The Prime Minister Seduced Me to have Babies!-Chapter 619: Making a Contribution to the Nation

Jiang Zhongxing’s face didn’t look good, "Mother, I have something to say."

The mother and son walked to the pavilion and sat down. The personal maids of the Princess stood guard from a distance. Jiang Zhongxing recounted the situation, and the Princess’s face turned livid, "That vile servant! Back then, when Wu Yaoyao was provoked to leave the mansion, I already knew she was a ruthless character."

"However, I thought the things she did might have been under the emperor’s orders, so I didn’t act against her."

"I never expected her to be so bold, daring to end your line! Vile servant! Vile servant!" The Princess angrily cursed several times.

"Fortunately, heaven left you a Youzhi; otherwise, if the Duke Mansion fell into the hands of someone as worthless as Jiang Han, I’m afraid it would quickly decline!"

A cold smile suddenly appeared on the Princess’s lips, "The Su Mansion must be involved in this matter."

"If so, then let’s take down the Su Mansion in one fell swoop!"

"I have plenty of evidence of the Su Mansion bribing officials and buying off eunuchs."

"I will select some and have Imperial Censor Liu present them to the emperor."

Jiang Zhongxing let out a long sigh. He came here, naturally, for this reason as well.

Although his mother was not in the court, with her insight, skills, and foresight, she couldn’t have failed to collect some evidence against the Su Mansion over the years.

The Princess narrowed her eyes, "The war is almost over. Daliao is barely holding on, and Jin Country has already occupied the sixteen prefectures of Youyun. They just refuse to return them to our Great Chu. The emperor plans to buy back the sixteen prefectures from Jin Country, not knowing how exorbitant Jin Country’s demands will be! Though the National Treasury is ample now, there surely won’t be enough Silver. The Su family isn’t short of money, so they can contribute to the country."

Jiang Zhongxing said, "I’m worried that news might leak and the Su family in Jiangnan will transfer the Silver away."

The Princess replied, "I will have Imperial Censor Liu remind the emperor."

"The fastest way to send news is through the Spy Department. Once they receive the message, they can command the stationed troops to seal off the entire Su Mansion."

"Rest assured, the emperor dreams of reclaiming the sixteen prefectures of Youyun, completing the unfulfilled legacy of the ancestors. He will certainly be attentive to this matter. Once he is attentive, he will surely deploy the Spy Department."

Jiang Zhongxing finally smiled, "Mother truly is a female Zhuge Liang."

The Princess cast him a sidelong glance, "I do all this for you descendants."

As she spoke, she got up and walked briskly outside, "Go to the government office and do your duty. Let Imperial Censor Liu handle this matter. Our family doesn’t need to get involved."

Jiang Zhongxing nodded, "Alright, I’ve already arranged things at the mansion before coming here. When this affair happens, I’ll deal with Aunt Su."

Jiang Zhongxing left the Princess Mansion and headed to the Military Department. He completely forgot that today was the second day of Jiang Han’s marriage, and by rights, the new daughter-in-law should serve tea and recognize relatives in the morning.

At the Duke Mansion, Jiang Han and Ling Wei stood in the courtyard of the main residence.

The weather was hot. Jiang Han wore a sheer garment, revealing his bony frame, and beside him, Ling Wei was also in a red sheer dress.

Ling Wei looked unhappy. Last night, except for pain, she felt nothing else.

This damn weather, early in the morning it was already hot, and there wasn’t a tree in front of the door, enough to bake a person alive.

The maid had gone inside to report for a long time and still hadn’t come out.

Just as they were getting irritated, the maid came out, gave a bow to the two, and said, "Madam says the Duke has gone to the government office for duty. With so few people at home, it’s not important whether to recognize relatives or not, after all, everyone already knows each other."

"Paying respects is not necessary either."

"Madam also says, with this heat, the Second Young Master and Second Young Madam shouldn’t run around, beware of heatstroke."
