Dressed as the villain's stepmother

"Only after something is done will you know whether it is of any use. General Cheng, if Prince Xiang's Mansion and the Crown Prince Xue Yin die unjustly because of your hesitation, will you be able to continue your life with peace of mind, General Cheng?"

The Cheng Xu in front of her made Jiang Lianzhu almost think that she had found the wrong person. In her impression, leaders who were leaders usually had a decisive personality.

"Girl, you have no right to criticize my principles of conduct here!"

Cheng Xu was a little angry. He threw the teacup heavily on the table, looked at Jiang Lianzhu and Liao Yunchuan who were pressing him step by step, and retorted with a sneer.

"You two have never lost anything because of your reckless actions. Naturally, you think that you only need to be bold to do things. Little do you know that there are huge risks behind every reckless decision."

"This general does not want to take unnecessary risks for the sake of an uncertain solution."

As a general, Cheng Xu was once young and frivolous. It was not that he was so cautious and thoughtful from the beginning.

However, after the death of my parents at home, I realized that being bold requires paying a price.

In the past, his father and mother were brave, but in the end, his Cheng Xu family was ruined.

At this point, Cheng Xu knew that he needed to act with caution.

"Unnecessary risks? General Cheng, could it be that the lives of hundreds of people in Prince Xiang's family who once helped General Cheng were what you call unnecessary risks?"

Jiang Lianzhu disagreed with Cheng Xu's remarks.

Human life is the most important thing, and only when people are alive can they have a future.

The rest is just talk.

"General, does he know the true nature of Prime Minister Xiao? He has always been ruthless and unscrupulous. Are you going to watch with your own eyes the innocent family of Prince Xiang's Mansion suffer disaster and die unjustly?"

"General, you have spent your whole life fighting on the battlefield for the common people in this world, even if you are wrapped in horse leather, everything you have done in the past was to let more people live a peaceful life, and the hundreds of people in Prince Xiang's Mansion are also like this. The common people in Kyoto, do you have the heart to compromise with their lives?"

Jiang Lianzhu was disappointed.

She originally thought that when she met Cheng Xu, even if the other person's personality was cautious, he should never look like Cheng Xu in front of her.

"Of course I know what kind of character Prime Minister Xiao is."

Cheng Xu said this very softly. If not for the guests at the tea stall who had already left, Jiang Lianzhu might have missed this soft sigh.

If there is someone in this world who really hates Prime Minister Xiao for investing in shares, that person must be Cheng Xu.

Because his parents were killed by the Prime Minister.

As a member of the Cheng family, he would never spare the Prime Minister lightly, but now was not the time. If Prime Minister Xiao could not be killed with one blow, then any evidence before him would be meaningless.

"I know that you two are sincerely looking for me to return to Prince Xiang's Mansion."

"However, I cannot agree to your request."

Cheng Xu made his position clear again.

Cheng Xu had heard about the familiarity and closeness between Liao Yunchuan and Prince Xiang's Mansion in Kyoto before.

Jiang Lianzhu also has a close relationship with Prince Xiang's Mansion.

Seeing that these two people specially invited him out to rehabilitate Prince Xiang's Mansion, Cheng Xulin revealed to them his subsequent arrangements for Prince Xiang's Mansion.

"Your Majesty knows very well that Prince Xiang's family has been wronged, so he will not directly execute Prince Xiang's family. I have already made arrangements in the court, and when the time comes, someone will stand up and intercede on behalf of Prince Xiang's family."

"Your Majesty will take advantage of the situation. Even if the Prince Xiang's family does not have the evidence you have, they will only be sentenced to exile."

"Today you two are sincere to Prince Xiang's Mansion, and I am here to explain to you that after Prince Xiang's Mansion and his family are exiled, I can guarantee that they will not be disturbed by power for the rest of their lives, and will live in a peaceful place, prosperous Live the rest of their lives happily."

"You all know very well that Prince Xiang is a human being. He has never wanted to fight against power. It would be best for them to stay away from power disputes after being exiled."

Although Cheng Xu did not agree to help Prince Xiang's Mansion in the same way as Jiang Lianzhu and Liao Yunchuan.

But he will not sit idly by on this matter.

"..."

After Jiang Lianzhu heard this, she did not advise Cheng Xu.

Because after this conversation, she already knew that the person in front of her would not change his mind easily.

At the same time, Jiang Lianzhu would not agree with Cheng Xu's approach.

A person who clearly did nothing wrong was sent to a prison, tortured, and eventually exiled for no reason. Even if it turned out to be what Cheng Xu promised, Jiang Lianzhu didn't think it was right. Well done to Prince Xiang’s Mansion.

Although Prince Xiang and the Crown Prince were not interested in disputes over court rights, this did not mean that they needed to live with the stigma throughout their lives.

"General Cheng, I only know that the four members of Prince Xiang's family are innocent. The innocent people should be cleared of their grievances and released immediately!"

Jiang Lianzhu put away the evidence on the table.

"Since General Cheng is different from us, let us each use our own abilities to clean up the stain on Prince Xiang's Palace. When the court opens in three days, I will bring the evidence I have collected and personally plead guilty to His Majesty Prince Xiang's Palace."

Liao Yunchuan even spoke frankly.

He is now a dead man on the surface. If he shows up in front of others, he is ready to risk everything.

"I'm sorry to disturb you today, General Cheng. Please take my leave."

Liao Yunchuan and Jiang Lianzhu stood up and left directly. At this time, Cheng Xu had a rare look of surprise on his face.

In fact, before Cheng Xu arrived in the capital, he already knew that Jiang Lianzhu had been inquiring about him for the affairs of Prince Xiang's Mansion.

The connection between Prince Xiang's Mansion and him was that Cheng Xu became a great help in clearing Prince Xiang's charges.

He thought that after he rejected the two of them, following Jiang Lianzhu's previous approach of eagerly seeking information, they would not give up so easily anyway.

"The girl has spent a lot of effort to meet with this general. Is it possible that she gave up halfway like this? I'm still waiting to hear you persuade me to come up with evidence and work with you to bring down the Prime Minister's Mansion?"

Jiang Lianzhu sneered in her heart.

Cheng Xu is really weird. They advance and he retreats.

Now that they gave up, Cheng Xu took a step forward.

"General Cheng, I tried every possible means to see you. However, it was also because my husband was killed in the explosion and I had no evidence in my hand. I needed General Cheng to help me in times of need."

"But it's different now. We already have evidence in our hands. The evidence in the general's hands is just the icing on the cake. I came here today because I want to beat the dead dog on the day of impeachment of the prime minister."

"Since the general doesn't want to, he won't force it."
