Chapter 8: Borrowing the Power of Master Pei
In order to maintain the dignity of the daughter of the prime minister, Jiang Wansang lived in a not bad courtyard, but she was not valued by Jiang Gaoyuan and his wife after all, so over the years, neither servants nor masters came to her Tingsang Pavilion.
But at this time, the lights in Tingsang Pavilion were on. Jiang Gaoyuan and his wife, the housekeeper and servants, and even the people from the second branch of the Jiang family were all gathered in the yard.
Zhe Liu immediately stood in front of Jiang Wansang and looked at the person in front of him nervously.
Although she was not smart, she knew that the ancestral hall was burned down and a young master had fainted inside. The young lady who was punished to kneel in the hall was the biggest suspect.
The master and the others are here, they must be here to ask their young lady for punishment!
Jiang Wansang pulled Zheliu back and calmly looked at Jiang Gaoyuan, who seemed to be about to spit fire. "Father, why is he not sleeping in the middle of the night and bringing so many people to Tingsang Pavilion?"
Jiang Gaoyuan frowned and looked at her in a serious tone, "The ancestral hall is the foundation of the family. A fire in the ancestral hall is a serious matter. Why aren't you in the ancestral hall?"
Jiang Wansang idly touched her stomach. "I was so hungry late at night that I went to the kitchen for a midnight snack. Is eating in the middle of the night against the law?"
Seeing her rude appearance, Meng Lianshu's already strong anger instantly surged. "I made you kneel in the ancestral hall as punishment, but who allowed you to leave? Did you know that the ancestral hall caught fire and you didn't stay inside? You almost killed your cousin!"
Jiang Wansang was delighted when she heard this.
The ancestral hall was on fire, but they wanted her to stay inside. Did they think she was strong and could not be burned to death?
She raised her eyelids, a sneer on her lips, "Since you were almost there, you're still alive. You're quite lucky."
This sighing tone seemed to carry a hint of regret.
She looked nonchalant and asked, "You came to me in the middle of the night just to talk about this?"
Jiang Zihan simply couldn't stand such a "vicious" question.
"Jiang Wansang, how could you be so vicious!"
Jiang Zihan came out, filled with righteous indignation, "That's the cousin you've called for so many years! He rushed into the fire to save you, but you were so cowardly that you abandoned him and even stood here making sarcastic remarks. How can there be such a vicious person like you in this world!"
Jiang Wansang was stunned for a moment. "Who told you that Jiang Mingzhi went into the ancestral hall to save me?"
Jiang Zihan was shocked. "You...you are so ungrateful that you don't even want to admit it!"
Jiang Wansang: "..."
Could this girl of destiny be mentally retarded?
Jiang Zihan's eyes were full of disgust, as if he was looking at some unforgivable sinner.
She took a deep breath and said, "Okay, even if you don't admit that your cousin saved you, you can't make excuses about the burning of the ancestral hall, right?"
As if afraid that Jiang Wansang would deny it, she deliberately added, "The ancestral hall was locked at that time, and you were the only one inside!"
The latter said calmly, "Oh, the burning of the ancestral hall is indeed related to me."
Her tone was so calm as if she was saying "It's dark, time to go to bed", which made everyone confused.
"You...you admit it?"
Meng Lianshu was so shocked that she felt like she was hallucinating. She looked at Jiang Wansang as if she was meeting her for the first time.
Not only her, no one expected that Jiang Wansang would admit it directly. The entire Tingsang Pavilion fell silent, and even Zhe Liu couldn't help but show a look of surprise.
Jiang Wansang seemed completely unaware of the shock she had caused. "I was locked up in the ancestral hall. No one came to bring me food when it got dark. I was so hungry I was dizzy, and then my cousin, dressed as a ghost, scared me, so I accidentally knocked over the candlestick."
"If someone hadn't suddenly appeared and saved my life, and even sent me to the kitchen to eat, I would have starved to death even if I hadn't been burned to death."
Hearing this, Jiang Gaoyuan, who had been silent all this time, suddenly asked, "Are you saying that an outsider has entered the Jiang Family Ancestral Hall?"
As the prime minister of a country, his residence is naturally loose on the outside but tight on the inside, and it is impossible for ordinary people to sneak in quietly.
But now, not only did someone come in, but they also burned down the ancestral hall. If the other party was an assassin targeting him...
Jiang Wansang's gaze fell on him, and she suddenly curled her lips into a smile, "Yeah, if it weren't for that person, I would be dead."
Jiang Gaoyuan's eyes flashed, and he asked anxiously, "Do you know that man? Where is he? Is he here to assassinate me? Who sent him?"
The ancestral hall can be rebuilt after it burns down, but if the guards in the mansion make a mistake and an assassin takes advantage of it, then he will be in danger!
As smart as Jiang Wansang was, it was clear to her that he was worried about what he asked.
Just now he said that "the fire in the ancestral hall is a big deal", but now he is concerned about whether he will be assassinated. It's really ridiculous!
Jiang Wansang looked at Jiang Gaoyuan without hiding the sarcasm in her eyes. That look was like a slap in the face.
This was the first time someone dared to challenge him since he became the prime minister, and Jiang Gaoyuan's face suddenly darkened.
He was about to explode when Jiang Wansang suddenly raised her hand and pointed to the darkness to the side, "The person who saved me is right there."
In an instant, everyone's eyes looked over.
Perhaps it was because the night was dark, or perhaps it was because the man was too skilled, but even if they looked carefully, no one could tell that someone was hiding there.
But Jiang Wansang spoke with great certainty, and one could even clearly feel the man's breathing becoming disordered in an instant when she pointed out his location.
The place where the man was hiding was not far away, just within the range that her current supernatural powers could perceive.
The atmosphere was silent for a while before Jiang Wansang spoke slowly, "This is the secret guard that Master Pei arranged for me. He's here to protect me."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone gasped, even the person hiding in the dark had his breathing disordered.
He originally thought that Jiang Wansang was a blind cat that had caught a dead mouse, and was actually unaware of his existence. After all, his skills were considered the best among all the secret guards.
But Jiang Wansang not only pointed out his location, but also revealed his origins. Where did he reveal his flaw?
After working as a secret guard for so many years, this was the first time he doubted his abilities.
In fact, it’s not that there is a problem with his ability, but that Jiang Wansang’s ability is too extraordinary.
From the moment she stepped out of the palace and returned to Lu Pavilion, she realized that someone was following her.
It goes without saying that this person must have been sent by Pei Zhanzhou.
As for the purpose...
Jiang Wansang's eyes flickered as she looked at Jiang Gaoyuan with a smile, "He's right there. Father, do you want to call him out for a face-to-face confrontation?"
She didn't seem to worry at all about her words being exposed.
Pei Zhanzhou's reputation is useful, and he has brought people to her. It would be a shame not to use it!
The people around Jiang Gaoyuan were not good-for-nothings. He noticed it the moment the man's breath became disordered because of Jiang Wansang's words.
They nodded to Jiang Gaoyuan, holding their weapons in their hands, ready to take action at any time.
But Jiang Gaoyuan just had a gloomy face and didn't speak for a long time.
He didn't like others challenging his authority as the prime minister of a country, but that person was Master Pei, a person whom even the emperor had to give him respect.
