"It's just a treasure from the previous dynasty," Jiang Zhiyu shook his head. "That doesn't make me want to save anyone, especially someone I hate."
【You have to pay extra! 】
Jiang Kangan: “…”
He Yanting: “…”
[No way, no matter how much money you add, I can't save you!]
Jiang Kangan: “…”
He Yanting: “…”
Just a treasure from the previous dynasty?
Tao Hong looked at her in astonishment, and explained with a rather exhausted tone, "No, you may not know what this means yet. As long as you get it, you will have wealth that rivals that of a country. At that time, you can do whatever you want."
There was a hint of temptation in her words at the end, but Jiang Kangan looked at her expressionlessly.
The chill that surged up from her back made Taohong shiver, but she still persisted in looking at Jiang Zhiyu.
"Rich enough to rival a country?" Jiang Zhiyu sneered, "I'm not interested in money."
[Just kidding, my assets are now definitely on par with Xiao Ma's.]
[I have the confidence to say this!]
pink:"……"
Jiang Kangan: “…”
He Yanting: “…”
This sentence brought about a strange silence, and no one spoke for a long time.
There is no doubt that Jiang Zhiyu's salary and the emperor's rewards were definitely high.
What made Jiang Kangan and He Yanting a little confused was how much profit Jiang Zhiyu's two clinics made.
One of them was a gift from the emperor. It is located next to Zuiyuelong and specializes in treating kidney deficiency.
One is a clinic that made a bet with He Yanting and can treat anything.
The common point between the two clinics is that there are a constant stream of people coming every day.
But there is one difference. The people who come in and out of the medical clinics specializing in treating kidney deficiency every day are all dignitaries dressed in fine clothes and silk. At the very least, they are wealthy businessmen with some spare money.
In the clinic that treats everything, people coming in and out are ordinary people wearing coarse linen clothes, and there are even some beggars.
These people have trouble even making a living, can they really afford medicine?
Taohong was so choked by Jiang Zhiyu's words that she didn't know what to say for a moment.
Before she could recover, Jiang Zhiyu continued, "Besides, this isn't real gold or silver that you can see or touch. It's just a clue. Does the so-called treasure of the previous dynasty really exist? Even if it does exist, how much is inside? Is it rich enough to rival an entire country? Who can really know for sure?"
There was no trace of humiliation in Jiang Zhiyu's tone, he just calmly stated a fact. However, Taohong was shaking all over, feeling extremely humiliated!
I spent so much time preparing myself mentally to convince myself, but they just...
Taohong felt extremely aggrieved, so she gave up the idea of asking them for help and left in anger.
After her figure completely disappeared, Jiang Kangan whispered, "Does she really have the whereabouts of the treasure of the previous dynasty?"
"No," Jiang Zhiyu said firmly without even a second's hesitation, "Jiang Zhaorong simply couldn't rescue her, so he made up an excuse to confuse us."
Jiang Kang'an was skeptical, but Jiang Zhiyu looked at him with certainty.
What was inconsistent with her eyes was her inner voice:
[Although what I said was false, it is true that there is no treasure from the previous dynasty.]
[Besides, she is not a princess of the previous dynasty.]
Jiang Kangan: “!!!”
He was also privately investigating Song Shiwei's identity. Although it was difficult to investigate what happened back then, there were still some clues left.
Although Du Wen was hidden in the mountains by Jiang Zhaorong, she was not completely isolated from human contact. People living at the foot of the mountain and hunters who went into the mountains to hunt had all talked with her.
Not to mention that when Du Wen took the two baby girls to the foot of the mountain to seek medical treatment because they had a high fever, he did not have enough money and even mentioned Jiang Zhaorong's name when begging.
Thinking of this, Jiang Kangan narrowed his eyes slightly.
If she was not a princess of the previous dynasty, then she was the biological daughter of Jiang Zhaorong and Du Wen, and their half-sister.
His eyes were full of disgust.
His only sisters are Zhiyu and Sulan, there is no possibility of anyone else.
Jiang Zhiyu stood up to get some cakes. Looking at He Yanting who was still lost in thought, Jiang Kangan asked, "What are you thinking about?"
Is he thinking about the treasures of the previous dynasty or about telling the emperor about this?
Jiang Kangan waited calmly for his reaction.
Then, He Yanting suddenly let out an "Ah!" and leaned back exaggeratedly, saying in a boastful tone, "How do you know she said I'm family?"
Jiang Kangan: “…”
Even though Jiang Kangan was bedridden and had a strong ability to endure both physical and mental attacks, coupled with his cultivation over the past decade, they were unable to stop the curse words from gushing out of his heart.
Then, as if he could no longer endure it, he poked He Yanting's sword with the hilt and said, "Let's fight."
…
It is said that after Taohong came out of Xu's house, she did not go back directly.
It’s not that she didn’t want to go back, but her carriage was stopped on the way.
The man who stopped her said directly: "The Second Prince wants to see you."
It's more of a notification and an order than an invitation.
Because he didn't even wait for Taohong's response, he directly drove the coachman off and drove the carriage into the Second Prince's Mansion himself.
Taohong passively followed people everywhere and met the second prince Xiao Chuji.
Xiao Chuji had already poured the tea. Hearing the sound, he gestured for Taohong to sit opposite him.
Tao Hong sat down tremblingly, and looked at Xiao Chuji with forced composure: "I wonder why the Second Prince asked me to come here?"
Xiao Chuji smiled faintly and said, "It's just a few questions, no need to be nervous."
His voice was gentle, but what he said made Taohua's heartstrings tense instantly: "I heard that you hate Song Shiwei very much, why did you go to the Xu Mansion to beg for help to save her?"
Tao Hong clenched her fists: "Your Highness, you are joking. I am not trying to save her, but to save myself."
Xiao Chuji uttered a doubtful "oh!", and Taohong continued, "This is about treason. If she really participated, it would be a grave crime punishable by the death of all nine generations of her family. For the sake of my husband, my child, and me, I naturally have to save her."
Xiao Chuji nodded as if suddenly realizing something. When Taohong thought he believed her and breathed a sigh of relief, Xiao Chuji continued, "But my father is so kind and benevolent that he only executed those ministers and didn't implicate their families. Everyone in Shengjing should know about this."
Taohong's heart skipped a beat. Xiao Chuji's eyes were staring at her coldly like a poisonous snake.
"When the decree was first issued, you didn't even ask for the punishment of the nine clans. But now, you won't be affected at all. Why did you ask for it?"
"I still can't understand it. Why don't you help me solve it?"
The poisonous snake seemed to coil up from Taohong's feet to her body, shrinking its body little by little, almost suffocating Taohong.
She gasped heavily: "Because..."
