Chapter 8 Plot Hole?
"Mr. Jiang, could you give me some time to think about it? Things are urgent..." Su Qinghan said, intending to delay time first and then find a way to escape.
"My patience is not very good."
"Miss Su, you'd better take advantage of this while I still have some patience. If I lose my patience, I may do something that will make you regret your whole life." Jiang Lan said, his eyes sweeping over her now exquisite and curvy body, as if full of deep meaning.
Su Qinghan choked slightly, her body trembled slightly, and she subconsciously shrank back.
Jiang Lan looked down at her and said slowly, "That's it. I'll have someone take Miss Su to take a bath first. Otherwise, it's so cold at night, and I'm worried that she'll get cold."
Su Qinghan choked again. She looked at the empty wooden barrel beside her and gritted her teeth. Wasn't she wet by Jiang Lan? Now she was pretending to be a good person again? However, she didn't say much. Her silence was considered as tacit consent.
Jiang Lan clapped his hands lightly, and several women walked out from behind him. They came to Su Qinghan familiarly, supported her, and walked out of the dungeon.
It was just because his hands and feet were chained that he couldn't walk fast. When he walked, he made a rustling sound, which was particularly clear in the quiet night.
Jiang Lan narrowed his eyes.
In fact, he still couldn't figure out the original plot until now.
Why didn't Su Qinghan have any guards with him when he came to rescue her sister, allowing her to succeed?
Plot hole?
Or is it for some other reason? But now, there is no way to explore those things. After all, after he traveled through time, the plot no longer developed along the original trajectory.
…
Not long.
After taking a bath and changing into new clothes, Su Qinghan came to the pavilion with the help of several maids.
However, the shackles on his hands had been removed at Jiang Lan's order.
Jiang Lan put his hands behind his back, turned around and looked at her, motioning for her to sit down.
The jade table in front of him was filled with delicious delicacies, smelling very fragrant and extremely luxurious.
"Master Jiang, the laws of Great Xia are very strict nowadays. During the reign of Emperor Xia, the laws were repeatedly enforced..."
After Su Qinghan sat down, he tried to mention the laws of Daxia to make Jiang Lan give up.
But as she spoke, a stream of light flashed in her jade hand under her sleeve, and a round and crystal clear photo stone appeared, which she held tightly in her hand.
This was the way to escape that she had thought of just now.
Today, Emperor Xia governs the country with four departments assisting him and supervising the world.
The four departments are the Department of Supervising Heaven, the Department of Suppressing Immortals, the Department of Peaceful Nights, and the Department of Supervising Laws.
The Law Supervision Department is responsible for supervising the law.
If Jiang Lan dares to violate the laws of Daxia and forcibly abduct a woman.
Even though his father was the Prime Minister of Daxia, it would be difficult for him to explain himself in front of the Law Commission.
If he had disregarded the law and trampled on the imperial power, then this crime would be even more serious...
This was the only way she could think of to escape.
Jiang Lan seemed not to notice Su Qinghan's little action and simply waved his hand to interrupt her.
He smiled casually, "Miss Qinghan, since you know who I am, you should understand how ridiculous it is to mention the laws of Daxia in front of me, right?"
"But this is okay. If Miss Qinghan finds this matter troublesome and the rules are a hindrance, then I can send someone to quietly get rid of your son-in-law. What do you think?"
"Or, I can help you cancel your engagement with him? That way you'll be free from now on."
When Su Qinghan heard the last sentence, the pupils in her beautiful eyes couldn't help but tremble.
She has been practicing diligently and never slacked off. What is it for? Isn't it to control her own freedom and not let her family control her marriage?
But if under the circumstances, the marriage between her and Lin Fan was cancelled, wouldn't the situation be even worse?
Even though Lin Fan was a bit of a waste, at least he couldn't interfere in her affairs, let alone touch her.
And second-generation rich people like Jiang Lan simply treated her as a plaything.
Once the novelty wears off and she gets bored, what will happen to her? "Mr. Jiang, you are so arrogant. You don't take the laws of Daxia seriously at all..."
Su Qinghan remained expressionless, but he held the photo stone tightly in his hand.
Jiang Lan looked at her with interest and chuckled, "Miss Qinghan, do you think the evidence against me in the Law Department is not enough?"
"Perhaps you could try to get me in."
Hearing these casual words, Su Qinghan's jade hands hidden in her sleeves trembled, and her breathing even choked.
She looked at Jiang Lan's casual and natural expression.
I just felt a chill coming from my back.
Even in the hottest summer, you can still feel the terrible chill.
He was clearly defying and trampling on the iron laws of Da Xia, but in his mouth, it sounded like he was talking about a trivial matter.
This attitude directly and clearly tells her that some people are born to be above the iron law.
This terrifying power almost suffocated her.
Su Qinghan fell silent, and then quietly put away the photo stone hidden in his jade hand.
Jiang Lan smiled slightly, sat back, picked up the teacup and took a sip.
The heroine was smarter and more rational than he thought, and she did not make any unnecessary struggles.
However, there is still some way to go before I can truly conquer her and use her for my own benefit.
Su Qinghan's character destined her to never truly succumb to power, and it is even more impossible to make her return to his side at the moment.
It's a pity that the original body has no cultivation at all. If there were any tough methods like planting a demon in the heart of Taoism, it wouldn't be so troublesome.
Cultivation...
As expected, in this world, cultivation is the most important thing.
As long as his physical condition recovers, with the resources of the Prime Minister's Mansion and the help of his mother's forces, it will be easy to catch up.
However, Jiang Lan scanned the memories in his mind and combined them with the plot he was familiar with, and suddenly realized that his parents were also planning something for his cultivation and health.
Later, the entire Xiangguo Mansion was executed, and the power behind his mother was affected and destroyed, which was also greatly related to this incident.
It’s really pitiful how loving parents are in this world.
Although he was the villain of the family, they doted on their son very much. They even didn't have any more children because they were worried that he would think too much.
He is the only one in the entire huge Xiangguo Mansion.
However, for the current Great Xia Dynasty, a useless son of the prime minister who indulges in sensual pleasures will be more conducive to stabilizing the situation.
"The most urgent task is to get the Immortal Fetus Creation Dew that can reshape the bones and rebuild the Immortal Body..."
"With strength, everything is no longer a castle in the air."
The Immortal Fetus Creation Dew is an extremely precious natural material in the early plot, which can be heard from its name.
It is said that just one drop is enough to transform a foolish man with no talent for cultivation into a genius that only appears once in a century.
This is also what Jiang Lan needs most at the moment.
