Chapter 975: Another Scheme
The older one gets, the more they miss their children and grandchildren. Unfortunately, the son isn’t obedient, and there’s only one granddaughter, who is currently imprisoned.
At this moment, Old Madam Jiang can’t say she doesn’t regret; that’s simply not true. In fact, she wasn’t completely unaware of what Ming Lan and Jiang Mingzhu did back then.
It was just that she didn’t particularly like An Ru at the time and thought that if An Ru couldn’t even protect a child, how could she be fit to be a mother?
Besides, Ming Lan and Jiang Mingzhu managed to please her during that period, so she turned a blind eye and let it go.
Little did she know, in the end, it would result in the Jiang Family having no descendants. It was all her fault; she was blinded by ghosts.
Old Sir Jiang naturally wasn’t aware of what his spouse was thinking. After sitting for a while and noticing the wind picking up, he helped her up and they went home together.
Perhaps due to seeing Luo Weiwei, Old Madam Jiang felt an increasing longing for Jiang Mingzhu after returning home.
Even though Jiang Mingzhu did wrong and was punished, she was still her only granddaughter. Could she really let go just like that?
So, Old Madam Jiang held Old Sir Jiang’s hand and said, "Old man, Mingzhu has been locked up for so long; she’s learned her lesson. Can you try to find someone to get her out?"
Hearing this, Old Sir Jiang frowned. He had long been disappointed in Jiang Mingzhu. Furthermore, they had already severed ties with her, so trying to get her out didn’t seem appropriate.
Moreover, even if they did get her out, Jiang Mingzhu might not be grateful. He knew her personality; she would only blame him for not getting her out sooner rather than be thankful.
"What’s wrong? Old man, are you worried about losing face?" Old Madam Jiang noticed her husband’s hesitation and couldn’t help but ask.
She knew this would be difficult, but she missed her granddaughter. What could she do?
"My dear, it’s not a matter of difficulty. Have you forgotten? We already severed ties with that miscreant." Old Sir Jiang said with a face full of difficulty; if they begged for help after severing ties, they would become a laughing stock.
Hearing this, Old Madam Jiang’s expression shifted, and she sighed. How could she forget this? If they really asked for help to get Jiang Mingzhu out, the Jiang Family would lose face again.
Understanding this, Old Madam Jiang couldn’t help but feel discouraged and lowered her head. But soon she raised her head again and said, "Old man, if Mingzhu’s situation is hopeless, then let’s go find Jiang Xue."
"What did you say?" Old Sir Jiang widened his eyes, looking at Old Madam Jiang. He couldn’t understand why she suddenly thought of Jiang Xue. Initially, they thought Jiang Xue was Jiang Yun’s child, but later confirmed she wasn’t.
Given this, what reason did they have to find her again?
Besides, Jiang Xue wasn’t someone easy to talk to. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have rashly found Cheng Li as a substitute previously.
Only later, when they discovered Cheng Li was a fraud and tried to find Jiang Yun’s child again, there were no clues left.
Someone must have intervened, clearly not wanting them to find that child.
Thinking back, it was also his fault; he was too eager at first and didn’t investigate properly, or they wouldn’t have ended up in this situation.
Talking about Jiang Xue, he suddenly thought of her bracelet, and a thought came to his mind again. He figured, even if Jiang Xue wasn’t a Jiang Family child, there must be some connection.
Otherwise, why would she be wearing that bracelet, which was part of Shangguan You’s dowry?
