The next morning, Wang Yongzhu only heard from Song Chongjin about Jian Huaifeng’s tragic life and couldn’t help but sigh.

A character like a gentle breeze and bright moon, because he met such a Little Ren, his entire life was ruined. 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

Fortunately, now, he can finally avenge his great grievance, otherwise, he might have lived his whole life in frustration, unable to die at peace.

It shows that no matter what Jian Huaifeng has gone through, he still maintained his integrity and morals, which is commendable.

Said a word to Song Chongjin: "If that’s the case, Prefect Yu cannot be spared easily. Such shameless and sinister people remaining in the world are a scourge!"

Song Chongjin naturally knew, he had sent letters to the Capital City not just with various evidence of how Prefect Yu exploited the citizens, but also solid proof of his collusion with the Second Prince.

With this, Prefect Yu’s entire family will not escape!

It was Jian Huaifeng, after waking up from drunkenness, he knew that even though he used drunkenness as a pretext, he was sober when saying those words.

This was his complete demonstration of stance, showcasing his most embarrassing past to Song Chongjin, relying on Song Chongjin for revenge, from now on, his life belongs to Song Chongjin.

Even so, after waking up, he still felt a bit uneasy, especially when seeing Song Chongjin.

Song Chongjin, however, was no different from usual, as if he hadn’t heard anything last night, treating him as before.

Only then did Jian Huaifeng slowly calm down.

After observing for a few more days, when he met Wang Yongzhu and Old Granny Zhang, they were consistent like before, only then did he completely relax.

His heart grew even more grateful.

Two months later, news came from the Capital City, Prefect Yu’s family, because the evidence was damning, and was deeply colluded with the Second Prince, providing many conveniences for the Second Prince’s rebellion, and letters were found in his home exchanged with the Second Prince, now he couldn’t deny even if he wanted to.

If it were someone else, perhaps someone else might secretly offer some help, but Madam Yu’s family had already fallen, without Jian Huaifeng’s assistance, he hadn’t gained much popularity over the years.

As soon as his incident was heard, it was like the wall had fallen and everyone pushed, only further stepping on his family to death, no one said a good word for them.

Now the Court of Judicial Review had investigated everything, presented memos, reportedly already sentenced to execution after autumn.

The Yu Family also had a mess of things investigated, just the backyard, Prefect Yu’s Madam poisoned and killed her in-laws, and secretly eliminated several of Prefect Yu’s illegitimate children, was also exposed.

Such a ruthless woman was also sentenced to death.

As for others in the Yu Family, it was said they were to be exiled to the border here. It was said that Prefect Yu, upon knowing this news in prison, only murmured a few words, karma, and overnight his hair turned white, now he’s barely hanging on.

Upon hearing this news, Jian Huaifeng finally revealed a relieved smile.

Less than a month later, he thickly-skinnedly pleaded with Wang Yongzhu to help find an honest and decent wife, older is fine, as long as the person is honest.

He spoke plainly, now that he has avenged his great grievance, there are not many years left to live.

Before, he simply had no mind for it, and he feared his children would not be safe.

Now without these concerns, after all, it’s good to continue the Jian Family’s lineage.

Have a son or daughter, raise them well, perhaps they can fulfill what their father didn’t complete.

Wang Yongzhu was speechless, but on second thought, this was common in society.

Jian Huaifeng now can’t be considered very old, marrying now, having children is indeed timely.

Moreover, his conditions are not bad, previously with Lady Bai that goes unsaid, marrying now is a legitimate marriage, it’s likely not lacking those willing.

Had to agree, just said to spread the word and look, final decision still rests with Jian Huaifeng.

Jian Huaifeng was pleased seeing Wang Yongzhu agreed, and left gleefully, leaving Wang Yongzhu feeling a headache.

This kind of thing, she really has no experience and cannot do.

After thinking, this matter had to be sought through Old Granny Zhang, who is experienced.

Sure enough, just mentioning it to Old Granny Zhang made her sneer and patted Wang Yongzhu: "Silly girl, can’t you see? The Master Jian isn’t sincere about this—"

Wang Yongzhu blinked: "Mother means, Master Jian already has someone in mind? Someone by my side?"

While speaking, she mentally went through those by her side, Gu Yu? Bah! She’s still a young girl! If the Master Jian really fancied her, Wang Yongzhu felt she’d unleash all energies to smash the Master Jian’s head!

Shameless! So old, yet thinking of eating younger grass?

Li Xia? Speaking of which Li Xia is over twenty, in this era considered an older unmarried woman. Being by Wang Yongzhu’s side, no one dares say anything.

Wang Yongzhu had once asked her, if she wanted to marry, then a junior officer in the military, or a minor official previously in County Yamen, or Song Chongjin’s employed guards, as long as she fancied any, she need only speak.

But Li Xia had never shown this intent, only saying she’d rather serve a few more years first.

Among the leftover maids, keeing secluded over the years, they mostly got married or returned home.

Only among some widowed women, there still were several, although Wang Yongzhu believed in no hierarchy in people, but could Master Jian truly fancy a coarse widow? That’d be too much!

Most importantly, he also wants to continue the Jian Family’s lineage, marrying a widow, and they might not be able to conceive due to age!

So, is it Gu Yu? Or Li Xia?

Old Granny Zhang saw her daughter’s utterly confused look and couldn’t help but laugh.

Her daughter, outside, in business matters, is very shrewd, but in these small personal matters, she’s just always a bit clueless.

Appreciated this rare silly look in her daughter, before slowly explaining to Wang Yongzhu.

"Silly girl, you only thought Master Jian asked you to find a continuation wife, is to look outside. Why don’t you think, if Master Jian truly wanted to search outside, he wouldn’t find someone in Chicheng City over the years? As soon as any word is revealed, how many families wanting to climb the ranks would bring their young daughters over, let alone marrying, even to be a maid they’d be willing!"

"What honest and decent, they are all just excuses from men! If genuinely seeking such, just go to the countryside, any maid you find will be honest and decent? Perhaps the Master Jian just wants to be closer to you as in-law and daughter! This his attitude he shows! The marriage is yours to decide, in future your whole family will be attached to yours! Don’t you understand?"

Only then did Wang Yongzhu realize.

Previously she hadn’t truly thought in this direction, truly believing it was inconvenient for Jian Huaifeng to handle personally!

Indeed, in interpersonal matters, she was too naive!
