After the eldest sister-in-law of a fishing family became a widow, her disabled younger brother-in-l

Chapter 75 I Will Marry You

Hearing Jiang Huanxi's words, Jiang Yuyue smiled, feeling somewhat gratified.

My younger brother has finally grown up.

However, she herself did not know who had wiped out the entire Jiang family, so how could she tell her younger brother? Telling him would only make him more worried and anxious.

“Axi, it’s not that I’m trying to hide it from you, it’s just that I can’t explain this to you right now. You just need to know that I will not harm our parents or you. If you trust me, just do as I say.”

Although she still wanted to ask more questions, Jiang Huanxi felt a chill when she saw her sister being so serious, and then sighed.

“Sister, since this matter is so dangerous, how can I leave you alone in the Xie family? Since you have asked Father and Mother to hide, why don’t we all live in anonymity together? Besides, the Xie family is a den of wolves and tigers. You have to deal with other things by yourself. How can I be at ease?”

"You don't need to worry about me."

Jiang Yuyue smiled and said, "I am pregnant now, how can I withstand the bumps and jolts of a carriage? Besides, someone has to come up with a solution. Hiding is just a temporary measure. Our Jiang family has never committed murder or arson, so why should we live a life of hiding forever?"

Jiang Huanxi was indignant and almost blurted out that it was better not to have the Xie family's child, but she swallowed the words in the end.

"OK then."

Although somewhat reluctant, Jiang Huanxi agreed, "But I have to wait until I've settled everything here before I leave."

Seeing that she had finally persuaded Jiang Huanxi, Jiang Yuyue breathed a sigh of relief.

Actually, Ah Xi's suggestion of the whole family hiding away wasn't entirely wrong. The Jiang family had plenty of money, and finding a secluded place would indeed allow them to live out their remaining years in peace. However, that would be too stifling, and Jiang Yuyue was determined to avenge the grudge from her previous life no matter what.

Xie Yunqi has now successfully ascended to the throne of the imperial son-in-law. According to the trajectory of the previous life, the Jiang family will be wiped out in three months.

Although she wanted revenge, she also needed to ensure the safety of her family. So she made two preparations: she had Ah Xi and her parents hide, while Jiang Yuyue herself stayed at the Xie family to continue investigating the family's affairs.

After Jiang Yuyue and Jiang Huanxi left the teahouse, only Pei Jingchuan and Xie Jinglan remained at the table.

The two were not familiar with each other, so the situation was inevitably a bit awkward. As if to break the subtle atmosphere, Pei Jingchuan picked up the jar and poured Xie Jinglan a bowl of wine.

"Brother Xie...? Right?"

Pei Jingchuan scrutinized Xie Jinglan's face. Even here, he hadn't taken off his mask, a move that truly bothered Pei Jingchuan.

"There is no one else here now, so why is Brother Xie still reluctant to take off his mask? Is it because you are unwilling to let me see your true face?"

Faced with Pei Jingchuan's question, Xie Jinglan was too lazy to answer, and simply picked up the bowl and drank the wine in one gulp.

The reason Xie Jinglan didn't remove his mask was quite simple: he had met Pei Jingchuan once before at the palace banquet.

Although he was not familiar with Pei Jingchuan and had only met him once, Xie Jinglan would not take such a risk. If he were recognized, his long-planned scheme would be ruined.

Seeing that Xie Jinglan ignored his question, Pei Jingchuan ended up making a fool of himself and could easily sense Xie Jinglan's unwarranted hostility towards him.

But this is the first time they've met. Pei Jingchuan has never done anything disrespectful to him. If there is any conflict of interest between them, could it be because of... Yue'er?

But shouldn't Xie Jinglan be Yue'er's brother-in-law? Could it be that he also... has feelings for Yue'er?

Such a chilling conjecture surfaced in Pei Jingchuan's mind, and he was somewhat shocked, but he couldn't think of any other reason.

Pei Jingchuan wanted to ask, but when the words were on the tip of his tongue, he realized he had no right to question her. If Xie Jinglan, a member of the Xie family, found out that he had feelings for Yue'er, it would probably cause her trouble.

After much deliberation, Pei Jingchuan still didn't say anything. But with the words stuck in his throat and nowhere to vent, he could only drink bowl after bowl of wine until the wine jar was empty.

When Jiang Yuyue and Jiang Huanxi returned after their conversation, they saw Pei Jingchuan slumped on the table.

"Brother Pei, Brother Pei?"

Jiang Huanxi stepped forward and shook him a few times, "Are you alright?"

Pei Jingchuan then managed to sit up straight. His face was flushed, and his expression had become somewhat dazed. He was still tightly gripping the wine bowl he had just drunk, looking completely drunk and unconscious.

Jiang Yuyue saw this and knew something was wrong. She glanced at the wine jar on the table and saw that it was indeed empty.

Pei Jingchuan has always had a terrible alcohol tolerance, something Jiang Yuyue remembers very clearly. Once when they were children, they secretly drank some wine from home together, and after only half a bowl, Pei Jingchuan was so drunk that he slept for a whole day and night.

Seeing this, Jiang Yuyue quickly said, "General Pei is drunk, Axi, please take him back."

Upon hearing Jiang Yuyue's voice, the drunken Pei Jingchuan stared intently at her, swaying as he stood up, muttering, "Yue... Yue'er..."

Seeing Pei Jingchuan's appearance, Jiang Huanxi knew he was truly drunk. Xie Jinglan was still here; if he blurted out something inappropriate while drunk, wouldn't that give the Xie family something to gossip about?

"The moon is so round tonight!"

Jiang Huanxi quickly took over, helping Pei Jingchuan up and heading out, "Brother Pei is drunk and can't speak clearly, let's go home for now..."

"Who said I'm drunk!?"

Pei Jingchuan struggled free, and being drunk, he was less composed than usual, but his eyes remained fixed on Jiang Yuyue.

"Moon... I know that the Xie family... is not a good place. I regretted it so much when my parents called me back to the capital..."

"But, but as long as you tell me you're unhappy now, as long as you... don't despise me, my heart will still be the same as before, and I'm willing to marry you!"

He concluded with a resounding statement.

Jiang Huanxi was startled and quickly looked at Xie Jinglan opposite her, but he was wearing a mask and it was impossible to tell his emotions.

His sister has spent so much time and money on him, and this kid is almost dead. She shouldn't be a gossip and spill the beans to the Xie family, right?

"So what if you have a child?"

Pei Jingchuan had kept these words in his heart for far too long, and today he simply had to get them out. "As long as you're willing to marry me, I will treat this child as my own and will certainly not mistreat you. As long as you're willing..."
