Jiang Nianjiao just mentioned it casually, but she didn't expect that Zhao Yanzhen actually knew Lin Jinzhe.

Jiang Nianjiao couldn't help but continue to ask, "Then do you think Lin Jinzhe is really a coward?"

Zhao Yanzhen nodded, "Of course."

"But a cowardly person can become the general manager?" Jiang Nianjiao obviously didn't believe this.

Zhao Yanzhen chuckled lightly, "If there is no chance, it is naturally impossible. Lin Jinzhe is too timid and has no ability. He was bullied for a long time in the palace of Concubine Zhang. Later, Concubine Zhang came out. After the incident, this kid was reassigned to work in Yeting for a period of time. Later, Li Minggao happened to kneel outside Shenghe Hall for a while because he was punished by my father. Afterwards, on the way back, the road was slippery due to rain and he fell down. He was old. I was old and there was no one around, so I lay on the ground for a long time without getting up. In the end, this guy happened to meet Li Minggao on the way back from delivering medicine to your aunt. After that, this guy braved the heavy rain and carried Li Minggao back home. Li Minggao usually Li Minggao has taken great care of these juniors. This kid also helped him when he was in trouble. Li Minggao must not look at him differently. So once this person has a chance, everything is possible. "

Jiang Nianjiao didn't know that there was such a reason for this.

But even though many people have already stamped his name, Lin Jinzhe is timid.

But Jiang Nianjiao obviously had a new interest in the other information provided by Zhao Yanzhen, "You mean he gave medicine to Concubine Xian after he came out of Concubine Zhang's palace?"

For some reason, Jiang Nianjiao suddenly thought of this matter.

"He delivered medicine for a period of time, but he was only responsible for delivering medicine. And Li Minggao took him away later."

Hearing this, Jiang Nianjiao fell into silence.

On the contrary, Zhao Yanzhen seemed to have some reaction.

He suddenly pinched Jiang Nianjiao's face to his side and said, "Gillian? Do you doubt Concubine Xian's death?"

When Jiang Nianjiao heard this, she only glanced at Zhao Yanzhen calmly.

She nodded slightly.

"I have some doubts that my aunt may have died unexpectedly."

After saying this, Jiang Nianjiao only took another serious look at Zhao Yanzhen.

Zhao Yanzhen only said softly, "So you have been investigating this matter?"

Jiang Nianjiao thought about it and realized that she couldn't hide it from him.

After all, he now has so many secret guards around him.

How could I hide it?

Seeing Zhao Yanzhen like this, Jiang Nianjiao nodded slightly and said, "Yes, I have been investigating this matter. I didn't want to doubt my aunt's death, but almost none of the personal maids in front of my aunt did. Good death.”

"Aunt Yaoping died in Zongzheng Temple, and Aunt Coriander was thrown into a well and drowned in Huanyi Bureau. This makes me think that there may be another hidden reason for my aunt's death."

After hearing this, Zhao Yanzhen stopped talking. After a long time, he asked in a low voice, "Do you need my help?"

Jiang Nianjiao looked at the person in front of her, then smiled and said, "You don't need it for now, but when I need you, you can't refuse."

Zhao Yanzhen said softly, "That's natural. But I think that Lin Jinzhe is probably just a cover. Instead of investigating him, you should check more about the people who are still alive around Concubine Xian. After all, compared to him, if the people around Concubine Xian are going to be harmed, Only the virtuous concubine will have more opportunities to take action."

Zhao Yanzhen's words seemed to open a new door for Jiang Nianjiao.

She seemed to be lost in some thoughts. After hesitation, she whispered, "You are right, I will go find other people and ask."

Zhao Yanzhen smiled and said nothing more, but then he only said to Jiang Nianjiao, "By the way, when you were away today, your good sister Chen Hongnian sent someone to send an invitation. She seems to have something to invite you tomorrow." past."

Hearing Zhao Yanzhen's words, Jiang Nianjiao nodded slightly and said, "What's the content? Where is the invitation?"

Upon hearing Jiang Nianjiao's question, Zhao Yanzhen only said, "I don't know about that, but I just put the invitation in the study."

Hearing this, Zhao Yanzhen just rummaged around on the desk, and then he quickly handed a letter into Jiang Nianjiao's hands.

After Jiang Nianjiao saw the invitation, her eyes widened.

I couldn't help but fall into some thinking.

This invitation is obviously not a family banquet, but a private banquet. The place where they made an appointment was not at the Chen Mansion, but at Meihua Village, the Chen Mansion's industrial park.

And they only invited Zhao Yanzhen.

It seems that this is still a very secret banquet. The intention is not stated on it. It only says that Prince Jin and his wife are invited to attend the banquet.

Jiang Nianjiao didn't know what Chen Yannian was thinking at the moment.

"Jiaojiao, what are you thinking about?" Zhao Yanzhen suddenly asked again.

Jiang Nianjiao only handed the invitation to Zhao Yanzhen.

"Do you have time to go to the party tomorrow?"

Zhao Yanzhen chuckled lightly, "Of course I have time. During this time, I can probably stay with Jiaojiao for a long time. Don't bother me when the time comes."

Jiang Nianjiao naturally heard the unusual meaning in Zhao Yanzhen's words. She couldn't help but ask softly, "What does your husband mean by this?"

Zhao Yanzhen only chuckled, "Last time I made a big fuss in Cheng Taiwei's mansion, have you forgotten about this?"

Jiang Nianjiao didn't forget it. She asked in a low voice, "So what punishment did they give you?"

Zhao Yanzhen smiled and hugged Jiang Nianjiao and said, "They gave me a long vacation. I probably won't have to go to court during this period."

Hearing this, Jiang Nianjiao couldn't help but feel a little guilty, "It's all my fault. If it weren't for me, you probably wouldn't have encountered this kind of thing, right?"

Jiang Nianjiao only whispered.

Zhao Yanzhen smiled and said, "What's the point? I originally wanted to take a long vacation and let Jiaojiao accompany me?"

There are no plum blossoms in the Plum Blossom Manor. It is already March, and this manor built on the outskirts of Beijing is only full of magnolias.

Large flower buds are dotted on the branches, like white birds standing on the branches.

There were even fewer carriages parked in front of the Plum Blossom Village.

It seems that this plum blossom village is not so much a banquet as it is just a private gathering of friends.

The two brothers, Chen Changnian and Chen Jinghuai, had been waiting for a long time.

When Chen Yannian saw Jiang Nianjiao coming, he naturally walked down the steps to greet her.

Jiang Nianjiao smiled and asked Chen Changnian, "Why do you want to invite me and Prince Jin to a party?"

Chen Yannian curled his lips and said, "It's not that I want to get together with King Jin, it's that my brother is preparing to return to Guanyuan Town, so before that, he wants to invite relatives and friends to have a farewell party."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Nianjiao just realized, "No wonder, why did you even invite my husband?"

On the other side, Chen Jinghuai only whispered, "Princess, I'm sorry, I didn't explain clearly in the letter."

Jiang Nianjiao smiled and said, "What's the matter? But Lieutenant Chen, I'm not telling you that Guanyuan Town is guarded by your eldest brother and second brother? Why don't you stay for a while and go to Guanyuan Town the same way?"

When Chen Jinghuai heard this, he just shook his head, "It's not necessary. My eldest brother has already written to you many times."

Seeing Chen Jinghuai say this, Jiang Nianjiao naturally stopped talking.

Because there were many unmarried women at the banquet, today's banquet was only divided between men and women.

As soon as Song Chuchu saw Jiang Nianjiao at the banquet, she came over to propose a toast. Although she was still very disliked by Chen Changnian, she was quite thick-skinned. Therefore, no matter how Chen Yannian tried to sneer at her, she just continued to talk to Jiang Nianjiao.

At the male guests' table on the other side, after a round of drinks, Chen Jinghuai took Zhao Yanzhen to a forest because he had something to say to him.

After making sure that there was no one around the forest, Chen Jinghuai said to Zhao Yanzhen, I will promise you whatever you asked me to do in the past. I have never refused any of your requests. "

"Now I'm not expecting you to give me any hope. I just hope that for the sake of our cousins ​​and the fact that we have cooperated for so many years, can you leave this person to me?" "

When he said this, Chen Jinghuai almost knelt down in front of Zhao Yanzhen.

Fortunately, Zhao Yanzhen had quick eyesight and quick hands, and he immediately stopped Chen Jinghuai's movement.

To be honest, he had never seen his cousin ask for anything from him in such a serious manner.

"Cousin, what are you doing like this? I have never refused you anything you want, just tell me who you want, as long as I can give it to you

, I will naturally give it to you. "

After hearing Zhao Yanzhen's words, Chen Jinghuai whispered, "I want someone by your side."

"People around me?" For some reason, Zhao Yanzhen immediately thought of Jiang Nianjiao beside him.

Therefore, his face darkened and he said, "The person you are talking about is a woman?"

Chen Jinghuai nodded and said, "Yes, Your Highness, since you don't love her either, why do you have to be with her."

"If you are willing to hand her over to me, I will definitely take good care of her by my side. I will never let her suffer any injustice."

"Absurd! Who said I don't like her?" Zhao Yanzhen thought that Chen Jinghuai was talking about Jiang Nianjiao, and he said angrily.

If it weren't for the fact that it was his cousin who wanted a girl from him, Zhao Yanzhen would have almost punched his cousin directly.

He barely suppressed the anger in his heart, and then said to Chen Jinghuai, "Cousin, anyone you mentioned can do it, but she can't do it! Why don't I trade other beauties for my cousin?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Jinghuai became anxious, "Cousin, you have so many good things, why don't you give her to me?"

"I love her!" Zhao Yanzhen said without hesitation.

Hearing this, Chen Jinghuai seemed to have heard some absurd joke.

"Do you love her? If you really love her, will you ignore her? Will you let her fend for herself? Do you know that she is pregnant with your child?" @

Hearing this, Zhao Yanzhen's face was full of surprise. Is Gillian pregnant? He really didn't know about this, after all, Gillian's behavior had always been extremely normal.

And she has never told herself about this.

But then he showed a hint of joy and said, "You said she is pregnant with my child?"

Chen Jinghuai nodded with a heavy heart.
