Chapter 378 Who Murdered the Kids of the Jiang Family?

When Qiu Yelan kept asking her husband about the thing, in the third branch, Madame Shi just asked her maids to get out. She asked He Shuijin wonderingly, “Why are you so serious?”

“My sixth sister-in-law, I have a thing to ask you, which concerns the future of our branch. Please tell me the truth!” He Shuijin was always diplomatic with a ready smile. At this moment she was serious without an expression. What she asked made Madame Shi get nervous. “What happened? Please tell me.”

Though at this moment there were only the two in the room, He Shuijin asked in a low voice, “Princess of Wei is slandered. Who did it? Do you have any idea?”

Madame Shi glazed over and then she became unhappy, “She is the cousin of Qiu Yelan. Does it have anything to do with me? She is in trouble, but why do you ask me?”

Originally, Madame Shi was jealous that He Shuijin bypassed her to take over the business of the family. Hearing what she said, she got a little angry. The words she said were unpleasant. “I know you are close to the fourth branch. But you belong to the third branch. Now even Qiu Yelan doesn’t come here. Are you hurried to question me for her?”

He Shuijin frowned, “What are you thinking of? If I don’t consider our branch, I won’t come here to talk with you as I have so many things to deal with. There are no others. I ask you directly. Princess of Wei gets in trouble. Is there anyone else to be suspicious except you?”

“What are you talking about?” Madame Shi just now was unhappy, but at this moment she was really angry, “There are so many people who want to have a marriage with the imperial household. Why is only my sister excluded? Why are you asking me?” Her face darkened, “Oh! I get it. Is it because of what my husband has done?”

“The first reason is because of my sixth brother.” He Shuijin said peacefully, “The second reason is that the guys who dare to offend people in the Jiang Family are only people in the Jiang Family.”

Madame Shi changed her face. After all, she had been the oldest legal daughter-in-law of the third branch for so many years. She was not a fool. She understood what He Shuijin said. She softened her tone a little, “My parents’ family and I have nothing to do with it!”

Seeing that He Shuijin seemed not to trust her, she explained, “We are not foolish. I heard that Jiang Yashuang even wanted to kill the first branch and us because of Jiang Qizheng. And I heard that the gifts you gave them last time were all rejected. At this juncture, to slander those who are connected with him, is this ready to give him a chance to vent his anger?”

And then she added, “Qiu Yelan is also pregnant. Given the talents of her brother and her husband, if she is carrying a boy, grandfather will take the baby as a treasure. Though I hate Madame Wang, I am not an idiot. Why do I provoke her now?”

He Shuijin frowned, “The plan to slander Princess of Wei is so clumsy. Not to mention Jiang Yashuang, no matter who is asked about the thing, he will know this thing is groundless.”

Madame Shi breathed a sigh of relief, “So we have nothing to do with it. I don’t want to brag. If I had to humiliate Madame Wang, it would be easy for me to ruin her reputation just like raising my hand as she just depends on the Lian Family, which is in such a low position. Why would I leave so many flaws?”

“It may be on purpose so that it is easy to be clear of a charge.” He Shuijin looked at her, “I don’t want to cover up, my sixth sister-in-law. Qiu Yelan was unpleasant with you because of the matter about Princess of Wei before and that you resented as you failed to intercede with her.”

“It is not us!” Madame Shi gritted her teeth. But she had to explain because of the situation, “I have to say honestly. Though my parents hope to have a princess in our family, they value more on Jiang Yadan’s remarriage. They haven’t settled down his second wife yet. Though I resent her, I won’t do anything. Otherwise, I will become the stumbling block of his marriage with my sister.”

He Shuijin said calmly, “Do you forget what happened to Jiang Qizheng? Do you still expect that Jiang Yadan will marry your sister? I want to say something which may offend you. If he married her, I’m afraid she would have a worse end than Madame Tao Junior, the one who died.”

The most valuable morality Jiang Yadan had was that he treated his brothers and sisters in his branch well.

Especially, Jiang Qizheng and Jiang Yashuang were also born by his mother. Jiang Qizheng was in trouble. If the daughter of the Shi Family could marry him, He Shuijin would not be surprised if the bride was beaten to death on the day of their marriage.

Madame Shi scowled, “Are you interrogating me for the fourth branch?”

“I am telling you to prepare early!” He Shuijin took over the business of the family by bypassing the two sisters-in-law’s power and so she was envied and excluded. She was tolerant of them. But after she lost her kids, a load was on her mind and so she was tired of being thoughtful. She respected them in front of them while behind their backs she was insipid. And she would not stand on ceremony if she had to be strict.

At this moment, she said unceremoniously, “You know the consequence to the third branch if you involve yourself in. You should be aware that the fourth branch won’t give up the chance to
