Getting Rich from Legend of Zhen Huan
Chapter 83 Matchmaking and Drunkness
When Defei heard that Liang Jiugong had taken a lot of things to the Yanx Palace, she did not get angry but laughed instead. She laughed so hard that she couldn't straighten her back, which made Zhuxi confused. Defei just waved her hand and drank tea to calm herself down.
The Fourth Princess is more perceptive than Concubine Yi, but it would be better if she was not so perceptive. It's a pity that Concubine Yi and the Fourth Princess, along with the entire Yanx Palace, were disliked by the Emperor. The Fourth Princess is a smart one.
After removing the obstacle of the Fourth Princess, the only thing left was to bring the Fifth Princess and Jiang Chen together and get Kangxi's approval. The remaining two steps were not easy, especially getting Kangxi's approval, which required the joint efforts of the imperial court and the harem.
So the Fourth Prince was kept by Concubine De when he paid his respects again.
Concubine De discussed, "Jiang Chen seems to attach great importance to Li Guangdi's opinion. Now that Li Guangdi is still in Fujian, why not write a letter to ask him?"
The Fourth Prince disagreed: "Mother, Li Guangdi was able to stay out of the Suo Ming dispute, which shows that he is a smooth person who can't be caught. Jiang Chen has a bright future, and Li Guangdi will not let Jiang Chen marry us."
De Fei frowned, feeling really sad, "Then what do you think we should do?"
The Fourth Prince also felt that this matter was difficult to handle. He turned the Buddhist beads in his hand and proposed an idea, "Li Guangdi, the old fox, is not easy to talk to. It would be better to find a way to fool Jiang Chen, the immature little fox."
Concubine De disagreed, "Even if Jiang Chen agrees, if we break up with Li Guangdi because of this, we will lose more than we gain."
The reason why Concubine De values Jiang Chen is not only his own abilities, but also his connections that can inherit Li Guangdi's in the future. Otherwise, his Jiang family would not even have a supporter, and would not be a good match for Yalichi.
The Fourth Prince was helpless, "Mother, Jiang Chen's future will definitely be brighter than Li Guangdi's. If he is separated from Li Guangdi, maybe the Emperor will like him more."
De Fei asked back: "Then how do you think we can get Jiang Chen to agree?"
The Fourth Prince reminded Concubine De: "Mother, have you seen the news about the Jiang family that the Wuya family has collected?"
Jiang family? Jiang family? Concubine De suddenly had an idea. "Are you talking about the abducted child of the Jiang family? How old was Jiang Chen at that time? He had never been with that sister. Are you sure he would agree to this?"
The Fourth Prince was very confident, "Jiang Chen's family was destroyed. When he talked to his son that day, he was very concerned about the whereabouts of his eldest sister."
Concubine De was worried: "You want to coerce or bribe? But this is not to subdue the Guarjia. If you succeed, he will be your brother-in-law. Will he have to live with Yaliqi in the future? What if he holds a grudge against Yaliqi and treats him badly?"
The Fourth Prince was choked, "Son, I was talking about showing favor, not threatening."
This is a solution, but Defei had a new worry: "What if Jiang Chen wants revenge?"
The Fourth Prince looked calm, "Mother, what kind of person can make the Emperor clean up their mess for them?"
Defei knew Kangxi too well. The people he cared about most in this world, apart from the deceased Grand Empress Dowager, were his biological mother, Empress Xiaokangzhang, who died early. The people of the Tonggiya clan were very arrogant because of their love for him. The Hesheli family was not qualified.
"Who else could it be? Isn't it just that family of sisters and brothers?" Defei thought of the woman who made her very unhappy in the first half of her life, and that unintentional bastard.
The Fourth Prince sensed the low tone of Concubine De, and did not keep her in suspense, "My son has narrowed down the scope and found that it is related to the Hesheli and Tongjia clans. If Jiang Chen knew, and if he really wanted to take revenge, wouldn't it be better? He would not be able to be loyal to the Emperor and the Crown Prince wholeheartedly."
This will be the only opportunity for Jiang Chen to side with them.
De Fei pondered, "What you said makes sense, but we can't just ignore Li Guangdi. We still need to let him know."
The fourth prince said, "Why not do both at the same time?"
Defei nodded, and the mother and son looked at each other and came up with a plan. Soon, the Wuya family sent people to Fujian.
The Fourth Prince gave Jiang Chen an invitation to a banquet soon.
After that conversation with the Fourth Prince, Jiang Chen had a good impression of him. After all, they were drinking buddies, so he gladly accepted the invitation.
This time, Jiang Chen was led into a private room, where he saw only a large table of dishes and the Fourth Prince, with Su Peisheng guarding outside the door.
Jiang Chen knew that there was no good banquet, but since the Fourth Prince dared to organize this Hongmen Banquet, he must have some bargaining chip that Jiang Chen could not refuse, and he really wanted to know what it was.
So he walked in calmly, and the door was closed by Su Peisheng.
Jiang Chen smiled and said to the Fourth Prince, "The Fourth Master didn't say that he only invited Jiang Chen today."
The Fourth Prince was not embarrassed either. He raised his glass and toasted Jiang Chen from a distance, "Wang Xuan is a great talent. Who wouldn't want to take him into his arms when they meet him? Yinzhen can't remain indifferent."
Jiang Chen did not greet the Fourth Prince, but sat opposite him, raised his glass, clinked it with his, and said calmly, "Then Fourth Prince, why don't you tell me the conditions for recruiting a servant?"
The Fourth Prince drank it all in one gulp. Success or failure depended on this one move. "The other day, I heard that Wang Xuan's family had an older sister, but they had been separated for many years."
Jiang Chen wanted to pick up some food, but his hands shook and the chopsticks and food fell onto the table. He smiled bitterly, "Wang Xuan is so rude. The Fourth Master really can see through people's minds."
The Fourth Prince did not want to leave a bad impression on Jiang Chen, so he quickly explained, "It's just that I couldn't bear to see Wang Xuan suffer for so many years, and it just so happens that the people under my command are capable and have found some clues that may be helpful to Wang Xuan."
Jiang Chen stood up in panic and said hopefully, "I wonder if I can tell you something?"
The Fourth Prince was well prepared and handed the box to Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen took it with trembling hands, opened it and saw a few thin sheets of paper recording the events before and after Jiang's father's death.
Jiang Chen read it carefully, word by word, and was back to that night, his father's chest no longer rising and falling, his mother's desperate crying, the doctor's helpless sigh. In fact, Jiang Chen was still a baby at that time, what could he remember? But he could inexplicably imagine that scene, and from then on, the mother and son depended on each other.
In fact, these only contain information about Jiang's father's movements before his death. Jiang Chen put away these pieces of paper and asked the Fourth Prince: "These cannot buy me."
The Fourth Prince certainly knew, but the most important things could not be written on paper. So he said, "There are people backing the human traffickers."
Jiang Chen sarcastically said, "If you are so arrogant, why don't you have any big shots to cover the sky with one hand?"
The Fourth Prince continued, "Wangxuan, do you want to find your sister, or do you want to kill the thief?"
Jiang Chen asked back: "How about you want to find your sister? How about wiping out the roots?"
The Fourth Prince said helplessly: "If you just want to find your relatives, I can still help, but if it's the latter, I can't do anything."
Jiang Chen looked at the Fourth Prince and understood what he meant. No one could stop the princes and grandchildren. He stumbled over to the wine jug and drank it down himself, saying, "Is there still justice in this world?"
The Fourth Prince was silent.
Jiang Chen didn't want to get an answer. He didn't care that the Fourth Prince was there and kept drinking. When there was nothing left in the jug, he went to grab the Fourth Prince's and got drunk.
Finally, Jiang Chen was sent back to the Jiang family by the Fourth Prince in a carriage. Su Peisheng helped Jiang Chen down and helped him to the bed together with the doorman.
