Jiang An’s Freedom

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Luo Xuan was not the only one who could not react in time. Everyone present was stunned. That was the Madam of the Zhao family, an all-powerful figure.

The head of the Zhao family had always been outside. She was considered powerful as she had been basically in charge of the entire Zhao family. It was not too much to say that she was the actual head of the family.

It was difficult for ordinary families to even meet her. When they saw her, they wished they could flatter her, afraid that they would make her unhappy.

Luo Xuan had always been an arrogant person at home. After so many years, she had become even more so. No one could go against her wishes.

Even the elders of the Zhao family did not dare to go against her easily. The Zhao family had become her say.

But now, she had been reprimanded by a junior. Moreover, it was a junior who was not even the family head.

Jiang An didn’t care what she thought. The most important thing was to save two lives.

Zou Bai knew what she was thinking. Taking advantage of this time, he quickly went over and snatched the knife away. Tan Si sat on the ground and cried.

Luo Xuan reacted and flew into a rage. “Who are you to talk to me like that?!”

“We’re both humans. I have the right to speak like this!” Jiang An had no intention of being afraid.

Even if they had a status that ordinary people looked up to and had power above the clouds, they were still a person. How could they easily take the lives of others?

Luo Xuan glared at her. “You’re just the heir of the Jiang family. You haven’t officially become the head of the family, yet you dare to behave atrociously in my Zhao family. Could it be that you think you’re going to become the mother of the Zou family? If you argue with my Zhao family, someone will protect you.”

At this point, Luo Xuan felt that this was the truth. Jiang An must have been unaware of her identity. She sneered and said, “Your identity as the successor is a joke. Are you going to marry Zou Bai with the Jiang family?”

Since ancient times, no married daughter had been able to inherit the family. Even if she wanted to give the family business to her daughter, she should have recruited a live-in son-in-law.

Not to mention Luo Xuan, the other families also thought the same.

Since Jiang An was going to marry Zou Bai, they would naturally choose an heir among her three brothers after a while.

Zou Bai walked to Jiang An’s side. “An’an is my wife, the Madam of the Zou family. No matter what she does, the Zou family will protect her. There’s no need for you to worry. Moreover, even if An’an marries me, she will definitely be the successor of the Jiang family in the future. This will never change!”

These words were like a slap to Luo Xuan’s face. She did not expect Zou Bai to be so protective of Jiang An.

From what she knew, marriages in aristocratic families were not satisfactory. She had waited bitterly but could not obtain her husband’s love. Zou Bai must have married Jiang An for the sake of the Zou family.

As long as she acted like she wasn’t someone to be trifled with, Zou Bai probably wouldn’t embarrass her on the spot. However, he just had to stand up and say those supportive words. It was obvious that he was telling everyone that Jiang An could scold whoever she wanted, even if it was the Zhao family.

Luo Xuan was so angry that she could not stand steadily. She reached out to support her forehead. Zhao Zhe immediately ran to Tan Si’s side. “Mom, are you alright?”

The people who came to the banquet felt that it was worth it to come this time. Not only did they see so many things about the Zhao family, but they also knew the Jiang family’s future plans. It seemed that Jiang An would not be trapped in the Zou family after their marriage. As the head of the family, she had many things to deal with.

Some girls looked at Jiang An enviously, not because they were envious of her for having such a considerate husband, but because they were envious of her freedom regardless of whether she married or not.

Jiang An said to Luo Xuan, “I respect you as an elder, so I didn’t say anything too harsh. If your Zhao family looked down on Tan Si, you shouldn’t have brought the child back. Since you brought him back, it means that you still think that Tan Si is worthy of being the child’s mother. Now, you’ve caused the separation of the mother and son. You’re really shameless.”

Luo Xuan’s eyes widened. “The Zhao family and the Zou family are on equal footing. You have no right to say that. I’m going to make you all pay the price!” “Equal status?” Zou Bai seemed to have heard a joke. “Perhaps it can be mentioned together, but the Zhao and Zou families are different.”

Wang Mian nodded. “The Zhao family hasn’t been doing well all these years. I think it’s better to kick them out of the four aristocratic families. The Jiang family is more suitable than them.”

Oh my god, was this something that could be said casually?

The guests could not be bothered to watch the commotion. They felt that it was better to say less. It was definitely not a good thing to get involved.

Zhao Yan stood up. “Stop spouting nonsense. Our Zhao family has been passed down for a hundred years. You can’t comment on us as you please.”

Wang Mian was not afraid of him. “We all have eyes. We all know if what I said is true. It’s useless even if you argue here.”

Zhao Lan hid in a corner and watched the joke. In any case, she wasn’t the one being scolded. It was best if everyone was unhappy.
