Chapter 35



Xia remained silent with no expressions on her face.

She touched the silver in her pocket and the glint in her eyes dimmed a bit.

The Jiang family had never been separated during their heyday, let alone now.

Besides, even the worst house cost a thousand taels of silver.

Jiang Yubai was the eldest son of the family, so his parents would follow them even if they were separated. However, this might not be the case right now.

Xia stopped thinking about it. Meanwhile, a clamor of voices came from outside the door.

People gathered at the door of the Zhu family. They were all neighbors and there were some kind people.

A few women held Lady Zhu’s arms and sighed. “Lady Zhu, it’s been eight years. Let’s stop looking. You still have to live your life. You said you have to keep walking to the east. Where do you need to go exactly?”

“How can you believe what the fraud at the Palace of Salvation said? Who’s Ling? You don’t know?” a few women said anxiously.

The old lady of the Zhu family had become a widow when she was young and she had just a daughter. Fortunately, the old lady was bold and cautious enough to go to the inner city to cook for the nobles there in earlier years.

Those nobles loved her cooking and they rewarded her generously, which was why she could buy a house.

Her daughter had an indifferent appearance, but she acted extremely neatly and appropriately. The old lady arranged a marriage for her. And yet, her daughter didn’t like that guy and she chose a handsome young man in the end.

After being married for two years, her daughter went missing on the way back to her home while she was seven months pregnant with her grandchild. Lady Zhu immediately quit her job and looked for her daughter wholeheartedly.

Eight years had passed. She was now so old that she didn’t look like herself anymore.

The yard that was once well maintained also brought a bit of loneliness now. It seemed to have lost its popularity.

“You’re going to look for your child again? If your son-in-laws knows about it, he’s going to be sad again. He’s never married again after eight years and still continues to take care of you. Even your own son may not do so,” a woman with a round face next to her said.

When her daughter went missing, her son-in-law thought he didn’t take good care of his own wife and he came to kill himself in front of the old lady.

Luckily, he was saved in time and survived in the end. Nobody had ever suspected him a bit.

“Just one more time. Please, everyone,” Lady Zhu said as she gave people red

packets

. The women were too embarrassed to accept it, so they immediately waved their hands.

They yelled and asked their husbands to go with Lady Zhu.

Xiao Huailu followed her brother and walked on the outermost edge. Jiang Huaian couldn’t bear to see Lady Zhu bow every three steps and kneel every five steps without hesitation.

“That fraud in the Palace of Salvation even deceived such a poor woman like Lady Zhu. We should really ask someone to tear it down!”

Everyone was discussing with each other. They didn’t seem to have any respect for the Palace of Salvation at all.

Xiao Huailu pouted. She was angry.

She was really angry.

After walking for an hour, they crossed the river and were about to exit the area of the outer city.

Lady Zhu’s brain was already full of blood.

If it weren’t for the help of those women, she could hardly lift her feet.

The wailing cry of the old lady had already become a silent whimper. That miserable look almost made people cry.

“Ah, people in the Palace of Salvation are really bad. Why do they have to fool a poor mother?” Jiang Huaian mumbled. He didn’t notice his sister’s look of complaint.

“Hey, why do I feel like we’re walking towards the home of Lady Zhu’s son-in-law? If we keep going towards the east, go over the mountain and cross the river, wouldn’t his home be nearby?” A man was a bit startled. He pointed at the house hidden in the forest far away and asked.

Wasn’t there a man squatting at the wall?
