"I have indeed done a lot of stupid things in the past, and these stupid things also earned me the punishment I deserve. It's okay for people to make mistakes. The scary thing is not knowing how to rein in the situation and stop losses in time." Jiang Nianjiao couldn't help but think of her past situation. He looked at Xu Zhilan with compassion.
She really hoped that Xu Zhilan would not continue to get into the relationship with Ye Jintian.
But people are like this. When she is stubborn, no matter how much you say, you can only watch her walk into the quagmire step by step.
Everyone understands the truth, but humans are still irrational creatures after all. When they let their emotions go crazy, most of the time they actually watch themselves sink.
Xu Zhilan chuckled, "Miss Jiang, of course you can talk to me so calmly now. After all, you don't even love Prince Liang anymore. Of course you can pretend to be a saint in this matter."
Then she murmured again, "I thought you would be the one who understands me, but now it seems that I have thought too much,"
"Miss Jiang, now that I have told you the truth, will you report me?" Xu Zhilan suddenly asked.
Jiang Nianjiao said nothing.
Xu Zhilan then prepared for the worst, "If you want to report me, go ahead, but this matter involves His Highness Ninth Prince. You should know who is behind His Highness Ninth Prince. If you report me, I will drag them into trouble." "
Jiang Nianjiao naturally knew who they were talking about. She had already foreseen this outcome when she heard the Ninth Prince's name from the jailer's mouth.
After all, although the Ninth Prince Zhao Lang seems to be aloof from worldly affairs, in the previous life he was the murderous knife in the hands of Queen Min, the black glove that eradicated Zhao Yanzhen's political enemies.
If he takes action, there will definitely be traces of Queen Min or Zhao Yanzhen.
And she couldn't tell on any of them.
After all, one of them is her mother-in-law and the other is her husband.
And she did not choose to intervene in this matter for the sake of so-called justice from the beginning.
So I really can't make that choice.
And maybe this is why Xu Zhilan can tell herself the truth without restraint.
Xu Zhilan naturally saw the answer she wanted from Jiang Nianjiao's face. She couldn't help but said with a sarcastic smile, "I thought Miss Jiang could be so righteous and awe-inspiring. As expected, people can only be so calm when the whip is swung above their heads. "
Hearing this, Jiang Nianjiao only said, "I am indeed not a righteous person, and I am not coming to you for the so-called justice. But what I advise you is from my sincerity. I really hope that Miss Xu will not do this kind of thing again. I found out today It's me, so I won't say anything, but if it's someone else, do you think they would be tight-lipped?"
After saying this, Jiang Nianjiao only warned, "I hope Miss Xu can take care of herself."
After the words fell, Jiang Nianjiao stood up and left the Xu Mansion without Xu Zhilan saying goodbye.
Fortunately, the second mission she took only required her to find out the real culprit, but it did not require her to bring the real culprit to justice. Therefore, she wanted to see the progress of completing her mission, so she subconsciously summoned System, but this time the system was silent.
Jiang Nianjiao then remembered that she and the system had fallen out due to differences of opinion.
She thought the system was probably having a bad temper, so she didn't summon the system again.
But although the system remained silent, it honestly switched the system page to show Jiang Nianjiao.
As expected, after the second task she took on confirmed that Xu Zhilan was the murderer, there was a progress bar with a completion rate of 40% under the task panel.
Just because she has only found out the real culprit, but has not yet made peace between the Xu family and Prince Liang's house, this task has not been completely completed.
It seems very difficult for the Xu family and Prince Liang's family to shake hands and make peace without finding out the truth.
But more importantly than this, she could not let Zhao Yanzhen or his mother get involved in this matter, let alone His Highness the Ninth Prince, take action with this murderous knife again.
Therefore, Jiang Nianjiao only thought that after meeting Xu Zhilan, she might have warned Zhao Lang. However, she did not know where Zhao Lang was at the moment, so although she had something to say to Zhao Lang, she could only give up temporarily.
But she didn't expect that Zhao Lang found her first before she went to find Zhao Lang.
When Jiang Nianjiao returned to the Jiang Mansion exhausted, the first person she waited for was not Cui Qiao, but the chief steward of the manor.
"Miss, you are finally back. His Highness Ninth Prince is waiting for you in the hall."
Jiang Nianjiao couldn't help but feel excited when the chief steward said that Zhao Lang was here.
She walked quickly to the reception hall and saw Zhao Lang talking and laughing with her aunt.
I have to admit that this boy is very good at coaxing women of any age group.
Even her own aunt only giggled at this kid's words.
Even her aunt looked at Zhao Lang with a touch of love and affection from an elder to a younger generation.
The two of them didn't know what they were talking about. They were talking passionately when Jiang Nianjiao walked into the room without them noticing. In the end, it was Jiang Nianjiao who said hello to her aunt.
The two of them had just noticed Jiang Nianjiao's arrival.
The aunt stood up with a smile and said proactively, "Gillian, Alang said he came to see you. I won't disturb you anymore. You can chat slowly."
After saying this, my aunt was very consciously preparing to leave, but Zhao Lang smiled and said to Aunt Du before she left, "Aunt, I come to see you next time, and you must teach me then."
Aunt Du just smiled and nodded and left the hall.
Jiang Nianjiao was about to question Zhao Lang about Xu Zhilan. When Aunt Du left, she naturally waved her servants to leave.
She was too lazy to talk to Zhao Lang, so she just said straight to the point, "Why are you looking for me today?"
At this time, Zhao Lang was only leaning on the Taishi chair, with his slender legs crossed. His blue eyes were seductive and said, "Can't I just come to my third sister-in-law if I have nothing to do?"
He was born with a good appearance, and when he smiled, he had a bewitching magic power. Even though some people said that he had nothing more than a mortal appearance, more people were still fascinated by this appearance. After all, who doesn't like beauty.
Only Jiang Nianjiao had the determination to ignore him. She said coldly, "Don't you always go to the Three Treasures Palace for nothing?"
"Sister-in-law, are you blaming me? If so, then I have to come and see my sister-in-law often." Zhao Lang narrowed his eyes and smiled rather rudely.
"Okay, let's talk about something. If you have nothing to say, then I will talk about my business." Jiang Nianjiao only had a businesslike tone.
Zhao Lang naturally realized that Jiang Nianjiao would probably not be fooled by him, so he could only put away his words.
He said softly, "My sister-in-law is looking for me because of Xu Zhilan's affairs, right?"
Jiang Nianjiao nodded upon hearing this, "Have you gone to see Xu Zhilan?"
Zhao Lang just refused to comment.
Jiang Nianjiao thought that since he took the initiative to ask this question, he probably knew why she was looking for him, so she only took the initiative to ask, "Are you the one who gave Xu Zhilan the poison?"
Zhao Lang nodded and said frankly, "Yes."
"Why are you doing this?" Jiang Nianjiao asked.
"There's no reason why. I just did it if I wanted to. Besides, my sister-in-law has been begging me all the time. You also know that I've never been good at rejecting others. And don't you think my sister-in-law is pitiful?"
"Aren't you telling the truth? Aren't you afraid that I will make this public?" Jiang Nianjiao glared at Zhao Lang, who still had a calm tone until now.
Fortunately, Zhao Lang revealed some guilt when he heard that Jiang Nianjiao was going to reveal the truth of the matter. "Sister-in-law, don't you want me to die? If my father knew that I had done such a thing, I would definitely do it in the future." If there is no good fruit to eat, does the third sister-in-law want to watch A Lang die?"
When he said this, Zhao Lang only looked at Jiang Nianjiao with a pair of extremely innocent big eyes without blinking. Unfortunately, Jiang Nianjiao didn't take this trick at all. She only continued to threaten, "If you tell the truth, I will naturally help you." You, but if you tell lies, don’t blame me for helping you or not."...
Zhao Lang naturally realized at this time that he was destined to get no benefit from Jiang Nianjiao.
Therefore, he stopped being glib and said, "Well, since Sister-in-law 3 must know this, I will tell Sister-in-law 3, but Sister-in-law 3 must remember to keep the secret for me after knowing the truth."
Jiang Nianjiao is
To deceive him, I never imagined that this kid would be so easy to deceive, so after receiving his words, Jiang Nianjiao nodded in cooperation.
Then Zhao Lang said, "Actually, my sister-in-law asked me for this matter first. I didn't want to help her do such a stupid thing. Although for the sake of third brother, I am very happy to see the Xu family and Prince Liang's family fall out, but If this kind of thing is not done well, it will capsize in the gutter. So I refused at first."
"But after my mother heard about this, she still asked me to do it. You should also know that my mother is very kind to me, and I can't refuse her."
Jiang Nianjiao was not surprised when she heard this, but she still asked with concern, "Did His Highness the Third Prince participate in this matter?"
Zhao Lang shook his head happily and said, "How could Third Brother do such a thing? He is thousands of miles away. How can he know everything about the capital? Besides, he is not busy clearing away the Qiang Desert." Are there any remnants of this? Even if you have the ability, you may not have the energy."
After listening to Zhao Lang's words, Jiang Nianjiao felt half at ease.
And Zhao Lang then said, "Third sister-in-law, can you let me go this time for the sake of my mother and my third brother?"
Jiang Nianjiao looked at Zhao Lang and said, "It's not impossible to let you go, but if the Queen wants you to target Prince Liang or Prince Liang's side concubine Su Zhirou again, you must tell me your plan."
Hearing Jiang Nianjiao's words, Zhao Lang immediately wailed, "Third sister-in-law, your heart is too dark. If I tell you this, how can I carry out my mission?"
Then he asked gossipingly, "Third sister-in-law, tell me the truth, are you still in love with your elder brother..."
