Your Majesty, please stop messing around.

Chen Xu is indeed not a good person!

However, he is a smart man!

He knows exactly what he wants and will do whatever it takes to achieve his goal!

Such people are often scary, but at the same time, such people are often very useful as a 'sword'!

He is cruel enough and can do it!

If used properly, this 'knife' can be of great use!

Lin Jiangnian did not expect Chen Xu to be loyal to him. A person with no bottom line like him could never be loyal to anyone!

Profit is always the biggest driving force!

Today, Chen Xu has no choice at all. He hugs Lin Wangfu's thigh tightly, surrenders in front of Lin Jiangnian, and obediently becomes a chess piece in Lin Jiangnian's hands. This is his only choice!

What he can rely on is the support of Prince Lin's Mansion!

Lin Jiangnian wanted to use Chen Xu to control the Chen family, and at the same time, he also wanted to appease the various families in Linjiang City!

These days, as Zhu Yan's family members were ransacked, and all the large families were arrested, these big families that had been inherited for decades collapsed.

As a result, the people in Linjiang City were panicked, and all the families were uneasy. Although Linwangfu used force to suppress it, the situation should not be underestimated.

If we continue to exert pressure, I'm afraid it will be counterproductive!

At this time, the most important thing is to appease the emotions of various families! At the same time, winning people's hearts is also essential.

And Chen Xu was Lin Jiangnian's move to win people's hearts!

…

"Your Highness is really good at making plans!"

In the backyard, Jinxiu Su gently held the railing under the eaves with her hands, her delicate body slightly bent forward, and looked into the courtyard, with some emotion on her beautiful and delicate face.

"Chen Xu has now become a traitor in the family. He betrayed his own uncle. Such behavior will be despised by others no matter what. But Your Highness, you still want to continue to support him to rise to power. This is a very subtle move..."

Sitting on the rocking chair in the courtyard, Lin Jiangnian raised his eyes and met a pair of exquisite beautiful eyes, looking at him with a faint smile. The girl has a delicate and beautiful appearance, and the smile on her delicate face makes her whole person extremely agile.

Under Lin Jiangnian's gaze, Jinxiu was leaning on the railing, looking slightly relaxed.

As her body bends forward, it can be seen that the perfection and heaviness wrapped under the light robe becomes more and more obvious, like the heavy ripe fruits hanging on the twigs.

Extremely dazzling!

Lin Jiangnian's eyes followed suit and he saw that the girl in his sight had a curvaceous body. The clothes wrapped around her slightly round and perky buttocks, which were clearly plumper than before.

Wherever he looked, Lin Jiangnian couldn't help but sigh.

Jinxiu seems to have matured a lot!

Compared with the slightly immature temperament in the past, she is now more mature and has a more elegant temperament. Whether it is appearance, temperament, or body, it seems that there have been considerable changes.

All these changes are naturally inseparable from Lin Jiangnian's perseverance and hard work.

Soon, Jinxiu under the eaves seemed to notice where His Highness's eyes were... His Highness's eyes became more and more unrestrained, and he could hardly cover them up!

Jinxiu was a little embarrassed, glared at His Highness, leaned back slightly and stood up, trying to cover up a little.

Lin Jiangnian then looked back with some reluctance and raised his eyebrows: "Oh?"

"What do you think of Miss Jinxiu?"

Jinxiu rolled her beautiful eyes: "Your Highness can hide it from others, but you can't hide it from your servants!"

Lin Jiangnian said: "Miss Jinxiu, please elaborate?"

"His Highness insists on supporting Chen Xu. It should be for other aristocratic families to see, right?"

Jinxiu looked at Lin Jiangnian.

Lin Jiangnian was noncommittal.

Jinxiu continued: "Your Highness supports him just to tell other aristocratic families. Even though Chen Xu became a traitor to the Chen family, he surrendered to Your Highness, but Your Highness accepted his surrender regardless of past suspicions. And with His Highness, your With support, even a traitor can become the leader of the Chen family..."

"In this case, it is impossible for people from other aristocratic families to remain unmoved!"

At this point, the faint smile reappeared on Jinxiu's face, and she said meaningfully: "Those direct descendants of the aristocratic families may not care, but for those collateral descendants and those from the aristocratic families who have almost no chance to stand out in their lives. For me, it’s different…”

"Even someone like Chen Xu who betrayed the Chen family can be accepted by Your Highness, and with your help, he can become the leader of the Chen family. How can those other people not be tempted? Are they not ready to make a move?"

Such is human nature!

Among the aristocratic families, there will never be a shortage of frustrated collateral children like Chen Xu!

Under normal circumstances, they would never have a chance to come forward in their lifetime!

But once the news that Chen Xu has become the leader of the Chen family comes out, it will inevitably change this result.

Even someone like Chen Xu, who betrayed his own uncle, became famous and became the leader of the Chen family after taking refuge in Prince Lin's Mansion!

What about them?

If they surrender to Prince Lin's Mansion, will they also have such an opportunity?

If they also betray the family leader and bring down the main lineage, will... they also have a chance? !

People within each family can never be monolithic. The larger the family, the more serious the factions and fights will be. No one would refuse to stab someone in their family if given the chance!

Especially this knife may even become a shortcut to success...

In the face of interests, family ties are extremely fragile!

Even if we take a step back, those people from various families would not be as crazy as Chen Xu and attack his own uncle. But as long as this news spreads, it will inevitably arouse suspicion, suspicion, and wariness among various families...

These aristocratic families in Linjiang City will definitely fall into more chaotic internal fighting. The main line will meet with the children of local collateral lines, and the children of the collateral lines will also weigh the feasibility of backstabbing...

In this way, the power of each aristocratic family can also be weakened, making them tired of fighting among themselves and consuming each other.

In any case, this is excellent news for Linwang Mansion!

Therefore, Jinxiu just felt that His Highness's move was quite exquisite!

"The analysis makes sense!"

Faced with Jinxiu's analysis, Lin Jiangnian couldn't help but praise: "If it weren't for Miss Jinxiu, I wouldn't have known that this prince is so intelligent!"

Jinxiu didn't understand the virtues of His Highness, so she rolled her pretty eyes and said angrily: "Your Highness really got an advantage and acted like a good boy!"

"Miss Jinxiu is really a roundworm in my belly!"

"Pooh!"

Jinxiu's face turned red when she heard this, and she couldn't help but spat: "Your Highness, please don't say such disgusting things. What a roundworm, not a roundworm, it's ugly!"

"How should I describe this prince?"

Lin Jiangnian said with a smile.

"have no idea."

Jinxiu rolled her eyes again.

Anyway, His Highness would definitely not be able to say two good things out of his mouth, so she wouldn't listen.

The afternoon sun slowly shone in the courtyard. Jinxiu stretched lazily, revealing her delicate willow-like waist, and then asked: "Your Highness, what are you going to do next?"

Lin Jiangnian blinked: "What is Miss Jinxiu asking about?"

"Serious side!"

Jinxiu's face turned red with embarrassment, and she didn't feel like stressing!

As soon as she looked into His Highness's eyes, she was keenly aware that something was wrong.

I have known His Highness for such a long time and have been honest with each other for a long time. Even various postures were almost forced to be unlocked by His Highness who was obscene... How can Jinxiu today fail to hear His Highness's hidden meaning?

Sure enough, it is absolutely correct that two of His Highness’s three sentences were not good words!

And the rest of the sentence must be dirty words!

"Seriously..."

Lin Jiangnian clicked his tongue, seeming a little regretful: "I have no plan."

"No plan?"

When Jinxiu heard this, she said angrily: "Is it possible that His Highness has all these illegitimate plans in his mind?"

Lin Jiangnian was immediately shocked: "Miss Jinxiu, you still said that you are not the roundworm in my stomach?!"

beautiful:"……"

"..."

"I really don't have any plans. This prince is just a playboy with no knowledge and skills. You think he can have any big future, right?"

"The turmoil in Linjiang City may continue for a long time, but it has nothing to do with me. With the prince here, everything is stable..."

"Isn't your princess going back to the capital? Didn't we agree before that I also happen to be going to the Jiang family in Chuzhou, so we happened to stop by..."

After teasing Jinxiu for a while, Lin Jiangnian talked about his next plan with Jinxiu.

I don’t have any plans!

To be precise, he couldn't discuss his next plan with Jinxiu in detail.

Now that the situation in Linjiang City has stabilized, he should go to the Jiang family in Jiangnan, Chuzhou. The condition of Mr. Jiang has not improved yet. Although I heard that it has not worsened yet, Mr. Jiang is already old and I don't know how long he can last. I heard that the situation in Jiangnan is also quite chaotic.

As the core figure of the Jiang family, Mr. Jiang will cause quite a stir once he dies. The situation in Jiangnan is complicated, and Zhiyuan and her aunt in the Jiang family may also be affected.

Due to emotions and reasons, Lin Jiangnian, as his grandson, had to go and take a look.

Lin Jiangnian had already mentioned this matter when he went to see Lin Hengzhong yesterday. Lin Hengzhong didn't say much about it. He just told Lin Jiangnian to be careful when he went this time and not to get involved in the Jiangnan fight easily.

At the same time, Lin Hengzhong was unable to escape, so he also asked Lin Jiangnian to visit Mr. Jiang and bring him greetings.

Of course, whether you can’t get away or don’t want to go, that’s worth considering!

Lin Jiangnian had previously learned from some elderly people in Linwang Mansion that the relationship between Lin Hengzhong and Mr. Jiang was not good. The relationship between the father-in-law and his son-in-law had always been tense. There were many things to learn about this matter. Speaking of years ago.

In the final analysis, it is still because of one’s origin!

At that time, Lin Hengzhong was not King Lin. He was from an ordinary background. Even if he had some success and prestige in the military, it was still far from enough. As for the Jiang family, as a big family in the south of the Yangtze River in Chuzhou, the gap between the two is like a chasm!

The dignified eldest lady of the Jiang family has fallen in love with a nobody!

This is my favorite plot in countless popular novels and dramas from ancient times to the present for thousands of years. But at the same time, there will always be parents who act as villains and beat up the mandarin ducks!

The Jiang family is no exception!

However, unlike many scenes of beating mandarin ducks, the eldest lady of the Jiang family did not give Mr. Jiang a chance to beat the mandarin ducks. The eldest lady of the Jiang family, who dared to hate and love, did not follow her like in those storybooks. The beloved eloped bravely and traveled far and wide to pursue true love!

Instead, the eldest lady of the Jiang family took Lin Hengzhong directly back to the Jiang family and in front of Mr. Jiang. In front of everyone, she said openly that he was her man!

When I heard about that time, the news caused a sensation in the entire Jiangnan family.

No one expected that the dignified eldest daughter of the Jiang family, who was favored by thousands of people, could do such a shocking act.

As for what happened later, it is not clear. At that time, Lin Hengzhong, who was not yet the King of Lin, went to the Jiang family alone. It is unknown whether he was broken by the old man Jiang!

But the final result was that the Jiang family agreed to the marriage!

However, although the marriage was agreed, the old man Jiang still looked down on Lin Hengzhong. Even though Lin Hengzhong later made great military achievements and was named a king of a different surname by the emperor, and his power was overwhelming, the old man Jiang still did not give him a good face!

And Lin Hengzhong was arrogant and was not convinced by the old-fashioned old man Jiang. The relationship between the father-in-law and son-in-law has always been very tense!

And after the death of Princess Lin, the relationship between the father-in-law and son-in-law took a sharp turn!

Over the years, there has been almost no intersection!

I think that the old man Jiang probably blamed Lin Hengzhong for his daughter's death. And Lin Hengzhong may have a little guilt in his heart, and he has hardly been to the Jiang family in these years!

And now that the old man Jiang is seriously ill, he may not live long!

The grudges of the past seemed to no longer matter!

…

"Your Highness, are you going with us?!!"

Jinxiu was extremely surprised when she learned that Lin Jiangnian was going to leave Linjiang City with them.

Originally, Jinxiu had been tangled and uneasy. Since she learned that the princess said she was about to return to the capital some time ago, Jinxiu has been uneasy.

Going back to the capital means separating from His Highness, but not going back to the capital means separating from the princess.

Jinxiu didn't want to choose either of these two options, but she had to choose!

Intelligence came from the capital that His Majesty's health was getting worse, and the princess had to go back quickly to avoid any mistakes.

And Jinxiu also made a decision and planned to accompany the princess back.

There was no shortage of women around His Highness, and Jinxiu had seen quite a few of them. Even without her, there were still many women around His Highness.

But the princess was different. There was only her and An Ning around the princess. In this case, she naturally couldn't abandon the princess.

Therefore, during this period of time, Jinxiu would come to see His Highness whenever she had time, just to take advantage of the last time to accompany His Highness.

She also hoped that His Highness would not forget her so quickly after they separated in the future!

But now, when she heard His Highness say that he would go with her and the princess, Jinxiu was overjoyed!

Even though she knew that His Highness would not go to the capital, it was undoubtedly good news for Jinxiu. This means that she can stay with His Highness for a while in the future!

"Great!"

Jinxiu was pleasantly surprised and immediately wanted to tell An Ning about this news.

But as soon as she turned around, she seemed to think of something.

Jinxiu stopped and the smile on her face faded slightly.

She stood there in a daze for a while, and when she looked at Lin Jiangnian again, her face had a more complicated expression.

"What's wrong?"

Lin Jiangnian was a little puzzled by Jinxiu's changes before and after.

"Your Highness, you are such a bad guy!" Jinxiu said quietly, glaring at him unhappily.

Lin Jiangnian: "?"

No, he was smiling just now, how come his expression changed in an instant?

Isn't his expression changing too quickly? !
