Chapter 498: The Vase of Cannon Fodder in the Machiavellian Story (11)
Mrs. Taishi suppressed the anger in her heart and held Jiang Lai's hand tremblingly.
"Come on, come back this time, why doesn't the Eighth Prince come back with you?"
"His Royal Highness has something to deal with. I heard that he wants to see the Censor... or someone. Oh, by the way, Censor Zhou, he has something important to do. As a woman, I must not ask too many questions."
"Censor Zhou..."
At dinner in the evening, Jiang Lai ate very little, which made his wife feel very distressed.
"What's wrong? The food at home doesn't suit your taste?"
"It's less oily, less salty, and tasteless. Everything I ate there tasted good, but now it's hard to swallow when I go home to eat it."
The lady’s chopsticks were clenched tightly.
Those who have a private doctor at home must know that eating a light diet with less oil and salt can ensure a strong body.
If you eat a lot of fish, meat, oil and salt every day, your body will be exhausted.
And Jiang Lai was in the prince's mansion every day, eating these things that would kill her!
The madam couldn't swallow it at all. She went back to the room and sighed one after another at night and couldn't sleep at all.
Taishi on the side was also a little sleepy.
"Are you sure you are here to tell me that the Eighth Prince is meeting Zhou Yushi?"
"How can the words spoken by the child be false? Everyone in the court knows that you are at odds with the censor of Zhou. That old guy always speaks ill of you in front of His Majesty and deducts your salary every time he goes to court. It was almost the same last time. I caused you to be demoted from the official position. I really think that I am the most powerful minister around His Majesty by relying on the black gauze hat on my head!
As a son-in-law, he actually took the initiative to befriend Zhou Yushi. What does that mean? Do you think your wings are strong enough to kick our Jiang family away? ”
Taishi kept frowning, leaning on the bed and thinking about something.
"This matter needs further observation. Chu Yunxuan is very thoughtful. If he really intends to make friends with Zhou Yushi, he will definitely not let Lai Lai know about it."
"I would rather believe what is true than what is not true! You record all the things around His Majesty. You repeatedly spoke well of Chu Yunxuan in front of His Majesty, allowing him to regain His Majesty's trust in a short time.
Well now, he must have felt that his position in His Majesty's heart was unshakable and that there were no talents available in the court, so he planned to kick the Jiang family away! ”
Jiang Taishi knew clearly.
If it weren't for the fact that Chu Yunxuan was his son-in-law, he wouldn't have risked his life to meet Chu Yunxuan and tried his best to help him eradicate his dissidents.
"I've actually seen it a long time ago."
"I see you are still holding it in! Do you want our daughter to be tortured to death by Chu Yunxuan!"
Taishi frowned and his tone was a little harsh.
"What do you know? The current situation in the court is changing, and the issue of seizing the heir is getting more and more intense. At first, I said that I wanted to fight for the queen's position for my daughter, but now things have gone far beyond expectations. Everyone in the court knows that I am the father-in-law of the eighth prince. It’s hard to get out!”
"What should we do? Is it possible that no one in the court is Chu Yunxuan's opponent now?"
"That's not true. The second prince is very powerful and has joined forces with the eldest prince. It will not be easy for Chu Yunxuan to defeat them both."
The second prince Chu Yunci.
This person is vicious and vicious, and his reputation is worse than that of Chu Yunxuan.
After a period of silence, Mrs. Taishi spoke.
"Isn't that boy Chu Yunxuan just trying to get rid of us? Don't you want to bear some infamy? Then take the initiative to divorce and let Lai Lai come back to her parents' house."
"That's nonsense. How can any woman take the initiative to reconcile? Besides, if you want to leave, who do you want to entrust your daughter to for the rest of her life?"
The lady looked determined.
"So what if we just let her be an old girl? It's better than staying in that place that eats people and letting her be bullied and wait for death! Who wants her to have a coward who is still thinking about respect and career even at this stage!" < br>
A deathly silence shrouded the darkness.
Separated by two walls, Little Pudding recited the conversation between the two to Jiang Lai intact.
"The original owner had a good father and mother, but unfortunately he met a scumbag and was manipulated invisibly."
"Well, what do you think is a more appropriate end for a scumbag?"
"Well...start with what he values most, let him lose whatever he cares about, hehehe...isn't this very evil?"
"This is called humanitarianism, doing justice for heaven, but I am too lazy. It is better to leave this kind of thing to professionals."
Little Pudding asked.
"Professional person?"
"Yes, there is a ready-made one right there."
Little Pudding's mind was spinning fast.
"Are you talking about Chu Yunci? Are you sure? The big villain has a bit of an antisocial personality. Everyone who opposed him died, and those who cooperated with him didn't end well in the end. In short, they were just killing each other indiscriminately. .”
He is the kind of person who is so ruthless that he would stab himself twice.
"Whatever, as long as Chu Yunxuan is not happy, then I will be happy. It is none of my business who gets it in the end."
Why did the villain lose? It's unpopular.
Although Chu Yunxuan's turtle grandson is not a human being, he can still pretend to be human in front of outsiders, but Chu Yunci is more free and easy. Hit me."
"Then what are you going to do now?"
"I'm going to sleep now."
Jiang Lai had a great heart and had no worries about trivial matters. Although he was hungry, he still fell into bed and went to sleep.
The next day I got up early and walked along the yard, not running or jumping, just walking.
Circle after circle, looking at the mountains and water, strolling until breakfast, then washing up and changing clothes.
The days at her mother's house were leisurely, with no one disturbing her from morning to night. Except for his wife who occasionally came over to chat with her, Jiang Lai spent the rest of the time reading.
When Mrs. Taishi arrived, Jiang Lai was flipping through a copy of "National Theory" in his hand.
"Why did you start reading these books? If you are really bored, go out and buy something with your mother."
"Okay."
Taishi Mansion is located on a street outside the capital city. Inside the moat behind it is the famous Flower Street. A row of weeping willows grow next to the lake. If it were spring, it would be full of vitality. Unfortunately, it is winter now, and the trees by the lake are bare and a bit depressing. .
There are several boats floating on the lake, and one of them looks very delicate. The front and rear curtains are tightly covered, and it looks very warm even if the wind does not blow.
"Yes, Chu Yunci is inside."
"He is following Chu Yunxuan."
"You are right, Chu Yunxuan is in the teahouse next to him, secretly meeting with that Zhou Yushi."
In the original plot, the original owner had already proposed a divorce at this time, and Chu Yunxuan, who was unscrupulous, set his sights on the censor's daughter.
This week the censor also has a daughter, who is deeply loved by the censor.
Same routine, same result.
"Obviously, Chu Yunxuan, this bitch, regards himself as a duck. He only wants to seduce rich and brainless young ladies like you."
Little Pudding's words are rough but not rough.
Chu Yunxuan can be regarded as simplifying the complex, enduring the humiliation and bearing the heavy burden, and he can sell his lust in order to achieve his goal, and he will never give up.
But yes, after living such an inhumane life in the cold palace, he must now be thinking about seizing power. (End of chapter)
