Chapter 164: The Chi Family Falls



Nafu's words really aroused Jiang Qingqing's curiosity.

She tilted her head slightly to the side, avoiding the figure of the emperor's uncle, and looked at Nafu at the door, motioning him to continue.

Nafu didn't dare to look up. At this moment, he could feel the burning gaze on the top of his head.

"Yesterday, Master Chi was drinking in Qi Town and fell into the water because he was drunk. Perhaps he was frightened and had a high fever. I heard that the Chi family has already requested the imperial physician from the palace overnight."

When Chad heard what Nafu said, it seemed that there was nothing to be happy about.

Chi Dao got drunk and fell into the water. It feels like this is something someone like Chi Dao would do. I can only say that God is very good. He is good enough to teach such a shameless person a lesson.

Jiang Qingqing thought the matter was over. She was about to turn her gaze back to the emperor's uncle, but she heard Nafu's voice.

"Besides that, there is another matter that also concerns the Chi family."

Jiang Qingqing nodded casually. She picked up a piece of fruit on the table, handed it to the emperor's uncle, and shook the fruit in her hand.

Xiao Linting lowered his eyes and looked at Luohan**, the sweet-looking girl. He raised his head and looked at her with a pair of bright eyes flashing in his eyes.

God knows how much Xiao Linting wanted to follow Jiang Qingqing's little hand and eat the fruit flesh.

But he doesn't have the qualifications right now.

He refocused his attention on the fruit flesh that Jiang Qingqing was pinching in her slender hands, then stretched out his hand with his palm facing up.

On this side, Nafu whispered, "We just received news from the capital. The people from the Supervisory Department found that the Chi family had illegal merchants who smuggled items from the capital and transported them out of the river without following the normal procedures. This has been going on for a year or two, and the amount involved in reporting taxes is as high as several thousand taels of silver."

Jiang Qingqing was putting the fruit pulp on Xiao Linting's palm. Hearing this, her hand froze in mid-air. She didn't even realize that her fingertips were falling on Xiao Linting's palm.

[The Supervisory Department didn't notice it earlier, and didn't notice it later, but it had to notice the problem of the Chi family at this critical juncture! ! Damn it, how can I use the people of the Chi family to deliberately worsen my image in Beijing? ! The old blind date partner left, and there will always be a new blind date partner. It's over, and it's a new round of tug-of-war. ]

Xiao Linting's eyes fell on Jiang Qingqing. Seeing Jiang Qingqing's dazed look, he pursed his lips, which was something he rarely did.

But after hearing Jiang Qingqing's complaints in her heart, he subconsciously began to purse his lips and hesitated.

"This is great news, Your Highness. Hasn't Master Chi been bothering you these days? Now that he is seriously ill and the Chi family has been found to have committed such a large amount of corruption, it is only a matter of time before he is demoted to the capital!"

When Nafu thought of this, he didn't have time to observe Jiang Qingqing's expression. He was even very considerate and told Jiang Qingqing that there would be a lot less trouble in the future.

Jiang Qingqing looked at Nafu with a forced smile, feeling extremely uncomfortable.

Chi Jia was the first person sent by the Xu family, so he must be the best candidate to be used.

To make use of rumors, one naturally needs to have a big handle in hand.

She withdrew her hand with a serious look on her face.

No, the Chi family's handle was obviously hidden very deeply. Otherwise, they could have been hidden under the feet of the emperor in the capital for a year or two without being discovered. They must have their own abilities...

Who is that? Someone who is more capable than her and can easily find other people's weaknesses in Beijing.

And, killed him with one strike.

The more Jiang Qingqing thought about it, her eyes involuntarily fell on Xiao Linting in front of her.

Jiang Qingqing: “…”

The eldest princess never interferes in the affairs of her husband. Empress Xu is eager to let someone from the Chi family become a prince consort. Concubine Zhao's current purpose is unclear. As for Emperor Qing... this cheap father actually loves his daughter the most. Chi Dao is definitely not the best candidate for a prince consort in the capital.

These people are all more capable than her, and it is impossible for them to do it.

Then only...

Jiang Qingqing's gaze towards the emperor's uncle became more and more solemn.

The little girl narrowed her round and lovely eyes dangerously and looked at the man in front of her with a straight spine.

"Uncle, please confess and I will give you a fair shake. Did you do this to the Chi family?!"

Jiang Qingqing looked at Xiao Linting viciously with a tone of gnashing teeth.

That was the person she had worked so hard to keep as a target!!!

Xiao Linting had already guessed Jiang Qingqing's budget after hearing what she said just now. He realized at this moment that he was a little nervous when he returned to Beijing for the first time, because he saw that the little guy was annoyed by the people of the Chi family.

He was reluctant and didn't want to see Jiang Qingqing being wronged, so he took the initiative to bring down the Chi family.

At this moment, Xiao Linting could only touch his nose awkwardly and remained silent for a while.

Since the emperor's uncle didn't say anything, it was 100% certain that he was the one who did it.

Jiang Qingqing was so angry that she almost burst into tears, but then she thought again, the emperor's uncle's starting point was for her from the very beginning.

Since the starting point is good, you can't get angry.

Therefore, Jiang Qingqing was busy chanting a few calming mantras in her heart, and then she calmed down her anger.

Xiao Linting's slightly awkward atmosphere was still lingering in the main house. Less than half a cup of tea later, Gan Lin hurried into the main house with new information.

He took the opportunity to help Xiao Linting break the awkward atmosphere.

"Your Highness, I have found out that Empress Xu and Concubine Zhao have been having a tense relationship these days because of the construction of the Prince's Palace. I heard that Concubine Zhao felt that the eldest prince had more people than the second prince to build the palace, so she was unhappy."

Gan Lin eloquently recounted the intrigues among the concubines in the palace in recent days.

These trivial things are nothing. For Jiang Qingqing, the fact that the women from the two largest families suddenly became hostile to each other in the harem was definitely not just a personal grudge between the two of them.

She had been playing the pig and eating the tiger in the Tianqi Palace for so many years, and had already understood the characters of Empress Xu and Concubine Zhao thoroughly.

The eldest daughters of noble families will sooner or later be responsible for the reproduction of family offspring from the moment they are born, so they are taught the best conduct from a young age.

Therefore, Empress Xu and Concubine Zhao, two young ladies from aristocratic families born into noble families, definitely did not have such shallow concepts. They would definitely not lose sight of the big picture because of trivial matters.

There must be other secrets that Jiang Qingqing doesn't know.

Her brows gradually furrowed. Xiao Linting looked at the little girl's solemn expression. He raised his hand with heartache and pressed her brow with his thumb, trying to smooth out her wrinkles.

Jiang Qingqing felt the emperor's uncle's movement, and she looked up at the tall emperor's uncle in front of her.
