Chapter 63
Anyang Bo's wife, Zhao Qiuru, fell sick due to being overly frightened by a ghost in the middle of the night.
However the old and kind-hearted Anyang Bo bought a poor woman who sold her body to bury her father on his way home from the court. The girl was lonely and helpless and was taken home by the kind-hearted Anyang Bo. After a few days, she successfully successfully got into Anyang Bo's bed and joined the big family of Anyang Bofu.
Zhao Qiuru, who had been sick for a while, her sickness seemed to become even worse after learning about this incident.
The eldest son of these two, Jiang Zhen, was also very busy. He tried his best to write letters and send gifts to Miss Du every day in an attempt to persuade her to agree to get engaged with him as soon as possible. However, he was duped by Du Yuling and his brothers, and couldn't even get any favors.
Jiang Lin asked Chang An to keep an eye on him near Anyang Bofu, and found that no one in the family said they wanted to go to the prison to see the huakui who looked like Jiang Jinyue.
Zhao Qiuru was sick and couldn't go, and the other two people wished that Jiang Jinyue had died early in Fangyue palace so as not to implicate Anyang Bofu anymore. As for the one in the prison, it would be the best if she had nothing to do with Jiang Jinyue. They didn't want to cause any trouble again and made the life of people in Anyang Bofu became even more difficult.
Therefore it was impossible to see her.
Anyang Bo used to think that this daughter would be blessed to marry the crown prince and support the family as the crown prince's imperial concubine. However, one incident after another caused trouble in Anyang Houfu, and now it became Anyang Bofu. The emperor also no longer used him in any important role, so this daughter who was once he thought as a lucky star had turned into zaixing.

Anyang Bo hoped that she could be at peace and stop harming the family no matter whether she died or not.
As for Jiang Zhen, it could be seen from his low profile and various schemes to please Du Yingying that his life wasn't easy. In the past, when he was the companion of the fourth prince, Jiang Zhen felt that he was superior to others. He took the lead in dealing with young masters in Shengjing, and everyone else had to respect him and give way to him.
But since he was sent home by the fourth prince, this situation had completely changed. It wasn't so obvious at first, until Jiang Jinyue was executed by the empress, and the second prince's rebellion failed, the situation suddenly changed. Those who used to compliment and praise him turned around and started to step on him, ridicule him, and look at him with nothing but disdain.
In addition, he had no errands, both literacy and military skills weren't good, and those who were once inferior to him in the past could get good jobs because of their families, which made it even more difficult for Jiang Zhen to accept.
So under Zhao Qiuru's planning and arrangement, he hooked up with the most favored young lady of the Du family. Everything went smoothly in the beginning. He also made Du Yingying fall in love with him, but he suffered a setback in the proposing marriage. Du Yingying later told him to write letters to her and send her gifts every day for a year. After one year, she would agree to the marriage proposal from Anyang Bofu.
Jiang Zhen didn't like Du Yingying at all, she was just a little girl who didn't understand anything. If he hadn't taken a fancy to the Du family behind her, he wouldn't have cared about this little girl. He still had to write a letter for another year, but Jiang Zhen didn't want to wait even for a month, so he angrily tore up the letter on the spot.
But no matter how reluctant he was, there was nothing he could do. With the current situation in the Anyang Bofu, it was impossible for him to marry someone from a powerful family and was favored in the family.
Du Yingying was still young and it was easy to deceive her. Anyone who was thoughtful and had brain wouldn't be able to fall into his trap and fall in love with him. Jiang Zhen gritted his teeth and wrote letters to Du Yingying every day, he also sent people around him to search for new gadgets and send them to Du Yingying to coax her.
Jiang Zhen didn't want to wait for a year at all. He needed to use the Du family's influence to get himself a good job immediately and live his life like before. Therefore the content of the letters he wrote to Du Yingying became more and more eager to ask her to agree to get engaged.
The rest of the Du family knew what Jiang Zhen was thinking, and Du Yingying gradually realized something was wrong. She felt that Jiang Zhen only wanted to get engaged with her and didn't like her. Although Du Yingying was simple, she also knew that she was from a high-class family and many people always trying to please and fawn over her. Jiang Zhen was just like those young ladies from the small families who came to play with her.
As soon as such thoughts came out, Du Yingying felt that she didn't like Jiang Zhen that much anymore. Moreover, several girls from the Wei family and Miss Yin often invited her to go out to play, so Jiang Zhen became less and less important in her heart.
Jiang Zhen never thought that he would miss something because of his eagerness.
Jiang Zhen panicked when he found out that Du Yingying no longer replied to his letters.
He panicked and wanted to discuss it with his mother. However he was shocked when he saw Zhao Qiuru.
