Chapter 171 Meng Lianshu's Conspiracy
Looking at Pei Zhanzhou's murderous look, Jiang Wansang didn't react for a long time.
She had known Pei Zhanzhou for so long, but she had never seen him express his emotions like this.
Killed Meng Lianshu?
"Did she offend you?"
Even Jiang Gaoyuan didn't dare to confront Grand Master Pei directly. Even if Meng Lianshu had ten times the courage, she wouldn't dare to provoke Pei Zhanzhou, right?
Pei Zhanzhou did not answer her question, but his dark eyes clearly gave a positive answer.
Jiang Wansang became even more curious, "What did she do?"
Pei Zhanzhou pursed his lips and still didn't answer. Instead, he asked, "Do you know what plans are for Meng Lianshu's birthday party?"
Jiang Wansang didn't know why he asked that, so she answered honestly, "I know the general idea, but I don't know the details. What's wrong?"
Pei Zhanzhou's eyes turned slightly cold as he spoke slowly, "Meng Lianshu and Madam Sun, the Minister of War, have already exchanged your and Sun Shuo's birth dates. They've agreed to propose marriage on Meng Lianshu's birthday."
His voice was calm, yet it gave people an indescribable coldness.
Jiang Wansang didn't notice the difference in his tone, thinking about what he said, "Minister of War?"
The original owner's memory contained a lot of information about the family of the Minister of War, but that was just the basic intersection between the official families in the imperial city, and there was nothing special about it.
But Jiang Wansang had a vague feeling that it was very familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere before.
Seeing that she had obviously forgotten, Pei Zhanzhou kindly reminded her, "The one whose head you chopped off in the palace was the bastard of the Sun family."
Jiang Wansang was stunned for a moment.
Cut off the head?
She'd chopped off so many heads, how could she remember...
Jiang Wansang suddenly paused and suddenly remembered something.
When she first came in, she was at a palace banquet and Jiang Zihan replaced her wine glass and drugged her. At that time, a man who didn't know how to live or die came up to her, and she directly chopped off his head.
Later, in order to avoid assassins, she was forced to sneak into Huilu Pavilion and met Pei Zhanzhou...
The incident ended with the assassin sneaking into the palace, and she also changed the original owner's tragic ending in the book where she was forced to marry, so she had long forgotten about it.
Jiang Wansang still thought that no one knew that he was the one who took action at that time. After all, the explanation given by the palace was that he encountered an assassin.
But looking at Pei Zhanzhou's current appearance, he was obviously very sure that he was the one who did it.
Pei Zhanzhou could see that there was a curiosity in the look in her eyes as she stared at him, but she didn't explain anything.
He did not see with his own eyes Jiang Wansang chopping off the head of the illegitimate son of the Minister of War, but he had seen the wound where the head was broken, and he had also seen the technique with which Jiang Wansang broke a sword in front of him.
After comparing the two, he naturally had the answer in his mind.
If it were before, he would definitely make a fuss about this matter in order to test Jiang Wansang's true strength.
but now……
Everyone has secrets. He was sure that Jiang Wansang would not harm him, so it was normal to have some secrets.
The two looked at each other, then tacitly shifted their gazes, tacitly skipping over certain questions.
Jiang Wansang coughed twice, "Why did Meng Lianshu choose the Sun family?"
If the Sun family knew that it was she who chopped off the head of their illegitimate son, they would have asked the Dali Temple to arrest her long ago, so it must have been a coincidence that the Sun family chose her.
But Meng Lianshu definitely didn't choose the Sun family because marrying into the Sun family was a good in-law family.
Pei Zhanzhou personally brought this news, so he naturally checked everything out. "The cousin of the Minister of War is a concubine in the Crown Prince's mansion. The Sun family has been affiliated with the Crown Prince for many years."
The battle for the crown prince depends entirely on the complex marriages between families.
Therefore, Meng Lianshu wanted to betroth Jiang Wansang to the Sun family, which was a revelation that the Prime Minister's Mansion intended to stand on the side of the Crown Prince.
But now the Crown Prince and the Third Prince are still evenly matched in strength. Considering the temperament of that old fox Jiang Gaoyuan, he shouldn't express his stance so early.
Seeing her frowning and thoughtful expression, Pei Zhanzhou suddenly asked, "What are you thinking about?"
Jiang Wansang didn't hide her thoughts. "I'm wondering if Jiang Gaoyuan's choice of the Sun family means he's already chosen the crown prince, or does he have other plans?"
Pei Zhanzhou's expression froze for a moment. "Shouldn't you be concerned about why Meng Lianshu chose the Sun family?"
Jiang Wansang looked up blankly, "Isn't it because the Sun family belongs to the Crown Prince?"
Pei Zhanzhou: “…”
He seemed somewhat helpless. "There are so many people in the court who are related to the crown prince, and there are many unmarried children in their families. Why is it the Sun family?"
Jiang Wansang was silent.
She was just thinking about Jiang Gaoyuan's problem and didn't consider this point for a while.
After a moment, she hesitated and said, "Does the Sun family have any bad secrets?"
If not for this, Meng Lianshu would definitely not let her marry him.
Mentioning this, Pei Zhanzhou's expression darkened slightly, "That Sun Shuo...wasn't born with it."
Jiang Wansang didn't react to what he meant by "no" for a moment, and stared at Pei Zhanzhou for a long time, until he showed a bit of embarrassment and awkwardness on his face, then she reacted.
It turns out that the "good marriage" Meng Lianshu found for her was meant to make her a widow!
Jiang Wansang, realizing what was going on, was speechless and wanted to laugh, but then she became puzzled, "How did you know this?"
As the eldest son of the Sun family, Sun Shuo's affairs will definitely be kept secret. Even if Pei Zhanzhou has spies in the Sun family, he will not specifically investigate such matters, right?
Pei Zhanzhou seemed to have thought of something, and a gleam flashed in his eyes.
He knew this not because he was specifically investigating, but because he was investigating the head of the Changyue Temple outside the city...
"Mrs. Sun has been worried about her son's affairs for years. In the end, she began to believe in gods and ghosts. In the past two years, she has been looking for the abbot of Changyue Temple to perform a ritual."
If he hadn't found Chang Yueguan, he wouldn't have known that the Jiang family was so bold as to find such a marriage for Jiang Wansang!
Jiang Wansang had little interest in the Sun family's private affairs.
Now that she knew what Meng Lianshu was planning and why the Sun family and Meng Lianshu reached an agreement, she should also prepare for the show on the birthday party day.
But before that, Jiang Wansang still had a question in her mind, "Is there something you want to investigate Changyue Temple about?"
When she heard the three words "Chang Yueguan" just now, she always felt that they were somewhat familiar. She carefully searched through the relevant memories in the book before she remembered them.
This Changyue Temple is a Taoist temple dedicated to performing rituals and praying for peace for the nobles in the imperial city. It is quite famous in the imperial city, and even the nobles in the palace occasionally go to the Taoist temple to pray for blessings.
This Taoist temple, which is inaccessible to ordinary people and seems to be self-contained, is actually a chess piece planted by someone more than ten years ago.
Pei Zhanzhou thought he knew Jiang Wansang quite well, and he knew what she knew just by looking at her expression.
He asked curiously, "Do you know about Chang Yueguan?"
