Chapter 46



46 One Wave After Another!

The person who came was the Second Master of the Jiang family, Jiang Ze’s biological father, and also Mrs. Jiang’s second brother.

As soon as he entered the door, he grabbed Mrs. Jiang’s wrist and shouted while crying.

“Sister, you have to save your nephew this time!”

Mrs. Jiang was shocked and quickly asked what was going on.

Jiang Er wiped his tears. “Yesterday, the Eagle Guards suddenly barged into our house and captured Ah Ze. They said that he was secretly spreading anti-government poetry.

I don’t believe Ah Ze would do such a thing. You watched him grow up, so you should know his personality. He’s definitely not the kind of person who doesn’t know what’s important.

However, the Eagle Guards did not listen to our explanation and insisted on condemning Ah Ze.

I really have no choice but to come to you for help.’

Mrs. Jiang was stunned.

She did not expect that as soon as her son was released by the Eagle Guards, her nephew would be locked up again.

What a wave of trouble!

Mrs. Jiang said awkwardly, “I’m just a woman. Can I interfere in the Eagle Guards’ matters?”

Jiang Er was obviously prepared and said quickly.

“I heard that Ah Sheng was released. What method did you use to make the Eagle Guards release him? Will you teach me? As long as I can save Ah Ze, I’m willing to pay any price!”

This matter concerned her nephew’s life and death, so Mrs. Jiang was very anxious.

She immediately ordered someone to call Yu Pingping over.

When Yu Pingping heard his second uncle’s intentions, she agreed without much hesitation.

“I’ll talk to my sisters about this now. It’s just a few words. I don’t think they’ll refuse.”

Jiang Er seemed to have found a straw to clutch at and begged, “Your cousin’s life is in your hands.”

Yu Pingping went to find her three little sisters with confidence.

However, after she finished asking, the smiles on Ji Wenjing, Yang Xianrong, and Wan Jiatong’s faces disappeared.

After hearing that Yu Sheng had been released, they thought that this matter was over. Unexpectedly, Jiang Ze was arrested again.

If they had known earlier, they would not have come to the Yu family as guests.

Yang Xianrong frowned and said helplessly.

“It’s not that we don’t want to help you, but we really have no choice. The Eagle Guards have never allowed anyone else to interfere in their investigations. Even if we have an elder in the court, it’s useless.”

The other two were unwilling to have anything to do with the Eagle Guards, so they hurriedly clarified.

“Yes, yes, we didn’t do anything.”

Yu Pingping did not believe them.

“If not for the help of your elders, how could my brother be released by the Eagle Guards? I know I shouldn’t keep asking you to help, but this matter concerns my cousin’s life. I had no choice but to beg you. Don’t worry, as long as my cousin is safe this time, my second uncle and I won’t mistreat you. You can get as much compensation as you want.”

She thought she had humbled herself, but in return, the three of them denied it vehemently.

Wan Jiatong was a little anxious. “Don’t talk nonsense! Didn’t you get someone to acquit your brother? What does it have to do with us?”

Yu Pingping rebuked, “At a time like this, don’t pretend. If not for your help, my brother would still be locked up in prison. I specially invited you to my house today to thank you properly.”

Ji Wenjing said in surprise, “But you said in the invitation that you would treat us to flower appreciation and tea. You didn’t mention anything about your brother.”

She really thought it was just flower appreciation and tea.

If she had known that Yu Pingping had other intentions, she would have pretended to be sick and not come.

Yu Pingping defended himself. “I just wanted to thank you in person. That would make me look more sincere.”

Yang Xianrong had no choice but to deny it again.

“What happened to your brother has nothing to do with us. We didn’t do anything. You must be mistaken.”

Yu Pingping wanted to say, “Stop joking.” But when she saw the other party’s serious expression, she could not help but be stunned.

She murmured, “It’s really not you guys?”

But if they hadn’t helped, who had?
