Chapter 279 Dissatisfaction
Jiang Zhu was a little unhappy after hearing this, "Jiang Zhan is a smiling tiger, Ru'er should be more restrained and practice his skills well. This is the right way."
After all, they are leaving in the early spring and there is no one to hold them back. Besides, Jiang Zhan is the favorite son of King Yan, and Jiang Ru cannot make enemies everywhere.
"Sometimes, if you make too much noise, it will leave a handle for you, making people feel more sympathetic to Jiang Zhan."
What Jiang Zhu said were all his real experiences, and Changbo also knew it.
"Yes, even though I reminded him, the Second Young Master still didn't listen to me. If you really want him to change, I'm afraid the general should step in."
Changbo lowered his head in frustration, tears gradually appearing in his eyes.
"I told him not to be sad. The Nalan family will be rehabilitated one day, and your identities will be restored. The Nalan family name is a glory, not a shackle."
The identities of Changbo and Changhe are known to the Princess of Yan's family, but Jiang Lan and Jiang Ru don't like them very much and don't consider them as blood relatives at all.
Jiang Zhu was not good at comforting people, so he changed the subject after a few words. "By the way, how was your aunt before you came over? I was a little busy these past two days and didn't have time to ask you."
Ever since Jiang Zhu's affairs were handed over to Jiang Chi, he has been guiding his sister these days.
Jiang Chi left home when she was young. The environment she lived in was very simple, without so much intrigue.
It was because of her sudden appearance on this side of the border that the people who had been hiding in the past gradually revealed themselves.
As for the King of Yan, he never let him go from the beginning to the end.
By now, Jiang Zhu was even more worried about the situation of Princess Yan.
Chang Bo thought about it, his face a little strange, "The princess used to think highly of the prince, but suddenly she found that the prince was not wholeheartedly devoted to her, and she fell ill for a few days."
"Ill?" Jiang Zhu seemed to be thinking, "What did my aunt do again? She's not really ill, is she?"
"It's not a real illness, but the princess has changed very quickly. The prince is now running to her very attentively."
Changbo saw it when he was at the palace and was a little surprised.
When they were in love, Princess Yan was obviously the one who gave more.
The situation now is completely the opposite.
"On the day we returned safely to Yanzhou, the plum trees in the princess's yard were replaced with osmanthus trees. Before we came here, the prince was still searching for plum trees with beautiful shapes throughout Yanzhou."
"It's just a superficial effort! Auntie has been deceived for nearly twenty years. If he continues to do this, Auntie will not be fooled."
Jiang Zhu was not worried. When he went back a few days ago, the Princess of Yan had already recognized the situation.
"General, what you said is correct. The princess took advantage of the few days when she pretended to be sick to have all the dowry counted."
Changbo thought of what happened that day and sighed deeply.
"That concubine Hua is said to be from a noble family, but when she followed the prince, she had no dowry."
Before Jiang Zhan came here, Prince Yan promoted Hua Guiqing to be his concubine, just to make the brothers look better.
"By the way, before we came here, the prince said that if Jiang Zhan makes meritorious contributions, Concubine Hua will be promoted to concubine."
Chang Bo thought of this and asked, "General, how about keeping Jiang Zhan out of the way for a few days and not letting him be the vanguard after two days?"
Jiang Zhan’s identity is different. When he goes to the battlefield, he will not lack guards around him.
On the way, Changbo looked down on this man.
Jiang Zhan was polite to everyone among them, and from time to time he would ask about the situation at the post station that day.
Changbo had never liked this man in the first place, and seeing him like this, he became even more wary of him.
Bai Jingzhi had poisoned them, and Jiang Zhan wanted to bribe them, so they would not tell anyone about those things.
When Changbo mentioned this, Jiang Zhu couldn't help but speak, "Don't worry about the poison. Miss Bai is not a bloodthirsty person. Don't tell anyone about her situation."
"I know! We were able to escape unscathed this time. Although I didn't see the situation at the time, it would have been very difficult for us to survive that situation."
Chang Bo mentioned this with some reluctance in his tone, "I didn't expect the prince to be so cruel that he could be so cruel to his wife and children."
"We still need to send more people to my aunt's side." Jiang Zhu became worried again after hearing what happened that day.
Apart from his sister, Princess Yan is the person closest to him, and he always has to protect her.
"General, that's not necessary. Some people from the Nalan family have come and can protect the princess and the prince."
Before Changbo came here, he met with people from the Nalan family.
They are not members of the Nalan clan, but only the remnants of the Nalan clan.
He has been hiding in the dark these years, waiting for his chance to strike.
"It's good that the Nalan family's forces have gone to Yanzhou. I hope my aunt will proceed steadily and slowly control Yanzhou in the hands of mother and son."
Jiang Zhu was not wearing a mask. His handsome face was angular, but it looked a little softer under the yellow candlelight.
"How did you deal with my aunt's dowry?"
"The princess's dowry originally had 128 loads of luggage, but now only 96 are left."
Jiang Zhu tilted his head and frowned, "So much is missing, didn't your aunt notice it all these years?"
"When the princess and the prince were in love, they didn't pay attention to these things! Besides, the wet nurse was sent to the small kitchen, and no one reminded the princess of these things."
Chang Bo gritted his teeth when he mentioned this, "If my Nalan clan were still alive, how could the prince dare to do this!"
"Don't talk about the past anymore. Nalan's case cannot be overturned anytime soon. You should be careful in your daily life and don't let outsiders know your identity."
Jiang Zhu reminded him twice and asked:
"Who did this with the dowry? Is there someone betraying the family? Or is it the prince's side..."
Changbo understood the unspoken meaning immediately and shook his head:
"It's not clear whether it was the prince or not. Anyway, the housekeeper came out to admit his guilt, but it's not clear what happened to the lost dowry. When we came, there was no explanation."
Only the parties involved know the specific situation.
"This time, my aunt won't be deceived again, so that's a good thing."
As long as the Princess of Yan can stand on her own feet, she won't be bullied after they leave.
"You should hurry up and train Ru'er ruthlessly. He is most easily instigated. It is better for him to stay here and let Chi'er take care of him. Auntie can also feel at ease."
Jiang Zhu was worried about his little cousin, who had a quick temper and was easily influenced by others.
"Since he found out about Aunt Hua's situation, he has become more sensible and no longer procrastinates or complains about the hard work."
After Changbo came back, he took over Jiang Ru and was responsible for his training and protection.
"He is just not convinced by Jiang Zhan now and always wants to compete with him. But I see that Jiang Zhan seems to be holding back and has not used his full strength."
"It's a good thing that he's not convinced! He knows the gap and knows how to work hard. If he slacks off, he will use Jiang Zhan as a whetstone. We don't have time. We have to go back to Yuzhou in three or four months."
Jiang Zhu didn't dislike this little cousin and was willing to do something for him.
"Got it. I'll pay attention. General, are you curious about Miss Bai?" Changbo held it in for a long time before asking.
