Chapter 440 Prepare for a rainy day
No bathing today.
Jiang Yunze got up very early as always.
He has always been very strict with himself.
Every morning, he would run a few laps in the courtyard to warm up before having breakfast and going to the government office.
So don't let his thin and weak appearance fool you, he's actually in very good health.
But that's strange.
He stayed in Tao Tao's courtyard every day, but she never gave birth to another child.
It's probably because I've gotten quite old.
These days I feel somewhat powerless.
But upon closer inspection, the mansion was deserted and nearly empty.
I feel a little uncomfortable about it.
Especially seeing that Qiao Jie'er is married and has children, while his three sons...
Once someone enters a Buddhist monastery, they can't be brought back, no matter how hard you try.
One of them went to the frontier by his own will, and his fate is unknown.
Now only Yan Ge'er is left.
Unfortunately, this son was the one he was least close to. He left when he was seven years old, insisting on going to Jiangzhou with his mother.
The bond between father and son was never strong to begin with.
But that little brat is just like his mother, stubborn as a mule.
When they meet on ordinary days, they avoid him like the plague, keeping a great distance from him, and it's difficult to even say a word to him.
If they want him to return to the Jiang family, they can only wait until after the imperial examinations.
The situation might change after the imperial examinations.
This kid thinks he can rise to the top just because he has the backing of the Cui, Lu, and Mu families, and he looks down on his father.
Yan knew it wouldn't all be for naught.
The Crown Prince's faction won't be able to cause trouble for much longer.
Jiang Yunze ran around the yard twice before preparing to take Miaomiao to pay her respects to the old lady.
He was completely unfamiliar with this daughter and had no affection for her whatsoever.
They never even hugged him.
Furthermore, his temperament is unknown.
I don't know why she stayed at the Jiang residence so obediently, like a rabbit, without crying or making a fuss.
Even after Qiaojie'er left, she didn't make a fuss about going back, as if this place was originally her home.
It seems he'll have to put some effort into this little girl.
Jiang Yunze summoned a maid from Miaomiao's courtyard and asked, "Is the princess awake? What are you doing?"
"He's up, and he's practicing boxing with Yan's son in the courtyard."
"Oh! What kind of boxing?"
"It's...it's a bit strange. I've never seen it before. Sometimes it's like a monkey playing, and sometimes it's like a bird flying. I can't quite put my finger on it." The maid, Zhu'er, tried hard to recall the little princess's moves.
It's kind of funny that I don't understand what it is.
She was assigned by the head of the family to serve in the princess's courtyard, but the princess brought her own people, so she couldn't get close and could only watch from afar.
She knew that the head of the family had instructed her to keep an eye on the princess and not allow her to leave the Jiang family compound.
But the young princess has been here for two days and shows no intention of leaving.
He then took the young master of the Yan family on a stroll around, exploring every nook and cranny of the Jiang residence.
He even led the horse around in the backyard.
The horse ate a lot of the flowers and plants in the backyard, but the head of the family didn't say a word to her.
Perhaps the head of the household had been staying in the study for the past two days and had not seen the devastation in the garden.
Jiang Yunze has been busy with the wedding banquet these past few days, and the two have developed a rift because of the matter of sending Tao Tao back to Jiangzhou.
Although Tao Tao verbally agreed, she was still uncomfortable inside.
I don't want to talk to him.
She didn't want to have to feign politeness and serve him before leaving.
That scoundrel of a man, go wherever you want, but better get far away from her and don't hinder her from transferring her valuables.
Jiang Yunze was very pleased; the little girl adapted quite quickly.
As expected of his daughter, they have the same lifestyle habits; she even knows to go for morning exercise early.
It doesn't matter what kind of boxing you practice, as long as you can get up early. We also need to put the four arts for women on the agenda.
With such beauty, this young girl must be nurtured into a renowned talent in the capital.
Jiang Yunze washed his face and tidied himself up before instructing the maid, "Go and bring Xiao Shu and Miao Miao here. I'll take them to pay their respects to the old lady."
Miao Miao had already finished breakfast and was discussing countermeasures with Yan Cheng'an.
"Brother An, I'll distract Jiang Yunze for a bit. You and Liu Yun can sneak into our scumbag father's study and see if you can find anything."
During this time, have Qiuqiu keep an eye on Jiang Yunze.
They discovered that he had been as close as the Left Chancellor and frequently visited the Yan residence.
Not only Jiang Yunze went, but many court officials also went, and Prince Chen would occasionally go as well.
Moreover, they went there after dark, and we don't know what they were plotting.
The Left Prime Minister was quite wary; they always talked in a private room. Despite her best efforts, Qiuqiu couldn't hear what they were saying.
When ministers associate too closely with each other, isn't that forming cliques for personal gain?
They still formed a faction with the princes.
just in case……
What if Prince Chen were to rebel, and still win in the end?
That's it!
Their entire family was wiped out.
The Empress's maternal grandmother, the Crown Prince's maternal uncle, the princess, Prince Jing's maternal uncle and aunt, the Mu family, the Lu family...
Prince Chen will definitely not let them go.
They can just accuse someone of any crime.
I'm afraid everyone will end up in prison, and their entire clan might even be wiped out.
Given Prince Chen's twisted psychology, it's really hard to say.
They finally recognized their parents, and the whole family had just reunited; they couldn't just fall apart like this.
First, we need to find some clues to know what these people are plotting and whether they have any plans to take action.
It's good to be prepared for a rainy day.
Yan Cheng'an patted his chest and assured him, "Don't worry, leave it to me, I guarantee I'll get it done for you."
This is a very serious matter.
If he can find any evidence or letters, he will have done a great service.
His parents will definitely look at him with new respect then.
Liu Yun crossed his arms and looked at Yan Cheng'an with a half-smile, almost wanting to laugh.
This silly boy doesn't even know he's been sold out.
It seems his father never taught him that the prettier a woman is, the less you can trust what she says.
He put his arm around Yan Cheng'an's shoulder and said with a look of sympathy, "Young master, I'll cover for you."
After getting ready, Miao Miao prepared to go out to find Jiang Yunze, having heard that he was off work today.
She had just stepped outside when she encountered her maid who had come looking for her.
She should be sent to pay her respects to the old lady.
She remembered that the old lady was greedy and stingy; if she saw something she liked, she could see it but not eat it.
I wonder if she'll be furious.
The little girl raised an eyebrow, an idea forming in her mind: "Xi'er, help me put on the gold necklace and gold-inlaid gemstones bestowed upon me by the Emperor."
