After a long time, Jiang Yuan slowly put down the pearl in his hand and sighed to himself: "How many years have passed, I can't get enough of this pearl."
After that, he glanced with his narrow eyes and asked: "Tell me, why is this?"
Zhu Changhe's body suddenly stiffened and he immediately replied: "I think it must be that my father-in-law loves this pearl very much. This is why he never gets tired of it for several years."
Jiang Yuan nodded in agreement, obviously agreeing with what he said, "Yes, the reason is that simple."
"You also understand the truth. Over the years, you have been entrusted with important tasks by me many times for no more than two reasons."
Jiang Yuan's voice was soft, echoing faintly in the room, "You and Chen Yan, you want to please me even more, that's why he sent the Shadow Man away from the center of power."
"Secondly, if you can please Xiaowan, you have also sworn to me."
"Based on these, I will do my best to help you climb higher."
After saying that, Jiang Yuan suddenly closed his palms, and the pearl in his palm suddenly made a clicking sound. A wisp of spiritual energy brushed across the back of his hand, and the pearl turned into powder and slipped through the gaps between his fingers.
Jiang Yuan opened his hand nonchalantly and let the powder scatter. He stared at Zhu Changhe coldly and said solemnly: "But today, you gave me a big surprise!"
Zhu Changhe suddenly felt a strong pressure covering his whole body. This had nothing to do with his cultivation level, but the natural aura of those who had been in high positions for a long time towards those who were lower down. Zhu Changhe felt a little throbbing in his heart, and this feeling was naturally stronger.
"Father-in-law, listen to my explanation!"
Zhu Changhe said quickly: "My son-in-law had no choice at that time, and there was another hidden story involved!"
Jiang Yuan got down from the desk, walked slowly towards the other party, and raised his hand to cover Zhu Changhe's head.
The next moment, Zhu Changhe's expression became increasingly ferocious, as if he was enduring great pain. His body was trembling uncontrollably, but he clenched his teeth strangely to prevent himself from making a sound.
After a long time, Jiang Yuan removed his hand and said in a cold voice: "No matter what the reason is, Xiaowan has been wronged by you. This is a fact."
"As a father, even if I kill you, it is not an exaggeration."
"But you have to feel lucky that you are still a marshal on the front line!"
After saying that, he felt that it was not enough to relieve his anger, so he waved his hand to create a spiritual energy chain, and threw it directly at Zhu Changhe's face. In an instant, there was a hideous wound on the latter's face that penetrated the entire face.
But Zhu Changhe still endured it without saying a word, as if he was numb.
Seeing this, Jiang Yuan fluttered his sleeves and turned around, walked behind the papers and sat down, "Tell me what kind of hidden secrets you have, and you won't hesitate to let my daughter come back with grievances."
Zhu Changhe kept kneeling on one knee with his back straight. He must not move until the person in front of him spoke.
Perhaps it was Jiang Yuan's quirk. If he responded to his punishment, he would intensify it, as if he could get satisfaction from it.
After following him for many years, Zhu Changhe knew this very well, so even though he was suffering pain that seemed to penetrate into his soul just now, he did not groan in pain.
After briefly sorting out his words, Zhu Changhe told everything he knew in detail, without adding any exaggeration or sugarcoating the part about Jiang Chiwan.
After all, the Lord of Jiang County, even if he is his beloved daughter, will not ignore right and wrong in front of big things.
It was just that the beating he received was in vain.
"What does Chen Yan think? How useful can a small shadow person be? If this one is useless, just change it to another one."
Jiang Yuan frowned slightly, and his words were full of dissatisfaction and complaints. The origin of everything actually came from a tiny shadow person.
"Go and ask Chen Yan what he really thinks. If it's not Su Chen who's responsible, then bring him over to me!"
At the end of his words, Jiang Yuan couldn't help but reveal a hint of murderous intent. It was obvious that he wanted to kill the person who caused the conflict between his daughter and son-in-law!
Zhu Changhe was naturally aware of the current situation. Even his personal relationship with Chen Yan did not allow him to hesitate at all.
"yes!"
He immediately responded, "Then my son-in-law is resigning."
After that, he stood up slowly, moved his joints that were a bit stiff from holding one position for a long time, and then walked out of the room at Jiang Yuan's signal.
Just a moment after Zhu Changhe left, Jiang Chiwan slowly walked out of the dark corner of the room with a cold expression and an extremely cold tone and asked, "Father, why don't you just kill him?"
Jiang Yuan paused and looked at his daughter with surprise. Why didn't he realize that this girl was so murderous before?
"Are you willing to kill me?"
he asked teasingly.
But Jiang Chiwan seemed not to understand the meaning, and the expression on her face did not change at all, as if she was telling an unrelated stranger, "A person who no longer loves me, to me, does it matter?" It’s optional.”
Jiang Yuan narrowed his eyes, aware of the seriousness of this matter, and asked solemnly: "Is it optional? You have been getting along with him for so many years, and you haven't had any feelings at all?"
This time, Jiang Chiwan did not answer immediately, and her cold expression showed signs of melting, "So what, he doesn't love me anymore."
"Just because he said a few words to you in a harsh tone?"
Jiang Yuan felt that it was necessary to popularize for his daughter that being kind, obedient, and giving is love, or in other words, it is not all of love.
And it seems that this is how they got along before.
Jiang Chiwan raised his head, "He has never been like this before, but today is the first time for an insignificant person!"
Jiang Yuan smiled, but did not answer directly. Instead, he changed the subject and said: "When your mother and I first got together, we were just like you, neither noisy nor noisy, and relied on her for everything."
"Is this love? Not really."
"Because I can't confirm her feelings for me, even after you three sisters were born, it will still be the same."
Jiang Yuan gradually entered his memories, and Jiang Chiwan also listened quietly. She didn't have much impression of her mother, and her father was rarely willing to mention it. She only knew that her mother died for her father.
So she was willing to listen.
After a long time, Jiang Yuan sighed with nostalgia and regret, and advised: "I am telling you this just to tell you, don't wait until you lose it to realize how valuable it is."
His wife died trying to save him, and it was only at that moment that she knew her sincerity, and it became a lifelong pain in her heart. That's why Jiang Yuan devoted all his care and love to his three daughters.
Jiang Chiwan nodded thoughtfully, "I understand, then give him another chance!"
"But if he continues to be cruel to me, father will stop trying to persuade me!"
Jiang Yuan nodded and agreed. He couldn't help much with this emotional matter.
…
Time flies, and the willow branches rise above the moon.
Nearly half a day later, Zhu Changhe made a round trip.
Seeing Zhu Changhe appear alone in front of him, Jiang Yuan knew the result, "What did Chen Yan say?"
"Back to my father-in-law, he said that Su Chen would be of great use."
Zhu Changhe responded: "Chen Yan has a plan against Xijun. If it goes well, the Phantom of Xijun will be completely destroyed!"
"And Su Chen is a crucial part of this plan!"
