I was just playing tricks, how come I became Bai Yueguang

Chapter 428 Letting go

Shen Zhi hesitated a little and shook his head.

"She didn't, it was her family."

"Family?" Jiang Huashan clutched the sides of the wheelchair tightly, looking a little lonely.

Shen Zhi, "When Xiao Zhang first came to Shen Garden, she was young. Her family was in a difficult situation, and the old man took pity on her and took her in. A few days ago, her niece came to Shen Garden looking for someone. I saw that the child was covered in injuries, so I was wary. Later, I asked someone to investigate and found out that Xiao Zhang's brother had been set up and was in debt from gambling, so they planned to sell his daughter. The child had secretly run away to ask Xiao Zhang for help."

Shen Lanxi glanced at Jiang Huashan and said calmly, "Who set this up?"

Shen Zhi didn't expect Shen Lanxi to care about such a trivial matter, and quickly responded, "The gambling game was set up by underground money lenders. I've asked Fifth Master Shen to investigate, and there should be results soon."

Shen Zhuang gently patted Jiang Huashan's hand and said comfortingly, "Xiao Zhang has taken good care of you over the past five years. Grandpa has already sent someone to take care of her family affairs. However, she can't stay here. Grandpa will find someone else who will be more dedicated to you."

Jiang Huashan forced a smile, "I understand."

The Shen family's suppression of the military system proposal is tantamount to declaring war on the Guan family and various forces. At this critical juncture, the Shen family must not make the slightest mistake.

Being spoiled also requires a sense of propriety. Jiang Huashan had always stepped on the family's red line before, so even if other people had objections, they couldn't find any evidence against her?

But if Jiang Huashan knew that Zhang Ru was a hidden danger and still forced her to stay, even if Shen Zhuang agreed, it would definitely cause dissatisfaction among the other families.

It seemed that someone was already impatient and ready to take action against her.

Shen Zhuang was very pleased. "After the storm has passed, if you insist on having Xiao Zhang, Grandpa will transfer her back."

This is the biggest concession for a family head.

Jiang Huashan nodded, "Grandpa, when will Aunt Zhang leave?"

Shen Zhuang, "The sooner the better. I've asked Shen Zhi to arrange a car to go down the mountain."

Jiang Huashan was a little reluctant, "I want to see her off."

Shen Zhuang thought for a moment, then nodded and looked at Shen Zhi. Shen Zhi understood and pushed Jiang Huashan's wheelchair, "Miss Jiang, I'll take you there."

Jiang Huashan waved to Shen Zhuang and walked out of the flower hall with a sad look on her face.

After everyone left, Shen Lanxi, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke up, "Grandpa, Zhang Ru..."

"Lan Xi..." Shen Zhuang raised his hand, his eyes dark, "Grandpa knows about this matter."

Shen Lanxi's mind moved, she suppressed her brows, picked up the porcelain cup on the tea table and lowered her head to drink tea.

During the Shen Garden inspection, more than twenty gardeners and servants were dismissed. In order to establish prestige for others, the Shen family arranged a "good place" for anyone who was found to have betrayed their master for personal gain.

Because Zhang Ru's situation was special, Shen Zhi arranged her to stay in the rest room in the side courtyard after finding out the truth.

When Shen Zhi pushed Jiang Huashan into the house, Zhang Ru was lying on the square table writing. She thought someone was urging her to leave the garden, so she didn't dare to raise her head and wrote furiously.

"Please wait a moment, I'll finish a few more."

"Aunt Zhang."

Jiang Huashan shouted, and Zhang Ru was slightly stunned. She was startled and turned around suddenly. The moment she saw Jiang Huashan, her eyes turned red.

"Miss Jiang, I...I..."

Jiang Huashan turned around and looked at Shen Zhi. Shen Zhi sighed softly and said, "I'll go wait outside first."

After the door was closed, Jiang Huashan pushed the wheelchair towards Zhang Ru.

"What to write?"

Zhang Ru smiled and covered the table with her hands. "Nothing."

Jiang Huashan pulled out a piece of notepaper from the gap.

-[Ms. Jiang's daily routine]

-[Ms. Jiang's food preferences]

- [What Miss Jiang doesn't like]

Jiang Huashan lowered her eyes and said nothing.

Zhang Ru saw that she was upset and smiled to comfort her, "I am the one who caused trouble for the Shen family. I was thinking of telling you the truth when you are better. Miss Jiang will not be angry with me, right?"

Jiang Huashan shook his head, took out a bank card from his waist pocket and handed it to her.

"I didn't know you had so many troubles at home. Take this money. With your cooking skills, you can open a small restaurant and be self-sufficient and happy."

She once asked Zhang Ru where she wanted to go, but she said she didn't want to go anywhere. How could a person not have a place to be attached to? She should have thought that Zhang Ru had a home but could not return to it.

"You can use the money yourself. If your brother dares to treat you badly, come back to me."

Zhang Ru's eyes instantly moistened as she pushed the card back. "What are you doing?! Grandpa has already given me enough, how can I take more from you? Besides, Grandpa has already promised me that I can come back after the storm has passed. I don't need so much money."

"Take it." Jiang Huashan stuffed it into her hand stubbornly.

Zhang Ru felt mixed emotions. After five years of companionship, her feelings for Jiang Huashan were no longer a simple employment relationship. She felt bad about the sudden separation, but fortunately the old man had promised that she could come back.

To prevent Jiang Huashan from being too sad, Zhang Ru pretended to be relaxed and smiled, "I'll keep it for you first and return it to you when I get back."

Jiang Huashan nodded.

"Butler Shen."

Shen Zhi pushed the door open and walked in.

Zhang Ru lowered her head and wiped away her tears. "Miss, I'm leaving now. Remember to eat and take medicine on time. Walk around more and don't be lazy. That way you'll get better faster."

"understood."

Zhang Ru wanted to say more, but seeing that Jiang Huashan was in a low mood, she said nothing in the end. She touched her head reluctantly and followed Shen Zhi out of the room.

Jiang Huashan turned her head to look at Zhang Ru's departing back and smiled with relief.

Everyone in this world is bound by their own storyline, unable to escape the wider world. If Zhang Ru had stayed by her side, her world would have been confined to the kitchen and the chrysanthemum garden.

In her previous life, Zhang Ru had been with her from the age of 28 to 38. She was the only person in this story who never left Jiang Huashan.

Jiang Huashan had wanted to repay her since she came back, but she never had the chance until she began to doubt Shen Zhi.

That day, the Shen family was meeting in the main hall, and she deliberately dragged Zhang Ru to stay with her, wanting everyone to see her dependence on her. If anyone really wanted to attack her, they would definitely start by destroying the people she trusted most.

Therefore, whoever attacks Zhang Ru is the most suspicious traitor.

Jiang Huashan originally wanted to let Zhang Ru go. Shen Garden was too dangerous. If she stayed with her, Zhang Ru would be targeted sooner or later. So she simply took advantage of the situation and gave Zhang Ru freedom, thus preserving their companionship in two lives.

After Zhang Ru left, "they" would definitely place their own people to continue monitoring her, and this was exactly what Jiang Huashan wanted.

But she still overestimated herself. Zhang Ru's back completely disappeared from her sight. Jiang Huashan turned her head to look at the densely packed memos on the table, and her eyes gradually became moist.
