Chapter 147 Marrying Chen Li
Late at night, Jinyu Garden of the Northern Palace.
Xiao Nanxing checked his pulse again and said:
"Don't worry, Prince. After half a day, the toxins in the Princess' body have completely disappeared..."
Mild toxins don't have much of an effect.
But Xie Lingxi asked Xiao Nanxing to take his pulse every hour.
"Don't worry, my husband. Rong'er has taken care of everything. She won't let anything happen to herself!" Jiang Rong looked at Xie Lingxi with a bright smile.
Jiang Qingrong is dead.
Died at his father's grave.
Before his father died, he entrusted all his property and himself to him...
But he repaid kindness with enmity, disregarding brotherhood and wanting to take his own life.
It's just the right time to die as an atonement.
Xie Lingxi had a dull expression, and nothing could be seen. But he actually went there secretly today to prevent any unexpected events.
Caring about the little girl very much.
"Jingzhe, let them in." Xie Lingxi ordered.
Jingzhe took the order and quickly led in two women dressed as maids.
Xiao Nanxing introduced:
"Princess, this is An Seventeen and An Eighteen. They are very skilled in martial arts. They were sent out by the prince to perform a mission and have just been summoned back. The prince asked them to protect your safety."
There are mostly men among the Black Guards, with only two female secret guards.
Xie Lingxi was called back urgently and stayed with Jiang Rong. They disguised themselves as maids, which was not easy to attract the enemy's attention.
There are too many people who want to harm her.
He needs to protect his Crown Princess more carefully.
The two women bowed to Jiang Rong and said, "Greetings, Crown Prince's Consort!"
"No need to be polite. I'll be grateful for your care in the future." Jiang Rong smiled faintly and turned to look at Xie Lingxi:
"Thank you, husband!"
Xie Lingxi looked at her and said nothing. He just calculated in his heart...
Jiang Qingrong was dead. The next person to die was his master behind the scenes.
The next day, Jiang Rong was presiding over the funeral again.
In the end, the real culprit was never found in Jiang Qingrong's case. He cleaned up all the clues himself, and the Ministry of Justice was unable to find any results.
At this point, the second branch of the Jiang family was wiped out.
Without a leader, the Zhongyi Marquis's Mansion could only ask Jiang Rong to take charge. Thus, the Zhongyi Marquis's Mansion completely returned to Jiang Rong's hands.
…
In the suburbs of Beijing, there is a private villa of the Fan family.
This is a very secret manor of Fan Ziyi, where he often discusses confidential matters.
The table was filled with delicious wine and food, and there were dancers dancing in the hall.
"Mr. Shen is able to take the time out of his busy schedule to see me, which really makes me feel honored." Fan Ziyi said with a smile.
Shen Wenyuan said hurriedly, "Mr. Fan, you are too polite. I have always admired Brother Fan's talent and the prince's benevolence. It's a pity that my father... Alas, I would very much like to get closer to Brother Fan!"
"I understand Brother Shen's good intentions. My mother is choosing a wife for me these days, but to be honest with you, I have already chosen your sister. But Master Shen will definitely not agree to my family's proposal, so I would like to discuss it with Brother Shen. I wonder if Brother Shen has any way to make it happen?" Fan Ziyi spoke his mind.
As long as he marries Chen Li, then Master Chen will be a member of the Prince Party.
Even if Master Shen refused to side with the Crown Prince, it was impossible for the other princes to trust him, and that was enough.
Now, Prince Duan is almost on par with the Crown Prince...
If Master Shen were to side with Prince Duan, it would be troublesome.
Although Master Shen seems neutral at the moment, who knows what will happen next? The Dong family was neutral before.
Take precautions before they happen.
Marrying Chen Li is the most important thing for Fan Ziyi right now.
Shen Wenyuan's eyes lit up. "It's my sister's blessing that Brother Fan likes her! My father is an old-fashioned person who doesn't know how to adapt. I have a way to deal with this matter..."
"So... I wonder what Brother Fan thinks?"
Fan Ziyi knew that Shen Wenyuan was ambitious and wanted to curry favor with the prince, but he was also amazed at his shameless betrayal of his own sister.
"Brother Shen, this is a good idea. Then I'll leave everything to you, Brother Shen. I am sincere to your sister, and I will never treat her unfairly in the future, let alone Brother Shen and the Shen family!" Fan Ziyi said with a smile and winked at the maid beside him.
Immediately, ten maids came to Shen Wenyuan carrying trays of gold ingots.
Two more beautiful dancers came forward and hugged Shen Wenyuan's arms, one on the left and one on the right.
"Brother Fan, this is too polite..." Shen Wenyuan was very satisfied. As expected, following the princelings was the right choice. Money and beauty were all there.
"It's just a small token of my gratitude. Brother Chen helped me a lot. When we become a family in the future, I will definitely thank Brother Chen even more." Fan Ziyi smiled slightly, stood up and said:
"Brother Shen, if you don't mind, you can stay here for a while today. I have something else to do, so I'll go back first."
Fan Ziyi left.
Shen Wenyuan enjoyed himself so much in this farm that he didn't want to leave and only went home after playing there for three days.
…
Northern Palace, Jinyu Garden.
Chen Li brought the newly made osmanthus jam and smiled faintly:
"This is the new sauce I made. Please try it, Sister Jiang."
Jiang Rong accepted it and said, "Our dim sum shop is almost ready. We can open it in the next two days."
It took some time to send people to Lingnan to make lychee jam.
Now all these things are arranged.
Chen Li was not idle either. Ever since she and Jiang Rong decided to open a shop, she had been developing new sweet sauces. Every time she made a new sauce, she would invite Jiang Rong to taste it.
"That's great!" Shen Li looked happy.
After preparing bit by bit for a long time, she is now looking forward to the opening of the dim sum shop.
"My brother and I are going to Ranxia Mountain in the next two days, and it may take some time before we can return to Beijing." Chen Li hurriedly asked, "Can you wait until I come back before opening the business? I have already promised my brother, and it is not easy to break the contract."
"Of course. You are the boss of this shop." Jiang Rong smiled and asked:
"What are you and Brother Shen doing at Ranxia Mountain?"
Chen Li shook her head: "It's not the eldest brother, it's the second brother. He said that the autumn scenery of Ranxia Mountain is unique, and there are all kinds of fruits, so he took me to see the scenery. I also want to go and see if there are any suitable fruits to make jam..."
Shen Wenyuan?
Jiang Rong was keenly aware that something was wrong.
Shen Wenyuan would not get up early without profit. He had always been indifferent to Shen Li, so why would he suddenly want to take her out to play and see the sights?
"He is not a good person." Jiang Rong said.
Chen Li lowered her head somewhat awkwardly: "He used to speak rudely to Sister Jiang, and I also thought he was very bad. But the second brother has changed now... I... I think I can give him a chance..."
Seeing her like this, Jiang Rong stopped talking and said, "Hearing you mention it, I am also interested in Ranxia Mountain. But I am a bit busy recently and it is inconvenient for me to leave the capital. Can you take my maid with you and let her help me pick some fruits and send them back."
"I'm bringing fruit to Sister Jiang! What do you like to eat? I'll go pick it!" Shen Li said excitedly.
Jiang Rong smiled and said, "I am going to deliver it to everyone, but it would be more appropriate for her to go in person."
"Then I'll take her with me!" Shen Li nodded.
