Chapter 373 Losing Both the Wife and the Army
Late afternoon.
Inside the Jiang Mansion.
A sneaky figure was entering Jiang Mansion through the small door, passing through the corridor, and was about to return to his room. Suddenly, a cold voice came from behind.
"Shaoan!"
This sudden sound immediately made the sneaky figure freeze in place.
Not far away, at the entrance of the courtyard.
Jiang's mother suddenly became angry when she saw the sneaky people in the courtyard.
"Where have you been again?!"
"What kind of behavior would it be to hang out outside all day long?"
"One day at a time, can you do something serious?!"
Jiang's mother's face was full of sullenness. She was disappointed with her incompetent son and hated the fact that iron cannot become steel.
I am just such a child, and I have raised him as a treasure since I was a child. As a result, he developed a domineering character. He has been stubborn since he was a child, and now he is even more rebellious!
He hangs out all day long, hanging out with shady people, and is often nowhere to be found.
This makes Mother Jiang angry!
I don’t know how many times I have been educated, but to no avail. Instead, I have become more rebellious.
This makes Mother Jiang very headache and angry.
Now, seeing Jiang Shaoan's sneaky behavior, Jiang's mother couldn't help but darken her face. I haven't seen him for two more days. Where did this traitor go to hang out again?
Did you get into trouble again? !
Suddenly caught by his mother, Jiang Shaoan was obviously panicked. He didn't dare to look back: "Mom, I, I didn't..."
"If nothing happens, I, I will go back to the room first..."
Jiang Shaoan's voice was a little unclear and he wanted to run away.
"stop!"
Mother Jiang stopped him in a stern voice: "Who told you to leave?!"
"Where have you been these past two days?"
When Jiang's mother was asking, she suddenly found that the treacherous son in front of her was a little strange. There was something wrong with her back to him and her secretive look.
"You turn around and let me see?"
Mother Jiang spoke up.
But Jiang Shaoan became more and more uneasy, and his voice was still vague: "Mom, I'm fine, I, I'm really a little tired, I'm going back to my room first..."
"Don't leave!"
Mother Jiang spoke sharply. Seeing Jiang Shaoan was about to run away, Mother Jiang immediately glared: "Stop him!"
Immediately afterwards, two servants appeared in the courtyard and stood in front of Jiang Shaoan: "Master, my wife is calling you!"
Jiang Shaoan was blocked by his servants and suddenly panicked.
"Mother, mother, what are you doing..."
Mother Jiang's eyes became more and more suspicious as she stared at him: "Shao'an, turn around and look at mother!"
Under Mother Jiang's questioning gaze, Jiang Shaoan trembled slightly, but finally turned around reluctantly.
Mother Jiang's eyes fell on Jiang Shaoan's face. The next moment, her expression changed slightly: "You, what's wrong with you?!"
At this moment, Jiang Shaoan was seen looking miserable, his face was bruised and swollen, and his face, which was not handsome in the first place, looked even more... ugly!
With this look, it was obvious that he had just been beaten?
"Shao An? What's wrong with you?!"
Mother Jiang was startled, and her eyes immediately became serious.
What's going on?
Why does Shaoan look like this?
Who hit him?
"mother……"
Seeing his mother's worried and nervous look and tone, Jiang Shao'an, who had been aggrieved all day, finally couldn't stand it anymore.
"Mom, you have to make the decision for your child!"
Jiang Shaoan plopped up to Jiang's mother, knelt down and hugged her thigh, crying loudly: "Mom...you, you want to avenge the child..."
"Woooooooo..."
"..."
When Lin Jiangnian returned to Jiang Mansion, he felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere in the house.
"What happened?"
Lin Jiangnian didn't go back to the courtyard first and asked about Lin Qingqing at home.
Lin Qingqing hesitated to speak, and then whispered: "Your Highness, would you like to go and see Mrs. Jiang?"
Hearing this, Lin Jiangnian was slightly stunned, and then he seemed to realize something, and raised the corner of his mouth slightly: "What about Jiang Shao'an?"
Lin Qingqing nodded and said with a slightly worried expression: "Young Master Jiang came back with a bruised nose and face to complain to Mrs. Jiang, saying that Your Highness you beat him today..."
"Yo?"
Hearing this, Lin Jiangnian was happy: "Is this guy still framing me?"
As he said that, he nodded: "Okay, I'll go over and take a look!"
Lin Jiangnian turned around and came to the small courtyard where Jiang's mother lived. The usually deserted courtyard was a little lively today.
In the hall not far ahead, Mother Jiang was sitting in the front hall, frowning.
Jiang Shaoan sat aside, with a look of grievance on his face and red eyes, like a child who had been wronged.
Lao Gao's face was swollen, blue and red, and he was in a miserable state.
It looks like he suffered a lot.
Next to her, Zhiyuan sat with cold eyes, but a trace of worry could be vaguely seen in her eyes.
Xiaozhu stood behind Zhiyuan, equally worried, until she glanced out of the corner of her eye and saw a figure outside the courtyard not far away.
"Your Highness?!"
Xiaozhu spoke excitedly.
At the same time, all eyes in the hall fell outside the courtyard.
"Is everyone here?"
Lin Jiangnian walked in with a smile on his face and glanced at Zhiyuan first. Zhiyuan also looked at him quietly without speaking, but there was some worry in his eyes.
Lin Jiangnian gave her a reassuring look, and then glanced at Jiang Shao'an. His eyes were a little evasive, but he still had a look of hatred, obviously he hated and feared Lin Jiangnian.
Lin Jiangnian ignored him and looked at Mother Jiang ahead.
"Auntie!"
Lin Jiang young smiled and said: "Why are you all here today?"
When Jiang's mother saw Lin Jiangnian, a kind smile appeared on her face: "Jiangnian, you came at the right time. Auntie has something to tell you!"
Lin Jiangnian naturally knew what Jiang's mother wanted to ask: "Jiang's mother wants to ask about my cousin?"
"That's right!"
Jiang's mother nodded, a little worried and confused: "Shaoan said, Jiangnian, you beat him today?"
"What's going on?"
Not long ago, when she found that her rebellious son came back with a bruised face, Jiang's mother was worried and surprised, and hurriedly asked the reason.
Jiang Shaoan began to cry and said that Lin Jiangnian beat him today!
Jiang's mother didn't believe the rebellious son's accusation.
On the one hand, Jiang Shaoan often lied to people, and Jiang's mother knew the character of this rebellious son very well. On the other hand, Jiang's mother also knew that Lin Jiangnian was sensible and would not beat him for no reason, and beat Shaoan so badly...
Now that Lin Jiangnian has come, she naturally wants to ask clearly.
"Did Shaoan complain to you?"
Lin Jiangnian turned his head to look at Jiang Shaoan, and saw that he shrank his neck, his eyes were a little evasive and guilty.
Lin Jiangnian laughed and nodded: "Yes, aunt, I did beat my cousin today!"
Hearing this, everyone else present was stunned.
It seems that they didn't expect that this was really the case? His Highness, did you really beat Young Master Jiang? !
Mother Jiang was also a little surprised. Did Jiang Nian really beat Shaoan?
However, Mother Jiang quickly reacted and frowned: "What's going on? Jiang Nian, did Shaoan do something bad again?"
Jiang Shaoan on the side: "..."
He was stunned!
No, mother, your own son was beaten, and the culprit also admitted it, so what was your first question?
You didn't question the culprit, and your first thought was that your son did something bad?
Who is your own son? !
"He didn't do anything bad!"
Lin Jiangnian glanced at Jiang Shaoan and shook his head gently.
Just when Jiang Shaoan was slightly relieved, Lin Jiangnian changed his tone: "It's just that I saw him on the Nanhu cruise today. My cousin was rude and angry to me... By the way, aunt!"
Lin Jiangnian seemed to remember something: "I saw Shaoan drunk on the Nanhu cruise today, and there was a smell of women's rouge on his body. I don't know what he did..."
As soon as these words came out, it was obvious that the hall suddenly became silent.
Zhiyuan's expression did not change, and he stared at Lin Jiangnian quietly, wondering what he was thinking. Xiaozhu behind him slightly widened his eyes.
Young Master Jiang...drinking in Nanhu?
There was also a smell of women's rouge on his body?
Wouldn't Young Master Jiang be...
The hall was silent for a second.
Jiang Shaoan, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, heard this and his face changed immediately!
Not good!
Sure enough, the next second!
"Jiang Shaoan?!!"
Jiang Shaoan was startled by the sudden sharp voice, and when he looked up, he met his mother's cold and stern eyes.
"You were in Nanhu today?!"
"Drinking?"
"And hanging out with women outside?!"
"..."
Faced with Jiang's mother's questioning, Jiang Shaoan was completely panicked.
He never expected that Lin Jiangnian would actually reveal everything he had done today... He has no martial ethics!
"Mother, mother... It's not like that..."
Jiang Shaoan tried his best to explain, but he stammered and couldn't make sense.
And Jiang's mother was almost furious, her face gloomy and cold.
She had long been dissatisfied with her rebellious son hanging out outside all day. But Jiang Shaoan had never caused any big trouble, so she didn't care much.
But no matter what, Jiang Shaoan is only fifteen or sixteen years old now. At such an age, he has already learned to drink wine and hang out with women outside? !
How can this be?
The family style of the Jiang family will be completely ruined by him!
The more Jiang's mother thought about it, the angrier she got. She wanted to get up and beat her rebellious son.
"Madam, calm down, calm down!"
The maid beside her tried to comfort her.
Jiang Shaoan was almost scared: "Mother, mother, you have to calm down... don't be impulsive..."
Jiang's mother was almost furious, and said coldly: "You still have the nerve to come and complain?! Why didn't Jiang Nian beat you to death today? I should have beaten you to death earlier... lest you ruin the Jiang family's reputation in the future..."
Jiang Shaoan was anxious and aggrieved!
That's not right!
Mother, who is your son?
Why are you on the side of an outsider?
"Mother, don't just talk about me..."
Jiang Shaoan was anxious and angry. Seeing Lin Jiangnian looking at him with interest, he immediately pointed at Lin Jiangnian angrily: "He is not much better..."
"I, I also saw him on the Nanhu cruise ship today, and, he was with the Princess and another woman..."
Jiang Shaoan immediately complained!
I didn't do anything today, but I still got scolded!
Where's Lin Jiangnian?
This guy was on a boat trip in Nanhu Lake with two women today, hiding in the room and wondering what he was doing...
"Princess?"
Mother Jiang was stunned, subconsciously glanced at Jiangnian, and then reacted, and angrily reached out and hit Jiang Shaoan on the head: "Can you compare with Jiangnian?!"
"He's older than you!"
"What's wrong with Jiangnian being with the princess?"
"The princess is Jiangnian's fiancée, isn't it normal for them to be together?"
"You still dare to quibble? Tell me, what did you do on the boat trip in Nanhu Lake today? If you don't tell the truth, wait for your father to come back and see how he will deal with you!!"
"Mother, mother, I was wrong...Mother, ouch...stop fighting..."
"..."
Jiang Shaoan obviously didn't expect that his frame-up today would end up costing his wife and losing his troops.
After learning that he was drinking flower wine in Nanhu today, Jiang's mother was angry and gave Jiang Shaoan a lesson. If it weren't for his miserable appearance, he would have been beaten severely.
But even so, Jiang Shaoan was still miserable.
Afterwards, Jiang's mother took Lin Jiangnian and told her, "Jiang Nian, if you see him hanging around outside again, just take action... educate him well for your aunt!"
"Don't show mercy!"
Jiang's mother was obviously a little too angry and was dizzy with anger. Lin Jiangnian nodded quickly: "Don't worry, Auntie, I will educate Shaoan well for you and make him get back on the right track... Auntie, don't be so angry. Get ready, go down and rest first!”
Mother Jiang was so angry that her body almost broke out from the anger. With the help of her servants, she went back to her room to rest.
Zhiyuan and Xiaozhu left first with Jiang's mother, but before leaving, Zhiyuan gave Lin Jiangnian a meaningful look.
Just this glance made Lin Jiangnian realize that...he was in trouble!
Jiang Shaoan revealed that Lin Jiangnian met the princess in Nanhu today. Mother Jiang would not find it strange, but Zhiyuan... it would be hard to say!
While talking about breaking off the engagement with the eldest princess, he met with the eldest princess in private...
I'm afraid Zhiyuan needs a good explanation!
Maybe, I will be kicked out by the paper kite again tonight.
Thinking of this, Lin Jiangnian looked at the 'culprit' on the side of the hall!
At this time, Jiang Shaoan, who realized that the frame-up had failed and that something was not going well, had long wanted to sneak away.
Just after taking two steps away, Lin Jiangnian glanced at him coldly: "Where do you want to go?!"
"I, I..."
Jiang Shaoan was caught escaping, and he immediately froze: "I, I'm tired... I'm going back to my room first!"
"Who allowed you to leave?"
Lin Jiangnian narrowed his eyes and sneered: "Come here!"
Jiang Shaoan shook his head like a rattle: "No!"
This is going to pass, or will I have to be beaten again?
He won't go there!
"If you don't go over, believe it or not, I will whip you?" Lin Jiangnian narrowed his eyes.
Jiang Shaoan frowned and said, "I've been there, why don't you still want to whip me?"
Lin Jiangnian is happy, is this kid smart?
"Come here, I won't slap you!"
"I don't believe it!"
Jiang Shaoan will not be fooled.
"If you don't come over, I'll whip you twice today and you won't be able to get out of bed for a month. Do you believe it?"
Lin Jiangnian sneered.
Hearing this, Jiang Shaoan was shocked all over.
Of course he believes it!
The cousin in front of him was not merciless at all... If he didn't go over, he might be beaten to the point where he wouldn't be able to get out of bed for a month.
Thinking of this, Jiang Shaoan was reluctant and cautiously moved closer.
"You, what do you want to do?!"
"What do I want to do?"
Lin Jiangnian sneered: "Shouldn't I ask you?"
As he said that, Lin Jiangnian glanced at the injuries on his face: "Did I inflict the injuries on your face?"
"No, it's not..."
"Then why did you frame me?"
"I……"
Jiang Shaoan hesitated and couldn't explain why.
"Who hit you?"
Lin Jiangnian asked again.
Jiang Shaoan still said nothing.
When Lin Jiangnian saw this, he immediately raised his hand.
Jiang Shao'an suddenly squatted on the ground in fear, holding his head: "No, don't hit me!"
"explain!"
"Yes, it's the Eighth Prince..."
Young Master Jiang spoke aggrievedly.
