Chapter 279

To cooperate with Wang Shang is like seeking the skin of a tiger.

It is really a very bad strategy.

Mrs. An quickly rejected this idea in her mind.

However, what Nanny Gui said did serve as a reminder to her.

This daughter is disobedient and difficult to control. She has her own little thoughts, but she is really stupid. She doesn't have the brains, but she always wants to control everything... Replacing her with a sensible and smart one might be the best choice.

But how can I replace my daughter with a new one legitimately without arousing suspicion?

Mrs. An frowned and fell into deep thought.

Nanny Gui stood by in silence, with her head lowered, not daring to even breathe, for fear of disturbing others and losing her life.

"Jiang Anning has arranged to have dinner and watch lanterns at Taotie Tower with Jiang Fangshi and Jiang Suishi on the Mid-Autumn Festival."

Jiao Niang looked serious as she looked at Wang Shang who was playing with the cat in front of her and asked, "Can we start now?"

There was a hint of excitement gleaming in her eyes.

Wang Shang had said before that they couldn't kill Jiang An Ning for the time being, but they also couldn't let people live too comfortably, so he asked them to plan and arrange for Jiang Fang to have an accident and drown.

In this way, Jiang Anning is created to be a person who is doomed to be unlucky.

Let her be despised.

Especially those who were closest to her in the past, such as Jiang Sui or Jiang Fang’s family.

All of this was achieved with the help of Jiang Anning, who also helped me become close to others.

If they become enemies because of this and become ungrateful people who take revenge for kindness... or if Jiang Anning feels guilty and depressed about it, these are all very good things.

When I return to the capital and report my position to my master, I will naturally have something to say.

So as not to appear that they have been neglecting their duties and wasting their time here for the past nine years.

Maybe you can even please your master and get some rewards.

Even if there is no reward, being able to avoid punishment is also a merit!

When the time comes, she will definitely remember Jiang Anning's kindness.

I pray for him day and night, hoping that Jiang Anning could live a more miserable life.

This is to please the people above.

As for blaming...

We can only blame Jiang Anning's mother for offending the wrong person.

But I never expected that the plan would not be as fast as the changes!

They had made plans many times to send Jiang Fang to the West to meet the Buddha, but in the end, they were always stopped and sabotaged by Wang Shang, the instigator who gave them the order to scheme for Jiang Fang to drown.

If you have to say anything, now is not the right time.

Every time he says the time is not yet ripe and we should wait.

The result is that after waiting and waiting, now, more than half a year has passed and Jiang An Ning is about to leave for the capital.

Even most of their people have been killed.

The time has not come yet!

Jiao Niang had even begun to suspect several times that Wang Shang, that bastard, had designed Jiang Fang's death and made Jiang An Ning bear the stigma of being doomed to be unlucky. This was an excuse he came up with to divert their attention and prevent anyone from accidentally hurting Jiang An Ning!

Now is the best time.

Jiao Niang looked at Wang Shang with undisguised suspicion, as if she would immediately draw her knife and chop this traitor who had betrayed them to pieces if she heard this man continue to make excuses like the timing was not right or it was not the right time!
"Mid-Autumn Festival?"

Wang Shang seemed surprised: "Is the news accurate?"

"Shouldn't the family be reunited on a day like this?"

"It's fine for Jiang An Ning alone, but it's normal for the ladies in the city to hold a banquet."

"Why are those people from Jiangjia Village here too?"

He looked at Jiao Niang with some disbelief: "Are you sure the news is correct?"

"Of course!"

Jiao Niang looked at Wang Shang with vigilance: "Are you thinking of saying that the time is not right again?"

Wang Shang rolled his eyes at her, as if mocking her stupidity.

“I just don’t think it makes sense.”

He snorted, "It's OK for Jiang Fang. She doesn't have parents-in-law to serve, and her husband doesn't have any brothers or sisters to come back for the reunion dinner. Plus, Zhao Mei instructed Zhou Ran to do something, there's a rift between the couple, so it's understandable that they don't spend the Mid-Autumn Festival together."

"But Jiang Sui is here too."

Wang Shang raised his eyes, looked at Jiao Niang, and asked, "Do you think this is reasonable?"

The girl's eyebrows slightly frowned, and she followed the guidance of the people and began to think deeply.

"The man from Jiang Sui's family has four brothers, not to mention his sisters who are married out."

"There's even a grandmother-in-law in her husband's family."

"So, all his father-in-law's brothers and sisters have to come back and have a reunion dinner together as a family."

"She is someone's daughter-in-law, and a junior. She doesn't help with the housework and prepare meals at home. Instead, she comes out to drink and enjoy the lanterns with Jiang Anning... Do you think this is reasonable?"

Jiao Niang listened to the meaningful questioning, blinked, and began to doubt herself.

"That……"

She hesitated, not knowing whether to believe that Wang Shang had no ulterior motives and simply felt that the news was not reasonable, or whether she should suspect that this man had impure motives and was trying to make a feint to the east and attack in the west.

"Go verify the news first."

Wang Shang clicked his tongue, as if he suddenly thought of something: "You just said that Jiang Anning was hosting a banquet at Taotie Tower?"

"Yes." Jiao Niang responded subconsciously.

Wang Shang chuckled a few times: "If that's the case, then let me go and find out."

"It just so happens that I haven't seen my stepmother for some time."

He gave a charming smile, his eyes full of seductiveness.

Jiao Niang rolled her eyes in disgust.

She became more and more suspicious that the person had ulterior motives and stared at him vigilantly.

"I'll go get some information. If the information is true, you guys should remember to make preparations in advance and keep your hands and feet clean."

After Wang Shang finished speaking, he seemed to have just discovered that something was wrong with Jiao Niang, and frowned and asked, "Why are you looking at me like that?"

"what do you mean……"

Jiao Niang paused and looked at him in disbelief: "Is the time ripe now?"

"Why not?"

Wang Shang chuckled twice: "I've been waiting for half a year. Isn't now a great opportunity?"

"Do you think there is a more appropriate time for an unexpected death than on such a reunion day?"

He looked smug: "Not to mention, this dinner was organized by Jiang Anning."

"If something happens to someone close to her because of this, do you think she will feel so guilty that she wants to die?"

Wang Shang raised a malicious smile and said, "Besides, she is about to leave for the capital. The journey is long and tiring, which is already physically and mentally stressful. If she is still depressed about this matter..."

He chuckled a few times: "It's not like he's going to lose his life."

"We can't let him lose his life."

"Even if we wanted to, the one in the palace would not allow her to lose her life."

"But after all this trouble, it is inevitable that the root of the disease will remain."

Jiao Niang looked at him with a half-believing look, and blinked her almond-shaped eyes slightly: "What do you mean?"

"Jiang Anning was already in poor health. Although he had earned some wealth with his own hands over the years, he had a hard time with blood-sucking leeches like the Zhao family around him."

"Otherwise, he wouldn't have been so angry that he vomited blood and fainted."

"If I go through this again, my health will definitely be much worse than before."

"Even if there are great doctors in the capital who can keep her alive, if she is not properly cared for, her body will inevitably deteriorate faster."

Wang Shang snorted and laughed: "Don't forget what she is going to do in Beijing this time!" Jiao Niang blinked, not quite understanding.

"She is now the embroiderer appointed by the emperor to sew wedding clothes for Jiang Wei."

"Although the date of Jiang Wei's wedding has not been determined, the marriage was granted by the imperial decree, so naturally the emperor's wishes are the most important."

"The timing of this wedding can naturally be fast or slow."

"If the wedding date is set very hastily, then the embroiderer who is responsible for sewing the wedding dress will have to work hard to avoid delaying the wedding date and being held accountable for the crime of disrespect."

"If a person who is already physically weak and depressed continues to burn his life like this, it is only a matter of time before he runs out of energy."

But the emperor would not let Jiang Anning die easily.

It is impossible for a person to die prematurely, at least before the age of twenty-five.

He was afraid that the prophecy would come true!

What was waiting for Jiang An Ning was nothing but illness and pain, on the verge of death, yet someone was holding her life on, unable to live or die!
Jiao Niang suddenly became even more suspicious.

Wang Shang... Does this man hope that Jiang An Ning will die or live?

Why is she confused again?

Wang Shang noticed the confusion on Jiao Niang's face, thinking that he must have fooled her, and he quietly relaxed.

"Go do something."

He said calmly, "I'm going to Taotie Tower to see Wanniang."

Jiao Niang had not yet come to her senses from her daze. She just said "oh oh" twice and watched the man stride out of the yard.
-
Beijing.

"You haven't found any news yet?"

Jiang Wei looked at Shengji who came in dejectedly, and he had already made up his mind.

"The subordinates are incompetent."

The achievements were also very frustrating.

These people exhausted all their energy and spent more than half a year investigating the matter, but still found nothing.

To this day, no one knows who Princess Shaoan is.

The Marquis Jiang'an Mansion has now become a topic of conversation and a joke for everyone in the capital.

"You are indeed incompetent."

Jiang Wei was filled with rage and had no place to vent it, so he kicked Sheng Ji hard on the shoulder as he was kneeling on the ground.

But he also knew that at this moment he could do nothing but feel helpless and furious.

"Keep checking."

Jiang Wei narrowed his eyes: "I just don't believe that with a clear marriage target, he can still disappear without a trace."

"If that's the case, then to whom was the imperial edict sent?"

"It's not possible that the imperial decree granting marriage was given unilaterally to me, right?"

"Are you going to make me marry the air?"

"It's just ridiculous!"

Jiang Wei was extremely furious.

I really don’t know what the person in the palace is planning.

Cat and mouse? -
In the palace.

"Are you still not going to announce who Princess Shao'an is?"

The beautiful woman sitting opposite Zhao Tan washed and boiled tea with smooth and graceful movements.

"Could it be that you haven't decided yet who will be the Princess of Shao'an?"

There was a hint of playfulness in the peaceful expression between the woman's eyebrows.

“I really haven’t thought about it yet.”

Zhao Tan's thoughts were exposed, but he didn't seem angry at all.

Instead, he smiled and said, "The one who knows his son best is his mother!"

The beautiful woman glared at him and said, "Don't make too much trouble."

"The Sang family is nothing to be afraid of."

"But the Imperial Master's Mansion has been thriving on this land for hundreds of years."

"Ever since Emperor Taizu, the Imperial Master's Mansion has been treated with great courtesy."

"The Zhao family was able to gain this world, and the Imperial Master's Mansion played an indispensable role."

"It's just a minor fight, it won't really offend anyone."

"But if the noise goes too far..."

The beautiful woman glanced at Zhao Tan and said, "Xie Lan is now the only remaining direct descendant of the Imperial Master's Mansion."

"Nothing can happen to her."

"Otherwise, if we provoke the revenge of the Imperial Master's Mansion, we will perish together. I'm afraid you and I will be powerless to resist."

Zhao Tan replied respectfully, and said with a smile, "Sons always listen to their mother."

The beautiful woman sneered: "It would be strange if you would listen to me."

"You speak in a clever way."

"What's in your heart?"

She was slightly angry: "You know best what you are thinking."

"I didn't let you do that kind of despicable thing to Concubine Jiang. After all, she's the poor woman who gave birth to your children and whose heart is tied to you. Why did you have to do that?"

"But how did you do it?"

"He promised well, but behind his back he didn't even let his own children go!"

"Even a tiger won't eat its own cubs. You are violating the will of heaven by doing this. You will be punished sooner or later!"

The beautiful woman glared at Zhao Tan, full of displeasure and contempt.

Zhao Tan didn't care: "What's the point of retribution?"

"I am the sky, the sky for all the people in this world. As long as I don't care, how can I hurt the harmony of the sky?"

He took the half-drunk cup of tea from the beautiful woman and said, "Don't worry too much, mother!"

"After all these years, am I not still alive and well?"

"There is no retribution."

"Those are just little tricks used by incompetent people to deceive themselves."

"How can you take it seriously?"

"I hold the power of the world in my hands. Is there anything I cannot do?"

Zhao Tan smiled calmly: "It's time for the Imperial Master's Mansion to make way for you."

"Otherwise, the world knows to fear the emperor, but the officials and noble families are more afraid of the Imperial Master's Mansion. Wouldn't that make me a joke?"

The beautiful woman said sternly: "The Imperial Master's Mansion has assisted Dajing for hundreds of years and has a noble status. It has always been like this..."

"It has always been like this, so what?"

Zhao Tan interrupted him unhappily: "I want to break this long-standing rule!"

"I am above all others!"

"I am God!"

"The sky above the sky!"

Seeing that he was completely stubborn and stubborn, the beautiful woman knew she could not persuade him.

"That's it, that's all."

"Whatever you like, do it."

"At worst, we can die together as mother and son when you anger the gods!"
