Chapter 1135 Forced

"How is it possible, Dad, did you guess wrong?" Uncle Jiang jumped up as if his tail had been burned by fire, "Last time Prince Xiao came to the palace to ask for an audience with the emperor, the second prince was still protecting our Jiang family, why didn't he How many days will it take to die? ”

Jiang Shangshu fell down on the chair dejectedly and said feebly, "I'm afraid, you idiot, the second prince will find out about Xiao Guozhang. You know, the second prince is devoted to the emperor. Even if the emperor is seriously ill, he will never I never thought about replacing it. The change of dynasties shows how important the emperor's position is in his heart, but our Jiang family secretly met with Xiao Guozhang. Do you think the second prince would not know that Xiao Guozhang secretly met with civil and military officials during this period? "

Uncle Jiang's face suddenly turned pale, his eyes were frightened, and his body was trembling slightly, "Dad, what should we do?"

Jiang Shangshu sighed and felt as if he had aged ten years. "Xiao Wei is dead. I am afraid that we will no longer be able to join hands with the Xiao family to support the fifth prince. The Xiao family and his son are both narrow-minded and vindictive." People who are afraid of I'm afraid that after we marry Nu'er into the Xiao family and stand in the same boat as the Xiao family, and support the fifth prince to ascend to the throne, we, the Jiang family, will face a situation where the Xiao family will cross the river and tear down the bridge. "< br>


Uncle Jiang was shocked and uneasy.

"We can't advance, we can't retreat. Dad, will our Jiang family fall because of this?" Uncle Jiang was trembling in his heart, but he was unwilling to do so.

His father had gone through several lives and deaths, and finally came back alive from the battlefield. He also managed to please the second prince before reaching his current position. Originally, he wanted to take advantage of the opportunity of the emperor's death to change the dynasty, and join hands with the Xiao family to support the fifth prince to ascend to the throne. In this way, the Jiang family will have the merit of following the dragon and will be granted the title of marquis by the new emperor. This is what Xiao Guozhang personally promised him.

If the Jiang family is granted the title of marquis, they will be noble. From now on, generations of people will be able to enjoy the glory and wealth brought by the title. Maybe they can become the head of a noble family in the capital like the Chu family, and everyone will look up to them.

Unfortunately, all these dreams were shattered by his unsatisfactory son.

When he thought of his son, Uncle Jiang gritted his teeth angrily and really wanted to rush in and beat him severely.

"It won't work here for the Second Prince. Boss, let your wife prepare some gifts to beg the Second Princess." Jiang Shangshu decided decisively.

No matter what, even if there was a glimmer of hope, he didn't want to join forces with the Xiao family, otherwise, the end would be tragic.

However, if the Jiang family does not fall, unless the Xiao family falls first, otherwise, the Jiang family will eventually be forced into desperation by the Xiao family.

However, the collapse of the Xiao family is not easy.

Jiang Shangshu thought about it and felt that he still had to ask the second prince.

However, for this request, he was not asked to ask the second prince himself, but his daughter-in-law was asked to ask the second princess. In a roundabout way, maybe there would be results?

After Mrs. Jiang went out, Jiang Shangshu was full of expectations at home.

But how did he know that after the eldest wife of the Jiang family went to the Second Prince's Mansion, she was waved away without even being allowed in.

"Our princess is praying for the emperor in the Buddhist hall and copying scriptures. She doesn't see anyone. Mrs. Jiang, please come back."

Mrs. Jiang did not see the second princess, and Jiang Shangshu was extremely disappointed.

Just when the family was in despair, Prince Xiao came with a large number of guards and forced Jiang Shangshu to marry his granddaughter to Xiao Guozhang. Otherwise, he would have to hand over the eldest son of the Jiang family and pay for Xiao Wei's life with his life. .

Uncle Jiang gritted his teeth angrily, "These Xiao family father and son are really not human beings. That night, when Xiao Guozhang came to beg us, he smiled like a pug. Now, Xiao Wei is dead, but the Jiang family is blamed. It’s so deceiving.”

Mrs. Jiang covered her face and sobbed, "Dad, Nu'er is my lifeblood. I must never let her marry an old man. She is only thirteen years old, and Xiao Guozhang is two years older than me." If Nu'er marries him, it will be a dead end."

As he spoke, he burst into tears. Jiang Shangshu's worried brows did not even lift. If he could save the entire Jiang family by sacrificing one granddaughter, then he would definitely agree to the marriage without hesitation.

However, I was afraid that the Xiao family would be ruthless and would bite back in the end. When the time came, not only would the Jiang family's wedding clothes be in vain, but the whole family would also end up in ruins.

The people from the Xiao family are not easy to get along with.

However, if he does not agree to the Xiao family's request now, does he really want to hand over his grandson?

Jiang Shangshu frowned, feeling that this matter had fallen into a trap from the beginning, forcing the Jiang family to step into the abyss of hell, and there would be no recovery.

"Dad, please speak up. Although our Jiang family has many people with martial arts skills, if the Xiao family breaks in and arrests people, I'm afraid our Jiang family won't be able to stop them for a while."
< br>

This matter was originally the Xiao family's fault, but after Xiao Wei's death, it became the Jiang family's fault.

If someone from the Xiao family wants to come in and arrest someone, even if someone from the government comes, there is still no reason to stop him.

Since ancient times, people have killed to pay for their lives and debts to pay for their money. The Jiang family owes the Xiao family a life. Prince Xiao wants people from the Jiang family to pay for their lives. That is legitimate and no one in the government can control it.

Otherwise, if the Xiao family sued the eldest young master of the Jiang family to kill Xiao Wei, and the government officials came, they would have no choice but to take the eldest young master of the Jiang family away.

When a person enters a government prison, how can the Xiao family let him out alive?

Jiang Shangshu understands this, and so does the eldest son of the Jiang family. Therefore, the eldest young master of the Jiang family must never leave the Jiang family, otherwise, there will be no explanation for him even if he dies.

"Dad, Prince Xiao has brought thirty guards here. If he really wants to break in and arrest someone, then our Jiang family will be completely hopeless." Seeing that Jiang Shangshu didn't speak for a long time, Uncle Jiang was so anxious that his head was filled with anxiety. Hot sweat.

Jiang Shangshu closed his eyes with a sad look on his face and said, "Today evening, let's send Nu'er to Xiao's house."

Sacrificing a granddaughter can not only save the grandson's life, but also bring temporary peace to the Jiang family, and give the Jiang family time to breathe. It is worth it.

As for the future, let’s plan slowly later.

As long as they plan well, the Jiang family may not be able to be beaten to death by the Xiao family.

"Dad... Nu'er is only thirteen years old, she..."

"Do you think the Xiao family will wait until she is old enough to pick her up?" Jiang Shangshu glanced at Uncle Jiang coldly.

Uncle Jiang's neck shrank. Even though he couldn't bear it, there was nothing he could do. He couldn't really let the Xiao family force the Jiang family to have no way out, right?

As long as Nuer is sent to the Xiao family, the matter will be settled privately. In the future, the Xiao family will not come to trouble the Jiang family. Moreover, since the Xiao family wants to support the fifth prince to rise to power, at least Xiao Guozhang will not do it for the time being. Dare you really do anything to Nuer.

The uncle of the Jiang family waved his hand to a housekeeper behind him, "Send the eldest lady back to her room yet."
