Chapter 185 Calling for Help
Whether Zhao Xifang is angry or sad, or Song Yirou is gloating about his misfortune, it has nothing to do with Jiang Changning.
The nineteenth day of the twelfth lunar month was Jiang Changning's birthday, and Liu Zhen personally sent a birthday gift the day before.
It's not that Zhuang Qingyu couldn't come because of her entrustment, it's that she was pregnant again and it was snowing and the roads were slippery, making it difficult to come.
It happened that the King of Jin was at home, so he met Liu Zhen.
I don’t know what the two talked about, but during lunch, King Jin said, “He is a smart man.”
Jiang Changning curled his lips and said: "If you are not a businessman, you are not smart, how can your business be so big?"
After a while, Jiang Changning asked: "Do you want to use him?"
"The smartest one is my Ningning." King Jin said with a smile.
Jiang Changning raised his eyebrows, "He really needs to use it. Don't look down on my face."
"How can you not care about your face?" King Jin smiled, "He has to use him, but if it weren't for you, I wouldn't necessarily use him."
This is quite the truth. Jiang Changning smiled and picked up the tea cup, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for showing my face and giving him a chance. I will offer you a cup of tea instead of wine."
"Princess, you're welcome. Please do it first as a courtesy." Prince Jin picked up the teacup and drank half of the tea in one gulp.
The couple were chatting and laughing, and Shu Fei came in and greeted them, "Princess, people from the Ningxia Palace are here to ask the princess to save Mrs. Zhuang's life."
Jiang Changning was stunned, "Where is the person who reported the news? Let someone come in. I have something to ask."
"It's at the entrance of the courtyard. The slave girl asked her to come in." Shu Fei retreated.
After a while, Shu Fei led someone in, and Jiang Changning recognized it as Shui Lian, the maid next to Zhuang Qingchan.
As soon as Shui Lian entered the door, she knelt down and kowtowed, "Cousin, please save our wife quickly."
"You have made the matter clear. How can I save people if I don't know the situation?" Jiang Changning put the handkerchief on the corner of his mouth and said, "Just tell me."
"My wife is pregnant. It's been almost three months. The princess knows about it and wants to give her a fetal medicine." Shui Lian said simply.
"Did you drink it?" Jiang Changning asked.
Shui Lian was startled, "I tried my best to block it, but I didn't get it filled."
"Then why are you asking me to save lives?" Jiang Changning took the tea cup handed by King Jin and took a sip of tea.
"The princess said she would not let my wife go, and she must remove the child from her belly. Cousin, please save our wife, please."
"The Prince of Ningxia has a concubine and a prince. No matter what, he can't control Princess Song. Do we still need to rely on the power of the Prince of Jin?" Jiang Changning took the lid of the cup and gently pulled out the floating tea.
"Cousin, please save our wife. Your great kindness will never be forgotten by my wife." Shui Lian did not answer her question and kowtowed for help.
Jiang Changning smiled, "King Ningxia, Princess Ningxia is afraid of the power of the Song family and dare not control Princess Song. They want me to be this evil person. I, Prince Jin, are not afraid of the Song family, but why should I provoke that crazy woman Song Yirou?
"
"cousin girl"
"Also, I'm married to Prince Jin and have been his concubine for more than a year. Are you reminding me of something with your constant expressions?" Jiang Changning asked coldly.
"Slave, I just want the princess to remember her friendship with my wife. After all, we grew up together, so we can't ignore death," Shui Lian said.
Jiang Changning placed the tea cup heavily on the table, "Go back and tell the person who asked you to come to Prince Jin's Mansion, don't treat him like a fool. He is not the only smart person in the world."
Upon seeing this, Shu Fei immediately called someone in, covered Shui Lian's mouth, and dragged her out.
Throwing it at the gate of the courtyard, Fu Cui cursed at her: "You are indeed a slave who follows his master. The banker has no good people. He knows how to scheme with people. Don't come to the door again. If you dare to come again, the dogs will kill you."
After driving away Shuilian, King Jin stroked Jiang Changning's back and said, "Don't be upset, it's not for these people's fault."
"I'm not annoyed, I just think it's funny. Whose idea was this?" Jiang Changning asked.
"Helian Yuanzai."
"I guess it's him too. I don't know whether I should say he has a human head and a pig's brain, or a big head and no brains?"
"Smart fool."
On the other side, Shui Lian returned to the Ningxia Palace.
When the King of Ningxia saw her coming back alone, he frowned and said, "I didn't see Princess Jin."
"See, I see." Shui Lian failed to accomplish her task and was frightened.
"Why didn't she come?" the King of Ningxia asked in a deep voice.
"Princess Jin said." Shui Lian was determined and said everything Jiang Changning said without changing a word.
The King of Ningxia's face was ashen. After Song Yirou found out that Zhuang Qingchan was pregnant, she really wanted to have an abortion, saying that if the legitimate son was not born, then the bastard would be born, and there were no rules or regulations.
But with the concubine around, Song Yirou made trouble twice and was forced to go down.
Of course the King of Ningxia wanted his legitimate son, after all, only his legitimate son could inherit the title.
But Song Yirou wouldn't let him touch her, so how could he find a legitimate son?
He wanted to lose his wife and marry another, Zhuang Qingchan was pregnant, and Song Yirou was making trouble, so he wanted to take advantage of the power of the Jin Palace to kill Song Yirou secretly, so that the Song family and the Jin Palace would become enemies, and he could pretend to be the bitter one.
Who knew that Princess Jiang of Jin would never come to visit her.
"It's useless. You can't even do this little thing." The King of Ningxia kicked Shui Lian and said, "Get out."
Shui Lian endured the pain and trotted away.
Back in Zhuang Qingchan's yard, Zhuang Qingchan was sitting by the smoker, making some clothes. When he saw her coming in, he asked, "Where have you been?"
Shui Lian walked to the little wooden tree at her feet and sat down, motioning the two little girls to go out, and then said: "Girl, you have to save this slave."
"What happened?" Zhuang Qingchan asked.
Shui Lian told the whole story and even put on eye drops, "My cousin is really heartless."
Zhuang Qingchan looked at her intently, making her feel uncomfortable and touching her face, "Madam, what's wrong? Is there anything wrong with you, slave?"
"You have big ideas. I don't dare to call you around anymore. You can find your own place." Zhuang Qingchan said calmly.
"Girl, I don't dare not listen to what the prince says, so don't let me go." Shui Lian cried.
"Get out." Zhuang Qingchan said.
"Girl, I have been serving you for seven or eight years. Do you really not miss your old relationship at all?"
Zhuang Qingchan pursed her lips and said nothing. Shui Lian walked over and cried and begged again.
She was not a hard-hearted person, "Okay, don't cry. Don't get involved in this matter from now on. I will plead with the prince for you."
"Thank you, madam, thank you madam." Shui Lian wiped the tears from her face indiscriminately.
Jiang Changning had no way of knowing these things about the Prince of Ningxia. After she got up from a nap, she received a birthday gift from the banker.
This time, it is not the clothes and shoes and socks sewn by Wu and Zou "by their own hands", but a white jade Guanyin offering gifts to children, and a set of gilt pomegranate heads.
Jiang Changning smiled, knowing that it was useless to play the emotional card.
"This hairpin is too rough, don't wear it." King Jin picked up a hairpin, looked at it, and threw it back into the box.
"I don't want to wear it, Fangju, just put it in the west warehouse." Jiang Changning smiled, "It's okay to appreciate it."
