The mind-reading sick prince led me and the system to go crazy

"Looking at Lord Shi's expression, he seems a little reluctant!"

A rough voice suddenly came from outside, and Liang Shenlin strode into the lobby with a slightly gloomy face and a big knife tied around his waist.

Hearing this, Bai Qiuyuan raised his eyes and glanced at Liang Shenlin. His calm gaze paused for a moment on the big knife at Liang Shenlin's waist before he slowly looked away.

Bai Qiuyuan: "General Liang is here."

"I'm a little late, please don't blame me, Lord Bai and Lord Shi."

Liang Shenlin sat down directly next to Shi Weian.

Suddenly, there was a "pa" sound, and Liang Shenlin seemed to accidentally slam the big knife on the table.

Shi Wei'an: "..."

Is this an attempt to threaten him?

I learned earlier from the letter from Steward Shi that a general named Liang was coming with 500 elite soldiers. I guess that was the General Liang in front of me.

Although Shi Weian had taken root in Jiangnan for a long time, he could not enter Shengjing at will without the emperor's order. Because of this, Shi Weian had never met General Liang.

Bai Qiuyuan's official position was promoted during these three years. Before that, Shi Weian did not know that the Ministry of Justice had a new assistant minister named Bai.

What Shi Weian knew now were only the news he received during the past two days when he sent people to contact his spies in Shengjing.

"General Liang is joking."

Shi Wei'an picked up the teacup, lowered his head slightly to hide the anger in his eyes, and spoke in a gentle tone that seemed to contain a hint of smile: "Since this is Master Bai's business, of course I am willing to cooperate, but I don't know..."

At this point, Shi Weian paused, frowning slightly, as if he had thought of something difficult: "Lord Bai and General Liang are new here, so they don't know. Although I am the governor-general of Jiangnan and should be in charge of the affairs of the entire Jiangnan, I cannot control those officials, let alone force them to come to the banquet..."

"Oh?"

Bai Qiuyuan was about to speak, but he heard Liang Shenlin's rough voice first, "Master Shi, what you said does make sense."

"However, Lord Bai and I just want to get to know those officials. We don't want them to come and die. Moreover, the invitations have already been sent to their respective homes. I believe they will understand the sincerity of Lord Bai and I."

Liang Shenlin said bluntly, staring at Shi Wei'an with a pair of sharp eyes: "I wonder if Mr. Shi will come to the banquet in two days?"

Shi Wei'an cursed inwardly, but said, "...Of course I will."

In front of the two of them, I couldn't refuse at all.

"As long as Lord Shi agrees, I won't have to send anyone to send an invitation to Lord Shi's house. As for other officials, if there are any who are unwilling to come, Lord Shi will advise them."

After saying that, Liang Shenlin suddenly raised his hand and patted Shi Weian on the shoulder.

Shi Wei'an suddenly felt a little aggrieved, but had to agree first: "Okay."

In Shi Weian's opinion, he didn't want these two to contact all the officials serving in Jiangnan at all.

After all, not every official is so obedient. Among them are quite a few smooth-talkers who are afraid of death. If they can't stand it for a while and are intimidated by Bai and Liang, and then say something they shouldn't say, wouldn't that bring trouble to themselves?

When he thought of this, Shi Weian instantly felt uneasy. The banquet would be in two days, so he had to write a letter today and ask those people to shut their mouths and not say anything!

"Master Bai, General Liang, since you two are already preparing for the banquet, I won't bother you. If there is nothing else important, I will return home first."

Shi Weian couldn't wait to go back home.

Liang Shenlin and Bai Qiuyuan glanced at each other quickly, then looked away. Bai Qiuyuan said, "It's still early now, Lord Shi, there's no need to go back so soon. Besides, I have something else I want to ask Lord Shi."

Shi Wei'an frowned, feeling extremely angry, but he had to put on a kind expression on his face: "I wonder if Master Bai has anything else to say?"

Bai Qiuyuan: "I heard that Mr. Shi is the son-in-law of Mr. Jiang, the governor of Jiangning. I wonder how much Mr. Shi knows about Mr. Jiang's behavior?"

As soon as these words came out, Liang Shenlin's face suddenly showed a solemn expression: "Please tell the truth, Lord Shi. This has a lot to do with Lord Bai and I coming to Jiangning to do business."

Shi Wei'an's heart sank. Could it be that these two people were coming for his father-in-law?

Shi Wei'an lowered his eyes and hid his suspicion. "What does Lord Bai want to know?"

……

Jiang Mansion.

As soon as Jiang Pei'an entered the mansion, he saw Butler Jiang hurried over, took something out of his sleeve and handed it to him, "Master, I don't know who sent the invitation, I dare not open it without permission."

"invitation?"

During this period, Jiang Pei'an was not at home. Instead, he used the excuse of handling official business to secretly send Bai Yueguang, the white lotus, who was the apple of his eye, to another place.

I don’t know which maidservant gossiped in front of the lady and dared to say that he had another woman hidden in the house!

Even if the story is true, as the master of Jiang Mansion, what does it matter if he keeps another woman in his house? It's not like he can't afford it!

What's more, Bai Lian is so gentle, considerate and understanding. She only wants to be with him for the rest of her life and doesn't ask for any status. Why can't the lady tolerate Bai Lian?

After hearing the news from the maid, the lady went crazy and insisted on searching the entire Jiang Mansion with the guards. If he hadn't been smart and asked the butler to take Bai Lian to the toilet in time, Bai Lian would probably have been found by the lady!

Damn that maid!

If he finds out who informed the lady about this, he will definitely kill her!

When this happened, Jiang Pei'an was afraid that Bai Lian would be wronged by his wife's unreasonable demands, so he hurriedly took Bai Lian away.

Jiang Pei'an was not willing to return home until he had made all the arrangements for Bai Lian today.

Jiang Pei'an took the invitation from the butler, and before he opened it, he asked, "Did anything happen in the mansion during the days I was away?"

"Forehead……"

Butler Jiang suddenly showed an embarrassment on his face, and looked at his master hesitantly, wanting to say something.

Jiang Pei'an's eyebrows raised, as if he had thought of something: "Could it be that Madam has done something ridiculous in the mansion again?"

Butler Jiang nodded with a sad face, "Master, Madam took 30,000 taels of silver from the account office and specially invited a troupe to perform at the mansion, one show a day, and Madam even said that they would perform until Master returned home."

"Thirty thousand taels of silver!?"

Jiang Pei'an's face changed slightly, and he stared at Butler Jiang with wide eyes, almost shouting at the top of his lungs with excitement: "This prodigal, how dare she take away 30,000 taels of silver just to hire a troupe to perform?!"

Those were all the money he worked so hard to earn, and she actually dared to spend it on those opera singers! ? ?

Jiang Pei'an was so angry that he almost tore up the invitation in his hand!

"Let's go! I want to go and see which troupe she invited that cost her thirty thousand taels of silver!"

Jiang Pei'an walked angrily towards the yard where his wife was.

Seeing this, Butler Jiang quickly said, "Master, at this hour, Madam is not in the yard."

Jiang Pei'an immediately stopped, turned around, looked at Butler Jiang and asked, "Where is she?"

Butler Jiang said stiffly, "Madam is... in the front yard, listening to the opera."

"???"

When Jiang Pei'an heard this, he was stunned as if he was struck by lightning from the sky.

After a moment, Jiang Pei'an clenched his fists and roared in disbelief: "Who allowed her to be so presumptuous in front? She even dared to bring those shabby actors to the front yard?"

His study is in the front yard, and there are many valuable things in it, and some secrets that cannot be revealed. How can he let outsiders set foot in the front yard! ?

Jiang Pei'an was like a lion with its fur flaring up, his teeth chattering with anger: "Where are the guards guarding the front yard? Are they all dead?"

If anything unexpected happened in his study, he would never forgive her!

Butler Jiang lowered his head and dared not say a word.

Jiang Pei'an was so angry that he felt like vomiting blood. He couldn't help but quicken his pace and rushed towards the front yard.

At this time, in the front yard of Jiang Mansion.

The sound of opera singing rang out in the yard. Mrs. Jiang closed her eyes and leaned back in the rocking chair. Qiu Rong and Qiu Lan stood beside her and served her.

Qiu Rong reported in a low voice: "Madam, the master has returned home. If the master knew that Madam not only invited the troupe back, but also let the troupe enter the front yard to perform, the master would definitely be furious and punish Madam..."

Hearing this, Madam Jiang still kept her eyes closed, and there was no trace of fear on her face.

Madam Jiang sneered, "Even if he finds out, so what? Could he dare to kill me?"

Before he finished speaking, Qiu Rong and Qiu Lan both knelt on the ground. Qiu Rong's face changed slightly: "Madam, don't talk nonsense. Madam is the master's wife. How could the master kill Madam because of a momentary anger?"

How is it impossible?

Mrs. Jiang slowly opened her eyes, and a hint of sarcasm flashed across her beautiful eyes. The old man Jiang Pei'an had already attacked her. If she hadn't been lucky and hadn't been so devout and prayed to the Buddha and wanted to go to Chang'an Temple in Suzhou, she would not have found out that she had been poisoned.

Otherwise, she didn't know how or when she would die.

This time when she returns to the Jiang Mansion, she will make Jiang Pei'an pay the price for this and make him lose the thing he cares about most!

Seeing Qiu Rong and Qiu Lan being so loyal to her, Madam Jiang sighed softly, "Okay, all of you get up, let's not talk about this for now."

"Yes, ma'am."

Qiu Rong and Qiu Lan both stood up.

Mrs. Jiang picked up a small piece of osmanthus cake on the table, lowered her head and took a bite. "Osmanthus cake is good, but not as good as the one in Suzhou."

"Since you like Suzhou's osmanthus cake, why did you come back?!"

An angry voice suddenly sounded at the front door.

Immediately afterwards, Jiang Pei'an appeared.

Butler Jiang followed closely behind.

When Jiang Pei'an saw the stage in the middle of the front yard and heard the play that was cursing the heartless man, his face turned as black as ink. He cursed the guards guarding the front door coldly: "Are you all dead? Why don't you drive all those actors out!?"

Two guards came in quickly, drew the long swords hanging at their waists, pointed at the actors on the stage and said, "Hurry up, leave here if you want to live!"

Several actors standing on the stage were pointed at by swords. They were all in a panic and looked to Madam Jiang for help.

It was Madam Jiang who brought them in. Without Madam Jiang's nod, they would not dare to leave.

"Ah."

Madam Jiang snorted coldly, and suddenly she stood up, her beautiful eyes filled with coldness, staring at Jiang Pei'an intently, "Master is finally willing to come back. I thought that the master was seduced by some vixen and was reluctant to come back."

In fact, she knew where Bai Lian was hiding on the day she searched Jiang's house.

However, Madam Jiang thought more deeply. If Bai Lian was always hidden in the mansion, right under Jiang Pei'an's nose, then whatever she wanted to do would be restricted. So, Madam Jiang deliberately let Jiang Pei'an secretly take Bai Lian away from the Jiang Mansion.

But they didn't know that Madam Jiang had already sent people to follow them, and she knew exactly where Bai Lian was hiding.

After she has dealt with Jiang Pei'an, Bai Lian will be next!

Hearing this, Jiang Pei'an instantly became angry and pointed at Madam Jiang, angrily saying, "Ms. Jiang Dong, if you continue to talk nonsense like this, you will be confined to your yard and have to copy Buddhist scriptures a hundred times to cultivate your character!"

"Jiang Pei'an!"

Madam Jiang said unyieldingly, "You know whether I am talking nonsense or not! You dare to do it but you don't dare to take the responsibility. Are you qualified to be the governor of Jiangning?"

During the days when the stage was set up in the front yard, Mrs. Jiang ostensibly wanted to listen to the opera, but in fact she wanted to make noise outside to cover up the sounds in the study.

She didn't know whether the letter she had sent people to find earlier would be of any use to Master Yu Huaijun and the others.

So, Madam Jiang, under the pretext of listening to the opera in the front yard, continued to send people to sneak into the study to look for evidence that could bring down Jiang Pei'an. She had already found all the people she could, and the rest depended on the abilities of Master Huaijun and the others.

"You are presumptuous!"

Jiang Pei'an was so angry that he jumped up and down, and he felt terrible all over.

He really didn't understand why his wife suddenly became so irritable after just going to Suzhou?

Moreover, based on the time he poisoned her, the poison should have taken effect long ago, leaving her weak and bedridden. Why could she still be standing in front of him now?

Jiang Pei'an was deeply confused and regretful. He should have secretly put more poison in Bai Lian's tea on the day he took her away from home. If he had done that, perhaps none of these things would have happened today.

She should just lie on the couch and wait for death!

Just as this thought flashed through his mind, Jiang Pei'an suddenly heard Madam Jiang's cold voice questioning: "Who is so presumptuous? Jiang Pei'an, for all these years, as your wife, I have managed the affairs of your house for you and never had a single complaint. But what about you? What have you done to me!?"

"Jiang Pei'an, tell me, who is secretly poisoning me?"
