Jiang Wansang had long known that the drama at the West City Inn was arranged by the Third Prince, but she pretended to be surprised.

She stared at the Third Prince for a while and asked, "Third Prince, you told me so bluntly, aren't you afraid that I'll tell the Seventh Prince about it?"

Hearing her say this, the Third Prince still smiled calmly and said, "I believe Miss Jiang is no longer the same as before. She will definitely not be so foolish as to let herself be taken advantage of again."

He spoke confidently, but in fact it was only because he knew that Jiang Wansang could not produce any evidence, so it didn't matter even if he really went to inform on her.

Of course Jiang Wansang couldn't go and tell on the secret, otherwise she would really be considered "stupid" in the eyes of the Third Prince.

She smiled and nodded, "The Third Prince is right, I am indeed different from before."

"They say that those who show kindness without any reason are either treacherous or thieves. The Third Prince has arranged such a grand spectacle for me. It can't be that he has nothing better to do and suddenly feels kind, right?"

These words were both direct and somewhat harsh, and the third prince seemed unable to help but twitch the corner of his mouth.

But he quickly calmed down and continued, "The enemy of my enemy is my friend. Old Seven once betrayed Miss Jiang, and I just can't stand his recent behavior. I wonder if Miss Jiang is interested in collaborating?"

As he spoke, he filled the wine glass in front of Jiang Wansang, picked up the glass and handed it to her, waiting for her answer.

Jiang Wansang did not respond directly, but looked at the person in front of him thoughtfully.

Of course, she didn't believe that the Third Prince wanted to cooperate with her just because he was concerned that "the Seventh Prince had betrayed her", but no matter what his purpose was, she was happy to see the Third Prince fight Su Huanyu.

Jiang Wansang held her handkerchief and looked at the person in front of her with a smile, "I am just a little girl, how can I be qualified to cooperate with the Third Prince?"

The smile on the Third Prince's face froze.

How dare she refuse?

The third prince was about to take back the wine glass, but Jiang Wansang suddenly reached out to take it.

Under his puzzled gaze, Jiang Wansang said, "However, if you want to target the Seventh Prince, the Third Prince can ask for help wherever he can."

Cooperation means that both parties benefit each other.

But helping others can make the other party owe her a favor.

The Third Prince had not anticipated her plan. When he heard her words, he thought she had agreed to cooperate. But when he saw her drink the wine he handed over, his displeasure instantly dissipated.

Watching Jiang Wansang drink the wine, Pei Zhanzhou, who had been paying attention to the movements here, frowned slightly and looked around.

As expected, many people have noticed this scene, openly or secretly, and more and more people are looking at Jiang Wansang.

As the Third Prince is a rival to the Crown Prince, his every move is watched by countless eyes.

Now, seeing him having a "very pleasant conversation" with the eldest daughter of the Jiang family, everyone was confused.

When did the Third Prince become so familiar with Miss Jiang?

Prime Minister Jiang’s biological daughter is engaged to the Seventh Prince, so is he going to bet his adopted daughter on the Third Prince?

Even the Prime Minister, who never takes sides, has placed a bet. Is there some hidden secret that they don't know about?

Those who were able to serve as officials in the court all had some conspiracy theories, and naturally associated the actions of the two with Jiang Gaoyuan.

This is also the reason why the third prince chose to approach Jiang Wansang and confess himself on this occasion.

Jiang Wansang had seen through his thoughts a long time ago, but she didn't expose him because it would bring trouble to the Jiang family.

She said she wanted to avenge the original owner, so she naturally wouldn't let the Jiang family go easily.

The reason why he didn't take action directly was because slowly destroying the things that the Jiang family cared about could be considered true revenge.

The banquet lasted a long time, and the Third Prince certainly couldn't stay with Jiang Wansang the entire time, so he left after chatting for a while.

As soon as he left, Jiang Gaoyuan, who had been waiting for a long time, walked up with a sullen face.

"Jiang Wansang, have you forgotten what I told you before entering the palace?" He lowered his voice and spoke with gritted teeth, but his face had to maintain a stiff fatherly expression.

Jiang Wansang was worrying about how to wipe the grape juice off her hands. After hearing this, she looked up at him with a sarcastic expression.

She had no interest in wasting time talking to Jiang Gaoyuan, so she directly exposed his thoughts. "Prime Minister, why are you standing up now and blaming me for being too close to the Third Prince? Why didn't you stand up when the Third Prince was here just now?"

"Because you haven't decided whether to bet me on the Crown Prince or the Third Prince, you want to keep the Third Prince hanging, but you don't want to make your attitude too clear. That's why you stood up after the Third Prince left, making the Crown Prince's people think that you didn't actually choose the Third Prince, right?"

She expressed Jiang Gaoyuan's thoughts in just a few words, and her voice was quite loud so that everyone nearby could hear it.

Among these people, there are the prince's people, the third prince's people, and some people who secretly have defected to whom no one knows.

Jiang Gaoyuan knew that Jiang Wansang was no longer someone he could easily manipulate, but he never expected her to be so crazy as to say such words out loud in such an occasion. He finally couldn't help but change his expression, "Shut up!"

Jiang Gaoyuan no longer cared about putting on airs. He leaned closer to Jiang Wansang and lowered his voice, "Do you think that if something happens to the Jiang family, you, the nominal Miss Jiang, can escape responsibility? You are too naive!"

Jiang Wansang raised his eyes and sneered, "Prime Minister, you have bad breath."

Jiang Gaoyuan never expected her to say that and almost stumbled and fell to the ground.

"you……"

He pointed at Jiang Wansang with a dark face, his hands shaking with anger, but his body subconsciously moved away from Jiang Wansang.

Jiang Wansang remained calm and was just about to "kindly" add a little green to his face when a voice rang out from the side: "This is a palace banquet. Does the Prime Minister want to deal with your Jiang family's affairs in front of the Emperor?"

Jiang Gaoyuan turned around suddenly and saw that Master Pei, who had been sitting on the high platform and kept away from strangers, had walked down from the platform at some point.

Hearing Pei Zhanzhou's words, he subconsciously looked around and found that many people were looking at his situation, including the crown prince and the third prince.

Jiang Gaoyuan's expression froze, and he quickly suppressed his emotions, putting his usual signature gentle and friendly smile back on his face.

But his reaction, which changed in the blink of an eye, was clearly seen by everyone.

We heard about the commotion in front of the Prime Minister's Mansion some time ago, and naturally, people in the Imperial City also heard a lot of rumors. Many people who didn't see it with their own eyes thought that Jiang Gaoyuan was the victim of someone's conspiracy. After all, his humble and friendly image had been maintained in the Imperial City for decades, and many people had already taken it to heart.

But after seeing it with their own eyes today, it seems that the Prime Minister Jiang they knew in the past is probably different from the reality.

Being able to maintain his image for decades and deceive everyone in the imperial city, this Prime Minister Jiang is indeed extraordinary!
