Exile with Storage Space: Family Fortunes in the Barren Lands-Chapter 766 - 0719: Utilization (2)

Xue Family secretly rejoiced, pretending to have a stomach ache, and followed the old woman to the lavatory.

After entering the lavatory, she soon claimed she forgot her menstrual cloth and begged the old woman to fetch her one.

No matter how it was, this woman came looking for the Second Young Master, the old woman feared truly offending her would lead to trouble, "You wait here, I will go get it."

"Thank you, Mama," Xue Family smiled ingratiatingly.

As soon as the old woman’s footsteps grew distant, Xue Family ran out of the lavatory, heading elsewhere within the mansion.

Before marrying Li Xingmao, she had visited the Yu Wen Family for banquets, and her visits were numerous.

The routes within the mansion were extremely familiar to her.

Wherever she met people, Xue Family inquired about Yu Wen Zan’s whereabouts. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

The people in the mansion assumed she was a relative of a guest here to offer condolences, and did not hide anything from her.

Xue Family, guided by a servant, headed toward the hall where Yu Wen Zan and the Jiang siblings were talking.

Jiang Suyun returned to the hall from earlier, she commanded her maid to guard outside, and entered the hall alone.

Yu Wen Zan and Jiang Suyun’s elder brother had finished talking and were heading towards the hallway door.

"Brother Zan, I have something to speak with you alone," Jiang Suyun sweetly smiled at Yu Wen Zan.

Jiang Dalang laughed heartily, "The door isn’t even closed yet, and I already feel like the third wheel?"

Jiang Suyun blushed, "Brother, we’re talking about serious matters, what are you thinking?"

"Alright, alright, you two talk about your serious matters, anyway, they have nothing to do with me," Jiang Dalang laughed, waved his hand, and left alone.

Jiang Suyun coquettishly looked at her elder brother.

"What is it, Suyun?" Yu Wen Zan gently held Jiang Suyun’s small hand and asked warmly.

Jiang Suyun pulled back her hand, sat on a chair, and said coolly, "Who is that Miss Xue? The way she spoke seemed quite familiar with Brother Zan. Moreover, when I mentioned I was Brother Zan’s fiancée, the look in her eyes was so strange as if wanting to kill me."

She raised her head, leisurely watching Yu Wen Zan.

She knew well that Yu Wen Zan feared her.

Because her father is the Imperial Tutor serving close to the Emperor.

Although her father holds no actual power, he is the most valued by the Emperor.

Her father was the Emperor’s early teacher, and regarding the appointments and dismissals of ministers in the court, her father’s opinion holds significant weight.

Yu Wen Zan aspires to become Prime Minister and dares not offend her family in any way.

Just as Jiang Suyun thought, Yu Wen Zan was indeed afraid of Jiang Suyun getting upset.

When she mentioned Xue Family with a stern face, Yu Wen Zan’s heart panicked.

He knelt in front of Jiang Suyun, held her hand in a fawning manner, and said, "She is the wife of the Heir of Prince Luling, Li Xingmao, the daughter of Duke An, Xue Wenzhen. Two years ago, she separated from Li Xingmao and insisted on wanting me. But I am a man who plans to marry, how could I want a woman who has had children and was abandoned by a man? She’s just shamelessly come here."

Jiang Suyun raised her eyebrows lightly, "Is that so?"

"Yun Niang, I haven’t hidden anything from you, it’s true. She is over twenty, with old skin and bones, how could I want her? Of course, I want you," Yu Wen Zan rubbed Jiang Suyun’s small hand, sliding from her hand up her sleeve to her arm, until he reached under her arm to the soft spot.

With varying pressure.

Jiang Suyun’s face instantly blushed, her body froze and dared not move, feeling as if she was being roasted by fire.

Yu Wen Zan was a seasoned expert in the field of love, skillful in coaxing women.

Jiang Suyun was ten years younger than Yu Wen Zan, and before her engagement with Yu Wen Zan, she hadn’t conversed closely with unfamiliar men, how could she handle Yu Wen Zan’s experienced teasing?

In a few moves, her defenses crumbled, and her heart softened.

However, being a well-educated lady, after calming her mind, she removed Yu Wen Zan’s hand from her clothes.

Jiang Suyun straightened her attire, lightly coughed, and looked at Yu Wen Zan, "But now that she’s here, how will you dismiss her?"

Yu Wen Zan pondered briefly, smiled, and said, "This is simple, just warn her that although she separated from the Heir of Prince Luling, the Emperor does not know of their separation. If her identity is revealed and her leaving Zhen An Prefecture without permission is exposed, it would certainly be a capital offense, and she would naturally be frightened away, not daring to show herself again."

Jiang Suyun smiled faintly, "I understand now."

Outside the window, Xue Family saw the intimate appearance of the two inside, and a rage surged in her heart, rushing straight to her forehead.

Yu Wen Zan, this liar!

How could he treat her this way?

Due to her excitement, Xue Family broke a twig underfoot.

Yu Wen Zan heard the sound, looked up, and saw Xue Family’s angry eyes outside the window.

Jiang Suyun, sitting with her back to the window, didn’t see Xue Family.

Yu Wen Zan stood, embraced Jiang Suyun, and gently said, "Yun Niang, these days, it has been hard on you."

As he spoke, he pointed at Jiang Suyun while looking at Xue Family, with a helpless and conflicted expression.

Xue Family was stunned, did Yu Wen Zan’s expression mean he had his hardships?

Yu Wen Zan looked at Xue Family and pointed in a direction.

Xue Family blinked, glanced at Jiang Suyun, and quietly left.

The direction Yu Wen Zan pointed was towards his residence.

Was this an invitation to meet there?

Xue Family suppressed her excitement and headed towards Yu Wen Zan’s living quarters.

How could Jiang Suyun withstand Yu Wen Zan’s coaxing?

In a few words, her heart softened.

She bashfully said, "Since we are engaged, your matters are my matters, Brother Zan, don’t mention hardship like it’s something foreign."

Yu Wen Zan smiled, "Yun Niang is absolutely right, between us, there is no need to differentiate, no need for politeness."

After appeasing Jiang Suyun, Yu Wen Zan made an excuse to visit the male guests on the other side of the residence, hoping Jiang Suyun would graciously handle the female guests.

Jiang Suyun gladly agreed.

In fact, even before Yu Wen Zan mentioned it, an elder servant woman had already been urging Jiang Suyun, saying several ladies with female relatives had arrived, and since they were all prominent guests, they’d hoped Jiang Suyun would personally greet them.

Jiang Suyun urged Yu Wen Zan to hurry with his own matters, and she left the hall to meet with the housekeeper.

Yu Wen Zan’s mother was not in good health and couldn’t take on too much work, so Jiang Suyun, as the future daughter-in-law, managed the household proficiently, gaining admiration from the housemaids for her competence.

Praise for Jiang Suyun grew, boosting her pride and confidence.

Yu Wen Zan left the hall and went to his living quarters.

While he was busy with miscellaneous tasks in the mansion, naturally, his courtyard was quiet.

Xue Family stood behind a tree in front of the courtyard and, seeing him hastening there, immediately stepped out from behind the tree.

"Zanlang."

"Lower your voice."

Yu Wen Zan looked around and pulled her into the courtyard.

The young servant guarding the courtyard saw Yu Wen Zan bringing a strange woman in and was momentarily taken aback.

Yu Wen Zan said, "This is a guest of the residence, I have important matters to discuss with her, it must not be spread outside."

The young servant understood, "Yes, Second Young Master."

Yu Wen Zan led Xue Family to the back room in his living quarters.
