My family has been wielding knives for generations, but now it's my turn to wield a pen!

what?

Liu Guanlan looked at Jiang Xiaobai, and his expression froze for a moment.

What does that mean?

Is Jiang Xiaobai planning to have the Princess massage his arms?

Are you kidding me?!

That's right, the princess is of noble birth, how could she possibly massage Jiang Xiaobai's shoulders?

Thinking of this, Liu Guanlan hurriedly stood up: "Young Master Jiang, let me help you with the kneading!"

"No, no, no!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Xiaobai quickly shook his head: "I can't possibly be worthy of the title of Pavilion Master Liu!"

"..."

Liu Guanlan's lips twitched slightly.

Yes, he'd rather it were him!

Jiang Xiaobai pointed again in the direction of the Eldest Princess: "Her!"

"Master Liu, why don't you let her demonstrate? My shoulders are really sore right now!"

"this……"

Liu Guanlan looked embarrassed and glanced in the direction of the Princess, feeling a chill run down his spine.

How is he supposed to gesture like that?

Could it be that the eldest princess is really going to let Jiang Xiaobai have her molded?

Seeing that Jiang Xiaobai was looking at him, Liu Guanlan had no choice but to bite the bullet and gently pat the princess's arm.

After the princess turned around, Liu Guanlan made some random gestures.

He didn't know what he was gesturing at; his mind was completely blank.

The princess raised her head, her gaze falling on Jiang Xiaobai, and her jade-like hand clenched tightly.

But after a moment, the princess nodded, stood up, and walked behind Jiang Xiaobai.

Tang Ningshuang watched this scene from the side, her heart filled with shock.

That's right, she remembered Jiang Xiaobai saying that this deaf-mute woman should be the eldest princess.

If that's true, then Jiang Xiaobai is incredibly audacious!

That's definitely a close-range, high-damage attack!

At this moment, the princess placed her hand on Jiang Xiaobai's shoulder and gently massaged it.

Jiang Xiaobai leaned back there and hummed comfortably twice.

"Tsk tsk..."

"Great, great, wow, that little bit of force is really cool!"

As he spoke, Jiang Xiaobai opened his eyes and looked at Liu Guanlan, whose face was full of tension, saying, "See? This guy is professional, isn't he? It's so comfortable!"

"Master Liu, you should try it later too!"

"No, no, no!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Guanlan shook his head vigorously, like a rattle-drum: "I wouldn't dare..."

As soon as he said it, Liu Guanlan realized something was wrong and coughed, "Ahem, what I meant was, my shoulders aren't sore!"

"oh!"

Jiang Xiaobai shook his head, looking regretful: "That's such a pity!"

Liu Guanlan smiled and sat back down.

He didn't feel any regret at all.

Yes, if the princess really massages his shoulders, he probably won't be able to sleep tonight.

Jiang Xiaobai leaned back, picked up his teacup, took a sip, and looked up at Liu Guanlan, saying, "Master Liu, before stating my results, may I mention three more conditions?"

"Oh?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Guanlan's expression immediately became more serious.

It's good to have the conditions!

The fact that there are conditions means that Jiang Xiaobai has already begun to consider agreeing.

Thinking of this, Liu Guanlan immediately nodded and said, "Young Master Jiang, please speak freely!"

"The first condition."

Jiang Xiaobai put down his teacup and slowly said, "I want information on the Eldest Princess!"

what?

Upon hearing this, Liu Guanlan's expression froze for a moment.

Jiang Xiaobai could clearly feel that the hands behind him gripping his shoulders had tightened considerably.

hiss!

Jiang Xiaobai gasped.

This woman... she's got some strength!

However, Jiang Xiaobai forced himself to keep a straight face and didn't show anything.

"Ahem!"

Liu Guanlan's expression was somewhat unnatural. He coughed lightly and said, "I wonder what Young Master Jiang needs the Princess's information for?"

"To be honest!"

Jiang Xiaobai leaned back, his face serious, and said, "I suspect that the incidents involving my eldest and second brothers are related to the Eldest Princess!"

Ok?

Liu Guanlan was visibly taken aback and asked, "Young Master Jiang, what makes you say that?"

"oh!"

Jiang Xiaobai's eyes flickered slightly as he said, "My father once showed me a letter written in blood."

"It clearly says above... 'Beware of the Eldest Princess!'"

"And this eldest princess... sigh, she has deliberately tried to get close to me on several occasions!"

At this point, Jiang Xiaobai shook his head and said, "They clearly have ulterior motives towards me!!"

That's right, the eldest princess is right here.

To find out the specifics, we can test the waters. If there are real problems, then we can pretend to cooperate.

If there are no problems, then we can sincerely cooperate.

In this way... it can be considered as leaving the Marquis's mansion a way out for the time being!

"impossible!"

Liu Guanlan spoke urgently at first, but then, as if remembering something, he softened his voice and said, "Young Master Jiang, the matter between the Eldest Princess and your eldest and second brothers should have nothing to do with each other!"

"I think... there must be some misunderstanding, right?"

"Oh? Master Liu, what makes you say that?"

Jiang Xiaobai looked at Liu Guanlan and asked.

"As far as I know..."

Liu Guanlan said, "When your eldest and second brothers had their accidents, the Eldest Princess was in the capital!"

"Heh, but being in the capital doesn't necessarily mean I can't... arrange things, does it?"

Jiang Xiaobai's expression didn't change much after hearing this.

That's right, this matter could have been arranged in advance and wouldn't have affected the princess herself.

"What you say is not wrong!"

Liu Guanlan paused for a moment: "But... well, at least based on my understanding of the Eldest Princess, this matter should have nothing to do with her."

"Of course, if you need information about the Eldest Princess, I can compile a copy for you!"

"Can!"

Jiang Xiaobai nodded slightly.

Putting everything else aside, judging from Liu Guanlan's reaction, this matter... may really have nothing to do with the Eldest Princess.

Moreover, barring any unforeseen circumstances, Liu Guanlan should know the exact reason.

But he didn't say it, perhaps because he was afraid of revealing his identity.

But if it has nothing to do with the eldest princess, then where did the blood letter come from, and why was it addressed to the eldest princess?

This is somewhat suspicious!

However, he didn't press the matter for the moment, but instead continued, "As for my second condition, I want detailed information on the Ministry of Justice!"

"Chief Justice of the Ministry of Justice?"

Liu Guanlan asked in surprise, "Zhao Bintian?"

"That's right!"

Jiang Xiaobai nodded: "The more detailed the better, and also..."

"That Zhao Sheng who serves the Princess isn't any better; give me a share too!"

The fact that the Chief Justice of the Ministry of Justice would send someone to assassinate him at this moment is clearly suspicious.

Zhao Sheng, who specifically conspired with Chen Zhanqiu to scheme against him, is clearly also problematic.

Therefore, he must investigate thoroughly.

As Jiang Xiaobai finished speaking, Liu Guanlan raised an eyebrow and glanced at the Princess.

Seeing that the princess didn't show any obvious reaction, Liu Guanlan nodded and said, "Alright, I'll help you organize this too!"

"Um!"

Jiang Xiaobai responded but didn't say anything more, instead slowly sipping his tea.

"Young Master Jiang..."

Seeing that Jiang Xiaobai had suddenly fallen silent, Liu Guanlan grew anxious and took the initiative to speak, "What about the third condition?"

"Oh, the third condition..."

Jiang Xiaobai smiled and said, "I feel like I have a special connection with this deaf-mute maid!"

"Could you please tell your little princess?"

At this point, Jiang Xiaobai pointed to the eldest princess behind him and said, "Let her be my personal maid..."
