Chapter 39 Jiang Chuan's Past

We finished work, but Jiang Chuan hadn't gone home yet. He asked his servant to bring him a pot of wine. He sat on a tall rock at the back, drinking it silently. He looked like he was worried about something.

I walked over, sat on a rock not far from him, and handed him a steamed bun in my hand: "What's wrong with Jiangchuan? Are you in a bad mood? Drinking alone is bad for your health. There are no good dishes here. You can use the steamed bun to cushion your stomach so that you don't drink too much and get a stomachache."

Jiang Chuan took the steamed bun, stuffed a bite into his mouth, and whispered: "Thank you Aunt Yun, I'm fine."

"If you feel bad, just tell me. Aunt Yun, I can't help you much, but I can listen to you and be a trash can for you to pour out your negative emotions. That's still okay."

"Aunt Yun, do you know? The Jiang Cheng mentioned today is my half-brother. The funny thing is that he and I are the same age. His mother is my father's concubine. She hooked up with my father before my mother gave birth to me.

When my mother gave birth to me, his mother was pregnant and was taken to the general's residence by my father, who begged my mother to give them and me a chance to live. It was under such circumstances that my mother became extremely angry, became increasingly depressed, and finally passed away.

I was just over two years old at that time and didn't know anything. Fortunately, my mother made some preparations before she died. She transferred most of her dowry away and left people outside to protect me. These people fought hard to protect me, allowing me to live safely until I was six years old. Later, I was forcibly taken back to my grandfather's house.

Over the years, my grandfather hired someone to teach me literature and martial arts. I didn't return to the general's mansion until the year before last. Jiang Cheng wanted to sabotage whatever I did, big or small. Every time we met, there would be a conflict, and every time there was a conflict, I was the one who got punished. Usually, I don't bother to care. But this time, I promised Xiu Wen that I would protect you."

"Thank you, Jiangchuan, you are great. Don't be sad. Everyone who leaves has turned into a star in the sky. Your mother must be one of the brightest ones, watching over you and blessing you all the time."

Jiang Chuan leaned over and lay on the stone. "Haha, Aunt Yun, you are treating me like a child, but I still hope that my mother will be like that star, just like you said, and always accompany me."

"Jiang Chuan, what do you want to do in the future?"

"Aunt Yun, I want to be a general in the future. That must be very impressive. Aunt Yun, do you know? When I was a child, I studied martial arts very hard. I just wanted to be the most impressive general. I can kill one person every ten steps, and I can leave no trace in a thousand miles."

"Haha, Jiang Chuan, what you are talking about is not a general, but a knight, a knight who enjoys the world of martial arts. A general must be able to plan and win battles thousands of miles away. You can't be a reckless man who only cares about fighting and killing. You have to take care of many people and be responsible for their lives."

"Aunt Yun, you are right. I also study very hard and learn the art of war."

"Wow, little Jiangchuan, you are so amazing. You will definitely be a famous general in the future. Maybe even a famous marshal. You are both good at literature and martial arts. General Jiang, Marshal Jiang, please accept Aunt Yun's admiring gaze."

"Auntie Yun, I'm not sad anymore. You don't have to treat me like a child anymore. I'm one year older than Xiu Wen."

I don't know when Brother He also sat not far from us. Seeing my jokes, he couldn't help but laugh.

"Master Jiang, you are really amazing! Especially when you took the whip from Jiang Cheng's hand today. I didn't even see it clearly, but the whip was already in your hand. It was like a magic trick. You even scared Jiang Cheng so much that he ran away without even a word. Is that a skill that ordinary people can have? But Master Jiang, you have it, which proves that you are not an ordinary person."

I was stunned when I heard what Brother He said. It turns out that honest people can say nice things so well, and they sound extremely sincere and convincing. I learned something.

The masters are among the people, the ancients were never wrong.

It was already late at night, and Jiangchuan's servant came over to ask Jiangchuan to go to rest. Brother He and I escorted Jiangchuan past the archway and stopped. We didn't go any further to avoid causing trouble to the owner of the manor and causing unnecessary unpleasantness.

Jiang Chuan drank a pot of wine and staggered a little. The servant supported him. The young master of the manor was a friend of Jiang Chuan, and there was a special room reserved for him. It was convenient for Jiang Chuan to come and rest at any time.

Watching Jiang Chuan walk away, Brother He shook his head, then lowered his head and sighed.

"Sister, what do you think Young Master Jiang's father thinks? He doesn't care about such a good son at all."

I don't know what he was thinking, but I know this should be the legendary stepfather and stepmother. What's more, this stepmother has a son. I've read so many novels, don't they all talk about fighting for family property and titles? Jiang Chuan is the eldest son, and he has a family to rely on. Naturally, Jiang Chuan's stepmother and stepbrother are full of resentment towards him.
