Song Wan paused and continued while observing Jun Jiuchen's expression.

"Although the prince holds military power, his subordinates are all military commanders, most of whom come from humble backgrounds and have earned their feats through their own abilities."

"Although it is admirable, the war has ended now. The situation in the court is different from that on the battlefield. The prince must be in dire need of a useful person right now! Open up a gap in the court for the prince!"

"This person must be familiar with the personalities of all the officials in the court and be able to control them!"

"And now there is only one person in Shangjing who can do this, and that is Prime Minister Song!"

"Prime Minister Song comes from a humble background. After the late Emperor passed away, the Prime Minister's Mansion became a target of public criticism. If Your Highness could lend a hand to the Prime Minister's Mansion at this time, using the resettlement of the Mobei Army as an opportunity, and pass this credit to Prime Minister Song, allowing him to serve Your Highness, wouldn't that be a win-win situation?"

Jun Jiuchen's eyes darkened when he heard this.

According to Suifeng's investigation, Jiang Wanqiao was just a girl who was ignorant of the ways of the world and was raised in the palm of her parents' hands.

Even after marrying into the Ningyuan Marquis's Mansion, she focused all her attention on the affairs of the inner chamber. She even became a little timid during the three years she was in the capital.

Not only does she feel inferior about her background, but she also attempts suicide because her husband takes a concubine.

Even though she was quite talented in medical guidance, her personality changed after the divorce.

But how could she suddenly have such insights into the political situation overnight?

It even coincides with his idea.

Today’s events…

Someone must have taught her.

But this person doesn't think about it.

But it had only been one night since she left, and there had been no news from Suifeng, obviously he hadn't discovered anything.

If it was really Song Wan who taught her.

How are they connected?

Jun Jiuchen thought about it, picked up the cup on the table and played with it in his hands.

He had to find a way.

Force Song Wan to show up!

"Miss Jiang's words do make some sense, but Miss Jiang is so smart, can't she see that this prince doesn't like Prime Minister Song?"

"Although the resettlement of the Mobei Army is urgent, if I want to, there are many people who want to borrow my influence, and the invitations from the Regent Palace are piling up. What makes Miss Jiang think... that I will choose your Jiang family?"

Song Wan pursed her lips and smiled.

"Of course I know that the prince dislikes the Prime Minister's Mansion, but I believe that the prince is a wise man and will know how to make a choice."

"As for why I chose the Jiang family, it's naturally because the Jiang family wants what the prince can give without any worries."

"Although the prince's palace has received a mountain of visiting cards, I think most of them are from officials in the court or forces related to them."

"The reason they acted this way is probably because they either have something to hide after seeing the prince's recent violent actions in the capital, or they want to take shortcuts by getting close to him and rise to higher positions in the new dynasty. What they are trying to do will definitely bring muddy waters upon the prince."

"And obviously, the prince would not want this to happen!"

"But our Jiang family is different. We are just honest merchants. We will not hinder what His Majesty wants to do. I can also assure His Majesty that our Jiang family is doing an upright business and will never use His Majesty's name to do anything illegal."

"Even if there is, His Majesty can easily deal with us! So for His Majesty, our Jiang family is the most worry-free choice!"

Jun Jiuchen turned the cup in his hand.

"That does make some sense, but Miss Jiang's words today did give me some inspiration..."

"The Jiang family is not the only wealthy family in the world with clean assets. Now that your Jiang family has consolidated its Jiangnan businesses and started anew, the future may not be promising."

"Since I am willing to do this favor, I can find someone more reliable than your Jiang family. That way, if there are any problems in the future, we can get used to it and avoid having to go through the trouble again."

"For example... the Fang family in Jinling... the He family in Kaifeng..."

Jun Jiuchen paused, put down the cup in his hand, glanced at the brocade box on the table, and suddenly changed the subject.

"However, since Miss Jiang has come to me today and is so sincere, I cannot be too unkind."

"How about this, I have a wish that I haven't fulfilled yet. If your Jiang family can do it for me, I will accept this favor from you."

"I will also seriously consider Miss Jiang's proposal regarding the Prime Minister's Mansion..."

Upon hearing this, Song Wan couldn't help but feel a little happy.

"Please speak, my lord. I am all ears."

Jun Jiuchen looked at the flash of joy in the eyes of the woman in front of him and curled his lips calmly.

Then he leaned back in his seat and spoke slowly.

"It's not a big deal. When I was in Mobei, a close friend mentioned a painting called 'The Lone Goose' to me. It's the late Master Yu Bai's masterpiece, capturing the tragic and heroic events of the Mobei battlefield many years ago."

"Although my good friend is not a refined person and doesn't care about so-called masterpieces, the painting depicts the battlefield his late father personally experienced, which is also his deepest regret. It means a lot to him. Therefore, ever since he accidentally saw the painting of the lone goose, he has been obsessed with it."

"This prince and this good friend have shared life and death for many years, so naturally I want to fulfill this wish for him. Unfortunately, after we returned to the capital, we heard that the painting has fallen into the hands of an unknown person..."

"Since the Jiang family has been doing business for many years, I think they must have some connections. Why don't you use this matter of finding paintings to show me your Jiang family's abilities and fulfill my wish at the same time?"
