Chapter 229 Pulling Each Other
"Tang, Tanghulu?!"
When Jiang Shaoan saw Lin Jiangnian, he suddenly showed panic, and then heard him suddenly mention candied haws, and then he remembered something.
Last night, it seemed that he had promised to go to the west of the city to buy candied haws for Lin Jiangnian?
But after Jiang Shaoan left Jiang Mansion, he rushed to report the news and completely forgot about the matter. Besides, let him, the eldest son of the Jiang family, go buy candied haws?
Doesn't this humiliate him? !
Jiang Shaoan was naturally willing to die rather than give in. Especially after informing the Eighth Prince, he believed that Lin Jiangnian's good days were coming to an end, and his original fear weakened a lot.
He straightened his back slightly and snorted: "What candied haws? When did I promise to buy you candied haws?"
In the courtyard, Lin Jiangnian was sitting on a tree with dense branches, leaning against the trunk of the tree, and unexpectedly looked at Jiang Shaoan not far under the tree.
This little brat suddenly dared to talk to him like this?
As soon as I thought about it, I quickly realized where Jiang Shaoan's confidence lay... Could this guy think that he was good enough just to report the news?
"It seems that you didn't say a word of what you said yesterday?"
Lin Jiangnian glanced at him and spoke slowly.
Jiang Shao'an felt panicked and took a step back in fright at Lin Jiangnian's half-smiling eyes. But he soon realized that he couldn't be so cowardly, so he forced himself to stop and glared at Lin Jiangnian fiercely.
"Don't bully others too much...don't think that with my mother's help, you can do whatever you want!"
Having said this, Jiang Shaoan sneered again, with a somewhat proud look on his eyebrows: "Your good days are numbered!"
"oh?"
Lin Jiangnian raised his eyebrows: "How do you say that?"
Jiang Shaoan noticed the slip of his tongue, a trace of panic flashed in his eyes, and then he sneered: "Don't worry...your good days are coming to an end anyway. When the time comes, I will settle the accounts with you!"
In the past few days, he has suffered losses at the hands of Lin Jiangnian one after another. It is a great insult to him, the eldest son of the Jiang family, who has been pampered since childhood. What's more, he didn't expect that this guy was his cousin!
It was his cousin from Linzhou who he had always looked down upon!
This makes Jiang Shaoan feel extremely aggrieved, and new and old hatreds well up in his heart!
Now, with the support of the Eighth Prince behind him, Jiang Shaoan naturally no longer fears Lin Jiangnian. All he had to do now was wait for the Eighth Prince to take action and teach Lin Jiangnian a lesson. Then he will be able to feel proud and pay back all the insults he has suffered these days.
Jiang Shaoan's wishful thinking was loud and clear, and he no longer concealed the proud look in his eyes.
Lin Jiangnian, who was still sitting on the tree, suddenly turned over and fell steadily from the tree to the ground.
"You said you want to settle accounts, but I want to settle accounts with you first!"
"You, what are you going to do?!"
Seeing Lin Jiangnian suddenly walking towards him, Jiang Shaoan immediately realized that something was wrong. With the previous lessons learned, he turned around and ran into the back room without looking back!
But just after running a few steps, someone suddenly grabbed him by the collar behind him, and then a force of gravity pulled him back. He staggered a few steps and fell to the ground.
His butt, which had not fully recovered, was hit so hard that he almost burst into tears from the pain. But the next second, when Lin Jiangnian's malicious smile appeared in front of him, he was scared to hold back his tears.
"You, don't come here...you, what do you want to do?!"
"What?"
Lin Jiangnian smiled and stared at the frightened Jiang Shaoan in front of him, "Didn't you say you wanted to settle the score? Didn't I come to settle the score with you?"
"You...don't, don't come here...help, help!"
Jiang Shaoan was so frightened that he shouted at the top of his lungs. As soon as he shouted, several guards appeared outside the hospital. Jiang Shaoan seemed to be grasping at straws, "Quick, come and save this young master... Come quickly..."
Several guards heard the young master calling for help and quickly approached. But when he got closer and saw the scene in front of him, he was stunned again.
This, this is not...
"It's none of your business, get down!"
Lin Jiangnian half-squinted his eyes, holding Jiang Shaoan's collar with one hand, and waving at them with the other: "Your young master is disobedient, and your wife specially asked me to discipline this boy well. There is nothing wrong with you, so go down." Let’s play.”
Several guards looked at each other. They also knew Lin Jiangnian's identity. Some of them were actually present yesterday when they heard Madam asking the Prince Lin to discipline his young master.
In addition, Prince Lin has a distinguished status, he is also the nephew of the master and his wife, and the cousin of his own young master, they are all part of the same family!
Thinking of this, several guards hesitated and chose to retreat.
Jiang Shaoan was completely panicked!
That’s not right!
Why did his own bodyguard suddenly run away?
"Don't go...stop, hurry, save me..."
Jiang Shaoan was horrified and struggled desperately, but he couldn't get away. When he saw Lin Jiangnian's increasingly playful smile falling on him, Jiang Shaoan shuddered.
After these two days of painful lessons, coupled with the fact that even his own bodyguards now refused to help him, Jiang Shaoan, who was completely desperate, suddenly regretted extremely. Why did he provoke Lin Jiangnian?
Why bother with this guy!
Frightened, angry, frightened and desperate, Jiang Shaoan was frightened and cried!
"No, don't hit me..."
Jiang Shaoan's voice trembled and he was already frightened.
"Do you know you're wrong?"
"I know, I know!"
"Do you dare to do it next time?"
"No, I don't dare anymore..."
"..."
"Children can be taught."
Seeing Jiang Shaoan was so sensible, Lin Jiangnian finally nodded with satisfaction and patted his head: "In that case, I won't beat you today, get out."
Hearing this, Jiang Shaoan felt relieved, got up from the ground, and fled away from Lin Jiangnian in a panic. He turned back and stared at Lin Jiangnian fiercely. He wanted to say something harsh, but in the end he didn't dare to say it and fled!
"Tsk!"
A chuckle suddenly came from another place in the courtyard.
Lin Jiangnian glanced sideways and saw a beautiful figure approaching slowly. She was wearing a cloud-like skirt, a blue shirt with a shawl on the outside, and under her bundled hair, she revealed a mature and beautiful face, looking at Lin Jiangnian with a smile.
She walked softly, neither hurriedly nor slowly, to Lin Jiangnian's side, looking at the direction where Jiang Shaoan fled, with a bit of emotion in her beautiful eyes.
"Look at his look, I'm afraid he's scared to death by you!"
"Sure enough, to deal with a playboy like him, you have to be a bigger playboy like you!"
Lin Jiangnian glanced at his aunt who appeared beside him, "Aunt, are you praising me or insulting me?"
"Of course I'm praising you."
Jiang Yuxiang looked at Lin Jiangnian with a smile, not quite smiling.
Lin Jiangnian sighed, he couldn't hear any praise in his tone. What kind of skills are needed to teach a playboy who is ignorant and unskilled?
No need at all!
To deal with a playboy like Jiang Shaoan who can only rely on his parents, you only need to start with the aspects he is most proud of and attack and destroy his self-confidence.
Jiang Shaoan's most proud playboy capital has no advantage in front of Lin Jiangnian.
Not to mention that Lin Jiangnian is his cousin and his elder brother. How does the saying go, the elder brother is like a father, rounding off, Lin Jiangnian is also half his father.
It is natural for a father to beat his son!
Jiang Yuxiang slowly retracted his gaze and fell on Lin Jiangnian: "Aren't you afraid that he will completely hate you?"
"Why should I be afraid?"
"After all, he is your cousin, the child of my second brother..."
At this point, Jiang Yuxiang sighed lightly: "Sister-in-law doesn't want your relationship to be too stiff!"
"Don't worry, I know."
Lin Jiangnian smiled. If it weren't for the face of his uncle and aunt, this kid would not be able to escape the beating today.
As for whether Jiang Shaoan would completely hate him, it was not within Lin Jiangnian's consideration. On the contrary, he hated Lin Jiangnian now, and he could be used by Lin Jiangnian more.
Jiang Yuxiang put away the emotions on his face and glanced outside the yard again: "Has he gone to inform?"
"If nothing unexpected happens, it should be." Lin Jiangnian nodded.
When Jiang Shaoan came back, his face was full of smugness, and he dared to talk back to him, obviously he had someone to rely on.
"Then you..."
Jiang Yuxiang glanced at him: "Be careful next time!"
"This morning, many traces have been found outside the Jiang Mansion."
Jiang Yuxiang's face was slightly solemn: "I think they have noticed something."
"The news that I am still alive will sooner or later be revealed."
Lin Jiangnian nodded, not surprised by this, and chuckled again: "Let them try it, it's okay."
Jiang Yuxiang frowned, stared at Lin Jiangnian and wanted to say something, but finally held back.
"I will go to the palace later."
Jiang Yuxiang spoke softly.
Lin Jiangnian raised his eyes and realized what his aunt meant.
"Then, please, aunt?"
"It may not work."
Jiang Yuxiang shook his head gently and sighed: "It may not work to see the princess, I can only do my best."
Lin Jiangnian said: "Aunt, don't force it, it's okay if it doesn't work."
Jiang Yuxiang nodded and walked towards the door. Just after taking two steps, he seemed to think of something, stopped, and stared at Lin Jiangnian for a few times.
"By the way, did you do anything to Zhiyuan last night?"
The casual words made Lin Jiangnian's heart skip a beat.
Last night?
What did my aunt find out?
Lin Jiangnian remained calm: "What do you mean, aunt?"
"You answer me first?"
Jiang Yuxiang stared at Lin Jiangnian's eyes, smiling: "What did you do to Zhiyuan last night?"
"Nothing..."
Although Lin Jiangnian felt a little guilty, he remained calm.
After all, he didn't succeed, and rounding it off was indeed equivalent to not doing anything.
"Really?"
Jiang Yuxiang stared at Lin Jiangnian's eyes, as if trying to see something. But Lin Jiangnian's calm reaction was flawless.
"Aunt, why do you suddenly ask this?"
Lin Jiangnian asked indirectly.
Jiang Yuxiang retracted his gaze, thinking: "When I saw Zhiyuan this morning, she was a little strange!"
"Strange?"
"She was not right, a little absent-minded, not in the right state..."
At this point, Jiang Yuxiang looked at Lin Jiangnian thoughtfully, and suddenly said: "You'd better not bully Zhiyuan, otherwise I will not forgive you."
"Absolutely not!" Lin Jiangnian promised.
"Hmph!"
Jiang Yuxiang snorted lightly, rolled his eyes at Lin Jiangnian, and turned away.
After Jiang Yuxiang left, Lin Jiangnian sighed. Why was Zhiyuan absent-minded, how could he not know?
It was obviously last night...
Last night's behavior scared Zhiyuan, and Lin Jiangnian went to look for her this morning, but as expected, he was disappointed.
Zhiyuan was deliberately avoiding him!
Lin Jiangnian did not force it. Zhiyuan did not want to see him, and she needed some time to digest and accept what happened last night.
Lin Jiangnian was not in a hurry, and would not continue to provoke Zhiyuan at this time. Right now, he had more important things to do.
Not long after Jiang Yuxiang entered the palace, Lin Jiangnian also disguised himself and left the Jiang Mansion. He walked through the long alley, shook off the little tail following behind him, and came to a deep alley.
A familiar alley, separated by a few walls, is a bustling and lively street.
Lin Jiangnian walked into the gate and knocked on the door. After a long time, there was still no response. He took two steps back, then stepped on the ground with his toes, jumped up, and landed in the courtyard.
The courtyard was cold and quiet.
There was no one around.
Not only was there no one in the front yard, but the entire huge house seemed to have no one in sight, and the building was empty. There was still a breath of life in the courtyard building, but no one lived there.
Lin Jiangnian followed the familiar route and slowly came to the yard where he had lived a few days ago. The yard was clean and tidy, and the room was also tidy.
But...
There was still no one!
Lin Jiangnian stood in the room, looking around, and confirmed what he was thinking. After a while, he narrowed his eyes and left a letter in the room.
Then, he turned and left.
Just half an hour after Lin Jiangnian left, a figure quietly landed in the courtyard, walked into the room where Lin Jiangnian had been, and saw the letter on the table.
He took a closer look, and his eyes became solemn.
Not long after, the figure hurriedly left the room and courtyard and disappeared deep in the alley.
…
Imperial City.
Weiyang Palace.
Under the eaves of the imperial city, a maid in light-colored palace clothes was sitting under the eaves bored, looking at the gray sky and sighing.
“So boring!”
It was silent all around, and no one answered her.
“Can you stop being dumb and say something!”
A complaining voice came.
“Forget it!”
The maid in palace clothes sighed and waved her hands. Bored, she propped up her little face, looked at the sky, and muttered to herself.
"It was more fun to go out of the palace a few days ago. The princess asked me to go out of the palace to take care of the prince of Lin..."
"You may not believe it, but the prince of Lin is so handsome and elegant..."
Muttering to herself, a few blushes appeared on the delicate face of the maid in palace dress, and her beautiful eyes became more and more bright.
"But, it's a pity..."
As if she thought of something again, she sighed lightly.
Just then, hurried footsteps came from outside the door.
"Urgent news from outside the palace!"
Hearing this voice, the maid in palace dress's eyes lit up immediately: "Is there any information outside the palace?"
She walked out of the door with a cheerful pace.
A black shadow knelt on one knee outside and handed over a letter: "News from outside the palace, the young man left a letter in the room before!"
"Letter?"
The maid in palace dress was stunned, and then she realized who it was.
The young man outside the palace?
Isn't it the prince of Lin? !
The maid in palace dress took the letter quickly, looked at it for a few seconds, her face changed slightly, and she turned and left in a hurry.
…
"Princess, it's not good!"
In the quiet and cold courtyard.
Li Piaomiao, dressed in white, looked at the contents of the letter expressionlessly, without saying a word.
Beside her, the maid Jinxiu, dressed in light green palace dress, opened her eyes slightly, her beautiful eyes were astonished.
"He, he... already knows your identity, Princess?!"
"Then, what should I do?"
"…"
