"I'm afraid Mr. Zhang is overthinking it. After all, being asked to marry you is not a matter of honoring one's family.

If a fierce temper can avoid people like you, then I really hope that all the female members of my Chen family will have such a temper."

Chen Jian'an put down the wine glass in his hand, spread his legs and turned sideways to Zhang Pingyang, who was talking loudly, and mocked:

Zhang Pingyang had been drinking for three times, his face was red, and he turned to see who dared to offend him.

When he saw Chen Jian'an's face clearly, he shuddered subconsciously and was half awake from the wine.

He had just been beaten by Chen Jian'an, and the bruises on his body had not gone away. One of his back molars was knocked out, and now he had a toothache when he saw Chen Jian'an.

"Why are you everywhere? What kind of moral guardian are you? Even if I drink and brag, I will be unlucky enough to run into you.

What's the matter? You still want to take action today? I brought someone out today!"

Since he was beaten last time, he has been followed by at least four guards when he went out.

As soon as Zhang Pingyang finished speaking, the guards behind him glared at Chen Jianan and put their hands on the sword at his waist.

"What's going on, gesticulating?"

Zhang Pingyang pretended to be powerful and asked the guards to support him.

Chen Jian'an stared at him and slowly stood up.

Zhang Pingyang was startled by his actions and subconsciously stretched out his hands and put them on his chest.

Unexpectedly, Chen Jian'an just walked past him and went straight downstairs without even looking at him.

Zhang Pingyang was left holding his chest, looking like a fool.

The dandy boy who was drinking at the same table took a look at it and put down his hands, smiling dryly to save himself face:

"Haha, he must have been scared away, haha, haha."

Chen Jian'an walked out of the tavern and entered the alley next to him. A man wearing rough servant clothes appeared in front of him.

Having just seen him upstairs, Chen Jian'an came down in a hurry.

"Young Master, Eunuch Xu is... gone."

Chen Jian'an took a breath and pursed his lips tightly.

Although he had expected such an ending, he still couldn't help but feel pain in his heart. He asked in a hoarse voice:

"Who did it?"

If given the chance, I would definitely find a way to avenge him!

The boy said hesitantly:

"Yes, it was Jiang Guangyao's hand.

In the morning, he dismissed the people around him and interrogated Eunuch Xu alone. When he came out, Eunuch Xu had already lost his breath."

Chen Jian'an was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect this answer.

He didn't understand why Jiang Guangyao wanted to get involved in this matter. Could it be that he planned to use this opportunity to deal with Xichang?

Thinking of this, he touched his chin. If so, he might still be able to cooperate with him.

Jiang Guangyao is certainly not a good person, but things have priorities. The top priority is to get rid of the traitor Yan Mingxi first.

"Young Master, there is one more thing. General Huo was rescued by Vice General Jiang and his men.

The general is in a coma due to severe poison, and Vice General Jiang is afraid that they will be killed at the border, so he is secretly rushing back to the capital with the general himself."

"You didn't tell me about such a big thing earlier!"

Chen Jian'an's pupils shrank, and he raised his hand and hit him on the head.

There are no fewer people in the capital who want his life than at the border. Although there are enemies lurking in the dark at the border, it can be said that there are enemies everywhere in the capital!

He believed that had it not been for the lack of medical treatment and medicine at the border, Vice General Jiang would never have led General Huo into this dragon's den.

It is not easy to sneak into the city while avoiding people from the East and West Second Factory.

Chen Jian'an's eyes darkened, and after a few seconds of silence, he ordered the boy:

"Go back and tell father that I agree to the Jiang family's marriage."

For the current plan, there is no chance for him to hesitate anymore. He must use Jiang Guangyao's power to find a way to bring General Huo to Beijing.

"No, young master, cooperating with that old thief Jiang Guangyao is like seeking skin from a tiger. You should think twice!"

The young man raised his hands and gave advice.

Chen Jianxin had made up his mind and asked him to report back quickly. The young man had no choice but to run back to the Chen Mansion and tell Chen Shilang about the young master's consent to the marriage.

Chen Shilang smiled with satisfaction when he heard this, thinking that Chen Jian'an was indeed an obedient child, and his years of careful teaching were not in vain.

"Where is Jiang Guangyao? Go prepare gifts. I will leave to visit Jiang Mansion right away."

As Chen Shilang said, he got up and went to the warehouse to look for something he could take out.

With Jiang Guangyao's wealth and position, ordinary gifts might not be appreciated by other people, not to mention bringing them to propose marriage, but even if they were to drop by the house.

As for where Jiang Guangyao is now?

Naturally, he was still wrangling with a group of eunuchs in the West Factory.

"Chief Jiang, if I leave this person in your hands, I'll leave him alone. Shouldn't you give our family an explanation?"

Yan Mingxi really didn't expect that he would be tortured to death without taking care of him at a glance.

How dare he do that? He’s not afraid of the emperor’s censure!

Looking at Jiang Guangyao sitting opposite him, drinking tea with his legs crossed, Yan Mingxi wanted to strangle him to death.

If a witness is dead, what kind of role do you think you should be the chief judge? What a waste of time it is to judge!

Jiang Guangyao spit out the tea leaves in his mouth and responded without any guilt:

"Mr. Yan's words are unreasonable. The old eunuch was already half-dead when he was handed over to me. I just used two torturers at random and lost his vitality. Who can blame me?

The only thing to blame is that you were too harsh before, tsk tsk tsk, interrogation can’t beat people to death, don’t you understand sustainable development?”

After saying that, he looked at Yan Mingxi with disgust. His eyes didn't look like he was looking at his colleagues, but like he was looking at his useless subordinates.

Yan Mingxi didn't know what sustainable development was, but he knew that if he talked to him again, he would probably be furious.

After drinking half of the tea, Jiang Guangyao was invited out of the West Factory.

Yan Mingxi was afraid that if he stayed any longer, he would be tempted to prick his eyes.

As soon as Jiang Guangyao walked out of the gate of the West Factory, the deputy waiting at the door came to greet him. He cupped his hands and told him about Jiang Fu's big scene that morning.

Jiang Guangyao heard questions on his forehead, and his brows furrowed deeper and deeper.

Is he really talking about the daughter who is docile and well-behaved in front of him?

How is this even crazier than the "Jiang Fu" in the original book!

Is there something wrong with her education? When she was originally a vicious female supporting character, her reputation was not so bad.

After this child was raised by him, did he let himself go?

I have taught her well since she was a child, hoping that she would escape the fate of being a cannon fodder for love-minded people and be able to live freely and happily in a wider sky.

It’s not to make her become a vicious female supporting character with higher combat power! Fuck!

Jiang Guangyao was holding back her anger, her face was dark all the way, and she rushed to the door of her house in a furious manner.

The small vendors who were knocked over by him on the road could only admit that they were unlucky, and murmured in their hearts, could something serious have happened?

If not why the emperor's ministers were so flustered, it must have been Mingxia Pills.

Jiang Guangyao rushed to the door of his house, jumped off the horse, and looked up to see Minister Chen who had been waiting for a long time.

He held the horse and raised his eyebrows.

What's this old guy doing here? Could it be that he didn't have enough room in Jiang Mansion's cell and he came back to miss him?

When Chen Shilang saw Jiang Guangyao coming back, he greeted him with a shy smile.

Behind him were a few boys carrying large and small packages of gifts. When he came closer, he said straight to the point:

"Factory boss, let me tell you the truth. I came here today to ask you something because I have something to ask for.

Quanzi has been obsessed with your love since he came out of the palace, and I have been so tortured by him that I really have no choice, so I came to propose marriage today, hoping that the factory boss will make it happen."

Chen Shilang's face was full of sincerity. If Jiang Guangyao didn't know what kind of virtue his daughter was, he might have been moved by her.

It was a coincidence that he came. In the morning, Fuli made a big fuss and ruined her reputation. In the afternoon, she came to propose marriage?

If he really knew how to be on time, why didn't he just say: Mr. Jiang, I just came to take advantage of the situation today.

"Come in and talk."

Jiang Guangyao dropped these words and walked through the door first. Chen Shilang quickly followed with his people.

As Chen Shilang entered the door, Jiang Fu heard the news. She nervously asked Yao Niang, who had tipped her off:

"How does Daddy look on his face? Does he look like he agrees?"
