Ji Xianzhi said in a deep voice, his hands kept holding on to the courtesy, and he did not dare to relax at all.

Jiang Mengluo was a little surprised and slowly stood up and returned to her greeting and asked, "Why should the king apologize to me?"

Ji Xianzhi replied, "The lord offended the girl just now and was really sorry, so he ordered me to invite the girl. He should have come here in person, but he made the west courtyard of the mansion a private residence. The lord was inconvenient to enter, so he could only invite the girl."

Jiang Mengluo's face turned slightly red, and she shook her head quickly and said, "I would like to ask Uncle Ji to report back to King Rui, I had broken the rules first and said rudely in front of the king just now. But if the Jiang girl went out of the Western Courtyard to meet King Rui, I am afraid it would be unruly. If my brother knew about it, he would definitely blame me for not being polite."

Ji Xianzhi didn't go to invite him anymore. He knew that if a king repeatedly invited the sister of an important minister to meet him but was rejected, it would inevitably be ridiculed by the prince's relatives and nobles when it was heard. At that time, King Rui would become the laughing stock of Luoyang City, which would really damage his dignity.

He bowed to Jiang Mengluo again and bent down to leave.

Jiang Mengluo let out a long sigh, feeling a little dizzy. She thought that Ning Zheng should have officially regarded his cousin as a political enemy. The next open and secret arrows will all go towards Jiang Chengyi, but Ning Zheng will never give up trying to win over Jiang Chengyi. His cousin's talent is amazing. What will the Emperor of the Great Wei Dynasty do in the future if he gets this assistant? Ning Zheng dared not think about it. If he cannot win over in the future, he will attack his cousin. No matter what method he uses, he will definitely pull Jiang Chengyi off the horse. It is possible to exterminate the clan and confiscate the house or even assassinate it.

She stared at her and thought about it, gently tapping the smooth surface of the white jade table with her fingers, thinking about how to play chess next.

In the evening, the ministers and princes who came to congratulate the visiting ministers and princes on their farewell.

Ning Zheng and his third son left Jiang Mansion and drove the car to Prince Rui Mansion directly. Ji Xianzhi, who was driving, knew that his little master would suffer again.

Sure enough, as soon as the car stopped in front of Prince Rui's mansion, he saw Ning Zheng's face with a cold face, and got off the car first with a cold air, and walked quickly into the mansion. Ning Nanqing and Ning Nankun got off the car with cold faces.

Ji Xianzhi was waiting aside, and when Ning Nanyou jumped down, stood in front of the mansion with his hands behind his back, staring at the three figures that had gone far away, his expression became lonely, "You see in my father's eyes, in my brother's eyes, I always seem to be redundant. What am I looking forward to over the years?" He seemed to be talking to Ji Xianzhi, and he seemed to be muttering to himself.

Ji Xianzhi couldn't help but touch his sore nose and stepped forward and said, "My lord, don't worry so much. Let's go in quickly."

Ning Nanyou was only a moment of pain, and soon he returned to his cold appearance. "Uncle Ji, go check Jiang's family and his sister, remember to study it carefully, I must know the bottom of it." Ji Xianzhi nodded and responded, and Ning Nanyou stepped into the mansion. At this time, Ning Zheng had already knelt in the hall, and King Ming and King De were sitting upright on the left and right. The three of them were aggressive, and none of them had a good face.

Ning Nanyou came to the main hall with a serious expression. He bowed to Ning Zheng, the chief seat and said, "Father."

Ning Zheng was covered in cold face and said nothing. The Ming Wang Ning Nanqing, who was beside him, spoke first, "My second brother really made me look at him with admiration today. A woman from Jiang's family, you have become her defeated general. The face of the Huai Prince's Mansion has been lost today."

Ning Nanyou bent over, pursed his lips and said in a deep voice, "Brother said it very well, it is my fault. It is especially unfair to humiliate the name of the family. I also asked my father to punish him."

However, Ning Nankun snorted coldly and said disdainfully, "The second brother Guanhui apologized for himself afterwards. The matter has come true now. My father needs face the most. Once this matter is spread, the emperor's people will laugh out loud when they hear it."

Ning Nanyou stood in the middle of the lobby, bent down and kept his polite manners, lowering his eyebrows and eyes, waiting for Ning Zheng to speak.

After the hall was silent for a long time, Ning Zheng opened his mouth and said coldly, "Zhaoer, you don't mean to blame you for your father, but the strength of the Jiang clan is amazing. The Jiang clan is just a woman, and his force is far better than you. I believe that all the people under Jiang Chengyi's subordinates will not be mediocre. If this Jiang clan really rises in the future, but is not used by me, I am afraid that the situation of the business of Luoyang for many years will collapse."

"What's going on in the future?" Ning Nanyou knew that Ning Zheng was not worried about the Jiang family's daughter being better than him, and the cold face was just worried about dealing with Jiang Chengyi. He did not care about the ridicule of the brothers Ning Nanqing and Ning Nankun, but only stared at Ning Zheng's actions, and then continued, "If Jiang Chengyi cannot use it for himself, my father should remove him as soon as possible."

"No. Jiang Mengzhi is a talented person, and is well-known in the world and the academic community. If he is removed rashly, he will only arouse the anger of the public. He has been in charge of the government for many years. Although his power is huge, he knows how the people of the world think of me. He confronts the emperor and intends to take power. He is just a cunning and cunning powerful minister. Jiang Chengyi has a wide range of people involved. If I secretly take action to eliminate it, I am afraid that the news will be accidentally released in the future and lose most of the people's hearts. At that time, the great cause will be destroyed. Fortunately, Your Majesty has not completely relieved of Jiang Chengyi at this moment. If the emperor cannot share the same hatred with him, then we have the opportunity to take advantage of it."

"What my father meant is to take Jiang Chengyi under his command or use His Majesty to remove him?" Before Ning Nanyou could speak, Ning Nanqing, who was standing beside him, responded to Ning Zheng's words and asked questions.

Ning Zheng turned his head to look at Ning Nanqing, his face slightly gentler, and nodded with satisfaction, "Not bad."

Seeing this, Ning Nanyou slowly bent his hand in his sleeve, and his eyes dimmed.

"What should my father do?" Ning Nankun also asked, his eyes were bright and clear, and he felt a sense of respect. Ning Zheng showed a loving look on his face, staring at him for a while and laughed, "Tomorrow I am well-read poetry and books, and sir praises me every day. What do you think you should do now as a father?"

"In the current situation, marriage should be the best. I heard that Jiang Chengyi loved his sister Jiang Chengjia very much and always listened to his sister's words. If the Huai Prince's Mansion could marry Jiang Chengjia to control Jiang Chengjia, then Jiang Chengyi would naturally submit to me slowly." Ning Nankun's words were reasonable, with careful eyes in his eyes, and he had ulterior motives at first glance. His words made Ning Zheng frown deeply, "Do you fall in love with that woman in Jiang tomorrow?" He asked in a father's tone. Ning Nankun naturally knew that he could not hide it from his father, so his cheeks turned slightly red, and he knelt aside without saying a word.

Ning Zheng sighed, "How could Jiang Chengyi be willing to marry her sister into your mansion? Besides, I will never agree to marry Jiang's daughter to you. After all, her brother is still from the Water Pavilion. You will be in a key position tomorrow. If she is allowed to enter your mansion, you may not make any bigger mistakes."

"But...father..." Ning Nankun wanted to argue. Ning Zheng immediately stopped it, "You can't discuss this matter anymore, so you can stop this idea. The Jiang girl is indeed beautiful and charming, but such a woman will definitely harm you in the future." Seeing that he was so determined, Ning Nankun had to mutely speak.

"This Jiang Chengyi is really hard to get started." Ning Nanqing also frowned and said, "The father and son were sitting in the hall thinking, completely forgot about Ning Nanyou who was still standing in the hall now. This made his face even colder. When the King of Huai and his son left the palace, Ning Nanyou sat in front of the hall slowly and slowly, his face was pale and silent for a moment. He suddenly waved his sleeves and swept all the teacups and wine bottles on the table to the ground, and his dark eyes were full of anger.

The servants who were cleaning the hall were so scared that they all bowed to the ground and called out in surprise, "Good King!"

Ning Nanyou's slender and fair right hand was placed on the table and gradually clenched into a fist.

At this moment, Ji Xianzhi happened to return from outside the mansion. Seeing the chaos of the main hall, he felt anxious and thought that Ning Zheng was angry with Ning Nanyou again, so he rushed forward, but saw Ning Nanyou sitting in the main seat with a gloomy face.

"What's wrong with the lord?" he stepped forward and asked softly.

Ning Nanyou was lost for a moment. Seeing that the person coming was Ji Xianzhi, he gently relaxed his eyebrows and said coldly, "Uncle Ji returned so early, but did he find out the Jiang clan?"

Ji Xianzhi nodded and replied, "It's clear. The Jiang brothers and sisters were originally from an ordinary family in Jiyun Lane, Chang'an. Jiang Chengyi's father was a military man. Five years ago, he went to the front line and died in the battlefield. He covered his bones and loess. The family got a pension. The brother and sister took the coins to Kuaiji. Jiang Mengluo, the owner of the Shui Pavilion, had a blood relationship with the ancestors of the Jiang family. Seeing that the two brothers and sisters were extremely intelligent, they took them to Shui Pavilion.

The master of the Water Pavilion and Jiang Chengyi's sister came to the spotlight. Because her small characters were the same as her name, she became even more happy and often talked about poetry and talked about things. However, the master of the Water Pavilion only told Jiang Chengyi that Jiang Chengjia was well protected by her brother, had a weird and arrogant temper, and was not afraid of the sky or the earth. But because of this, she was not suitable for working for the Water Pavilion. On the contrary, Jiang Chengyi seemed to have a very high status in the Water Pavilion."

Ning Nanyou listened quietly, and his right hand involuntarily turned the Hetian jade ring on the thumb of his left hand. The fingerprint of the ring was clear, and a lifelike jade phoenix with petals like a spoon lotus. The ring was tightly pressed against Ning Nanyou's thumb, and it was not very movable, but he seemed to be used to it and wanted to turn it stubbornly.

"It seems that I need to take down Jiang Chengyi." He suddenly said in silence for a while.

"How should the lord do it?"

"Marriage."

"Marriage?"
