Rebirth of the group's pet poisonous concubine, the violent and cold king is too tempting

If she follows what Jiang Shuyu said, she can make plans as early as possible. The sooner she finds his sister, the less suffering she will suffer.

After thinking this through, Wen Zhiqing immediately bowed to Jiang Zhongming and said, "General, I wonder if the promise you made to me still holds true?"

Jiang Zhongming looked at Wen Zhiqing's serious expression and was puzzled. However, he would not go back on his word, so he looked at Wen Zhiqing and said:

"Of course I agree. But didn't Mr. Wen say that his family members are now separated and he wants to search everywhere? Now he's so anxious, I wonder if there's any news about her that Mr. Wen needs to deal with urgently?"

Wen Zhiqing shook his head, his face dimming. It had been a year since they separated. He was fortunate to be rescued by General Jiang and followed him, but he didn't know where his sister was now.

Even if there is a slight chance, he will not give up. Wen Zhiqing narrowed his eyes slightly, and then looked at Jiang Zhongming and told him the truth.

"Neither. Now that the imperial examination is approaching, I hope to calm down for a while and strive to get the first place. If I am lucky enough to catch the emperor's eye, it will be twice the result with half the effort! It will also be of great benefit to me in finding my sister."

Jiang Zhongming's eyes turned slightly. He knew Wen Zhiqing's talents very well. If he allowed him to continue taking the exam and provided him with help, he would naturally remember the Jiang family's kindness in the future and would seek benefits for someone in the Jiang family when necessary.

"Mr. Wen wants to continue his studies and pursue his academic achievements. That's a good thing! If you need anything, please feel free to ask."

"Thank you for your kindness, General. I am deeply grateful!"

The two of them couldn't help but discuss it again, and it was not until Jiang Shuyu and the others came back that Wen Zhiqing got up and left.

At this moment, Jiang Yanxu's eyes were full of determination, and he was full of confidence in this matter. When they returned to the general's mansion, Ruan had already prepared dinner. Seeing how exhausted they looked, she immediately looked at Jiang Zhongming with annoyance and blamed him, "Yanxu is a boy, it's fine if you took him with you, but why did you bring Yu'er with you as well, and dress her up like this? You are so thoughtful!"

Jiang Shuyu looked at herself dressed in men's clothes, and she couldn't help but feel a little uneasy. Then she secretly raised her head and saw that Jiang Yanxu had already hidden behind her. She couldn't help but twitch her lips slightly, and could only helplessly watch Ruan change the subject.

"Mom, isn't this convenient for me? I've been running all afternoon and now I can eat a whole cow. What delicious food have they prepared? I can smell the fragrance from far away!"

Ruan saw that Jiang Shuyu looked tired and didn't seem to be faking it. She immediately took Jiang Shuyu to the table and watched her introduce them one by one.

Jiang Yanxu saw that Ruan had forgotten the scolding just now, and couldn't help but secretly give Jiang Shuyu a thumbs up.

Sure enough, it still has to be a little cotton-padded jacket! Feeling his stomach rumbling, Jiang Yanxu immediately strode inside.

Compared to the laughter and joy in the General's Mansion, the palace of Concubine Yuan seemed much quieter.

Seeing Concubine Yuan's gloomy face, the palace maids below stood aside cautiously, not daring to make a sound.

The table was filled with delicacies from land and sea, which made people's appetite increase greatly just by looking at them. However, Concubine Yuan was not in the mood to taste them. Seeing Xiao Jinrui's gloomy face, Concubine Yuan was also very depressed.

"Now that things have come to this, there's no point in saying anything more. The most urgent thing now is to restore your image in front of your father. Don't let others lead you by the nose!"

Listening to Concubine Yuan's words, Xiao Jinrui's eyes flashed with impatience, and then he looked at Concubine Yuan and said, "I know all this, but I'm afraid my father won't listen to my explanation right now. Otherwise, my father wouldn't have given Jiang Wanrong to me as his wife."

Although Jiang Wanrong was outstanding in both appearance and talent, and was suitable for being a concubine, now that she had become the principal wife, the loss to him was naturally immeasurable.

But the emperor personally issued an edict, repeatedly emphasizing that Jiang Wanrong's position as the principal wife was irreplaceable. How could he bear this!

Concubine Yuan naturally knew how aggrieved he was, but now that it had come to this point, it could not be changed no matter what. Suppressing her displeasure, Concubine Yuan could not help but look at Xiao Jinrui and comfort him.

"Granting Jiang Wanrong as your principal wife is not without its benefits. At least this will let the other princes see that you have no intention of competing with them for that position. After all, who would fall in love with a concubine's daughter and marry her as their principal wife?"

Xiao Jinrui narrowed his eyes slightly, then looked at Concubine Yuan and said unwillingly: "That being said, the one who is being granted marriage is Jiang Wanrong. How can I make Jiang Zhongming pay attention to her?"

You know, what he wanted was never a princess, but the troops in Jiang Zhongming's hands. He never thought that it would be all in vain.

"What's the difficulty? Jiang Shuyu hasn't been betrothed yet. As Jiang Wanrong's elder sister, there will be plenty of opportunities for her to go to the palace for a reunion in the future. As long as she enters the gate of Prince Rui's Palace, then you have the final say, right?" A trace of calculation flashed in Concubine Yuan's eyes, and then she looked at Xiao Jinrui meaningfully and said.

Xiao Jinrui paused, then looked at Concubine Yuan and said worriedly, "But now Xiao Jingchuan has openly proposed to marry Jiang Shuyu. If I interfere again, I'm afraid I'll provoke Xiao Jingchuan's revenge. It's really not worth it to provoke that lunatic Xiao Jingchuan for a woman!"

"What are you afraid of him doing? After all, he asked to marry Jiang Shuyu today, but His Majesty didn't agree. A daughter of one family attracts hundreds of requests, so naturally whoever gets her gets it! Don't you want to see Xiao Jingchuan's furious look?"

When Xiao Jingchuan was mentioned, Concubine Yuan became angry. Empress Xie had stood in her way before, and now Xiao Jingchuan was blocking her son's way. The two of them were fighting to the death! Now that Empress Xie had passed away, she naturally would not let her son become a stumbling block for Prince Rui.

Knowing that Concubine Yuan held a grudge against Empress Xie, Xiao Jinrui could not help but look at Concubine Yuan and said, "Mother, Xiao Jingchuan is no longer the brat he once was, allowing us to bully him. We don't know his strength yet, so we must not act rashly. Otherwise, I'm afraid he will turn the tables on us, and then we won't be able to explain ourselves in front of our father."

After listening to Xiao Jinrui's words, Concubine Yuan couldn't help but fall silent. After all, Emperor Shunqing had not given up investigating Empress Xie's death. If he found out something, it would be more trouble than gain. But seeing Xiao Jingchuan acting arrogantly in front of her, she couldn't swallow this anger. It was really annoying.
