Chapter 2027: Chapter 2027: News for the Tan Family

“When did the county magistrate return?” Mrs. Tan laughed and said, “Last time I heard the Lord had conferred you as the county magistrate, I specially went to Jiangyuan County to congratulate, but didn’t expect that the old lady said your return date was not yet set.”

“Just arrived two days ago, and came here today to talk to you about something.”

Shu Yu followed a few people to sit down in the living room, the servants served tea, and Old Master Tan asked, “County magistrate, is there anything you need to instruct?”

Shu Yu shook her head, “It’s not really an instruction, it’s a piece of news to tell you. Initially, it didn’t seem like a big deal. But I just thought, since it’s related to you, letting you know might put your mind at ease.”

The Tan family exchanged glances, Tan Cheng waved his hand to dismiss the servants serving in the living room, then solemnly spoke, “County magistrate, please speak.”

“It’s about Jiang Kuanyu.”

Upon the mention of this person, the Tan family’s expressions turned unpleasant.

Thinking of Tan Cheng being poisoned by him, bedridden for two years, they tried everything but found no help, his life almost lost, Mrs. Tan still gritted her teeth at Jiang Kuanyu.

Only…

“Wasn’t it said he fell off a cliff and died?”

Shu Yu shook her head, “The fall from the cliff is fake. He had arranged for people at the bottom to catch him.”

“What?!” The Tan family exclaimed in shock.

Old Master Tan knitted his eyebrows, “Someone caught him at the bottom of the cliff? What does this mean, so he deliberately made people think he was dead?”

Shu Yu nodded, “Yes, he faked his death. I recently went to Chenggu County and happened to see him. I suppose you’ve heard of the rebellion by the two Princes recently, Chenggu County was the first place to suffer, and Jiang Kuanyu is with the Second Prince, colluding with the rebels, causing chaos in Chenggu County. But now he has met his end.”

“Hiss…” The three of the Tan family drew a sharp breath.

What have they heard? Jiang Kuanyu actually conspired with, with the rebels??

They did believe that Jiang Kuanyu did something shady in secret; otherwise it wouldn’t make sense for just a suspicion to poison Tan Cheng slowly. But they didn’t expect Jiang Kuanyu’s guts were big enough to collude with the rebels.

Mrs. Tan felt a sense of fear, “I am relieved now that he has cut ties with our family. We are merely his victims. Otherwise, otherwise, if he was still in normal contact with us in Dongan Province, we might have been implicated by him.”

Old Master Tan and Tan Cheng didn’t speak but were equally complicated in their emotions.

Shu Yu said, “I came to tell you about Jiang Kuanyu’s death, I know you previously had doubts about his cliff fall, now you don’t have to worry.”

Old Master Tan stood up, cupped his hands towards Shu Yu, “Thank you, county magistrate.”

He indeed had suspicions, even though he hadn’t told anyone, Old Master Tan was still very wary, afraid that once Tan Cheng’s poison was resolved, Jiang Kuanyu might come back unexpectedly.

Shu Yu waved her hand, she was in a hurry to return, so she didn’t stay long, she got up and said goodbye to a few people.

The Tan family sent her out the door, until she got on the carriage, Ying Xi softly said, “I didn’t expect that after not seeing him for half a year, Young Master Tan has recovered so well. Miss, I just stood outside the door listening to the butler, saying that Young Master Tan now plans to resume studying and continue to participate in the imperial examinations, the Tan family is also seeking a marriage for him.”
