Chapter 165: The same deep scheming
If Lei Zhen had never seen the world, he would have been shocked by Jiang San, let alone sitting opposite Third Madam Jiang Nan and looking into her eyes.
"But what?" Jiang Nan asked.
"Third Madam, the young master's greatest reliance on becoming the heir is your mother's family, because your mother's family is deeply intertwined with the interests of the Lin family."
"This is your biggest trump card, and it almost guarantees victory. No matter whether it's the First Madam or the Second Madam, they can't stand up to you."
Lei Zhen's expression became serious, and his eyes began to flash with wisdom. He also admired the figure of the third wife.
"But this is also the most unpredictable part. You should be aware that in ancient times, when an emperor married a princess from another country, the resulting child could not be made crown prince, right?"
“Even if there are, you can count them on one hand.”
Lei Zhen calmly pointed out the biggest risk in the Third Madam's absolute advantage, which is that the Lin family must be on guard!
There is nothing wrong with a marriage between two families, as it is just for the sake of interests, but the heir usually will not establish the offspring of one party in the marriage.
This is because they are afraid that the other party will swallow up their own home, so they have to be on guard.
"You're right." Third Madam Jiang Nan nodded and said, "This is Chengxian's greatest advantage, but also its greatest uncertainty."
"Mom, I didn't want to do..."
Before Lin Chengxian could finish his words, he was interrupted by Jiang Nan.
"You're a child who knows nothing. Can you please let me worry less? You're 18 years old this year, and Lei Zhen is only one year older than you. You should find the gap."
Jiang Nan looked displeased and criticized his son.
"oh……"
"Sit nearby and listen carefully."
“…”
Jiang Nan had no way to deal with this son.
After scolding her son, she looked at Lei Zhen with admiration in her eyes.
They are all of the same age. Lei Zhen single-handedly brought Hui'an under his command, and then came to the Magic City alone, where he was arrogant and domineering with ease.
Really...
"Madam, putting aside this question, there is another very important question." Lei Zhen thought for a moment and said, "Is Second Young Master Lin Chengkun married? I think with his wisdom, he will definitely choose a woman who can help him, such as the daughter of a powerful family."
"If he can find one, then your advantage will be gone. The Lin family will definitely choose Lin Chengqian, who is easier to control, because the Second Madam comes from a lower class background."
This involves a multi-faceted game. With Lin Chengkun's wisdom, how could he not think of this?
He will definitely find a lady from a certain family to marry, and not one like their Lin family, but a truly powerful family.
After all, the power of the Lin family is based on money; the power of the Third Madam Jiang family is also based on money.
Although he is rich and powerful, he does not have real power.
If Lin Chengkun could marry into a truly powerful family, he would undoubtedly be the heir to the Lin family.
"Well said," Jiang Nan praised, "You have such a sharp vision. No wonder the Second Madam thinks so highly of you."
"Madam, you are too kind. I was just talking nonsense, haha."
Being humble when necessary is Lei Zhen's true character.
He could see that even though Jiang Nan was a king, he would still capsize if he wasn't careful.
"Then what do you think the eldest lady's chances are?" Jiang Nan asked again.
"I haven't been there, so I don't know." Lei Zhen shook his head: "But judging from Lin Chengqian's behavior, the eldest lady should be very troubled."
Jiang Nan smiled and leaned over again to pour him a cup of tea.
"Lei Zhen, it was the eldest lady who wanted to kill Su Fengyi back then. You should know that, right?"
"clear."
"I have always had a calm personality, and Su Fengyi gave birth to a daughter, so she poses no threat to me. Besides, she has suffered a lot."
Lei Zhen understood that this was a gesture of goodwill.
To be exact, Third Madam Jiang Nan had been trying to win me over since they had tea.
It was indeed the eldest lady who wanted to kill Su Fengyi. Telling this to Lei Zhen was to tell him that no matter who he helped, he could not help the eldest lady. This was his stance.
"Madam, what can we expect?" Lei Zhen asked, holding up his teacup. "What can you promise us, and what can you deliver for us?"
The previous probing is almost over, now it’s time to negotiate terms.
To be honest, Lei Zhen would rather support the third wife.
Lin Zhen was able to give Han Bao a hug when she was most desperate, so she must be very soft-hearted and have no bad intentions.
As for Lin Chengxian...
Get him involved in the underworld!
This kid has already paid the protection fee, so of course he has to be brought to Hui'an to hang out for a while to fulfill his dream of becoming a gangster.
Then I'll give him a tattoo of Guan Gong, which will make this guy so cool.
"Return to the Magic City and establish the Fourth Hospital." Jiang Nan said in a deep voice, "I will provide you with assets that will satisfy you."
Lei Zhen took a sip of tea and said, "It's a bit bland."
"Your interests are tied to ours. If we suffer together, we suffer together, and if we prosper together, we prosper together." Jiang Nan smiled faintly. "Whatever we can plunder from the First and Second Madams is yours. We will not ask for any advice."
This is a tacit permission for Su Fengyi to attack the first and second wives in the future and seize their savings.
But at the same time, he will be tied to the third wife.
To put it nicely, it's a matter of mutual benefit, but to put it bluntly, you have to be Jiang Nan's dog and do what she tells you to do, and not do what she doesn't.
"Third Madam, are you kidding me?" Lei Zhen put down his teacup and said, "Even if the young master inherits the Lin family, do you think the old men will allow us to touch the First and Second Madams? You are so insincere. You are so insincere."
“Hehehe…”
Jiang Nan smiled, like a blooming lotus.
"Lei Zhen, you are just too smart. If Chengxian could be half as good as you, I wouldn't have to worry about him."
"Talk in the study."
Jiang Nan put down the teacup, turned around and ordered: "No one is allowed to enter without my permission!"
Entering the study, Lei Zhen closed the door.
The third wife is not as indifferent as she appears to be. Her scheming is probably no less than that of the second wife.
Suddenly, he saw a stack of photos on the table, all of them were of himself and Little Phoenix!
