Marry the villain and the whole court kneels down and calls her the queen

The Zhou family started planning this more than 20 years ago.

Where was Zhao Zhuoxi more than 20 years ago?

Just weaned.

How could Zhao Zhuoxi defeat the cunning and treacherous Zhou Xiang?

Are you angry?

Jiang Jiu looked at Zhao Zhuoxi who was panting with anger and there was nothing he could do.

"Alright, don't be angry anymore. He's old, and you're still young. You can outlast him even if you have to. You should think about how to explain Master Huiyuan's death to Prince Ling."

Zhao Zhuoxi sat back on the chaise longue.

"I really want to chop this cunning villain to death with a knife."

"Sixth brother, don't worry. Prime Minister Zhou has a complex network of connections in the court and the capital. I'm afraid it will be difficult to shake him in the short term."

Jiang Jiu thought for a moment and said, "It's not that difficult. We just need to find the weakness of Prime Minister Zhou. I just don't know what it is..."

It is indeed difficult to judge. For him, his daughter can be sacrificed, his son can be sacrificed, and everyone around him can be sacrificed.

Besides, he has no shortage of money or power.

What exactly is his weakness?

Lu Ming said he would send assassins to kill him.

However, Zhou Xiang was surrounded by many experts. To deal with a man who feared death like him, Zhao Zhuoxi did not want the assassins he had trained with great effort to die in vain.

Chu Yu said that he was poisoned.

However, Prime Minister Zhou's diet was comparable to that of the imperial palace, and he had two rounds of food tasters around him. I'm afraid that if he wasn't poisoned to death, the food tasters would be.

Xiao Yimo was also at a loss.

But just when a group of people were in trouble.

The guard came to report that Prime Minister Zhou had actually come to the Ninth Prince's residence.

Jiang Jiu and others were stunned, and Xiao Yimo immediately jumped up from his chair.

"What is he doing here? He's not coming here to call me to task, is he?"

Chu Yu rolled her eyes at him speechlessly: "Except for us, no one knows how he died. We all thought he died of old age and passed away."

Originally, before Monk Huiyuan selected the next National Master, he was not far from death. Usually, one can only sense the existence of the next National Master when the previous one is about to die.

Now, Monk Huiyuan has replaced the real national master. He may not die when he is supposed to, but man proposes, God disposes, and he still died.

Therefore, no one cared to find out the real cause of his death.

Jiang Jiu and others act in secret, but they cannot be without any unexpected circumstances.

Zhou Xiang's arrival made everyone full of doubts.

"Your humble servant greets the prince. May the prince live a thousand years." Zhou was very polite to Zhao Zhuoxi.

Zhao Zhuoxi uttered a gloomy "hmm" and ordered the maid: "Bring tea to the Prime Minister."

But Prime Minister Zhou quickly refused: "Your Highness, I am here today to take my granddaughter home on behalf of Lord Chang."

Zhao Zhuoxi frowned slightly. "Granddaughter? How could your granddaughter exist in my palace?"

Although this is the question, everyone knows that Jiang Jiu is Zhou Xiang's granddaughter, not his granddaughter-in-law, but his biological granddaughter.

Back then, Monk Huiyuan fell in love with worldly things and gave birth to Jiang Jiu with Jiang Qiuyue.

Huiyuan didn't admit anything, but he acknowledged the incident very quickly.

But Huiyuan was pretending to be Chang Mingyuan's second brother, so according to the relationship, Jiang Jiu was nominally Chang Mingyuan's niece. However, yesterday Chang Mingyuan suddenly fell ill and could not get out of bed.

So today Zhou Xiang came to pick up Jiang Jiu and bring him to the Chang family.

Jiang Jiu's heart moved. He had just said that he wanted to find something to hold against Zhou Xiang. Now, if he could enter the Chang family and spend more time with the Zhou family, he would naturally be able to find something.

However, everyone was unwilling to let Jiang Jiu enter the Chang family alone and was worried about her.

Zhao Zhuoxi was the first to object: "Master Zhou, she sold herself to my palace when she was in Sucheng. Now Master Zhou wants to take her away, so he can take her away. You must give me an explanation."

Prime Minister Zhou pondered for a moment. "What explanation does Your Majesty want? Are you afraid that I may get involved in her business?"

Unexpectedly, before Zhao Zhuoxi could speak, Zhou Xiang started talking to himself.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. No one can take away their business."

Zhao Zhuoxi looked at him indifferently, his eyes filled with murderous intent.

"Even so, we need to ask her if she agrees."

Jiang Jiu agreed immediately without even thinking about it.

"It is the human wish to return to one's roots. Although my mother passed away early, it is fate that I can find my relatives. I am willing to follow Master Zhou..."

Zhao Zhuoxi looked at Jiang Jiu worriedly, but Jiang Jiu was full of confidence.

"That's fine, but she grew up in the countryside and doesn't know the rules. I have a playmate here with her, and we came into the palace together. Since she is willing to leave with Lord Zhou, let her playmate come with her and keep her company."

Zhou Xiang agreed readily.

"When she arrives at the Chang family, she will be the young lady and mistress of the Chang family. Naturally, she will have maids and old women serving her. It's understandable that she can bring one or two familiar people with her."

"Jiu'er, go with grandpa."

Zhao Zhuoxi gave Nishang to Jiang Jiu, and Jiang Jiu took Nanny Qian with him, packed their luggage simply, and followed Prime Minister Zhou.

Jiang Jiu didn't expect that they didn't go to Chang's house, but went directly to Zhou's house.

Getting off the carriage, Zhou Xiang explained, "Master Chang is seriously ill. We're afraid he might infect you, so we've taken Pingping and Tingting in. From now on, you'll live in the same courtyard with them."

I really want a pillow for sleeping.

Jiang Jiu was still thinking halfway that if he lived in the Chang family, it would be too inconvenient to go to the Zhou family. It would be better if he could live directly in the Zhou family.

Unexpectedly, Prime Minister Zhou really brought both girls from the Chang family over.

He also let Jiang Jiu live with them. Although Jiang Jiu didn't know what Zhou Xiang's intention was, it was exactly what she wanted.

Just as Zhou Xiang led Jiang Jiu into the backyard to pay a visit to Zhou Xiang's wife, Old Lady Zhou, Chang Mingyuan's two daughters in the hall stood up excitedly when they saw Jiang Jiu.

"Grandfather, why did you bring her here? She was the one who ordered that fake Jiang Jiu to kill my mother. She is our enemy."

Jiang Jiu didn't say anything, but Zhou Xiang frowned.

"Nonsense, she has no grudge against your mother, and the case hasn't been tried yet. Who knows if that woman deliberately impersonated Jiuer? After all, your father is in a high position, and there are many people who want to curry favor with him."

Yes, the case was not even tried, but it was determined like this. Minister Zhou still believed her quite a bit.

Jiang Jiu also pretended to be aggrieved.

"My two sisters, I was indeed kept in the dark. When I was in Sucheng, I stayed at her house. When she found out I was the daughter of the Chang family, she stole my jade pendant and went to Beijing to look for her relatives."

"If I hadn't become a maid in Prince Qi's mansion and followed the prince to the capital, I would never have known about this kind of thing, let alone exposed her. I am actually a victim just like you all."

Zhou Xiang waved his hand: "Alright, the murderer of your mother has been caught, let's just let it go. From now on, Jiuer will live with you in the mansion, and you sisters should get along well with each other."

After giving his instructions, Zhou Xiang turned and left.

When Old Mrs. Zhou saw Jiang Jiu, she smiled kindly and waved at her.

"Come, good child, come to grandma and let me take a good look at you. Alas, you are so pitiful. Your identity has been replaced by someone else, and you are still a maid. If it weren't for your father... we wouldn't have known that you had such a relative..."

I guess among the two girls of the Chang family, Jiang Jiu is indeed the granddaughter of the Zhou family.

Therefore, Jiang Jiu found that Mrs. Zhou's love for her seemed to be sincere.
