Chapter 344: The Rumors End

No one in the camp knew why Jiang Lin placed the deaf-mute there.

They only knew that the deaf-mute suddenly had a unique name, "Aji", although the name was useless to him.

In their eyes, Aji is still a disabled person who can't understand or speak. They won't call him 'Aji', but it makes it more convenient when they arrange things behind the scenes.

"Why are you so interested in the prince's private affairs?" The eldest brother was not interested in the content of their conversation, but he couldn't stop their words from entering his ears.

Before the boss spoke, no one noticed his existence. Only after hearing his voice did they turn their attention to him.

When Jiang Shan's family was brought to the camp by Jiang Lin for transit, many people witnessed Jiang Lin's close relationship with them.

After all, Jiang Lin usually looked cold and didn't communicate with them much, so taking the initiative to talk to Jiang Lin and the others was already a sign of Jiang Lin's warmth in their eyes.

"Boss Jiang, you have a close relationship with the prince, do you know the inside story?"

The boss turned to them with a frown. They didn't listen to his words at all, nor did they know how to repent. Instead, they wanted to get more information from him.

"If you don't want to talk, then don't talk." Someone saw Boss Jiang's expression and sneered, "Why bother giving us such a bad face?"

After hearing this, the boss's face turned cold and he glared at the person who had just spoken.

Some people saw that things were going to go in a bad direction, so they spoke well of the two of them.

"We're just joking, nothing more than that, don't take it too seriously!"

The scene of their eyes meeting was blocked, and Boss Jiang did not want to conflict with the other party, so he stopped talking and left the place on his own initiative.

"Tsk, who are you pretending for?" After the boss left, the other party, whose line of sight was blocked, said disdainfully to the boss's back, "He's just a dog of Prince Jiang's family."

This sentence not only scolded the boss, but also addressed everyone present.

Then, the picture froze, and the person who was speaking had not yet realized that something was wrong.

"What happened?"

When the boss returned to the tent, Jiang Shan was the only one there. He couldn't suppress his anger and kicked over the things at his feet.

Jiang Shan asked this question after seeing it. After the boss explained the situation, Jiang Shan smiled.

"How can you control their mouths? Just don't listen." Jiang Shan persuaded the boss.

The eldest brother snorted in dissatisfaction, "They said it, how can I pretend not to hear it? They shouldn't have said it in the first place."

"Instead of paying attention to what they say, you should just do your best." Jiang Shan said, "Do you see that the prince takes these rumors to heart?"

The boss thought about it and felt that Jiang Shan’s words made sense. Those unpleasant remarks in the army were widely circulated, and Jiang Lin must have known about them.

But Jiang Lin never cared. He continued to do what he had to do, and never asked about what he didn't want to do.

Open and honest behavior will eventually make those secret thoughts disappear.

The boss felt that he had realized something, and he thought about learning from Jiang Lin and being as calm as Jiang Lin.

The boss had no idea that the Jiang Lin he thought he was was just who he thought he was.

"Nuannuan, have you heard what people are saying about me today?" Jiang Lin asked Qin Xiangnuan pretending to be completely unaware.

Qin Xiangnuan thought about it carefully and simplified and beautified what was said outside.

If Jiang Lin had not heard the rumors outside, he would have been deceived by Qin Xiangnuan.

"Nuannuan, actually I have heard something, but it's a little different from what you said." Jiang Lin said a little uncomfortably.

Qin Xiangnuan was silent for a rare moment, then nodded expressionlessly.

"Nuannuan, those words are not pleasant to hear after all," Jiang Lin said, "but they will stop saying them soon."

Because Jiang Lin discovered that the previous countermeasures were ineffective, if he didn't want them to spread some remarks.

In addition to keeping them busy, the more important thing is to scare them so that they never dare to talk nonsense again.

Jiang Lin gave this "threatening" task to An Feng to complete, and believed that the results would be seen soon.

"I don't care what they say." Qin Xiangnuan raised an eyebrow. "Anyway, what they said is false. I know it clearly, so I won't be affected by their words."

Jiang Lin opened his mouth, then closed it silently without saying a word.

"It's all because of the undercurrent." Jiang Lin thought.

Qin Xiangnuan clearly didn't feel jealous at all, and he even made promises in front of her as if to seek credit. When Qin Xiangnuan remained unmoved, he seemed particularly foolish.

"Are you feeling unwell?" Qin Xiangnuan tilted her head and looked at Jiang Lin, who had been standing there motionless for a long time.

Jiang Lin blinked his eyes, then lowered them and met Qin Xiangnuan's worried expression.

"No, I'm fine." Jiang Lin suddenly spoke.

Qin Xiangnuan trembled when she heard the sudden voice, and nodded at him in confusion.

Jiang Lin was annoyed that he didn't have to deal with the troublemakers so quickly as Anliu suggested.

But after those rumors disappeared, my ears became much quieter. Thinking about it this way, it didn't seem to matter.

After Aji recovered a little, he moved out of Jiang Lin's tent and lived with the soldiers. At this time, no one dared to say that Jiang Lin had an unusual relationship with him.

What's more, he is a deaf-mute who doesn't communicate much with them, yet he still makes delicious food every day, and there are no vicious people pointing fingers at him.

"I wonder if he has forgotten King Cheng's order?" Qin Xiangnuan couldn't help but smile as she looked at the 'little bee' Anji busying around in front of the stove.

"Maybe." Jiang Lin agreed.

Judging from the similar appearance between Aji and Qin Xiangnuan, it is obvious that King Cheng has his eyes on Aji, but Aji himself is obviously not happy about it.

"Master, the Third Miss." Anliu was worried after learning that Aji was a foreigner. He didn't expect Jiang Lin and the others to be so calm and put him in the position of a cook. "If he drugs us, we're all doomed..."

Jiang Lin and Qin Xiangnuan looked at each other, then shook their heads together.

"He doesn't dare." Jiang Lin looked up at Anliu, taking in his nervous expression, and smiled at him, saying, "At least not right now."

The other party took great pains to send people here, not for the sake of quick success. King Cheng would only give Aji an important task after seeing that he had gained the trust of the people in the camp.

He would also treat Aji as a sharp sword, thinking about how to kill Jiang Lin with one blow, and would not care about some trivial fights that would not hurt him.

Even if one knows about the undercurrent, one still feels it is very dangerous.
