Chapter 158 The inner desire for power is getting stronger and stronger

In the guest room.

Jiang Qinian got up from the bed and tidied his appearance a little.

Today is the most miserable day in Jiang Qinian's life.

"Yao'er, come in!"

The next moment, Jiang Yunyao outside the door suddenly pushed the door open and walked in.

The moment Jiang Yunyao saw Jiang Qinian, her emotions instantly got out of control.

Like a madman, she suddenly shouted loudly: "Daddy, you must avenge Yao'er and kill all the people in the Zhou family..."

At this moment, Jiang Qinian had his back to Jiang Yunyao, so Jiang Yunyao naturally could not see Jiang Qinian's swollen face.

Jiang Qinian listened to the harsh sound, and his bruised face became somewhat hideous.

How disgraceful it is to yell and shout!

He turned around suddenly, raised his hand, and slapped Jiang Yunyao hard with all his strength.

“Bang!”

"Ah..." Jiang Yunyao screamed and fell to the ground.

Jiang Yunyao was stunned by the sudden slap.

The atmosphere in the room froze for a moment.

Jiang Qinian stared sinisterly at Jiang Yunyao, who was sitting on the ground, and said in a cold tone, "Yao'er, where are all the rules you learned?"

"It's so vulgar and disgusting."

After Jiang Qinian finished speaking, he flicked his sleeves, turned around and sat down at the table.

Jiang Yunyao covered her slapped cheek, immersed in the sadness of being slapped by her own father.

She murmured to herself, "Daddy, you actually hit me."

The Zhou family members outside the door heard the conversation between Jiang Qinian and his daughter clearly.

They looked at each other, horror in their eyes.

This daughter-in-law is indeed not an easy person to deal with. She even dared to instigate the prime minister's relatives to kill them.

Fortunately, the prime minister's relative is not the kind of person who doesn't understand things.

Madam Zhou nudged her son and whispered, "Xuan'er, go in and take a look."

Zhou Zexuan was deeply afraid of Jiang Qinian, a man he had never met before.

Of course, he would not miss this opportunity to show himself.

Under the encouraging gaze of Mr. and Mrs. Zhou, he took a few steps forward to the door and raised his hand to gently knock on the door frame.

Jiang Qinian heard the knock on the door and thought it was someone from the government office. He said in a low voice, "Come in!"

Zhou Zexuan slowed down his pace as he entered the room, pretending to be calm and saying, "I am Zhou Zexuan, your humble servant, and I am honored to meet the Prime Minister."

"Zhou Zexuan?" Jiang Qinian thought of the rumors and knew who the visitor was.

According to what Lieutenant General Feng had inquired about, the Zhou family was the richest in town and their financial situation was quite good.

Thinking of this, Jiang Qinian's eyes were full of calculation.

After years of service, his desire for power grew stronger and stronger...

Now that this daughter has become an abandoned child, why not let her stay here and monitor the movements of Xiao Chengjin and Jiang Ruo.

When Xiao Chengjin ascends to the throne in the future, Jiang Qinian's status will naturally rise.

Yes, as long as the Jiang family can prosper, he is willing to acknowledge Jiang Ruo as his daughter in a grand manner.

However, right now, I should coax my daughter.

"Mr. Zhou, Yao'er and I have something important to discuss, so please leave first!" Jiang Qinian's tone was not as sharp as before.

Zhou Zexuan looked at his father-in-law, who was "approachable" and had no official airs, and a hint of joy flashed in his eyes.

With a flattering smile on his face, he bowed and said, "Your Excellency Yue, Prime Minister, I will take my leave."

It won’t be too late to change your mind once your father-in-law nods his approval of their marriage.

Before going out, Zhou Zexuan "considerately" helped Jiang Yunyao up who had fallen to the ground.

While the two were very close, Zhou Zexuan whispered, "Yao'er, I'll go out and wait for you."

Jiang Yunyao's face was dazed at the moment, and she didn't hear what Zhou Zexuan said at all.

After Zhou Zexuan went out, he glanced at the father and daughter in the room with a smile and closed the door.

He had a feeling that getting close to the Prime Minister's Mansion...could be accomplished!

You could hear a pin drop in the room.

"Yao'er, come and sit down." After Jiang Qinian finished speaking, he turned around and sat down at the table.

Jiang Yunyao sat opposite Jiang Qinian with her hands covering her cheeks like a puppet.

Jiang Qinian looked at the utterly embarrassed Jiang Yunyao, and said with a hint of sharpness in his voice, "Yao'er, do you know that because of your so-called 'rebirth', we almost had the entire Prime Minister's Mansion executed?"

The words "the whole family will be executed" woke Jiang Yunyao up, and she gradually regained consciousness.

The moment Jiang Yunyao raised her eyes, she looked at Jiang Qinian's swollen face in disbelief, "Dad, your injury..."

Jiang Qinian snorted coldly, "My father lost the disaster relief grain funds, which caused public outrage and he was beaten by the people."

Jiang Yunyao lowered her head guiltily upon hearing this.

Yes, all of this was caused by her, this is an indisputable fact.

But she was so unwilling!

"Dad, you don't have to worry about losing the disaster relief grain."

"As far as Yao'er knows, several grain stores in this town have lost grain, and all of them disappeared overnight."

Jiang Qinian knew about this matter and simply skipped the topic.

"Yao'er, what's going on between you and that Zhou Zexuan?"

Jiang Yunyao became agitated when she heard Jiang Qinian's questioning tone.

"Dad, they are all unscrupulous villains. You sent someone to kill their entire family."

"Yes, I want to skin Zhou Zexuan alive."

Jiang Qinian looked at Jiang Yunyao who had lost her mind and slammed the table.

"Yao'er, calm down."

Jiang Yunyao glanced at the furious Jiang Qinian and shrank back in fear.

"Daddy..." There was a hint of fear in the trembling voice.

Jiang Qinian rubbed his slightly painful brow, his face full of fatigue.

After a moment's silence, he said in a commanding tone: "Yao'er, just marry Zhou Zexuan with peace of mind!"

When Jiang Yunyao heard this, she froze there as if struck by a bolt from the blue.

After a long while, she murmured to herself, "Daddy, what are you talking about?"

In order to make Jiang Yunyao give up, Jiang Qinian said bluntly: "Yao'er, your affairs have become a hot topic. Do you still have a choice?"

Jiang Yunyao sat there with a deathly pale face and did not refute anymore.

She knew very well that she had lost her usefulness to her father who valued power.

Jiang Qinian looked at the distraught Jiang Yunyao, his eyes flashing slightly.

"Yao'er, this time Daddy lost the relief funds. After returning to the capital, I don't know how the Emperor will deal with it."

"So, you have to stay in Jizhou, do you understand?" Jiang Qinian's expression and tone completely expressed that "I'm doing this for your own good."

After this explanation, Jiang Yunyao immediately understood Jiang Qinian’s “good intentions”.

"Daddy, Yaoer understands everything."

Jiang Qinian looked at Jiang Yunyao, who had been comforted by him, and said with a little relief, "Yao'er, you will be alone in Jizhou from now on. You must learn to be patient, understand?"

Jiang Yunyao wiped her tears and nodded, "Daddy, Yaoer understands everything."

In order to let Jiang Yunyao stay in Jizhou with peace of mind, Jiang Qinian began to paint a big picture.

"Yao'er, wait until Daddy returns to Beijing to sort out these troublesome matters, and then secretly send someone to pick you up."

"By then, the people of the Zhou family...will be at your disposal." Jiang Qinian deliberately lowered his voice when saying the last sentence.

When Jiang Yunyao heard this, a light flashed in her eyes, "Yao'er thanks Daddy."

The next moment, her face gradually became distorted.

Killing them directly would be too easy for them.

She wanted to destroy the Zhou family bit by bit.

To relieve the hatred in my heart.
