Jiang Yi asked, âWhat else did they do?â
âUnwilling to just secretly be together, they also plotted to harm each otherâs partners, so they could be together forever.â
âThis⦠is too vicious!â Jiang Yi gasped.
âDoes Third Brother still think they are wronged?â
âNot at all. However, the families of both parties donât seem to know about this yet?â
âThat doesnât matter, as long as they find out about their secret affair, their families should be on guard. My main goal is to frame the Crown Prince. As for Madam Wang and Zhang Wang, itâs just an incidental act of ridding the people of harm.â
âSeventh Sister, youâre really ruthless.â
âStill, itâs Third Brother whoâs truly ruthless. Without your help, I alone wouldnât have been able to deal with the Imperial Guards around the Crown Prince.â
âItâs nothing.â Jiang Yiâs modest words belied his smug expression. âThe men I borrowed from the main house have been trained by Uncle for years. Theyâre not only skilled in martial arts but also extremely loyal, so they wonât leak any information.â
âUncle is really impressive then.â
âNaturally, you might not remember what he looks like. Once heâs back, youâll know. Uncle is even more outstanding than our father.â
âWasnât he supposed to come back during the New Year?â
âThe border situation was tense last year, so he couldnât return. He should be able to come back in two months.â
âThatâs great, I must thank General Jiang in person.â
âUncle is not easy to please, heâs cold to everyone. But maybe you can do it.â
âWhy?â
âBecause Uncle loves good food. With your cooking skills, it shouldnât be a problem to win him over.â Jiang Yi smacked his lips, âBut there is a small regret.â
âWhatâs the regret?â
âWith the abilities of those dead warriors, handling the people around the Crown Prince would have been a piece of cake. Itâs a shame we only knocked them unconscious. But then again, this is better.â Jiang Yi couldnât help but laugh, âSeventh Sister, how did you think of using bricks to stun them?â
âBricks can be found everywhere, using weapons would leave traces.â
âIf Uncle knew that his carefully trained men, skilled in eighteen types of weapons, used bricks to hit people, he would probably vomit blood.â Imagining the cold-faced General Jiang spitting blood, Jiang Yi couldnât help but burst into laughter.
The siblings took turns outdoing each other in their craftiness.
Jiang Yi slapped the table, âItâs all well and good, but your method of sending small notes is simply ingenious! You have no idea, the Crown Princeâs face turned green when he saw the small notes fluttering everywhere.â
âI knew heâd be furious, so I deliberately arranged for some painters nearby to capture his angry side, so that Changâan Cityâs officials and common people would know the true nature of their Crown Prince.â
âThe Crown Prince really had bad luck running into you.â Jiang Yi finished laughing and said in a serious tone, âBut we must be careful and watch out for the Crown Princeâs retaliation.â
âHe wonât find any evidence. If Iâm not mistaken, heâll target the Prince of Wei next.â
âWhy?â
âGuess. If itâs a coincidence, itâs purely accidental.â
âHaha.â Jiang Yi laughed, âSeventh Sister, youâre so interesting. I now understand why Wenren Zong was smitten with you at first sight, and why the Prince of Yu remains so infatuated with you. Itâs a pity youâre my sister, otherwiseâ¦â
âOtherwise what?â
âI would marry you, you little devil!â Jiang Yi said with a laugh, put down the teacup, and stood up, straightening the wrinkles in his clothes. âNo more joking, Mother is still talking with the host in the front hall, we should go there too..â
