Chapter 125: Zhou Xiangqin came to ask for someone

The Zhou family started planning this more than 20 years ago.

Where was Zhao Zhuoxi more than 20 years ago?

Just weaned.

How could Zhao Zhuoxi defeat the cunning Zhou Xiang?

Are you angry or not?

Jiang Jiu looked at Zhao Zhuoxi who was panting with anger, and there was nothing he could do.

"Okay, don't be angry. He is old and you are still young. You can outlast him even if you have to. You should think about how to explain to King Ling the cause of Master Huiyuan's death."

Zhao Zhuoxi sat back on the imperial concubine's couch.

"I really want to chop this cunning villain to death."

"Sixth brother, don't worry. Prime Minister Zhou has a lot of complicated connections in the court and the capital. I'm afraid it will be difficult to shake them for a while."

Jiang Jiu thought for a moment and said, "It's not that difficult. Just find the weak spot of Prime Minister Zhou. I just don't know how to do it.

What is Prime Minister Zhou’s weak spot…”

It is indeed hard to judge. For him, his daughter can be sacrificed, his son can be sacrificed, and everyone around him can be sacrificed.

Besides, he has neither lack of money nor power.

What is his weak spot?

Lu Ming said he would send an assassin to kill him.

However, Zhou Xiang was surrounded by many experts. To deal with a coward like him, Zhao Zhuoxi didn't want the warriors he had trained with great effort to die in vain.

Chu Yu said that he was poisoned.

But Prime Minister Zhou's diet was comparable to that of the imperial palace, and he had two rounds of food tasters around him. I was afraid that if he was not poisoned to death, the food tasters would be.

Xiao Yimo was also at a loss.

But just when a group of people were in trouble.

The guards came to report that Prime Minister Zhou had actually come to the Ninth Prince's residence.

Jiang Jiu and others were stunned, and Xiao Yimo immediately jumped up from his chair.

"Why is he here? He's not here to call me to task, is he?"

Chu Yu rolled her eyes at him speechlessly: "Except for us, no one knows how he died. We all thought he died of old age and passed away."

Originally, before Monk Huiyuan picked out the next national master, he was already close to death. Usually, one can sense the existence of the next national master only when the previous one is about to die.

Now, Monk Huiyuan has replaced the real imperial master, and he doesn’t necessarily die when he is supposed to. But man proposes, God disposes, and he died anyway.

Therefore, no one asked about the real cause of his death.

Jiang Jiu and others acted in secret, but they could not afford to miss any chance.

Zhou Xiang's arrival made everyone suspicious.

"Your Majesty, I have met you. May your Majesty live a thousand years." Prime Minister Zhou was very polite to Zhao Zhuoxi.

Zhao Zhuoxi uttered a gloomy "hmm" and ordered the maid: "Bring tea to the Prime Minister."

But Prime Minister Zhou quickly refused: "Your Majesty, I am here today to take my granddaughter home on behalf of Lord Chang."

Zhao Zhuoxi frowned slightly: "Granddaughter? How come there is your granddaughter in my palace?"

Although this is the question, everyone knows that Jiang Jiu is Zhou Xiang's granddaughter, not his maternal granddaughter, but his biological granddaughter.

At that time, Monk Huiyuan fell in love with worldly things and gave birth to Jiang Jiu with Jiang Qiuyue.

Huiyuan admitted nothing, but he admitted this incident very quickly.

But Huiyuan was pretending to be Chang Mingyuan's second brother, so according to the relationship, Jiang Jiu was nominally Chang Mingyuan's niece. However, yesterday Chang Mingyuan suddenly fell ill and was unable to get out of bed.

So today Zhou Xiang came to pick up Jiang Jiu and bring him to the Chang family.

Jiang Jiu's heart moved. He just said that he wanted to find something to hold against Zhou Xiang. Now, if he could enter the Chang family and interact more with the Zhou family, he would naturally be able to find something to hold against him.

However, everyone was unwilling to let Jiang Jiu enter the Chang family alone and was worried about her.

Zhao Zhuoxi was the first to object: "Master Zhou, when she was in Sucheng, she had already sold herself to my palace. Now Master Zhou said that he would take her away, so he took her away. You must give me an explanation."

Prime Minister Zhou hesitated for a moment and said, "What do you want to say, Your Majesty? Are you afraid that I will get involved in the business of the queen?"

Unexpectedly, before Zhao Zhuoxi could speak, Zhou Xiang started talking to himself.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. No one can take away their business."

Zhao Zhuoxi looked at him indifferently, his eyes filled with murderous intent.

"Even so, you need to ask her if she agrees."

Jiang Jiu agreed immediately without even thinking about it.

"It is the human wish to return to one's roots. Although my mother died early, it is fate that I can find my relatives. I am willing to follow Master Zhou..."

Zhao Zhuoxi looked at Jiang Jiu worriedly, but Jiang Jiu was full of confidence.

"That's fine, but she grew up in the countryside and doesn't know the rules. I have a playmate here with her, and they came to the mansion together. Since she is willing to leave with Lord Zhou, let her playmate come with her and keep her company."

Zhou Xiang agreed readily.

"When she arrives at the Chang family, she will be the young lady and mistress of the Chang family. Naturally, she will have maids and old women to serve her. It is understandable that she can bring one or two familiar people with her."

"Jiu'er, come with grandpa."

Zhao Zhuoxi gave Nishang to Jiang Jiu, and Jiang Jiu took Nanny Qian with him, packed their luggage simply, and left with Zhou Xiang.

Jiang Jiu didn't expect that they didn't go to Chang's house, but went directly to Zhou's house.

After getting off the carriage, Prime Minister Zhou explained, "Lord Chang is seriously ill, and to prevent the infection from spreading to you, Pingping and Tingting have also been taken in. From now on, you and them should live in the same courtyard."

I really want to sleep and give me a pillow.

Jiang Jiu was still thinking halfway that if he lived in the Chang family, it would be too inconvenient to go to the Zhou family. It would be great if he could live directly in the Zhou family.

Unexpectedly, Prime Minister Zhou actually brought both girls from the Chang family over.

He also let Jiang Jiu live with them. Although Jiang Jiu didn't know what Zhou Xiang's intention was, it was exactly what she wanted.

Just as Zhou Xiang led Jiang Jiu into the backyard to meet Zhou Xiang's wife, Old Lady Zhou, Chang Mingyuan's two daughters in the hall stood up excitedly when they saw Jiang Jiu.

"Grandfather, why did you bring her here? She was the one who ordered the fake Jiang Jiu to kill my mother. She is our enemy."

Jiang Jiu didn't say anything, but Zhou Xiang frowned.

"Nonsense, she has no grudge against your mother, and the case has not been tried yet. Who knows if that woman deliberately impersonated Jiuer? After all, your father is in a high position, and there are many people who want to curry favor with him."

Yes, the case has not even been tried yet, but it has been determined like this. Minister Zhou still trusts her quite a bit.

Jiang Jiu also pretended to be aggrieved.

"My two sisters, I was indeed kept in the dark. When I was in Suzhou, I stayed at her house. She knew that I was the daughter of the Chang family, so she stole my jade pendant and went to Beijing to look for her relatives."

"If I hadn't become a maid in Prince Qi's mansion and followed the prince to the capital, I would never have known about this matter, let alone exposed her. I am a victim just like you all."

Zhou Xiang waved his hands and said, "Alright, the murderer of your mother has been caught, let's just leave it at that. Jiuer will live with you in the mansion from now on, and you sisters should get along well with each other."

After finishing his instructions, Zhou Xiang turned around and left.

When Old Mrs. Zhou saw Jiang Jiu, she smiled kindly and waved at her.

"Come, good child, come to grandma and let me take a good look at you. Alas, it's pitiful that your identity has been replaced by someone else, and you are still a maid. If it weren't for your father... we wouldn't have known that we had such a relative..."

I guess of the two girls in the Chang family, Jiang Jiu is indeed the granddaughter of the Zhou family.

Therefore, Jiang Jiu found that Mrs. Zhou's love for her seemed to be genuine.
