Chapter 124
Grant marriage
perhaps.
He was worried that his sister would not agree, so he did not dare to speak up. Did they need a middleman to mediate?
With so many things happening, they have completely broken off relations with their stepmother, and they will no longer care about her. They dare not do anything openly, let alone interfere in their affairs.
so.
As long as his sister is willing and likes someone, he, as her brother, will support whoever she wants to marry.
When they reached the central courtyard, the butler was slowly and respectfully approaching His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. His tall figure and noble demeanor were the most dazzling sight in the world.
Jiang Zhiyu led everyone to rush over to meet them.
"Meet your highness."
Jiang Zhaoying stood up, looked up at His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and pursed her lips slightly.
His Highness came here in changed clothes, and... this brocade robe was given by her. The style was designed by her and made by the best embroiderer in the capital. It shows all of His Highness's advantages, and he is truly incredibly handsome.
"Your Highness, my sister said that Your Highness treated us graciously at noon, so I made some Jiangnan-style dishes today and would like to invite Your Highness to try them."
"kindness."
Seeing that His Highness agreed, Jiang Zhiyu smiled and walked forward to lead him towards the dining hall.
In this way.
Jiang Zhaoying and Xu Zhiyan walked forward side by side. Smelling the elegant fragrance on her body, Xu Zhiyan felt a dull pain in his heart. He took a deep breath, turned around and whispered to her.
"Although the hunting ground is surrounded and there are guards, it is no less dangerous than deep in the mountains and forests. You must be careful. I will hunt some wild deer, rabbits and pheasants for you. You can make some braised and preserved meats for next year. They are very delicious."
"Shu Yu is very good at this. What she cooks is especially delicious. So Second Senior Brother should work harder and cook more."
Jiang Zhaoying agreed with a smile. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince walked in front, listening to their intimate conversation. There was no movement on his handsome face, but something seemed to be churning deep in his heart.
He stopped and looked at Xu Zhiyan.
"Miss Xu has been looking for you, did you know?"
"I know, Your Highness."
When Xu Zhiyan heard the words "Miss Xu", his face darkened. Jiang Zhaoying even pulled Xu Zhiyan's sleeve and asked her with a frown.
"You've been away from the Xu family for so many years, what does she want to do with you?"
then.
Xu Zhiyan could compose poems at the age of three and was extremely intelligent. Old Master Xu even said in public that the Xu family would be handed over to him to manage in the future and that he would be well trained. However, Miss Xu, who was still a young girl and was Xu Zhiyan's biological sister, turned around and tried to kill him. She was later rescued by the prince and left the Xu family ever since then. She has never been back for all these years.
This Miss Xu is not only cruel and ruthless, she controls everything in the Xu family. Even her husband is a son-in-law who married into the Xu family. She has been living a smooth life for so many years and is very proud of herself.
But for some reason, she suddenly sent someone to find Xu Zhiyan, saying that she wanted to meet him and discuss something.
"She must have encountered something that made her want to find you. Otherwise, given her personality, she would have wanted you to stay out forever."
To put it nicely, you will stay outside. To put it bluntly, you will die outside!
The Xu family has a total of five branches, and each branch has legitimate sons and illegitimate sons.
But.
Ever since the eldest daughter of the Xu family took charge of the family, problems have gradually arisen among the Xu family's descendants. Some died, some were injured, and some became disabled.
In short.
None of them is normal, except Xu Zhiyan who has severed his relationship with his family.
Jiang Zhaoying frowned tightly, and said in a cold voice after making some associations.
"Over the years, she has given birth to three daughters but no sons. She probably doesn't like the other brothers because they are weak and sick. But you are the best in everything and you are her younger brother. Could it be that she wants you to go back and get married and have children?"
Xu Zhiyan's handsome face was indifferent and he clenched his fists tightly.
"That's exactly what she was planning. She was probably planning to kill the father and keep the son."
That person.
As long as the goal can be achieved, all means will be used.
If he really believed her sweet words and went back to get married and have children, he would probably die as soon as the child was born.
"She has some courage and strategy, but she is too cruel."
Anyone who opposed her or blocked her way was basically eliminated by her, so she has been the one calling the shots in the Xu Mansion for so many years, and even the old lady and her parents had to listen to her.
After Xu Zhiyan gave the letter of severance of engagement and left the Xu family, he no longer cared about their affairs.
I thought it would be peaceful.
But I didn't expect it.
Trouble still found him.
"Second Brother, do you have any plans?"
After sitting down together.
Jiang Zhaoying leaned over and asked him, worry and anger gradually showing in her eyes. Xu Zhiyan looked at the pain in his heart and raised his hand to gently stroke her head.
"I originally thought that as long as they never reached out to me again in this life, I would just pretend they didn't exist, but since they still came to me, I naturally won't be polite."
It's not that he didn't have any preparation over the years. It's true that the Xu Mansion is under her control, but that doesn't mean he didn't arrange one or two people in it.
"Your Highness, please try this eight-treasure wild duck dish. It is very fresh and tender."
Jiang Zhiyu stood up and served the food to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. The Crown Prince ate slowly, his eyes focused on the worry in Jiang Zhaoying's eyes. As he lowered his eyes and slowly ate the food, the Crown Prince spoke in a calm and deep voice.
"Just do whatever you want to do. Everything is just the same. If you don't move forward, you will move backward."
Jiang Zhaoying nodded and looked at Xu Zhiyan. Xu Zhiyan's eyelashes trembled fiercely. He knew what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince meant. Miss Xu was pushing forward blindly and leaving no way for others to retreat. If he didn't fight back with all his strength, he would probably be forced to death.
They understood the hint from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
Even if Xu Zhiyan wanted to kill someone, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would be behind them to protect them.
Just saying.
Si Nan came in and said that a woman came outside, claiming to be the eldest daughter of the Xu family, and wanted to look for her younger brother.
"Let her in."
Jiang Zhaoying said lightly.
"Take her to the main hall. We will go to see her after we finish our meal."
Si Nan smiled when he heard this, thinking that the eldest lady of the Xu family was going to stay there.
Because someone was waiting for them, they ate the meal particularly slowly and enjoyed it particularly well. After the meal, Jiang Zhiyu led the prince to the main courtyard, while Jiang Zhaoying and Xu Zhiyan went to the main hall.
The eldest daughter of the Xu family sat in her seat with a sullen face, her heart filled with anger. Just as she stood up to curse, she heard Xu Zhiyan's voice outside.
The eldest daughter of the Xu family immediately turned around and sat in the chair. When she was tidying up her sleeves, Xu Zhiyan walked in.
She sat very dignified, with a hint of coldness and majesty, and when she looked at Xu Zhiyan, a feeling of superiority surged in her eyes.
She was waiting for Xu Zhiyan to come over and greet her sister.
So many years.
In the end, she let Xu Zhiyan go and let him be free outside. Now he is doing very well in the Imperial Observatory. He should be grateful.
otherwise.
With her methods and temper, she would definitely take Xu Zhiyan's life.
The male members of the Xu family, no matter how related they are to her, can only rely on her to survive, otherwise they will all die.
Jiang Zhaoying's eyebrows were indifferent, and there was a hint of hostility in her eyes when she looked at Xu Qingyun who was sitting in the main seat.
This woman was truly extremely arrogant and looked down on everyone. She actually sat in the main seat in Jiang's residence.
That is the seat where the host can sit.
As a member of the Xu family, she could only sit in the guest seat.
Seeing her trying to show off in the Jiang residence, Nanny Li got angry and walked up to her and scolded the maids in a cold voice.
"What kind of behavior is this? No one has any manners. Aunt Xu is just a guest, how can she be seated at the main seat? Please ask Aunt Xu to take a seat at the guest seat immediately."
Xu Qingyun didn't expect that Nanny Li would point it out so bluntly. A trace of embarrassment flashed across his face, and he stood up with a snort and returned to his seat.
Shu Yun and Shu Yu hurriedly changed the cushions, and Jiang Zhaoying and Xu Zhiyan then sat down in the main seats.
"The Xu family and the Jiang family have never interacted with each other. I wonder why Aunt Xu came here?"
After so many years.
All the male members of the Xu family were killed by Xu Qingyun, resulting in the lack of development for all the male members of the Xu family.
At present, only the second master of the Xu family is serving as the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, and the other one is Xu Zhiyan in the Imperial Observatory. There are nothing else.
At the beginning, Xu Qingyun thought it was a big deal. As long as she could give birth to one or two sons, she would have room for development when they grew up.
But who would have thought that, as if it was a retribution, she gave birth to three daughters in a row, and then fell seriously ill and lost her health, and she never got pregnant again.
After a long time.
The drawbacks continue to emerge.
Although the second master of the Xu family was an official, his family moved out early and ignored her.
so.
She wanted to take Xu Zhiyan back, arrange for a woman to become pregnant and give birth to a child, then adopt the child under her name and raise him well.
Xu Qingyun frowned slightly. She didn't expect Jiang Zhaoying to be so disrespectful to her and give her a cold look as soon as they met.
"I'm here to take Xu Zhiyan back. He doesn't know the rules. He has lived in someone else's house for so many years without telling his family. He is old enough now and should know his own business, so I'm taking him back home."
A hint of irony flashed across Xu Zhiyan's eyes.
"I severed ties with the Xu family eight years ago. I'm sure Aunt Xu knows about this."
When Xu Qingyun heard this, he became angry and glared at Xu Zhiyan.
"The Xu family is in trouble now. How long do you want to hide?"
"In trouble?"
Xu Zhiyan raised his eyes with a cold face.
"If you had killed fewer brothers, seized less family property, and lost less conscience, the Xu family would not be what it is today. Xu Qingyun, do you really think you are so smart?"
"You are slandering me, Xu Zhiyan. Do you have any evidence?"
Xu Qingyun's chest heaved with anger. She had always done those things secretly and without leaving any trace, so she wouldn't dare say anything even if someone suspected her.
Xu Zhiyan gave her a cold look.
"The evidence has been sent to the Xu family. If you leave now, you might be able to catch up. If you are late, they will have seen everything."
"You, are you really going to be so cruel?"
Xu Qingyun stood up and glared at Xu Zhiyan hatefully. This brother really had no feelings for her at all.
"Grandma Xu."
Jiang Zhaoying also stood up and stood opposite her with a look of hostility.
"Who is so cruel that you don't know? Don't you know how many times Brother Zhiyan has died in your hands? And you still have the nerve to come to my door and take him away. What is your purpose in taking him away? Do you dare to tell me?"
"I won't talk to you, Xu Zhiyan. If you still have the Xu family, come back with me immediately."
Xu Qingyun said this and turned away. Although she didn't believe that Xu Zhiyan had evidence, what if he really did?
She is ruthless in her actions, but she has to take her reputation into consideration. On the surface, she is still a good person. She has been maintaining this attitude over the years, and she cannot let Xu Zhiyan reveal it.
Xu Zhiyan looked at her back coldly, turned around and whistled softly. A fluttering sound was heard, and then a carrier pigeon rested on his arm. Xu Zhiyan put a letter on the pigeon and then let it fly away.
Turn around.
He and Jade Road.
"She goes to the temple to chant on the fifteenth day of every month, and moves her hands and feet when she passes by Tongzipo."
After saying this, Xu Zhiyan showed a sarcastic sneer on his face.
"She likes to pretend to be noble and kind. She always thinks that no matter how many bad and vicious things she has done, as long as she goes to the temple to burn incense and chant scriptures, she can get rid of all her evil deeds and wash away all her sins. So she goes to chant scriptures and pay for incense every month without fail."
Jiang Zhaoying's eyes were filled with helplessness as she listened. People are always so unreasonable. They think it's justified for them to do evil and even blame others, saying that it's others who are to blame.
"Shu Yu, take away all her businesses."
"Yes, I will arrange it right away."
Since Xu Qingyun has started to target Xu Zhiyan, she will not give up until she achieves her goal.
so.
They had to fight back.
"Second Brother, you have to be careful."
"I know."
Xu Zhiyan nodded, and then the two of them slowly walked towards the main courtyard.
But I don’t know.
In the main courtyard at this moment.
Jiang Zhiyu was kneeling in front of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince with a bitter look on his face. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was drinking hot tea slowly without even looking at Jiang Zhiyu.
Jiang Zhiyu looked up at the prince from time to time, wanting to beg for mercy, but he didn't dare to speak.
His knees were sore and sweat broke out on Jiang Zhiyu's forehead.
"Your Highness, what are you angry about? Can you tell Zhiyu Ming clearly? I am very scared when you are like this."
Jiang Zhiyu crawled forward two steps on his knees, raised his head and looked pitifully at His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had a gloomy face at the moment. He made Zijun kneel down as soon as he came in, without telling him the reason. He couldn't figure it out no matter how hard he tried.
"Jiang Zhiyu."
"Yes, Your Highness."
Jiang Zhiyu nodded hurriedly in response.
"What do you think of Xu Zhiyan and Jiang Zhaoying?"
"Very good." Jiang Zhiyu became excited when the two of them were mentioned. "We know each other well, and Zhiyan has always liked my sister. I think my sister will be very happy if she marries him."
The prince lowered his eyes and drank his tea slowly, a dark light flickering in his eyes.
The soul of Wen Shuye resides in Xu Zhiyan's body. Marrying Xu Zhiyan is equivalent to marrying Wen Shuye. It's really... fate.
"Is there no better candidate?"
For example, his Royal Highness the Crown Prince?
"Of course there are, but I'm not familiar with them and I don't feel safe. If I run into a bastard like the Song family again, it will be bad. Zhiyan is better."
"Is he the most satisfactory candidate for your sister-in-law?"
"yes."
Jiang Zhiyu nodded like a chicken pecking at rice and counted on his fingers.
"Zhi Yan is handsome and opinionated. He is especially good to my sister. He is also my father's disciple and knows everything about him. I like him very much. The key is that after marrying him, I don't have to move out. I can just live in the Jiang Mansion."
After saying.
Jiang Zhiyu took a step forward, looked at His Royal Highness the Crown Prince seriously, and spoke loudly.
"Your Highness, why don't you arrange a marriage between my sister and Zhiyan? They are really a perfect match!"
