"Aunt?"
Lin Jiangnian looked at Jiang Yuxiang, who looked a little 'aggressive', and subconsciously took a step back: "What's wrong?"
At this moment, Jiang Yuxiang stepped under the eaves.
She was wearing a purple skirt, which was elegant and restrained, but it also showed off her graceful figure. The long skirt wrapped around her body, and her slender waist was faintly visible, wrapping her full and firm breasts.
Extremely dazzling.
Jiang Yuxiang has a delicate and pretty face that is elegant and graceful. Her long hair, like a waterfall, is slightly tied up. A phoenix hairpin inserted diagonally does not affect her nobility at all, but instead adds a lot of mature and lazy temperament.
Jiang Yuxiang approached Lin Jiangnian and saw that he looked innocent. She raised her head with a cold expression and glanced in the direction where Jiang Shaoan had left. "What did you say to Shaoan just now?"
Lin Jiangnian blinked and saw his aunt's attitude of accusing him. A hint of worry appeared on his fair and pretty face, and he soon realized something.
"Auntie, did you hear everything?"
"What do you think?"
Jiang Yuxiang glared at him: "He is your cousin?!"
"Why did you even harm him?"
"Aunt, you are wrong. I am not harming him, I am helping him."
Lin Jiangnian shook his head. Although Jiang Shaoan was beaten today, this beating was definitely not in vain.
I hope this beating today will wake him up.
But Jiang Yuxiang obviously didn't think so. When she arrived just now, she happened to hear Lin Jiangnian secretly seducing Jiang Shaoan. She couldn't hear it clearly, but she still heard something: Lin Jiangnian asked Jiang Shaoan to go find the Eighth Prince to do something...
"What's going on?"
Jiang Yuxiang frowned slightly.
"That's a long story..."
This matter is rather complicated to explain. Just as Lin Jiangnian was thinking about how to get around it, he noticed a burning gaze.
Lin Jiangnian looked up, only to see Jiang Yuxiang staring at him: "Are you hiding something from me again?"
"Absolutely not!"
Lin Jiangnian denied it immediately.
"snort!"
Jiang Yuxiang stared at Lin Jiangnian, clearly a little unconvinced.
Although she emphasized many times that no matter what happened, he must tell her, but Lin Jiangnian agreed verbally, but basically did not take it seriously every time.
This made her, the aunt, very unhappy!
"Come with me!"
Seeing Lin Jiangnian hesitating, Jiang Yuxiang snorted coldly and pulled Lin Jiangnian out.
"Auntie, where are you taking me?"
"Stop talking nonsense and follow me!"
"Aunt, please let me go. I can walk by myself..."
"Don't even think about running away!"
"Auntie, men and women shouldn't touch each other, you..."
"Shut up!"
“…”
Jiang Yuxiang pulled Lin Jiangnian back to the courtyard where she lived without saying anything, walked into the room, and closed the door.
She walked to the side and sat down, poured herself a cup of tea, glanced at him, and snorted coldly: "Since it's a long story, then you can talk slowly and explain everything clearly before leaving!"
Lin Jiangnian stood in the room, feeling helpless when he saw his aunt's overbearing behavior.
My aunt really has something against him!
"cough……"
Lin Jiangnian coughed, walked to the table and sat down, and poured himself a cup of tea: "Auntie, what do you want to hear?"
Jiang Yuxiang's beautiful eyes fell on him, staring at him for a moment before asking, "What happened today?"
"You hit Shaoan?"
It was after she heard that Jiang Shaoan was beaten by Lin Jiangnian today that she thought of coming over to find out what happened.
Why would Lin Jiangnian attack Shaoan for no reason?
Lin Jiangnian nodded slightly: "I did beat him up today, but... the wound on his face wasn't caused by me?"
"Who is that?"
"The Eighth Prince."
Hearing the name of the Eighth Prince, Jiang Yuxiang was slightly stunned, and her originally careless eyes suddenly became solemn.
"What's going on?"
"Why would the Eighth Prince hit him?!"
"When did Shaoan offend the Eighth Prince?!"
Jiang Yuxiang's tone was a little nervous. No matter what, Shaoan was still her brother's child. Offending the Eighth Prince was no small matter.
"That's a long story..."
Lin Jiangnian took a sip of tea and then slowly told his aunt what happened today.
However, Lin Jiangnian concealed the fact that he had ordered the Eighth Prince to beat Jiang Shaoan. Even if he didn't say it, after what happened today, the Eighth Prince would definitely dislike Jiang Shaoan even more. Even if he didn't beat him, it's unlikely that he would feel any better.
After Jiang Yuxiang finished listening, a trace of anger appeared on her elegant and delicate face: "This Eighth Prince is so barbaric and domineering?"
"It's clearly his own fault, yet he's taking his anger out on Shaoan?!"
"What can be done?"
Lin Jiangnian shrugged: "After all, he is a prince!"
"Can the prince be so reckless and hit people for no reason?!"
"Is there still law?!"
Jiang Yuxiang glared, thought for a moment, and said angrily: "No, this matter can't be let go like this. I will go to the palace tomorrow and talk to the Queen about this..."
"Calm down, Auntie, calm down first!"
Lin Jiangnian sighed. She had known that her aunt was a person who hated evil and was extremely protective of her own people.
When he first arrived in the capital, he was framed at the Lu family wedding, and it was his aunt who stood up and spoke for him.
No matter what, Jiang Shaoan is still a member of the Jiang family. She was beaten by the Eighth Prince for no reason today, and she naturally couldn't swallow this humiliation.
but……
"Don't bother Her Majesty with this little matter!"
Lin Jiangnian shook his head. He knew the Empress and his aunt had a good relationship. If his aunt told the Empress about what happened today, the Empress would most likely intervene.
But the final result was that the eighth prince had to apologize and be put in solitary confinement.
A light punishment meant nothing to him. Furthermore, if the matter got out of hand, it would be extremely detrimental to Lin Jiangnian's plans!
"What happened today may not be entirely bad!"
"Why?"
Jiang Yuxiang looked up at Lin Jiangnian with a suspicious look on her face.
"Although Jiang Shaoan received a beating today, this might be a good thing for him..."
Lin Jiangnian began to explain and analyze.
After Jiang Yuxiang finished listening to Lin Jiangnian's analysis, she was slightly stunned. It sounded like there was some truth to it.
Jiang Shaoan, this little bastard, usually does nothing and has no knowledge. It seems that it is not a bad thing that he got beaten and fell this time!
If he can really turn over a new leaf, this beating will not be in vain.
"But the Eighth Prince..."
Jiang Yuxiang thought of something again and frowned.
"Don't worry, Auntie. It's not a loss... Didn't I give him a beating today?"
Jiang Yuxiang then remembered that Lin Jiangnian had mentioned before that he had beaten the Eighth Prince today.
When Jiang Yuxiang thought of this, he couldn't sit still anymore. This kid was so bold that he even dared to hit the Eighth Prince?
"By the way, you just said that you were with the eldest princess today?"
Jiang Yuxiang quickly remembered something: "What's going on? Why are you with the eldest princess? Aren't you..."
Her eyes were full of suspicion.
Didn’t this brat say he didn’t like the eldest princess?
Didn’t he keep threatening to break off the engagement with the princess?
How come he was caught boating on Nanhu Lake with the princess today?
Nanhu Lake, boat trip, being caught in the room... these words sound wrong when put together.
"It's not what you think, auntie..."
Lin Jiangnian shook his head: "Besides the eldest princess, there is another person."
"who?"
"Prime Minister Zhao's daughter, the daughter of the Zhao family, Zhao Xi!"
Jiang Yuxiang's beautiful eyes widened slightly, and she said in surprise: "You three..."
Lin Jiangnian: “…”
It was obvious that something was wrong with my aunt's eyes.
Lin Jiangnian sighed: "Aunt, do you think it's possible?"
Jiang Yuxiang was stunned for a moment, then quickly came to her senses... Indeed, it seemed unlikely?
Whether it was Miss Zhao or the eldest princess, both were women of the most distinguished status in the capital. Their looks and temperament were both rare and stunning. It was indeed unlikely that women of such status would be with Lin Jiangnian...
Threesome?
Thinking of this, Jiang Yuxiang's face turned slightly red.
"So, what's going on? Why are you with the two of them today?"
"It's just a chance encounter..."
Under Lin Jiangnian's suspicious gaze, Lin Jiangnian finally changed his words: "It was Miss Zhao who asked me to meet her at Nanhu today. I didn't expect the princess to come along..."
"Miss Zhao, I want to meet you at Nanhu?!"
Jiang Yuxiang stared at Lin Jiangnian, looking him up and down, as if she had caught some gossip. Her beautiful eyes lit up slightly, gradually becoming hot: "What's going on?"
"She asked you to go to South Lake?!"
"Aunt, you misunderstood..."
Lin Jiangnian said, "Miss Zhao, she wanted to express her gratitude for something I did for her..."
"What is it?"
"This is related to the recent death of Chen Feiyang, the guardian of the Secret Heaven Division..."
Lin Jiangnian recounted the Xu family's affairs to his aunt. After listening, his aunt nodded angrily: "This Chen Feiyang really deserves to die!"
Then he felt a little regretful and couldn't help but sigh: "The Xu family can be regarded as a family of loyal heroes, loyal to the court, but I didn't expect to be framed by a traitor..."
But soon, Jiang Yuxiang realized something, "You mean, this Miss Zhao is thanking you for killing Chen Feiyang and avenging the Xu family, so she specially invited you to a banquet to express her gratitude?"
Lin Jiangnian nodded: "You can say that."
"But why did she invite you to a banquet at Nanhu?"
Jiang Yuxiang stared at Lin Jiangnian with a burning gaze, somewhat suspicious: "Besides, why would a single man and a single woman meet you alone?"
Jiang Yuxiang had also been to Nanhu and knew what it was.
Nanhu Lake is a beautiful place, a perfect place for a rendezvous between a scholar and a beautiful woman. Miss Zhao meeting Lin Jiangnian alone there, something seems amiss.
"You and Miss Zhao, aren't you..."
Jiang Yuxiang narrowed her eyes and stared at Lin Jiangnian, questioning him.
She recalled the last time Miss Zhao had sent someone to call Lin Jiangnian to her house, and had let him into her boudoir the first time they met. When Lin Jiangnian returned, he was still stained with Miss Zhao's scent.
Although Lin Jiangnian tried his best to deny it and said that nothing had happened between him and Miss Zhao, it was obvious that Jiang Yuxiang did not quite believe it.
Now, considering the fact that Miss Zhao had made a private appointment with Lin Jiangnian today... an idea quickly emerged in Jiang Yuxiang's mind.
"Absolutely not!"
Lin Jiangnian immediately denied it: "Miss Zhao and I are innocent and have absolutely no shameful relationship!"
"really?"
Jiang Yuxiang narrowed her eyes and stared at him.
Being stared at by his aunt, Lin Jiangnian felt a little guilty.
There is no relationship yet...but the behavior has already happened!
"Aunt, what are you doubting?"
"Of course I suspect your relationship with Miss Zhao!"
Jiang Yuxiang spoke, looked at him, and came to a firm conclusion: "There's something wrong between you and her!"
"Something is wrong."
Lin Jiangnian nodded in agreement. He also realized that every time Zhao Xi saw him, she seemed to be deliberately trying to seduce him.
But every time Lin Jiangnian took the initiative to move closer, she panicked instead.
What is this called?
He flirts a lot, but refuses to get started!
"Do you like her?"
Jiang Yuxiang stared into his eyes and asked.
Lin Jiangnian shook his head in denial: "The only thing in my heart is the kite!"
"Oh!"
Jiang Yuxiang sneered: "You don't need to express your loyalty to your aunt. I won't tell Zhiyuan about it."
"Whether my aunt says it or not, this is my true thought!"
"hehe!"
Jiang Yuxiang obviously didn't believe Lin Jiangnian's lies, and only had the kite in her mind?
So, what about the saint of the Celestial God Religion?
You little bastard, you are talking nonsense!
Although she was furious, Jiang Yuxiang understood Lin Jiangnian's character. If he really had a relationship with Miss Zhao, he would probably not hide it.
If that were the case, it did mean that the two of them didn't have...an unspeakable relationship?
"So, she's interested in you?"
Jiang Yuxiang narrowed his eyes, guessing something.
Zhao Xi likes Jiang Nian?
I don’t know whether this is a good thing or a bad thing!
If Lin Jiangnian could win the heart of Prime Minister Zhao's daughter and gain the support of Prime Minister Zhao, it would be a great benefit to him.
But on the other hand, precisely because Zhao Xi is the daughter of Prime Minister Zhao, if the two of them really have a relationship, can they get the support of Prime Minister Zhao?
Would the dignified Prime Minister Zhao let his daughter marry the prince of a vassal prince?
Jiang Yuxiang was a little worried, anxious about gains and losses.
Lin Jiangnian didn't think that far ahead. He shook his head and said, "This Miss Zhao is no ordinary person. She's very smart, thoughtful, and very calculating..."
"My relationship with her is just temporary!"
"That's better."
Jiang Yuxiang gave him a deep look, hinting at something, but didn't ask any further questions.
Don't just take advantage of relationships, because if you keep taking advantage of them, you'll end up taking advantage of them in bed...
Noticing the strange look in his aunt's eyes, Lin Jiangnian remained calm and said, "It's getting late. If you have nothing else to do, I'll go home first."
Jiang Yuxiang glanced out the window and realized that the night had darkened. She glanced at Lin Jiangnian again and said, "Alright, go ahead. I'll let you go this time!"
"Thank you, Auntie!"
Lin Jiangnian stood up and was about to leave when his aunt called him back.
Lin Jiangnian turned around and saw Jiang Yuxiang sitting at the table. She had a graceful temperament and a delicate face with an indescribable coldness.
She looked at Lin Jiangnian deeply, hesitating for a moment. After a moment, she suddenly said, "No matter what happens in the future, you must not let Zhiyuan down..."
"Otherwise, don't blame me for killing my own relatives for the sake of justice!"
Jiang Yuxiang glared at him threateningly.
But the threat was slight, and it seemed more like an instruction.
Lin Jiangnian was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "Don't worry, auntie!"
"I will never let the kite down."
After receiving Lin Jiangnian's promise, Jiang Yuxiang finally felt relieved. She glanced at him and said unhappily, "Why are you still standing there?"
"Get lost!"
Lin Jiangnian left quickly, left the room and closed the door.
In the room, Jiang Yuxiang was still sitting quietly at the table, staring at the door.
The atmosphere in the room was lonely and quiet, as if covered with a layer of indescribable silence!
After a while, a strange look appeared on Jiang Yuxiang's face, and she sighed softly.
"This brat is really good at flirting with other girls!"
“…”
