Chapter 339

Mrs. An did not comment on the county magistrate's analysis.

"From what I know, Jiang Anning doesn't seem like a simple-minded person."

A person with simple minds would not be able to survive to this day.

"As for whether it is smart or not, it is not easy to judge."

The county magistrate was quite confident when he heard this: "I have handled her case with Zhao Hai. If she is smart, how could she be so easily deceived by someone like Zhao Hai?"

"I don't believe how smart she is."

"You can't say that all the stupidity she showed before was just pretend, right?"

Mrs. An raised her eyebrows: "Why can't you say it?"

"How do you know she wasn't pretending before?"

The county magistrate was greatly surprised and exclaimed, "Ah!"

Mrs. An's expression turned cold: "I thought it was strange before, but now that I think about it carefully, isn't it full of loopholes?"

"How did you say that?"

The county magistrate cupped his hands and said, "Please, Madam An, if you can give me some advice."

Madam An took a sip of tea and said slowly, "You also said that if she wasn't stupid, she wouldn't have been deceived by Zhao Hai's family."

"But if they were really cheated, why would they suddenly report it to the government and make the whole Jiang'an County know about it?"

"Nowadays, the fact that Jiang Anning was cheated by Zhao Hai's family is still talked about by the people of Jiang'an County."

"Of course, you can also say that she suddenly discovered through clues that she had been deceived."

"But how could things in this world be so coincidental?"

"Why did you discover it at this time, instead of earlier or later?"

"After eight years of lying dormant, it's still unclear who is the real joke being followed!"

This is a mockery of Wang Shang and Jiang Wei.

"Why does a person suddenly change his temperament so drastically? What do you think is the reason?"

Mrs. An smiled and said, "It can't be that this person has already lived a lifetime and experienced everything he should have experienced, so when he is reborn, he discovers everything and understands everything."

It has to be said that her ideas overlap with those of Wang Shang Jiaoniang.

It was almost there, and I got the correct answer.

Unfortunately, I understood the question and used the correct formula, but the result was wrong.

The county magistrate was thoughtful: "So, Madam An thinks that Jiang Anning's previous innocence and stupidity were all fake?"

This is impossible, right?
If these are all fake...

Doesn't that mean that Jiang Anning is very cunning despite his young age?

Mrs. An smiled and said nothing.

She didn't care whether the county magistrate believed it or not.

On the contrary, it would be better if the county magistrate did not believe it.

Anyway, she has already reminded everyone she should have, and no one can say that she, as an ally, did not give any advice.

The county magistrate insisted on not believing it, and there was nothing she could do.

You can't let her say that her daughter is not her biological daughter.

Her biological daughter had long since disappeared.

For so many years, she just pretended to know nothing.

She hid it very well.

So many years have passed, and no one has discovered this secret.

As a result, Jiang Anning discovered something was wrong within just one month of doing embroidery work in the mansion.

Not only did she discover something was wrong, she also keenly found out whose biological daughter the fake daughter she was raising was.

He is so sharp and doesn't look like someone who would be fooled by Zhao Hai's family.

We can't say how smart Zhao Hai's family is or how good they are at disguising themselves.

If he was really that capable, how could he suddenly reveal his true colors and be caught by Jiang An Ning, suddenly being brought to court and catching everyone off guard.

Originally - designing a marriage between Jiang An Ning and Zhao Hai's family, and using such an excellent family to torture Jiang An Ning, was the proudest thing for Wang Shang and his ilk.

Wang Shang didn't know how long he had been bragging about this proud thing in front of them.

But if this is the case, there is really no need to tell the county magistrate.

They are just allies now.

As interests come together, they will naturally disperse.

This kind of relationship is really undesirable.
-
Beijing.

"How about I give the title of Princess Shao'an to Jiang An Ning?"

Emperor Zhao Tan looked at the old-fashioned and serious middle-aged man in front of him with a frivolous tone.

When the man heard this, his eyes widened for a moment, but soon returned to normal, as if the emotional outburst just now was just an illusion.

"This is the emperor's family affair, so naturally I have no right to interfere."

Zhao Tan hummed, "Really?"

"But now I see that the people in the Marquis Jiang'an Mansion have begun to suspect that Princess Shao'an is from your Imperial Master's Mansion."

He raised his eyebrows, even with a hint of provocation: "Aren't you worried or concerned about this?"

"If I confer the title of Princess Shao'an on Jiang Anning, the Marquis of Jiang'an would probably think that the death of Concubine Jiang was related to your Imperial Master's Mansion."

Even the man's face changed and he glared at people: "What do you mean?"

Do you want to push him out now and use him as a scapegoat?
"Don't forget what you promised me!"

"You were also involved in the matter with Concubine Jiang! If it really gets out, I'm not afraid of wearing shoes anyway. I just don't know if the emperor can sleep peacefully in the future when the Jiang Marquis's family regards him as a thorn in their side and wants to get rid of him every day, with such a deep hatred between them!"

Zhao Tan laughed twice.

"Look at your personality. It hasn't changed after all these years."

"Why are you so impatient?"

"I was just talking and haven't taken any action yet, but you're already making such harsh remarks. Aren't you afraid that I'll harbor a grudge and take the initiative to attack you?"

"Yes, you are not afraid of those wearing shoes if you are barefoot... But have you forgotten? There is a saying that goes, 'It is better to strike first than to gain the upper hand!'"

"Or do you think that the Imperial Master's Mansion, without the protection of Wang Gu and the inheritance of secret techniques, still has the ability to challenge me now?"

Zhao Tan sneered: "You are digging your own foundation, how is that different from digging your own grave? Haven't you figured it out over the years?"

"They are all courting death."

"Killing the goose that lays the golden eggs... To be honest, you're the only one like me in all these years."

"I didn't expect that until today you still haven't seen the situation clearly and understood your current situation. It's just like the overturned nest... Do you really think that there will be eggs left intact when the nest is overturned?"

"Could it be that you have only grown older over the years without growing any smarter?" "Or has the person in charge of your Imperial Master's Mansion not told you how embarrassing the current situation of the Imperial Master's Mansion is?"

Zhao Tan clicked his tongue a few times, full of sarcasm: "It seems that the head of the Imperial Master's Mansion is quite foresighted."

"At least you know that it's really hard for a fool like you to take on such a big responsibility!"

"But it's a pity that the person in charge of the Imperial Master's Mansion is too smart and didn't pass it on to you. This makes things a little tricky for me."

"Otherwise, if my opponent was you, my elite cavalry would have already flattened your Imperial Master's Mansion!"

Zhao Tan snorted and laughed: "How can I give you the opportunity to act stupid in front of me?"

"you!"

The middle-aged man was very angry. He slammed the table and stood up, pointing at Zhao Tan with trembling fingers. However, he was forced to take his hand back in shame under the other party's coercion.

"You don't have to speak so harshly."

"Haven't we already learned from each other's abilities back then?"

"You can't do anything to me, and I can't do anything to you."

"That's right. The Imperial Master's Mansion has indeed lost its protection due to Wang Gu's departure. There are no outstanding successors in the younger generation, and it is gradually declining."

"But so what?"

"You can destroy the Imperial Master's Mansion...but can you kill the people there?"

The middle-aged man also sneered and said sarcastically: "Didn't Sang Jingwan's words before she died make you deeply afraid for eight years?"

“It’s already the ninth year…”

He paused and chuckled a few times: "How come you don't dare to kill Jiang Anning when you are so capable?"

“You’re afraid too.”

"You're afraid that what Sang Jingwan said will come true!"

"Are you afraid that Sang Jingwan will come back to life!"

"Because people like us, even if we can't reverse the adverse situation, can drag you to hell with us."

"No matter how powerful you are in words, as long as you are still afraid of death and unwilling to die, you will always be afraid of people like us."

"I am afraid of Sang Jingwan, and everyone in the Imperial Master's Mansion."

"Because you don't know, even if you chop off our heads, there might be some hidden hand that will take our lives away in our sleep."

The middle-aged man sneered and looked at Zhao Tan as if he was a poor creature.

"You laugh at me for being stupid, but aren't you stupid yourself?"

"During all these years since Sang Jingwan's death, you haven't slept well for a single day, right? You didn't dare to sleep! Because you were afraid that you could bribe Sang Jingwan and make her do things for you, and Concubine Jiang could also bribe her... Especially, Concubine Jiang really loved Sang Jingwan sincerely."

"The thing you fear most in your midnight dream is that the two of them will join forces to kill you."

The middle-aged man taunted, "Are you still confused and puzzled as to why Sang Jingwan knew that this trip would lead to her certain death, and she had the skills to avoid this danger, but she seemed to have done nothing and let you send someone to kill her?"

"You don't think that Sang Jingwan never thought that a treacherous villain like you would not keep your promise and send people to hunt her down, do you?"

Zhao Tan's expression suddenly turned ugly.

He really couldn't figure it out. Sang Jingwan clearly knew everything, but she seemed to know nothing and did not fight back against his pursuit.

And I didn't take any precautions.

It's like... I really believe that he will keep his promise.

But how is it possible?
But he never said such words to anyone else.

They are even more unwilling and unable to show their fear and vulnerability to others.

But now, it was easily exposed and explained by the man in front of her.

Zhao Tan took a deep breath and decided to endure it a little longer.

He now couldn't find a way to deal with the man in front of him.

It doesn’t mean that he won’t be able to find a way to deal with this man in the future.

So what if Sang Jingwan is powerful? So what if she has mysterious abilities?

Hasn't it been buried in the earth and disappeared into thin air now?

"We don't have to talk about useless things."

Zhao Tan regained his composure and said, "I invited you to the palace this time just to ask you, what is the plan of the Imperial Master's Mansion regarding letting Jiang An Ning marry Jiang Wei for Princess Shao An?"

"Your Majesty, this is not to ask whether our country is suitable for this plan, but to ask me if I can help you clear away all obstacles in the Imperial Master's Mansion that do not support this matter."

The middle-aged man sneered: "The emperor used to be a frank and straightforward person. Why is it that after doing a few bad things, he likes to talk more and more in circles?"

Zhao Tan glared at the man, feeling annoyed as if someone had ripped off his fig leaf.

"Then tell me, can this thing be accomplished?"

"Jiang Wei already thinks that Princess Shao'an was born in the Imperial Master's Mansion. I really can't do anything about it. I won't go along with his wishes."

Zhao Tan smiled, a little heartless: "After all, he is Concubine Jiang's brother."

"For the sake of the deep love between Concubine Jiang and me, I should at least fulfill her wish, right?"

"Moreover, Marquis Jiang An obviously prefers that their in-laws be from the Imperial Master's Mansion."

"After all, only in this way, having a powerful son or daughter-in-law, is the best way for the Jiang'an Marquisate to regain its position of power and nobility."

Zhao Tan sighed softly: "My old father-in-law is still harboring evil intentions!"

The middle-aged man sneered: "Don't you hope that he will continue to be so evil?"

"If it is really as you wish, and the children of the Marquis of Jiang'an Mansion and the Imperial Master Mansion become in-laws, it would be much easier for you to use me to collect or frame the traitors of the Marquis of Jiang'an Mansion."

"You can still use Jiang Anning..."

The middle-aged man chuckled a few times and looked at Zhao Tan with contempt.

"If Jiang An Ning is a pure and filial person, once she knows that the death of her parents and her relatives was caused by people from the Jiang An Marquis' Mansion, she will definitely hate Jiang Wei."

"They are already very likely to be a couple who are resentful of each other. If this continues, I'm afraid the couple will become even less harmonious."

"Jiang Anning wants to kill Jiang Wei, but Jiang Wei may not want to kill her!"

"After all, she is the daughter of an enemy. If Jiang Wei hadn't been thinking about finding more evidence of Concubine Jiang's murder from Jiang Anning all these years... especially evidence of your murder, I'm afraid he would have killed Jiang Anning long ago."

"If Jiang Anning enters Jiang Wei's backyard, it will only make it easier for him to take action."

"There's no need to kill him right away."

"After all, there are so many shady tricks going on in the backyard."

"Once a woman enters the harem, she is like a flower waiting to wither. Sooner or later, she will be worn out and decay."

"That lackey of His Majesty suggested finding a bad family for Jiang An Ning, wasn't it for this reason?"

"It's a pity that your Majesty is not that smart."

"They are just some methods that others have used."

The middle-aged man sneered: "How are you better than me?"
