Chapter 1561 The Ku Family (2)
Jian Yu Tan didn’t understand.
And she didn’t plan to delve on this matter at all.
Later on, she suffered some losses in her store and felt a bit irritable. She sent a letter to General Chi out of impulse. Even though she had no expectation at all, but General Chi actually sent back a letter and money.
This made her felt that General Chi is really stupid.
And it was also his stupidity that she continued to use. She had no mental burden at all because she felt that it was indeed his fault that caused her to have to rely on her family.
Later on, she had a headache with Chi Song Hui’s bad habit.
He was indeed very powerful and had a good talent.
But it was because everything was so easy for Chi Song Hui that he developed the bad habit of going to the bars and other places.
Even if he was healthy, his body couldn’t stand being squandered like that again and again.
His growth progress slowed down.
lightsnοvεl.cοm But even then, his exceptional talent still allowed his martial arts to be among the top between the other young generation.
Even though Jian Yu Tan felt annoyed, she still let him be.
And it was also during this period of time that the Jian Family arranged her second marriage.
Jian Yu Tan was shocked at that time.
She was no longer young but her family wanted her to marry again?
After a long period of struggling, she found out that the target this time was Ku Family, a relatively powerful family in Zhang Xu Kingdom’s Capital City.
They had a lot of money and connections.
But the target he was about to marry is actually a person who had once got married but his wife passed away. He also has a lot of children on his own.
When Jian Yu Tan heard that, she thought that her family was kidding.
But then again, as a woman who was no longer young, what kind of marriage she could expect to get?
In the end, Jian Yu Tan followed the arrangement and entered Ku Family.
Thankfully, she was not wronged at all in this family. Even if the children didn’t really like her, they will still show smile on the surface when they saw her.
It was good.
Jian Yu Tan slowly pulled her mind back from her thoughts.
Walking through the familiar steps, Jian Yu Tan felt her heart pounding with nervousness. However, she tried her best to push everything down and continued to walk on the steps towards the main hall.
Ku Family was a big family.
Her husband had several brothers who had their own residences.
His past marriage and the concubines had given him three children. Jian Yu Tan herself had two children with Ku You, one daughter and one son. The two of them were 10 years old and 9 years old respectively.
Children in nobility families had to receive education that was suitable with their ranks. Since that was the case, Jian Yu Tan hadn’t seen her children for a long time and let them study with the teachers her second husband designated for them.
In any case, she didn’t have much interest to raise more children after her first two children.
Her body was already tired from having children and taking care of them was very tiring.
“Madam had arrived.”
Ku You was already quite advanced in age. Because he spent his time reading various classics and also busy with countless affairs in the palace, he looked older than his real age. Even now, he was tired but there some things he had to address.
“Master,” Jian Yu Tan greeted calmly.
Raising his head to look at his wife, Ku You nodded. Even without Jian Family, Jian Yu Tan was still a woman who had been raised in the nobility family. At the very least, her etiquette would not embarrass her in the slightest bit.
However, this thing was useless to him.
“Jian Family is no more. For the time being, you should stay low and not participate in the tea parties.” Ku You knew how much Jian Yu Tan liked to go to those tea parties. With the backing Jian Family used to have, it was nothing much.
Anyway, those kind of events didn’t cost that much and could let them have some entertainments. After having to stay in the boudoir all day long when they were young, these small parties were a good entertainment for most women in this era.
“I know.” Jian Yu Tan forced herself to stay calm.
Ku You looked at the gate and then turned to look at Jian Yu Tan once more. “Don’t contact Chi Dong Wei anymore.”
Chi Dong Wei is the full name of General Chi. Normally, one would not say the full name of others because of etiquette. It was even more so for those who had high rankings and also scholarly name.
Jian Yu Tan’s eyes constricted slightly. Her movements when she sent letters to Chi Dong Wei should have not gone unnoticed by Ku You. He used not to care about it, but now it was indeed inappropriate for her to come to Chi Dong Wei again.
Even if she still wished for him to support her, would he do it when he knew that she was already married again?
That was another matter worthy of consideration.
“I understand.”
Ku You looked at the woman in front of him and then raised his hand, signaling for her to go. Even if he wanted to scold her for having her family implicated so badly like this, there was nothing he could do from scolding Jian Yu Tan.
Aside from venting his anger, he would only worsen his already tight relationship with Jian Yu Tan.
In the end, he simply said nothing.
Jian Yu Tan also didn’t want to stay here and turned around, walking through the path towards her own quarter. She could only pray that the new Emperor would not care about a small character like her.
As she walked past the opened gate, she didn’t realize that there was a person sitting on the small tea shop opposite of this residence.
General Chi, Chi Dong Wei, sipped the tea while looking at Ku Family Residence in front of him.
If he said that he felt nothing, that would be a lie.
