AWB Chapter 39 Chain Plan
Chapter 39 Chain Plan
Looking at the Third Prince Zhao Zheyong who was so close to him, Jiang Siqi almost burst into tears.
Recalling the difficulty of meeting Zhao Zheyong, Jiang Siqi felt as if he had gone through eighty-one difficulties before finally meeting the third prince Zhao Zheyong.
Jiang Siqi knelt down with a plop and bowed deeply to Zhao Zheyong, "I, Jiang Siqi, greet the Third Prince. May the Third Prince be safe and sound."
"Are you, Jiang Siqi?" Zhao Zheyong had a vague impression of this name, but he couldn't remember where he had heard of this name.
Jiang Siqi smiled happily, looked at the people around him, clasped his fists and bowed to him, "Yes, my sister has always praised Your Highness as a wise and brave man who selects talented people and employs them. She admires you very much. She taught me to come and serve Your Highness."
Only then did Zhao Zheyong remember that Jiang Wanwan had mentioned the name "Jiang Siqi" in bed.
When he saw the smile on Jiang Siqi's face, he felt that Jiang Siqi seemed to know the relationship between him and Jiang Wanwan.
Zhao Zheyong felt a little unhappy, thinking that Jiang Wanwan was really a talkative person who told everything to others.
Jiang Wanwan is not afraid of being accused of being unfaithful to her husband, she is afraid of being accused of being a playboy!
But he really needed someone to assist him, so he stood up, walked to Jiang Siqi, and gently supported Jiang Siqi's arm. "Since you know this, I won't say those empty words to you. I just want to say that if I become rich in the future, I will definitely have a share in your Jiang family."
With this promise, Jiang Siqi would not have any other thoughts. He was determined to assist Zhao Zheyong to ascend the throne wholeheartedly.
Jiang Siqi smiled and nodded, saying politely, "Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness. I will definitely not let Your Highness down."
"Is your sister okay? I saw her name on the visiting card. She also came to Juzhou?" Zhao Zheyong mentioned.
But Jiang Siqi was sweating coldly.
He didn't expect Zhao Zheyong to ask about Jiang Wanwan's whereabouts. He was afraid that Zhao Zheyong would be furious if he knew that Jiang Wanwan was having an affair with Meng Zhichun, and would implicate him and kick him out.
"She has been staying at home, learning some knitting and needlework. Her father loves her very much and will not let her suffer at home." Jiang Siqi especially emphasized the four words "staying at home".
Zhao Zheyong nodded. He just asked casually. He didn't think Jiang Wanwan would choose this time to meet him privately.
After all, Juzhou was a long way from the capital, and Jiang Wanwan had no reason to go north. In addition, Jiang Wanwan had no name or status with him, so why did she appear beside him at this time?
Seeing that Zhao Zheyong had no doubts, Jiang Siqi took his sleeve and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
Jiang Siqi thought, "I finally got away with it. But I must not let Zhao Zheyong know that Jiang Wanwan is in the County Magistrate's Mansion right now!"
"Why was your father deprived of the title of Duke of Zhenguo? How did your mother die?" Zhao Zheyong suddenly spoke.
Those who knew about the princess being insulted in the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion did not dare to say anything.
Although it was Emperor Zhao Changta who concluded that Jiang Rang's wife Bai Shifu had committed suicide to save face because she was caught having an affair with a man by the princess; however, in order to protect the face of the Jiang family and Queen Mother Jiang Xueyi, the Emperor and Queen did not publicize it.
Only a few important officials knew the inside story. It was impossible for a marginal prince like Zhao Zheyong to know it.
Therefore, there were all kinds of rumors circulating in the capital, but Zhao Zheyong was unable to find out anything from them.
Jiang Siqi pondered deeply, thinking, "Maybe Jiang Wanwan had already told Zhao Zheyong about the inside story a long time ago, and Jiang Wanwan must have betrayed the princess in her words. Now Zhao Zheyong is asking me again, probably to test my sincerity, to see if I really surrendered to Zhao Zheyong and openly became an enemy of the queen and the princess."
"It's related to the princess." Jiang Siqi said succinctly, "I wasn't there at the time. I only heard that my mother was forced to death by the princess because she caught her having a secret meeting with someone." "After the princess returned to the palace, she turned right and wrong upside down and pushed all the responsibility onto my family. The princess and I have an irreconcilable feud! There is no way I would side with the crown prince and the queen."
Jiang Siqi's words sounded nice, but everyone knew that Queen Meng Jingshu disliked the Jiang family because of Princess Zhao Ya, and would never accept Jiang Siqi's surrender.
Zhao Zheyong raised his eyebrows slightly. He compared Jiang Wanwan and Jiang Siqi's statements in his mind and felt that their statements were almost the same.
It is highly likely that Princess Zhao Ya has lost her innocence.
"Just follow me from now on." Zhao Zheyong also spoke briefly.
He couldn't think of what to do with Jiang Siqi by his side.
To be fair, Jiang Siqi is a little young. It is not too late to wait another three to five years before sending Jiang Siqi to the court.
However, with the evaluation of Jiang Siqi by the great scholar in Daizhou, Zhao Zheyong was reluctant to let go for the time being, fearing that Jiang Siqi would go to someone else.
Even if the Queen and the Crown Prince's party do not accept Jiang Siqi, there are still the Concubine Xian and the First Prince's party who will recruit Jiang Siqi!
Recently, the eldest prince has been recruiting famous scholars like Zhao Zheyong, in an attempt to weaken Zhao Zheyong's influence among poor but ambitious scholars.
Zhao Zheyong thought, it's just another mouth around him, if he finds Jiang Siqi useless, he can just kick him away. It's better than being an opponent in the future.
Jiang Siqi didn't expect that Zhao Zheyong would employ him without testing his talent at all. His joy was beyond words. "Okay. But I will follow your lead."
But he also had a faint worry in his heart. "If it is really because Jiang Wanwan mentioned my name in front of Zhao Zheyong that I was able to join Zhao Zheyong's army so smoothly now, then one day, if Jiang Wanwan hates him for giving her to Meng Zhi, will she say something bad about him in front of Zhao Zheyong?"
Jiang Siqi clenched his hands and thought, "I still have to find something real to hold against Jiang Wanwan so that she can stay by Zhao Zheyong's side and serve him, but she won't dare to say anything that would affect his future!"

"Young Master Jiang gave the second girl to Meng Zhi as a plaything." Nan Nan gave a simple report to Jiang Yunxi who was watering the flowers, without summarizing the inhuman torture that Jiang Wanwan had suffered.
Jiang Wanwan's hands were tied to the edge of the bed, and she only wore a bellyband and underpants every day to facilitate the men's pleasure.
Jiang Wanwan couldn't move or run away.
Meng Zhi's tricks were very fancy, leaving Jiang Wanwan's body covered with bruises, without a single piece of good flesh left.
But Nan Nan was too shy to say all this, so she omitted it all in her report.
There were no details he wanted to hear, so Jiang Yunxi did not ask further questions. He just smiled mockingly and said, "He is really willing to do so."
"I heard that Meng Zhi wanted money, but Master Jiang had no money." Nan Nan glanced at Jiang Yunxi who was watering the flowers. She felt that Jiang Yunxi's plan was linked together and he had thought of all the situations comprehensively. She couldn't help but admire him. "It was Master Liu who took away all of Master Jiang's money."
