The Cute Peasant Wife: Mian Niang - C276 sow discord

Gu Xin glared at Gu Wu.

How stupid was this follower of his?

“Continue watching over there. Regarding Jiang Ting, I need to know the answer as soon as possible.”

“Oh, yes. I understand.”

Gu Wu was extremely worried. Be it Jiang Ting or the Taifu Residence, it was extremely difficult for both sides to handle things.

Sigh, if Jiang Ting had a relationship with the Taifu Residence, then he would only need to investigate one family, no need to go through so much trouble.

At this moment, Jiang Ting was in Xiao Zongxian’s study room, reporting his findings.

“That Master Wen had one of his wife’s hairpins with him. Gu Xin saw it and insisted that it was his. That’s why he stopped him. This is what happened in the alley. ”

Xiao Zongxian’s face was gloomy: What kind of hairpin is this?

Jiang Ting took out a wooden hairpin from his sleeve and brought it in front of Xiao Zongxian: “It’s this one. Master Wen said that it belonged to his wife, but Gu Xin kept asking if he was mistaken.”

Xiao Zongxian held the hairpin in his hand. With just a glance, he coldly snorted, “natural son thought it was some kind of golden jade object, but it turned out to be a broken piece of wood.”

It was still the same type that could be seen everywhere. It was likely that the Prince Rong’s Mansion’s firewood was even better than this piece of wood.

“What do you think?”

Jiang Ting thought for a while. “A drunkard’s wish is not only to drink wine. Gu Xin wants to see this hairpin.”

“It’s not a hairpin, what’s it? A person with the surname Wen. A mere rank 9 official who has nothing good on him and no backers behind him. Tell me, what do you think Gu Xin plans to do?”

Jiang Ting shook his head in silence.

“Forget it, let him be. natural son has something to ask you.”

Xiao Zongxian looked at Jiang Ting, and when he thought of what Gu Han had said to him earlier, the blood in his heart couldn’t help but churn. With a “kacha” sound, the wooden hairpin in his hand snapped.

Jiang Ting looked at Xiao Zongxian. This person was used to being willful and willful, he would always talk about it, it was not common for him to be hesitating like this, but his expression was also extremely ugly, and he did not know what exactly happened.

“Mother and son, natural son is being guarded.”

Jiang Ting looked at him silently.

Being stared at like that, Xiao Zongxian gradually felt embarrassed, as though other than this person, there was no one else suitable for him.

This person rarely had joy, anger, sorrow, or sorrow. He had always been a loner, and he would never casually tell others what he knew.

He calmed his mind, coughed a little, and asked: “The two times you went to Tongzhou, did you hear anything?”

“What do you want to ask?”

“About Mei Wu?”

Jiang Ting said straightforwardly: “The last time I went, I didn’t hear anything. This subordinate is only concerned with what you had to say and did not care about anything else. This time, as soon as I arrived at the Gu family’s old mansion, Gu Han immediately got someone to take notice of this subordinate. This subordinate is not allowed to do anything.”

Xiao Zongxian also remembered, “You mentioned this before. However, this old man has lost his mind, as if he had gone mad. He wanted this person to be his son-in-law and marry his third sister to him, hmph, just watch, if natural son finds out that he let down my third sister, natural son will definitely not forgive him. ”

Jiang Ting remained silent.

When the engagement had just been set, Prince Rong’s Mansion had been quarrelling almost every day. Fortunately, both parties had been in a hurry to arrange the marriage, and these quarrels had gradually subsided after the marriage of the three young ladies of Prince Rong’s Mansion.

However, even now, Xiao Zongxian still did not say what exactly happened to him.

Xiao Zongxian seemed to have remembered as well. He looked at Jiang Ting and said, “Go to Tongzhou again and investigate one more thing.”

Xiao Zongxian was anxious to know the truth, so he asked Jiang Ting to move as soon as possible.

Xiao Zongxian lightly tapped the desk with his finger, lowered his eyes and said: “From now on, you just need to follow natural son. You don’t need to worry about matters concerning the Duke.”

Jiang Ting looked at him.

Xiao Zongxian sneered and said: “The last time you followed Gu Han and the others back to the Tongzhou, that’s fine. But Third Sister followed him back, and if you follow him, I can also be at ease. What’s more, he has a plethora of talented people by his side, so he doesn’t need a helper like you. There’s no need for him to get himself into trouble, not to mention the fact that he met a true expert this time around. ”

When he mentioned the King Rong, his expression was cold, and only after he finished speaking did he reveal a trace of a gloating smile.

Jiang Ting lowered his eyes, and thought about who the true expert he was talking about was.

Xiao Zongxian explained himself, “The old fellow is not in a good mood. He sent several groups of assassins over these past few days, and not a single one of them survived. You are one of mine, so you can’t let him have any ideas about you.”

So it was actually this matter that Jiang Ting had long anticipated, so he was not surprised.

The face of the King Rong father and son were displeased, but Xiao Zongxian naturally did not want his subordinates to be randomly assigned by his father, even if it was his father who only had a son.

Xiao Zongxian asked Jiang Ting to move immediately, Jiang Ting came out of his study and returned to his own residence. After packing his things and just as he was about to leave, someone informed him that the King Rong wanted to see him.

Jiang Ting could only go see the King Rong first.

There was no one else in King Rong’s study, it was as if it was specifically waiting for him.

Jiang Ting’s expression was calm, but the veins on his wrist were already taut.

King Rong glanced at him, and asked in a deep voice: “Why did Your Highness and Gu Yue argue again?”

The matter of Xiao Zongxian almost killing his pregnant concubine was definitely more serious than the dispute between him and Gu Yue.

Furthermore, Jiang Ting did not believe that the King Rong really did not know the whole story.

At that time, he was not the only one following Xiao Zongxian.

So, why did the King Rong insist on asking him?

Jiang Ting’s brain worked extremely quickly but his expression was extremely calm, and he told his everything he had seen at that time.

King Rong was deep in thought, no one knew what he was thinking.

Jiang Ting became more careful.

Xiao Zongxian was cunning, but in reality, he was just a small fox who was used to being spoiled.

This was an old cunning fox. Every time Jiang Ting saw him, besides trying to suppress the urge to take revenge in his heart, he would also need to be extremely vigilant.

To prevent himself from exposing any flaws.

The background of this identity naturally did not have any flaws, the assassin named Jiang Ting was really ranked at the top of the assassination list.

“Since that Wen fellow is only a rank 9 sesame seed official, is it really just because of a hairpin that Gu Xin is making things difficult for him?”

The King Rong did not have much of an impression of the man with the surname Wen. He was merely a ninth rank official, and just the entrance to the Prince Rong’s Mansion, officials below fourth rank could not enter, and the threshold was as high as the emperor’s throne room.

Jiang Ting agreed.

“Where’s the hairpin?” He was curious now. What could a mere ninth rank official take out that was worthy of Gu Xin making a big fuss over?

“It has already been broken by the Crown Prince.” Jiang Ting replied truthfully.

“Hmph, that’s all he has left.”

The teacup in his hand was placed heavily on the desk.

From this, it could be seen that King Rong had long been unhappy with this son of his. However, he only had this one son, there was nothing he could do even if he was dissatisfied.

Jiang Ting looked at his nose, looked at his heart, as if everything that happened had nothing to do with him. In reality, in his arms, there was a wooden hairpin stuck tightly to his heart.

“What about that Mayer’s disease? What does he want you to do? ”

Jiang Ting’s brows moved slightly, he raised his eyes and looked at King Rong.

The King Rong was also looking at him.

One’s face was calm, but his heart was in turmoil.

One was experienced and profound, with a pair of eyes that seemed to be able to see through anyone’s heart.

“Your Highness.” Jiang Ting cupped his fists and pleaded for forgiveness, “Back then when Jiang Ting entered the palace, you once said that you would allow Jiang Ting to wholeheartedly follow your master without second thoughts.”

King Rong’s expression became cold, “So, what are you reminding this king?”

Jiang Ting cupped his fists and did not say a word.

King Rong sneered, “Alright, this king understands. You are completely loyal to your son, so of course you have to keep what he says to you a secret.”

“Your highness is wise.”

The King Rong frowned and asked coldly: “Since that’s the case, why did you go with me the last time I asked you to follow Gu Han and the rest?”

“The crown prince is worried about the three ladies.”

“Ha, so you’re saying that it’s because of the Crown Prince’s words?”

Jiang Ting was silent.

“This King understands. If it wasn’t for the Crown Prince’s words, you definitely wouldn’t have gone, right?”

Jiang Ting continued to be silent. King Rong was so angry that he laughed instead: “So, the last time this king asked you to kill a person, your excuse was also because your son did not agree, right?”

“No.” Jiang Ting said: “When we first entered the Palace, you had indeed agreed to this matter.”

“What if the Crown Prince wants you to kill someone?”

Jiang Ting said: “I have never let Jiang Ting kill anyone.”

The King Rong raised one against three: “So you’re saying that if the Crown Prince orders you to kill someone, you will go and carry it out?”

Jiang Ting remained silent. In the eyes of the King Rong, it was tacit agreement.

It had been many years since he, Quan Qing’s, had faced such an aggrieved situation. Even if it was the Gu Senior Marquis from back then, he would not dare to be so blatantly disobedient.

At that moment, he wished that someone could pull Jiang Ting out and kill him.

Jiang Ting also felt his dense killing intent, but he still stood there majestically, looking more and more like a log.

Wasn’t it just a piece of wood?

A piece of wood that could not be changed!

For the sake of that one promise back then, he would really stay in the Palace and allow Xiao Zongxian to dispatch him for three years.

Even more so, he did not know who exactly held the authority to rule this place, because with just a single sentence, he had truly recognized Xiao Zongxian as his master.

King Rong suddenly felt that it was laughable. This was merely a brainless servant who did not know how to adapt. It was not because his son truly had a brilliant method to win the hearts of others.

King Rong’s anger was slowly suppressed.

As he looked at Jiang Ting who was standing in front of the desk, he slowly revealed a smile, and said word by word: “This is a good thing. The prince has finally grown up, and is able to win the hearts of people.

He shouted towards the outside, “Come on, reward Jiang Ting 50 gold coins, reward him with his loyalty to the crown prince.”
