Chapter 121 Take action? Not afraid!
Just as Jiang Lige finished speaking, Xie Yanhui walked in from outside. He had obviously heard what Zhou Wang had just said. Although his expression was not ugly, the dissatisfaction in his eyes was very obvious.
But even though Xie Yanhui was dissatisfied with the attitude of Wenchang Marquis' Mansion, he still answered with ease.
"Princess Zhaohua, you're joking. If I didn't even have this much tolerance, I wouldn't be standing here today."
"Yes, Xie San, you are a very tolerant Prime Minister, but what about Princess Jingyu?"
Jiang Lige shrugged indifferently, took two steps forward and whispered in Xie Yanhui's ear:
"Although I don't know why Princess Jingyu is seeking the position of Marquis's wife for you, but since she has given you this seat, it is because she hopes to use you to control the Marquis' Mansion. If you fail to follow the Princess' orders, what do you think will be the outcome?"
Xie Yanhui's face turned pale when she heard this. She had to admit that Jiang Lige's words just now completely grasped her weaknesses. So although Xie Yanhui did not answer, her expression no longer had the composure she had just now.
Seeing this, Zhou Wang became anxious and couldn't help but knock the ground hard with the crutch in her hand and shouted.
"I respect you as a princess and have always been tolerant of you. But now you are trying to sow discord with me with your sweet words. You truly don't know your place! Today, I will teach you a lesson on behalf of the Queen Mother!"
After Zhou Wang said this, she raised her cane and swung it towards Jiang Lige.
Jiang Lige didn't want Zhou Wangshi to go to such lengths for Li'er, so he dodged nimbly and grabbed Zhou Wangshi's crutch. He pulled hard and threw Zhou Wangshi to the ground.
Zhou Wang was so dizzy from the fall that she didn't even bother to get up and roared in frustration.
"Are all the people outside blind? Hurry up and arrest her and hand her over to the authorities!"
After receiving the order, the guards of the Marquis' Mansion immediately stepped forward and surrounded Jiang Lige aggressively.
The guards were all big and strong, with unfriendly faces. Jiang Lige knew his own strength and could not withstand the siege of these guards at all. Today he could only outsmart them!
"You all know my identity. The old lady touched me today, and the Empress Dowager may spare her life because of her imperial decree. What about you?" Thinking this, Jiang Lige straightened his back without fear, a slightly sarcastic smile on his face. "How many lives can you pay?"
After Jiang Lige said this, the guards who were just aggressive lost half of their anger instantly. Of course, there were also a few loyal ones among them who stiffened their necks and shouted.
"Our lives were given by the Marquis' Mansion. We have no regrets in dying for the Marquis' Mansion!"
Seeing this, Jiang Lige turned his head without changing his expression and looked at Zhou Wangshi who had just stood up. He casually took off the accessories around his waist and said with a smile.
"If I pull the trigger on this thing, a beautiful firework will explode above your head. The palace guards will come to your rescue immediately upon receiving the message. Are you willing to give it a try, old lady?"
The excitement just now had cooled down a bit at this moment, and Zhou Wangshi also felt frightened after realizing it belatedly. Everyone knew that this devil in front of her was the apple of the eye of the Queen Mother Jiang. Who would really dare to report the matter to the Queen Mother Jiang?
Zhou Wangshi endured the pain in her body and spoke out in time to stop them: "God is merciful. The Marquis's Mansion is small and we can't afford to offend or entertain Princess Zhaohua! Butler, send Princess Zhaohua and Dong away!"
"No need to see me off. I hope the old lady can give us an answer as soon as possible, otherwise I might get into trouble again if I can't control my mouth."
After Jiang Lige finished speaking, he curled his lips mischievously, took Dong Lianchu's arm and turned away, leaving everyone in the room with angry faces.
After leaving the Wenchang Marquis Mansion, Dong Lianchu patted his chest in shock and took a closer look at the thing in Jiang Lige's hand.
"Can signal flares be made so delicately nowadays?"
Jiang Lige chuckled upon hearing this, stuffed the jade ornament into Dong Lianchu's hand, and whispered, "It's just an ordinary decoration, try to trick them!"
Dong Lianchu finally realized what was happening and started laughing. He glared at Jiang Lige and scolded her, "Bad girl!"
The two sisters chatted and laughed all the way back to Chang'anfang. After entrusting Dong Lianchu to Yu Linglong, Jiang Lige set off back to the palace.
Not coming home for one night is already overstepping the bounds.
Fortunately, Queen Mother Jiang knew Jiang Lige's personality, and also knew that this attempt to test Dong Lianchu's opinion was indeed a bit cruel to Jiang Lige. She just thought that she was just angry, and did not think much about it.
Therefore, after Jiang Lige entered the Funing Palace, Empress Dowager Jiang did not blame her at all. She only asked her if she was thirsty, hungry, and whether she had a good rest last night. Finally, she could not help but give her some advice.
"I know you must be feeling bad about Lianchu's suffering. It's not a big deal for you to stay out for one night, but next time, at least bring Songyue Fengquan and the others with you. At least I have to know that you are safe and sound, so that I can feel better."
Even though Jiang Lige was full of complaints, his anger disappeared completely after hearing what Queen Mother Jiang said. Queen Mother Jiang's position meant that she had to put the honor of the royal family first in everything, and she couldn't act as recklessly as Jiang Lige was doing now.
Jiang Lige obediently took the pastries handed to him by Empress Dowager Jiang. His heart softened and his tone softened as well.
"Grandma, I already know what Sister Lianchu is planning."
"how?"
"Sister Lianchu is willing to divorce, but only if Li'er goes with her."
Upon hearing this, Empress Dowager Jiang was also a little surprised. In her eyes, Dong Lianchu had always been weak and well-behaved, so it was really unexpected that she could be so tough as to choose to divorce with her child.
Surprised, Empress Dowager Jiang nodded after a long while: "Okay, if she finds a man she likes in the future, I will make the decision for her."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Lige obediently moved closer to Empress Dowager Jiang and said, "No one can predict what will happen in the future, but right now, there is one matter that requires my great-aunt's decision."
Empress Dowager Jiang thought for a moment and guessed what she was asked to decide. She glared at Jiang Lige and said, "The child is the treasure of the Marquis' Mansion. How could you let him go so easily?"
"So, I have to ask my great-aunt and Princess Jingyu to reveal a few things. There's no need to say too much, just tell the truth about the Marquis's love for Li'er."
Given Princess Jingyu's personality, she certainly doesn't want to end up making wedding dresses for others after going through so much effort this time.
How could the wise Empress Dowager Jiang not understand what Jiang Lige hadn't said? Dong Lianchu had been raised by her for several years, so naturally, she hoped that Dong Lianchu would have a bright future.
"I agree to this matter."
Hearing Queen Mother Jiang's agreement, Jiang Lige was about to let go, but she stopped smiling and said solemnly:
"I have something else I want to tell you today. It's about Jiang Chuchu."
