Jiang Chuan stepped closer to Jiang Xia and Zhou Lan, saying with an air of mystery, "On my way back, I crossed the eastern part of the village and heard some interesting news. Can you guess what it is?"
"Does it have to do with Grandpa and Grandma?" Jiang Xia asked, her eyes wide with anticipation.
Zhou Lan also looked on expectantly from the side.
However, she suspected that it likely involved Old Madam Jiang.
Jiang Chuan had been holding the pocket watch in his hand the entire night before he went to bed. Even when he woke up in the morning, he couldn't bear to put it down.
He appeared upset when he woke up this morning, but now his face radiated joy.
When he didn't know his lineage, Jiang Chuan could convince himself that he simply wasn't favored by Old Madam Jiang. But now that he knew his origins, he could no longer lie to himself in this way.
The actions of Old Madam Jiang throughout his life were hard for him to forget.
