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

In the study, Jiang Pei'an and Shi Weian did have an argument because of Qian Ning.

Qian Ning stood beside Shi Weian with an expressionless face. He seemed not to notice Jiang Pei'an's murderous intent, and he didn't care about his master's thoughts.

Little did he know that Qian Ning's fearless look made Jiang Pei'an deeply angry. He felt that Qian Ning was looking down on him and not taking him seriously.

Jiang Pei'an said calmly and emotionally, "Your people broke into my villa without permission, not only killed my guards, but also spoke rudely to me. He deserves to die a million times!"

Jiang Pei'an originally thought that based on the relationship between him and Shi Weian, it would be the easiest for him to kill Qian Ning. However, he never expected that Shi Weian would stand on the side of the secret guard Qian Ning, unwilling to take his life and insisting on protecting him!

How can we continue to maintain such an alliance?

If Shi Weian dared to allow the secret guards to ride roughshod over his head, he would turn against Shi Weian because of this matter!

Listening to his father-in-law's accusations, Shi Wei'an's smile gradually faded. He frowned slightly and said in a calm voice, "Why is Lord Jiang so aggressive?"

Originally, when Jiang Pei'an came in, Shi Weian called him "Father-in-law" with great respect. But now, Shi Weian was unhappy and didn't even call him "Father-in-law", but just called him "Lord Jiang".

Shi Wei'an snorted coldly: "Qian Ning was following my orders. Lord Jiang thinks Qian Ning deserves to die, so shouldn't I, the one who gave the order, deserve to die even more?"

Don't think he doesn't know. Qian Ning has just reported to him what happened in the villa. If Jiang Pei'an had not been unwilling to come to the Governor's Mansion and even sent guards to surround him, he would not have been forced to kill the guard.

All of this was just Jiang Pei'an's own fault. He couldn't blame Qian Ning for his decisiveness.

Shi Wei'an couldn't help but think, if it weren't for the connections in Jiang Pei'an's hands, he probably wouldn't have chosen to go to Jiang Pei'an's house to discuss important matters at this time...

"you--"

Jiang Pei'an was instantly so angry that he was speechless. He stared at Shi Weian with a pair of angry eyes.

Shi Wei'an raised his eyes and glanced at him, "Sir Jiang, now is not the time to worry about these things. Do you know that Shengjing has sent an imperial envoy to arrest all the officials in Jiangnan?"

"Don't forget that you are also involved."

"The Imperial Commissioner?"

Jiang Pei'an was stunned for a moment, and his anger subsided a little.

Seeing this, Shi Wei'an frowned, looking suspicious: "Could it be that you haven't received the news yet?"

As soon as he said this, Shi Wei'an denied it again: "Impossible, even if you didn't receive the news, you should have received the invitation sent by Lord Bai, saying that all officials in Jiangnan will be attending the banquet in two days."

Jiang Pei’an: “???”

The anger on Jiang Pei'an's face disappeared instantly, and his heart skipped a beat.

He tried hard to recall all the news he had received in the past few days, but it seemed that he had not heard of any imperial envoy coming to Jiangning.

However, on the day he returned home, he did receive an invitation from the butler. Could it be that the invitation that Shi Weian was talking about at this moment?

Please invite...

After a big quarrel with Mrs. Jiang Dong in the front yard, as soon as he walked out, he felt that the invitation card in his hand was extremely annoying. He threw it away in anger, and now he can't even remember where he threw it!

Thinking of this, Jiang Pei'an's face changed slightly, and he said hurriedly: "The invitation, that invitation has been thrown away by me."

Shi Weian was suddenly speechless.

After not seeing him for a few days, why did he feel that his father-in-law seemed to have become a lot dumber?

He threw the invitation away without even reading it. What a fool!

But now they are all grasshoppers sitting on the same boat. If something happens to one of them, no one can escape.

Shi Wei'an said patiently, "Don't worry, I'll send someone to retrieve the invitation after you return home. The most important thing to discuss right now is what matters."

"I wonder how Lord Jiang thinks we can break the impasse this time?"

Having said that, Shi Weian's sharp eyes fell on Jiang Pei'an, wanting to know what he would do.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Pei'an pretended to take a few steps back, as if to distance himself from Shi Weian. "Master Shi, this is wrong."

Although what he was about to face was indeed very difficult for him to deal with, he was also a little nervous.

But after what happened just now, Jiang Pei'an was very dissatisfied with Shi Weian's attitude, so he deliberately contradicted him: "The person in the palace specially sent an imperial envoy to Jiangning. As the governor of Jiangning, no matter what the imperial envoy wants to do, I should cooperate with him."

"As for whether the situation has been resolved or not, Sir Shi, there is no need to mention it again."

Jiang Pei'an spoke with great righteousness, as if he was going to do whatever the imperial envoy said.

Shi Weian had never expected Jiang Pei'an to say this. He gritted his teeth secretly, stared at Jiang Pei'an grimly for a moment, and suddenly smiled: "Master Jiang is really great."

"Okay, very good! Since Lord Jiang doesn't want to hear me mention it, then I won't mention it. I just don't know how long Lord Jiang can hold on."

Shi Weian could vaguely guess what Jiang Pei'an was thinking, which was that he just wanted her to bow her head in front of him.

He doesn't.

Over the years, Qian Ning has always been loyal to him and has saved his life several times when he was in trouble. How could he take the life of such a useful right-hand man just for a few words from Jiang Pei'an?

If Jiang Pei'an insists on having his own way and goes against him, then don't blame him for being cruel.

Shi Weian's face gradually turned cold.

Jiang Pei'an was not to be outdone, he sneered at Shi Weian and said, "Master Shi, you don't have to worry about this!"

After saying this, Jiang Pei'an left angrily, leaving the study without even looking back.

The two broke up unhappy.

Shi Weian was also very angry.

Qian Ning stepped forward, holding the sword tightly, staring at Jiang Pei'an's departing back expressionlessly, and said in a light tone: "Master, is there anything I can do for you?"

For example, killing people.

In this situation, only the dead can't speak.

Shi Wei'an took a deep breath and managed to calm down. "I can't kill him. Wait a little longer."

He shouldn't be merciful. Anyone who threatens his life shouldn't come into this world!

Hearing this, Qian Ning instantly understood what his master meant. He nodded and said, "Okay, Master, I understand what to do."

Shi Wei'an raised his hand and rubbed his brow, "Go out first."

Qian Ning: "Yes."

Qian Ning strode out of the study.

Suddenly, his footsteps paused, as if he heard some noise. He mobilized his internal strength, jumped lightly, and landed on the roof of the study.

A pair of sharp eyes scanned the surroundings, but did not find anything unusual.

Qian Ning suppressed his doubts, came down from the roof again, and quickly hid himself in the dark.

But what he didn't know was that the three people who came to the Governor's Mansion to eavesdrop had already quickly left using Qinggong the moment he stepped out of the study.

After a while, another guard hurried in and bowed his head to report to Shi Weian respectfully: "Sir, the Fourth Prince is here."

Shi Wei'an immediately showed a look of joy on his face, and urged: "Quick, please invite the Fourth Prince in!"

Ever since the Fourth Prince entered the Governor's Mansion, he has been staying in that courtyard and has never taken a step out, which made Shi Weian forget for a moment that he has such a big backer.

Now, the Fourth Prince has come here in person, he must have some good news to tell him!

……

Xie Xi put his arm around Lu Xiaoxiao's slender waist, and in the blink of an eye, he brought her back to the backyard of Luoyang Inn.

Following closely behind the two was Xie Jiu.

At this time, Mu Qing and Meng Huaijun had also returned.

All five of them entered the study.

Xie Shiqi and Xie Shiba were guarding outside diligently.

Only after returning to the familiar inn did Lu Xiaoxiao feel completely relieved. The show in the Governor's Mansion was indeed very exciting, but it was very tiring. She was extremely nervous, fearing that if she was not careful, the guards of the Governor's Mansion would discover them lying on the roof and eavesdropping.

However, this trip was not without gain.

Lu Xiaoxiao couldn't help but complain: "I didn't expect Shi Wei'an to want to kill Jiang Pei'an."

"In this way, the alliance between Jiang and Shi will definitely collapse completely."

Xie Xi deeply agreed with this. He never thought that things would go even more smoothly after arriving in Jiangning.

Meng Huaijun: "Madam, you are right. Now everything is ready. We only need the east wind. We are just waiting for the day of the banquet."

"After we resolve the issue in Jiangnan, can we return to Shengjing soon?"

It has been more than a month since Lu Xiaoxiao came out, and she began to miss Shengjing.

Xie Xi nodded: "Well, once this matter is settled, I will return to Beijing."

Hearing the affirmative answer, Lu Xiaoxiao couldn't help but smile: "That's good."

Guard Mu Qing, who was standing nearby, suddenly stepped forward and said, "I have something else to report to the master."

Xie Xi: "Speak."

Mu Qing: "There was a counselor in the Governor's Office named Mr. Liu. He was captured by the two brothers and was also locked up in the woodshed."

Lu Xiaoxiao widened her eyes in surprise.

[Shi Wei'an's adviser? Mr. Liu, Liu Yu? ]

Xie Xi glanced at Lu Xiaoxiao calmly and said, "Go and take a look."

Lu Xiaoxiao couldn't help but raise her hand and said, "Husband, I'll go take a look too, okay?"

Xie Xi nodded.

Lu Xiaoxiao was holding Xie Xi's hand and walked slowly towards the woodshed.

She opened the system and searched for what had happened to Mr. Liu recently, while she couldn't help but mutter in her mind:

[Mr. Liu is kindhearted and has no bad intentions. If he had not made an agreement with Shi Weian, he would not have willingly served as Shi Weian's counselor. Moreover, Mr. Liu has great love in his heart and has repeatedly advised Shi Weian to treat the people well, but Shi Weian never listened...]

[However, although Mr. Liu would give advice to Shi Weian, the ideas he proposed would not endanger the people. This time, Mr. Liu's words angered Shi Weian.]

[Thinking carefully, Mr. Liu is quite good, but he was blind for a moment and followed the wrong master. What a pity! ]

Xie Xi: “…”

Why did he feel that Lu Xiaoxiao seemed to value talent more than he did?

-

Li Qiuqiu has been locked up in the woodshed.

The room was pitch black the whole day, and you couldn't see your hand in front of you. You didn't know how much time had passed outside. Li Qiuqiu almost went crazy.

If she were given another chance to make a choice, she would definitely not rush back to Suzhou just to congratulate her brother.

Li Qiuqiu's mind was in a mess when suddenly, she heard a creaking sound and the door of the woodshed was opened from the outside.

A faint ray of sunlight shone in, and then Li Qiuqiu heard another "bang" sound, as if something heavy was casually thrown on the ground.

"Who?"

No one responded to Li Qiuqiu.

The door of the woodshed was quickly closed, and everything was plunged into darkness again.

Li Qiuqiu didn't know what had just been thrown into the woodshed. She was so scared that she couldn't suppress her fear. Her body was shaking a little. She kept moving towards the corner and curled up into a ball.

"cough"

A light cough suddenly sounded in the silent woodshed. Li Qiuqiu felt creepy instantly. She stared at the direction of the sound, her whole body frozen, not daring to move.

"cough cough"

After a few more coughs, a hoarse voice sounded: "Where exactly is this place? Why am I here?"

The voice was very familiar, so familiar that she had heard it not long ago!

Li Qiuqiu's whole body trembled, and a look of disbelief appeared on his dirty face.

Li Qiuqiu swallowed and called out tentatively, "Mr. Liu?"

After these words were spoken, Liu Yu, whose hands and feet were tied, was also shocked.

"You are... the mistress of the master? Li Qiuqiu?"

Liu Yu had met Li Qiuqiu before.

Not just once, but many times.

Because Li Qiuqiu was highly valued and trusted by Shi Weian, Liu Yu had also dealt with Li Qiuqiu several times and had a very average impression of her.

However, he had heard before that the master took Li Qiuqiu to Suzhou, and then only the master came back, and Li Qiuqiu was not by his side.

It turned out that Li Qiuqiu was imprisoned in this place.

"Mr. Liu!"

Unexpectedly, she would see an acquaintance here. The fear in Li Qiuqiu's heart dissipated a little, and she said excitedly: "Is it really you, Mr. Liu?"

"How did you get caught here? Has the master returned to Jiangning? How is the master's current situation? Does Mr. Liu know?"

Li Qiuqiu couldn't wait to know Shi Weian's recent situation. She wanted to know whether Shi Weian had sent anyone to look for her whereabouts.

Hearing so many questions at once, Liu Yu was not flustered at all, and answered calmly: "I only remember that after I came out of the Governor's Mansion and just arrived at East Street, I was ambushed and knocked unconscious. After that, I was sent here."

"My Lord has already returned to Jiangning. He seems to have encountered some difficult problems recently and cannot think of any useful solutions for the time being."

"As for whether the Lord has sent anyone out to look for you, I have never heard of that."

At this point, Liu Yu continued, "I wonder if Madam Li knows where this place is?"

"Also, who is the person behind this?"

Before he could finish his words, they heard a sudden noise and saw that the door of the woodshed was pushed open from the outside again.

Li Qiuqiu: “…”

Liu Yu: “…”
