Chapter 514: The Vase of Cannon Fodder in the Machiavellian Story (27)
As an abandoned woman who had just divorced.
Why is it said to be an abandoned wife? Because in ancient times, especially the prince's concubine in the prince's palace, unless she was divorced and then said it was a divorce because of past kindness, it would be impossible for her to take the initiative to propose a divorce.
In other words, it seems to outsiders that they have been abandoned.
Most men would definitely avoid such a woman.
Jiang Lai himself didn't care, and Chu Yunci on the side didn't care much either.
During the meal, the guards tested the poison as usual. After testing the dishes one by one, they withdrew. Taishi also looked at the general and ordered all the maids to retreat.
"Master Laojiang, I am usually used to eating alone, and it would not be fun if there are servants present."
"Yeah, I understand, I understand. Your Highness can rest assured today. It will just be an ordinary family banquet without outsiders."
At first, Chu Yunci just ate the food in front of him quietly, because the maid who served the food was also removed. Chu Yunci looked at Jiang Lai, then tapped the table with his knuckled fingers, and looked at Jiang Lai. When I was eating, I looked at the plate in the middle.
Jiang Lai understood the idea and stood up to pick up food for him without hesitation.
Seeing this scene, a look of surprise and confusion appeared on the faces of the old couple opposite.
What does this mean?
Your Highness, is he using Taishi's daughter as a maid?
No, where is the tacit understanding between these two people?
No, no, these two people have already gotten to know each other this well?
Jiang Lai ignored his parents' blazing gazes and tried his best to help Chu Yunci, who had inconvenience in his legs and feet, prepare the dishes.
Anyway, if she doesn't eat, one more bite of these things will turn into meat. If she is not busy, she might as well get up and move around to gain favor in front of the boss and help her own father maintain the relationship between superiors and subordinates.
“I don’t eat fish in this temple.”
"Your Highness, fish is bright for eyesight and good for the body. Eating more is good for your health. Give it a try and just take a bite."
Chu Yunci frowned and pushed the fish and shrimp on the plate aside without any shame.
Jiang Lai continued to pinch him and pull him out. Finally, when Chu Yunci's anger appeared on his face, he heard Jiang Lai speak slowly.
"Hey... I peeled these shrimps myself. If you don't want to eat them, give them to me."
High-quality protein, don’t eat it for nothing.
Chu Yunci watched Jiang Lai take back the shrimps on his plate without changing his expression.
Although serving chopsticks were used from beginning to end, this behavior still gave off an aura of something wrong in the eyes of others.
Taishi frowned calmly, while Mrs. Taishi smiled to hide her emotions.
"My little girl doesn't understand the rules. Come Jiang, sit down."
Don't let Chu Yunci feel that he is shameless in trying to curry favor with him.
Seeing that the other party didn't react much and just put down the chopsticks silently, the old couple both stared at Jiang Lai to tell her to be honest.
When the sky darkened, Chu Yunci's bodyguards were already waiting outside in their cars. Taishi took him outside and bowed respectfully to see him off.
"My little girl has been disrespectful a lot today, so please be lenient with Your Highness. I will discipline you strictly after you are dismissed."
Chu Yunci waved his hand.
"It's okay. I think the young lady is frank, and it also allows me to see Taishi's sincerity."
Jiang Lai and Li left, and they kept fawning over him at the dinner table. Taishi and his wife also expressed their sincerity. This made Chu Yunci, who was suspicious by nature, relieved that the Jiang family was completely planning to switch sides.
In the past, his way of dealing with such chess pieces that rebelled from the enemy camp was to let them live and die, without giving the other side any chance to surrender.
This was his original plan for Taishi's family.
Watching them betray Chu Yunxuan, and then kicking them away mercilessly, leaving them alone and helpless in this dynasty and finally destroying themselves.
But this time, he made an exception and considered taking the Jiang family under his wing.
On the carriage, the counselor asked in a low voice.
"What does Your Highness plan to do with the Jiang family?"
Originally from the hostile camp, although he surrendered, His Highness has always been ruthless and will never give the other party any chance.
But this time he took the initiative to be invited to Jiang's house for dinner, which made the counselor a little confused.
Chu Yunci opened the curtain and looked up intentionally or unintentionally.
In the attic of Taishi's house, a round and delicate face was looking at the carriage seriously.
Feeling Chu Yunci's gaze, Jiang Lai didn't panic but smiled at him more enthusiastically.
Chu Yunci put down the curtain and slowly tapped the table with his knuckles.
In the eyes of the counselor, this move was obviously a sign of his happiness.
"Your Highness, will Taishi's family be included in the list?"
"Yeah."
The counselor was secretly frightened, but he did not dare to show it on his face.
This is the first time His Highness has treated an official who surrendered in the enemy camp like this.
By saying this, he acquiesced that Taishi was one of his own.
On the other side, in Taishi Mansion, Jiang Lai was sandwiched between an old couple, one responsible for sighing and the other responsible for education.
"How did you and His Highness meet?"
Jiang Lai told the truth.
"On the day of His Highness's birthday, I had an unexpected encounter with him."
"You and the Eighth Prince are reconciled. Do you have anything to do with him?"
Jiang Lai thought for a moment, then nodded.
"One thing is that the main reason is that my daughter no longer wants to stay in that place. His Highness the Eighth Prince doesn't have me in his heart, so in order to surrender to His Highness the Second Highness, divorce is the best way."
It turns out that my daughter can see these things in the court so clearly.
"From now on, you can stay at home well and don't have to worry about anything. You don't have to think too much about your father in court. Mom hopes that you can be as carefree as before you got married, so that mother will be satisfied."
The original owner had a good father and a good mother, but it was a pity that he met a beast. He was supposed to live a life of food and clothing, but in the end he ended up being despised, mutilated, and died of gluttony.
Thinking of this, Jiang went back and forth to the house and asked Xiaohe.
"How's it going with Aunt Zhao?"
"I made arrangements before I left and asked her to report to me every day. Now the female doctor's meals are still prepared by her. Aunt Zhao dare not not do what you asked to add."

After all, her man and her son were both in Jiang Lai's hands.
Life in her mother's family was really comfortable, and the original owner was loved very much. The most spacious and bright yard in the house was filled with her favorite flowers and plants. Every day when she woke up, she would take a walk and bask in the sun. She would go out with her parents to see the mountains and water. , Jiang Lai spent the rest of the time researching ways to lose weight while lying down.
Diet therapy has miraculous effects. In more than two months, Jiang Lai has lost more than 20 pounds, and his body has shrunk completely. He still has some plumpness but is completely within the normal range.
The previous clothes were too big, so Madam bought fabrics for Jiang Lai to make new clothes.
"You have completed the task of losing weight. Keep maintaining this weight. I find that you are quite fleshy and good-looking."
This was the first time that Little Pudding praised Jiang Lai for looking good.
Even though Jiang Lai had become a famous star all over the world, he never praised it. (End of chapter)
