Scheme of the Official Descendant

Jiang Xiniang smiled wryly when she heard the words: "Of course we also have this idea, but the location of the land is very good, and it is useful for the other party to buy it, and they are not willing to give it up easily. The Jiang family has invested a lot in these shops, and they can't get it out for the time being. If more money comes to buy the land back, we can only stand in a stalemate like this. It’s just that the other party can afford it, but we can’t afford it.”

Ren Yaoqi smiled, took a sip of tea, and waited for Jiang Xiniang to explain her intentions.

Sure enough, Jiang Xiniang said next, "Actually, we came to see Young Madam today because of an unfeeling request."

Ren Yaoqi raised her eyebrows slightly.

"The surname of the Jiang family that competes with our Jiang family is Gao." Jiang Qianniang looked at Ren Yaoqi and said.

Ren Yaoqi thought for a while: "It seems that there is no one with the surname Gao among the famous families in Shunzhou?"

Jiang Xiniang nodded: "Yes, young lady, let alone you, the Gao family has never even heard of us in Shunzhou before, but about a month ago the Gao family robbed the Han family of a large sum of money." Grain and oil business. My father originally wanted to visit the head of the Gao family to discuss the matter of the land, but he didn't meet anyone."

Ren Yaoqi smiled apologetically: "I'm afraid I can't help you with Shunzhou's affairs."

Jiang Xiniang hurriedly said: "Young Madam, I heard that the Gao family has some relationship with the Lei family, but we sent several letters to the Lei family before, but the head of the Lei family didn't reply. I heard that the head of the Lei family has gone out recently and is not in Yunyang City. , Mrs. Lei doesn't see outsiders either."

Ren Yaoqi smiled and said: "My sister is not feeling well these days, maybe she will bring her two children to live in Zhuangzi."

Jiang Xiniang looked at Ren Yaoqi and asked tentatively, "Then I wonder if Young Madam can pass a message to Lei's family?"

At this moment, Apple, who had already combed his wife's hair, hurried in from outside, and reported to Ren Yaoqi in a low voice: "Young Madam, the princess asked Mother Xin to ask you, what is the gift list sent by Jinzhou last month? Not with you..."

Ren Yaoqi nodded, let Apple back down first, and then said with a smile: "I will ask someone to ask about the matter you just said. I still have some things to deal with, so I will excuse you first. Miss Jiang Since you have come to Yunyang City, why don't you stay and play for a few more days, speaking of which, you still have some fate with this Yunyang City."

Jiang Xiniang and Jiang Shi looked at each other. Jiang Xiniang was about to say something, but she swallowed it after a pause, stood up with Jiang Shi, and said with a smile: "I plan to stay for a few more days. There are many places in Yunyang City I haven't been there yet. Then thank you, Young Madam, I will go back and wait for your news."

Ren Yaoqi smiled and served tea, Jiang Xiniang and Jiang Shi left.

After they left, Ren Yaoqi did not go to Jiuyang Hall, but returned to Zhaoning Hall, and just stepped into the threshold when she saw Xiao Jingxi sitting on the soft bed between the east and the west, flipping through a book, and heard a voice looking up at Ren Yaoqi He smiled and said, "Come back so soon?"

Ren Yaoqi walked up to him and sat down, and seeing that he was holding a book on planting and pruning huā flowers, she took it and flipped through it, jokingly said: "It's just a garden. Are you planning to do it yourself? "

Xiao Jingxi leaned over, put his arms around Ren Yaoqi's waist, and rested his chin on her shoulder: "Every plant and tree in Zhaoning Palace was done by myself, don't you know?"

Ren Yaoqi was stunned when she heard the words, then she tilted her head in surprise and said, "So you have to repair the small garden in Zhaoning Hall yourself? You know how to do this?"

The omnipotent Second Young Master Xiao said confidently: "I still don't know how to do it yet, am I not learning?"

Ren Yaoqi: ""

Xiao Jingxi took back the book in Ren Yaoqi's hand. He smiled and asked her: "That Miss Jiang Liu came to you just now because of the affairs of the Jiang family?"

Ren Yaoqi is no stranger to her husband's omniscience: "Do you know everything about the Jiang family?"

Xiao Jingxi thought for a while, then smiled and said: "I don't know all of them, I only know that you made the Jiang family have to take the initiative to come to the door, it's just that your ulterior motives are not in drinking, and the real goal is not to be far away. The Jiang family in Jiangzhou, but the Han family that is related to the Jiang family?"

Ren Yaoqi sighed, looked sideways at Xiao Jingxi and said, "Doesn't that mean you know everything?"

Xiao Jingxi smiled, rolled up the book in his hand and tapped Ren Yaoqi's head lightly: "It's the Yun family, the Jiang family, and those families that have business dealings with the Han family have all suffered a lot these days." It's a disaster, this situation is quite big. Are you trying to isolate the Han family? I said I don't know everything, because I don't understand that if you want to deal with the Han family, you don't need to go to such trouble. , to kill with one blow, don't give the enemy any chance to fight back. You are still too soft-hearted."

Ren Yaoqi patted Xiao Jingxi's hand away, and straightened her messed up hair: "I'm not merciful, but I just think it's unnecessary. I don't have any personal grudges with the Han family, so why not give people a way to survive. As for the Han family and Ren You know what happened to the family's grievances. The Ren family is in debt and should pay it back. It's just that it's time for the Han family to stop. I'm just reminding them, and the consequences can't be dealt with. , it's not good for anyone."

Xiao Jingxi stretched out his hand to smooth Ren Yaoqi's temple hair, and shook his head: "It's still kind and soft."

Ren Yaoqi was noncommittal about Xiao Jingxi's evaluation. She and the Han family really didn't have a dead end. Except for the stubborn Han Dongshan, the rest of the Han family were normal people, and she had no ill feeling towards them.

What's more, the existence of the Han family is also indispensable if the Lei family and the Lin family are to be kept. If there is no alliance between the Han family and the Yun family, the Yun family will definitely lose to the Lei family in a few years, and it may not be a good thing for the Lei family to dominate at that time.

Mu Xiu Yu Linfeng will destroy it, so it is not a good thing for the long-term development of the Yanbei Palace or the Lei family. Yanbei does not need a dominant family, it only needs a balance of power between the families, so that Yanbei can enjoy long-term stability.

In many cases, the existence of an evenly matched enemy is the best protection. It is a balance for those below, and a check and balance for those above.

King Yanbei and Princess Yanbei understood this truth, Xiao Jingxi understood it, and so did Ren Yaoqi. Otherwise, just relying on Concubine Yun's face, the Yanbei Palace would not tolerate the Yun family so much. It's just that there is a limit to this tolerance now, so the Lei family can take advantage of the trend and gradually show the momentum of fighting against the Yun family.

Ren Yaoqi didn't want the Lei family to face the same situation as the Yun family in the future, so leaving the Han family as a precaution.

"Speaking of which, Miss Jiang Jialiu is really a smart person." Ren Yaoqi finally sighed.

Xiao Jingxi joked with a smile: "No matter how smart she is, she still has to follow the path you give her, so Ma'am, are you praising yourself?"

Ren Yaoqi gave him a blank look, and retorted: "No, I'm just complimenting you. No matter how I plan, won't you be able to guess it in the end? So I'm still not as good as you."

Xiao Jingxi didn't argue with Ren Yaoqi either. The Second Young Master Xiao deeply understood a truth that no matter how smart a woman is, she often can't argue with her, so he asked: "Then what are you going to do next?"

Ren Yaoqi pursed her lips and smiled: "Guess?"

Seeing Ren Yaoqi's delicate appearance, Xiao Jingxi couldn't help reaching out and pinching her face, before Ren Yaoqi reacted and wanted to resist, he said something to divert her attention: "If I am, I will wait for the Han family to come to the door. Come on, drunkards don’t want to drink anyway, the Jiang family is just a guide, since they are so knowledgeable this time, they will benefit from them in the future.”

Ren Yaoqi and Xiao Jingxi were talking to each other here, and there was also a conversation between Jiang Xiniang and Jiang Shi and other carriages after they left Yanbei Palace.

As soon as the carriage turned into the main street, Jiang Xiniang let out a heavy breath and relaxed.

Jiang Shi was a little surprised and said: "You were nervous just now? I saw that you were very calm all the time, so I thought..."

Jiang Xiniang shook her head with a wry smile when she heard the words, and didn't speak, she just stretched out her hand and shook Jiang's.

Jiang Shi felt that the palm she held with her was very wet, covered with a layer of sweat, so she couldn't help laughing, took out a handkerchief and stuffed it into Jiang Xiniang's hand: "Do you think this thing can be done?"

Jiang Xiniang wiped her hands and said with a smile, "I was 40% sure before I came here, but now I'm at least 70% sure."

Jiang couldn't help being surprised and said: "So it's done?"

Jiang Xiniang thought for a while, but shook her head: "There are still 30% variables."

"Where is the variable?" Jiang asked.

Jiang Xiniang glanced at Mrs. Jiang, and said slowly, "It's from the Han family."

Jiang Shi was taken aback.

Jiang Xiniang sighed, and said with a wry smile: "Although we are here today to ask that young lady for help, it is actually just a formality. I think the reason why the Jiang family encountered this kind of thing is just a disaster. As long as that Once the goal is achieved, the Jiang family's problems will naturally be solved."

Mrs. Jiang remembered what Jiang Xiniang had said to her before, and she was silent for a while before saying, "If that person's target is really the Han family, isn't the Han family very dangerous?"

It wasn't long before Jiang married into the Han family, and she didn't have a deep relationship with Master Han, but she is now the daughter-in-law of the Han family, and the life and death of the Han family is also related to her own destiny.

Jiang Xiniang thought for a while, then comforted Jiang and said, "That may not be the case, otherwise I wouldn't be making such a big circle. I think as long as the Han family clearly understands their position, everything should be fine. Besides, you went with me today The Yanbei Palace can be regarded as a statement for itself, and even if something happens to the Han family in the future, it will not be blamed on you."

Jiang sighed: "I hope so. But how do you know this?"

Jiang Xiniang paused before sighing: "Actually, after my father failed to see the head of the Gao family last time, my mother and I ran into Mrs. Gao once when we went to burn incense in the temple. I went up to chat with her, and she He said a few inexplicable words to me, but I didn't understand them at the time, and after I went back, I thought for a long time before I finally figured it out."
