Jiang Nianjiao felt that Zhao Nianze must know more than she did, so after she came out of Yuxiu Palace with Zhao Nianze, she only said to Zhao Nianze, "Cousin, do you know where Yao Ping is being held now? Maybe we can see Yao Ping?" "
However, when he heard this question, even Zhao Nianze looked embarrassed.
"Gillian, Yaoping is not in Dali Temple now. She is only guarded by the Xu family and his son. You also know that the Xu family and I just had a quarrel a few days ago. I am afraid that they may not be willing to buy my face now."
Hearing this, Jiang Nianjiao just remembered what happened some time ago. Moreover, there is a task hanging on his panel that is only 40% progressed.
Although the Xu family doesn't want to see Zhao Nianze, if they go to find it themselves, maybe the Xu family will let them see Yao Ping because they have saved Xu Zhilan.
However, the current opportunity may be the time for him to complete his task, so he thought for a moment and said, "Cousin, how will we know if we don't try?"
"Why didn't I try? After I heard that Yaoping had confessed, I immediately wanted to go to Zongzhengyuan to find Yaoping to ask for details. However, I was stopped by Xu Yong, the eldest brother of the Xu family, before I even entered."
"I have gone to see my father before, but he was very angry and did not agree to let me see Yao Ping. He said he wanted me to avoid suspicion."
When he said this, even Zhao Nianze couldn't help but have a sarcastic smile on his lips.
"But don't worry, no matter what, I won't let anything happen to my mother and concubine."
Jiang Nianjiao didn't expect that Zhao Nianze could actually say such a thing. After all, he had only had a quarrel with his aunt because of Su Zhirou, although in the end they had to give in to get the current situation.
However, Zhao Nianze rarely visited his aunt after that, and her aunt knew that Zhao Nianze was still separated from her.
But even though he was divorced, when his aunt was in trouble, he didn't just ignore her.
From this point of view, although Zhao Nianze and Emperor Yong are clearly father and son, he is not a person like Emperor Yong.
Emperor Yong is hypocritical, ruthless and suspicious, and now he can only be so suspicious of people around him. Don't care about any affection. Can such a person really have a deep love for Zhao Nianze's mother as people say?
Zhao Nianze didn't know what Jiang Nianjiao was feeling, but when he saw Jiang Nianjiao staring at him, he couldn't help but ask, "Why are you looking at me like this? What? You don't believe what I say?"
Jiang Nianjiao immediately shook her head and whispered, "Cousin, have you ever thought about going to Xu Mansion to take Xu Zhilan back?"
Hearing this, Zhao Nianze's face was obviously reluctant.
His original marriage to Xu Zhilan was the result of a compromise with Concubine Yuxian, and the incident between Xu Zhilan and Ye Jintian made him even more dismissive of the woman who was his concubine. If it wasn't for the purpose of uniting with the Xu family, he might not have even looked at this woman.
But this woman caused him and Su Zhirou a lot of trouble after that, and now Zhirou had to fake her death to escape.
He had shown mercy beyond the law without disposing of her, and now she was still being asked to beg to get back together with her. Wasn't this a slap in his face?
But he also knew that if he wanted to see Yao Ping now, his relationship with the Xu family must be repaired.
Besides, Zhirou is no longer in Prince Liang's Mansion. As long as she is careful enough, Xu Zhilan won't cause any trouble.
Therefore, after weighing the pros and cons, he nodded.
However, Jiang Nianjiao was still a little worried, so she just continued, "Then I'll go there with my cousin."
Zhao Nianze still nodded cooperatively, and then the two of them returned to Prince Liang's Mansion first. After Zhao Nianze prepared a bunch of supplements, he headed to Xu Mansion.
When arriving at the Xu Mansion, the doorman of the Xu family became somewhat reluctant after discovering that the visitor was Zhao Nianze. If it weren't for the fact that the other party was a prince, the Xu family might have been able to drive Zhao Nianze out of the Xu Mansion with a broomstick.
When the two of them entered the Xu Mansion, they saw General Xu and Mrs. Xu in the main hall of the Xu family, as well as Xu Yong's wife Xu Pei, who were already waiting in the hall.
Looking at their postures, Jiang Nianjiao didn't know why, but she only thought of the word "invoking troops to prosecute."
However, the principals and ministers were different. Zhao Nianze was able to shut out his father-in-law, but General Xu could
It's not good to shut him out.
Therefore, when he saw Zhao Nianze who came in first, he only said lukewarmly, "I wonder if His Highness is here to visit me, but I have something to explain."
As the person who wanted to apologize, Zhao Nianze could only lower his posture at this time. He only asked the servants around him to put the supplements prepared by Prince Liang's Mansion on the table.
Looking at the pile of supplements, General Xu naturally understood the purpose of Zhao Nianze's visit.
"Your Highness, no matter how much we Zhilan replenish these supplements, it will be useless. You should take them back yourself." Unexpectedly, General Xu would say a negative sentence as soon as he opened his mouth.
Zhao Nianze's face looked a little embarrassed, and Jiang Nianjiao quickly said from the side, "General Xu, my cousin came here this time to see if Princess Liang is feeling better?"
Seeing that it was Jiang Nianjiao who spoke, General Xu's expression was still not good, but Jiang Nianjiao had saved his daughter's life. Even if he didn't want to talk to Zhao Nianze, he still had to buy some of Jiang Nianjiao's face. As expected, General Xu only She calmed down and said, "Miss Lao Jiang, please worry, our Zhilan is now in good health."
After hearing this, Jiang Nianjiao just nodded, "Okay, that's fine. In fact, I accompanied my cousin here this time because I also wanted to take the princess back to the palace. After all, Prince Liang's palace cannot be without a mistress, right?"
Jiang Nianjiao had a smile on her face, and General Xu knew that she was here to be a lobbyist.
He didn't say anything, and only glanced at Zhao Nianze.
Jiang Nianjiao naturally pushed Zhao Nianze quickly, and Zhao Nianze took the initiative and said, "General Xu, please let Lan'er go back to Prince Liang's Mansion with me. I promise that I will take good care of her in the future and will not let her be threatened in any way."
After listening to Zhao Nianze's words, General Xu still resented Zhao Nianze's favor for Su Zhirou, but he also felt that there was a fire in Prince Liang's Mansion, and Su Zhirou who was hiding in Qinghaoyuan was burned to death just before the imperial edict arrived. He heard about it, so now he is not as resolute as before.
Moreover, General Xu was also a very traditional man. Although when he had a dispute with Zhao Nianze, he only kept saying that their family could support Xu Zhilan for the rest of his life. Nor can he leave his daughter in the hands of a ruthless and unjust person.
But now that the trouble was over, his daughter had married into Prince Liang's Mansion anyway. If Prince Liang's Mansion didn't write a letter of divorce, would he really have the heart to let his daughter stay with him for the rest of his life?
Therefore, all he thought about was that if Prince Liang's palace was lowered to a lower level, he would be able to consider his daughter's affairs. Now that Zhao Nianze was really here, and he did seem to be repentant, he naturally followed suit.
However, he still said, "Your Highness said that we ministers don't dare to pray, but this matter is only between you and your husband, so I won't get involved."
After saying this, he said to the servant on the side, "Go and call the eldest lady over."
With General Xu's words, the people in the yard quickly went to find Xu Zhilan.
But they didn't expect that the servant didn't come back after being gone for a long time. They just waited for a long time. After a while, the servant came back with a sad face and said, "The eldest lady said that he doesn't want to see Your Highness."
Hearing this, General Xu's face also darkened. He only said, "She can just ignore this matter if she doesn't want to see her? Now that Prince Liang is here, you have to let her come out and say something no matter what."
After General Xu's words, the servant still looked embarrassed. It was obvious that Xu Zhilan was among them, and he probably gave the servant a lot of trouble.
In the end, Jiang Nianjiao took the initiative and said, "It's normal for the princess to be worried. We don't have to force the princess to come out. It's better to lead me over to meet the princess. I can also convey my cousin's wishes to the princess." , by the way, I would like to ask the princess for her opinion."
There is really no better way at the moment. After all, although Xu Zhilan is well-known, she is also very willful at home, and she has the authority to speak out in the Xu family.
"In this case, I can only trouble Miss Jiang to ask her what she means." General Xu sighed deeply.
Afterwards, Jiang Nianjiao left Zhao Nianze in the courtyard while she went to look for Xu Zhilan.
When they arrived at Xu Zhilan's yard, Xu Zhilan was sitting in the yard reading poetry books. It could be seen that she was now fully recovered. When she saw Jiang Nianjiao coming over, she said without even raising her head, "I'm not all
Did I tell you? I won't go back, just get him as far away as you want! If you keep forcing me, I will die in front of you. "
Unexpectedly, Xu Zhilan's attitude reaction was so strong, and the servants who followed Jiang Nianjiao only felt a little embarrassed.
Finally, after the maid next to Xu Zhilan saw the person clearly, she whispered to Xu Zhilan, who was engrossed in reading a book of poems, "Miss, it's Miss Jiang here."
After hearing this, Xu Zhilan realized that the person coming was Jiang Nianjiao.
However, even after seeing Jiang Nianjiao, her face did not change. She only said sarcastically, "Miss Jiang, why are you here too? What? Are you planning to take me back to Prince Liang's Mansion on behalf of Prince Liang?".
Jiang Nianjiao didn't care about her. Although Xu Zhilan's current situation was largely due to her, she was not much better than her.
He even helped his cousin to persuade her to return to Prince Liang's Mansion just to fill up his points.
Therefore, if we really want to say she is despicable, she is actually more despicable.
"Miss Xu's cousin wants you to return to Prince Liang's Mansion. I am indeed a lobbyist as the girl said."
Seeing Jiang Nianjiao admit her identity, Xu Zhilan's face only became more sarcastic, "Do you think you can persuade me?"
Jiang Nianjiao came closer and sat down next to Xu Zhilan without Xu Zhilan opening her mouth. She laughed softly and said, "My legs are on Miss Xu's body. Naturally, I can't decide where Miss Xu will go."
