"Of course it's because of the master," Tao Hong said, but suddenly changed her tone. "The Second Prince must have heard how much Jiang Zhaorong loves her adopted daughter, Song Shiwei. I simply couldn't bear to see the master running around like this, so I came out of the palace to seek help."
Xiao Chuji paused for a moment. "Are you asking the Xu family for help? Are you sure Jiang Zhiyu will help you?"
"Of course not," Taohong frowned. "I'm just a maid, I don't know any important people. The reason I came to the Xu Mansion was because I hoped that Madam Xu would remember the friendship we had with the master and ask for help."
"But unfortunately, the lady is not at home. After I explained my purpose, Jiang Zhiyu directly refused."
Xiao Chuji tapped the table lightly with the tip of one finger, supported his chin with the other hand, and looked her up and down with eyes that showed no emotion.
I don’t know whether I believed it or not.
Tao Hong's heartbeat quickened, so fast that she could even hear it herself. She curled her lips and said, "If Second Prince has nothing else to do, I will take my leave first."
After saying that, she stood up and left without waiting for Xiao Chuji's response.
She couldn't stay here for even a second.
Looking at her fleeing figure in panic, Xiao Chuji's eyes were dark.
"master……"
"Go and find out what she said in the Xu Mansion, and what Jiang Zhaorong has been doing these days."
The subordinate replied yes, but when Jiang Zhaorong was mentioned, his eyes wandered for a moment, and he said, "I ran into him today, in the tavern on the corner."
Tavern?
If it is true as Taohong said, Jiang Zhaorong has been running around for Song Shiwei's affairs, why would she appear in the tavern?
…
Jiang Zhaorong sat in the corner upstairs by the window.
From this position, if you open the window, you can have a panoramic view of everything on the street in front of Xu's house.
When Jiang Zhaorong saw Taohong leaving the house and being taken away by another unexpected person, she stood up suddenly and the wine glass in her hand fell to the ground.
He would not mistake that person or that symbol. It was definitely the Second Prince's man!
Why did Xiao Chuji send people to guard here?
How did he know?
Did Taohong reveal to Xiao Chuji the secret that Song Shiwei carries clues to the treasure of the previous dynasty?
He was full of doubts, and after paying the bill, he hurried back to the mansion.
…
On the other side, at the Xu Mansion, a fierce battle ended with Jiang Kangan scratching the back of He Yanting's hand.
It was called a scratch, but in fact it was just a little skin scrape. If he hadn't kept holding it under Jiang Zhiyu's eyelids and pulling the wound back and forth, it would have healed in a while.
Jiang Zhiyu was so upset that she bandaged him. Jiang Kangan, who was standing by, listened to him whimpering and kept saying, "It's not Big Brother's fault," "Big Brother didn't mean to do it."
The right sentence: "I was careless," "I didn't pay attention and bumped my hand into Big Brother's sword..."
The aroma of tea filled the air, and Jiang Kangan became stiff and his fists hardened!
Fortunately, Jiang Zhiyu's voice prevented the impending war.
[Jiang Zhaorong has already set her sights on this. It seems there's really nothing we can do.]
【Where is the male protagonist? Please save him. What have you been doing?】
Jiang Kangan: “…”
What does it mean that Jiang Zhaorong has set her sights on coming here?
The doubt lasted only a moment, and the next second, Jiang Kangan connected everything together, and a flash of enlightenment appeared in his eyes.
Jiang Zhaorong intentionally revealed the clue of the so-called treasure to Taohong!
Jiang Zhiyu's inner voice seemed to echo him.
[Jiang Zhaorong probably realized that the male protagonist was unreliable, so she resorted to this desperate measure.]
[He revealed the clue to the treasure to Taohong, implying that he would risk everything for the treasure, even his own life. Taohong, for the sake of herself and her child, would never watch this happen.]
[The news that she came to the clinic to see me and that I treated her must have reached Jiang Zhaorong's ears, which is why he made such a plan.]
[In Jiang Zhaorong's eyes, I love money so much that it's impossible for me not to be tempted after knowing the clue to the treasure.]
"This way, I can go and save Song Shiwei. As for the clue to the treasure on Song Shiwei's body, Taohong definitely doesn't know what it is. Jiang Zhaorong is the only one who knows everything."
[It would be best if they could be rescued, but even if they can't be rescued, Jiang Zhaorong won't be implicated.]
After listening to Jiang Zhiyu's inner thoughts, Jiang Kang'an's mouth twitched slightly.
Two years of not seeing each other is enough time for you to gradually become a stranger to someone close to you.
But after listening to Jiang Zhiyu's words, Jiang Kang'an felt that he had never understood this father.
In his memory, Jiang Zhaorong and Xu Youran had always had a good relationship until Mrs. Du entered the mansion, when some cracks appeared.
But Jiang Zhaorong still treated them as usual. Although he would be partial to Song Shiwei, he would not give them less than what they deserved.
It was not until Song Shiwei intended to frame them and take their lives in Zuiyuelong, and the evidence was irrefutable, but Jiang Zhaorong still favored her, that Jiang Kang'an's image of him changed.
And then to today.
He used to think that Jiang Zhaorong was so partial to Song Shiwei because of her feelings for his biological mother.
Now, he realized that it was purely for profit.
Let us ask ourselves, who among them can create value comparable to the treasures of the previous dynasty?
Even a young fish cannot compare to her in Jiang Zhaorong's heart.
After knowing all this, Jiang Kangan suddenly realized that when Jiang Kangan taught Song Shiwei a lesson, was it really because she hurt someone?
No, not really.
He was just giving advice, or even warning Song Shiwei.
Let her not have any inappropriate thoughts.
[However, it's a pity that he doesn't know that Song Shiwei has an aura around him, so he can't do it for the time being.]
[As long as one more person knows the secret of the so-called treasure of the previous dynasty, the risk will increase.]
【Especially since Tao Hong came back so suddenly today, I'm afraid someone with ulterior motives has already started investigating.】
[Song Shiwei loves being admired the most, doesn't she? Soon, she will become a hot commodity that everyone in the world wants to possess.]
What a blessing!
Jiang Kangan: “…”
He Yanting: “…”
Although, this shouldn't be considered a blessing...
…
Jiang Zhaorong told Taohong that they were going to the Sixth Prince's Mansion, so the carriage drove to the Sixth Prince's Mansion as instructed by Jiang Zhaorong. As for him, he walked all the way to the tavern.
Now he was in a hurry to go back, and he didn't have time to call a carriage, so he walked back.
When he just returned home, Taohong's carriage arrived.
Jiang Zhaorong was sweating and breathing heavily. Taohong, who was getting out of the car, was startled and asked with concern, "What's wrong, my husband?"
Jiang Zhaorong waved her hand: "Nothing wrong, I just felt a little bored in the carriage, so I got out and took a walk. Where have you been?"
Taohong paused for a moment, then smiled and walked over to his side. "I just went out for a walk. Do you have any response from the Sixth Prince?"
