"Oh, the Marquis is ordering me to leave."
Jiang Xiancao smiled and said, "It seems that the rumors outside are true. With the support of the Empress and His Royal Highness, the Marquis is becoming more and more confident."
Marquis Wenning frowned and said seriously:
"The harem is not allowed to interfere in government affairs, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will not form cliques for personal gain, and I am an official with a clean record. Please do not believe the rumors, Your Highness."
Jiang Xiancao nodded mockingly, "Well, of course there is no one in this world more innocent than you, Lord Marquis."
Marquis Wenning pretended not to hear her sarcasm and stood up, gesturing, "Your Highness, please."
Jiang Xiancao did not stand up, but just looked at him with her legs crossed, and said calmly:
"How can you leave when I haven't finished explaining my story yet?"
Seeing that she was really determined to stay in the mansion, Marquis Wenning had no choice but to sit down and said patiently:
"Mother is old and in poor health, and must go to bed early. If Your Majesty has any important business, please speak quickly."
Jiang Xiancao smiled and said softly:
"My Lord, I came to the Marquis' Mansion today with gifts to apologize to you."
Marquis Wen Ning showed a surprised expression.
He never expected that the Ninth Prince, who relied on the emperor's favor to be arrogant and domineering and had a feud with the Jiang family, would actually say the four words "apology" to him.
Even Mrs. Lu and Old Madam Qin looked at each other in bewilderment.
After a moment of shock, Marquis Wen Ning said in a respectful tone:
"Your Highness has done nothing wrong, so why are you saying this? Please stop teasing me. I can't stand it."
Jiang Xiancao remained calm and said with a smile:
"When I exposed the true face of Jiang Huaizhu, the sinner, I didn't consider the Jiang family's reputation. Because she dragged all of you down, I took my anger out on you young masters. It was truly my fault."
Marquis Wen Ning couldn't hide the sneer on his face.
This guy had done such ruthless things before, and it was obvious that he was against the Jiang family. Now he was hypocritically saying all these nonsense. Did he really take him, the Marquis of Wen Ning, for a fool?
"So this prince brought some treasures to apologize, hoping to reconcile with the Jiang family."
Hearing this, Marquis Wen Ning hadn't had time to mock her in a sarcastic tone when she suddenly said:
"After all, Lord Hou, you are Miss Chu's uncle, and you have the final say in her marriage."
Marquis Wen Ning was almost amused by her.
He said without hesitation, "So the prince came here for this matter, but you are wrong. Yu Shu's surname is not Jiang. She is only temporarily living in the Marquis' Mansion. Her marriage can only be decided by her father. I can do nothing about it."
Jiang Xiancao seemed to have anticipated his refusal and shook the teacup again. "What if I said that if the Marquis is willing to do me a favor, I can get His Royal Highness Prince Zhan to drop his investigation into the five young masters of the Wenning Marquisate?"
