Chapter 171
The Emperor has ordered
The prince knew that he was not hesitating, but probably had other plans, so he was not in a hurry, but just told him again in a calm voice.
"Zhiyan, you don't owe the Xu family anything."
This made sense, and he had already signed a letter of severance with the Xu family, and they no longer had any relationship. The sooner he cleared up this relationship with the Xu family, the sooner he would have peace of mind, so he stepped forward and spoke softly.
"Second Brother, I always feel that people are relative. Even if it is blood relationship, it is necessary to pay attention to the give and take. If you just give blindly, it can only be called foolish filial piety."
The old should love the young, and the young should be filial to the old. The family should live in harmony and love each other. This is the right thing to do.
This is what her mother wrote in her diary. Although it is not applicable in the current national etiquette, Jiang Zhaoying feels that what her mother said makes sense.
How many people are suppressed by their parents and elders to the point of suffocation, and how many people have ruined their lives because of this kind of entanglement.
It's like you are a young seedling that can obviously grow healthily, but your relatives who are your parents and elders always step on you hard when you emerge, cutting off the sprouting seedling, and then... as a young seedling, you have to endure the pain to sprout again and grow again.
Over and over again!
"Help me take out all the things from the Wen Mansion. The Wen Mansion and I are very grateful to you. When I have time to pay my respects, I will tell them that you helped me a lot."
Hearing her say this, the prince looked at Xu Zhiyan. Xu Zhiyan's eyes were red and he was feeling mixed emotions. When he received the prince's warning look, he immediately suppressed his emotions and shook his head gently.
"As long as it is what you want, Senior Brother wants to give it to you. This is just a small matter, no need to thank me."
Seriously.
He really couldn't help but want to tell Zhaoying that he was actually Wen Shuye, her younger brother from the Wen family.
But obviously.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince didn't want her to know.
I really didn't expect that His Highness would be so stingy. So what? He had already decided not to snatch Zhaoying away.
Besides.
Since Zhaoying has expressed her feelings to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, as long as the Crown Prince does not change, she will definitely not change either. What is there to worry about?
Jiang Zhaoying looked at Xu Zhiyan, and when a golden light flashed in her eyes, Jiang Zhaoying actually saw a very familiar figure in Xu Zhiyan's body for a moment.
Like who?
How is that possible?
When she wanted to look at it again, a sense of fatigue rolled into her body. Jiang Zhaoying turned around and sat down, frowning slightly as she began to think.
What she saw just now was definitely not Xu Zhiyan's soul, but that of another person.
Did I see it wrong?
"Second Brother, do you remember what interesting things happened in the winter when I was seven years old?"
Xu Zhiyan was slightly stunned and asked her.
"Are you talking about the time when we took you to play in the snow and you fell down, and Su Tianyin and I fought for a whole day?"
Speaking of this.
Xu Zhiyan even admired Su Tianyin a little.
From the day he fell in love with Ying'er and decided to marry her, he has been working hard and showing his talents bravely. He never hides his love, partiality and enthusiasm for Ying'er. He openly holds Ying'er in his hands like a treasure, fearing that she would melt.
Later, the master couldn't bear it anymore, and was afraid that he would be obsessed with this relationship and ruin his life, so when he proposed marriage, the master read the fortune in front of him and told him that he and Ying'er were not destined to be husband and wife, but he didn't change his mind.
After leaving Jiang Mansion.
A master of zither playing appeared in the capital. It was said that the music he played could make people see their past and evoke the deepest secrets in their hearts. Countless people cried bitterly because of his music, and also rejoiced because of his music.
The man never showed up, and every time he played music there was always a gauze curtain or screen blocking the way.
But the more mysterious he was, the more people were interested in him, and countless dignitaries spent huge sums of money just to hear him sing.
Xu Zhiyan has always known that that person is Su Tianyin.
Many of his songs were composed out of sadness because he could not get the love he wanted.
and.
While he was investigating the case, he also looked up Su Tianyin's background, which almost gave him a shock.
There were two imperial uncles in Daye who had always been in fiefdoms. One was the King of Danyang, whose fiefdom was in Nancangzhou, and the other was the King of Pingxuan, whose fiefdom was in Yizhou.
The siblings Su Momo and Su Tianyin escaped from Nan Cangzhou. There was indeed a flood that year, and someone secretly hunted them down, forcing them to fight for their lives. They got separated in the panic and met Zhiyu and Ying'er by chance.
In fact.
They were the siblings born to Princess Danyang, but King Danyang only favored his concubine, so Princess Danyang died early and the pair of children disappeared from then on.
Xu Zhiyan thinks.
Su Tianyin should remember his identity, but he never revealed it, so Xu Zhiyan never told anyone, including Ying'er.
but.
At the moment, Ying'er's ability seems to be getting stronger and stronger. As long as she wants to see and puts her heart into it, she can see through everything about the other person.
Think of this.
A thin layer of sweat broke out on Xu Zhiyan's forehead.
Could it be that Ying'er could also tell that there was another person living in her body?
If so.
How would he explain it?
no.
He had to think of a way to cover it up and try not to let Ying'er find any clues.
Jiang Zhaoying breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Xu Zhiyan describe every detail of his childhood. When she looked up at Xu Zhiyan again, she found that she couldn't see him again. Only then did she breathe a sigh of relief.
"Don't worry."
Xu Zhiyan patted Jiang Zhaoying on the head.
"I will drive the Xu family out of the capital."
The abnormality in the Xu family is becoming more and more obvious, and everyone even knows that the Xu family is now haunted. At first, it was only a problem at night, but now it has started to happen even during the day. The entire Xu family is now in a panic. As long as they are in the capital, they will not have peace no matter where they stay.
The only way is to leave the capital.
The Xu family secretly invited several masters to perform rituals, but to no avail. Instead, the monster became even more ferocious after the rituals were performed.
so.
This group of people had the audacity to break down his door, occupy his house, and try to move in elsewhere.
"Your Highness, several young ladies have brought gifts."
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was slightly startled, then he took the list and realized that it was sent by Cui Wanwan from the Cui family, Li Changru from the Li family, and Zuo Yinong from the Zuo family.
There are two gifts.
One is for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and the other is for Jiang Zhaoying.
On the one hand, he thanked them for their help and said that everyone was safe. On the other hand, he told them that his family was very satisfied with this marriage and expressed that he would be loyal to His Highness in the future so he could rest assured.
The prince had been looking at Jiang Zhaoying, and seeing that she was smiling and not angry at all, he couldn't help but frown.
"I will prepare some gifts and have them delivered to their houses later."
Jiang Zhaoying spoke gently, and then said to His Highness.
"Your Highness, we have to go back to Second Brother's house."
Those people want to occupy Second Brother’s house, but that’s impossible.
"kindness."
The prince agreed with a cold face. She had always cared about Xu Zhiyan's affairs and always did everything herself.
Then.
Xu Zhiyan and Jiang Zhaoying bowed and left.
The prince threw away his robe and sat down in the chair with a sullen face. His gloomy expression made the atmosphere in the hall darken for a moment.
Shen Liuguang looked at his master quietly from the side and sighed deeply in his heart. Miss Jiang was very clear-sighted and would not be angry for those ladies.
on the contrary.
She also got along well with those ladies.
presumably.
She was looking forward to seeing those young ladies enter the palace even more than His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
"Go and arrange for them to enter the Prince's Mansion."
Since Jiang Zhaoying doesn't care, then bring them in earlier and let her know that these women are living under the same roof with him.
"yes."
Shen Liuguang glanced at his master, then turned around and went out to make arrangements.
Just went out.
He saw Jiang Zhaoying standing there waiting for him, and a hint of surprise flashed in Shen Liuguang's eyes.
"Angry?"
Jiang Zhaoying asked him.
Shen Liuguang pointed inside.
"How about you go and coax him?"
It's really interesting to rarely see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince get angry.
Jiang Zhaoying turned around and went in. When she lifted the curtain, she saw His Royal Highness the Crown Prince drinking hot tea sullenly. It was really interesting to see such a handsome and extraordinary person getting angry.
"I didn't ask you to go..."
The prince thought it was Shen Liuguang who came back again, and he scolded him coldly...but when he turned around, he saw Jiang Zhaoying.
This is a bit embarrassing.
Jiang Zhaoying walked to his side, turned around and fell into his arms, sitting on his lap.
The prince was startled, a light and elegant fragrance rushed into his nostrils, and he felt the blood rushing to his body as he held the warm and soft girl in his arms. He tightened his arms around her and asked her in a hoarse voice.
"What does this mean?"
Although he asked this, he held her tighter in his arms, holding her close to him.
"Nothing, just come here to brand it."
Jiang Zhaoying lifted the Crown Prince's smooth chin with her green fingers, then lowered her head and gently kissed him on the lips.
"brand?"
The sudden heat on his lips made his throat tighten, so that his voice was slightly hoarse when he spoke.
"kindness."
Jiang Zhaoying lowered her eyes and glanced deeply at his alluring red lips, stroking them gently and kissing them again.
"This place belongs to me, and I can't let anyone else use it."
"Just brand this?"
If this is the case, he thinks it could be branded a little more and not limited to the lips.
Hearing the Crown Prince's cheerful voice and softened handsome face, Jiang Zhaoying stood up and smiled at him.
"Let's brand this place today, and brand somewhere else next time."
Seeing that she was really about to turn around and leave, the prince chased after her and held her in his arms, lowering his head and pressing it against her soft little face, his eyes full of reluctance.
"It's not like you can only brand it once, why save it for next time?"
When I turned to face her and bent down to kiss her, my brain entered a hot and chaotic world for a moment.
Both of their bodies froze, and they didn't even know where to put their hands.
…
It was not until she gradually became proficient in the awkward movements and began to get into the groove, to the point where even her breathing became smooth, that Jiang Zhaoying pushed the Crown Prince away.
"I really have to go, Your Highness."
"kindness."
The prince held her hand, and the two of them slowly walked out of the room together. Only when they reached the gate of the mansion did Jiang Zhaoying pull her hand away. The prince stood at the gate and watched them get on the carriage.
"Your Highness."
Shen Liuguang and Cheng Tingan came over together.
"How is Lin'an doing now?"
"The Queen had someone poison Princess Lin'an. The attack occurs once a month. It seems that she wants to control Princess Lin'an. However, I have replaced the poison with a tonic medicine. There is no problem. Your Highness, should the princess know about this?"
No matter what, I have raised it for so many years. You can use it or poison it at will.
"Your Highness, should we tell Princess Lin'an about this?"
"Tell her, how can she grow up if she is kept in the dark about everything?"
If you don't grow up well, you may die in the palace someday.
"yes."
Shen Liuguang turned around and waved his hand towards the tree. The branches moved slightly, and a black shadow disappeared.
"Song Chengyu wanted to escape, so he asked Princess Lin'an for help, and he also wanted Princess Le'an to find a way to send the item to the Shen Mansion. He is the biological son of the Shen Mansion, so the Shen Mansion will surely find a way to save him."
The prince's eyes were cold.
"Just send someone over. Zhaoying doesn't like the Shen family, so she's using this as an excuse to send the Shen family out."
"yes."
Then the chief secretary of the palace came hurriedly carrying a tray of memorials.
"Your Highness, the number of casualties has been recorded, and the money and medicine have been arranged one by one. But what should the Liu Mansion do?"
"Leave it alone."
The Wen Mansion had been in a miserable state for more than a decade since it was raided. Naturally, his Liu Mansion should also remain in its current miserable and desolate state to let the world see what the end of being a treacherous minister would be.
"Zhaoying wants the birth dates of Liu Yanchen and Liu Xianle. Find a way to get them for her."
"yes."
After some instructions, everyone went about their business.
Jiang Zhaoying and Xu Zhiyan also quickly rushed back to their houses. At the same time, Lord Wang of Shuntian Prefecture, who had received the notice, also rushed here.
Standing in front of the door.
Looking at the gate that had been smashed into pieces, Xu Zhiyan's murderous intent burst out unconsciously.
In the small courtyard.
Xu Zhiyan saw that his bedding and clothes had all been thrown out, and the servants were busy moving all of Xu's family's belongings into their own rooms.
Without any hesitation, Xu Zhiyan drew his sword and chopped down the servant who was moving things.
He turned around and spoke to Lord Wang.
"Master Wang, you have seen the scene before you."
Lord Wang was also stunned by the scene before him. He had seen people robbing things before, but he had never seen anyone robbing things so blatantly.
"Go in."
Lord Wang frowned and waved his hand, and the officers and soldiers immediately divided into two teams and rushed into Xu's house, then shouted angrily.
"Stop, what are you doing, put your things down."
In a short while, all the people inside were driven into the yard.
The house is not big to begin with, and now it is packed with people.
Miss Xu and her children were currently sitting in the main living room drinking tea, complaining about the house and complaining about how small it was.
Hearing that Xu Zhiyan had returned, he shouted as he walked.
"I have been in the officialdom for so long and have gained nothing. What's the use of this small house? How many people can live in it? There is not enough room for the servants to live, and he doesn't think about us. Let him use the money to buy a big house. I will not live an uncomfortable life."
Listening to her yelling and clamoring there without any shame, Xu Zhiyan's anger burned up. Jiang Zhaoying's eyes were filled with sarcasm and she gritted her teeth.
"The word shameless is played out to perfection."
Lord Wang felt embarrassed after hearing this and wanted to cover his ears and turn around and leave.
It is true that everyone in the wealthy families is dirty, but it has never been so obvious.
As soon as the eldest daughter of the Xu family came out and saw this scene, she was immediately furious and rushed to Xu Zhiyan and said angrily.
"What are you doing? Are you letting outsiders laugh at you? The Xu residence is not peaceful, so what's wrong with us moving in?"
Xu Zhiyan turned and spoke to Lord Wang.
"Sir Wang, you have a backup of the marriage certificate, and my household registration has been moved out long ago."
"That's right."
Lord Wang nodded, and then preached to the people below.
"Now that a great event has just passed, the Emperor has specifically instructed us to protect the peace in the capital. All sensible people are being very careful, but I didn't expect there are still some who are so bold. Lord Xu's house has been robbed. Hurry up and arrest the thief. Then, check what is missing, what is lacking, and what is damaged. After you compensate according to the price, I will make a final decision."
