Although Jiang Songwen is not as smart as his father and often acts like a cow, he is able to let go of things at times like this.
Although he had never been so submissive as the son of the Prime Minister, when he thought about the benefits and peace that he would gain from doing so, it was not so unbearable.
What's more, just after he was ready, his father sent him a message the next day, saying that he would go with him.
Since his father is with him, it goes without saying. He laughed privately with Dong Chengqi: "Wei An and Shen Chen can only be proud for a while. After this period is over, I will watch how they die. Let them be proud for a while."
Dong Chengqi naturally understood the purpose of Jiang Zining's actions. Seeing that Jiang Songwen had swept away his previous anxiety and became confident and unrestrained, he also smiled in response. After laughing, he reminded him again: "Don't be too proud too soon. You know, even if the King of Linjiang is really not a big deal, the old lady of the Wei family still has some status in front of the emperor. Not to mention the Third Young Master Lin. Therefore, when you go back this time, try to be respectful. No matter what, there are only benefits, no harm."
Jiang Songwen didn't like what he heard and sneered, but he didn't say anything else. After all, he really wanted to apologize this time, and of course he would endure it if he could, so he obediently waved at Dong Chengqi to indicate that he understood.
Then she reminded him, "By the way, take care of Yunniang's situation for me, don't let anything go wrong."
When he talked about this, he sighed as if he felt a little sorry: "Zou Qing has been with me for so long, and he has really helped me a lot. I was thinking that I would help him and Yun Niang get together, but who knew that now..."
Dong Chengqi sat down next to him, and he also sighed when he heard what he said, "I wouldn't have remembered it if you hadn't mentioned it. Speaking of which, Yunniang has helped you a lot this time. She went to find Xu Anying's son. Mr. Xu San is a passionate man. He failed to marry Yunniang at the beginning, so his marriage has always been awkward. In the end, he still has Yunniang in his heart. If he hadn't reached out this time, you wouldn't have told Zou Qing so easily, and told Zou Qing to be careful with what he said."
"I know." Jiang Songwen felt uncomfortable when he thought of Zou Qing and Yun Niang. After a while, he said, "I am sorry to Zou Qing. This time he took the blame for me and lost his life. As for Yun Niang, you can help her if you can. Just send her away."
Dong Chengqi raised his eyebrows: "You're not going to kill her?"
"Why would you kill her?" Jiang Songwen shook his head. "Zou Qing has a family. Yunniang is a person who values friendship the most. Since Zou Qing has entrusted her with the task of taking care of the old and the young, she will definitely do it and will not go out and talk nonsense. Considering the relationship between Zou Qing and me, please take care of them more and send them away."
The world is so big, there is always a place for them to stay.
Dong Chengqi had no objection. To him, these people would not affect their future affairs anyway, so it was no big deal. He could keep them or send them away, as long as they did not cause any harm.
He hummed and agreed, "I see. Don't worry. Get out early. The old man is probably almost gone. The Prime Minister and his son are here to apologize together. It's such a grand ceremony. Don't let someone pick on you. That would be bad."
Jiang Songwen nodded, confirming that nothing was wrong, said goodbye to Dong Chengqi and went out. Sure enough, when he arrived at the gate of Prince Zheng's Mansion, the old man's sedan chair arrived almost at the same time, so he hurriedly got off the sedan chair and helped the old man out.
Jiang Zining put his hand on his, got off the sedan tremblingly, raised his head and glanced at the plaque of Prince Zheng's Palace. There was no expression on his face, but there was a flash of coldness in his eyes.
It's just a palace with nothing in sight. Even when King Zheng was still alive, it would have been extremely difficult to confront a powerful minister like him.
Besides, King Zheng is no longer here.
Shen Chen and Wei An did have some abilities, but to him, an old hand in the officialdom, those abilities were nothing more than some shabby tricks that were not worthy of being shown on the stage.
If he wanted to deal with them, it wouldn't be easy, but it wouldn't be difficult either.
Just like now, as the prime minister of a dynasty, he came to apologize in person, and the two of them didn't know whether they could bear it or not.
He raised his hand to stop the servant who wanted to go up and talk to the gatekeeper, and went forward himself and said to the gatekeepers and guards in a very approachable manner: "Please go in and inform them that Jiang has brought his unfilial son to apologize to Princess Zheng, Princess Shouning, and Marquis Pingxi."
The doorman had already recognized that the sedan chair was unusual. When he heard him introduce himself, his eyebrows jumped twice. He didn't dare to say a word. He bowed and ran in to report.
Jiang Songwen and his father stood at the door, feeling somewhat frustrated. After all, in the past, only people came to their door to ask the doorman to inform them, and they had never been treated like this.
But when he saw that his old man was so patient, he couldn't help but calm down. His father was the Prime Minister, and if the Prime Minister could still keep his temper, what was he afraid of
They were able to keep calm here, but Princess Zheng who heard the news was suddenly shocked. There was no man at home, so they were extremely cautious in entertaining guests. Except for close friends, almost no one would be so tactless as to come to their house directly.
Recently, even if Shen Chen was in the mansion, the mansion was clearly divided. Shen Chen never entered the second gate. Even when he went to Wei An's yard, there were groups of people following him, just to avoid gossip.
Princess Zheng had never received such an important official before. She felt even more troubled when she heard that it was the Prime Minister. She hurriedly asked Ding Xiang to inform Shen Chen and Wei An.
Shen Chen is not here. He went to the palace early this morning.
Wei An was the only one left at home.
Princess Zheng couldn't help but feel a little nervous: "If it was an ordinary female relative, it would be fine, I could just entertain her anyway, but it happened that the Prime Minister came in person, and there is no man to entertain guests. Do I have to entertain them in person? What would that look like?"
There has never been such a precedent in the capital. Even if there is, it is in the homes of widows who have lost their husbands, and such cases are very rare.
Princess Zheng was so anxious that she finally said, "Why not go and tell Lord Jiang that it is not convenient for us to stay here right now and ask him to wait until the prince comes back..." (To be continued)
