Traveling through time as a peasant girl, buying a husband and raising a child

Chapter 225 Various Forms

Jiang Jin took a bite of the chicken leg and found it tasted great. After savoring it carefully, he spoke slowly.

"But regarding today's matter, I'm afraid Seventh Brother isn't just trying to gain sympathy. He has to have a talk with Second Brother during his visit to the palace."

Mu Jiaojiao used a handkerchief to wipe the rice grains from the corner of Jiang Mingxiao's mouth, and then watched Jiang Mingxiao use his chubby little hands to hold the chopsticks in a very professional manner. When she heard this, a deep thought flashed in her eyes.

"Su Youan is the second son of Prime Minister Su Baiqian. Although Su Baiqian is a member of Prince De's faction, this matter probably has nothing to do with Prince De. Could there be some other hidden story?"

"Haha~ Madam, why don't you take a guess?"

Jiang Jin raised the corners of his mouth slightly when he heard this. Looking at Mu Jiaojiao in deep thought, he couldn't help teasing her.

"Could it be that the relationship between Qiu Meng and Prince Ping was facilitated by Prince De?"

Mu Jiaojiao looked at her husband, who appeared gentle on the surface but was actually treacherous inside, and shared her guess.

"This is just one of them."

Jiang Jin looked at his wife, who was so perceptive and had mentioned part of the question at once, and his eyes were full of admiration and tenderness.

"Doesn't that mean well but end badly for Prince De, and end up with a bunch of resentful couples?"

When Mu Jiaojiao heard this answer, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise. So, this Prince Ping was also a narrow-minded person. After this incident, she didn't believe that Prince Ping could still help Prince De Jiang Che without any estrangement?

Mu Jiaojiao felt much happier when she thought of this. She knew that her husband and son had been stranded in Lihua Village and suffered a lot, and it was Prince De who made the greatest contribution!

"Then what is the second one?"

"The second reason is that Cuixianju is actually the property of Prince De!"

Jiang Jin saw that his wife was only concerned with taking care of the child, so he picked up some of Mu Jiaojiao's favorite dishes for her and said:

"Let the kid eat by himself, and let the lady eat more."

After saying that, he glanced at Jiang Mingxiao with dissatisfaction. Now he felt that this guy was more and more annoying.

"Yes, mother, eat quickly, brother can eat by himself!"

When Jiang Mingzhao heard what his father said, he also advised Mu Jiaojiao that his stupid brother was disliked by his parents again!

Jiang Mingxiao, who was struggling with the chicken leg on the side, was still stupidly unaware of it.

Jiang Mingxiao: The chicken legs are delicious.

"So, Prince De is definitely not immune from this incident today!"

Mu Jiaojiao ignored the witty banter between the father and his two sons, and spoke thoughtfully.

"Well, even if he gets away with it, it sows the seeds of doubt."

Jiang Jin naturally answered every question his wife asked.

For today's incident, he arranged for someone to deliberately guide the two to change the location of their secret meeting to Cuixianju. There was no need to do anything else, just arrange for someone to tip off, and the rest of the things would follow naturally.

Next, his second brother will be busy. When he first learned about the death of his elder brother, the crown prince, he said that this revenge must be avenged with blood.

Unlike the joyful atmosphere in Prince Jin's Mansion, in the study of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Su Baiqian smashed a clay inkstone after hearing the servant's report.

"That rebellious son has done something so disgraceful that it would be awful, but he even dares to speak so arrogantly!"

"Does he want to destroy the Su family's century-long reputation in one fell swoop?"

Su Baiqian's usual mysterious expression disappeared. He cursed loudly, his chest heaving with anger.

"Father, since this has already happened, getting angry will not help. What we need to do now is how to preserve our Su family."

Su Changxun, the eldest son of Su Baiqian, whose courtesy name was Mufeng, was one of the top three scholars in the imperial examination in the 18th year of Xuanhe. Now he is the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel. He hurried into the study upon hearing the news.

"Father, today's incident, the private meeting is a minor matter. My outrageous remarks, claiming that Prince De has ascended the throne, are a major one. I'm afraid I won't be able to explain myself to Prince De and His Majesty!"

Su Changxun also had a grim expression on his face, but after all, he had achieved the position of the fourth rank at such a young age, so his scheming and cunning were naturally far beyond the reach of ordinary people.

After hearing what his son said, Su Baiqian slowly calmed down. In the final analysis, he was also angry at his unfilial son when he first heard the news. Otherwise, how could he not understand the current situation.

"As a father, I know this too. But look at your good-for-nothing brother. He's always causing trouble, and now he's embarrassed the whole of Yudu and spouting outrageous words. He's simply lawless!"

But he still couldn't help but scold his annoying son again. After all, Su Youan was his late-born son, and he spoiled him a little bit, which led to the current situation.

"Father, the most urgent thing is to protect me and the Su family. It won't be too late to punish me later. You should know that our emperor is not a tolerant and generous person. The former crown prince is a lesson for us."

Su Changxun was also troubled by his younger brother. He had caused such a commotion over a woman from a side branch. It was so embarrassing that he could hardly handle the responsibility!

After hearing this, Su Baiqian suppressed his anger and calmly thought about how to break the deadlock.

"Father, I feel that now we can only take the initiative and retreat in order to advance. I voluntarily request to relinquish my position as Prime Minister and release me from Yudu for a period of time. I believe that Your Majesty will consider it appropriate and will not pursue it too much due to my sincerity."

Su Changxun knew that although his father was angry with him, he still loved him no matter how much he scolded him. However, for the sake of the overall situation, his father had to suffer a setback this time to temper his arrogance.

"Alright! This should be a lesson for this rebellious son."

Upon hearing this, Su Baiqian nodded in agreement. Although he had proactively requested the position of Prime Minister, saying that he was not up to the task, the current emperor was very concerned about his reputation and naturally did not want to be criticized or be branded as someone who could not tolerate criticism from his subjects, so he would definitely not agree.

But Youan might have to leave Yudu for some time, to teach this kid a lesson, so that he won't think that his father is so powerful that he doesn't even care about the royal princes.

As for Prince De, we can only wait and apologize in person afterwards. I think Prince De's greatest reliance is the Prime Minister's Office, so they won't pursue the matter too harshly.

The same thing happened at the Prime Minister's Mansion as at the Prince of De's Mansion.

"Snapped!"

"Su Youan, what a brainless loser!"

Prince De naturally also got the news and smashed the teacup in his hand.

Bo Liang's face was burning with anger, and there was a chill in his narrow eyes.

"Your Majesty, calm down. This is not the time to be angry. Su Youan's actions may make His Majesty suspect that Your Majesty has other intentions."

The person who spoke was Feng Ziyi, the most trusted aide to Prince De. He was a man of firm determination and many tricks, and he was no ordinary character.

"Your Majesty, the most urgent matter is to go to the palace to meet the emperor and dispel his doubts."

"How can you expect me to calm down?"

"Now that Su Youan has messed things up, my father will definitely be suspicious of me. What else can I do?

My father is suspicious by nature, and I'm afraid that no matter what I do, he will think I have ulterior motives!"

Prince De was also quite annoyed about this. If Su Youan wanted to die, why didn't he just die early instead of implicating him?

Feng Ziyi looked at Prince De, who was at a loss when faced with such a small matter, and sighed in his heart.

Prince De's character, ah...
