Chapter 263 Departure to Southern Xinjiang
Chapter 263 Departure to Southern Xinjiang
During this period, Wang Min and Yuan Wanru were unable to sit together and have a good talk.
Wang Min took the initiative to mention Lu Wei: "I don't know if she is crazy, she can actually do such a thing."
"No matter how Jiang Nian treats her, it's a matter between them. Don't worry about it, and I won't either."
"You reap what you sow. I've come to terms with that."
Although Lu Jiangnian, the younger brother, doesn't say it, he is really good to Lu Wei.
Wang Min has seen all of this over the years, so Lu Wei's behavior is indeed disheartening.
"It's not that I'm trying to shirk responsibility. It's just that when she was little, your father and I had a conflict, and the old lady took Wei'er away in order to control me."
"I was young at the time and didn't think it through, so I just let it go. Afterwards, Wei'er became very close to the old lady."
"Her personality is somewhat influenced by her grandmother."
Speaking of this, Wang Min's eyes turned red and she looked very lonely.
Yuan Wanru didn't know what to say, and for a moment, the room was very quiet.
After a long time, Wang Min came back to her senses. She pinched the corner of her eye and said with a smile: "Okay, let's not talk about her anymore. You don't have to care about her in the future."
"As long as you and Jiang Nian are doing well, Mom will be happy."
As she spoke, she suddenly looked at Yuan Wanru seriously and said, "Don't worry, unless you are both childless by the time you are 40, I will never let a third person appear between you."
Although she and Lu Song are in love now, she sometimes feels sad when she thinks about the things that happened when they were young.
Being together for life was her original hope and also Lu Song’s promise.
But, in the end, they didn't do it.
But sometimes, people just have to be a little confused, otherwise, they won’t be able to live.
Wanru is the child she watched grow up. Why should she let her go through the same grievances she had suffered again?
Even a rational person like Yuan Wanru couldn't help but be moved by Wang Min.
She is really a sensible mother who loves her younger generations.
"Thank you, mother."
Wang Min stroked her head and said lovingly, "Silly girl, why thank me? In my heart, you are my own flesh and blood. It is my duty to love you."
Liang Shangjiong thought that this matter had been covered up.
However, Lu Jiangnian turned around and told the prince.
Anyway, since Yuan Wanru didn't tell anyone, it doesn't count as a breach of contract.
East Palace.
The prince had a puzzled look on his face. He stared at the rising smoke for a long time without saying a word.
"The Liang family is too confused."
Lu Jiangnian waited for a long time before hearing him utter these words.
He sneered, "Your Highness, this comment is too biased and not fair at all."
"A single glimpse reveals the whole picture. To be able to frame two innocent women and make them serve a useless man is such a cruel and unscrupulous act. It is not something an ordinary person can do."
"Everyone says that the eldest branch of the Liang family is kind and generous. Liang Shangjiong was oppressed by a half-brother, but for the sake of filial piety, he had no regrets and fled the capital. He is truly admirable."
"But now that I think about it, a lot of things are weird."
"Your Highness, do you still remember Liang Si?"
The prince searched his memory for a moment, "Of course I remember."
Lu Jiangnian said bluntly: "Among so many people in the Liang family, Liang Si was the most talented one, but he died."
"If the Liang family's second branch is really so domineering, how could Liang Si's death be so silent?"
At the beginning, when it was rumored that Liang Si was drowned at home, the prince felt a little sorry about it.
The prince raised his eyes and looked directly into Lu Jiangnian's dark eyes: "What do you want to say?"
Lu Jiangnian looked back at him with bright eyes: "Your Highness, the people of the Liang family may not be what we see. In short, be more careful."
The prince was silent for a moment, then smiled and said, "Everyone has selfish desires. It's understandable that they have selfish desires."
"Now it seems that they were also upset by Liang Zhi's incident. They have always been law-abiding and can correct their mistakes."
Everyone has selfish desires. No matter what, the Liang family is on the same side as the prince. As long as they don't commit crimes or violate the law, the prince won't care too much.
Lu Jiangnian remained calm and composed. "Perhaps you're right, but what I'm thinking is that the Liang family's eldest branch is usually quite good at pretending. I'm worried that they're pretending to be nice to His Highness, too."
The prince frowned, "What do you mean?"
Lu Jiangnian said with a smile, something that nearly made the Crown Prince jump up in anger: "The Second Prince has the blood of the Liang family in him. Who knows who the Liang family truly supports in their hearts?"
This sentence was clearly intended to sow discord between the Crown Prince and the Second Prince.
If the man before him was not his confidant, the prince would have had him kicked out.
"Lu Jiangnian."
He frowned angrily and shouted coldly at the man opposite him who remained calm and composed, "Do you know what you are talking about?"
Lu Jiangnian raised his eyebrows slightly: "Your Highness, I just made a reasonable guess based on the facts before my eyes. Whether you believe it or not is entirely up to you, Your Highness."
The prince didn't want to hear him talk about these things: "Alright, that's just your imagination. You can go back first."
Lu Jiangnian followed suit and stood up, "Goodbye."
Once the seeds of doubt are planted, they will always take root and sprout.
When he pours some more water, Your Highness will understand that there is no smoke without fire.
-
In the cold winter, the New Year is approaching.
This New Year was very peaceful. After the New Year, Yuan Wanru received a letter from Nanjiang County.
Lu Jiangnian told her that he had asked for leave from the emperor and sent her to Nanjiang County.
"What, you want to go to Southern Xinjiang with me?"
The sudden news shocked her. "Three or four months, what did you say about the Emperor?"
Lu Jiangnian handed her the letter written by Xuanfeng: "I told the emperor that the tokens that led to Zhao Liangfeng's death are related to the mysterious organization in southern Xinjiang. The emperor has issued a secret order, asking me to track down the clues."
"That's perfect. You can use the excuse of leaving to cover for me."
Yuan Wanru was really impressed by him. He was the one who killed Zhao Liangfeng. Even though he was dead, he still used him again and again.
But it's not bad that he can go with us.
"Okay, then we'll set off in the next two days."
Lu Jiangnian said, "I plan to leave those medicines that can suppress the poison for the Crown Prince."
"We've been away from the capital for quite some time, and I'm worried something might have happened to the Crown Prince. Although he may have had some doubts about what I told him last time, many times, the methods used to poison people are hard to guard against, so we always have to be fully prepared."
Yuan Wanru also agreed with his approach.
In short, he is responsible for arranging matters outside.
It is worth mentioning that before they left the capital, the Cao sisters were also sent back to Xu County.
The wedding date has been set for September this year. There is not much point in them staying in the capital. It would be better for them to return to their hometown in Xu County, embroider their wedding dresses and wait for the wedding. This way they can stay away from Liang Yusong.
On the day of departure, Su Shaodong almost dropped his jaw when he saw Lu Jiangnian.
"Didn't you say he wasn't going?"
