Chapter 128 Miss Jiang thinks I am a good match
Chu Jingyue looked at Prince Chu, "Father, just kick them out of the house."
"Jingyue, why are you still speaking for him?" Prince Chu was puzzled.
Princess Chu couldn't help but frown, "Jingyue, he has already deceived us."
"But he is an imperial examination candidate after all, and if we punish him, it will definitely cause discussion after the news gets out."
Chu Jingyue's words calmed Prince Chu and Princess Chu down a little.
What Jingyue said was right. If they really dealt with the person like this, it would definitely cause discussion, and the fact that they almost arranged a marriage could not be concealed. If the news spread widely, the reputation of Jingyue and their Chu Palace might be damaged.
but……
"If we let him go like this, it would be too easy for him. And if he goes out and talks nonsense..."
Prince Chu narrowed his eyes, exuding a strong sense of pressure from head to toe.
"No, Your Majesty, I promise you that I will not say a word!" Wei Congze said hurriedly.
"Father, it doesn't matter. He has no evidence to prove his claims anyway. Even if he tells others, not many people will believe him. And even if he graduated from high school, he can't be a high-ranking official. As long as he dares to leak a word and let us hear some rumors, it will be easy for you to teach him a lesson." Chu Jingyue sneered and glanced at Wei Congze's family.
Wei Congze's heart trembled. He knew very well that Chu Jingyue's words were not meant to scare him. He had no backing or support. Even if he really passed the imperial examination and entered the court, it would be easy for Prince Chu to deal with him.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, don't worry, Princess. As long as you adults forgive me this time, I will keep my mouth shut and beg you to spare my life!" Wei Congze said while kowtowing to Prince Chu.
"You won't tell me, what about your mother and brother?" Princess Chu's eyes fell on Zhang.
"Don't worry, Princess. I can guarantee with my life that they won't say anything." Wei Congze looked at Zhang and the others hurriedly, "Mom, please promise that you won't say anything nonsense."
Zhang and Wei Conghai hadn't figured out the situation yet, but they were frightened and nodded quickly to assure him.
Although Prince Chu was still unhappy when he saw this, he still released the people and only asked his servant to drive all the Wei family members out.
Outside the palace, Jiang Suining's carriage stopped at the bend of the street. When she saw the Wei family members being driven out of the palace by the servants, she knew that everything was resolved and told the coachman to leave. However, as soon as the carriage turned around, it met Shen Yanxi.
Jiang Suining opened the car curtain first. Shen Yanxi was riding on the horse, looking at Jiang Suining with a smile in his eyes.
"Miss Jiang, what a coincidence, we meet again."
Jiang Suining raised his eyebrows, "Master Shen, do you believe what he said?"
These past few days, she always saw Shen Yanxi. Either he appeared at Ningxiu Restaurant or several other shops, or she ran into him by chance on the street. This coincidence was too much.
"Mr. Shen, do you have time? Can we chat?"
"Okay." Shen Yanxi agreed immediately.
After a cup of tea, Jiang Suining and Shen Yanxi sat by the window in a teahouse near the Prince of Chu's Mansion.
Today, Shen Yanxi was wearing a light blue robe. Although the style was simple, it made him look even more elegant.
Jiang Suining looked at Shen Yanxi's clothes. She had seen Shen Yanxi in the past few days, and his clothes were all different. It seemed that he paid great attention to his image. She didn't expect that Shen Yanxi had such a side.
"Miss Jiang, what do you want to say?" Shen Yanxi took the teapot and poured a cup of tea for Jiang Suining.
"Thank you." Jiang Suining nodded slightly, but did not reach out to pick up the teacup. Instead, he continued to look at Shen Yanxi, "What exactly does Mr. Shen want to do?"
"Why do you ask that, Miss Jiang?" Shen Yanxi asked with a smile.
"Mr. Shen, why do you have to pretend to be confused? You didn't just happen to pass by. You knew about Wei Congze's matter, and even secretly helped to promote it by using Lanyue Tower. Why?"
When Wei Congze appeared in Ningyue Pavilion that day, she asked Xier to find out. The reason why Wei Congze went to borrow money with interest so quickly was because he needed to go to Lanyue Tower to keep an appointment, and the invitation to Lanyue Tower was initiated by Shen Yanxi.
"Then why did Miss Jiang do so much?" Shen Yanxi asked, "It shouldn't be a coincidence that Wei Congze's mother and brother appeared in the Chu Palace."
"Indeed, it's not." Jiang Suining picked up the teacup in front of him and took a sip of tea slowly. "I had someone intercept Wei Congze's letter and then sent another one."
Even after they arrived in the imperial city, she arranged for people to keep an eye out and give directions to the Wei family so that they could find the Prince of Chu's Palace smoothly.
Wei Congze is desperate and will most likely turn his attention to the Chu Palace. No matter what reason he uses to ask for money, Jingyue will expose him in the end. However, even if that happens, it does not rule out the possibility that Wei Congze can coax the Chu Prince and his men with clever words.
If Jingyue can't defeat Wei Congze by using gambling and borrowing money at interest, then his family will be the next resort.
In their previous life, Wei Congze's mother and brother were scoundrels who wanted to get money from the Marquis's Mansion. They were greedy and shameless. Even though Wei Congze was good at disguising himself, his mother and brother might not be as good as him. They were only interested in getting benefits, so it was too easy for them to reveal their mistakes in front of the Prince and Princess of Chu.
With such a mother and brother around, even if Wei Congze behaved well, he would have to consider marriage carefully. As long as Prince Chu calmed down, no matter what excuse Wei Congze used, he would be able to find out.
However, seeing that family being driven out just now, it must have angered Prince Chu and others more than she expected. Maybe Wei Congze's reason was related to his family?
In short, this marriage is definitely not going to take place.
Jiang Suining came back to his senses from his thoughts and looked at Shen Yanxi again, "I did all this for Jingyue. Wei Congze is not a good match. What is Mr. Shen's reason?"
"What if I say that I just want to help Miss Jiang with a small favor?" Shen Yanxi stared at her.
Jiang Suining was stunned for a moment, and then asked again: "Master Shen, is there anything I can help you with?"
"No." Shen Yanxi shook his head and looked at Jiang Suining seriously, "Why do you think Wei Congze is not a good match for you, Miss Jiang? And you seem to be very sure of this."
Jiang Suining's expression remained unchanged, "Mr. Shen, just think of me as someone who can read faces."
"Fortune-telling?" Shen Yanxi smiled, "Can you tell me?"
Jiang Suining looked at Shen Yanxi and said, "Mr. Shen will be the top scorer in the imperial examination and will have a successful career in the government in the future."
"Then Miss Jiang, do you think I am a good match for you?"
