Chapter 626 Worried about the Jiang Family
"Does the Imperial Concubine have any other instructions?" Jiang Suining glanced sideways.
"Nothing." Concubine Cheng smiled and shook her head. "I just want to remind Lady Jiang to keep your eyes open in the harem and not to stand on the wrong side. If you stand on the wrong side, it will be too late to regret it."
After all, Empress Shi was childless, and all her honor and status depended on the Emperor. Once something happened to the Emperor, Empress Shi would probably not have a good ending.
Empress Shi understood this clearly, which was why she was so nervous at this moment. And she believed that Jiang Suining also understood this clearly, and choosing to help Empress Shi was really a bad move.
However, although this choice was not wise for Jiang Suining, if Queen Shi really got the support of Jiang Suining and Shen Yanxi, it would not be good news for herself.
Jiang Suining looked at Concubine Cheng calmly and said lightly: "Your Majesty, you are joking. As palace ladies, we all obey the orders of the Emperor and the Empress and do our duty. How can we take sides?"
"That's good. After all..." Concubine Cheng smiled and lowered her voice very low. "After all, Jiang is still too young. She doesn't know that there are many ways to eat people without leaving any bones in the deep palace. Although you have a husband you can rely on, there is more than just your husband in your life, right?"
Jiang Suining's eyebrows jumped, and his inquiring eyes fell on Concubine Cheng's face, but the other party had already retracted her gaze and stopped talking.
After Jiang Suining and the others left, the expression on Concubine Cheng's face quickly darkened, and was replaced by one full of calculations and considerations.
Thinking of Xiao Yi's words in the Sky Prison, Concubine Cheng's heart rose to her throat again, but at this moment, she couldn't tell whether she was nervous or vaguely excited and expectant.
According to Yier, three days!
After three days, everything will be settled.
……
On the other side, Jiang Suining and others followed Queen Shi back to the palace.
Although Empress Shi was unhappy about the fact that Concubine Cheng had tricked her into leaving the palace smoothly, she did not blame Jiang Suining and the others.
After all, even she didn't expect that Concubine Cheng was so bold as to drug people in the palace.
After leaving Queen Shi's bedroom, the three of them all looked unhappy.
Wei Yao and Lu Yan's words were filled with indignation at the fact that Concubine Cheng had drugged them, while Jiang Suining was thinking back to what Concubine Cheng had said, feeling vaguely uneasy.
"I'll leave the palace first." Jiang Suining suddenly said.
Wei Yao and Lu Yan, who were talking, looked at her and asked worriedly, "Sui Ning, is there something wrong?"
"No." Jiang Suining shook his head. "I just want to go home and take a look. Please keep an eye on the things in the palace."
Although Jiang Suining didn't say much, seeing that her expression was not right, Wei Yao and Lu Yan hurriedly told her to leave the palace without worry.
After leaving the palace from the west gate, Jiang Suining got on a carriage and went straight back to the Jiang family.
Although it has not been long since they got married, Jiang Suining has not had much time to return to the Jiang family because he has already moved to the Shen family and has a lot of things to do in the palace and in business.
Zheng and Jiang Zhitong were very happy to see Jiang Suining suddenly return, but they were also a little worried.
"Sui Ning, shouldn't you be on duty in the palace at this time? Why did you suddenly come back?" Zheng asked anxiously.
Jiang Zhitong also hurriedly spoke up: "Yes, Suining, you look so hurried, is there something wrong?"
Jiang Suining looked at Zheng and Jiang Zhitong as usual, and was about to shake his head to comfort them and say that everything was fine, but after hesitating for a moment, he swallowed the words and decided to tell the truth.
In the lobby, after listening to Jiang Suining's explanation of the whole cause and effect of the incident, Zheng and Jiang Zhitong both understood.
"So you rushed back because you were worried that the imperial concubine would do something to me and your father?"
"Yes." Jiang Suining nodded. "Concubine Cheng's words may just be threats and intimidation, but I am still worried. The situation is different now. Concubine Cheng and the Fourth Prince regard Shen Yanxi and me as thorns in their eyes and flesh. They may really start with my father and mother."
"Sui Ning, don't worry. Your mother and I will be more cautious about these things, and nothing should happen. Just like you said, the imperial concubine might have just said it casually to threaten you." Jiang Zhitong comforted.
"That's right. Your father and I haven't grown up for nothing. We can protect ourselves, so don't worry. But you and Yanxi, from what you said, your situation is not good. You must be careful. If something really happens, don't be stubborn. You must put your own safety first." Zheng spoke earnestly.
Just now, when Sui Ning talked about the situation in the palace, although it was just a few words, she was already frightened.
If she had known this earlier, she should have persuaded Sui Ning to become a court lady. Although she might not be able to persuade her, it was really worrying to be involved in such a matter.
"Don't worry, mother. I will take good care of myself. You and father, on the other hand, must be more careful these days. After returning to the Shen family today, I will ask Yan Xi to send some people to protect you. As for Mu Shi, you must also remind him not to be alone when going to the shops on weekdays, and try to bring guards with him. And..."
Jiang Suining gave detailed instructions, trying his best not to miss any place.
Jiang Zhitong and Zheng listened carefully and felt relieved.
Originally, they had privately wondered whether Sui Ning would become a little distant from them after getting married, but now it seems that not only has he not become distant, but he has become closer to them and cares about them more.
After watching Jiang Suining get on the carriage and leave, at the gate of Jiang's house, Zheng said to Jiang Zhitong: "Master, since Suining just said that, you should stay at home for the next few days and have a good rest. Don't go out again. We are here to be prepared for any eventuality."
Jiang Zhitong was about to nod, but suddenly said, "No, I still have to go to the shop tomorrow. I received a big order a few days ago, and it's urgent. The goods must be delivered before New Year's Eve."
"These matters are naturally the responsibility of the shopkeepers of each shop. It's not necessary for you to go there in person."
"Shopkeeper Wang has caught a cold and has gone home to rest. I want to go and keep an eye on it myself. After all, the contract has been signed and there can't be any mistakes. Don't worry, ma'am. This is the only batch of goods. After the goods are delivered, we will close the shop and take a holiday. It's New Year's Eve, so we can spend the New Year at home and I will spend some time with you, ma'am."
Hearing her husband say this, Zheng had no choice but to nod her head. "In that case, bring more guards with you when you go, and be careful. Sui Ning is right. Regardless of whether it is a threat or not, we must be careful to prevent any eventuality."
Jiang Zhitong smiled gently, "Okay, I'll listen to you, Madam."
