The queen is crazy and spoiled, and the tyrant bows to her

Chapter 550 Extra Thank You Banquet (7)

Jiang Wantang knew her parents' character best, and was afraid that they would take advantage of her marriage to ask for exorbitant prices, so she deliberately obstructed and made things difficult for them.

Furthermore, the Xie family of Yong'an Marquis's Mansion was of very high status, so there was no need for them to come in person, and the imperially granted marriage did not require their consent.

As for Xie Zhiyan, he knew that the Jiang couple were fake. Not only were they not relatives, but they were also enemies who killed his father and mother. Not killing them was already an act of extreme forbearance and restraint, let alone giving these shameless people any face.

Therefore, his marriage with Jiang Wantang only needed the efforts of Yong'an Hou, and he could use his power to suppress those villains in the Jiang Mansion.

After the people in the Marquis' Mansion learned that the Jiang family did not like Jiang Wantang, the second daughter of the countryside, and even forced her to marry in a substitute marriage and slandered her in public, they no longer had any intention of treating them with courtesy.

Xie Zhiyan personally sent Jiang Wantang back to the Jiang Mansion, and all the gifts in the twelve carriages were for Jiang Wantang alone.

As for the other people in the Jiang family, they had nothing.

In the carriage, Jiang Wantang sat far away from Xie Zhiyan, saying nothing, with his brows lowered, as if he was extremely tired, or as if he was thinking about other things.

Xie Zhiyan did not make any noise to disturb her. He sat opposite her and kept an eye on her all the time.

For her, a lot happened that day.

And he needs to give her time to accept all this.

When Xie Zhiyan sent the people back to Jiang Mansion, Wang Fuhai happened to deliver the decree to demote Jiang Zhixu. The plaque of the Prime Minister's Mansion was removed and it became Jiang Mansion.

Jiang Zhixu wanted to take the opportunity to ask Xie Zhiyan for help, but the latter didn't even look at him.

He sent Jiang Wantang back home and left without staying for long.

On the way back, Xie Zhiyan was sitting alone in the carriage, pretending to be asleep with his eyes closed.

At this moment, Zhao Hu, who was standing outside the carriage, said indignantly, "Master, it's only been a short time since the rumor spread throughout the capital that the Second Miss Jiang is in love with the Young Marquis Xiao and is threatening to commit suicide to seize the eldest sister's marriage. Are you really not going to do anything about it?"

Xie Zhiyan curled the corners of his lips slightly and slowly opened his eyes. A cold light flashed in his cold and deep eyes, and the aura around him became icy cold.

He said calmly, "Why should I care?"

"Not only did I not care, I even kindly ordered someone to lend them a hand. Otherwise, how could those incompetent people in the Prime Minister's Mansion achieve such an effect?"

There were quite a few guests and common people who witnessed the whole process at the Pingyang Marquis Mansion today. They were already suspicious, but the fool Jiang Wanfu was afraid that her reputation would be damaged. She couldn't wait to throw all the dirty water on her sister who was married off as a substitute, and also to establish a reputation for being kind and generous for herself.

Are you afraid that no one will know about your ugly deeds by making them known so openly?

Until tomorrow...

Xie Zhiyan sneered, a cruel look flashing in his eyes: "Since they like to fabricate and slander other people's reputations so much, then I will give them a taste of their own medicine."

"Jiang Wanfu loves fame and reputation, so I will completely crush her false glory and restore my Tangtang's reputation..."

Zhao Hu: Tangtang?!

What Tangtang?!

Could it be...

Zhao Hu suddenly shuddered and felt goosebumps all over his body.

It’s a pity that Zhang Long went out on a mission and hasn’t been seen yet. Otherwise, it would be a good opportunity for him to see if the master in front of him is possessed by a ghost?

Sure enough, this person just can't stand being nagged.

He was thinking...

The next moment, Zhang Long, dressed in a dark suit, appeared in front of him, scaring him so much that he almost fell off the carriage.

What the hell?!

Zhang Long had a serious expression on his face and ignored him. Instead, he lifted the curtain and bowed before getting into the carriage.

Inside the carriage, Zhang Long bowed and said, "Sir, I have rescued an Oiran named Yunshang from Hongyan Garden as per your instructions and have temporarily placed her in the other courtyard."

"Also..." Zhang Long suddenly lowered his voice, "As you said, the house outside the capital city is indeed..."

Hearing this, Xie Zhiyan's eyes suddenly turned cold, and his tone was piercingly cold: "Where is Qi Gui?"

Zhang Long said, "He has been secretly detained without alerting the enemy. He is just waiting for the next instruction from the Lord."

Then, Xie Zhiyan leaned over and whispered a few words in his ear.

After listening, Zhang Long slipped away again.

Xie Zhiyan did not return to the Yong'an Marquis Mansion, but went directly to the Dali Temple.

However, the Yong'an Marquis Mansion was also very busy, with people coming and going. Old Madam Xie, Marquis Xie Chong, the Marquis' wife and all the members of the Xie family were busy arranging Xie Zhiyan's wedding.

After all, the wedding of the prince of the Marquisate must be grand and lavish no matter how urgent it is.

That night, the moon is as bright as water, and the night is quiet...

Xie Zhiyan, accompanied by Zhang Long and Zhao Hu, quietly appeared in the backyard of Jiang Mansion.

The most remote and simple courtyard among them is Jiang Wantang's residence, which is adjacent to the utility rooms where the servants live.

When Xie Zhiyan sent her back home in the afternoon, he deliberately left two secret guards in the dark to protect her safety.

Even though he knew she was skilled in Kung Fu, he was still worried.

According to the spies, after Jiang Wantang returned home, the Jiang couple started to make trouble as soon as he left. Her younger sister also stood in the yard and cursed at her sister. The group quarreled in the yard for the whole afternoon.

Several people were implicitly cursing Jiang Wantang as an ungrateful person who had no regard for his family after climbing up the social ladder.

He was so greedy that he wanted to take all the gifts from the more than ten carriages sent by the Marquis' Mansion.

Although it was very noisy, fortunately his little fox was smart and didn't suffer too much.

However, when Xie Zhiyan heard this and looked at the lonely figure sitting alone in the yard, he couldn't help but tear up.

He felt so heartbroken, so heartbroken.

Several times I couldn't resist the urge to take the person away.

But, he can't do that yet...

Zhao Hu was watching outside, while Zhang Long stood beside Xie Zhiyan.

He stared at the light-colored figure in the distant courtyard, his eyes filled with unconcealable heartache and pity.

After a long while, Zhang Long couldn't help but ask curiously, "Sir, since you value the Second Miss Jiang so much and know that the Jiang family treats her badly, why did you agree to send her back?"

"Wouldn't it be better to keep her in the Marquis' Mansion and wait for the wedding?"

"A delicate and frail beauty like Miss Jiang, if left in this den of man-eating wolves, would probably be gnawed to the bone by them..."

Xie Zhiyan frowned, and there was a hint of coldness and hostility in his dark pupils, but he quickly restrained himself.

He took a deep breath and said calmly, "She won't be willing to stay in the Marquis' Mansion before the wedding."

Although he felt distressed and reluctant, he also wanted her to be herself and do what she wanted to do.

"The Jiang family..." At this point, Xie Zhiyan's voice suddenly turned colder, half of his face hidden in the moonlight. "Although they are shameless, in her eyes, they are still blood relatives after all, and she still treats them as family."

"She has longed for family affection for years, and even though she's heartbroken and disappointed in them, it's hard for her to let go of them all at once..."

"Only by making her see the true colors of these people can she completely give up on them."

Long-term pain is worse than short-term pain.

Only by letting her give up hope little by little now will it be less unbearable when the truth comes to light in the future.

Based on his understanding of the fake Jiang Zhixu, he would definitely not be willing to see Jiang Wantang marry into a family higher than Jiang Wanfu.

And his little fox is definitely not the type to just accept things as they come...
