Chapter 111 Jiang Xiaodie's Little Plan
"You mean... you told Miss Jiang that the Third Princess was confessing her feelings and showing kindness to the Master in various ways every day, and not only did the Master not kick her out of the Imperial Master's Mansion, but she even accepted her gifts?"
Zhou Zhi raised his voice a little, and his usually serious face twitched twice.
Lin Tong nodded obediently, not noticing anything was wrong.
Zhou Zhi's breathing quickened. "Miss Jiang asked you to convey that message to the master, and then she left? She looked very angry when she left, but you didn't try to stop her?"
Lin Tong shrank his neck and nodded again, but his movements were stiffer than last time.
Judging from Commander Zhou’s reaction, he must have done something wrong.
But he didn't know what was wrong.
Lin Tong glanced at his master cautiously, and saw Pei Zhanzhou sitting behind the desk, looking at him expressionlessly.
Lin Tong felt a chill on his neck.
Zhou Zhi, who was always calm, almost gasped for breath. He gritted his teeth and said, "Tell me exactly what happened between you two after you met Miss Jiang. Remember, every word!"
He specifically reminded her of the last four words, so Lin Tong naturally didn't dare to hesitate and quickly told her the whole story from beginning to end.
Fortunately, he was smart enough to accurately repeat the conversation between the two people word for word.
After saying this, he still didn't realize what he had done wrong, but he could feel the atmosphere around him getting colder and colder.
"Pfft!"
Lin Tong knelt down directly, "Please forgive me, Master!"
He didn't know where he went wrong, but he was definitely wrong.
Pei Zhanzhou's face was cold and hard, and he suddenly stood up from behind the desk.
He didn't even look at Lin Tong who was kneeling on the ground, and walked towards the door. Because he walked so fast, the hem of his clothes picked up a gust of wind.
When I reached the door, his cold voice came, "Go and accept the punishment yourself."
Lin Tong: “…”
Where on earth did he go wrong?
How much is the fine?
Lin Tong looked at Zhou Zhi for help, and the latter held his forehead helplessly, "I always thought that although you were shy, you were smart after all."
Lin Tong wanted to cry but had no tears.
Before today, he thought he was actually quite smart.
"Commander Zhou, I...what did I do wrong?" Lin Tong said a little aggrievedly, "I was trying to bring Miss Jiang and the master together, and I was telling the truth!"
"You're telling the truth, but why didn't you tell the whole story?" Zhou Zhi was very disappointed. "You know about the situation of the Third Princess Beisheng in the Imperial Master's Mansion, so why didn't you tell Miss Jiang?"
"Princess Third, who sent those gifts? Why didn't you tell me? And where did the Master send those gifts?"
"You don't say what you should say, but instead pick out things that shouldn't be said. What can I say about you?"
This was the first time Zhou Zhi had spoken so much nonsense, like a tongue twister, and it took Lin Tong a long time to react.
He originally wanted to let Miss Jiang know about the Third Princess's crazy behavior towards her master so that she would take quick action. However, he did not expect that he said the wrong thing and caused Miss Jiang to misunderstand him.
If the master goes there in person, the misunderstanding should be cleared up, right?
Lin Tong opened his mouth and finally asked dryly: "My master wants me to be punished, how should I be punished?"
Zhou Zhi: "..."
This question really stumped him.
Over the years, no one around the master has been punished for this reason.
*
Pei Zhanzhou, who left the Imperial Master's Mansion, headed straight for the Prime Minister's Mansion, thinking that the person had just left and he should be able to catch up soon.
But he chased all the way to the Prime Minister's Mansion, but did not see the figure he remembered, because Jiang Wansang did not go back at all.
Not long after she left the Imperial Master's Mansion, she ran into Jiang Xiaodie on the way.
The other party said mysteriously that he had something important to tell her and took her into a teahouse.
The teahouse does not have separate private rooms, but there is a screen between each table, which provides more privacy.
Perhaps because she suffered a great loss, Jiang Xiaodie has become much more reserved now. Although there is still some sadness between her brows, it is different from the previous look of forced sadness. Now she is obviously really sad.
This world values women's reputation, and Jiang Xiaodie has been saying things like "women are inferior to men" since she was a child. After saying it so many times, she has developed this idea herself.
A woman like her, who had been detained in a place like the Dali Temple for several days and was even involved in a major case, and was born out of wedlock, would not be accepted by any good family.
Even if she gets married in the future, she is afraid that she will not be able to hold her head up in her husband's family. The sadness between her brows is naturally a true expression of her feelings.
"Ugh!"
Jiang Xiaodie took a sip of tea and sighed habitually.
Jiang Wansang was in no mood to listen to her nonsense and said bluntly, "Cousin, if you have anything to say, just tell me."
Sensing her impatience, Jiang Xiaodie immediately swallowed back her habitual complaints.
Jiang Wansang was now a madman ready to strike at any moment. Not only did he have the support of the Imperial Master, but he was also close friends with Zhao Zhizhi, a member of the Dali Temple's family...
Obviously, the experience in Dali Temple during those days has become a psychological shadow for her.
Jiang Xiaodie quickly said, "Cousin, we grew up together. I was deceived before, which led to misunderstandings between us. In fact, I have always stood by you."
She laid the groundwork for herself before getting to the point: "In my eyes, you and the Seventh Prince are a match made in heaven. Jiang Zihan is just relying on her background in the underworld to give the Seventh Prince a temporary boost. I believe that in the end, the one who will be able to achieve a happy ending with the Seventh Prince will definitely be you, my cousin."
After hearing this, Jiang Wansang's originally impatient mood calmed down a little.
She looked at Jiang Xiaodie thoughtfully, "You mean Jiang Zihan and the Seventh Prince..."
Jiang Zihan and Su Huanyu are still hiding their relationship. How did Jiang Xiaodie know about it?
Jiang Xiaodie didn't notice her suspicion and said excitedly, "That's right, they've been together behind your back for a long time. I saw it with my own eyes at the banquet a few days ago!"
Jiang Wansang was not surprised that Jiang Zihan and Su Huanyu were together, but she did not expect to run into Jiang Xiaodie.
The protagonist's halo has just been slightly damaged, but the effect has already appeared?
This was good news for Jiang Wansang, and her mood improved a bit, but she didn't show it on her face. "Since you saw it a few days ago, why are you telling me now?"
Jiang Xiaodie's expression froze for a moment.
She couldn't say that she had been thinking about how to make good use of this matter, but her brain was not smart enough and she had never thought of it until she ran into Jiang Wansang on the street just now, and then she suddenly had an idea!
Jiang Xiaodie rolled her eyes subconsciously and said, "I just can't bear to see my cousin sad about this, so I'm struggling with whether to tell her or not. Think about it carefully, it wouldn't be fair to you if I kept you in the dark."
Jiang Wansang could see through her thoughts, but she didn't point them out. "Cousin, what do you think I should do?"
