Yi Tian brought back a woman for Jiang Yi.
It was a woman with a delicate face and a red beauty mole between her eyebrows.
She was a timid woman who would occasionally look up shyly and peek at Jiang Yi.
A woman who would blush slightly from shyness when Jiang Yi looked back at her.
"Uncle Tian, what do you mean by this?”
Jiang Yi's tone turned cold. He had never seen such a woman in the Jiang Manor and thought that Yi Tian had forcefully snatched a commoner's daughter behind his back to give her to him.
Sensing that Jiang Yi's tone had turned cold, Yi Tian knew that Jiang Yi had probably misunderstood, so he quickly explained," Young Master, I didn't snatch Miss Wu over. She was sent over by her parents. She has been here for a month. Moreover, she has an engagement with you. Young Master, don't you remember?”
Yi Tian's words were like a key that unlocked Jiang Yi's memories. Soon, a strange and familiar face appeared in Jiang Yi's mind.
"Are you Wu Dan?"
Jiang Yi asked with uncertainty. In his memory, he had indeed been engaged to a girl named Wu Dan. The Jiang and Wu families were family friends, and the Jiang family was a wealthy family in Chongwen Town. The Wu family was also a scholarly family in Teng Town. They were considered to be of equal status, so when Jiang Yi and Wu Dan were very young, they had already set up an engagement.
Originally, Jiang Yi and Wu Dan were going to get married two years ago to celebrate the wedding for Father Jiang, who had become somewhat weak at that time. However, Father Jiang did not wait for that day and passed away a few days before the wedding. Mother Jiang passed away immediately after.
Jiang Yi was a filial son and decided to mourn for his parents for three years. The original wedding was also put on hold.
"Little Dan, why are you here?”Jiang Yi was very curious. Logically speaking, there should still be a year left until the three-year deadline. Why did Wu Dan rush over to the Jiang Clan in such a hurry?
One had to know that the original Wu Dan was still very supportive of Jiang Yi's approach.
But what Jiang Yi did not expect was that it would have been fine if he did not ask. The moment he asked, tears began to appear in Wu Dan's eyes. Even when he spoke, he began to cry.
"Brother Yi, I asked my parents to send me here.”Wu Dan sobbed and said,"If I didn't come over, I might not be able to see you next time.”
As she spoke, Wu Dan threw herself into Jiang Yi's arms and started crying, as if she was going to cry out all the grievances she had suffered recently.
Looking at Wu Dan in front of him, Jiang Yi also began to become at a loss. Although he could treat his enemies coldly, even cruelly, and destroy whoever he wanted, he really did not know how to comfort his fiancée who was already crying like a tearful person.
In the end, Jiang Yi could only gently stroke Wu Dan's back and softly said,"It's okay, it's okay. Now that you're on my side, you won't suffer anymore.”
After a long time, seeing Wu Dan's crying gradually, Jiang Yi asked,""Can you tell me what happened?”
At this moment, Wu Dan told her the reason why she left Teng Teng Town and came to Chong Wen Town to look for Jiang Yi.
It turned out that more than a month ago, Wu Dan felt bored staying at home. When she went out to buy things, she was taken in by Marshal Xu of Teng Teng Town and wanted to marry her as his fourth wife.
However, Wu Dan, who had already been engaged, naturally refused righteously. However, she did not expect Marshal Xu to still chase after her and find Wu Dan's parents.
Marshal Xu wanted to use his parents 'orders to suppress Wu Dan, but he did not expect the Wu family to be a scholarly family. Father Wu naturally had some backbone of a scholar, so he was naturally unwilling to marry Wu Dan, who had already been engaged, to Marshal Xu.
This made Marshal Xu furious. After all, Teng Teng Town was his territory. He had never failed to find a woman here. Wu Dan was no exception. Otherwise, how could he govern Teng Teng Town and the entire Fukang County?
Soon, Marshal Xu's revenge came.
The first to suffer was the Wu family's property in Teng Teng Town.
The Wu family was a scholarly family in Teng Teng Town. Although their family background was not very rich, they still had some businesses. However, during this period of time, soldiers came to the Xu family's shop every day to cause trouble, causing the entire Xu family's business to be cut off. Moreover, the shopkeepers who had good cooperation with the Wu family also refused to cooperate with the Wu family. They had no way to make a living and could only rely on their previous savings to survive.
Then, every night, soldiers would run to the Xu family's vicinity to practice and shoot. Wu Tan's parents were a little mentally unstable, afraid that a team of soldiers would rush in with guns one night.
At the same time, the servants of the Wu family would go out every day and pick up an envelope filled with bullets at the door of the Wu family to intimidate the entire Wu family.
In the end, under the double destruction of both material and spiritual, Father Wu could not hold on any longer and agreed to marry Wu Dan to Marshal Xu.
However, there was a condition that he had to wait for three days before he could pass through the door. He had to persuade Wu Dan, and Marshal Xu agreed readily. Anyway, he could afford to wait for three days. As long as Teng Teng Town was in his hands, Wu Dan's family would not be able to escape.
As for Wu Dan's feelings, no one cared about her. After all, in this era, marriage was always decided by parents and matchmakers. As for Jiang Yi's feelings in Chongwen Town, no one cared about it. After all, one was a warlord and the other was a country squire. Father Wu knew how to choose.
However, to everyone's surprise, the situation quickly reversed. A group of unfamiliar soldiers attacked Teng Teng Town, and even the once arrogant Marshal Xu was killed by them. Teng Town had a new master called the Southern Army.
Wu Dan did not need to get married.
However, Wu Dan, who had experienced this incident, did not want to stay at home for long. She kept urging her parents to send her to the Jiang family in Chongwen Town because she did not feel safe at home.
She was afraid that if Teng Teng Town's new commander-in-chief also took a fancy to her, her parents would sell her a second time to go to Chongwen Town and Jiang Yi's side. This was her only thought.
Her parents had tried to persuade her, but they could not persuade Wu Dan. They could only send her to the Jiang family a year earlier.
After hearing the whole story, Jiang Yi was also very surprised. He didn't expect that his plan to attack Teng Teng Town not only killed Marshal Xu, but also unintentionally saved his fiancée. No, now it should be said that he was his fiancée.
Without Jiang Yi's interference, Wu Dan would have ended up as Marshal Xu's fourth concubine, and then be possessed by an evil spirit to become the mother of the Demon Fetus. In the end, when she gave birth, she would become a dead soul under Master Qing Hai's sword.
It could only be said that everything was fate.
Thinking of this, Jiang Yi pinched Wu Dan's chin and raised her head. He looked into her eyes and said,"Since you're here, treat this place as your home. Don't worry, I'll protect you.”
Looking at Jiang Yi's affirmative gaze, Wu Dan finally nodded firmly.
After that, Jiang Yi called Wu Dan back to his room to rest. Wu Dan blushed and softly hummed before walking out of the study.
She knew that Jiang Yitian had something to discuss, so she obediently closed the door of the study.
Seeing that Wu Dan had already left, Jiang Yi regained his original indifference and asked,"Uncle Tian, what are those small matters you mentioned?”
"It's nothing. It's just that while you were away, some of the squires in Chongwen Town weren't very honest. Some even started to go against us.”Yi Tian replied.
"Oh, really?" Jiang Yi's face did not show any joy or anger. He poured a cup of tea and drank it. Then, he asked,"Someone is going against us. Didn't those squires who have completely sided with us say anything?”
"Young Master, Old Master Bai and the others didn't come out to say anything. There are too many squires who oppose us this time. They don't dare to openly stand on our side and can only remain neutral.”Yi Tian's tone was still calm without any worry.
"Oh!" Hearing this, Jiang Yi became interested and asked,""Is it because of my policies, or is it because of something else? It actually caused such a huge public outrage that they all banded together to oppose me?”
"Young Master, it's about our land rent.”Yi Tian leaned over and said to Jiang Yi.
"So it's land rent!" Jiang Yi sighed and leaned back in his chair.
This was a big problem. No wonder the whole town's squires were united against the enemy.
