Chapter 440
Although Xiao Wu was somewhat puzzled in his heart—why would his young master want to investigate his own background for no reason?But hasn't this matter been investigated before?
Wasn't there no problem?
Could it be that the young master is doubting his background again?
"Young Master, do you suspect that Madame is not your biological mother?" After thinking it over, Xiao Wu asked cautiously.
"You talk too much!" Jiang Yuanrang rolled his eyes at Xiao Wu and didn't answer his question.
"Young Master, I feel the most pressing matter right now is to root out the person who tried to harm you," Xiao Wu hurriedly reminded him.
"What have the people of the Second Branch been busy with lately?" Jiang Yuanrang certainly didn't think this matter had nothing to do with his good Second Uncle.
"Young Master, do you suspect the Second Master had someone do this?" Xiao Wu was stunned, wondering if the people of the Second Branch were really so impatient to take his young master's life.
"Who else but him would want my life? If something happens to me, the only beneficiaries would be their Second Branch." Jiang Yuanrang hadn't suspected anyone else at all.
After all, this deed was not done cleverly in the slightest.
"Young Master, we absolutely cannot let them off this time!" Xiao Wu said indignantly.
"No rush. Has Changfeng returned?" Jiang Yuanrang thought of the matters he had sent Changfeng out to inquire about; there should be some results by now.
"Young Master, Changfeng hasn't returned yet. As soon as he does, I will tell you immediately." Xiao Wu shook his head.
Fufeng Courtyard
"Madame, is the Young Master alright?" Seeing Madame Jiang return heartbroken, Nanny Tang quickly stepped forward to support her.
"That child, I saw he was injured quite severely." Thinking of the wound on Jiang Yuanrang's head, Madame Jiang only felt a heavy suffocating feeling in her chest. This child had suffered all of this in place of her own son.
If her own Rang'er were still alive, the one suffering would definitely be her own son.
"Just who could be so cruel?" Hearing this, Nanny Tang said with great indignation.
"Nanny, tell me, could it be that when the Master had his accident back then, it wasn't an accident either?" Madame Jiang suddenly thought about how when she saw the Master back then, the accident had already happened.
As for exactly how it happened, they only said he encountered mountain bandits. But with the Master's cautious nature, if he knew there were mountain bandits, he should have thought of a way to avoid them.
And back then, Zhong, who was by the Master's side, had been missing ever since.
And that illness of Rang'er was also very suspicious.
Back then, if she hadn't saved this current child by a twist of fate, their Jiang family's estate would probably have fallen into the hands of the Second Branch.
All these years, the Second Branch had stayed in the Jiang family under the pretext of taking care of their orphaned widow and son. This stay lasted for nineteen years.
"Madame, this matter—" Nanny Tang thought to herself, so many years had passed. Now Madame suspected someone had framed the Master, but there was no evidence left to investigate.
"I know there is no evidence now. It's just, Nanny, I don't know why, but I always feel a bit uneasy. For so many years, that child has always been very distant with me. Tell me, could he have remembered something?" Madame Jiang thought again of the look in Jiang Yuanrang's eyes today—there was only distance. Her heart clenched painfully again.
Her Rang'er would never look at her like that.
"Madame, it's been so many years. If the Young Master could remember, he would definitely have remembered long ago." Nanny Tang actually wasn't sure in her heart either. Over the years, although the Young Master was outstanding, he and Madame truly didn't seem like mother and son; they were very distant.
However, the Young Master was extremely respectful to her Madame, making it impossible for anyone to find fault with him.
"Tomorrow, go to the Jiang family and bring Yue'er over." Madame Jiang always felt a bit uneasy in her heart, especially since Jiang Yuanrang was also delaying marriage.
Thinking it over, she thought that once her niece married him and they had children in the future, his heart would surely settle down.
"Madame, but the Young Master doesn't seem to have any romantic feelings for the Cousin Miss." Nanny Tang thought about how over the years, the Cousin Miss had found plenty of excuses to come to the Jiang residence, but the Young Master hadn't paid much attention to her.
He would even deliberately avoid her by going out when the Cousin Miss was in the manor.
"Just have Yue'er come. I have my own arrangements." Madame Jiang thought to herself that if all else failed, she wouldn't mind using some special methods.

"Useless trash!" Jiang Huaishan slammed the table angrily.
He hadn't expected that little bastard to be so hard to kill.
Over the years, he hadn't skimped on sending people to trip up that brat, yet every time, he managed to resolve it.
"Father, didn't you say this time's plan was foolproof?" Jiang Huaishan's eldest son, Jiang Yuanda, looked at Jiang Huaishan with a face full of dissatisfaction and asked.
Damn it, he had long been unable to stand Jiang Yuanrang's eternal aloof and superior attitude.
As long as his father was the master of this Jiang family, wouldn't Jiang Yuanrang have to bow his head and live according to their moods?
"Who knew a monkey wrench would be thrown into the works halfway." Jiang Huaishan was also extremely frustrated in his heart; this person was much harder to kill than his father.
"Now that little bastard is back. Lately, all of you better behave yourselves. He might just make an example out of you." Thinking of Jiang Yuanrang's ruthless methods, Jiang Huaishan felt a bit of trepidation in his heart.
"I'm not afraid of him!" Jiang Yuanli said, looking entirely unconcerned.
"Father, tell me, back then you laid murderous hands on both Eldest Uncle and Jiang Yuanrang. Why is it that Eldest Uncle had an accident, yet Jiang Yuanrang is perfectly alive and well?" Jiang Yuanda, however, started to form his own little schemes.
After all, Jiang Yuanrang was the biggest stumbling block on their Second Branch's path to becoming the head of the family.
If there were no Jiang Yuanrang, this entire Jiang family would belong to their Second Branch.
Why did Jiang Yuanrang have to survive?
"Who knows! It's really absurd. I clearly watched that little whelp drink the poison with my own eyes." Thinking of this, Jiang Huaishan was also furious. Everything had been planned perfectly, yet that little bastard simply didn't die.
All previous efforts were wasted.
"Father, do you think Jiang Yuanrang might actually not be Eldest Uncle's child? Could Madame Jiang have gotten him from somewhere else to replace that dead ghost?" Jiang Yuanda rubbed his chin, his eyes unable to hide his jealousy toward Jiang Yuanrang. Who asked Jiang Yuanrang to not only be more capable than them but also better looking?
However, Jiang Yuanda had never seen Jiang Chongshan, so he didn't know what his early-deceased Eldest Uncle looked like.
But he had to admit, Madame Jiang was indeed better looking than his own mother, Madam Feng. Yet, Jiang Yuanrang didn't take after Madame Jiang's looks either.
Jiang Yuanda having such thoughts wasn't actually a matter of just a day or two. Who asked that Jiang Yuanrang to always block his path?
If Jiang Yuanrang wasn't a child of the Jiang family, wouldn't all his troubles be solved?
Jiang Huaishan originally hadn't thought in this direction, but his son's words made him freeze.
Jiang Huaishan carefully recalled his eldest brother's appearance; it seemed he indeed didn't look like that.
The most important thing was that Jiang Yuanrang's appearance was truly outstanding, making it impossible for the other children of the Jiang family to compare with him.
Even Jiang Yuanjie, born of his concubine, couldn't compare.
Could it be that Jiang Yuanrang truly wasn't a child of the Jiang family?
