Concerned that walls have ears, Jiang Nianjiao just listened calmly to Cuozhu talking about Lu Zhizhang's actions in the past few days.
She didn't expect that in just a few days, Lu Zhizhang would already have the approval of her aunt and the maids next to her.
However, Lu Zhizhang was accustomed to being hypocritical, so it was very easy to deceive others. Moreover, his aunt already had a filter for him. As for Lingying and the others, they were given by her aunt, so it was not surprising that they had the same opinion. Therefore, she just listened to Lingying's persuasion.
After Lianying showed off Lu Zhizhang's various benefits, Jiang Nianjiao just said calmly, "Let's talk about this later. I'm in prison now, and my home is a mess. Do you think I still have the mind to care about these things?" ?”
Jiang Nianjiao had said this, and Lianying didn't say anything more. She only comforted her in a low voice, "Don't worry, young lady, now that the master is back, he will not let the girl stay in this prison for too long."
Jiang Nianjiao didn't express anything about this, nor did she have any expectations.
If he had gone to the Yushitai that day, he might still be able to look forward to something. After all, his uncle was the Yushitai Shouzheng.
But the governor of the capital was supported by the eldest son of the Chen family, and the Chen family and the Jiang family were now equally powerful in the court.
How can the daughter of her political enemy get any benefit from this?
But when she thought about going to Beijing, she remembered what happened to Wang Tieniu next door.
The son of Mr. Zheng who killed his sister in his mouth was the son of Yin, the governor of Shangjing. Wang Tieniu did deserve to be punished for killing the other party's son, but before Wang Tieniu killed the person, he was indeed the victim. If at that time Judiciary is fair. Mr. Zheng's son and the person who insulted Wang Tieniu's sister behind the scenes have all been dealt with by justice. Wang Tieniu will never go to this step if he has no way to surrender.
From the moment Wang Tieniu's girl was insulted to being thrown into the well, all of this happened in the Zheng family's house. She wouldn't believe it if no one from the Zheng family was involved, and Wang Tieniu had no way to complain. If Mr. Zheng didn't, she wouldn't believe it. She didn't believe it was possible to operate from it.
Considering this aspect, Jiang Nianjiao simply told Lianying what happened to Wang Tieniu next door. She thought that if her father knew about this, he would definitely have something planned.
After exchanging information with Lingying, Lingying only said that she would come to see her again in the future, and then left the prison with her empty food box.
At this time, Lu Zhizhang seemed to have left, but only the prison head was left to send Lingying out of the prison.
Later, after Lianying was released from prison, she went in a different direction to the Jiang Mansion. She tore off her mask in a dark corner, and then revealed a completely unfamiliar face of a heroic woman. Then she rode on a horse and died. It was heading towards the palace.
In the Deloitte Palace, several princes prepared to disperse after finishing their morning lectures.
Zhao Yanzhen had no one following him today except Lao Jiu, but Zhao Nianze was followed by many supporters.
After Zhao Ruian's accident, the original three-legged confrontation became only a competition between Zhao Yanzhen and Zhao Nianze.
Originally, Zhao Yanzhen should have been the one with the upper hand.
However, after he caused many scandals for Jiang Xiang's daughter, the emperor's heart seemed to have shifted towards him, and Queen Min was also punished for these things. The Chen family has too much time to take care of itself, and now the east wind seems to be tilting.
However, Zhao Nianze, who was originally the most inconspicuous and relied on his eldest son status, gradually became more prominent.
Human relationships are weak. In the past, when Zhao Yanzhen was favored, others would naturally follow him, and he was considered to have unlimited glory. However, now this glory has gradually fallen on Zhao Nianze.
Even during this period, when he occasionally asked about political affairs, Emperor Yong was always more accepting of Zhao Nianze's point of view.
But Zhao Yanzhen didn't seem to have this in mind.
After parting ways with others, he prepared to go to Fengchen Palace.
During this period, my grandfather's health was getting worse and worse, and the Chen family's main house also seemed to be on the verge of trouble. He deliberately caused many things to prevent trouble from happening to his mother in the future.
Therefore, he must pay close attention to the movements of Fengchen Palace and the Chen family during this period.
But before he stepped into Fengchen Palace, the woman who was disguised as Lianying and went to visit the prison half-knelt in front of him, dressed in a black outfit.
This woman was the secret guard he sent out to visit Jiang Nianjiao. At the moment, he
He couldn't get away, let alone intervene directly with Jiang and Chen's clones, so he could only let his secret guards see Jiang Nianjiao's current situation in this way.
Therefore, when he saw the other party's appearance, Zhao Yanzhen retracted his steps into Fengchen Palace and only turned around and walked into a corner.
He lowered his eyebrows and looked at the secret guard kneeling at his feet and asked, "How is Jiaojiao doing in that prison?"
The secret guard only reported truthfully, "Miss Jiang is quite at home in that prison."
Hearing the other party's complaint, Zhao Yanzhen's lips unconsciously evoked a smile: He could be in prison like a fish in water, but he didn't know that her ability to adapt was so strong.
"How can you be like a fish in water?" he asked softly.
After careful consideration, the secret guard said softly, "In that prison, Miss Jiang seems to have received extra preferential treatment, and all of this is related to a clerk named Lu Zhizhang."
After hearing the secret guard's report about Lu Zhizhang, Zhao Yanzhen immediately frowned.
Having experienced his previous life, he naturally knew who Lu Zhizhang was.
That was Jiang Nianjiao's husband in that life, but that man was not kind to her, so although he didn't like that Lu Zhizhang was entangled with Jiang Nianjiao.
But she was somewhat confident that Jiang Nianjiao would not have any feelings for Lu Zhizhang.
But hearing that Lu Zhizhang was so opportunistic, he couldn't help but worry that his position with Jiang Nianjiao would be compromised.
"Then what's Jiaojiao's attitude towards him?" Zhao Yanzhen asked.
The female secret guard hesitated and said, "I don't know either. I tried to find out what Miss Jiang said before, but Miss Jiang didn't deny him, she just changed the subject."
Zhao Yanzhen felt a little jealous for no reason when he heard this.
"Then did she mention me?" He said indifferently.
The secret guard became even more embarrassed when she heard this. After a long silence, she said, "No."
Hearing this, Zhao Yanzhen's face turned darker.
He just secretly made a decision in his heart. Tomorrow, he would have to go and see his heartless unmarried daughter-in-law in person. He couldn't let her be taken away by others like this.
Not hearing any news that he wanted to hear, Zhao Yanzhen waved his hand impatiently and said, "Okay, you can go down."
However, the secret guard was still kneeling on the ground.
Zhao Yanzhen had no choice but to ask patiently, "What else do you want to say?"
The secret guard then told Zhao Yanzhen what Jiang Nianjiao asked her to bring to Jiang Fang.
Zhao Yanzhen listened silently to the secret guard's report, and only rubbed the jade ring in his hand.
He couldn't help but feel more appreciative that Jiang Nianjiao was able to find out such information under such circumstances and also tried to fight back.
"Since she asked to investigate, we will investigate in detail. In addition to finding evidence of Zheng Fuyin's cover-up of his son, we also need to find out who his son entertained at the banquet."
The secret guard responded yes, and then asked, "Then shall we tell Mr. Jiang about this?"
"Don't worry, I've found out. I will personally deliver this gift. After all, even a small clerk can know how to attack someone's heart and please the people around her first. It's time for me to learn from this."
After leaving these words, Zhao Yanzhen only went to Fengchen Palace.
In the main hall of Fengchen Palace, Queen Min is seated on the phoenix throne. At the bottom of a row of rose armchairs with red sandalwood cushions and brocade cushions, the eldest wife of the Chen family and Chen Yanrong, the girl from the Chen family, are sitting together talking to Queen Min.
Seeing Zhao Yanzhen coming, Mrs. Chen's wife got up first, and Chen Yanrong followed behind and bowed to Zhao Yanzhen.
Zhao Yanzhen naturally smiled gently and said, "It turns out that my aunt and sister Yanrong are here. I wonder why everyone in the courtyard is so happy today."
He called him this to show that he was no longer in contact with them. Mrs. Chen was naturally happy after hearing this, and she only asked Zhao Yanzhen to praise him again.
Zhao Yanzhen listened silently after being praised. His obedient appearance did not seem to have the slightest rebellious attitude that Queen Min mentioned before.
After finding a suitable opportunity, Zhao Yanzhen asked Mrs. Chen the reason for entering the palace.
When asked about this, Mrs. Chen sighed softly, "Your grandfather's body is getting worse every day, and he is always in a coma. Now even we can't recognize him, but he only remembers the Queen." , and sometimes they always call the Queen by her nickname, just grabbing
He grabbed the servant's sleeve and asked the queen where her mother had gone. "
Speaking of this, Mrs. Chen couldn't help wiping the tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, and even Chen Yanrong looked gloomy.
Queen Min, who was sitting at the top, even had red eyes. After marrying into the palace, she rarely went home to see relatives.
In addition, this marriage was difficult to endure. During the most difficult years for her, her father never helped her. If it weren't for her younger brother and mother who looked down upon her, they would have helped her a lot. She didn't even know if she would be able to see the dawn. @
It is also because of this that her relationship with her father is actually extremely cold.
But now that she really heard that something happened to her father, and heard that he still remembered her, Empress Min felt a little sad.
Zhao Yanzhen just silently observed the expressions of these people
It seems that the grandfather's body has indeed begun to fail, and the Chen family's glory will come to an end.
Mrs. Chen cried for a while, and then she finished the following words: "Mother, I have been waiting in the house these days. Even the doctor who often diagnoses and treats the old man said that he may not last more than a month this time. The old lady doesn’t have any other wishes. If you can come and see the old lady this month, the old lady might also be happy."
After listening to Mrs. Chen's words, Queen Min naturally just nodded, "I will plan a date and ask Your Majesty to tell you the specific date when he arrives."
After hearing this, Mrs. Chen immediately shed her tears again and just nodded.
Then, Chen Yanrong's eyes fell on Zhao Yanzhen, and she said softly, "Madam, the old master definitely wants to see His Highness the Third Highness. How about you return to the house when the time comes and invite His Highness the Third Highness to come with you?"
