son, don't mess around

Chapter 699 Asking the Old Man for Help

"Auntie, let go first!"

Seeing Jiang Yuxiang's angry expression, Lin Jiangnian quickly tried to please him. After Jiang Yuxiang vented his emotions, he let him go.

"Tell me, what do you want to do?!"

Jiang Yuxiang crossed her arms, staring at him suspiciously with an unfriendly look in her eyes.

Lin Jiangnian didn't dare to look around, fearing that he would be discovered. He coughed lightly and said, "What else can I do? I'll avenge you, my aunt..."

"You're still lying?"

"calm……"

Lin Jiangnian took a step back and said quickly: "Of course, there are other reasons. However, it is a bit troublesome to explain!"

Lin Jiangnan sighed softly: "In short, leave them here. I have my own plans. If I have time later, I will explain it to you in detail."

Jiang Yuxiang stared at him quietly, and her eyes gradually became complicated.

After a while, Jiang Yuxiang was silent for a while, sighed softly, and his eyes changed slightly. He glared at him lightly: "I knew that you would never be honest!"

"I just arrived in Chujiang City and I've caused such a big commotion!"

Although she didn't know what Lin Jiangnian was going to do, from all the signs, this brat must be planning something big.

The noise he could cause would probably cause a huge uproar.

"But the Sun family is not a small family after all. You will undoubtedly offend many people by doing this." Jiang Yuxiang did not continue to ask, but was just worried.

"Don't worry, I know what's going on."

"The more you say that, the more worried I become!"

Jiang Yuxiang glared at him again: "Does the old man know?"

"Probably don't know."

Lin Jiangnian smiled and said, "But he will know soon. After all, we still need his help in this matter."

Jiang Yuxiang was silent.

After a while, he sighed and said, "Forget it, forget it. Anyway, you little brat has grown up and I can't stop you from doing anything you want to do. Go ahead."

"But you must be careful and never put yourself in danger again."

Jiang Yuxiang gave him some serious instructions.

Lin Jiangnian quickly agreed.

"You little brat, you've made such a big noise. Our Jiang Mansion is going to be very busy from now on."

Jiang Yuxiang said unhappily: "I'll go check the situation for you first, you take it easy."

After giving Lin Jiangnian some more instructions and warnings, Jiang Yuxiang turned and left.

Lin Jiangnian stood there, thought for a while, and then turned around.

Sun Jingguo and Sun Yue came to cause trouble today, which was not in Lin Jiangnian's plan. However, when he saw the two of them, Lin Jiangnian already had a plan in mind.

Now that you're here, don't leave yet!

If these two stay, they can be of great use.

However, what my aunt said was indeed right. The Sun family is a big family. Even though Lin Jiangnian is the prince of Prince Lin, this is not Linzhou after all. It is not so easy to turn against the Sun family.

Therefore, Lin Jiangnian needs help.

……

In the cold room.

"You little brat, you're causing trouble as soon as you get here, right?!"

In front of the bed, Old Master Jiang looked tired. He coughed twice and stared at Lin Jiangnian in front of the bed with some unfriendly eyes.

Obviously, the old man already knew what happened in the Jiang Mansion.

"How can I be the one causing trouble?"

Lin Jiangnian sighed and defended himself: "They came here to cause trouble... They called me an 'adulterer', who could tolerate that?"

"From childhood to adulthood, no one has dared to slander me like this!"

Old Master Jiang sneered, "Just because they scolded you twice, you detained them. You mobilized so many people, do you think they are fools?"

Lin Jiangnian thought for a moment and said, "If they want, they can indeed act like fools."

"Ah!"

Old Master Jiang stared at him: "Don't think I don't know what's in your mind. You just want to take this opportunity to make trouble for the Sun family, right?"

"Have you, the Lin Wang Mansion, been eyeing the Sun family for a long time?"

Lin Jiangnian immediately showed an embarrassed look on his face: "How can this be called a long-term target... Am I not helping you, Grandpa, to eliminate dissidents?"

"The Sun family is eyeing the Jiang family covetously, waiting for you to die so that they can divide up the Jiang family. Am I not venting my anger for you by doing this now?"

"Stop putting gold on your face!"

Old Master Jiang said unhappily: "Lin Hengzhong really has a good plan."

Then, Mr. Jiang stared at him again, his expression gradually becoming serious: "Do you know what the consequences of doing this are?"

"If this causes resistance from other families, then the Lin Palace will become the target of public criticism."

After learning the purpose of Lin Jiangnian's visit to Jiangnan, Mr. Jiang understood many things.

Lin Wangfu set his sights on all the noble families in Jiangnan.

Want to use the prosperous Jiangnan region as a source of nutrients for the Linwang Palace?
But this is nothing but a fairy tale.

Over the years, even the imperial court has tried to levy taxes several times and tried every possible means to obtain more silver, money, taxes and grain from the Jiangnan families, but without exception, they have failed!
The Jiangnan families became extremely united when faced with external forces from the imperial court.

Even the imperial court can’t do it, but the Prince Lin’s Mansion wants to do it?

"Just because the imperial court can't do it doesn't mean the Lin Wang Mansion can't do it."

Lin Jiang laughed and said nonchalantly, "By that time, they may not have the chance to choose."

"What do you mean?"

Mr. Jiang frowned slightly.

"Grandpa, do you know that Princess Xu has also come to Chujiang City?"

Lin Jiangnian suddenly asked.

And Mr. Jiang seemed to realize something and narrowed his eyes slightly: "I know."

"Then why did she come here? Grandpa must know, right?"

Mr. Jiang stared at him: "Have you seen her?"

"I just met him today." Lin Jiangnian nodded.

Mr. Jiang narrowed his eyes slightly: "Her purpose for coming to Jiangnan is the same as yours!"

"Yes!"

Lin Jiangnian nodded. After meeting the princess today, Lin Jiangnian realized that the princess’s purpose was the same as his.

If King Xu wants to rebel and secure his throne with legitimacy, he must have a legitimate reason and, in addition, he must have sufficient support.

The various aristocratic families in the south of the Yangtze River are undoubtedly the key forces they want to win over.

As for what that woman said today, about marrying Lin Jiangnian... this might indeed be the princess's plan.

However, it is not the core and key plan.

Her move was nothing more than an attempt to temporarily deceive Lin Jiangnian and conceal the real purpose of her coming to Jiangnan.

"So, I can't let her plan succeed!"

Lin Jiangnian sighed, "If all the Jiangnan families are won over by her, it will be very disadvantageous to us."

Mr. Jiang stared at Lin Jiangnian: "So?"

"I'm afraid I'll have to ask you to step in this time!"

Lin Jiangnian showed a hint of shyness on his face, as if he was a little embarrassed: "After all, I am a junior, it is not easy for me to show up..."

"At this time, do you know that you are a junior?"

Old Master Jiang snorted coldly.

Lin Jiangnian chuckled.

Old Master Jiang stared at him for a while and said unhappily, "You are completely different from your father."

"Your father is a damned thing with a calm personality, and your mother is equally gentle, so how could they give birth to a cunning person like you?"

"Grandpa, are you praising me?"

"If you think it is, then it is." Old Master Jiang narrowed his eyes, his expression gradually became serious, staring at Lin Jiangnian: "This time, I, an old man, can indeed help you once. However, the rest of the things will depend on you..."

"As for whether your plan to come to Jiangnan this time will be successful, it depends on your own ability..."

Hearing this, Lin Jiangnian was overjoyed: "Thank you, Grandpa!"

"With grandpa's support, we will definitely have a smooth journey."

"And one more thing!"

Old Master Jiang looked at Lin Jiangnian quietly. After a while, he finally asked, "You and that girl from Beijing..."

"Have you guys decided to discuss this?"

The girl that Mr. Jiang mentioned is the eldest princess of the current dynasty.

Lin Jiangnian nodded: "Exactly."

"Then you and her..."

Old Master Jiang narrowed his eyes and said, "What will you do if she changes her mind at that time?"

"What do you think of the palace?"

Faced with this question, Lin Jiangnian was silent for a moment and said, "I believe her."

"This concerns the lives of so many people. How can you just brush it off just because you said you believed her?"

Old Master Jiang stared at him with a serious look in his eyes: "As the prince of Lin Wang and the future Lin Wang, how many people will you be responsible for? How can you make a judgment so easily because of your children's personal feelings?"

Facing the old man's questioning, how could Lin Jiangnian not know this truth?
He was sure that the eldest princess was sincere to him.

At least for now, it's sincere.

But what if...she changes her mind?

After all, what she will face is the greatest temptation in the world...

Once it happens, she succeeds!

Will she change her mind?

Will she eventually make other choices because of her identity and position?

Thinking of this, Lin Jiangnian was silent for a long time.

"I still believe in her."

Lin Jiangnian spoke, paused, and then said, "However, Grandpa, your worry is not unnecessary."

"When the time comes, I will also leave a way out for the Linwang Mansion. No matter what happens in the future, the Linwang Mansion will always be the Linwang Mansion."

A look of satisfaction appeared in Mr. Jiang's eyes: "If you think so, then I am relieved!"

"Then this time, I'll risk it all and help you this time!"

"..."

Sun Mansion, backyard.

At this moment, a noble lady was sitting in the yard, wiping her tears with her head down.

"Brother, you must stand up for me this time and seek justice for me!"

The noble lady's voice was extremely sad and angry: "If you don't help me, I will die in front of you!"

In front of the lady stood a middle-aged man who was probably less than fifty years old. He frowned slightly, but there was a hint of helplessness in his eyes.

"Yan'er, don't worry. Your second brother and fourth brother have already gone to the Jiang family. They will definitely make the decision for you this time."

As if he thought of something, a trace of anger flashed in the middle-aged man's eyes.

"This time, the Jiang family really went too far. No matter what, they shouldn't hit you!"

"What do you mean by no matter what?!"

Hearing this, Sun Yan was immediately angry and said, "What did I do wrong? I didn't do anything wrong! Jiang Yuxiang is too much. She bullied Jingyun and even beat me with her adulterer... If this gets out, how can I live my life in the future?"

Sun Qiao felt a little depressed and his face looked extremely ugly.

He had not expected that the Jiang family would go so far this time. Looking at his sister's bruised and swollen face, he did not say the words that were on his lips.

"Sister, you should stay at home for the next few days and wait for your second brother and fourth brother to come back first. If Jiang Zheng doesn't come to apologize in person this time, I will never forgive you."

"And that vixen Jiang Yuxiang!"

Sun Yan's eyes flashed with resentment: "I want her to kneel down and apologize to me, and her adulterer... I want him dead!"

Sun Qiao frowned slightly. He could hear the angry words from his fourth sister, but he didn't say much.

Want Jiang Yuxiang to apologize?
The fourth young lady of the Jiang family is a fearless person, and with the protection of old man Jiang, it would be difficult to ask her to apologize!
As for the adulterer mentioned by Yan'er...what is his origin?
Sun Qiao vaguely felt that something was wrong.

Just here, a servant figure hurriedly walked into the mansion and appeared outside the backyard, looking anxious and panicked.

"Master, it's bad, it's bad!"

"what's up?"

Sun Qiao frowned, looked at the servant who appeared hurriedly outside the courtyard, and frowned: "Why are you so anxious?"

"Master, master..."

The servant looked pale and said, "Second Master, Fourth Master, they, they..."

"Detained by the Jiang family!"

As soon as these words came out, Sun Qiao's eyes suddenly changed, and he was a little unbelievable: "What did you say?!"

Even Sun Yan, who was crying and acting pitiful, was stunned when she heard this.

"Who detained him? Tell me!"

"I don't know either. I just heard that the Second Master and the Fourth Master took people to the Jiang family today, but they never came out... Then, news came out that they were detained by the Jiang family..."

The servant's voice trembled slightly, and he was very nervous: "The Jiang family said that the second and fourth masters offended someone they shouldn't have offended... If you want to release them, you have to, you have to..."

Sun Qiao stared at the stuttering servant with a cold look in his eyes: "What do you want?"

"We need the old man to come and apologize in person to redeem the person..."

As soon as these words were spoken, silence fell all around.

Then, Sun Yan's hysterical voice was heard: "Crazy?!"

"Is Jiang Yuxiang crazy? Is Jiang Zheng crazy?"

The second brother and the fourth brother were detained by the Jiang family?
This is something Sun Yan could never have imagined. Who did it?
Jiang Zheng?!
Who else but Jiang Zheng? !
What on earth do they want to do?!

"Big brother!"

Sun Yan looked at her elder brother in disbelief. She was shocked and angry, but also a little nervous: "What should I do now?"

At this moment, Sun Qiao was not as excited as imagined.

When he heard that his second and fourth brothers were detained by the Jiang family, he was shocked at first, and then he quickly smelled an unusual smell.

has a problem!
What on earth do the Jiang family want to do?
Let the old man go and apologize in person?

Is it just a rant, or is there some ulterior motive?
"Go check it out!"

Sun Qiao stared at the servants: "Find out what the Jiang family is trying to do? And what happened to the Jiang family recently?"

"Yes!"

The servant left in a hurry.

Sun Qiao narrowed his eyes and looked back at Sun Yan: "Little sister, don't worry, let me think about this matter for a while."

"Still thinking?!"

Sun Yan's eyes widened and she angrily said, "My second and fourth brothers have been detained by them. They have bullied us to the extreme. How can you still endure this?"

"Things are not as simple as you think!"

Sun Qiao frowned. After all, he was not a fool. The Jiang family would not do such a stupid thing.

"I need to report this to my father first!"

Having said that, Sun Qiao turned around and left in a hurry.

Sun Yan was left standing there, her eyes becoming more and more resentful and angry, and she was very disappointed with her elder brother's weakness.

You've been bullied to such an extent, and you're not anxious at all?
How does Big Brother look like a big brother?

Since her elder brother won't help, she will find a way herself!

Sun Yan's eyes were cold, and she gradually came up with an idea in her mind.
