Died In Infancy! My Wife Is Actually A Villain

Chapter 040 Dad, Why Are You Here?

The next day.

Jin Wang Gu Tianming sent the steward of the palace to deliver twenty taels of gold to the Duke Zhen's palace as promised. However, before the steward came to report, Duke Zhen Guo and Jiang Quan, the Minister of Rites, who had returned from the morning, noticed them.

"Who are you? What are you doing in our government?"

Duke Zhen Guo frowned slightly and scanned the butler's body with his sharp eyes.

The housekeeper recognized the identity of the old man in front of him, and immediately walked to him respectfully, saluted several people, and said: "Young Yang Wei has met the Duke and the Lord. This time I came to the Duke's Mansion on the order of my Highness. , give these twenty taels of gold to Miss Jiang?"

Your Highness, Miss Jiang?

A trace of solemnity flashed in Duke Zhen's eyes, and he asked again: "Who is your highness? Who is Miss Jiang you are talking about?"

The housekeeper said: "The younger one is the housekeeper of Prince Jin's residence, and my Highness is the Sixth Prince, His Highness Prince Jin. These twenty taels of gold are given to Miss Jiang Anran of the residence. Please accept your permission."

"No, you take all the gold back. As for His Highness Prince Jin's wishes, I will accept it for you."

As soon as he finished speaking, the Duke of Zhen directly refused.

"this...."

The housekeeper didn't seem to guess why the Duke of Zhen was so angry, and couldn't help asking: "Your Majesty, Your Highness asked me to hand over these twenty taels of gold to Miss Jiang. Please don't embarrass me. .”

"If I say no, I can't. You go away quickly and don't come to give me gifts in the future. Otherwise, you will have trouble with me!" Zhen Guogong replied coldly.

The attitude is extremely tough and cannot be questioned.

Prince Zhuang's Mansion and Prince's Mansion are in separate camps and are hostile to each other.

The Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion had made good friends with Prince Zhuang's Mansion before, and gave his most favored granddaughter to Prince Zhuang to marry him.

But His Highness Prince Jin has always been close to the Prince's Mansion, and he is obviously not the same person.

If the other party sends a gift to the Duke of Zhen at this time, if it is seen by an interested person and spreads to the ears of King Zhuang Gu Chen, resentment and suspicion will inevitably arise.

Although he didn't know what His Highness Prince Jin meant by this move, there was absolutely no way he would accept the other party's favor and make Prince Zhuang suspicious.

Seeing that the group of people on the opposite side were unwilling to leave, Zhen Guogong was too lazy to talk to them anymore, turned around and walked towards the mansion.

He had to ask Jiang Anran, this stupid girl, when did she get involved with His Highness Prince Jin.

Returning to the mansion, Duke Zhen Guo turned to look at Jiang Quan next to him and said in a low voice: "Ask that girl to come over to see me?!"

The voice was clearly filled with suppressed anger.

"yes."

Seeing that his father was angry, Jiang Quan also knew that the matter was serious and immediately rushed to the inner courtyard.

Soon, Jiang Quan came to the room where Jiang Anran was.

With a "clang" sound, the door opened heavily.

The sudden noise immediately attracted the attention of Jiang Anran inside the house. He looked up and saw Jiang Quan walking in from outside the house.

"Dad, why are you here?"

"It's not a good thing you did!"

Jiang Quan glared at Jiang Anran fiercely, but seeing the innocent look on his face he couldn't bear to blame him, so he could only ask in a low voice: "Tell me quickly, what's going on with His Royal Highness Prince Jin? Why did he send someone to give you money today?"

"Dad, how did you know!" Jiang Anran looked at the other party with the same surprise.

"Not only do I know, your grandfather also knows, and he is waiting for you in the main hall now."

Jiang Quan glanced at Jiang Anran helplessly, and said earnestly: "Anran, tell your father quickly, how did you get involved with His Highness, Prince Jin? This matter is not as simple as you think, you'd better give it a try. Tell dad clearly, and dad can help you say a few words in front of grandpa later."

It is normal for Jiang Anran to stay in her boudoir and not know about the things going on in the court.

But now that she has a relationship with His Highness the King of Jin, it is completely unfair to the Duke of Jin!

Seeing Jiang Quan's anxious look, Jiang Anran didn't dare to hide it, and said quickly: "Actually, it's nothing. I just heard that His Highness King Jin has a foot disease. I happened to like to see some medical skills when I was at home, so I went to Jin." The palace checked it out for him once, and the effect seemed to be okay. As for the gold, it should also be the medical treatment money sent by His Highness Prince Jin."

"You're confused! How can you, a girl, treat His Highness Prince Jin? Are you going to stop caring about your innocence?"

Jiang Quan's face suddenly fell, and he looked at Jiang Anran with great sadness, and said: "And your sister is now married to Prince Zhuang's Mansion. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion is close to Prince Zhuang's Mansion. You go and get to know him at this time." Didn’t His Highness, Prince Jin, push Duke Zhenguo into the pit of fire? If there are some rumors spread outside, I’m afraid it will affect the relationship between our two families. "

"Alas! An Ran, what you did this time was really stupid."

After listening to Jiang Quan's explanation, Jiang Anran swallowed silently, feeling slightly uneasy.

To be honest, she really didn't consider the stakes.

When I went to Prince Jin's Mansion to treat the other party's foot disease, I also wanted to get a large amount of medical money from the other party.

But now after her father mentioned it, she suddenly realized that the Beijing area she was in seemed more complicated than she had imagined, and she had to be careful at every turn.

If you are not careful, you may offend someone.

"Dad, is grandpa blaming me now?" Jiang Anran said worriedly.

"You must be angry, but you are his granddaughter after all, so I shouldn't be too harsh on you. And if what you just said is true, it means that you don't have much contact with His Highness Prince Jin, and you should only be regarded as a Misunderstand."

Jiang Quan shook his head, feeling a lot in his heart, and then said: "Let's go, follow me to see your grandfather first, and try to explain it to him as clearly as possible later."

"All right."

Jiang Anran nodded and immediately stood up and followed Jiang Quan.

In a short time, the two of them arrived at the main hall.

"Kneel down!"

Jiang Anran had just walked through the door, and before she could salute and say hello, Duke Zhen Guo looked directly at her and scolded her loudly.

Seeing this scene, Jiang Quan immediately stood in front of Jiang Anran and quickly explained: "Father, Anran actually did this unintentionally, and she has nothing to do with His Highness King Jin? Please don't get too angry, lest you It hurts the heart and lungs.”

Seeing Jiang Quan speak for Jiang Anran, Duke Zhen sat back helplessly and said helplessly: "Sooner or later I will be made sick by you guys."
