Chapter 508 Buddha Statue
Young Master Qi sat beside the little girl, using his fan to gently drive away her boredom before the rain.
"The Prime Minister's Mansion is acting like this now, and it's so aggressive. Minister Song will definitely not let it go..."
"If there is no other movement in the next one or two days, I am afraid they will make trouble at the family banquet in the palace."
With the two ladies of the Xie family in the imperial city, it would be easy to do anything.
Jiang An half closed his eyes, picked up a fruit from the small table and put it into his mouth.
"I have just sent someone to the princess's residence to report the news. I think my aunt will be prepared."
"None of this matters..."
The little girl tilted her head and gave Qi Shanyuan a wicked smile, "I'll have to trouble Yuanyuan to prepare a generous gift for me."
Qi Shanyuan had been with the little girl for many years, and he understood what she wanted to do in a blink of an eye...
The prince was injured, and Xie Yunshan was even more seriously injured.
With her personality, if she were in the North... she would have come to kill us with a sword in hand!
Now it concerns the country and the people. I can't kill him but I can still come and make a scene, just to get my revenge!
The elegant young man said helplessly, "Imported items cannot be given as gifts. There are many ornaments and treasures in the storeroom of the mansion. I will sort some out."
Old Tutor Xie is suffering from a strange illness to begin with, so in order to prevent someone from framing him behind his back, it is better not to send him anything imported.
"It's up to you. It's up to you~"
Jiang An was smiling, but there was no sense of relief in his eyes.
After Qi Shanyuan left the house, the smile on the little girl's face fell.
She just sat there in the quiet room, staring at the closed window with her round eyes, not knowing what she was thinking.
About half an hour later, Niangniang and Zhengyan, who were going to the princess's mansion, came into the house at the same time to answer.
Nianniang pushed aside the bead curtain and entered the inner room. She pursed her lips when she saw the uneasy look on the little girl's face.
She walked forward quietly and took the fruit that was in the young lady's hand that was crumpled beyond recognition.
"I have already told the princess everything the young lady said..."
"The princess said that the autumn examination is getting closer, and Master Song has been staying at the Ministry of Personnel for several days in a row."
The six ministries are all close to the inner palace of the imperial city. Akabane patrols them day and night. No outsiders are allowed to enter the Ministry of Personnel, so there is no need to worry too much about their safety.
Jiang An didn't come back to her senses until this moment. She stretched her aching bones and pulled a smile from the corner of her lips, "I hope so."
She looked at Zheng Yan who was standing outside, "But has Yuan Yuan prepared everything?"
"Yes."
Zhengyan replied, "All the stuff has been loaded onto the truck and is waiting at the door."
"Let's go!"
Jiang An led his men and walked out with big strides, a cold look on his face.
At the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion,
The door of Zhu Hong's mansion was closed, and only a steward came out to reply to Jiang An outside the door.
The steward was quite respectful. He just said that there were a lot of things to do in the mansion and the master really couldn't spare the time, so he closed the door and refused visitors. He hoped that the county lady would not blame him.
Nianniang looked at him unkindly, "The county lady knows that there are many things going on in the Prime Minister's Mansion right now, but we are not here to take advantage of you."
"The county lady is such a precious person. When she heard that something happened in your house, she came with a visiting card and gifts. Your house didn't even have a cup of tea. How could they just turn her away like this?"
Faced with the maid's questioning, the steward broke out in a cold sweat.
It is certainly not the right thing to do to turn people away like this. This street is inhabited by high-ranking officials and dignitaries. If someone sees this... it would be really embarrassing!
The steward bowed repeatedly and said, "Please wait a little longer, my lady. I will ask for your instructions."
There was a flash of annoyance in Jiang An's eyes...
She wasn't really here to visit, so why should she follow the rules?
The little girl walked forward on her own and took the lead over the steward to block the half-open door.
"Why don't I go and ask with this steward? It will be quicker~"
"Ah? This... this is against the rules... County Lady!"
Jiang An exerted force on his hands, and the edge of the door suddenly dented, and it wobbled and opened...
"Now that the door is open, let's move in."
She lifted her robe and rushed in with her men.
The front hall of the Prime Minister's Mansion,
Xie Si came hurriedly, with some anger still on his face.
"My house is closed, why did the county lady force her way in?"
"Even if you are the title of county lady bestowed by the emperor, I, Xie, will sue you in the court!"
Looking at his hypocritical face, Jiang An felt like he was about to vomit his overnight meal...
She sat in the first seat with a carefree expression and smiled contemptuously, "That's not right, Prime Minister. Old Master Xie is a figure that all the scholars and students in Nanshang University should regard as their teacher."
"As the princess of a county and a descendant of the royal family, there's nothing wrong with me coming to visit you. Look, I've brought all these gifts!"
"Moreover…"
She said unreasonably, "It was clearly your housekeeper who opened the door for me, how can you say you are trespassing?"
Xie Si glanced at the objects piled in the courtyard and immediately saw the jade Buddha sitting on top of many wooden boxes.
The material of the jade Buddha is of standard quality, but the carving is lifelike, truly capturing the mood of the Buddha saving all living beings.
But... it's really a bit of a waste to give this thing to Shays!
"you…!"
Xie Si took a half step back, as if he was so angry that he couldn't catch his breath.
"Jiang An, don't go too far!"
His father was already seriously ill, and this little girl even brought him a Buddha statue.
Is this a wish for his father to be reborn in paradise soon? ?
When the Prime Minister's wife heard her husband calling the county lady by her name, she immediately ordered her trusted men to disperse the servants waiting in the front hall.
Jiang An didn't even frown, he just said calmly: "What is the Prime Minister doing~"
She feels quite aggrieved!
She had just seen this Buddha statue. Yuanyuan's move was ruthless enough. She liked it!
"I have always been good friends with Xie Yunshan. Now his grandfather is ill, and he is stationed at the border for His Majesty and cannot return to the capital. As a friend, I naturally have to visit him on his behalf."
"When I get back, I can also write a letter to tell him about the situation at home so that he can feel at ease."
"Maybe the Prime Minister's wife doesn't know yet..."
Jiang An looked at Xie Si and peeled off his face bit by bit.
The Prime Minister's wife felt a little uneasy and murmured, "Know what?"
She looked at her husband with doubt in her eyes.
What did he do?
Under Xie Si's flickering gaze, Jiang An said, "I received a letter from Beidi saying that General Xie was seriously injured by a dozen bandits while trying to save a man on the outskirts of the city."
"When he was carried back to the city, he was covered in blood and only had one breath left!"
There was a clang sound as the lady's legs went weak and she fell backwards, knocking over the teacup on the small table.
She fell to the ground, grabbing Shays' sleeve with one hand, as if she was grabbing at her last straw.
That’s obviously not what I said… That’s obviously not what I said!
"you you…!"
There were tears in the eyes of the Prime Minister's wife, which dripped down, but she was forced by Xie Si's eyes and dared not say anything.
Xie Si asked Jiang An in a cold voice, "May I ask, county lady, who did my son save? But he was passing through the north..."
"Of course they are the people of the North! The people of the Southern Merchants!" Jiang An interrupted harshly.
She clenched her fists and smashed the small table beside her in anger.
Amid the Prime Minister's wife's screams, wood chips flew all over the hall.
Even Xie Si was shocked by Jiang An's action, and a flash of fear appeared in his eyes.
"I also heard..."
The little girl dignifiedly brushed off the sawdust on her hands. In her rage, she was like a ferocious beast with its claws bared, crawling on the ground... ready to deliver a fatal blow to its prey!
"An assassin in the North stabbed my father."
"Prime Minister, do you know what happens to assassins and spies in the North?"
She stood up from her chair and walked slowly towards Shays.
As he walked, he said in a deep voice: "Skin them and pull out their tendons... Then throw them into the manure pond alive and drown them, so that they can be used as fertilizer for the fields!"
Beidi Liangtian: This is the worst time I have ever been slandered. Ugh~
