The War God Uncle's Delicate Wife
Chapter 48: The Regent Who Will Not Do It Without Profit
"Do you know why you are punished?" Master Jiang looked at the two brothers in front of him with a serious face and asked in a stern tone.
Hearing this, the two brothers looked at each other with a trace of confusion on their faces. Especially Jiang Bu, who arrived last, was completely confused. Why was he punished for no reason?
After looking at each other, they shook their heads together, indicating that they really didn't know the reason.
Upon seeing this, Master Jiang frowned even more deeply, and his tone became heavier: "You don't know? There is a secret guard next to your sister, and you, as brothers, know nothing about it! How do you act as brothers?"
At this moment, Jiang Bu suddenly thought of the clever little girl he met during the day, and he suddenly realized and said, "Oh, father, you are talking about pomegranates, right?"
As soon as the words fell, Master Jiang and Jiang Xing asked almost at the same time: "Do you know?"
Jiang Bu's heart skipped a beat, and a bad premonition came over him. He realized that he seemed to have accidentally gotten into trouble.
"I just found out about this today. My sister made the arrangements when she met with the Regent at Liwei Tower today to discuss matters!" Jiang Bu scratched his head, a look of confusion on his face, as if he didn't think there was anything suspicious about it.
"You know so much about it? Why did the Regent make such arrangements? Have you ever thought about it carefully?" Jiang Xing was still kneeling on the ground, but his body was slightly turned sideways. He stared at Jiang Bu sharply, with a questioning tone in his voice.
Jiang Bu was stunned at first, then nodded vigorously and said, "Of course it's to protect my sister's safety! The Regent is highly respected, wise and brave, and everything he does is naturally meaningful. Besides, the Regent arranged someone to be by my sister's side, which must be out of good intentions."
At this point, Jiang Bu's eyes were filled with respect and gratitude, as if the Regent was the hero he admired most. He trusted the Regent's arrangement without reservation, even to the point of blind worship.
With a crisp "pa" sound, Master Jiang slapped Jiang Bu's head hard with his palm.
"How foolish! So foolish! Don't you understand that everyone in the world comes for profit and no one gets up early without profit?" Master Jiang stared at Jiang Bu angrily and said, "Is there no one in our Jiang family or Xie family who can protect Li'er's safety? Why do you have to let him arrange the staff? Have you ever thought about the reason?"
After saying that, Master Jiang stretched out his finger and fiercely tapped Jiang Bu's forehead. He really couldn't understand why his third son, who was usually smart and thoughtful in doing business, became so blindly obedient and fanatical when it came to the regent. This really confused him.
And when arranging people to come, shouldn't they inform us in advance and then send them over? Why did they meet with Li'er in private? There must be some ulterior motive! At this moment, the more Master Jiang thought about it, the more he felt that Mu Jiuchen had ulterior motives and was up to something. His sinister intentions were really obvious!
"Moreover, the matter of letting Xing'er and Ci'er go to Jiangnan this time was also planned and arranged by him. What was his purpose? He just wanted to take the opportunity to get close to our Li'er! Hehe~" Taifu Jiang is indeed worthy of being a former top three scorer. Not only is he intelligent and witty, but he also possesses meticulous and clear thinking logic.
"As brothers, you have already set your sights on your sister and you haven't even noticed. Do you think you should be punished?" Master Jiang looked at his two sons kneeling in front of him.
"He indeed deserves punishment. It was all due to my son's negligence. Some time ago, Li'er mentioned to my brother and me some things that happened in the Northern Frontier in his previous life. Originally, I should have gone to discuss this matter with the Regent in person, but I have been busy with the affairs of the Dali Temple recently and have not been able to spare the time. I guess my sister was also very anxious about this matter and had to take the initiative to find the Regent when she had no choice!" Jiang Xing said with a guilty look on his face.
"Alas, Xing'er, Bu'er, your sister was chasing after the third prince a while ago. I thought it was just a temporary infatuation when she was young and ignorant, and I thought she would slowly forget about it when she got older. Fortunately, she said not long ago that she had really let go of this relationship. But who could have expected that she would have something to do with the regent again? Moreover, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the regent obviously has ulterior motives this time. What should I do now?" Tutor Jiang was worried. He really didn't want to see his daughter involved with anyone in the royal family!
The two brothers looked at each other and sighed helplessly. They didn't really take the Third Prince seriously before, but now the Regent is really a trouble! From all the signs today, it seems that the Regent may really have ulterior motives.
If the Regent knew about tonight’s conversation, he would probably cry!
