Jia Huan, though young and looking not too bright,
was no naive and gullible fool.
Having grown up in a large household with a favored legitimate brother above him, he knew all too well the ways of the world.
Therefore, he understood that his grandmother's sending of Jia Lian to Yangzhou wasn't without purpose.
Firstly, it was naturally to escort Lin Daiyu.
Secondly, it was to prevent any issues, as Lin Ru Hai was dying, the Lin family had few members, and Daiyu, as an orphaned girl, wouldn't be able to manage the aftermath.
Though the Lin Family had lost its title, their wealth was undoubtedly substantial.
Such a large inheritance couldn't simply fall into the hands of outsiders.
Jia Huan perhaps hadn't thought of the Jia family plotting for the Lin estate, but he knew that his grandmother's sending Jia Lian meant she was aware of Uncle Lin's fate.
And yet, this inevitable demise had suddenly changed!
