son, don't mess around

Chen Xu is indeed not a good person!

But he is a smart man!
He knows exactly what he wants and will do whatever it takes to achieve his goal!
Such people are often scary, but at the same time, they are often very useful when used as a 'knife'!
He is cruel enough and has the guts to do this!

If used well, this 'knife' can play a huge role!
Lin Jiangnian did not expect Chen Xu to be loyal to him. A man with no bottom line like him could not be loyal to anyone!
Profits are always the greatest driving force!
Chen Xu now has no choice but to cling to the Lin Wang Mansion, submit to Lin Jiangnian, and become a chess piece in Lin Jiangnian's hands. This is his only option!

All he can count on is the support of Prince Lin's Mansion!

Lin Jiangnian wanted to use Chen Xu to control the Chen family, and at the same time, to appease the various families in Linjiang City!
These days, as the properties of several aristocratic families such as Zhu and Yan were ransacked and entire families were arrested, these large families that had been passed down for decades collapsed.

This caused panic among the people in Linjiang City and all the noble families were uneasy. Although the Linwang Mansion used force to suppress the situation, the situation should not be underestimated.

If we continue to exert pressure, it will probably backfire!

At this time, the most important thing is to appease the emotions of the various families! At the same time, winning people's hearts is also essential.

And Chen Xu is Lin Jiangnian's chess piece to win people's hearts!

……

"Your Highness has come up with a really good plan!"

In the backyard, Jinxiu gently held the railing under the eaves with her hands, and bent her body slightly forward, looking into the yard, with some emotion on her beautiful and delicate face.

"Chen Xu has been deserted by his relatives in the aristocratic family. He betrayed his own uncle. Such behavior will be despised by others no matter what. But Your Highness continues to support him to take the throne. This move is really ingenious..."

Sitting on the rocking chair in the courtyard, Lin Jiangnian looked up and met a pair of delicate eyes with a faint smile, looking at him with a half-smile. The girl had a delicate and beautiful face, and the smile on her delicate face made her look extremely lively.

Under Lin Jiangnian's gaze, Jinxiu was leaning on the railing with a slightly relaxed expression.

As she bent forward, the fullness and heaviness wrapped under her light clothing became more and more obvious, like heavy ripe fruits hanging on a twig.

Extremely dazzling!
Lin Jiangnian followed the direction of his gaze and saw that the girl in his sight had a curvaceous body. Her clothes wrapped around her slightly round and perky buttocks, which were clearly fuller than before.

Whatever he saw, Lin Jiangnian couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

Jinxiu seems to have matured a lot!
Compared to her previous slightly immature temperament, she is now more mature and elegant. Whether it is her appearance, temperament, or body, it seems that there have been significant changes.

All these changes are naturally closely related to Lin Jiangnian's persistent and hard work.

Soon, Jinxiu under the eaves seemed to notice where His Highness's gaze was... His Highness's gaze became more and more outrageous, and he hardly concealed it!
Jinxiu felt a little embarrassed and annoyed. She glared at His Highness, then stood up and leaned back slightly to cover herself up a little.

Lin Jiangnian then reluctantly withdrew his gaze and raised his eyebrows: "Oh?"

"What do you think, Miss Jinxiu?"

Jinxiu rolled her eyes beautifully: "Your Highness may be able to hide it from others, but not from me!"

Lin Jiangnian asked, "Miss Jinxiu, can you tell me in detail?"

"Your Highness is determined to support Chen Xu. Is this probably for the other noble families to see?"

Jinxiu looked at Lin Jiangnian.

Lin Jiangnian did not comment.

Jinxiu continued, "Your Highness supports him just to tell other families. Even though Chen Xu became a traitor to the Chen family, he surrendered to Your Highness, and Your Highness accepted his surrender regardless of past grudges. With your support, even a traitor can become the ruler of the Chen family..."

"In this way, it is impossible for the people from other noble families to remain unmoved!"

At this point, the faint smile on Jinxiu's face reappeared, and she said meaningfully: "Those direct descendants of the aristocratic families may not care, but for those collateral descendants, and those people from aristocratic families who have almost no chance to succeed in their lives, it's different..."

"Even someone like Chen Xu who betrayed the Chen family could be accepted by your Highness, and with your help, he became the head of the Chen family. How could the other people not be tempted? Not ready to make a move?"

Such is human nature!
Among aristocratic families, there is always a shortage of frustrated descendants like Chen Xu!
Under normal circumstances, they will never have a chance to succeed in their lifetime!

But once the news that Chen Xu has become the person in charge of the Chen family spreads, this outcome will inevitably change.

Even someone like Chen Xu who betrayed his own uncle, after joining the Lin Wang Mansion, was able to achieve success and become the head of the Chen family!
What about them?

If they surrender to Prince Lin’s Palace, will they also have such an opportunity?
If they also betrayed the head of the family and dragged the main branch down with them, would they also have a chance? !

The people in each family can never be united. The bigger the family, the more serious the factions and conflicts. If there is a chance, no one will refuse to stab their own family!

Especially this knife, it might even become a shortcut to success...

In the face of interests, family ties seem extremely fragile!

Even if we take a step back, those people in the various families would not be as crazy as Chen Xu and attack his own uncle. But as long as this news spreads, it will inevitably arouse suspicion, doubt, and vigilance from the various families...

These noble families in Linjiang City will surely fall into more chaotic internal strife. The main line will try to persuade the side branch children, and the side branch children will also consider the feasibility of backstabbing...

In this way, the power of each family can be weakened, making them tired of internal fighting and consuming each other.

In any case, this is great news for the Linwang Mansion!

Therefore, Jinxiu felt that His Highness's move was quite ingenious!
"The analysis makes sense!"

Facing Jinxiu's analysis, Lin Jiangnian couldn't help but praise: "If it weren't for Miss Jinxiu, I wouldn't have known that this prince had such talent!"

Jinxiu knew very well the character of her own prince, so she rolled her eyes and said unhappily, "Your Highness is really taking advantage of you!"

"Miss Jinxiu is really a worm in this prince's stomach!"

"Pooh!"

Jinxiu blushed when she heard this, and couldn't help but spit, "Your Highness, don't say such disgusting things. It's disgusting to talk about roundworms or not!"

"How should I describe this prince?"

Lin Jiangnian said with a smile.

"do not know."

Jinxiu rolled her eyes again.

Anyway, His Highness would definitely not be able to say two good words out of three, so she would not listen.

The afternoon sun slowly shone into the courtyard. Jinxiu stretched lazily, showing off her delicate willow-like waist. Then she asked, "Your Highness, what are you going to do next?"

Lin Jiangnian blinked: "What is Miss Jinxiu asking about?"

"On the serious side!"

Jinxiu blushed and stressed unhappily! As soon as she looked into His Highness's eyes, she keenly sensed that something was wrong.

I have known His Highness for such a long time, and we have been frank with each other. Even the obscene His Highness has forced me into all kinds of postures... How could Jinxiu not hear the hidden meaning of His Highness now?

Sure enough, it was absolutely true that two of the three sentences His Highness said were not good ones!

And the remaining sentence must be obscene!
"On the serious side..."

Lin Jiangnian clicked his tongue, as if he was a little regretful: "I don't have any plans."

"No plans?"

Jinxiu heard this and said unhappily, "Is your Highness thinking of something improper?"

Lin Jiangnian was immediately shocked: "Miss Jinxiu, you still say you are not the worm in my stomach?!"

beautiful:"……"

"..."

"I really don't have any plans. I am just a playboy with no knowledge or skills. How can I achieve anything great? Don't you think so?"

"The turmoil in Linjiang City may continue for a long time, but it has nothing to do with me. With the prince here, everything is stable..."

"Isn't your princess going back to the capital? Didn't we agree before? I also happen to be going to the Jiang family in Chuzhou, so we can go together..."

After teasing Jinxiu for a while, Lin Jiangnian told Jinxiu about his next plans in bits and pieces.

I don’t really have any plans!
To be precise, he couldn't discuss his next plans with Jinxiu in detail yet.

Now that the situation in Linjiang City has stabilized, he should go to the Jiang family in Jiangnan, Chuzhou. The condition of Mr. Jiang has not improved. Although it is said that it has not worsened, Mr. Jiang is old and I am afraid it is unknown how long he can hold on. I heard that the situation in Jiangnan is also quite chaotic.

As the core figure of the Jiang family, if Mr. Jiang died, it would cause a big stir. The situation in Jiangnan was complicated, and Zhiyuan and his aunt who were in the Jiang family might also be affected.

It is reasonable for Lin Jiangnian, as the grandson, to go and take a look.

Lin Jiangnian had mentioned this matter when he went to see Lin Hengzhong yesterday. Lin Hengzhong didn't say much about it, but just reminded Lin Jiangnian to be careful when he went there and not to get easily involved in the fight in Jiangnan.

At the same time, Lin Hengzhong was unable to get away, so he also entrusted Lin Jiangnian to visit Mr. Jiang and bring his greetings.

Of course, whether it’s because you can’t get away or you just don’t want to go, that’s worth considering!
Lin Jiangnian had learned before from some old people in the Prince Lin's Mansion that Lin Hengzhong did not have a good relationship with Old Man Jiang. The relationship between the father-in-law and son-in-law had always been tense. This matter started many years ago.

When it comes down to it, it all comes down to one’s background!

Back then, Lin Hengzhong was not yet a Lin King, and was born in an ordinary family. Even though he had some achievements and prestige in the army, it was still far from enough. As for the Jiang family, which was a great family in the south of Chuzhou, the gap between the two was like a natural chasm!

The eldest daughter of the Jiang family fell in love with an unknown person!
This is the most popular plot in countless popular novels and dramas for thousands of years from ancient times to the present. But at the same time, there will always be parents who act as villains and break up the couple!

The Jiang family is no exception!

However, different from many dramas of breaking up couples, the eldest daughter of the Jiang family did not give old man Jiang the opportunity to break up the couple. The eldest daughter of the Jiang family, who dared to hate and love, did not bravely elope with her beloved man and travel far away to pursue true love like in those vernacular novels!
The eldest daughter of the Jiang family brought Lin Hengzhong directly back to the Jiang family, brought him in front of Mr. Jiang, and said in front of everyone that he was her man!

I heard that the news shocked the entire Jiangnan aristocratic families.

No one expected that the eldest daughter of the Jiang family, Miss Jiang, who was loved by everyone, could do such a shocking thing.

As for what happened afterwards, it is not very clear. Lin Hengzhong, who was not yet the King at that time, went to the Jiang family alone. It is unknown whether he was beaten by that old man Jiang!

But the final result was that the Jiang family agreed to the marriage!
However, although the marriage was agreed, Mr. Jiang still looked down on Lin Hengzhong. Even after Lin Hengzhong made great military achievements and was named a king of a different surname by the emperor and became extremely powerful, Mr. Jiang still never treated him well!
Lin Hengzhong was arrogant and proud, and he was not convinced by the old-fashioned old man Jiang. The relationship between the father-in-law and son-in-law had always been tense!
And after Princess Lin passed away, the relationship between the father-in-law and son-in-law took a sharp turn for the worse!

There has been almost no interaction over the years!
I think that Mr. Jiang probably blamed Lin Hengzhong for his daughter's death. And Lin Hengzhong may have felt a little guilty, and he hardly went to the Jiang family in recent years!

And now that Mr. Jiang is seriously ill, he may not live long!

The grudges of the past seemed to no longer be important!

……

"Your Highness, you want to come with us?!"

Jinxiu was extremely surprised when she learned that Lin Jiangnian was going to leave Linjiang City with them.

Originally, Jinxiu had been feeling anxious and uneasy. She had been feeling uneasy since she learned that the princess was going back to the capital.

Going back to the capital means parting with His Highness, but not going back to the capital means parting with the princess.

Jinxiu didn't want to choose either of these two options, but she had to!
Information came from the capital that His Majesty's health was deteriorating, and the princess had to return quickly to avoid any mistakes.

Jinxiu also made up her mind and planned to accompany the princess back.

His Highness was not short of women around him. Jinxiu had seen quite a few of them. Even without her, His Highness would still have many women around him.

But the princess was different, she only had her and An Ning by her side. Under such circumstances, she naturally couldn't abandon the princess.

Therefore, during this period of time, Jinxiu would come to see His Highness whenever she had time, just because she wanted to take advantage of the last time to accompany His Highness.

I also hope that after we separate in the future, Your Highness will not forget her so quickly!
But when she heard His Highness say that he wanted to go with her and the princess, Jinxiu was overjoyed!

Even though she knew that His Highness would not go to the capital, it was undoubtedly good news for Jinxiu. This meant that she could stay with His Highness for some time!
"Great!"

Jinxiu was extremely surprised and immediately wanted to tell An Ning the news.

But as soon as he turned around, he seemed to think of something.

Jinxiu stopped and the smile on her face faded slightly.

He stood there in a daze for a while, and when he looked at Lin Jiangnian again, there was a more complicated expression on his face.

"what happened?"

Lin Jiangnian was a little puzzled by Jinxiu's changes.

"Your Highness, you are such a bad guy!" Jinxiu spoke softly, glaring at him unhappily.

Lin Jiangnian: "?"

No, he was smiling just now, how come his expression changed in an instant?

Isn't this face changing too fast? !
