Chapter 101: Father-in-law
Jiang Wei's death surprised many people, including Lin Yunlong.
Lin Yunlong thought about it and felt that this matter was somewhat interesting, so he specially asked Lin Mubai if it was him, but Lin Mubai denied it.
"He's offended me, but it's none of my business." Lin Mubai happily admitted that he had entanglements with Jiang Wei, which made Lin Yunlong also a little surprised. "But I'm not the only one he has offended, so if the emperor wants to investigate, it may be a little difficult."
Lin Yunlong had no intention of spending too much time and energy on Jiang Wei's death, because Jiang Wei's death would also be good for him.
After Jiang Wei's death, the court was a little chaotic for a while. Just like when the old minister who defended the Eighth Prince was killed, many people felt fear in their hearts, fearing that this was another smokeless war between the crown prince and the eighth prince, and they might be involved in it at any time.
Ye Zhihua was still immersed in the pain of losing his son, but Jiang Wei's death made him feel a little better. Because if it weren't for Jiang Wei, their Ye family might not have suffered such ups and downs. You must know that the position where Jiang Wei sat before he died was snatched from his hand.
A few families were happy and a few were worried, and just before Lin Yichen could find evidence to fight back against Lin Yinan, another thing made him feel annoyed.
The fourth prince, Lin Yinuo.
This prince, who was not very noticeable, has been frequently summoned by the emperor recently. Lin Yunlong even personally ordered a minister for him to teach him to learn, which made Lin Yichen's heart have to panic a little.
Since Jiang Wei's death, there are still ministers who visit Jiang Han's mother and daughter in Jiang's mansion every day. On this day, Jiang Han heard about the Four Princes from Liu Shengyuan, who came to the house. She hid in the shadows and waited for them to go far before slowly reappearing. Thinking about what the two of them said just now, Jiang Han returned to the room with a slight light in his eyes.
Because of filial piety, the marriage between Jiang Han and Lin Yichen has been impossible in recent years. But despite this, Jiang Han has already identified Lin Yichen in his heart.
The sky slowly darkened, and Jiang Han went out of the house alone and came to Liu's house. Liu Shengyuan was very surprised by Jiang Han's arrival, and hurriedly welcomed her into the house and asked if something had happened to the Jiang family again.
Jiang Han took a sip of the tea handed over by Liu Shengyuan to moisten his throat, and then slowly spoke: "Since my father passed away, my mother and I have seen this warmth and coldness more clearly. Now the Jiang family is only left with me and my mother, Uncle Liu's care I can't repay, my father collected some calligraphy and paintings to hang at home before his death, my mother and I can only see things and think about people when we see it, so I came today to ask Uncle Liu if he likes those calligraphy and paintings, if he likes me, he will send someone to send it another day. ”
Liu Shengyuan was immediately stunned after listening to Jiang Han's words, the things that Jiang Wei collected were all very valuable, how could Jiang Han give them to himself so easily?
Liu Shengyuan was silent for a moment and then asked in a low voice, "Is there any difficulty you want me to help?" ”
"No, Uncle Liu thinks too much." Jiang Han smiled and said with a sad face: "There are so many people who are officials in the court with my father, but Uncle Liu is one of the few who can be appreciated by my father." Although I have the emperor's finger marriage, I don't know how long Lu Dao will have to wait to complete the marriage with the prince, and it is impossible for the prince to wait three years before accepting a concubine, so I don't look forward to this marriage. ”
"You can't say that." Liu Shengyuan frowned and persuaded Jiang Han to open up. "The emperor's decree has been issued, and this matter cannot be wrong. Whether it is three years or a few years, you are the crown princess. Master Jiang also treated me well when he was alive, so if there is anything I can help in the Jiang Mansion in the future, then I will definitely help. ”
"I'm relieved to have Uncle Liu's words." Jiang Han lowered his eyes and smiled slightly, and then said something that made Liu Shengyuan not react for a long time. "Jiang Han now has no father, if Uncle Liu doesn't dislike it, is he willing to accept Jiang Han as a righteous daughter?"
Liu Shengyuan blinked, very puzzled in his heart. Although Jiang Wei is dead, the Jiang Mansion is not as good as before, but after all, Jiang Han still has the emperor's holy will body, so he doesn't have to worry about how sad he will be in the future. Besides, Jiang Wei was killed because of the emperor's holy decree, although the emperor didn't say anything, but he would definitely not treat Jiang Han's mother and daughter badly. What did Jiang Han mean by suddenly coming to himself and saying this? Do you really have something to ask yourself? But there is no need to put so much thought into it, and there are many people who are higher than her own status when she was working under Jiang Wei, why did she choose herself?
Liu Shengyuan was lost in thought, and did not notice the way Jiang Han looked at him at this time.
"Uncle Liu is unwilling?"
"No, no." Liu Shengyuan hurriedly shook his head, "But this ...... Isn't that a bit inappropriate? ”
No matter how Jiang Han said it, she was also the prince's future concubine, and she accepted her as a righteous daughter at this time, what would she think if the emperor knew the truth?
"There's nothing wrong with it, if you're worried that the prince won't agree, then I'll go into the palace tomorrow to find the prince, and if the prince agrees, I'll come to Liufu again, how about it?"
Jiang Han's attitude was very sincere, which made Liu Shengyuan feel more worried the more he thought about it.
The reason why Jiang Han took a fancy to Liu Shengyuan was very simple, firstly, because Jiang Wei was very close to him before he entered Beijing, especially after entering Beijing, so Jiang Wei had many things before he died, Jiang Han thought that Liu Shengyuan would definitely know the Tao. The second is because of Liu Shengyuan's daughter, Liu Yiyu. Liu Yiyu came back as the envoy of the Qing Netherworld before, and the emperor did not investigate and embarrass the Liu family, so it should not be for no reason. Therefore, Jiang Han feels that Liu Yiyu is a very useful person.
Lin Yichen hadn't seen Jiang Han for a few days, remembering that the last time she came to the palace to find her, she kept saying that she wanted to avenge Jiang Wei, I don't know what it was for this time?
"Jiang Han has something he wants to discuss with the prince." Jiang Han lowered her head and stood in front of Lin Yichen, and after hearing what Lin Yichen asked her to say, she slowly raised her eyes to meet Lin Yichen's gaze and asked, "I wonder if the prince has heard the name Liu Shengyuan?" ”
Lin Yichen thought about it and nodded. "What's wrong with him?"
Jiang Han said that he wanted to recognize Liu Shengyuan as his father-in-law, which made Lin Yichen immediately frown. How could she have thought of doing such a thing at such a time? And what is there about that Yanagi that is worth her doing?
"Because I think the Liu family has the value of use." Jiang Han unabashedly said his opinion, "Liu Shengyuan is very unnoticeable, if it weren't for his daughter, I don't think the prince would have remembered him as a person." But because of this, maybe he can help the prince do more things, just like the fourth prince, wasn't he also very inconspicuous before? ”
"Oh?"
Lin Yichen's eyes flashed, obviously he didn't expect Jiang Han to know about Lin Yinuo, the fourth prince of the Dao. This also confirmed Lin Yichen's previous thoughts, this Jiang Han is really not an ordinary woman.
"Our Jiang family will be targeted, maybe because it is too public. The tree is a big wind, and my father's death may illustrate this. I want to help the prince, no matter what I do. My father and Liu Shengyuan have always had a good relationship, and if anyone suspects that I am too close to the Liu family, the prince can also say that in fact, I recognized him as my father-in-law a long time ago, so that no one will suspect anything. ”
"You mean to say...... Do you want to be my eyeliner to help me communicate with the Liu family and use them to deal with the four princes? Lin Yichen couldn't help but chuckle as he spoke, feeling that Jiang Han was a little whimsical. Tell me, what can Yanagi do? ”
Jiang Han had thought that she would be teased before she came, but she didn't care much about it, but directly answered Lin Yichen's question.
"The fourth prince, there shouldn't be a concubine yet, right? What does the prince think, how is Liu Shengyuan's daughter Liu Yiyu? ”
"Do you think Yanagi would be willing to gamble with her daughter's life just to do something for me?" Lin Yichen sneered, still thinking that Jiang Han was whimsical.
"It is possible for the fourth prince to become the prince, if Liu Yiyu can marry the fourth prince at this time, then Liu Shengyuan will not have time to laugh, how can he not be willing. As for the prince, don't show up for now, I'll help the prince find a way to solve other things. I don't think it will be difficult for Liu Shengyuan to recover this chess piece after it reaches its peak. Because as long as the fourth prince dies at that time, if the crown prince reaches out to him again, he will definitely come to us obediently. ”
Jiang Han's words revealed murderous intent, Lin Yichen never thought that she would dare to be so bold, and even dare to say the words to kill Lin Yinuo.
Lin Yichen leaned on the back of the chair and looked at Jiang Han intently, this woman with red and swollen eyes who was crying a few days ago, no longer saw sadness on her face at this time. Thinking of what she had just said, Lin Yichen was a little shaken in his heart. Can she really be trusted? Lin Yichen didn't think that he really wanted to deal with Lin Yinuo through her, but it was not a bad idea to have one more person of his own. There are only two women around him who can impress Lin Yichen, one is Nangong Nuo'er, and the other is Lu Zhiyao, who has made him change recently. What can this Jiang Han do, Lin Yichen is suddenly looking forward to it.
"Let me think about it, you can go back first." Lin Yichen sighed lightly, and then slowly stood up. When he walked to Jiang Han's side, he stopped, stared at Jiang Han's face for a while, and asked, "You haven't slept well lately?" ”
Lin Yichen's words made Jiang Han lower her head embarrassedly, no matter how much she used rouge to cover it, she couldn't cover the black circle under her eyes. Since Jiang Wei's death, Jiang Han has not slept well almost every night. She only slept for a few hours a day, and the rest of the time she was full of revenge.
"Pay attention to rest, I will go to the Jiang Mansion tomorrow to give you an answer."
[The update that I owed yesterday will be made up tomorrow, don't worry.] 】
