Song of Peach Blossoms: Alluring Princess

Chapter 212
The prime minister's mansion where the Jiang family lives now is the house that the Liu family was fined and confiscated, so the yards they entered several times before and after are also deep.The Jiang family hadn't added any more staff since they came to the capital, so it seemed that the yard was empty and few people left.

Mrs. Jiang decided to find a prostitute to buy some servants. On this day, the prostitute brought people to the door for selection, and Jiang Chenzhi happened to pass by the flower hall with nothing to do.He saw a nanny who was in charge of the mother's warehouse in a mansion hiding at the small door and peeking into the crowd. He waved his hand and asked his followers to come over and explain a few words.

He went back to the yard when his entourage went down to do some business, and asked the maid who was serving him to go and have a look in that nanny's room quietly.

After making arrangements for him to sit leisurely and drink tea under the eaves of the porch, it has been more than ten days since Shen Yu asked him to check the letter carefully.He didn't have a clue yet, but it was strange to say that he hadn't thought about the Fang family for several days because of his busy schedule.

He checked, and my mother had the habit of storing old things, whether valuable or worthless, as long as she thought it was meaningful, she would store them.The aunt's letters were kept together with her past things, and they had never been moved until the day she dug them out.

And the only ones who can move these things are the mother and the nanny in charge of the warehouse. He believes that if Song Miaojin was really arranged by someone else, it should start in Sucheng.

This is a long-term and covert conspiracy.

The girl rummaged through Mammy's room and found nothing suspicious, only got back a letter signed in the capital, the address was vague and even the content was vague.Looking like a person talking nonsense, Jiang Chenzhi took the letter and put it in his arms without being able to figure it out.

"My lord, if you don't understand, just ask Mother Jiang to find out."

"Who said I don't understand, I'm waiting for her to show her feet now, you know?" Jiang Chenzhi twitched his eyes twice and waved his hand to signal the girl to go out.He really can't understand this letter!

The selection of the servants in the front yard was almost over, Mammy Jiang took a chance and pulled a girl out of the crowd, and the two hid in a corner.

"Why did you come in? Is the money I gave not enough, or is your father forcing you again?"

The little girl broke away from Mammy Jiang's restraint and rubbed her arms, "Brother Xiaochun said that I was idle at home, so I might as well take this opportunity to work in Jiang's mansion, so that I can help you."

"What can I help you with? Go away." Mother Jiang paused and gritted her teeth and said, "Xiaochun is not a good person. I told you not to associate with him a long time ago. Why didn't you listen?"

"What's wrong with him? He works in the palace, and the steward likes him very much, and he said he wants to be promoted to be a steward? He can marry me when he becomes a steward."

"Is that good for him? It's because he has you, me, and the Jiang family behind him."

"I don't care, how good the Jiang Mansion is, and there are not many adults in the yard. It's better to work here than to stay at home and watch daddy's face every day." After the little girl finished speaking, she turned and walked into the group of girls waiting to be assigned the yard.Mother Jiang stomped her feet.

At the second gate of Prince Rui's mansion, Xiaochun, a young servant, laughed and discussed with the butler about being the steward, "Didn't you promise to be promoted to be the steward?"

"I promise you, but you have to show it's useful."

"Didn't that small thing be done for you?"

The housekeeper stared at him, "It rots in your stomach, dare to reveal half a word, I will let you die without a whole body."

Xiaochun swallowed a mouthful of saliva and was a little scared. He pursed his lips and said boldly: "Although my cousin doesn't want to see me again, I have already persuaded my cousin to enter Jiangfu, and I promise to do things for you in the future."

"Then let's see what you can come up with? At that time, not to mention a small butler, even the butler can let you do it."

Xiaochun nodded and bowed and said yes, the butler looked at his back and curled his lips. He didn't know the heights of the world, but he still wanted to be a steward, so go dreaming!
Prime Minister Jiang has been rather troubled recently. Regarding the question of the imperial court's promotion of officials from the local area to Beijing, the emperor has repeatedly urged him to ask, but he has not yet come up with a result.

Xiao Yan watched closely, Xiao Ruiming secretly told him to think carefully, and even Xiao Quan sent lobbyists to find out what he said.So this anxiety was brought home.

It was night, and Prime Minister Jiang's study was missed by people. The person hiding in the dark watched the sneaky figure push the study door and closed it, and slapped three times. The thief took a ready-made one.

Mother Jiang was woken up from her sleep, and when she saw her daughter being tied up in the flower hall, she knew that there was something wrong.

Jiang Chenzhi looked at Nanny Jiang, "Has the Jiang family ever treated you badly? Now they have teamed up with their own daughter to guard and steal from themselves. Do you know what she is looking at? It is a court secret that the emperor ordered to keep secret. She is also resisting Failure to comply with the order is a crime."

"Young master, I beg you, I beg you, Yan'er is young and ignorant, she only knows a few big characters, how dare she peek at the court's secrets? She must have no intention..."

Crack, Jiang Chen slapped his palm on the table, "Will this young master call you here if he has no proof? Mother Jiang, do you know a servant named Xiaochun in Prince Rui's residence? If you do, ask your daughter, Did she see Xiaochun in the alley behind Fugui Lane yesterday afternoon?"

"Yan'er..." Mother Jiang lay on the ground dejectedly, tears streaming down her face, "You, you are so confused!"

Jiang Chenzhi looked at these two people with cold eyes, and he still kept silent about the past, how forgetful he was!

Xiaochun came to the agreed place and did not wait for Yan'er, but was tied up by Jiang Chenzhi's men and taken into the little black room.Such people are often life-threatening.So in a short while he told everything, including asking Nanny Jiang to look through Mrs. Jiang's old things a year ago.

As soon as Xiaochun finished speaking, Mother Jiang, who was separated by the black curtain, knew that something had happened to her.Mother Jiang admitted that she read the letter and told Xiaochun the result, but she didn't know what happened afterwards, and she didn't know Song Miaojin either.

Jiang Chenzhi gently knocked on the table next door and said to the displeased Shen Yu, "The matter is basically clear. Xiao Rui used this to design you, but you have no evidence to prove that Song Miaojin was also arranged by him. If Is Song Miaojin real? Is she just going to Beijing at this time to find relatives?"

"Do you believe that there are so many coincidences! Besides, Xiao Rui would never use someone who is not under his control, so no matter whether Song Miaojin is the one who really has a marriage contract with me, she must have reached some kind of tacit understanding with Xiao Rui .”

"Now I don't need to do anything. Naturally, she can't help being in touch with Xiao Rui."

"Since you have nothing to do, I'll tell you one more thing. I've been running around to inquire about things these days, and you must be interested in one of them." Jiang Chen looked at Shen Yu pretending to be mysterious and said, "Old man Xiao Changfeng, the second son of the Wang family, has taken a fancy to Su Tiange, and the old concubine is asking someone to marry her."
