The eldest lady is reborn, get out of the way!

"This old fellow Xie Ji is really a thief with a heart of his own."

Jiang Zhiyue was filled with hatred.

From Lin Jingqiu's confession and recent events, Jiang Zhiyue was certain that the man behind the destruction of the Duke of Yingguo's Mansion was Prime Minister Xie.

Now, at the critical moment when my sister is about to give birth, the incident in Jiangnan Road happened.

But the news had already spread, and it was said that King Xuan was the most suitable candidate for the imperial envoy.

If the sword had not been pointed at King Xuan later, Jiang Zhiyue would not have been able to guess whether this incident was man-made or a coincidence.

Jiang Zhiyue quickly thought about the current situation in the court.

To investigate the corruption of the Governor of Jiangnan, one must be an official of high enough rank, or someone with sufficient experience in officialdom.

On the surface, King Xuan was indeed suitable.

But Jiang Zhiyue also knew very well that there were many people in the court, and King Xuan was definitely not the most suitable person.

The difficulty of the matter lies in the fact that rumors have already pinned the blame on King Xuan, which is a form of coercion based on public opinion.

If King Xuan accepted it, no matter how well he did in this matter, he would not receive much praise.

I just think that this is what King Xuan should do as a prince.

If King Xuan does not take over, and the person who takes over is not as famous as him and does not do the job well enough, there will definitely be rumors spreading back.

Word spread that what would happen if King Xuan went in person was this and that.

The people did not know the truth, and if such rumors spread too much, it would be very disadvantageous to King Xuan.

Jiang Zhiyue could almost imagine how difficult this matter was.

Chang Ying saw that Jiang Zhiyue's brows were so furrowed that they could pinch a mosquito to death, so he served her a cup of Qingxin tea: "Miss, have some tea."

Jiang Zhiyue knew that it was useless to just worry, so he picked up the teacup and took a sip.

I don’t know whether the Qingxin Tea was really effective or Jiang Zhiyue calmed down.

She suddenly thought of a very suitable candidate.

Jiang Zhiyue hurriedly stood up, picked up her skirt and went to Chunhui Hall.

I'm afraid I'll have to ask my grandmother to step in on this matter.

When Jiang Zhiyue rushed to Chunhui Hall, Jiang Tiyu and Jiang Erye had also arrived.

Master Jiang looked at Jiang Zhiyue with a smile: "Xiao Achan, why are you so anxious?"

Jiang Zhiyue was stunned. She had already received the news, so how could her second uncle not know?

Jiang Zhiyue asked tentatively: "Second Uncle, have you heard the rumors in Beijing?"

Master Jiang smiled and said, "Achan is well-informed, go in first."

Jiang Tiyu also smiled gently at her sister.

Jiang Zhiyue was a little confused, but seeing that her brother and second uncle looked calm, she decided not to mention it for the time being.

As soon as they entered the inner courtyard of Chunhui Hall, the old lady ordered Nanny Cheng to serve tea to everyone.

The Duke of England and the old lady sat at the top, followed by Master Jiang Er, and on the other side were Jiang Tiyu and Jiang Zhiyue.

Jiang Zhiyue looked at the expressions of his elders, and they all seemed very peaceful.

In such an environment, she gradually calmed down.

The three elders all observed Jiang Zhiyue's expression intentionally.

Seeing that the impatience in her eyes had faded and her expression was calm, they all smiled.

Jiang Tiyu coughed first and said, "Achan came here in a hurry, but what's the urgent matter?"

Jiang Zhiyue stood up, bowed, and said, "Achan has heard about the Jiangnan Road incident. If King Xuan is on a diplomatic mission, I am worried about my sister."

Master Jiang nodded: "Indeed. Then Ah Chan thinks, if King Xuan doesn't go, who is suitable?"

The old lady also looked at Jiang Zhiyue, waiting for her answer.

The Jiang family does not just teach their children to study, such as what happened today.

Achan was worried, so if she came to ask, the elders would naturally not hide it.

I also want to ask her what she thinks.

The Duke of England's family is in a high position of power, so it is natural for the children in the family to have some understanding of the political situation.

Old Lady Yan was taught this way by her family elders, and naturally she treated her own children the same way.

Jiang Zhiyue's generation was no exception.

Jiang Zhiyue glanced at Duke Yingguo and said, "If it comes to personal reasons, I think Second Uncle is the right person."

Master Jiang chuckled and jokingly bowed to Jiang Zhiyue: "Thank you, Master Achan, for thinking highly of my second uncle."

"Unfortunately, my second uncle's official position is not high enough. If he were to go on a diplomatic mission, I'm afraid he would have trouble convincing the people."

After hearing what Mr. Jiang said, Duke Yingguo glared at him.

Mr. Jiang was a tough guy and didn't take the Duke of England's little trick seriously at all.

In front of my mother and the younger generations, does he dare to do anything to me?

Jiang Zhiyue's nervousness was alleviated by Mr. Jiang Er's joke, and he said, "I did think of someone just now."

Old Lady Yan smiled, "Oh? Ah Chan, tell me about it."

"The person Ah Chan is thinking about is Uncle Yan."

"Uncle Yan is one of the Three Dukes. He has enough prestige and experience."

"If he is willing, he would be more suitable than King Xuan."

Old Lady Yan smiled when she heard this. Her nephew was indeed suitable, but...

"Achan, don't you think about it anymore? Are there any other candidates?"

Old Lady Yan reminded: "There are many civil officials in the capital, even those around you, you can also think about it."

After hearing the old lady's reminder, Jiang Zhiyue realized that the person he had chosen might not be good enough.

After all, King Xuan is a prince.

The Duke of England was not in a hurry as he saw his little daughter thinking so intently.

Mr. Jiang Erye and Jiang Tiyu were each drinking a cup of tea.

Jiang Zhiyue noticed something from everyone's actions.

She suddenly realized, "Duke Lu!"

Duke Lu was born into the Lu family. His wife was the eldest princess from the royal family, and his younger brother was also a general with military power.

His son Lu Qingxiao is the confidant of Emperor Rong'an and a famous war general of this dynasty.

Who could be more suitable than Duke Lu?

Jiang Zhiyue finally figured out where the flaws were in his choice of candidate.

Uncle Yan is indeed one of the three highest officials in the country, but he does not have much connection with the royal family.

If there is any reason, it should be traced back to a hundred years ago, when the Yan family had a queen.

When the Duke of England heard his daughter mention Duke Lu, he immediately smiled and said, "Father knew that Ah Chan would be able to guess it."

Jiang Zhiyue looked at her grandmother sheepishly and said, "Thanks for your advice, grandma."

Old Lady Yan smiled kindly: "There is nothing wrong with what Ah Chan is thinking. It's good that you can think of it."

Master Jiang smiled warmly: "What a pity, our Ah Chan is just a little girl."

"If I were a boy, I would have to lean behind you when picking up jade."

The praise from the elders made Jiang Zhiyue blush and she felt a little embarrassed.

She thought of the key point again, and suddenly came to her senses and asked, "Could it be that Duke Lu volunteered?"

Otherwise, with her father's hot temper, wouldn't he be at home greeting Xie Ji's entire family?

Why is it so quiet today?

Mr. Jiang laughed and glanced at Duke Ying with a sidelong glance, "That's right, someone brought up the issue of Jiangnan Road at the morning court today."

"Most of the words refer to King Xuan's mission as an envoy, and Duke Lu volunteered to go."

Jiang Zhiyue opened his eyes wide in surprise, "And then?"

The Duke of England laughed heartily: "Your Majesty agreed on the spot. The look in that old dog Xie Ji's eyes really made me happy."

Jiang Zhiyue lowered her head and smiled, and she said, there is no way that father would not scold Xie Ji.

Well done!
