Prince, kneel down quickly, the lady can't run away

Chapter 188: Clamp Worm

"Maybe it will be rumored that you are the one who promoted it," Xiao Jue said nonchalantly.

"How is this possible? Go and explain this to me." Prince Xiao was pacing around anxiously.

"Father, I want to know why it turned out like this, you haven't told me yet." Wen Jiu still hasn't gotten the answer he wants.

"Because there are too many fish and shrimps being farmed, it rains almost all season long during the spring rainy season, and it is wet all year round. One day, clamp insects appeared in the river, killing most of the fish fry, and even the rice fields. The clamps are extremely sharp, and some people got deep cuts on their legs. Gradually, no one dared to go to the fields to farm, and soon that prosperous place began to decline..."

"In the end, the river overflowed, the crops failed, and soon they had to beg. By the way, Prince Yong's beloved daughter, the Princess of Fengyang, was given the title there. Now she lives in poverty with the prince, barely making ends meet with the help of Prince Yong. She has completely lost the glory that a princess should have."

"She and the Duke have been working together to govern the country, but the effect seems to be minimal..."

Rice fields, pinchers, could that be it?

"Thank you, father, for telling me. Since the emperor has already made up his mind, I think no one can stop him. Let's go and have a look on the day Jiu'er returns home." Wen Jiu bowed, glanced at Xiao Jue, and then stood up and left.

"Remember to say that I did not express any opinion then."

"Yes"

"Stinky boy... he didn't even say hello, and the two of them went out to eat. Did he find that the Crown Prince's Consort is pretty good?" Prince Xiao muttered in a low voice.

"Xuan Ling, find a way to get this to Big Brother." Blinked

"Yes," Xuan Ling took the note and went out

"What's so mysterious?" Xiao Jue asked unhappily. Why was he being so mysterious in front of him?

"Let him stay put. Can you send someone to relieve Fu Yichen and ask him if he has ever seen a trap worm? Is it this kind?" Wen Jiu said

"Oh, you need my help with this?" Xiao Jue held the book in his hand but hesitated to turn the page.

"So you don't get suspicious." After finishing the painting, he handed it to Xiao Jue.

"Qingfeng, do as you say." Xiao Jue didn't answer.

"Yes, Master," Qingfeng smiled and answered.

"be quick"

"Yes, Princess." Qingfeng took the order and left.

"Master, Qinghu has something to report."

Xiao Jue stood up and said to Wen Jiu, "Take a rest," then turned to Qing Hu, gave him a look, and followed him to the study.

"Speak," Xiao Jue uttered two cold words.

"Chu Yinan sent someone to report that on the wedding day, someone saw a beggar being packed up and sent to the Seventh Princess's Mansion."

"beggar?"

"Yes, Lord Chu originally thought that Yan Xiu had some secrets, so after returning from the Second Prince's Mansion on the day of the wedding, he sneaked into the two mansions."

"Go check the beggars"

"The beggar was thrown into a mass grave and died."

There was a ticking sound on the table. Xiao Jue's fingers tapped the table regularly, and then he chuckled, "Oh, check Yan Xiu thoroughly. I must have missed something before."

"Yes"

"Also... check Xiao Qing'er, and tell Li Yu to find a way to get the evidence to that old fox in Prince Yong's mansion after Su Jinyu is exiled."

"Yes"

As the sky darkened, the breeze returned with news.

"Has he seen it?" Wen Jiu asked

"Master, I have never seen it."

"That's right. He is from a wealthy family and one of the largest families in Jiangnan. It's normal that I haven't seen him before." She couldn't help feeling disappointed.

Xiao Jue saw this and said nonchalantly, "If there are people from Jiangnan who are in trouble, you can ask them.

"Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

"You didn't ask, go call Uncle Jiang over." Xiao Jue raised his hand.

Soon Uncle Jiang was invited

"This old servant greets the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess."

"Uncle Jiang, do you recognize this?" Wen Jiu showed him the painting.

"This... this is a trap bug. I wonder if there are some in Beijing too? It's a disaster, a disaster!" Uncle Jiang's eyes were filled with sadness.

"Is this a trap bug? Are you sure you didn't see it wrong? Look carefully." Wen Jiu was afraid that he would make a mistake.

Xiao Jue looked at Wen Jiu's abnormality with inquiring eyes.

"I'm not mistaken. This thing has almost taken over the entire Ganzhou County. There is also a kind that is even bigger than this one. Its shell is extremely hard. Ordinary insecticides can't kill it at all. They reproduce very quickly. I fled from there. I was originally a cook. Because our princess... loves to eat Jiangnan cuisine, I was later taken back to the palace by the prince to work." Uncle Jiang held the drawing paper and wanted to tear it up angrily, but because it was the prince's wife, he held back.

"Can you draw the other big one?" Wen Jiu's tone had unconsciously become lighter.

Is she happy? What is she happy about?

Xiao Jue looked at the woman in front of him who was speaking briskly.

"Ok"

Bai Zhi immediately brought the pen, ink, paper and inkstone and laid them out. Uncle Jiang picked up the pen without any hesitation. Such a smooth flow must have been deeply engraved in his mind.

It took him only a moment to finish the painting. He picked up the paper and blew on it. One corner of the paper was wrinkled.

Wen Jiu picked it up and looked at it, his smile became even more intense, "Uncle Jiang, don't be angry, there is always a way out, go down and claim your reward!" He smoothed out the wrinkled corner of the drawing paper.

"Thank you, Princess."

"What are you up to?" Xiao Jue watched her mouth gradually rise.

"You will know later" The smile in Wenjiu's eyes is bottomless

On the day of returning home, Wen Jiu went through the formalities at the Prime Minister's Mansion, and then went to the General's Mansion.

"Grandpa and Grandma"

"Aunt, Aunt"

"First cousin, second cousin, third cousin"

Wen Jiu and Xiao Jue said in unison

"Okay, okay, come in quickly." The old lady and the others had been waiting at the door long before they received the news.

"Grandfather and grandmother, you just need to wait in the house. Why are you standing at the door? This is really embarrassing for Jiuer and me." Xiao Jue was full of apology.

"That proves that our General's Mansion cares about Jiu'er. If father and uncle hadn't gone to the morning court, they would have been here too," Su Jinxiu said, looking at the servants behind him.

"Grandpa and grandma, let's go in." Wen Jiu held the two old people's arms, one on each side, with a happy face.

"Okay" the two elders replied lovingly

"Carry the things in, be careful," Qinglong ordered the servants.

"Yes"

"Oh, is this Princess An Ning coming back home? Shouldn't she go to the Prime Minister's Residence? Why is she here at the General's Residence?"

"I just went to the Prime Minister's Mansion, and not long after that I came to the General's Mansion. Everyone followed me along the way, and there were wedding fruits to eat."

"She should be called the Crown Prince's Consort. This Crown Prince Xiao is really generous. Didn't he say that he didn't like her before marriage? I think all men are the same after they get married, hahahaha"

"Stop talking nonsense, you're killing yourself"

“How many good things are these?”

"After all, it is the Xiao Palace, so their actions are extraordinary."

Everyone shared the fruits of joy and chattered about them.

When they arrived at the mansion, the couple was called to the study.

"Jiu'er, tell me, Grandfather, why did you ask your uncle to take the initiative to get Jin Yu to be transferred to Yandu? Isn't this obviously contrary to what you said about keeping the troops in place?" The old general asked with a smile, as if he saw through her thoughts.

"Well, grandpa seems to have seen through Jiu'er's intentions, but the emperor will definitely let my brother go to Ganzhou County, right?" Wen Jiu responded mischievously.

"With your intelligence, I don't believe you are not prepared."

"When big brother goes to Ganzhou County, you will know it naturally. Grandfather still allows me to keep it a secret." Wen Jiu smiled slightly.

“I believe in wine”
