If he dared to bring people to block the gate of Zhennan Hou Mansion, Zhou Yunshen's little bastards would dare to chop him to death with knives on the spot.
If these women don't go, even if the rumors spread, it won't have much effect.
After all, Jiang Chen’s reputation was not very good in the past.
Nowadays, if there are some romantic affairs, people just treat them as jokes, and it is not as serious as witnessing them with their own eyes.
Jiang An smashed the teacup and cursed, "Nothing makes me feel at ease!"
"Sir, why are you so angry? It doesn't matter if the teacup is broken. Your health is more important. Don't get too angry!"
A graceful woman gently stroked Jiang An's chest with a pink silk handkerchief.
She looks less than 30 years old, but her eyes show the maturity of someone who is nearly 40 years old.
But her every frown and smile is very feminine.
The woman sat on his lap and said coquettishly, "Don't be angry, sir. He's just a scoundrel. Even if we really let him take the exam, can he pass?"
"You have no idea, this kid seems to have been reborn. The last time I saw him, I almost didn't recognize him."
"I don't know what methods the Liu family used to smooth out his temper and change him. He might even win the martial arts competition this time."
"Mei Niang, tell me, is there any other way to ruin his martial arts career?"
Mei Niang smiled, got up from him and walked around to the back.
She said delicately, "Even the official can't do anything, so how can I possibly do anything? How about...giving him a chin bean?"
"I can't even see anyone, where can I go?"
"That's it. I can't even see the official, so I don't know what to do."
"However, according to me, with so many people backing him, he's a good chance of passing the martial arts competition. Sir, why don't you make a big announcement and let everyone in the city know that Second Young Master Jiang is a sure winner!"
Jiang An was about to get angry and scold her for giving such a bad idea.
But on second thought.
If we can't stop him before the martial arts selection, there is actually a way to stop him after the selection.
Jiang An gradually smiled: "Mei Niang, you are truly my military advisor! I will go back and prepare now and spread the news that he is going to high school. That way, without me having to do anything, outsiders will naturally suspect that he cheated!"
"I'll go back and make arrangements, Mei Niang. I'll come see you later!"
Jiang An picked her up and kissed her hard, then put down a bag of silver and left in a hurry.
A maid came out from behind the house with water and a face towel and carefully wiped Mei Niang's face.
"Master Jiang, as a live-in son-in-law, slept with a wild flower outside and slept with someone else's sister. The storm over this matter hasn't passed yet. He has come to us several times. Aren't you afraid that Madam Jiang will be angry?"
"Men always think they're so great, and they think women will forgive them if they say a few soft words and act nice for a few days. He never thinks that if they really forgive him, he won't be treated coldly in a marginalized place."
The maid also echoed: "Before, he would spend thousands of taels of silver each time he came. Now he spends dozens of taels of silver at a time, and he has to put it in his pocket. If you don't know, you would think it's a lot!"
Mei Niang didn't mind the small amount of money, but the attitudes of the Jiang and Liu families could be clearly seen from the silver.
She put the silver back into the bag and said, "Take the silver and go secretly to find Madam Jiang and tell her what happened."
"Miss, what are you doing..."
"Now the Jiang and Liu families are all linked to the Zhennan Marquisate. The three of them are the most powerful. How could a mere Jiang An possibly win against them? I'll send this news to Madam Jiang, so that we can establish a good relationship. If anything happens to Jiang An in the future, Madam Jiang won't make things difficult for us."
Xiaoyu thought about it and felt that it made sense.
No matter who Jiang An has defected to, he cannot defeat the emperor. The Marquis of Zhennan is a favorite of the emperor. Unless he is proven guilty of treason, he will never fall.
But is the charge of treason so easy to prove?
Xiaoyu smiled and said, "Young lady is really smart. She can get along well with all these people!"
"In our line of work, the most important thing is to be able to get along with everyone. That's how you can live a long and healthy life."
"Miss, you are very wise! But there is one thing I cannot understand. Isn't Jiang Chen his biological son? Even a tiger won't eat its own cubs, so why would Lord Jiang harm his own son?"
Mei Niang snorted and sneered.
"He's hypocritical, selfish, and cowardly. First, he thinks all the children are Liu's, and the more successful they are, the more they'll suppress him. Second, he's afraid that his past dirty deeds will be discovered by them and he'll be held accountable in the future. Third..."
Xiaoyu listened carefully.
Mei Niang's eyes flickered as she smiled. "Thirdly, because he was stupid! He believed the words of an old Taoist and first attacked his daughter, then his son. After what happened with Jiang Liuli, he realized that his relationship with the Liu family was only superficial, and in his heart he felt venomous towards the Liu family, thinking they were all laughing at him."
"Xiaoyu, remember this: the lower a man climbs up from the bottom, the more inferior and sensitive he becomes. If you encounter such a man in the future, you must stay away from him."
Xiaoyu nodded thoughtfully.
Although she was only Mei Niang's maid, her status was the lowest, she had seen too many dignitaries.
The better one's background, the more consistent they are in what they do.
People like Jiang An are better at acting.
If I ever have a chance to escape from my lowly status, I must stay away from them!
When Mrs. Jiang received the message, Jiang An had not returned yet.
She nearly broke the corner of the table.
Xiaoyu didn't dare to stay and left immediately after speaking.
The nanny asked anxiously, "I didn't expect the master to be so cruel. To ruin the Second Young Master's reputation like this is like cutting off the source of the trouble!"
"This old fellow, if he gets close to Concubine Shu, we won't be able to touch him. He doesn't even think about who he is!"
"Ma'am, should we..."
Mammy made a throat-slitting gesture.
Since Jiang An dared to do it, he can't be kept.
Madam Jiang shook her head. "No, he has Consort Shu's backing and is a court official. If he were to die suddenly, and someone were to hold him responsible, we would be implicated as well."
"The best way to kill him is for the Emperor to make him lose everything, and then we can take action."
"Then no one will know about it, and we can wash it clean."
Mammy knows this very well, but...
"The master really wants to kill the young masters. If he succeeds..."
"Hasn't he always been looking for a chance to show off? I'll assign him a position in this martial arts competition. A position gives him the opportunity to do something shady. If he dares to lay a hand on Chen'er, don't blame me for crushing his reputation into the mud!"
Nanny has been in the Liu and Jiang families for so many years and knows a thing or two about these methods.
"The master's reputation has already been affected. If he adds fuel to the fire, his reputation will be ruined."
"He relied on our Liu family to climb up the social ladder, yet he still eats in such an ugly way. It's disgusting! Send someone to tell father that while suppressing Jiang An, he should also consider Chen'er's reputation. Let him think of a way to prevent it before it happens."
"I understand."
