The Cute Peasant Wife: Mian Niang - C278 What are you afraid of

What are you afraid of

Spare my life?

With so many things happening in Mian Niang’s family, these people had never been merciful.

Jiang Ting said coldly, “The one who will take your life has never been me, but that Mayer’s disease woman.”

Zheng Tong suddenly raised her head and looked at Jiang Ting in disbelief. After a long while, he shook her head and said: “No, that’s not possible, she is still relying on me to help her, why would she want to kill me.”

He mumbled to himself, unable to believe why his former ally would suddenly want his life now.

Jiang Ting raised his eyebrows slightly. When he was about to turn around and leave, Zheng Tong suddenly realized something. He immediately pulled at the corner of his clothes, but just as he was about to come into contact with him, he retracted his hand: “Mr. Jiang, Mr. Jiang, tell me, is she, Mei Wu, going to unload and kill people, and push everything onto me alone?”

Jiang Ting looked at him indifferently, then turned and walked out of the secret room.

Zheng Tong followed behind him as he stumbled out of the room. However, he didn’t expect the secret room to be sealed once again.

He was unwilling to be locked up here like this. He stretched his body and walked out. The iron chains tied to his feet clanged loudly. The door to the secret room was only a step away, but it was tightly shackled like this.

The eight foot tall man slipped and sat on the ground. The few flames in his eyes gradually died down, and eventually became despair.

The person who wanted to kill him turned out to be Wu Niang.

Zheng Tong trembled from head to toe, he felt that the only path left for him was death.

Jiang Ting sealed the secret room again and stood in the courtyard. The night sky was so dark that one could not see a single star.

However, it did not affect Jiang Ting’s eyesight. His sharp eyes, were still able to see everything that happened during the night clearly.

After rushing towards the palace, the emperor was eating a midnight snack and got someone to bring a bowl and chopsticks to Jiang Ting, telling him to sit down and eat with them.

Jiang Ting only sat on half of a chair and ate the plate of food in front of him.

The emperor smiled faintly as he pushed aside the left and right side of the plate of sour shoots and brought it to the emperor.

“Aren’t you always fond of eating this? Why don’t you eat it?”

Jiang Ting looked at the asparagus in front of him, picked up his chopsticks, placed them into a bowl and ate it with rice.

The young master of the Tutor Jiang family had been taught strictly from a young age, so under the circumstances, he ate elegantly. Even after entering the Shadow Squad for so many years, many things in his bones had not changed.

However, the emperor felt that it was meaningless. “I really miss when I was young. At that time, even though you knew that your subjects were different, you were still a child after all. You wouldn’t be so restrained.”

“At that time, I was young and didn’t know how to act.”

Every time, he would use a similar excuse to draw a clear line between himself and his subjects, “Forget it, you were the most adorable one then. Look at you now, you’re not funny at all. In front of me, you’re like a wooden stake.”

Jiang Ting didn’t say anything again as he quietly ate his meal. There was really no sound at all.

did not take all of this to heart. As expected, the displeasure in the emperor’s eyes quickly disappeared, and he changed the topic to ask what was the purpose of his visit. He heard that the emperor still wanted to go to the Tongzhou, and laughed before he could even finish speaking.

“You and that place are fated to be there. Since last summer, you have been passing by it. How many times have you gone there?”

“Four times.”

“Ha!” I didn’t expect you to still remember. ”

Jiang Ting looked up, but did not say a word.

Turning the topic away, it was Gu Yan who said: “Zhenbei’s house must be filial, and must not enter the imperial court for three years, then I’m afraid Gu Xin’s memorial will have to be handed over. They don’t plan to bury the old Gu Hou in the capital, I’m afraid they will need to bring the coffin back to the village, what do you think about this?”

The corner of Jiang Ting’s mouth twitched, and he did not manage to laugh.

“So what if you don’t know? You should still say it. You and Gu Xin can be considered to have become old acquaintances. Also, tell me, how much do you know about this person?”

How much do you know about Gu Xin?

Jiang Ting did not give a definite answer. His Majesty had asked about this person more than once, so on this matter, he must be thinking about how to punish Gu Xin now.

Whether it was to win him over or to guard him, His Majesty would probably have already made up his mind.

No matter how much one said it, it was all in vain.

The emperor seemed to have predicted that Jiang Ting wouldn’t say anything, he smiled slightly, and his face was filled with understanding.

“If you are not happy, I will try to win him over. I have long since seen through your unpleasantness towards Gu Xin.”

Jiang Ting did not say anything, denying was the crime of deceiving the Sovereign. However, if he was to say that Gu Heng was not bad, he would not be able to say anything.

“Gu Yue isn’t an incompetent person, and there’s a ravine in his heart as well.”

Jiang Ting chose to compromise.

He had already said what he needed to say, and what he needed to say was in vain.

For Gu Xin, whether he wanted to rope him in or prevent him from getting rid of him was not something that he could decide.

As expected, the Emperor nodded and said, “This Gu Gu Gu Yue has the bones of the old Gu Hou when he was young.”

Jiang Ting’s eyelids jumped a little.

When the old Gu Hou was young, even their Emperor had never seen him before.

His Majesty didn’t realize that he had made a mistake. Or rather, even if he did, he didn’t care at all.

After Jiang Ting finished eating, he said to him: “Go handle this peacefully. This asparagus is a jar that was just opened up in the royal kitchen today. We will have them seal up the jar and keep it for you to eat after you are done with your business.”

Jiang Ting was startled, and then asked: “Did His Majesty give this jar of sour bamboo shoots to this humble one?”

He didn’t expect that the king would be interested in something like this. His Majesty was surprised for a moment before quickly regaining his senses. He hurriedly waved his hand and said, “Yes, it’s yours. It’s yours.”

Jiang Ting knelt down and kowtowed, “Thank you, Your Majesty.”

“Hey, hurry up and get up. A jar of pickled vegetables is worth it for you to act like this. Don’t you feel grateful when I flip the case for you?”

Jiang Ting looked at the emperor in disbelief, and asked softly: “You said you want to reverse the case against father?”

He was very careful, as if he was afraid of hearing wrongly.

His Majesty had not seen him with such a lively expression for a long time. He was frightened and only regained his senses after a long while, saying hurriedly, “Of course. Otherwise, why do you think I’ve been planning something and why would I keep you in the Shadow Squad?”

Jiang Ting did not say anything, he obviously knew that he could enter the Dark Guard camp, and that was indeed to help his family solve their case. However, he had never thought that the Emperor would personally say that he had overturned the case.

If the case was reversed now, wouldn’t it mean that the late emperor was wrong? It was very likely that the late emperor would be called unfilial in the future, and this would be taboo for the emperor. After all, it was something that had been left behind since ancient times.

His Majesty couldn’t see what he was thinking and only hated him for doubting him, “I have long said that I and you are playmates who grew up together, and even if we are brothers, we don’t have a close relationship, and the Tutor Jiang is also my enlightened teacher. Back then, he was framed and left behind a name for himself for the rest of his life, so naturally, I will not stand by and do nothing, but you, to hide your thoughts more deeply than anyone else. If I didn’t say this today, I’m afraid that I will never know, in your heart, you actually do not believe me.”

Jiang Ting did not speak again. He knew that he should untie his loyalty and let the emperor know that he had never suspected anything.

However, he could not say those words, and could only silently kneel.

Plus, he had been in trouble since he was young, and after entering the Dark Guard camp, he had always been obsessed with training himself. In fact, he didn’t really know how to communicate with others, and wasn’t like the people in the imperial court.

His Majesty sighed and said helplessly, “Forget it, I will not tell you this. The more I say it, the more uncomfortable I feel. You should leave, it’s getting late.”

Jiang Ting stood up to say his farewells.

His Majesty called for someone to stop before he left, “Be careful.”

Jiang Ting nodded heavily.

He turned around and left.

As the midnight snack was dismissed, the emperor was vexed by the past and the current situation in the imperial court. He was not in a good mood to call upon his concubine, so he decided to sleep alone.

Before he fell asleep, he always felt like he had forgotten something. However, after thinking about it for a while, he still couldn’t remember what it was.

It was only on the morning of the second day that he remembered the jar of sour bamboo shoots that he had promised Jiang Ting. He hurriedly ordered the eunuch beside him to go to the imperial kitchen to pass down the dictum, telling the imperial chef to temporarily seal the jar of sour bamboo shoots.

Since he had promised Jiang Ting, he naturally would not go back on his words.

Thinking back to Jiang Ting’s expression last night, the emperor lightly shook his head.

This young master of the Jiang family wasn’t as rigid as an iron board. If he had known earlier that a jar of asparagus would make his expression change, he would have given him several carts of asparagus. Only then would he truly see his expression.

See if he laughs or cries.

Unexpectedly, after a short while, the young eunuch hurriedly ran back, followed by the head steward of the imperial kitchen and the chef in charge of marinating the asparagus. The three of them started crying and begging for forgiveness while they were still outside the door.

The emperor looked at his eunuch in surprise. The eunuch hurried over and reprimanded the three of them. He told them not to cry anymore and to clarify the matter first.

It is to behead the king to alarm him like this.

The few of them hurriedly crawled over on their knees and wiped the tears off their faces, explaining everything clearly.

It turned out that the jar of asparagus had disappeared.

The faces of the chefs and the stewards turned ashen.

A jar of pickled bamboo shoots was not worth much, and in the imperial kitchen, which was full of delicious dishes, it was not much of a rarity. A jar of sour bamboo shoots was not worth much of money, and it was even less of a rarity in the imperial kitchen, which was full of delicious dishes.

They had originally planned to do the same thing. After catching that thief, they would have him make up the money for the bamboo shoot and give them a beating after that.

However, the bamboo shoot had been sealed by His Majesty the emperor today. They had not had the time to interrogate anyone before they were brought here to plead guilty.
