Knowing Jia Huan's purpose, Shi Zeyu joined his operation and was about to help Jia Huan find out the news.

The two people gathered the inquiring information, peeled off the cocoons, and came to the conclusion: The Chu family was indeed responsible for what happened to Jia Lang and Jia Jingyi. It was not Chu Wenyao, but Chu Wenyao's wife Yang.

This Yang family is the concubine of the third-rank Beijing official and general affairs secretary.

At first, the general envoy was optimistic about Chu Wenyao's talents, so he used a concubine to win over Chu Wenyao.

And Chu Wenyao really married a concubine just for the little power of his Yue family.

But this Yang family is not simple.

There are many women and daughters in the backyard of the general affairs envoy. Among them, the Yang family can live a good life until they get married, not to mention their means and character.

Even marrying Chu Wenyao was her own plan.

After all, although Chu Wenyao is married and has children, he is still young and promising, much better than those old widowers in their thirties and forties.

If the general envoy wants to win over people, he doesn't mind marrying a young and beautiful concubine to an old widower.

Yang had the means and backing. After marrying into the Chu family, she took control of the Chu family and cultivated several confidants who could help her do some dirty things.

Ten years ago, Ms. Yang gave birth to a daughter. However, due to a difficult delivery, her body was destroyed. It would be difficult to conceive and give birth in the future. She would only have one daughter in her life.

She also took control of Chu Wenyao's backyard, forbidding Chu Wenyao from having concubines, let alone having an outside room.

Chu Wenyao saw that he had already passed his thirties but only had one daughter. How could he sit still?

How can a daughter pass on the incense to the Chu family?

You must have a son.

But Yang didn't allow him to touch other women.

Fortunately, he also has a son.

Chu Wenyao then thought of bringing Jia Jingyi back to him.

He sent his men back to his hometown to find out about his son, and found that his son was so upbeat that he had already passed the imperial examination at a young age and was about to go to Beijing to take the national examination.

With his knowledge, it is very likely that his son will pass the Jinshi examination.

What father wouldn’t want such an outstanding son?

Chu Wenyao decided to wait until Jia Jingyi came to the capital to recognize his son.

He believed that his son would recognize him as his father.

He is now a sixth-grade imperial official, so he can help his son.

Unless the son is stupid, he will not recognize him as his father.

His plan was clear, but Yang didn't let him get his way.

Ms. Yang would rather the Chu family's property be ruined than give it to her husband's other children except her daughter.

The better Jia Jingyi was, the less Yang wanted to see him.

After learning that Chu Wenyao had obtained Yang's father's consent to take Jia Jingyi back to the Chu family and put it in her name, Yang became murderous towards Jia Jingyi.

She didn't care about her father's persuasion that having a talented son would be a help, she just wanted Jia Jingyi dead.

Yang sent his confidants to hook up with the water bandits and let the water bandits attack Jia Jingyi and Jia Lang's boats on the road, taking the opportunity to kill Jia Jingyi.

Jia Lang was implicated. He was the only one on the whole boat. Jia Jingyi fell into the water and was missing.

"I didn't expect Yang's daughter to be so vicious." Shi Zeyu was furious.

This woman not only stole her mother-in-law's husband, but also killed her two brothers-in-law.

If Yang was a member of the Jianghu, he would definitely pick up his sword and chop people down.

It's a pity that this person is an official's wife, so I can't take action against her in private.

There is a clear boundary between the Jianghu and the imperial court, and neither side can cross it.

"Well, I won't let her have an easy time. I must avenge her two brothers." Jia Huan's eyes flashed with a cold light.

Yang's cruelty is something that even a salty fish like him can't stand, so Yang must be punished.

If the Yang family hadn't harmed Jia Lang and Jia Jingyi, Jia Huan would still be a salted fish waiting to die at home. How could he be like now, having to make progress for the sake of the elders in the family?

"But what are we going to do?" Shi Zeyu couldn't think of a way to deal with Yang.

Jia Huan snorted: "Ms. Yang only relies on the power of her natal family. When her natal family falls, who else can she rely on? On Chu Wenyao? Chu Wenyao can even abandon his wife who is a loser for the sake of his future, let alone this one.

The Yang family is oppressing him and domineering him!"

Shi Zeyu asked Jia Huan: "The Yang family is the home of a third-rank imperial official. What can we do to bring down the Yang family?"

Jia Huan: "Don't worry about this matter. I'll wait until I pass the imperial examination and the imperial examination before I take action against the Yang family. Brother-in-law, during these days, you should continue to socialize with people from all walks of life and learn more about the Yang family from them."

matter."

Shi Zeyu nodded in agreement: "Okay."

After the two of them discussed it, Shi Zeyu went to hang out with people from all walks of life every day.

But Jia Huan still didn't study, and went out early and came back late every day.

Shi Zeyu didn't know what he was doing this time, until one day, Jia Huan brought someone back.

A young man who looks a lot like Jia Huan.

But she is very similar to his wife Jia Yurou.

A guess emerged in Shi Zeyu's mind.

"Huan'er, this is..."

Shi Zeyu stared at the young man.

Jia Huan smiled and said: "Brother-in-law, as you guessed, this is my second brother, he is not dead."

He turned to the young man and said: "Second brother, this is the second brother-in-law, the husband-in-law of sister Yurou, his name is Shi Zeyu."

The young man, Jia Jingyi, who survived the disaster, said: "I remember that the man who was engaged to Yurou was named Chen."

Jia Huan snorted and said: "The family heard that something happened between you and your eldest brother. They thought our family had no future, so they broke off the engagement. Fortunately, they broke off the engagement, so sister Yurou could meet such a good person as her brother-in-law.

"

Jia Jingyi snorted coldly when he heard this, but showed a soft expression to Shi Zeyu: "You are very good."

Shi Zeyu smiled at Jia Jingyi, then looked at Jia Huan with doubts on his face, and the questions in his eyes almost overflowed.

Jia Huan said to the two of them: "Sit down and talk."

Shi Zeyu immediately moved a bamboo stool, and the three of them sat down in the yard.

The two helpers they hired usually came in the morning to help with cooking, washing, and tidying up the house. They would go back to their homes after noon.

Therefore, there are only three members of the Jia family in the small courtyard now.

Jia Huan said: "These days, I have been investigating Chu Wenyao's private property. Then, I found that he had a small village outside the city, which Yang didn't know about. I went to Zhuangzi and found the second brother. It's just that

The second brother has amnesia."

Jia Jingyi nodded: "I recovered my memory only after meeting my younger brother. Before that, I always thought that I was Chu Wenyao's illegitimate son."

There was a trace of disgust on Jia Jingyi's face, which was his disgust for the identity of "illegitimate son".

He is obviously the legitimate son of Chu Wenyao's original wife, but now he is called the illegitimate son of an outlaw. How can he not be angry or disgusted.

This disgust is for Chu Wenyao.
