After his inner voice was read, the little cannon fodder became the darling of the world

The housekeeper looked at Jiang Zhengyi's face cautiously.

"In Aunt Xu's yard."

The backyard of the Chiang Mansion.

Several concubines were gathered together to discuss countermeasures.

"What a pity. I was so close to killing him yesterday. I'm afraid I won't have such a good opportunity again in the future."

Aunt Xu, who looked quite pretty and had a smiling face, blew on her fingernails.

"Who said there's no chance?"

The other two concubines pricked up their ears.

"What opportunity? Tell me now, don't keep me in suspense."

"Why are you in such a hurry? They say that this backyard is like a battlefield, there are many ways to kill a person..."

Jiang Zhengyi was standing outside the door. He felt his hair stand on end and his heart sank to the bone when he heard what he heard.

As the assistant minister of the Ministry of Justice for many years, what dirty tricks have I not seen? But those were all things that happened to other people, and they were not painful or itchy.

Now that these methods were used on his own flesh and blood, he deeply experienced what it meant to be terrified.

Although the princess' words were unpleasant to hear, now it seems that every word made sense.

Jiang Zhengyi was stunned for a long time before he walked back in a daze. He stayed in the study for most of the day without making any noise.

It’s time to hold the lamp.

Nangong Jiu brought little Wang and Xiaoxing and came to Jiang Zhengyi's house in stealth.

After walking around the backyard and seeing several of Jiang Zhengyi's concubines, he went to the front yard.

After seeing a man named Jiang Zhengyi drinking alone in the study, he came to a courtyard where people were coming in and out from time to time, and followed him in without saying a word.

A room in the courtyard.

Jiang Zhengyi's son, fifteen-year-old Jiang Shuheng, was lying on the bed covered with wounds.

Her mother, Jiang Zhengyi's legal wife Chen Mingyi, was gently wiping her son's hands and face with a warm handkerchief.

The gentle woman had tear marks on her face and a determined look.

"Shuheng, mother is useless. She can't protect herself, nor can she protect you.

In the afternoon, your grandfather sent a letter saying that he missed us.

Your grandparents are old and have many health problems. When you recover from your injuries, we will go to see them and spend some time with them so that we won’t be an eyesore to others in the house.

Over the years, mother has been trapped in the dream she had woven, thinking that your grandfather and his people were short-sighted and looked down on your father, a poor scholar.

So, in order to save face, I basically cut off all ties with them.

Now, mother finally understands that the reason why your grandmother and others tried their best to prevent this marriage is that mother made a mistake..."

Nangong Jiu took Xiao Wang and Xiao Xing out of the Jiang residence.

"This Mrs. Jiang seems to be a well-educated woman, but like my eldest cousin, she met the wrong person.

From her face, I saw only an expression of grief and despair."

Xiao Xing gloated: "That Jiang Zhengyi must have regretted it, otherwise he wouldn't be drinking alone."

"Regret? It has come to this point, is there any use in regretting?

I remember my mother once said to my aunt and the others that if your heart is cold, you can never warm it up again.”

Little Wang burst out laughing.

"Your Excellency, it feels a little strange for you to say such profound words at such a young age."

Nangong Jiu raised his little head and said, "Stop talking nonsense and go back. We will come to Jiang's house to visit at the end of Chenshi tomorrow."

As he said this, he looked back at the Jiang Mansion under the night sky.

"I came here with a purpose, just to watch the fun, no matter if I like it or not, no matter what injustice I see, I have to endure it and not take action.

You two must remember to remind me.

Otherwise, the ministers would say that I was interfering in their family affairs and would cause trouble for the Emperor."

At the end of the next day.

Nangong Jiu rode Xiao Wang out of the house, leisurely passing through the streets and alleys, and finally stopped at the gate of Jiang's house.

The concierge saw Nangong Jiu and stepped forward to ask, "Little kid, what do you want?"

Nangong Jiu thought for a moment and said, “My name is Liu Jiuer, I’m the child of your master’s colleague, and I’m here as a guest at your house.

When the doorman heard that it was the child of his master's colleague, he hurried in to report.

Soon, Jiang Zhengyi came out in a hurry and was about to salute, but was stopped by Nangong Jiu.

"Uncle Jiang, you're welcome. I'm just visiting your house to have fun."

After that, he leaned forward and whispered, "Master Jiang, please remember that I am not a princess today. I am just the child of one of your colleagues, named Liu Jiuer."

Jiang Zhengyi nodded in agreement.

Nangong Jiu rode Xiao Wang and followed Jiang Zhengyi into the mansion.

Front yard flower hall.

Jiang Zhengyi had just arrived at the front yard with Nangong Jiu, but before they could even enter the flower hall, they were stopped by several women in a coquettish voice.

"Master, why are you carrying a child? Who is she?"

"A colleague's child came to visit us."

Several women took a look at Nangong Jiu, who was dressed in ordinary clothes, and didn't take it seriously.

They rushed forward, and one of them hugged Jiang Zhengyi's arm and said, "Master, are you tired? Let us massage you."

Jiang Zhengyi pulled his arm out irritably.

"No need, just do whatever you need to do."

He ignored them and led Nangong Jiu into the hall. He called the servants to serve tea and snacks: "Mr. Liu, do you have any favorite dishes?"

"It doesn't matter, just be casual."

Jiang Zhengyi called the housekeeper again and arranged a table of food in this way.

At this time, several concubines also recovered from their previous cold treatment and walked into the flower hall with a smile.

They spontaneously walked to Jiang Zhengyi, rubbed his shoulders, massaged his legs, and served him attentively.

The plump Third Aunt beat her legs and complained aggrievedly.

"Master, we went to Qingya Court to visit the young master earlier. We saw that the elder sister was very tired taking care of the young master day and night, so we wanted to share her worries. Unexpectedly, the elder sister did not appreciate it and asked us to get out."

The gentle second aunt echoed: "Yes, my sister is so fierce, like a shrew. She didn't appreciate our kindness and threw things at us. We were kind-hearted..."

Jiang Zhengyi gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, you guys go down, there are guests here."

Seeing this, the charming Concubine Xu hurriedly called two maids and said, "Take this young lady out to play and serve her well."

Nangong Jiu waved his hand to refuse.

"Don't mind me, I'll drink my tea."

Seeing this, the concubines really stopped paying attention to Nangong Jiu and started talking to him one after another.

"Master, Sister Xu copied a landscape painting and said it was 30% like it.

I, your humble servant, am not very knowledgeable and cannot see the merits of this painting. Your Excellency has a great insight into landscape painting. Please go and appreciate it."

"Yes, let's go." As he said that, he was about to pull Jiang Zhengyi away.

With Nangong Jiu watching, Jiang Zhengyi didn't dare to rebuke him openly: "Leave it there for now, and look at it another time."

When one trick failed, the concubines came up with another one.

"Master, it's boring to just sit there and drink tea. Come to my courtyard. I'll make some small dishes myself. We can eat and chat at the same time. It will be relaxing and comfortable."

"Yes, I will play another song for you to cheer you up."

This drama, which he usually enjoyed very much, made Jiang Zhengyi feel very uncomfortable at this moment.

He suppressed his anger and said, "You guys go back to your own courtyard. I'll go see Shuheng..."
