Mulberry Candy

Mulberry was a medicinal herb. It could also be made into candy. When Tang Shuang asked Chen Chen to prepare the medicinal herbs for her, she also asked for mulberry.

While she was brewing the Chinese medicine, she placed mulberry and white sugar on a small stove beside her to boil. Finally, she poured out the syrup to cool it. After it cooled, she cut it into small pieces to make mulberry candy.

When Tang Shuang was young, she hated drinking medicine. Her grandmother would therefore prepare some mulberry candies for her. After drinking the bitter Chinese medicine and eating a mulberry candy, she would not feel that the medicine was so bitter.

However, it seemed that Jiang Ye was not as delicate as she was. She had made an unnecessary move.

Jiang Ye put the candy in his mouth. The sweetness of the mulberry instantly dispelled the bitterness, and his heart softened bit by bit.

Tang Shuang was sitting dazedly when the phone beside her rang. It had rang several times before she heard it and hurriedly picked it up.

Chen Chen's voice came from the phone. "Young Master, the Old Master's funeral will be held tomorrow at the Pine Garden in the southern suburbs."

"Yes. Come at ten tomorrow."

After hanging up the phone, Tang Shuang looked at Jiang Ye worriedly. The death of his closest relative had dealt a huge blow on him. Moreover, if he really went to the funeral tomorrow, he would definitely meet Jiang Wei. If he met Jiang Wei, there would probably be an intense conflict. However, with Jiang Ye's current situation, he might not be able to fight Jiang Wei at all.

"Xue'er, let's go to Grandpa's funeral tomorrow. Sleep early today," Jiang Ye said calmly.

Tang Shuang turned off the light and slowly climbed into bed.

Tang Xue's visit today had naturally affected Tang Shuang's mentality. Yesterday, she and Jiang Ye were still snuggling together intimately, but today, she did not dare to approach Jiang Ye. She leaned against the bed and lay down. Just as she closed her eyes, Jiang Ye reached out and pulled her into his arms.

"Why are you so far away from me? We're already husband and wife." Jiang Ye's voice was faint. She didn't know if she heard wrongly, but she felt that there was some deeper meaning to his words.

Tang Shuang did not dare to move, so she could only let herself be held in Jiang Ye's arms. Fortunately, because she was too nervous during the day, she quickly fell asleep, and her tense body slowly relaxed.

Tang Shuang was asleep, but Jiang Ye was not. He lifted a strand of Tang Shuang's hair with his thumb and index finger and slowly rubbed it. In the darkness, his eyes were calm and solemn. After a long time, he let go of Tang Shuang's hair and tucked her in.

The next day, Chen Chen came on time and cleanly knocked out the servants in the residence before taking Jiang Ye and Tang Shuang away.

They got into the car and drove for more than an hour to Pine Garden in the southern suburbs.

It was drizzling when they went out. The rain was even heavier now. Tang Shuang held an umbrella for Jiang Ye and carefully supported him.

Chen Chen said that Jiang Wei did not plan to hold a large-scale funeral this time. He also did not invite too many outsiders to the funeral. Chen Chen did not know if it was because of guilt or other reasons.

When Jiang Ye appeared, the people attending the funeral stirred and lowered their heads to whisper.

Jiang Wei was standing beside the cemetery. When he saw Jiang Ye, a trace of ruthlessness flashed across his eyes. Then, he glared at Li Ming.

Li Ming didn't expect Jiang Ye to actually escape from the villa and come here. He panicked.

"I'm sorry, Young Master Jiang. You aren't invited to the funeral. Please leave." A bodyguard in black stood in front of Jiang Ye, his voice dark and threatening.

Jiang Ye sneered. "Do I need to be invited to my grandfather's funeral? Jiang Wei, is it because you are feeling guilty or afraid that you don't dare to let me come?"

Jiang Wei threw away the black umbrella in his hand angrily and walked up to Jiang Ye. "You unfilial grandson! What right do you have to join the funeral procession? I'm the current master of the Jiang family. Jiang Ye, you've already been expelled from the Jiang family. What right do you have to speak to me like this?"

"The master of the Jiang family? Are you already so shameless? Did Grandpa make a will or give you the family heirloom? Today is Grandpa's funeral. I don't want to make a scene, so don't force me to expose your nonsense." Although Jiang Ye couldn't see, his aura was even more domineering than Jiang Wei's.

Jiang Wei was so angry that his face turned green. When he heard Jiang Ye mention the 'family heirloom', a venomous expression flashed across his eyes.

That damned old man actually handed over the family heirloom in advance!

Jiang Ye had grasped Jiang Wei's weakness. Although Jiang Wei's eyes were red with anger, he did not dare to completely fall out with Jiang Ye. After all, the Jiang family was watching.

Jiang Wei snorted and glared at Jiang Ye sinisterly before turning to leave.

Jiang Ye held Tang Shuang's wrist in one hand and the walking stick in the other. He comforted Tang Shuang gently, "Don't be afraid. Let's go see Grandpa."
