son, don't mess around

"You may not care about the opinions of others, but what about her? Doesn't she care? You are the prince of Lin Wang, you may not be afraid of any rumors, but she can't. She is the fourth daughter of the Jiang family..."

For some reason, Liu Su's tone became a little intense: "Have you considered her feelings?"

Lin Jiangnian was silent. What Liu Su said was indeed right. He ignored his aunt's feelings.

For him, a prince of little reputation, it was normal for him to do anything shocking.

But for my aunt...

Although her reputation in Chujiang City was not very good, such a thing was still too "shocking" after all.

"I understand."

Lin Jiangnian nodded.

For some reason, Liu Su was suddenly speechless.

She didn't know whether what she said just now was to help Jiang Yuxiang, or... for herself?
She doesn't know.

Taking a deep breath, Liu Su said in a deep voice: "No matter what, this is your business and has nothing to do with me..."

"Whatever you plan to do is your own business. This is all I can do to help you."

"Thank you."

Lin Jiangnian looked at her, his eyes full of gratitude.

This time, he really didn't expect that Liu Su would help him like this.

This was beyond his expectations.

"I'm not just helping you."

As if she was not used to Lin Jiangnian's eyes, Liu Su looked away again, expressionless. She seemed to want to explain something, but she opened her mouth and finally said nothing.

Lin Jiangnian glanced at the door behind him and said, "Then I'll come back later."

After saying that, Lin Jiangnian turned and left.

Liu Su was left standing under the eaves, watching him leave the room in silence.

At the same time, inside the room, on the bed, Jiang Yuxiang, with her head buried under the quilt, slowly lifted the quilt.

She revealed a face that was flushed, perhaps due to being suffocated or for some other reason, accompanied by rapid breathing and a pair of eyes filled with shame and uneasiness.

She was still staring at the top of the roof, her expression dazed.

Don't know what to think.

……

Chujiang City.

The streets are still bustling and lively.

In the restaurants and inns on the streets and alleys, one could often hear people spreading rumors about the news that came out of the poetry meeting.

In a private house in the west of the city, you can pass through the inner courtyard and enter a dim secret room through the side door.

The secret room was almost airtight and extremely depressing.

Lin Jiangnian came to the depths of the secret room and looked at the woman imprisoned in the secret room with an expressionless face.

Sun Yan!

The third young lady of the Sun family, the eldest lady of the Jiang family, the noble lady who once lived high and mighty, now had disheveled hair and was lying on the ground in a mess with a look of horror in her eyes.

Compared with Xu Xiuzhu, her ending was obviously much better.

She had not suffered any physical torture or beating, but the mental torture of ending up like this had almost made her collapse.

Footsteps were heard, and Sun Yan, who was lying on the ground, opened her eyes with difficulty. She met Lin Jiangnian's gaze, and a look of fear emerged in her eyes.

"you……"

Sun Yansi suddenly sat up, his eyes full of fear and resentment: "You, what do you want to do?!"

Lin Jiangnian stood there, staring at her expressionlessly: "I should be the one asking you this question."

Sun Yan stared at Lin Jiangnian, her expression gradually turning into a mixture of madness and laughter: "Of course I want to kill you...kill you and that woman!"

As if realizing something, Sun Yan stared at Lin Jiangnian: "Where's she?"

"She's fine." Lin Jiangnian said expressionlessly.

"impossible!"

Sun Yan showed a trace of astonishment on her face, and then sneered: "She can't be fine. I fed her a strong aphrodisiac, and there is no antidote for that drug. Once the drug takes effect, if there is no man, she will..."

Sun Yan just stopped talking here. She stared at Lin Jiangnian in front of her, and a trace of unwillingness appeared on her ferocious face: "You, you?!"

Then, Sun Yan became furious and said, "Why you?!"

"You all deserve to die, you all deserve to die!"

She was just one step away, just one step away from completing her plan and destroying that woman!
But unexpectedly, the plan failed!
"You all deserve to die!"

Sun Yan stared at Lin Jiangnian fiercely: "Let me out quickly, how dare you arrest me? Do you know who I am? When I get out, I will kill you two dogs and bitches!"

Facing the mad Sun Yan, Lin Jiangnian had a blank expression on his face: "Do you think you can still get out?"

Sun Yan's voice suddenly stopped, her eyes suddenly widened, and fear suddenly appeared in her eyes: "You, what do you want to do?!"

"If you were not the eldest lady of the Jiang family, you would have died long ago!"

Lin Jiangnian said in a cold tone: "Of course, before you die, I will throw you into the slums in the west of the city. I heard that there are many strong men there. They should be very interested in you, the eldest lady of the Jiang family."

Sun Yan's body was covered with hair, her eyes were filled with horror, and she was enveloped by fear: "You, what do you want to do?! You, do you know who I am?!"

"Afraid?"

Lin Jiangnian glanced at her and said, "You can do this, but you can't accept it if it happens to you?"

"You, you dare?!"

Sun Yan couldn’t even imagine what would happen to her if she fell into the hands of those damn poor people.
At this moment, her face turned pale and she stared at Lin Jiangnian: "I am the eldest lady of the Jiang family. If anything happens to me, you will die miserably."

"I told you that you are still alive because of your identity. But do you really think you are safe?!"

Lin Jiangnian walked slowly towards her, staring down at her with a blank expression on his face: "Now, I'm going to ask you a question. If you don't answer truthfully, I will definitely throw you into the slums."

Under Lin Jiangnian's cold gaze, Sun Yan trembled all over, her face twisted with fear and horror.

"Where did you get your medicine from?"

Lin Jiangnian stared into her eyes and asked word by word: "Who gave it to you?!"

As soon as these words came out, Sun Yan trembled violently, her eyes twisted with horror: "I, I bought it."

Lin Jiangnian said in a cold tone: "Where did you buy it from?"

"I……"

Sun Yan gritted her teeth: "What does this have to do with you?!"

"It seems that you still don't understand your current fate."

Lin Jiangnian said expressionlessly: "You still have one chance."

"You, you...kill me if you have the guts!"

"I told you I won't kill you."

Lin Jiangnian had no expression on his face. "Qingqing."

"Your Highness."

Lin Qingqing's voice appeared silently beside Lin Jiangnian. Lin Jiangnian glanced at her and said, "Throw her to the slums in the west of the city."

After hearing this, Lin Qingqing was stunned for a moment, but she quickly saw the hint in Lin Jiangnian's eyes and immediately understood what he meant.

"Yes."

"You, you guys..."

At this moment, Sun Yan was shaking violently. Seeing Lin Qingqing walking towards her, she struggled in fear: "No, no, get out, all of you get out!"

However, Lin Qingqing easily picked her up with one hand and slapped her hard on the face, telling her to shut up: "Dare to frame Miss Jiang, this is your fate!"

As she spoke, Lin Qingqing carried her outside.

"No, don't... help..."

At this moment, Sun Yan was completely panicked.

When she learned that she was going to be thrown into the hands of the dirtiest men in the world, men whom she normally found disgusting even to look at, she was suddenly overwhelmed by fear.

Her face was ashen, her whole body was trembling, and she struggled in fear: "No, let me go... I don't want it..."

"Let me go!"

She screamed heartbreakingly and struggled desperately, but to no avail. When she was about to leave the secret room, Lin Jiangnian said expressionlessly: "Wait."

Lin Qingqing stopped and threw Sun Yan to the ground.

"last chance."

A cold tone.

Sun Yan looked up tremblingly and met Lin Jiangnian's cold eyes. At this moment, her heart was trembling with fear. For the first time, she felt deeply afraid of the man in front of her.

The devil is not a human being at all!

She was finally deeply frightened!
If she were to be trampled upon by those filthy inferiors, how could she still have the face to live?

If this gets out, will the Jiang family still want her?

Even the Sun family might not be able to accommodate her.

She would become the laughing stock of the entire Chujiang City. Thinking of this, Sun Yan trembled violently. She lowered her head, and a trace of deep resentment flashed in her eyes.

"That medicine, yes, was given to me by someone else..."

She spoke tremblingly.

"who."

"One, a woman..."

Sun Yan recalled what happened at that time in her mind.

She found Xu Xiuzhu and wanted to join forces with Xu Xiuzhu to attack Jiang Yuxiang and take revenge on her.

At this time, a woman suddenly came to her house and gave her a few packets of medicine, saying it was a strong aphrodisiac. She was skeptical and asked someone to try it. Sure enough, the effect was amazing, so she immediately decided to use this medicine on Jiang Yuxiang.

Lin Jiangnian stared at her coldly: "What does she look like? What's her origin?!"

"I, I don't know..."

Sun Yan's face looked grim and her voice trembled.

She didn't remember the woman's origins, but just recalled it with trepidation.

"She is very beautiful and has a good temperament..."

After hearing Sun Yan's description, Lin Jiangnian's eyes became even colder.

There really is someone plotting behind this incident.

From the moment his aunt was drugged, Lin Jiangnian realized something was wrong.

The drug my aunt was poisoned with was not an ordinary drug. Even someone with profound martial arts skills would find it difficult to resist such a strong drug.

Such a powerful medicinal effect would never be circulated among the people, nor would it easily fall into the hands of ordinary people.

Even in the Linwang Mansion, even in Ruyi Tower, it is difficult to find such a strong medicine, let alone Sun Yan? How can she, a woman, get it?
Therefore, Lin Jiangnian vaguely realized that there might be someone behind this helping to deal with it.

But who is it? !

Lin Jiangnian's face became increasingly grim, and he already had some vague guesses in his mind.

……

"Your Highness."

Lin Qingqing quickly came to Lin Jiangnian's side and whispered, "I have sent people to investigate, but they have not found the whereabouts of Princess Xu."

"She seems to have left Chujiang City..."

Outside the hospital.

Lin Jiangnian stood outside the yard, his face gloomy and cold: "She must not have left!"

"What do you mean, Your Highness?"

"She's hiding."

Lin Jiangnian said coldly: "Sure enough, she did it."

At this moment, anger was brewing in Lin Jiangnian's heart.

When Lin Jiangnian learned from Sun Yan that a woman gave her the medicine, the first person he suspected was Xu Chaoge!

Only that woman is most likely to have such a powerful medicine!
She is the only one who is likely to do such a thing behind the scenes!
And now, when Lin Qingqing was sent to investigate her whereabouts, there was no trace of her, which further confirmed Lin Jiangnian's guess.

It was definitely her who did it!

Thinking of this, a hint of murderous intent flashed in Lin Jiangnian's eyes.

He was careless!

After the last meeting, he never thought that this woman was smiling but had a dagger hidden behind her. She was trying to confuse Lin Jiangnian and pretending to want to marry him.

However, he acted insidiously behind the scenes and used such despicable means.

This made Lin Jiangnian angry, and he finally wanted to kill her.

"Then Your Highness..."

Lin Qingqing sensed the murderous intent in His Highness and immediately understood something: "I'll send someone to investigate and find out her whereabouts!"

"Ah."

Lin Jiangnian nodded coldly: "Find her out, don't alert the enemy!"

Lin Qingqing left in a hurry.

Lin Jiangnian stood in the courtyard, his eyes becoming colder. Since she is unkind, don't blame him for being rude! A majestic and terrifying aura lingered around Lin Jiangnian, and it slowly subsided after a long time.

But even so, one could still see that Lin Jiangnian's face was terribly gloomy.

He hasn't been this angry in a long time.

At this time, footsteps were heard behind him. Lin Jiangnian turned around and saw Zhiyuan in white clothes appearing not far away, looking at him quietly.

"Paper Kite."

Lin Jiangnian took a deep breath, rubbed his facial muscles, and walked slowly closer.

Zhiyuan looked at Lin Jiangnian quietly, with a hint of worry in her cold eyes: "Have you found out?"

"Ah."

Lin Jiangnian said in a deep voice: "It was probably her who did it."

Hearing this, Zhiyuan was silent for a moment, "Why would she do this?"

"I don't know, but..."

Lin Jiangnian said in a deep voice: "No matter what the reason is, it is unforgivable."

"What are you going to do?"

"She did something unforgivable to my aunt. She deserves to die."

Something strange flashed in Zhiyuan's eyes, but she didn't say anything else. She just looked at Lin Jiangnian's gloomy and slightly haggard expression, was silent for a while, and said softly: "You should go and have a good rest."

Lin Jiangnian hardly had any good sleep these days.

“It’s not over yet.”

Lin Jiangnian shook his head.

Zhiyuan glanced at him and said, "You don't need to do these things yourself."

Her tone was calm, yet it seemed to contain a hint of tenderness.

"give it to me."

Lin Jiangnian was stunned, looking at Zhiyuan's cold face in front of him.

It seemed that she had gradually forgotten that she used to be his maid, and was also favored by Prince Lin and was in charge of the affairs of Prince Lin's Mansion.

Lin Jiangnian was silent for a moment, then said softly, "Thank you for your hard work."

"This is what I should do."

After a pause, a hint of coldness flashed across Zhiyuan's eyes: "They hurt my aunt, so I naturally have an obligation to do this."

When Lin Jiangnian heard Zhiyuan mention his aunt, he felt a strange feeling in his heart for some reason.

"correct."

At this moment, Zhiyuan suddenly thought of something and looked at Lin Jiangnian. He spoke in a very quiet and calm voice.

"What happened on the night of the poetry reading?"

"You haven't told me yet."
