Jiang Shuxue left again, carrying the food basket.
The smile in Princess Shouguang's eyes gradually cooled. How many times had she unconsciously called out "Mother" before she couldn't control herself?
I just hope that my mother can act faster. If Ye Qiao's existence is confirmed, then the Wei mother and daughter won't be able to get a single copper coin from her.
These days, Jiang Shijing is still acting crazy and unpredictable, but he spends more time with his two younger brothers, wanting to play with them.
“You should play along with him, take him to cockfighting and horse racing, and let him gamble and get drunk.” Madam Wei raised an eyebrow: “The more useless he is, the greater your chances of inheriting the family business.”
The second young master sneered, “My eldest brother is already crippled. Father no longer has any hope for him. Sooner or later, the Jiang family’s business will be divided between my brother and me. What is Mother still worried about?”
“Nowadays, everyone knows that the eldest son of the Jiang family is mentally unstable, insane and indescribable.” The third son also said, “When the family business falls into our hands, we will drive him out and let him wander the streets. We will not support him, since he is a useless person anyway.”
Seeing how well she had raised her two sons and one daughter, Mrs. Wei couldn't help but feel satisfied.
“After all, Princess Shouguang is still alive, and behind her is the Prince Lu’s Mansion. The Prince Lu’s Mansion is not to be trifled with. If Prince Lu tries to interfere for the sake of his grandson, things may not turn out as we wish,” she said earnestly.
The second and third young masters immediately became alert.
"Therefore, you must completely ruin the eldest son. Even if the Prince Lu's mansion gets involved, he will be utterly useless."
"Mother, we understand."
The second and third young masters exchanged a glance, realizing that their mother had considered things more deeply.
As a result, the three sons of the Jiang family became close friends, and their relationship was more harmonious than ever before.
"Brother, this is a fine wine that I had someone find in the Western Regions. I kept one pound for myself and gave the rest to you."
The second young master carried a jar of wine to Jiang Shijing's courtyard, placed it in front of Jiang Shijing, and patted the jar triumphantly.
"I won't drink." Jiang Shijing leaned back in his armchair and waved his hand absently.
"This is my heartfelt gift, why won't you drink it, elder brother?" the second young master said unhappily.
“I like the green bottle with intertwined branches on the table in front of your screen. I want to use that to hold the wine; it will taste better that way,” Jiang Shijing said stubbornly.
The second young master frowned. It was a gift from his father, carved from a single piece of jade, and was quite valuable. He treasured it and would polish it himself from time to time.
As soon as Jiang Shijing opened his mouth, he asked him for this thing.
No wonder Jiang Shijing picked it up and examined it several times when he went to his place.
However, he thought again that the Jiang family business would be his sooner or later. He was a year older than the third young master, and the eldest young master was useless. He was the eldest son, and even if he was temporarily sent away, it would eventually return to his hands.
The most important thing now is to coax Jiang Shijing into drinking the wine.
He laced the wine with a potent drug, which he had obtained with great difficulty. It could completely destroy a person's brain, rendering them as if they were in a daze. In that case, even the gods in heaven wouldn't be able to save them.
So the second young master went back, filled a jade bottle with wine, and sent it to Jiang Shijing.
Jiang Shijing hugged the jade bottle, revealing a silly, satisfied smile, and then took a sip in front of the second young master.
However, he was already drunk and couldn't hold his liquor, so he just clung to the bottle, reluctant to let go, and mumbled some incoherent words.
The second young master left upon seeing this.
In a couple of days, we can come and see the hopeless idiot.
As night deepened, Jiang Shijing got up, picked up the jade bottle, went through the back window into the backyard, and then went through the side gate along the path to Lord Jiang's courtyard.
