The War God Uncle's Delicate Wife
Chapter 178 Asking for help
"It should be Jiang Li, the daughter of Master Jiang!" Liu Jiaojiao said casually.
"What? The legitimate daughter of the Grand Tutor!" Aunt Jin jumped up immediately when she heard it.
"How could it be their legitimate daughter? It's over! What should I do?" Aunt Jin was panicking at the moment. She was wondering if their master could help rescue the person. She had thought that the other party might have a high official rank, but she didn't expect it to be so high. The Jiang and Xie families were relatives, both of them were first-rank officials. How could she ask the master for help? Even if she asked, the master would not offend anyone.
Aunt Jin racked her brains but couldn't figure it out. She looked at her daughter and her eyes suddenly lit up. Yes, if it was a royal family member, maybe he could rescue Jin Cheng!
So Aunt Jin looked at Liu Jiaojiao and said anxiously, "Jiaojiao, go and ask the Third Prince to help us intercede with the Jiang family and see if Jin Cheng can be released."
Aunt Jin's words frightened Liu Jiaojiao. She stared at Aunt Jin with wide eyes and stammered, "Mother...what are you talking about? How could the Third Prince go to the Jiang family to beg for help for an unrelated person?"
Aunt Jin frowned and said unhappily, "Why not? Didn't you say that you have a close relationship with the Third Prince? It's just a matter of a word from him. As long as you ask him, he will definitely agree."
Liu Jiaojiao was very conflicted. Although she knew the Third Prince, she was not acquainted with him to the extent that he could help her save people. Besides, there was someone in the Jiang family that the Third Prince hated! Moreover, she felt that it was very shameful to do so, and she did not want to be looked down upon by others because of this matter.
Sometimes she really hated her background. Why was she born a concubine? If she had the same background as Liu Jingyun, could she have dated the Third Prince openly?
Aunt Jin saw that Liu Jiaojiao was hesitant, so she continued to persuade her: "Jiaojiao, now only the Third Prince can save Jincheng, you must help your cousin."
Liu Jiaojiao bit her lip, feeling conflicted. She was actually not worried about Jin Cheng's safety, but her face did not show any reluctance.
"Mother, you have to know that the Third Prince and I are just casual friends. Everyone in the capital knows that the Third Prince hates Jiang Li even more. How could he possibly go to the Jiang family to ask for help?"
"What should I do? I don't even know where your cousin is now!" Aunt Jin started crying again.
"How about telling Daddy the truth about this and see if he has any solution?" Liu Jiaojiao said again.
"Your father won't care about this matter. You go to the Third Prince's mansion tomorrow and try. Mother begs you!" Liu Jiaojiao became angrier and angrier as she listened but there was nothing she could do. She could only nod and agree to give it a try.
The next morning, Liu Jiaojiao dressed elegantly and came to the Third Prince's residence with a nervous mood. She stood at the door and hesitated for a long time, and finally mustered up the courage to knock on the door. After the door opened, a guard came out and asked her what was going on.
Liu Jiaojiao blushed and said softly, "I want to see His Royal Highness the Third Prince."
The guard looked her over, then went in to report. After a while, the guard came back and told her that the Third Prince wanted her in.
Liu Jiaojiao took a deep breath and followed the guards into the Third Prince's residence. Along the way, she was so nervous that her palms were sweating, and she kept praying in her heart that the Third Prince would agree to help them.
The guards brought Liu Jiaojiao to the pavilion in the front yard, where the third prince Mu Yang was standing feeding the fish. Although he had already built a mansion, he had not yet received any orders, so he did not need to go to court.
Liu Jiaojiao stared at the man in the pavilion. No matter from which angle he was observed, he was perfect. She couldn't help but stare at him in a daze, and secretly made up her mind to marry the man in front of her. The third prince seemed to notice the gaze that was always on him, and he slowly raised his head and looked at the person next to him.
"Miss Liu, do you have something important to discuss today?" The Third Prince asked directly, without beating around the bush. After all, his time was limited, and he had an appointment with the son of Minister Jiang's family. If Liu Jiaojiao hadn't arrived earlier, he would have gone out to keep the appointment.
"Greetings, Third Prince." Liu Jiaojiao bowed gracefully, her fair neck faintly visible as she bowed her head. The Third Prince's eyes flickered slightly, the corners of his mouth rose, and he turned around and continued to focus on feeding the fish.
"Get up! Tell me!" said the third prince calmly.
Liu Jiaojiao stood up and looked at the Third Prince. Her lips moved, and she seemed a little hesitant and embarrassed. She didn't know how to start, and her heart was full of contradictions and uneasiness. The Third Prince suddenly stopped feeding the fish, turned his head and looked at her, with a hint of concern in his eyes.
"Why? Is it difficult to speak?" The third prince asked with a smile. His smile was as warm as the sun, making people feel comfortable and at ease. However, this smile made Liu Jiaojiao even more obsessed, and she fell deeply in love with the third prince. The third prince noticed the change in Liu Jiaojiao's expression, and a sense of satisfaction surged in his heart.
"I have a good-for-nothing cousin. A few days ago, I was ridiculed by Miss Jiang, and somehow my cousin found out. To vent his anger for me, my cousin arrested Miss Jiang. However, he was found by the Jiang family on the same day, and my cousin was also taken away. It has been almost half a month, and my cousin is still missing, and I don't know whether he is dead or alive." After Liu Jiaojiao finished speaking, she picked up a handkerchief and gently wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, looking pitiful.
"Why is it the Jiang family again? This Jiang Li is really a troublemaker." When the Third Prince heard that it was related to Jiang Li, his face suddenly turned gloomy and his tone became rude.
"Did your cousin hurt her?" the third prince asked again, with a hint of doubt in his eyes.
"I don't know. I only know that the person was found by the Jiang family in less than an hour. As for whether Miss Jiang was injured or not, I really don't know. But I haven't heard that she was injured!" Liu Jiaojiao said while looking at the third prince.
The third prince was silent for a moment, then asked, "What do you want to do?" His eyes revealed a hint of confusion and expectation.
Liu Jiaojiao was slightly stunned, obviously she didn't expect the Third Prince to ask this. She bit her lip and thought for a while before answering: "I... I don't know what to do. My cousin has been missing for almost half a month." In fact, she knew very well that she was in a passive position, but the current situation made her feel very entangled and helpless.
The Third Prince frowned, seemingly dissatisfied with the answer. He continued, "Then why did you come to see me?" This sentence made Liu Jiaojiao a little overwhelmed. She lowered her head and said softly, "I just think this matter is a little strange, so I want you to help me analyze it."
The Third Prince nodded and said thoughtfully, "It is indeed a bit strange. But since Miss Jiang has been found by the Jiang family and there is no news of her being injured, it means that she should be fine." After saying that, he glanced at Liu Jiaojiao and continued, "As for your cousin, do you want me to go to the Jiang family to ask for him?"
After hearing this, Liu Jiaojiao's heart suddenly tightened. Was she thinking things were too simple?
"If the Third Prince feels embarrassed, then forget it. My cousin really went too far. It's good for him to suffer. Anyway, he will come back sooner or later!" Liu Jiaojiao said this with a guilty conscience.
