Chapter 743: Chapter 665, As One Wave Settles, Another Rises_1

The Yuan Family’s Mid-Autumn Festival banquet ended abruptly due to the arrest of Advisor Jiang.

Every household left in a rush without even having dinner.

The incident today involved both the Jiang Family and the Eight Princes; nobody wanted to draw trouble onto themselves.

At the gate of the Yuan Residence, carriages from various households left in an orderly manner, everyone was very quiet, and no one talked.

Master Su and Yan Zhigao exchanged glances silently and then left with their families respectively.

Su Residence.

As soon as Master Su returned, he went to Old Master Su and reported what had happened at the Yuan Family’s banquet.

Old Master Su fell silent for a moment, then smiled meaningfully, "The Provincial Governor Yuan arresting Advisor Jiang... Killing two birds with one stone! Regardless of the reason, the Yuan and Jiang families are now pitted against each other."

Master Su, "Father, who do you think did it?"

A gleam flashed in Old Master Su’s eyes, and his mind involuntarily thought of the Yan Family.

But did the Yan Family have the capability?

Not to mention anything else, the jadeite dragon knob seal wasn’t something the Yan Family could obtain.

"Don’t worry about it too much, just make sure to take good care of the Su Family. Whether it’s the Jiang Family or the Eight Princes, our family mustn’t get involved at all."

Li Residence.

After Daohua and her entourage returned, they actually had a jolly reunion dinner with the Li Family.

Whether the Jiang Family got entangled with the party of the Eight Princes, or the Yuan Family was forced to confront the Jiang Family, it was all good news for the Yan Family.

After the meal, Yan Zhigao and Madam Li returned to the guest courtyard together.

Madam Li passed a damp towel to Yan Zhigao to wipe his face.

Yan Zhigao quickly wiped his face twice and then handed the towel back to Madam Li. He hesitated for a moment before asking, "What has Daohua been up to these days?"

Madam Li was startled, "She hasn’t been doing much, just staying with her mother."

Yan Zhigao nodded and took a sip of tea, but his mind was on the events that had occurred at the Yuan Residence today.

For some reason, he kept feeling that today’s events had something to do with that girl Daohua.

Xiao Yeyang must have left some men for Daohua, right?

Otherwise, the missing military provisions could not have been retrieved so smoothly.

If today’s events were indeed orchestrated by his daughter, then he truly needed to see her in a new light.

To openly point out during the Yuan Family’s banquet that Advisor Jiang was involved with the Eight Princes—with so many officials watching, and their backers’ intertwined influences—Provincial Governor Yuan wouldn’t have been able to suppress it even if he wanted to and could only arrest Advisor Jiang personally.

The Empress Dowager and the Imperial Palace, already somewhat displeased with the Virtuous Consort who had produced five princes and two princesses, would see Yuan’s and Jiang’s relationship turn even more tense as a result.

Madam Li looked at Yan Zhigao as he furrowed his brows in thought and asked, "What are you thinking about, my lord?"

Yan Zhigao smiled, "I’m thinking about our daughter. I was worried before that she wouldn’t be able to handle the intricate relationships after marrying into the Imperial Family, but judging from the incident of the missing military provisions, our daughter is quite capable, which is quite reassuring for me."

Madam Li smiled, looking proud, "Of course. When you were in trouble before, so many people were at home, but only our daughter was able to stand up and take charge."

After speaking, she paused.

"Will Advisor Jiang face consequences this time?"

Yan Zhigao fell silent for a moment, "It depends on what the Emperor thinks. The token of the Eight Princes fell from Advisor Jiang’s embrace; even if he’s branded as a member of the Eight Princes Party, no one will say anything."

Madam Li, "I hope the Emperor will revoke Advisor Jiang’s position. Otherwise, if he stays in Zhongzhou, he will definitely cause more trouble for our family."

Yan Zhigao did not respond. The Northern Frontier was still in stalemate with the Eight Princes, and it wasn’t sure that the Emperor would choose this moment to strike against the Jiang Family.

The next day, Yan Zhigao set sail with his family back to Ningmen Prefecture.

Meanwhile, at the Governor’s Office, Advisor Jiang, shackled in handcuffs and fetters, was escorted onto a prison cart. After discussing with his staff, Provincial Governor Yuan felt it was best to send Advisor Jiang to the capital as soon as possible.

Advisor Jiang looked coldly at Provincial Governor Yuan, his eyes filled with murderous intent.

He had been careless this time, assuming the Yuan Family wouldn’t dare confront the Jiang Family. Remembering the Yuan Family’s maid who had jostled him the day before, the chill in Advisor Jiang’s eyes intensified.

The jadeite dragon knob seal...

This must be what the maid put on herself.

The Provincial Governor Yuan noticed the look in Advisor Jiang’s eyes, frowned displeasedly, and knew clearly that the Yuan Family and the Jiang Family had now become enemies.

Damn it, don’t let him figure out who’s plotting against him!

On the surface, this incident seemed to be directed at Advisor Jiang, but behind the scenes, they also had him in their calculation.

He could already imagine how infuriated the old master at home would be when he learned of this.

Outside the doors of the Governor’s Office, Madam Jiang and Jiang Wanying hurriedly approached upon seeing Advisor Jiang being escorted out.

"My lord... how dare they treat you this way?"

Seeing Advisor Jiang with handcuffs and shackles, Madam Jiang and Jiang Wanying looked both distressed and angry.

Advisor Jiang said quickly, "Although it’s quite obvious I’ve been set up, the emperor might not believe it. Even if the Empress Dowager and the Empress plead on my behalf, it’s certain that I’ll lose my position. You must hurry home, pack your things, and then head back to the capital."

Leaving his wife and daughter here was something he was extremely worried about, ever since he had refused to cooperate with the Eight Princes Party again and killed the younger brother-in-law of the Eighth Prince, the Eighth Prince had borne a grudge against him.

This time he was set up, and he even suspected it was the work of the Eighth Prince’s people.

After all, the jade dragon seal was the Eighth Prince’s token, which outsiders could not touch.

Madam Jiang, realizing the gravity of the situation, hurriedly nodded, "Rest assured, my lord, I’ll go back and pack immediately, and follow behind your carriage to the capital."

Advisor Jiang shook his head, "No, don’t come with me. You take the water route. The land journey would be too hard for Wanying with her frail health."

"But..."

Advisor Jiang interrupted Madam Jiang, "No ’buts’. Do as I say."

Provincial Governor Yuan was sending the jade dragon seal along with him to the capital, and he was concerned that the Eight Princes’ people might come after it.

Others might not know, but he was very clear on how much the Eighth Prince valued the jade dragon seal.

Left with no choice, Madam Jiang had to nod in agreement.

Soon, Advisor Jiang was taken away.

Watching her husband in the prison cart, Madam Jiang clenched her teeth in hatred. Only after the prison cart disappeared from sight did she grit her teeth and say, "Let’s go, we’ll go home and pack."

Jiang Wanying helped Madam Jiang into the carriage, and as she got in, she saw Madam Guo and her daughter in a nearby carriage, looking gleefully at them.

"Mother, wait for me a moment. I want to say a few words to Guo Xueming."

Madam Jiang looked at her daughter and didn’t stop her.

As Jiang Wanying approached, Madam Guo and Guo Xueming didn’t alight from their carriage but instead sat high in their vehicle, looking down at Jiang Wanying standing outside.

"Do not be too sad, my princess. Speaking of your father, the emperor has been so good to the Jiang Family. How did he get involved with the Eighth Prince?"

Madam Guo looked at Jiang Wanying with feigned sympathy.

Jiang Wanying suppressed her annoyance, her hand clenched into a fist at her side. She took a deep breath, smiling at Madam Guo and her daughter, "Mother and I will return to the capital. Before we leave, there is something I’d like to discuss with Miss Guo."

Guo Xueming furrowed her brows, "What do you want to talk about, my princess?"

Jiang Wanying’s smile widened slightly, "Do you know why Brother Yang has been so cold towards both you and me?"

Guo Xueming’s eyes flickered, "What are you suggesting?"

Jiang Wanying said with a smile, "Because Brother Yang has someone he fancies, naturally he can see neither you nor me. Would you like to know who has captured Brother Yang’s heart?"

"Who is it?"

Before Guo Xueming could speak, Madam Guo eagerly asked.

Jiang Wanying laughed, "It’s the eldest Miss Yan. Last year, I personally saw Brother Yang walking intimately with her, the smile on his face was something I’ve never seen before."

Guo Xueming and Madam Guo frowned at the same time.

Seeing their reactions, Jiang Wanying’s smile deepened, and without saying more, she turned to leave.

Watching her retreating figure, Madam Guo frowned and asked, "Do you think what she said is true?"

Guo Xueming pondered for a moment, "It should be true, because I also felt that my cousin looked at Miss Yan differently." She then showed a look of dejection, "No wonder I could never catch my cousin’s eye; he already had his heart set on someone else."

Madam Guo snorted coldly, "I always thought Miss Yan was too seductive. It turns out I was right."
