The Prince of Zhennan was already very good at speaking, but the new Master Wei San was even more shrewd. He spoke a lot of flattering words, as if they were free, and he praised the man highly without offending him.
Jiang Songwen was almost annoyed by what he heard, but he had to endure it. He didn't come here to cause trouble today. If he took the initiative to cause trouble, he would be handing Wei An and the others a handle. He would not do such a stupid thing.
What's more, even if each of these people is a smart person, when combined together, they are still too young compared to his father.
After so many years in the officialdom, Jiang Zining has learned that he should be thick-skinned. The words of the Prince of Zhennan and the others passed by in his ears in a flash. He listened and nodded seriously. After nodding, he still talked about the previous things: "Speaking of which, although the Ministry of Justice and the Dali Temple have investigated and proved that my son did not participate in the murder of the princess, it is still because my son did not manage his subordinates strictly and did not know people well, so this happened. He can't even manage a servant, how can he manage the construction of the world? Although the prince and you are magnanimous, this is your temperament, and he should pay the price for his mistakes..."
Wei Yangqing frowned. He was not as smooth as Master Wei San and the Prince of Zhennan. He looked at Jiang Zining who was chattering in front of him, but just stared at Jiang Songwen. He suddenly interrupted Jiang Zining and asked Jiang Songwen: "Master Jiang just said that these things were unintentional and had nothing to do with you, but I heard..."
Before he finished speaking, the Prince of Zhennan rolled up his hands and coughed, raising his eyebrows at him: "Whether it was unintentional or not, Lord Jiang himself knows that it was because of him that this happened, and he came to apologize in person. Let's just leave it at that."
He smiled and nodded at Jiang Zining and Jiang Songwen: "We are not unreasonable people. We will not let go of those who harmed An An. However, since the matter has nothing to do with Lord Jiang, we have no reason to keep holding Lord Jiang to death. Therefore, you two don't have to worry about making enemies. Since there is no hatred, where can we make enemies?"
The coldness in Jiang Songwen's eyes could no longer be concealed, and he glanced at Jiang Zining with some impatience.
Jiang Zining was still very calm. He originally wanted to come here when Shen Chen was not around, thinking that Wei An, a woman, would not be able to handle it, so he would take the opportunity to cause trouble.
However, they did not expect Wei An's reaction to be so timely. While calming them down, he also went to invite Prince Zhennan and several masters of the Wei family.
It was obvious that she had anticipated this and knew they would come, so she had already made preparations.
With such scheming and tactics, it’s no wonder that Lu Yuanrong and his men were defeated by her one after another.
It's incredible. If a man has this kind of character, it would be very scary.
He thought of this and was too lazy to say anything else. He stood up and nodded with a smile: "Since you said so, I feel relieved. Our two families don't have any hatred. Even if we don't have a relationship, it's not to the extent of hiring someone to harm the princess. We are just afraid that you and the princess will misunderstand. Since you know everything, then... we have nothing more to say. Sorry for bothering you."
The Prince of Zhennan waved his hand, knowing that they were about to leave, and smiled and said, "There is no misunderstanding. Those who are innocent will be innocent."
Then he and several brothers from the Wei family politely saw them out.
Jiang Songwen felt as sick as if he had eaten a fly. As soon as he went out, he could not help shouting "Father". He quickly walked up to him, helped him get into the sedan chair, and then followed him into the sedan chair - the Prime Minister's sedan chair was designed so that it could accommodate four or five people without feeling crowded.
As soon as he got on the sedan chair, he couldn't help complaining: "This Prince of Zhennan is too weird. What are those words he said? They are clearly pointed out..."
Jiang Zining was still calm, he closed his eyes and did not speak.
Jiang Songwen looked at his expression and couldn't help but said, "Dad, please say something. Didn't you say before that you wanted to make them angry? But look at them, how can they be angry? They are all good at talking. I think they are all old foxes!"
Jiang Zining stroked his beard, and waited until the sedan turned a corner and entered another street before he said slowly, "Why are you in such a hurry? If you are not angry, then don't be angry. If you are not angry, there are naturally other ways to not be angry. If you are so impatient, what great things can you do?"
It sounds simple, but Jiang Songwen was holding back his anger. He always felt that his father was doing useless work. He talked better than he sang, but if you asked him if he had done anything serious, he hadn't accomplished anything. Just like today, he said he would go when Shen Chen was not around, but there were only a few women in the palace, so there would always be loopholes to exploit. However, he didn't expect to suffer a loss in the first thing.
Now they say there is another way, he asked gloomily: "What other way is there?!"
He was beginning to wonder how his father had been able to sit on the prime minister's seat for so long, and why the solutions he came up with were so ineffective and had no effect at all.
Jiang Zining glanced at him, paused, and suddenly seemed to realize something, and lifted the curtain.
Jiang Songwen felt strange and heard the sound of horse hooves passing by outside. He frowned and looked outside with him. In broad daylight, who would dare to ride a horse on such a crowded street
He followed his father's gaze, but only caught a glimpse of a silhouette. He couldn't help but sigh: "Isn't this the Marquis of Pingxi? He ran so fast..."
After thinking about it, he understood why Shen Chen ran so quickly. He must have heard the news of their coming, so he couldn't wait to return to the palace quickly, fearing that they would let Wei An suffer any loss.
It turned out that she cared about Wei An as much as the rumors said. It seemed that Shen Chen had personally requested this marriage.
He felt a little regretful that the previous thing did not work out. Otherwise, if Wei An really died, then looking at how nervous Shen Chen was about Wei An, he would definitely be depressed for a while as he expected.
If he seizes this opportunity, he will naturally have a lot of options and means to do things, and he won't have to be caught off guard like he is now.
Jiang Zining's eyes gradually became dim and unclear in Shen Chen's back. After a long while, he lowered the curtain and smiled: "Young people, it's inevitable, it's inevitable."
Jiang Songwen didn't know what his father meant. Seeing his unhurried attitude, he became even more anxious: "Father, what do you mean? I don't think you take this matter seriously at all..." (To be continued)
