Chapter 239 Help, Brother, save me!
"This is where Yuan Dehai's brilliance lies. Handing the man over to Yuan Chengzhou can guarantee his son's safety, but it's not the safest move. Yuan Chengzhou is far away in Quanzhou. If something goes wrong, who can guarantee that Yuan Chengzhou will be reliable?"
Perhaps because he was in the royal family and had seen too many such secretive tactics, when Ji Xiaohan talked about this matter, his expression was calm, as natural as if he was discussing the beautiful moonlight tonight.
Su Wanyan was confused but gradually came to her senses, "Ji Xiaohan, could it be that the Zhao Village was tragically destroyed because..."
"The destruction of Zhao Village was not caused by me, but by Yuan Dehai taking this opportunity to eliminate Zhao Tianfu's family and ensure that his son could hide it from everyone. By then, no matter which side the Yuan family stands on, they will not be left without a way out."
Su Wanyan's expression grew increasingly serious. "You're saying that Yuan Dehai isn't optimistic about the Crown Prince's faction, and that he's even prepared for both scenarios?"
Ji Xiaohan looked at the little princess with a smile and couldn't help but praise her once again, "Princess, your intelligence and sharpness are truly extraordinary. Although Yuan Dehai supports the Crown Prince's faction on the surface, he has secretly planted people under Ji Mingzhao's wing. With one family supporting two parties, the Yuan family will not be in dire straits even if either side falls."
Su Wanyan sneered, "It's a pity that Yuan Dehai is so shrewd and calculating. His wishful thinking is doomed to fail. The ultimate winners of the Imperial City will never be those in the vortex. Only those who watch the fire from the other side of the river will be the biggest winners."
The two were chatting casually when suddenly a noise came from outside the restaurant, accompanied by the faint sound of a woman crying, "Wuwu... I don't want to go with you, let me go! Help, Brother Yi, save me!"
Su Wanyan's eyebrows suddenly lit up with joy, "Wow! Our show is about to begin, Ji Xiaohan, hurry up, let's go and take a look."
Having said that, Su Wanyan couldn't wait to pull Ji Xiaohan out. She looked so anxious, as if the "Brother Number One" that the woman outside was crying for was her.
Ji Xiaohan let the little princess pull him out, and the two of them soon came to the window sill. The height was just right, allowing them to clearly see Xiao Yi and others who were surrounded by the people, as well as the women of the Yuan Mansion.
"Is Yuan Chengzhou's reaction speed quite fast? He realized that he was deceived and came here immediately? Tsk tsk tsk tsk, he just pushed a group of women out to cause trouble, what kind of ability is that?" Su Wanyan expressed her thoughts while watching the movie.
Ji Xiaohan held the little princess's shoulders, fearing that she would be too excited to watch the show and lean forward, and risk falling from the building. "Isn't this also part of the princess's calculations?"
Su Wanyan thought Ji Xiaohan was complimenting her, and she accepted it with satisfaction. "Well, there's no other way. If we want these stingy people to pay, we have to be calculating. One hundred thousand taels! If it weren't for saving his precious son's life, even if Yuan Chengzhou was beaten to death, he wouldn't give it to us."
The noise gradually died down after Xiao Yi and his group came out. Xiao Yi and his group were all tall and strong, and when they stood in the crowd, most people were really scared.
"Brother, wuwu... I'm sorry, Master Yuan's men beat me too hard, I really can't hide." There were traces of whipping on Sheng Miaoyi's clothes, and the clothes were torn in several places, making her look extremely embarrassed.
