Chapter 293
He actually said this to play tricks. What if the emperor is not talking about Ningning? Although the probability is very small, what if.
"Father, what happened?" Jiang Zhao stared at Jiang Jin and Shen Jinyuan and asked.
Jiang Cheng sighed in his heart, the fifth brother is so stupid.
He couldn't say it, but he had to say it. If he didn't tell the fifth brother, the boy wouldn't be able to marry Shen Dongning, and he would think he was a bad guy.
He didn't want to be the bad guy.
The bad guys are the second brother and the Shen family.
"Old Second, Shen Jinyuan, you two can tell the story yourself."
"You two should raise your heads and face Old Fifth! Especially Old Second, why are you hiding your head?" Jiang Cheng said coldly, frightening the two of them. "Are you embarrassed now? Why didn't you think about it when you did that?"
Jiang Jin and Shen Jinyuan raised their heads to face Jiang Zhao, and Jiang Cheng's voice fell again: "Hurry up and tell the story."
Old Fifth is so pitiful.
Chapter 89
Facing Jiang Zhao's strange eyes, Jiang Jin looked somewhat embarrassed. Of course, he was more afraid that his father would dislike him for a long time after this incident.
His father's move today was clearly to help Old Fifth vent his anger.
"Second brother, what's the matter?"
"You look like you're sorry for me. What will you do to make me sorry?"
Jiang Jin felt the coldness from Jiang Cheng above, closed his eyes tightly and opened them again, and finally spoke: "Fifth brother, the Shen family girl is pregnant with my flesh and blood."
"The second girl or the third girl?" Jiang Zhao paused and asked.
The words had been said, Jiang Jin stopped struggling, and his tone was very calm: "It's the eldest girl Shen Dongning."
"Second brother, you are joking, right?"
Everyone present was observing Jiang Zhao's expression. It was the first time that they couldn't tell what he was thinking from his face, but they didn't think he could accept this calmly. Now it was just the eve of the storm.
"It's not a joke, it's true."
"Your marriage with Shen Dongning can't be successful."
Every time Jiang Jin said something, Shen Jinyuan lowered his head a little. In the past, he thought he could play around with the fifth prince, and he was proud of it in his heart, but he forgot that the fifth prince was the son of His Majesty. Even if she is not smart, she is still favored by His Majesty. He blamed the eldest girl for saying those bewitching words, but he had the same idea himself.
The most beautiful one among them is the Second Prince, and the Second Prince would not take the initiative to ask His Majesty which girl to choose. Everything is arranged by His Majesty. Moreover, the eldest girl's age was not suitable at that time, but her cousin was chosen. He didn't know when the eldest girl had a relationship with the Second Prince. Maybe it was during the years when she returned to the ancestral home to recuperate? But the Second Prince did care about the eldest girl afterwards.
Since the two of them had a relationship, he could only hide it, and he was more or less lucky in his heart.
Jiang Cheng, who was sitting at the top, listened quietly to Shen Jinyuan's inner monologue, and became more and more angry. No matter how stupid his son was, he was not something these people could calculate. He casually grabbed the inkstone next to him and threw it at Shen Jinyuan. Shen Jinyuan saw it but didn't dare to dodge, so he could only take the inkstone.
[Hit it, hit it, this will at least help His Majesty calm down. ]
[It really hurts. ]
[If I had known earlier, I would not have taken any chances and let the eldest girl "die of illness". She has the second prince's child, and she is raised far away from the capital, so there will be opportunities in the future. Alas, why didn't I think of this at the time? ]
Jiang Cheng's face was gloomy. He actually dared to think so? Hateful.
He grabbed the pen holder next to him and threw it at Shen Jinyuan again, this time it also affected Jiang Jin's face.
Jiang Jin didn't dare to hide like Shen Jinyuan, and he took it silently. He pursed his lips tightly and paid attention to Jiang Zhao in front of him. Lao Wu didn't react yet. Could he be stupid because of this incident?
He knew that Shen Dongning was Lao Wu's fiancée. That was why, when he found out that Shen Dongning also had feelings for him, he was calm on the surface but actually very excited inside, as if he had instantly released his hidden infidelity. They met at a good time, at the Shen family's ancestral home, far away from the capital. He, who had always been cautious, couldn't help but relax and do a lot of ridiculous things.
In fact, he was not very anxious about Shen Dongning marrying Lao Wu. He would not tell Shen Dongning that he would only like her more if she became Lao Wu's wife. Such a habit must be very strange in the eyes of the world. Shen Dongning might not be able to accept it. He could only pretend to be a little anxious on the surface. However, Shen Dongning was his woman, and he would indeed try his best to prevent Lao Wu from getting close to her.
He just liked that she was nominally Lao Wu's wife.
As the second son of the emperor, he was cautious. Although he had a strange reaction when he saw his brothers' wives and his subordinates' wives, he never really cared until he met Shen Dongning at the Shen family's ancestral home.
It's a pity that his father found out about this, otherwise... He felt secretly happy and excited when he thought about it.
"Old Five, I will make the decision for you. If the girl from the Shen family doesn't work out, I will find you a better one, okay?" Jiang Zhaoan stood there quietly and stared at Jiang Jin. Jiang Cheng had never seen Old Five so calm before, and was afraid that the boy would be angry and stupid.
Jiang Zhao moved. He retracted his gaze and stopped looking at Jiang Jin. He said "Oh" casually, walked back to his original position and sat down. He grabbed the cakes next to him and ate them. He ate a cake and drank a sip of tea. He finished the cakes in a few seconds. No one present dared to say anything, wondering what he wanted to do next.
He put down the teacup, walked in front of Jiang Cheng, and stared at the cakes on his table: "Father, if you don't want to eat it, give it to your son."
"Eat it if you like." Jiang Cheng looked worried. Lao Wu's situation was not right, especially wrong. In the past, when he encountered urgent things, this kid would have been excited and made a fuss.
