After saying this, Lu Zhizhang only held Qi Peipei's hand again.
Qi Peipei did not expect that Lu Zhizhang would accept him so easily.
After all, she had thought that if he didn't want to, she would kill him and make it known to everyone using only their correspondence during this period as evidence.
Although this would also affect her reputation as an unmarried woman.
But if you can get Lu Zhizhang, what does this mean?
Of course, Qi Peipei was still very happy that he could capture Lu Zhizhang without causing such a tragic situation.
Even after Lu Zhizhang changed his attitude, Qi Peipei couldn't help but have a trace of delusion in his heart:
Could it be that Lu Zhizhang actually likes her, Qi Peipei?
When the two of them walked back from the deserted corner, the crowd had already dispersed.
But there were still women in twos and threes watching them not far away.
Under the gaze of these eyes, Qi Peipei felt that she had never been more glorious than now in the past ten years.
Those women who had a crush on Lu Zhizhang were either jealous, sizing up, or envious, which only made her have a winner's mentality.
Then the two of them returned to the private room named Feng. At this time, the banquet had already begun, and people were drinking and drinking.
Someone during the dinner said, "They are back."
Then, the elders of the Lu family and the Qi family, who were having a banquet on their own, turned their attention to the two of them.
Lu Zhizhang didn't say much, but looking at the big and small hands of the two people holding each other, everyone knew it.
One of the Lu family uncles took the initiative to move out two adjacent seats, then waved to Lu Zhizhang, only motioning for Lu Zhizhang to come and sit down. ..
Lu Zhizhang didn't hesitate and just pulled Qi Peipei to sit down.
Qi Peipei, who was in front of others, unconsciously moved closer and closer to Lu Zhizhang.
Lu Zhizhang seemed to know what she was thinking, so he turned to look at her. At this moment, his already passionate peach blossom eyes were even more tender.
Being stared at by such a pair of eyes, Qi Peipei felt as if they were the only two people in the world.
Her infatuation with Lu Zhizhang and her winning attitude only made her feel a little elated.
She had no idea that Lu Zhizhang was not a gentleman at all, and she had no idea what kind of life would be waiting for her in the future.
On the other side, the Wangliufang Jiangfu Ancestral Hall was also brightly lit.
Jiang Nianjiao was seen kneeling upright on the futon in the ancestral hall, with a look of determination on her face.
She made an oath with her hand and said, "My ancestors, I, Jiang Nianjiao, have asked me to be the concubine of the Zhao family. From now on, no matter how high the mountains and rivers are, I, Jiang Nianjiao, will never..."
She had barely finished speaking when Jiang Fang roared, "Shut up!"
Then he just ordered the attendants on the left and right and said angrily, "Drag me out of here quickly! How can we allow her to talk nonsense in the ancestral hall?"
However, as soon as Jiang Fang gave the order, Jiang Nianjiao said coldly, "Let's see who dares!"
Hearing the fight between the two fathers and daughters, the attendants didn't know who to listen to.
After all, one is the head of the Jiang family and is in charge of the Jiang family’s appearance. However, this Miss Jiang is no ordinary boudoir daughter.
Since the death of the former mistress Yu Se, Miss Jiang has been in charge of the Jiang family. In charge of the internal affairs of the Jiang family.
Therefore, at this moment, she had absolutely enough say in the Jiang family.
Jiang Nianjiao's words undoubtedly added fuel to the fire. Seeing that the attendants did not dare to move, Jiang Fang felt more and more that his power and position were being challenged.
He yelled angrily, "What are you still doing? Is it possible that after being under her control for a few days, you no longer know who is your master?"
After listening to the master's order, the attendants only complained secretly.
But they didn't dare to disobey the family master's order, and then they were about to carry Jiang Nianjiao out of the ancestral hall.
Aunt Du, who heard the noise here, rushed over immediately.
She blocked Jiang Nianjiao, then looked at the furious Jiang Fang and said, "Brother, what are you doing? Jiao?"
Even if Jiao is wrong, she is still your daughter, right? "
Jiang Fang seemed to be Aunt Du, and his mood had just eased a moment or two, but his tone was still stiff: "What do you know? Do you know what this girl wants to do?"
Aunt Du was naturally not unaware of this. After all, since she came back from attending the funeral at Prince Jin's Mansion last time, her niece had been obsessed with keeping the festival for Prince Jin.
The father and daughter have been arguing about this matter for several days. Although she never interfered in their affairs, now that she saw that the two of them had reached this point, she could no longer remain ignorant.
Aunt Du said softly, "Even if Jiaojiao does something wrong, you can't be so violent with a girl. Besides, it's understandable that the little girl has feelings for her fiancé, isn't it? Let's do her ideological work slowly. Isn’t that great?”
When she said this, Aunt Du only turned around to persuade her, "Jiaojiao, don't get angry with your father. He is doing it for your own good."
Hearing that Aunt Du was not trying to favor Jiang Nianjiao, Jiang Fang naturally stopped executing his orders forcefully. He looked at Jiang Nianjiao coldly, as if waiting for her to change her mind.
Aunt Du, on the other hand, only thought that Jiang Nianjiao had the nature of a little girl. She only whispered once more, "Jiaojiao, listen to auntie's advice. No matter how much you and His Highness the King of Jin love each other, he is already dead. Dead." People don’t have to worry about what’s behind them, but not those who are alive.”
"The days ahead for Jiaojiao are still so long. Can you really accept living alone in this life? Besides, can you accept that you will have no heirs in the future?"
Jiang Nianjiao naturally knew that Aunt Du was thinking about her life from her own point of view, but Jiang Nianjiao obviously also had her own ideas. "Aunt, I know you are doing it for my own good, but the reason why I chose this path is actually not entirely for Zhao Yanzhen."
After saying this, she only looked at Jiang Fang deeply, "I just don't want to have no way to survive when my house is ransacked and my family is destroyed."
Hearing Jiang Nianjiao's words, Jiang Fang suddenly became very angry, "What nonsense are you talking about, girl?"
Faced with Jiang Fang's accusation, Jiang Nianjiao just faced him head-on.
In the previous life, Jiang Nianjiao actually never understood why her family ended up in such a situation of confiscation and annihilation.
After all, judging from the past, although Jiang Fang had a bad temper, he had never done anything to offend Emperor Yong in front of him.
Therefore, she had always thought that the villain Lu Zhizhang stepped on the Jiang family's back and came to power behind their back when the Jiang family was destroyed.
But even if he wanted to step on it, if Emperor Yong didn't have this intention, he wouldn't be able to get such a big promotion in the future.
Later, when the Yu Se Dongchuang incident happened, she discovered that Yu Se had been using their family's reputation to provide financial support to the Qiang Desert bandits. So during that period, she once thought that the Jiang family would end up like that, and that their family deserved it. .
But it wasn't until recently that she understood that the reasons she thought were actually just tools to convict the Jiang family.
The real underlying reason is probably that Emperor Yong wanted to destroy the Jiang family.
Just like when the Chen family was powerful, Emperor Yong might have hated the Chen family because the Chen family killed his first wife and forced him to take the Chen family's daughter.
But the real reason wrapped up in this is probably the struggle for power.
Looking back on the entire Yong Dynasty, it has always been the foreign relatives who were the most powerful, and the king and the aristocratic family ruled the world together.
Ever since the previous emperor listened to slander in his later years and killed the successor he had trained for decades, the royal family has been in a state of control.
Although he finally realized that he had unjustly killed his successor, the dead could not be resurrected. And he is getting older. He no longer has the ambitions he once had, and he can no longer spare more energy to carefully train the next successor.
Unfortunately, the youngest son was young, so in the end all he could do was to entrust the young son to his most trusted ministers.
Naturally, the Jiang family was among them, but as an emperor and courtiers, especially a young emperor, even though they had no objections at first, they actually posed a threat to the power of the royal family.
What's more, the young emperor died young before he could reach adulthood. Since then, the four ministers have had different ideas.
Wanting to overwhelm the opponent, in the end, the Chen family, which was cunning and had absolute military power, became the final winner in this struggle.
The Jiang family was weaker, and the descendants of the Jiang family were few in number. Therefore, although the Jiang family later became more successful, it did not pose a threat to the Chen family at all.
In addition, the Chen family was busy dealing with the challenges of the other two families at that time, so the Jiang family, which had little sense of existence, naturally became the last one to deal with.
When the young emperor passed away without leaving any heirs, the other two families took the initiative to support the descendants of the princes and kings during Emperor Wu's period as emperors. When they seized this opportunity, they regarded the Chen family as a thorn in their side.
But they failed to defeat the Chen family.
Instead, the Chen family later joined forces with the former Queen Mother to remove the puppet emperor supported by the other two families.
Later, he welcomed back the heir of the deposed prince who was living among the people, and that heir was naturally the current Emperor Yong.
It was also at this time that the Chen family reached its peak due to the power of the dragon, but its peak was often the beginning of its decline.
The master of the Chen family is so powerful that he doesn't know how to restrain himself.
Although this Yong Emperor came back from the support of the people, he was by no means a mediocre person like the son of the princes and kings.
One mountain cannot accommodate two tigers.
Therefore, the one the Chen family wanted to challenge this time was no longer their colleagues but Emperor Yong.
It happened that the old Sima was already old, but the new emperor was still in his prime.
The Jiang family naturally survived again in the gap between the two, and even as a chess piece, the Jiang family's power was not small.
But now that Emperor Yong has destroyed the Chen family, is the Jiang family still valuable as a chess piece? Is it possible that Emperor Yong kept a useless chess piece?
After all, as a mature politician, can he allow others to sleep soundly on the side of his bed?
