Jiang Jinxing frowned, "What do you mean?"
"People from the Wenning Marquisate have openly accused the Ninth Prince of plotting to harm a daughter of an aristocratic family, and have even presented the charges to the head of the Imperial City Administration. Do you think this is a good thing for you?"
Shen Tingsi spoke in a cold voice, analyzing the pros and cons word by word to Jiang Jinxing, a pig-brained person:
"Prince Zhan holds the power to monitor the imperial family. He does have the authority to try and investigate the Ninth Prince. But if he really brings the Ninth Prince back to the Imperial City, do you think the Emperor would be willing to see his beloved brother turn his spearhead against his most beloved son?
The most likely scenario is that the Emperor will neither blame his brother nor suspect his son. He will simply vent his anger on your Wenning Marquisate, blaming you for your meddling! Even if your Marquisate is a century-old family, I don't need to explain what will happen if you anger the Emperor, right?
Jiang Jinxing wanted to refute, but no matter how stupid he was, he was still a young master from a noble family. He knew that what "Jiang Xiancao" said was right after thinking about it.
But he still kicked Shen Tingsi:
"How can you talk to your brother like that? You keep referring to your mansion. If anything goes wrong with the mansion, you'll be the first to suffer!"
Shen Tingsi felt so aggrieved after being kicked that if someone gave him a sword right now, he really wanted to stab Jiang Jinxing to death.
Jiang Jinan waited until his second brother finished kicking before speaking hypocritically:
"Although she committed a serious sin by holding the grass in her mouth, she is weak now. Second brother, please forgive her for now."
Shen Tingsi pouted and looked up with a sneer:
"Jiang Si, stop pretending to be nice! If you're really afraid that I'll die before tomorrow, then hurry up and get me some clean, decent food. Otherwise, tomorrow I'll tell the two princes all about your kindness to me!"
Jiang Jinan looked at her coldly and laughed mockingly:
"You must hate us now. I gave you clean food, and you wouldn't have said anything else. In that case, there's no need for me to do anything unnecessary. If you want to eat, then eat the buns on the ground. If you really don't want to live, then go on a hunger strike. I'd like to see if I can starve you to death in one night."
After saying that, he took Jiang Jinxing and left.
Shen Tingsi looked at the hard bun on the ground covered with dirty footprints with a sharp look.
Tomorrow, Prince Zhan will bring people from the Imperial City Bureau to the Marquis' Mansion. He must seize this opportunity to make some noise and find a way to get Shen Yubai to take him to see the emperor!
