Upon hearing Jiang Xiao's question, Chu Xing's brows visibly narrowed.

"What the eldest lady asked is a bit over the line, isn't it?" Chu Xing said, "I work for the Fourth Young Master, and the eldest lady has no reason to know."

"Really?" Jiang Xiao raised his eyebrows and said, "Don't talk about you, even my brother dare not hide it in front of me. He will answer whatever I ask. I am his sister, and his business is my business.

Where is the line crossed?”

"In that case, why don't the eldest lady go and ask the Fourth Young Master directly?" Chu Xing said, "Why did you call me here?"

Hearing Chu Xing's question, Jiang Xiao was not surprised and said with a smile, "I didn't ask him because he might have lied to me. I suspect that he is doing something prohibited by Jiang's order. Don't be harmed by my brother."

Once exposed, my brother will be fine. At most he will be scolded a few times and put in solitary confinement, but none of you will be able to escape, and you will all be severely punished."

What is prohibited by Jiang’s order?

Could it be that what the Fourth Young Master sent Wang Wei to do with him was not allowed by the Jiang family?

Lu An was very calm in his heart, but he pretended to frown even more on the outside. It was impossible for him to betray Jiang Ping, not because he didn't want to, but because betrayal was worthless at this time. Unless he could confirm that he could seize someone with a higher status, and he could be there.

Otherwise, he would never take the risk in advance. If he told Jiang Xiao now, the other party would abandon him after asking questions, and there would be no follow-up. And if he really betrayed, Jiang Ping's anger would be the most difficult problem to deal with.

.

"I can't speak." Chu Xing's answer was concise and straightforward, "If the eldest lady thinks that I can speak, she would be looking down on me." ??

"Oh?" Jiang Xiao saw that Chu Xing was not angry, and said with a smile, "Can't you see that you are so loyal?"

"It's not about loyalty, it's about keeping one's word." Chu Xing said.

"Don't talk too much." Jiang Xiao's smile deepened. Threats were useless to this man and said, "You haven't read the conditions I have offered."

When Chu Xing heard this, his expression was obviously curious, and he asked, "What are the conditions?"

Seeing Chu Xing's interested look, Jiang Xiao laughed directly and said, "I will give you three times the reward he gave you. From now on, you work by my side and I guarantee that my brother will not take revenge on you."

.”

After hearing this, Chu Xing nodded as if he suddenly understood.

, said, "Sincerity is quite good."

"Are you tempted?" Jiang Xiao said with a smile, "If you are tempted, just tell me."

"When did I say that I was tempted?" Chu Xing frowned, looked at Jiang Xiao with questioning eyes, and said, "I'm just curious about what conditions the eldest lady will offer."

"..."

Hearing Chu Xing's words, the smile on Jiang Xiao's face quickly disappeared. He looked at Chu Xing coldly and asked, "Are you kidding me?"

"I don't dare." Chu Xing said sincerely, "You are the eldest lady of the Jiang family, I am just a lonely person with a life to die. But no one can force me to do what I don't like to do, no matter the fourth son or the eldest son.

It’s the same for all young ladies. And I hate being threatened the most. Even if the King of Heaven threatens me, I won’t give in. At worst, I’ll die.”

Seeing the man in front of her say these words so seriously, with a hint of indifference in the seriousness, made Jiang Xiao feel somewhat surprised. She had met many people, but people like this were withdrawn, stubborn, and a bit fierce.

I have seen very few people who are bearish on life and death. But judging from this person's behavior, Jiang Xiao knew that he might not be able to ask what he wanted to know in this short period of time.

"But I'm looking for you and you leave my place. Do you think my brother won't doubt you?" Jiang Xiao asked.

"I already told the Fourth Young Master before I came to you, and it was the Fourth Young Master who asked me to come." Chu Xing shrugged and said completely indifferently, "And even if the Fourth Young Master doesn't trust me, what if I don't cooperate with the Jiang family?

Can’t you survive?”

"..."

Finally, Jiang Xiao's brows gradually furrowed. Although she felt that this man was different when they were in the banquet hall, she didn't expect him to be so strange, almost invulnerable, and had no breakthrough at all.

At this moment, a figure suddenly walked into the courtyard. Without Jiang Xiao's order, even the man who had just brought Lu An could not enter the courtyard without permission, which is enough to show the high status of this person.

It’s none other than the Fourth Young Master Jiang Ping!

"Sister!" She hasn't even reached the palace yet.

In front of the palace, Jiang Ping in the courtyard shouted, "Is Chu Xing here with you?"

In the palace, Jiang Xiao's brows tightened and she looked towards the door. She didn't expect her brother to come so quickly. It seemed that Lu An was indeed involved in something.

Footsteps approached quickly, and soon there was a knock on the door. Jiang Ping stood at the door and said loudly, "Sister?"

Jiang Xiao took a deep breath and said, "Come in."

squeak------

The door was pushed open, Jiang Ping entered the palace, and immediately saw the two people sitting on the chairs.

Jiang Ping only glanced at Chu Xing, then strode towards Jiang Xiao and said with a smile, "Sister, why are you looking for him? I still have things waiting for him to do!"

Jiang Xiao looked at Jiang Ping and then at Lu An before saying, "Since you have something to do, go ahead and do it."

When Chu Xing heard this, he stood up, raised his hands to Jiang Xiao and said, "Miss, take your leave."

After saying this, Chu Xing turned around and left.

Jiang Xiao looked at Chu Xing striding away, and at this moment Jiang Ping said, "Sister, I'm leaving first too!"

"Wait!" Jiang Xiao frowned and said, "Did I tell you to leave?"

"..."

Jiang Ping looked at his eldest sister and couldn't express the pain in his heart. He couldn't help it. His sister was twenty years older than him. His parents were very busy after he was born. The person who took care of him the most was his eldest sister. In addition, her eldest sister had a cold temper.

, his temper is not very good, and he suffered a lot when he was a child. But he is also very grateful to his eldest sister and respects her very much, even now. Even in front of his second brother and third brother, he is very mature, but in front of his eldest sister, he is still very mature.

He can only be a little brother.

Seeing Jiang Xiao pointing to the side, Jiang Ping had no choice but to come over and sit down and said, "What are your orders, eldest sister?"

"The person you found is good. He didn't say anything just now." Jiang Xiao said, "If he didn't say anything, I would ask you directly. Did you let them go to Tianxinghe to do something?"

"..."

Hearing the eldest sister's direct question, Jiang Ping felt even more confused. He had a headache and rubbed his head hard.

In the end, under the eyes of the eldest sister, she could only nod and said, "Yes."

"Are you crazy?" Hearing Jiang Ping's admission with his own ears, Jiang Xiao's eyes sharpened and he immediately said in a deep voice, "Is this something we can get involved in? If the top clan knew that we were doing this kind of thing, what do you think?

Can you have good fruit to eat?!"

"That's why I asked outsiders to do it instead of letting the clan members do it. This way, even if I am caught, I can completely disassociate myself from them and say that they did it themselves and have nothing to do with me. No matter what the top clan is,

, it’s impossible to do anything to me without evidence, right?” Jiang Ping said.

"What can't be done to you? You are too naive!" Jiang Xiao said coldly, "If they really want to investigate, they can directly send people to our Jiang family and interrogate you and Chu Xing separately. Do you think there will be no flaws?

And even if there is no evidence, people can punish us if they want. Do you think Jiang has the ability to resist?"

Hearing the eldest sister's scolding, Jiang Ping frowned even more. In fact, he was also aware of the risks of this matter, but he still gritted his teeth and said, "What else? Everyone knows that there are huge benefits in this, and there may be a shocking secret! Everyone wants it.

, why can they take action? If our Jiang clan gets the secret, we will definitely be among the top clans, or even surpass all of them!"

Seeing Jiang Ping's indignant look, Jiang Xiao's brows tightened and he said, "Are you only doing it for the Jiang family and not for yourself?"

"..."

Jiang Ping was speechless for a moment. He looked at the eldest sister and wanted to refute something, but if it were anyone else, he could forcefully refute it, but he couldn't talk nonsense in front of the eldest sister.

Seeing that Jiang Ping was silent, Jiang Xiao took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "Even I, a person who is not very involved in family affairs, know that you want to compete for the position of the clan leader. Don't your second and third brothers know?

?If they don't tell you, do you really think they are stupid? And your parents, don't they know what you are thinking?"

"..."

Jiang Ping lowered his head and still didn't speak. The atmosphere in the room immediately became very silent, even dead. After ten breaths, Jiang Ping raised his head again, spoke, and said to the eldest sister unwillingly, "Can I really not even fight?

If you can’t fight, are you willing to just give up your position to someone else?”
