Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 860: Chapter 861: D State Jiang Family

Chu Liang hadn’t expected Old Meng to have heard about the matter and said naively, ”The Chief Alliance Officer’s Wife asked me for help, and I haven’t been able to assist, so how can I add to their burden? Besides, I still need to continue the search for the person the Chief Alliance Officer’s Wife asked me to inquire about. The last news was in Peace Town, but since nothing was found there, I have to look elsewhere.”

Chiang Songhai didn’t know what had happened initially, but he vaguely knew that Chiang Xiao, Meng Xinian, and Chu Liang had likely met because of that matter. And now, Chu Liang was the landlord of Ge Dejun’s group. Curious upon hearing this, he asked, ”Is it someone in Peace Town you’re looking for?”

”Well,” Chu Liang still trusted this family and felt they wouldn’t gossip, so he glanced at Meng Xinian and seeing him nod slightly, he said, ”We’re looking for the Chief Alliance Officer’s Wife’s brother, who has been missing for over a decade.”

The Chief Alliance Officer’s Wife’s brother...

Chiang Songhai immediately fell silent, feeling it inappropriate to ask any further.

Old Meng took another sip of wine, had Chu Liang refill his glass, and sighed, ”Li Hanzhong’s wife, she comes from a prominent family of D State, the Jiang Family of D State, have you heard of it?”

Chiang Songhai and Ge Liutao both shook their heads.

D State was far from their G Province, and they had truly never heard of it. Besides, they were both unworldly peasants from the mountains, how would they know about such a distinguished family?

But Chiang Xiao had heard of it!

The Jiang Family of D State!

Her hand trembled slightly, and her chopsticks fell to the ground.

Meng Xinian immediately looked at her, ”What’s wrong?”

”Nothing, I just didn’t hold them firmly.” Chiang Xiao bent down to pick up the chopsticks, excused herself to get another pair from the kitchen, and once inside, she clenched her fists tightly.

D State was a land of wealth, most famous for the Jiang Family.

If the Bai Family of City J was known for their benevolence, it was only within City J. If it weren’t for the fact that Old Bai’s son now held a high position, the Bai Family wouldn’t have the status they have today.

The Bai Family had built relationships through kindness and righteousness, helping many. Those who later achieved success would repay the Bai Family’s help.

But the Jiang Family of D State was different. It was said that the family had produced an Imperial Consort, a Grand Preceptor, a head of a scholarly academy, and in modern times, someone who abandoned the brush for the military, now also in a high position, Li Hanzhong, Old Alliance Officer Jiang.

In present-day D State, there was a museum related to the Jiang Family, open to the public. It was said to be one of the family’s ancestral homes, occupying a vast area.

The museum was named the Jiang Family Courtyard. There was a backyard within the courtyard that was not open to tourists, the council hall of the Jiang Family, where figures now prominent in their own right from all across the country, and even from abroad—descendants of the students of the Jiang ancestors—would sometimes visit D State to express their remembrance and reflection.

So, what status did the Jiang Family of D State hold?

Anyway, it was a stature that Chiang Xiao from her previous life could never reach.

The reason she knew of the D State Jiang Family was firstly because their current family home was also a famous building, said to offer a beautiful view at every step. Many Painters who loved architectural and classical styles considered it an honor to enter the Jiang residence, and being in that circle, she had naturally heard of it.

The other reason, one that had caused her to lose control just now!

Deng Qingjiang was always trying to ingratiate himself with that elderly person, who was the very one who had driven her to such a tragic end, and that individual had risen to power with the support of the Jiang Family, having a close relationship with them!

Chiang Xiao’s loss of control was due to her sudden realization that the Chief Alliance Officer’s Wife she had once saved was, in fact, a daughter of the Jiang Family!
