Chapter 454 Test
Jiang raised her head and looked at the second prince with a steady gaze and asked, "Who is it?"
The second prince met Jiang's gaze and said firmly, "This person is the current Prime Minister of Dai Viet, Han Lie!"
"What did you say? Han Lie!?" Jiang stared at the second prince in disbelief, and then her eyes turned into anger.
"I know, you are trying to alienate us! You just can't stand me doing well!"
"You are worthy of being the son of that bastard Xiao Ruoyu. You can't stand me doing well in the slightest."
The second prince laughed heartily and said, "Grandma, you are now with Han Lie day and night. There are plenty of opportunities. We can find out whether it is his plan or not by testing it out."
"In the eleventh year of Pyeongchang in Dai Viet, the late emperor of Dai Viet wanted to weaken the national strength of Da Xia at the lowest cost, so he summoned important ministers to discuss, but did not get a satisfactory plan."
"After that, the late emperor of Dai Viet solicited strategies from more ministers."
"At that time, Han Lie was a small official in the Ministry of Personnel. He came up with this vicious plan and presented it."
"The late emperor of Dai Viet finally chose this plan, and the next year, the vicious plan succeeded."
"Just one month after the palace banquet tragedy, the news reached Dai Viet, and the late emperor of Dai Viet was very pleased and immediately promoted Han Lie to the position of Vice Minister of Personnel." "From
then on, Han Lie became a trusted and important minister, and was favored by their late emperor. Soon after, he was promoted to Minister of Rites, and later to Prime Minister."
Jiang listened to the second prince's confident evidence, her face darkened and her eyes gradually dimmed.
Looking at the second prince's expression, tone, and clear evidence, it didn't seem like a fabrication.
Jiang was panicking.
The second prince's voice continued, "Grandma, do you know what happened to Han Lie after he arrived in Dai Viet?"
"He started out as a poor scholar, studied hard, and finally passed the imperial examination and became the top scorer. Later, he married the daughter of the Minister of Rites."
"However, he has no roots in Dai Viet, and his father-in-law has no real power and can do very little to help him. He has worked hard in officialdom for more than ten years and has only been promoted to the position of Censor of the Ministry of Personnel."
"But because he came up with this vicious plan, he suddenly became a celebrity in the court!"
"By the way, Grandma, I almost forgot to say that this time, the plan to use insects to harm me and my brother, the Crown Prince, was still Lord Han's idea."
When Jiang heard this, her body swayed and she held her forehead with one hand, as if she was very uncomfortable.
"You have been with Han Lie day and night, and you have given your whole heart to him. I really can't bear to see you being deceived by such a villain."
"Just imagine, can you still sleep with the murderer lying next to you?"
Jiang Shi said with all her might, "I will find out."
The second prince bowed and said, "Then I am relieved!" After that, he walked to the window, took a breath, and jumped into his private room.
Seeing her second brother coming back, Xia Miaoyuan hugged his legs excitedly and said, "Second brother, you are great!"
The second prince made a gesture to her to keep quiet, and carried her in his arms and left.
...
Jiang Shi's side.
After the second prince left, she sat still for a long time before she calmed down a little.
After waiting for another hour, Han Lie and Yao Jinse came to the private room to find her.
Yao Jinse pushed the door open and came in, saying softly, "Mother, father has found a new place for us to live. We will take a carriage there in a while."
Han Lie also said, "Hui'er, don't worry. I'm here and won't let that crazy woman hurt you in the slightest." Only
then did the father and daughter realize that something was wrong with Jiang.
Jiang sat there woodenly, motionless, with no expression on her face.
Jiang's nanny was standing aside, rubbing her head.
"Master, Miss, a bad guy just jumped into the private room and knocked me unconscious. Madam must have been frightened." The nanny frowned.
Han Lie and Yao Jinse were very nervous when they heard this, and hurried forward to hold Jiang's hand.
"Hui'er, how are you? Do you want to see a doctor? Did the bad guy hurt you?" Han Lie asked with concern.
Jiang's eyes moved, and she looked at Han Lie and said, "Nothing happened. It was a thief who jumped in and scared me. I gave him a piece of silver and sent him away."
The nanny rubbed her head and asked in confusion, "Why did you hit me for something that could be dealt with with a piece of silver? It's so unlucky!"
After hearing what Jiang said, Han Lie and his daughter were relieved
. Yao Jinse put a veil on Jiang and helped her downstairs.
Soon, the family drove to a house in a carriage.
This house was slightly smaller than the previous one and was slightly off.
Han Lie pulled Jiang into the house and explained, "This house is a bit unfair to you. You can just live together for now, and I will find you a suitable place to live after some time."
Jiang's face showed no sadness or joy, and she just kept silent.
Yao Jinse said softly, "Father, we are not so picky. As long as our family can be together every day, it will be the best."
Han Lie smiled with relief, "My daughter is really your little cotton-padded jacket. What she said is so heartwarming. I am so blessed to have such a daughter."
The father and daughter talked and laughed, and helped Jiang into the bedroom.
Then, Han Lie and Yao Jinse arranged for the servants to clean up and prepare dinner.
After busying around for a while, Han Lie came to the bedroom, sat by the window, and said softly, "Hui'er, are you feeling better?"
Jiang pulled the corner of her mouth and smiled, "I'm fine. I was just a little scared by what happened today."
Han Lie took her hand and stroked it gently, "Hui Hui'er, you've been wronged today. I'm sorry!"
Jiang's eyes flashed, and she changed to a soft voice and said, "Husband, you and I were originally a pair of lovers. But now we can only do this, sneaking around all day long, and having to be on guard against her. At her age, she acts like a cheating man." At
this point, Jiang squeezed out a few tears, pulled out a handkerchief from her sleeve, and pretended to wipe it.
Han Lie hugged her in his arms distressedly, "It's all my fault. I'm sorry for you and let you suffer injustice. In the future, I will definitely let you sit in the position of Mrs. Han, and we will be upright. I will never let you suffer any injustice."
Jiang closed her eyes tightly and squeezed out more tears, "When have I ever suffered such injustice! Like a rat crossing the street, hiding here and there."
"You are so old, and you still suffer such insults..."
Han Lie hugged her tighter, "Hui'er, don't cry, crying makes me feel uncomfortable." Han Lie coaxed her
for a long time before Jiang gradually stopped crying. She wiped her tears, looked at Han Lie steadily and said, "Husband, I really can't wait for even a day."
"Since you want me to be the legitimate Mrs. Han, why don't you kill her now!"
"Once she dies, I will be Mrs. Han."
