Reward?”

Feng Ming shook his head. “Claiming the Reward a day or two later won't matter. The main thing is, after hearing what Shuwan said, I'm also very worried about Mother-in-law.”

“Since the Formal Invitation route won't work, we'll go directly to Mother-in-law's residence tonight to check on her.”

In the blink of an eye, it was late at night. Inside a Teahouse in Liangzhou City, Jiang Huai, having eaten his fill and feeling satisfied, pulled up his pants and casually tossed over a Storage Ring.

“There are ten thousand Spirit Stones here. Take them and use them. If it's not enough, come find me again.”

As he spoke, Jiang Huai was full of lingering satisfaction, clearly pleased with the recent experience.

Huangfu Yunyan did not reach out to take it, which immediately darkened Jiang Huai's expression. “What? Is it too little?”

Hearing this, Huangfu Yunyan shook her head and said directly, “Young Master, I don't need Spirit Stones. Furthermore, since my parents and Family are gone, no amount of Spirit Stones is useful to me.”

Jiang Huai's expression immediately worsened. “I won't marry you, nor will I take responsibility for you.”

Huangfu Yunyan nodded. “I know, and I never dared to hope that Young Master would take responsibility for me. I only wish for Young Master to help me do one thing.”

Jiang Huai raised an eyebrow. “Speak?”

Huangfu Yunyan did not speak directly but changed the subject. “Does Young Master still remember Xiao Yi?”

Jiang Huai's heart seized up. Xiao Yi? Not only did he remember him, but they had also done quite a few unsavory things together due to their shared interests.

Jiang Huai nodded. “You know him? Calculating the time, he should be arriving soon.”

Huangfu Yunyan shook her head. “I'm afraid Young Master will be disappointed. Xiao Yi won't be able to come to Liang Province.”

Jiang Huai was stunned. “What do you mean?”

“Because five days ago, he was killed in Meng City.”

Hearing this, Jiang Huai's expression immediately changed. “What did you say?”

But immediately afterward, he let out a sigh of relief.

“Xiao Yi is the son of Xiao Ze. Someone actually dared to kill him?”

Huangfu Yunyan nodded. “This is related to the matter I wanted to discuss with Young Master Jiang.”

“The one who killed him was Feng Ming, the Second Young Master of the Feng Family in Qingyang City.”

Jiang Huai didn't understand. “I haven't heard of this person. Why did he kill Xiao Yi? And what does this have to do with you?”

“Because Xiao Yi tried to humiliate Feng Ming's wife, Feng Ming became enraged and killed him. Feng Ming's wife is a daughter who married out of your Jiang Family.”

Upon hearing this, Jiang Huai immediately became interested.

“Who is this person from the Jiang Family?”

“Jiang Shuwan.”

Jiang Huai nodded. “My Third Uncle's daughter. However, my Third Uncle has been dead for many years. She got married last year. Why was she in Meng City?”

“Furthermore, how did Xiao Yi provoke her? Even if a member of my Jiang Family caused a fuss that reached Father, Xiao Ze wouldn't be able to gain an advantage, right?”

Although she married out, she still carried the Jiang surname. If the matter didn't escalate, the Jiang Family could turn a blind eye, but if it blew up, they would certainly protect their own.

If Xiao Yi tried to bully a woman from the Jiang Family, he would naturally have to provide an explanation.

Huangfu Yunyan shook her head. “That is no longer important. Xiao Yi attempting to molest a Jiang Family daughter was disrespectful to the Jiang Family, but the one who killed him was Jiang Shuwan's Husband, Feng Ming. Therefore, as long as Feng Ming is pushed out, Lord Xiao's anger will naturally subside.”

Jiang Huai naturally knew this, but Feng Ming was Jiang Shuwan's Husband, so he naturally represented the Jiang Family as well.

Huangfu Yunyan naturally saw through Jiang Huai's thoughts, and she continued, “This leads to the second matter I need to discuss with Young Master.”

“It is true that Jiang Shuwan married into the Feng Family, but logically, she should have married the Eldest Young Master of the Feng Family. However, the Eldest Young Master was absent at the time, so Feng Ming married Jiang Shuwan in his Brother's Stead.”

“Considering the status of the Jiang Family, the Feng Family is merely a small Family. To disrespect the Jiang Family so much by having a Concubine-born Son marry a Jiang Family daughter is simply outrageous disrespect.”

“What did you say? The Feng Family actually let a Concubine-born Son marry a daughter of my Jiang Family? This is preposterous.”

Jiang Huai's Face instantly flushed red with anger. “Father values the Three Cardinal Guides and Five Constant Virtues and seniority the most. If he finds out about this, can the Feng Family bear the consequences?”

Huangfu Yunyan nodded. “By marrying Jiang Shuwan and killing Young Master Xiao, Feng Ming has naturally offended both the Jiang Family and the Xiao Family. Moreover, Lord Xiao is currently on his way to Liangzhou City.”

“So, what do you want me to do?”

Having heard this far, Jiang Huai already understood part of the plan. He asked Huangfu Yunyan with a smile.

“I want Young Master to expose the Scandal of Feng Ming marrying in his Brother's Stead at the Expedition Banquet.”

“This will not only save the Jiang Family's Face but also allow us to do Lord Xiao a favor by severing Feng Ming's connection with the Jiang Family, letting Lord Xiao take him away.”

Jiang Huai nodded. “That's a good plan. My Father definitely won't tolerate the matter of marrying in his Brother's Stead, and it shouldn't be brought up by outsiders. If our Jiang Family proactively mentions it and deals with it publicly, it will count as rectifying our Family Customs and deterring the world. The dignity of our Jiang Family must not be violated!”

Huangfu Yunyan smiled and nodded. “This Servant also meant the same thing.”

Jiang Huai nodded. “I can agree to this, but I cannot be the one to mention it publicly. After all, everyone knows I haven't left Liangzhou City; it would be inappropriate for me to initiate it.”

Huangfu Yunyan understood and nodded. “Young Master, rest assured. On the day of the Expedition Banquet, I can expose this matter in front of everyone on your behalf.”

“And I will also arrange for the Clansmen from Qingyang City to come and testify.”

Jiang Huai laughed. “By doing this, you will completely offend Feng Ming. Aren't you afraid of his revenge?”

“We were already Mortal Enemies. We held back from killing him only because we lacked the strength. Now that the opportunity is right before us, why would I be afraid of retaliation?”

Jiang Huai laughed. “I understand. This was your purpose in approaching me. What a vicious woman, offering even your body for revenge.”

Huangfu Yunyan was unconcerned. “As long as Young Master Jiang can help me get revenge, what does a mere body matter? If you wish, I am willing to be an Unknown Concubine for Young Master!”

Hearing this, Jiang Huai couldn't help but smile.

“Is that so? Now that you mention it, I don't want to leave tonight!”

Hearing this, Huangfu Yunyan smiled and walked over, placing her palm on Jiang Huai's chest. She chuckled, “As long as Young Master is willing, This Servant is naturally willing to let the Gauze Curtains fall and spend the night with you.”

Jiang Huai smiled and pulled Huangfu Yunyan into his embrace. The room rapidly heated up, and a passionate Battle began once more.
