Chapter 115: Evil Thoughts
"Brother Jin, Lan'er asked you to arrest this person because she framed Lan'er, but... it was more for you."
"For me?"
Chu Zijin was both puzzled and moved.
What I don't understand is what use such a little girl can be.
What touched me was...
"Lan'er, I am in your heart indeed. You think of me in everything."
Lin Shilan was once a famous talent and beauty in the capital.
Although his family background is ordinary, he is extremely outstanding.
At that time, Chu Zijin already admired Lin Shilan very much, but unfortunately... Lin Shilan was very polite to everyone at that time, but also kept everyone at a distance.
Chu Zijin could only sigh that the goddess was pure and self-disciplined, but at the same time he regretted that the goddess did not favor him.
But now... the goddess is in trouble, and only Chu Zijin can protect her from the wind and rain.
Chu Zijin originally thought that the goddess had been so kind to him during this period just because he could prevent her from suffering in the Jiaofangsi and from showing up in public, but now he realized... it turned out that the goddess had really begun to take him to heart.
For a moment, Chu Zijin was inexplicably moved.
Lin Shilan tried hard to give a very gentle smile.
"Brother Jin, I, of course I did this for you..."
"From the moment you rescued Lan'er from the sea of suffering, you have become a hero in Lan'er's heart."
"Brother Jin is good to Lan'er, so Lan'er will naturally be better to Brother Jin."
After Lin Shilan finished her sweet talk, she took a deep breath and started talking about business.
"Brother Jin, you are the eldest grandson of the Qian Prince. The other descendants of the Qian Prince are far inferior to you in terms of literary talent and character. Just because your father is a concubine's son and cannot inherit the position of the crown prince, you are in an awkward position in the Qian Prince's mansion. The better you perform, the more wary the other descendants of the Qian Prince's mansion will be of you."
"They even drove you directly from your fiefdom to King Qian's side, preventing you from developing your own power."
Lin Shilan first pointed out Chu Zijin’s pain points.
Chu Zijin felt the same way.
Yes, he is always envied because he is too outstanding.
Sure enough, only Lan'er understands him best!
At the same time, Jiang Yueyao, who was in a coma, couldn't help but nodded repeatedly in her heart.
[I understand. It turns out that the rich man that Lin Shilan is with is the grandson of King Qian. Furthermore, he is the son of King Qian’s eldest son, and he is also the grandson of King Qian who was excluded...]
[Tsk tsk tsk, Lin Shilan doesn't know how to find someone with more prospects when she's dating a rich man. This doesn't fit her personality.]
[However... those who have a better future will definitely value their future more, so how could they be involved with Lin Shilan?]
[I think this person was carefully selected by Lin Shilan]
[I guess Lin Shilan is still hoping that her husband will become successful...]
[Oh, looking at it this way, isn’t this fairy girl the stepping stone for Lin Shilan to find her husband a successful man? ]
[What is she planning to do with this fairy? ]
Lin Shilan smiled slightly.
"Brother Jin, do you know... who is Jiang Yueyao's sister?"
Chu Zijin didn’t quite understand why he should care who a young woman’s sister was, but since Lan’er asked, he answered honestly... "I don’t know."
Lin Shilan already knew the answer.
"Her sister is Jiang Yuehua, and she is the sweetheart of Young Marquis Xie of the Loyal and Brave Marquis's Mansion. The Jiang family and the Loyal and Brave Marquis's Mansion share a relationship of mutual prosperity and mutual loss..."
Chu Zijin: ...
This time, he took a closer look at Jiang Yueyao.
Of course, he also knew about the plot against the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery's Mansion some time ago.
Although the main force was Prince Qing, Prince Qian's Palace also contributed.
As a result, the plan failed and instead caused great damage to the Prince Qing's Mansion.
Therefore, when Chu Zijin heard about people who were related to the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery Mansion, he became very concerned.
"So Lan'er, what you mean is..."
Lin Shilan smiled slightly.
"Brother Jin, what do you think...if the daughter of the Jiang family loses her innocence and the whole capital knows about it, will the Jiang family still have the face to stay in the capital? Even if they dare to stay, can the other daughters of the Jiang family still get married? Even if they really dare to get married, can they join the loyal and brave mansion with the eldest princess?"
[Meow, Lin Shilan, you are so vicious! ]
[It’s fine if you plotted against me, but you actually want to harm my sister by harming me! ]
[I have a sore on my back and my umbilical cord is oozing pus—it’s terrible.]
[No, this fairy's sword has already quenched my thirst! ! ! ]
Just when Jiang Yueyao couldn't help but want to take action.
Lin Shilan spoke again.
"Brother Jin, in the mansion of the Loyal and Brave Marquis, except for the eldest princess, the rest of the family are idiots."
"When the Grand Princess leaves in the future, there will be no one to protect them, and it will be easy to take down that family... The Grand Princess knew this, so she chose Jiang Yuehua early on."
Chu Zijin became interested.
"So, Jiang Yuehua is very powerful?"
"Of course she is amazing... The Jiang family has only been back in Beijing for a short time, and Jiang Yuehua has not only become the princess's study companion, but has also cured the princess and the empress's illnesses. She is highly regarded by His Majesty and was even named the county lord by His Majesty."
"If Jiang Yuehua really joins the Loyal and Brave Marquis' Mansion, it will be even more difficult to deal with the Loyal and Brave Marquis' Mansion in the future."
"If you can stop this, Brother Jin, does that mean that the Loyalty and Bravery Marquisate will be weakened to some extent?"
"If King Qian knew, he would definitely look at you differently, Brother Jin."
Chu Zijin was a little excited.
To be praised by his grandfather has always been his goal.
However...
After all, he is the eldest grandson of King Qian. Although he doesn't have much brains, he still has some knowledge.
After the excitement, Chu Zijin reacted quickly.
"It's not a big achievement to just prevent the marriage between the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery and the Jiang family. He can't marry Jiang Yuehua, but there are so many famous ladies in the capital...it should be easy for Xie Yanqing to marry one of them."
Although he was reluctant to admit it, Xie Yanqing was considered a romantic figure in the capital, and there were countless young girls who liked him.
Lin Shilan immediately looked at Chu Zijin with admiration, which made Chu Zijin's vanity extremely satisfied.
The goddess actually worships me so much!
"Brother Jin is wise. Preventing the marriage between the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery and the Jiang family is of course nothing... But if the Jiang family and the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery become enemies, it will definitely be a great achievement."
"Oh? How do you mean?"
Lin Shilan tells the story.
"The reason why the Loyal and Brave Marquis's Mansion can be so prosperous today is mainly due to the Grand Princess... and more importantly, it is due to the Grand Princess's connection with the royal family."
"But the Grand Princess will eventually leave... Then how will the Loyal and Brave Marquisate maintain contact with the royal family? With so many troops under command, it would be a disaster if we cannot gain the trust of His Majesty."
"That's why the Grand Princess chose Jiang Yuehua... Jiang Yuehua was able to gain the favor of His Majesty the Queen and the Princess by relying on the Jiang family, which has no background. She can be considered the benefactor of the Princess and the Queen."
"If Jiang Yuehua marries into the Loyal and Brave Marquis's Mansion, she will become a new bond between the Loyal and Brave Marquis's Mansion and the royal family."
"But...what if Jiang Yuehua's beloved sister was raped by someone from the Loyal and Brave Marquis' Mansion? And it was a scandal known to everyone in Beijing...how could Jiang Yuehua possibly marry into the Loyal and Brave Marquis' Mansion? On the contrary, she would become enemies with the Loyal and Brave Marquis' Mansion!"
"Although Jiang Yuehua is a nobody, she is a nobody who can appear in front of His Majesty and the Empress every day. If we use some tricks to make her often say bad things about the Loyal and Brave Marquis Mansion in front of His Majesty and the Empress, over time, even with the Grand Princess, His Majesty and the Empress will probably have a grudge against the Loyal and Brave Marquis Mansion."
