son, don't mess around

Chapter 677: Liu Su who dares not see the kite
"no!"

Jiang Yuxiang came back to her senses, her face slightly blushed, and she said firmly: "Old man, don't test me!"

"No means no!"

Mr. Jiang didn't say anything, just stared at him quietly.

Jiang Yuxiang felt a little uncomfortable with the old man's gaze. She pouted and said unhappily, "Let's not talk about whether I will get married or not. You should pay attention to the Jiang family first."

"Ever since you fell ill, all kinds of monsters and demons have come out, all targeting the Jiang family, ready to divide your property at any time."

"Once you die, I'm afraid that the Jiang family will be eaten by those people until there is nothing left."

Old Master Jiang said unhappily, "Are you so eager for my old bones to die soon?"

"Is this something I can decide?"

Jiang Yuxiang sighed softly: "I hope you can live as long as that old turtle in the South China Sea!"

Old Master Jiang puffed his beard and glared. Although what he said seemed to be a good thing, why did it sound so awkward coming from his little daughter's mouth?
As if thinking of something, Mr. Jiang's expression was slightly profound: "Those people do want me to die!"

"So, old man, was it them who caused you to suddenly fall ill this time?"

Jiang Yuxiang looked serious.

Although the old man was old, he was in very good health before. How could he almost lose his life because of a minor cold?

"Whether it is or not, it doesn't matter anymore!"

Old Master Jiang sighed softly: "There is not much I can do to help you. The Jiang family will still have to rely on you sooner or later in the future!"

"We must check!"

Jiang Yuxiang snorted coldly: "No matter who is interfering, I will find him out!"

"As for what will become of the Jiang family..."

Jiang Yuxiang glanced at the old man and said, "You can't rely on a weak woman like me, right?"

"So, your marriage with the Xu family is the best outcome."

Old Master Jiang said earnestly: "The Xu family is one of the largest families in Chuzhou. Once you marry him, the Xu family will definitely be able to help the Jiang family..."

"Stop!"

Jiang Yuxiang interrupted the old man again and sneered: "Help? I think it's covetousness!"

"Once you die, our Jiang family will surely fall. By then, other noble families will be eyeing us covetously. Will the Xu family also target our Jiang family and want to take a piece of the pie?"

Mr. Jiang smiled and said, "Yuxiang, do you have so little confidence in yourself?"

"Humph!"

She naturally knew what the old man wanted to say, and shook her head: "I am just a weak woman, and I don't want to get involved in these struggles."

"Let Big Brother take care of these things."

Having said that, Jiang Yuxiang stood up and prepared to leave.

At this time, Mr. Jiang narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "That kid, is he coming soon?"

Hearing this, Jiang Yuxiang stopped again.

"almost!"

A hint of tenderness appeared in Jiang Yuxiang's beautiful eyes, and then she curled her lips again: "I received a letter from the mansion yesterday, saying that the brat has arrived in Wuyang City. I estimate that he will be able to reach Chujiang City in the next two days!"

At this point, Jiang Yuxiang turned around and looked at the old man again: "He is your grandson after all, is that how you call him?"

Old Master Jiang slowly sat up from the bed. His old face seemed listless, but his eyes were still sharp and shining.

"Is Lin Heng back?"

"not coming!"

Hearing this, a gleam of light flashed in Mr. Jiang's eyes, and then he regained his composure.

"It's good that you didn't come!"

Hearing this, Jiang Yuxiang couldn't help but look at him again: "Are you still holding a grudge?"

Mr. Jiang snorted coldly: "What do I hate?"

"So after all these years, you're still brooding over what happened back then?"

Mr. Jiang's face turned cold, "He killed your sister and Wan'er!"

"You can't blame him entirely for my sister's death!"

Old Master Jiang had a blank expression on his face. "What did he promise me when he married Wan'er? But what happened? Wan'er died because of him. If I don't settle this account with him, who can I settle it with?"

Hearing this, Jiang Yuxiang remained silent.

It is difficult to say whose fault it is in this matter.

Sister Wan'er's death cannot be blamed entirely on Lin Hengzhong, but what the old man said is also right, Lin Hengzhong also has to bear a large part of the responsibility.

It can be said that Sister Wan'er died because of him!

"That's why I didn't agree to this marriage back then... I didn't expect it would lead to such a disaster!"

When he said this, Mr. Jiang's voice trembled slightly.

It seems like I can't let it go for a long time.

Jiang Yuxiang was stunned: "How did you figure it out back then?"

"When I first saw him, I knew he was no ordinary person!"

Old Master Jiang's eyes were deep and his old face was slightly cold.

When he first met Lin Hengzhong, Lin Hengzhong was not yet the powerful Prince Lin that he is today. But at that time, Mr. Jiang had already seen that Lin Hengzhong was extraordinary.

There was no clichéd story of a poor boy and a rich girl! From the beginning, Mr. Jiang knew that Lin Hengzhong had a bright future.

That is why he strongly opposed this marriage!
The future is limitless, but it also means danger. Jiang Wan is Mr. Jiang's most beloved daughter. He has no intention of marrying his daughter, nor does he want her to marry a powerful person. He only hopes that his daughter can live a peaceful life.

And these were exactly what Lin Hengzhong could not give at that time.

Once Wan'er marries him, she will face countless dangers.

So, Mr. Jiang strongly opposed it!
But in the end, his opposition was of no use, and Wan'er still married Lin Hengzhong!
What happened afterwards did not surprise Mr. Jiang!

Although he had tried his best to avoid it and forced Wan'er, who was pregnant at the time, to stay in the Jiang family to recuperate, he did not expect that Wan'er would secretly run to find him.

On the way to see Lin Hengzhong, she was about to give birth and was attacked by an assassin...

Although the mother and child were safe in the end, Wan'er was left with extremely serious sequelae. In the following years, Wan'er's body became increasingly weak, and she passed away a few years after giving birth to Jiang Nian!

When his daughter passed away, Mr. Jiang was extremely sad and suffered a heavy blow. He put all the blame on Lin Hengzhong. Since then, he broke up with Lin Hengzhong. In the past ten years, he has had almost no contact with him.

At the same time, Mr. Jiang didn't have much good feelings towards Lin Jiangnian.

After all, his birth killed Wan'er!

Therefore, even though he is Lin Jiangnian's grandfather, Old Man Jiang has almost ignored him over the years.

Not really.

Jiang Yuxiang remained silent. She knew there was no way to persuade him about this matter.

She had no idea what happened back then, as she was not very old at that time.

But... "No matter what, this incident has happened for so many years, and the prince... naturally does not want such a thing to happen again."

Jiang Yuxiang sighed softly: "The prince has never remarried in these years, and there are no concubines in the Lin Palace. The prince is deeply in love with my sister!"

"The death of his sister was also a huge blow to him!"

Old Master Jiang was silent, with no expression on his gloomy and old face.

"Furthermore……"

Jiang Yuxiang glanced at the old man and sighed softly: "No matter what, Jiang Nian is your grandson. Although you hate Lin Hengzhong, you shouldn't involve him..."

"No matter what, he still has my sister's blood flowing in his veins, and he is my sister's only hope left in this world!"

Hearing this, Mr. Jiang seemed stunned.

After a while, he looked a little lonely, in a trance and didn't say anything.

He seemed to be lost in thought for a long time.

……

sunny!

Located at the foot of the mountains, several rivers flow down the winding mountain roads and converge into the Yangtze River. On both sides of the rivers lies an extremely prosperous city!

Chujiang City!
As the most prosperous city in Chuzhou and even in the entire Jiangnan region, the Chujiang City in front of us is shocking.

There is no end in sight, surrounded by mountains in the distance. On the rivers, boats are wandering, decorated with lights and huge ships are passing slowly everywhere.

On both sides of the river, there is a bustling street of shops, with no end in sight. There is a constant stream of people on both sides, densely packed, noisy and lively!
"It's so lively!"

Xu Lan and Xiao Lu, the master and servant, got off the carriage. Even though they had seen big scenes before, they still couldn't help but feel deeply moved when they saw this scene.

"This Chujiang City is much more lively than our Linjiang City and Beijing City!"

Xu Lan spoke.

“It’s really lively!”

Lin Jiangnian looked up at the city in front of him, then gradually looked away.

"Let's go into the city!"

Lin Jiangnian waved his hand, and Xu Lan and Xiaolu hurriedly followed, and the three of them walked towards the city.

At this moment, only Xu Lan and Xiao Lu, the master and servant, were with Lin Jiangnian. The rest of the people had already dispersed when they arrived outside Chujiang City, and they broke up into small groups and arrived in Chujiang City first.

When he arrived in Chujiang City, it was not suitable for him to be followed by too many people, and Lin Jiangnian did not plan to enter the city in a big way. The situation in Jiangnan was also unclear, and he did not intend to be the first to stand out.

Lin Qingqing and Lin Kong arrived at Chujiang City earlier to gather information about the situation and to pick up Lin Jiangnian in the city.

As for Liu Su...

Thinking of that woman, Lin Jiangnian sighed deeply.

That woman is still having a conflict with Lin Jiangnian!

As for the reason for the conflict between the two, it all started from the day the eldest princess left...

On the day the princess left, Lin Jiangnian stopped by and said goodbye to the princess. At the same time, he also said goodbye to Jinxiu and An Ning.

It’s just that the way of saying goodbye was a little ambiguous!
Before leaving, Lin Jiangnian was worried that An Ning would forget him, so he took a more radical way of saying goodbye...

As a result, Jinxiu saw it and was extremely angry!

Of course, Jinxiu was not the only one who discovered this scene. There was also Liu Su who witnessed it all from beginning to end on the other side of the official road.

So...

Liu Su turned hostile!
very angry!
Looking back on the situation afterwards, Lin Jiangnian felt that he had indeed handled the matter in a somewhat unkind way.

Liu Su was watching from the side, but he was flirting with another woman openly... Anyone would be angry if this happened to them!
Liu Su was indeed very angry, and she was unwilling to talk to Lin Jiangnian anymore. Lin Jiangnian coaxed her for a few days before finally calming her down, but even so, Liu Su still ignored him.

Of course, Lin Jiangnian thought about it carefully and suddenly discovered that there might be other reasons why Liu Su ignored him... Just when everyone was about to arrive at Chujiang City, Liu Su suddenly ran away quietly!
Liu Su's physical injuries had mostly recovered, and her martial arts skills had also gradually recovered a lot. After she recovered, she quietly ran away the night before arriving at Chujiang City.

This morning, Lin Jiangnian received news from his subordinates that Liu Su had arrived in Chujiang City ahead of schedule.

Lin Jiangnian immediately guessed something...Liu Su was probably not still angry with him and was deliberately ignoring him.

Instead, she wanted to use the excuse of being angry and ignoring him to secretly cover up another truth... She didn't dare to see Zhiyuan? !

Arriving in Chujiang City means arriving at the Jiang Family! This also means that we will meet Zhiyuan!
This pair of half sisters will also meet here!
Obviously, Liu Su was a little resistant!

She was deliberately escaping in this way.

She didn't want to see Zhiyuan...or maybe she didn't dare.

I haven't figured out how to face it!

So she chose to escape!

However, Lin Jiangnian did not expose it. If Liu Su really did not want to see Zhiyuan, Lin Jiangnian would not force her. After all, if she really did not want to see him, even if she was forced to meet him, it would probably not be of any benefit.

The two girls might even start fighting... In that case, the gain would be counterproductive!
Therefore, Lin Jiangnian ordered people to keep an eye on Liu Su's whereabouts in Chujiang City. At the same time, he took Xu Lan and Xiaolu into the city!
He took Xu Lan and Xiaolu for a stroll on the streets of the city, enjoying the beautiful scenery of Jiangnan and the gentleness and enthusiasm of the women of Jiangnan.

Xu Lan and Xiaolu were very interested in this and were extremely excited along the way.

In the city, Lin Qingqing and Lin Kong, who arrived at Chujiang City one step ahead, had been waiting for a long time.

"Your Highness, should we go directly to the Jiang family?!"

Lin Qingqing stepped forward to greet him.

"Not urgent!"

Lin Jiangnian shook his head. He chose to enter the city in a low profile this time and he had no plans to go directly to the Jiang family.

The Jiang family is not a good place nowadays!

Mr. Jiang was seriously ill, the Jiang family was in conflict, and the outside world was also watching closely. What's more, Lin Jiangnian didn't have a deep relationship with the Jiang family, and he didn't know Mr. Jiang at all.

He didn't want to get involved in the Jiang family's mess.

This time, Lin Jiangnian came to the Jiang family to pick up Zhiyuan and Xiaozhu, and to visit old man Jiang.

As for the Jiang family, it’s better to have less contact with them.

"Let's find an inn first and see what the situation is!"

Lin Jiangnian nodded and asked, "Where are Zhiyuan and Xiaozhu? And my aunt, are they all at Jiang's house?"

Lin Qingqing nodded: "After they arrived in Chujiang City, they lived in the Jiang family. Miss Jiang knew that Your Highness was coming a few days ago, and she has always wanted to come and pick you up..."

"As for Sister Zhiyuan... although she is also in the Jiang family, I don't know her whereabouts..."

Lin Qingqing reported.

She did not alarm the Jiang family's spies, so the information she could find out was limited.

"Row!"

Lin Jiangnian nodded. As long as he could make sure that Zhiyuan and the others were at Jiang's house, that would be enough. As for the rest, he already had a plan in mind.

"Okay, let's find a place to get something to eat, and then walk around Chujiang City."

"The rest, we'll talk about it after we're full!"

"..."
