Chapter 366 Winning over
Chapter 366 Winning over
Murong Wudi wanted to win me over.
This was Jiang Yin’s first thought.
Was it because of the strength he had just demonstrated? Or was it because there was a great master standing behind him?
Or is it that he has a good relationship with the royal family?
Does he want to help Murong Shula?
The current Emperor of Ming Dynasty has not yet appointed a queen, and there are two favored concubines in the palace.
One is Concubine Shu and the other is Concubine Wan.
Between the two, Concubine Wan had a better family background and a higher position.
But the emperor's favor towards the two of them was almost the same, so they both had the potential to become queens.
The most crucial point is who will give birth to the prince first.
Now that neither of them has made any move, we can fight for other things.
Jiang Yin is Yun Luo's master, and is admired by both the Empress Dowager and the Emperor. If he is willing to enter the court, he will obtain an important position in a short time.
Murong Wudi could see this.
Before he met Jiang Yin, he had heard of this person. Now that he had seen him, he felt that the other party was extraordinary, so he wanted to win him over.
So much so that he didn't take Jiang Yin's palm strike just now seriously at all.
If he could be won over to become his son-in-law, it would definitely be a great help.
Especially since the Murong family is now being targeted by Liu Xi of the Eastern Depot, they need even more external help.
Jiang Yin didn't know that Murong Wudi had so many ideas, and he quickly rejected the proposal.
"Thank you for your kindness, Master Murong, but I already have someone I like in my heart, so I can only let you down."
"Oh? That's a pity."
Murong Wudi looked disappointed.
Haitang looked at Jiang Yin curiously.
Already have someone you like?
who is it?
Why haven't you heard of it before?
Is it only available this year?
The soul of gossip was already burning, but Haitang suddenly felt a little sad in her heart, which made her feel a little strange. The three of them exchanged pleasantries for a while, and Murong Shu came back.
"Why did you come back alone? Where are Xian'er and that brat?"
Murong Wudi asked.
"I let them go."
"What? You just let them go? What were you thinking?"
Upon hearing this, Murong Wudi stood up immediately with an angry look on his face.
"Xian'er has grown up. She should have the opportunity to decide her own life. So, I want to give her, and Xiaoyu'er, a chance."
"Nonsense!"
Murong Wudi was very angry, but considering Jiang Yin and Shangguan Haitang standing by, he could only endure it temporarily.
"Master Jiang, Haitang, you should also be going back to the capital, right? How about staying here for two days first, and then we can go back to the palace together the day after tomorrow?"
Murong Shu suddenly said to Jiang Yin and Haitang.
"Isn't this inconvenient?"
Haitang was a little embarrassed.
After all, she is from the Huolong Villa, and it would not be a good thing if she got too close to the concubine.
But Jiang Yin couldn't get what he wanted.
He originally came to the Murong family to gather intelligence, and it would be more convenient for him to act if he stayed.
"Haitang, how can we refuse the invitation from the Concubine Shu? I think we should stay for two days.
The Murong family is a family of martial arts, and I also want to spar with the masters in the village.
Madam Shufei, is it okay?"
"Of course. Haitang, Mr. Jiang is going to stay, what about you?"
"Then I'll stay with him."
Seeing that Jiang Yin agreed, Haitang had no choice but to agree.
Murong Shu immediately asked someone to arrange rooms for the two of them, and at the same time began to prepare a banquet to entertain them.
In the backyard of the villa.
A woman in purple with a cool temperament was fiddling with her own medicine garden, and not far away, a man in black was hiding in the dark and watching.
The two men, one light and one dark, one purple and one black, looked somewhat weird.
"Second Miss, Second Miss, something bad has happened!"
Just then, a maid suddenly ran over.
"What's the matter? Why are you so flustered?"
"I just heard outside the hall that the master seemed to want to arrange a marriage for you." "Huh?"
Hearing this, the originally cold and aloof woman suddenly raised her head and looked at the maid, with a hint of confusion and surprise in her eyes, and of course, dissatisfaction.
It wasn't just him who reacted, but also the man in black in the dark.
"What marriage?"
"This morning, the Third Miss came back with three people. One of them should be the thief who stole the thousand-year-old Fire Ganoderma lucidum, and the other two seemed to be VIPs.
I saw the master and the eldest daughter talked with them in the hall for a while, and then the eldest daughter took the little thief and the third daughter to the backyard, and then the master began to talk to the young master about betrothing you to him. "
"What's that man's name?"
"I don't know. I heard the eldest lady call him Mr. Jiang."
"Mr. Jiang? Could it be Jiang Yulang?"
The purple-clothed woman murmured, with a hint of disgust in her eyes.
"Second Miss, what should we do now?"
"Dad, are you sure you want to marry me to him?"
"I don't know... I ran back when I heard the news."
"Stupid. Go ask around." "Okay!"
The maid ran out immediately, leaving the woman in purple to continue watering the medicine garden.
Not long after, the man in black hiding in the dark also left.
As if she sensed the black-clothed man's departure, the purple-clothed woman looked in the direction where he originally was.
She seemed to be thinking about something, but she said nothing.
This woman was none other than the second daughter of the Murong family, Murong Jiu.
On the other side, Murong Ancestral Hall.
"Tell me, why did you let Xian'er and that brat leave? Do you really think that brat is a good match for Xian'er?"
Murong Wudi said coldly.
"Dad, Xiao Yu'er may seem a bit out of touch, but he has some backbone and responsibility, and he's smart enough, so it's not wrong to say that he's a good match for me.
And now the East Factory has set its sights on us. If we are unfortunately harmed by the East Factory, Xian'er can at least save her life by following him."
As Murong Shu spoke, Murong Wudi's anger gradually subsided.
Dongchang!
This is also what he fears.
He had previously had a pretty good relationship with the East Factory and had even done things for it.
But later he found out that he had been deceived by the East Factory, so the relationship between the two was severed.
In the eyes of the East Factory, anyone is either a friend or an enemy.
"It's amazing that you can think of this. But it's not that easy for the East Factory to destroy my Murong family! Do you really think that my Murong family is easy to bully?
If you push me to the limit, I'll just risk my life! Do you really think that this is all the Murong family has?"
Murong Wudi said angrily.
"Dad, don't be angry. Now is not the time to risk your life. Don't even think about contacting them. Otherwise, you might just get out of the tiger's den and fall into the wolf's den. Those people are not much kinder than the East Factory."
Murong Shu hurriedly persuaded.
"Well, I understand that, of course. But..."
"This matter is still under control, so don't rush to make the worst-case scenario plan. Right now we still have some people we can win over, such as Jiang Yin who came to the villa today."
