Chapter 11 The Original Owner is Causing Trouble

Thinking of this, Jiang Yutang sat up straight, placed her hands on her knees, and began to analyze.

The reason she was out of control in the morning was because Cheng Lanzhou was injured and needed her help, so her body became excited and involuntarily went forward to please her.

The heartache she felt earlier was because Cheng Lanzhou hadn't given her a single glance the entire time, ignoring her presence and causing her sadness and pain.

"Smack!"

Jiang Yutang slapped his knee, startling Jiang Huaiyu who was standing next to him.

"Little sister? What's going on here...?"

"Ouch, I... I just got a leg cramp, ouch!" She closed her eyes, made a pained expression, and started rubbing her knee.

If all of this was truly the original owner's reaction to Cheng Lanzhou, then it's far too cruel.

Because only by being inside this body can one truly empathize, Jiang Yutang felt so sad that she couldn't breathe after just one time. It's hard to imagine how many times the original owner had been ignored and forced to fawn over Cheng Lanzhou.

In that case, staying away is the best solution.

After thinking it through, Jiang Yutang immediately turned to Jiang Huaiyu beside him and whispered, "Third Brother, I have a secret I want to tell you."

Jiang Yuhuai was taken aback, then a look of relief appeared on his face, as if to say, "My sister is finally willing to rely on me."

"Tell me, Third Brother will definitely keep it a secret for you!"

The two heads huddled together, and Jiang Huaiyu strained her ears to listen intently, only to hear, "I want to divorce Cheng Lanzhou."

"What!"

Jiang Huaiyu never expected that her younger sister's secret was this. It wasn't until Jiang Yutang explained that Cheng Lanzhou had brought it up first, saying that they would divorce immediately upon arriving in Danzhou.

"Fine, let's get a divorce. But why did he bring it up first? If anyone should bring it up, it should be our family. Look at what the Cheng family has done to you! You've become so smug. You have to get a divorce, and it has to be you who divorces your husband!"

Jiang Yutang looked at her third brother, who was in a rage, in surprise and quickly covered his mouth: "Keep your voice down, if you keep yelling like that, everyone will know."

Surprised as I was, I could understand.

If it weren't for Jiang Yutang, the Cheng family would never have ended up in this situation. It's perfectly normal for the other party to be thinking about divorce.

"Keep this a secret from your parents and brothers for now, so they don't worry."

Jiang Huaiyu readily agreed, and asked curiously, "Why are you only willing to tell me about such a big thing?"

Meeting Jiang Yuhuai's expectant gaze, Jiang Yutang laughed and patted his shoulder: "Of course, it's because Third Brother is closest to me!"

She wasn't making this up; the person who had the best relationship with the original owner in the novel was Jiang Yuhuai. Because he was easygoing and active due to his martial arts training, he often took the original owner to play everywhere when they were children.

These words moved Jiang Huaiyu to tears, and she pretended to cry as if she were about to.

“Little sister, you’re finally back. Ever since you met Cheng Lanzhou, you’ve been like a different person. You’re not willing to get close to us anymore.”

Jiang Yutang clenched her fist and then slowly relaxed it, saying earnestly, "I was wrong, I won't do it again."

They could have rested for another half an hour, but the yamen runners on their shift suddenly shouted to set off.

Exhausted from the morning, the people dared not resist and could only continue their journey without complaint.

Under the scorching sun, even the scenery before my eyes began to sway. Besides the heavy footsteps of people, there was also the clatter of carts being pushed along the road.

Jiang Jiuzhe pulled the cart silently without uttering a word, while Zhu Shi wiped his sweat from time to time. Jiang Yuhuai also followed behind, carrying Jiang Sumin on his back.

I'm so tired, so very tired.

They had been walking for three hours. Normally, the yamen runners would stop to rest along the way, but this time they were ruthless and did not allow them to stop at all until nightfall before they finally stopped to distribute rations.

Everyone sat on the ground, pounding their calves and groaning.

"Shut up, what are you yelling for!" The constable snapped at him in a cold and unfriendly manner.

Jiang Yutang patted her calves, moved closer to Yun Shi, and muttered softly, "They're so fierce."

"Alas, there's nothing we can do. I'm just afraid that if we have to travel like this for the next few days, we definitely won't be able to take it," Yun sighed with a sorrowful expression.

"Yes, others may be able to handle it, but it's tough on my brothers and my second sister-in-law."

Jiang Songzhi smiled nonchalantly: "We're fine, we're just worried that my sister-in-law might not be comfortable."

All eyes fell on Zhu's belly.

Now that she is five months pregnant, it is the most unstable time. If she walks so much every day, and something goes wrong, there will be no doctor to be found in this desolate wilderness.

Zhu forced a helpless smile, lowered her head, and whispered, "I'm sorry to have worried everyone."

Jiang Jiuze sat down beside her, gently put his arm around her shoulder and squeezed her arm to comfort her.

After finishing their meal, everyone lay down to rest.

Before going to bed, Jiang Yutang changed Jiang Shengan's dressing again. While packing her things, Jiang Shengan suddenly said, "Tang'er, why don't you go and take a look at Lanzhou too?"

Jiang Yutang paused as she packed her things, her heart instinctively racing.

Here we go again, this body is causing trouble again.

She pretended not to care and said, "He should be fine. My third brother and I even saw him walking around today."

"I see. It's good to be young; you recover so quickly." After saying that, Jiang Shengan closed his eyes to rest.

But these words kept echoing in Jiang Yutang's mind, and what lingered in his mind was the injury on Cheng Lanzhou's back.

With her heart racing and unable to calm down, Jiang Yutang stood up in frustration, grabbed her bundle, and went to find the Cheng family.

When Jiang Yutang found the person, he saw Cheng Daier arguing with a man.

"We agreed beforehand that the money we gave you would be enough to take my brother to Danzhou. How can you go back on your word halfway through the journey!"

"I didn't know those yamen runners would be so ruthless back then. Miss Cheng, you saw it for yourself. They were all heartless. If we had to travel like this, I would have had trouble even myself. I really didn't have the strength to help you pull the cart anymore."

"But...but my younger brother can't walk yet, and my mother and I are at our wits' end. How about we give you more money? I'll give you more money!"

Cheng Daier frantically reached for her purse, but the man waved his hand and refused, saying, "This isn't about the money. I'll give you your money back. Go find someone else!"

The man shoved a purse into Cheng Dai'er's hand and left without looking back, no matter how much Cheng Dai'er called out to him.

Jiang Yutang finally understood based on their conversation.

It turns out that the person who had been helping Cheng Lanzhou all this time was hired by Cheng Daier, but now that person has quit.

Seeing Cheng Daier standing alone, her eyes reddening as she looked at her pocket, Jiang Yutang felt a pang of sympathy for them.

Cheng Lanzhou's father passed away early, and he supported the entire general's mansion with his achievements at a young age. He has always taken good care of his sister and mother. He was originally engaged to a childhood sweetheart, but the original owner of the body forcibly took her away, ruining the marriage.

What a scoundrel...

Jiang Yutang hesitated for a long time before finally mustering her courage and gritting her teeth as she walked over: "Auntie."
