Chapter 361: It is not a good habit to look down on women
"Miss Jiang, you'd better stop talking nonsense. I brought you to the Ministry of Justice because of the banned books. What does it have to do with the Third Prince?"
Even though one could guess that the Third Prince was behind this matter, Miss Jiang was quite courageous to say it so bluntly.
There was a hint of surprise in Bai Xinan's eyes when he looked at Jiang Suining, but then he changed his mind and felt that she was fearless because of Shen Yanxi.
But it's also good this way. The more confident Jiang Suining is, the more it shows that she and Shen Yanxi are in love, and His Highness's goal will naturally be easier to achieve.
Bai Xinan came back to his senses and suddenly realized that Jiang Suining's gaze was still on his face, and his eyes suddenly darkened.
Jiang Suining looked at Bai Xinan, frowning and showing surprise, and then showing a look that it was okay, and guessed about 70% of what he was thinking.
With a light laugh, Jiang Suining said nonchalantly, "Master Bai said it was nonsense, so it is nonsense, but please send new bedding as soon as possible. In addition, it would be even better if you could bring some tea and writing materials."
"you……"
"After all..." Jiang Suining interrupted Bai Xin'an, "Who made me have a promising fiancé?"
There was a clear smile in Jiang Suining's eyes, and there was no complacency in her expression, which made Bai Xinan feel that the other party was not testing him at all, and did not care about his answer. All she wanted at the moment was those things.
After a moment's silence, Bai Xinan turned and left. Not long after, the things Jiang Suining wanted were delivered.
Although this was the prison of the Ministry of Justice, Bai Xinan knew that Jiang Suining was just dragged into the situation to threaten Shen Yanxi. He couldn't really treat her harshly, otherwise if Shen Yanxi joined the Third Prince's army, she might take revenge on him.
"Miss Jiang, the things you requested have been delivered. I hope you can..."
"Don't worry, Lord Bai. Since you're already here, I will naturally cooperate with you." Jiang Suining spoke very politely, pouring himself a cup of tea, and his tone already contained the meaning of driving him away.
Bai Xinan frowned again, but in the end didn't say much, turned around and left the cell.
Anyway, all he wanted was for Jiang Suining to stay in this prison obediently.
The news that Ning Mozhai was found to have banned books and Jiang Suining was thrown into jail to cooperate with the investigation quickly spread.
Because of Jiang Suining's previous reputation and character, most people did not believe this news.
On the Jiang family side, although Xier comforted them, Jiang Zhitong, Zheng and Jiang Mushi were still very anxious.
Naturally, they did not believe that Ning Mozhai had any banned books. Although they did not know the ins and outs of the matter, they immediately concluded that someone had framed them.
The family arrived outside the Ministry of Justice prison and wanted to see Jiang Suining, but Bai Xinan had already issued an order that the Jiang family was not allowed to meet Jiang Suining. The reason given was that he was worried that Jiang Suining would instruct the Jiang family to destroy the evidence.
Jiang Zhitong and the others were very annoyed, but they also knew that they couldn't cause trouble at this critical juncture, otherwise it would only add fuel to the fire.
Although the person they could rely on the most now was Shen Yanxi, and they knew that the other party was trying to find a solution, Jiang Zhitong and his team did not relax. After leaving the Ministry of Justice prison, they worked hard to find other ways.
They thought about Jiang Zhitong's business partners, the women in the Zheng family who he met, and Jiang Mushi's classmates and friends one by one, and they planned to visit anyone who had some connections.
In addition, Jiang Mushi also went to meet Lin Ziqing.
Lin Ziqing had a lot of information, and he suspected the Third Prince, but he had no evidence. And he had no idea how the banned books suddenly appeared in Ning Mo Zhai, so the two of them started to work together to investigate the cause and effect of the banned books.
In just half a day, the Jiang family seemed to be in an uproar.
In the Third Prince's mansion, Xiao Ling made Shen Yanxi wait for more than two hours before he came out to see him, but he sent the person away with just a few words.
"Your Highness, since you have taken so much trouble to arrange this, why don't you make your words clearer? With just a few words, will Shen Yanxi do as you wish?"
Seeing Shen Yanxi leave, Bai Xinan, who was hiding behind the screen, came out, somewhat puzzled.
Apart from the pleasantries and politeness, there was only one sentence left in the few words just now, "What will happen to Miss Jiang depends on the choice of Lord Shen." After all, Shen Yanxi is a new noble in the imperial court. Can such a few words, which are better than nothing, really convince Shen Yanxi?
You must know that this time, in order to frame Ning Mozhai and erase all traces, His Highness spent a lot of thought and effort.
"Although he didn't say anything, Shen Yanxi's attitude has been made very clear." Xiao Ling smiled and said to Bai Xin'an's doubts, "You know, he waited for more than two hours just now."
Shen Yanxi was a smart man, and he naturally understood that the reason he had not shown up for a long time was not only to show off his authority, but also to see how long he could wait for Jiang Suining.
For a whole half day, Shen Yanxi hadn't even had a sip of tea, but he still refused to leave. He also didn't clamor to see him, but waited quietly. This was enough to show how important Jiang Suining was in his heart.
And he believed that after such a long wait, Shen Yanxi must have made a decision in his heart. So when he showed up, there was no need to say anything more.
After hearing what Xiao Ling said, Bai Xin'an's face lit up, "It seems that I can congratulate Your Highness in advance. Shen Yanxi will definitely do as you wish, and Chu Yisheng will not make any unfavorable remarks that will reach the ears of the emperor."
"That's not enough." Xiao Ling shook his head. "We have to cut the grass at its roots. As long as Chu Yisheng is still alive, there is still a possibility that he will speak out. It is always a hidden danger. What's more..."
Xiao Ling paused for a moment, staring in the direction where Shen Yanxi left.
"Shen Yanxi is a rare talent who will surely have a promising future. Ever since he entered the government, this prince has wanted to recruit him for his own use."
It’s just a pity that all his attempts to win him over were rejected by Shen Yanxi. After the incident with the land in the west of the city, Shen Yanxi’s attitude towards him became even colder.
"Your Highness, what you mean is..."
"Since winning over is useless, we can only use threats. Keep a close eye on Jiang Suining, she is still very useful."
Shen Yanxi is good in every way except that he is too obsessed with love. He is willing to abandon his principles and make concessions for the sake of Jiang Suining.
In fact, he looked down on Jiang Suining at the beginning and even wanted to destroy their marriage and promote Shen Yanxi to marry the daughter of the Minister of Works.
But now it seems...
It is a good thing that Shen Yanxi is in love with Jiang Suining.
As long as Chu Yishen's life is on Shen Yanxi's hands, then even if Shen Yanxi is unwilling, he will have to serve him obediently.
Bai Xinan roughly guessed what Xiao Ling was thinking. He was born in a humble family and had worked hard to climb to the sixth rank in the Ministry of Justice. Being the third prince was the future path he chose for himself after careful consideration, but he never had a chance to show it.
Now that the opportunity has finally come, he naturally dared not be negligent in the slightest and immediately bowed in response.
"Yes, Your Highness, please rest assured. Jiang Suining is just a female relative and is now in prison. There will definitely be no mistakes."
"Okay." Xiao Ling nodded, his eyes filled with determination to win.
However, neither he nor Bai Xinan had ever thought that looking down on women was never a good habit.
