Lord Qing Leng bowed down for me

Jiang Huaice has a high status and has never knelt down to anyone except His Majesty and the Queen. Now, for Shen Zhiyi, he knelt down to Shen Fu and Mrs. Shen.

The two of them looked at him with a somewhat complicated look.

I have to admit that among the rich and powerful in Huaijing, there is no one like Jiang Huaice.

But Mrs. Shen is right. The closer you get to that whirlpool of power, the more harm you will suffer and the danger will continue to increase.

She didn't want to see Shen Zhiyi put in danger one day because of this.

"Marquis Changping, please come back."

Mrs. Shen spoke up and rejected Jiang Huaice once again with just a few words.

The man looked at Shen Zhiyi and said, "Can I talk to the old lady alone."

This time he finally got Zhizhi's nod, so how could he give up because of these obstacles?

Mrs. Shen's eyes stayed on him for a moment, and she stretched out her hand to let Shen Fu and Shen Zhiyi go down first. When there were only two people left in the room, Mrs. Shen stepped forward and helped Jiang Huaice up.

"You don't have to be like this, Lord Marquis, get up."

Mrs. Shen still felt a little bit uncomfortable asking Jiang Yun's son to kneel to her.

Jiang Huaice stood up, looked at the old lady and asked, "May I ask the old lady, is it because of the Lin family that you don't let Zhizhi marry me?"

Mrs. Shen's eyes widened slightly when she said the word "Lin family". How did he know?

"I have been investigating my father's death for so many years. People say he died on the battlefield, but I know that is all false."

Jiang Huaice's eyes changed, and he couldn't help but remind the old lady of what happened more than ten years ago.

In the year 45 of Qianyuan, Emperor Yuan, who had reigned for [-] years, suddenly fell into a coma. There was chaos in the court, and the twelve princes were ready to take action.

It was at that time that the chaos brought about by the battle for the right to inherit the throne quietly came.

At that time, Emperor Yong Qi Yunlang was still an inconspicuous little prince. Seeing his royal brother and his younger brothers fighting to the death, he chose to return to his fiefdom and not participate in these messy things.

Facts have proved that his decision was right. Three months after he returned to the fiefdom, Huaijing was in chaos.

The third prince coerced the emperor and ordered the princes to surround the palace and not allow anyone to visit. The deposed prince was far away on the border. When the news was received, the Central Plains had already started fighting.

Qi Yunlang knew that such a fight would never stop, and he did not want to participate. He lived his own life behind closed doors. By the way, he also met Jiang Yun at that time and Lin Bojian, known as Xiao Zhuge.

The three hit it off and often talked about the world and people's livelihood together.

Jiang Yun said that Qi Yunlang has the talent to govern the world, so why not fight for the world? If Qi Yunlang fights, he and Lin Bojian will give their full support.

But Qi Yunlang refused. He had no intention of disputes, and he didn't want to see the people of the world displaced. He just wanted to provide them with a refuge here.

At that time, Qi Yunlang had already made an engagement with Ming Xinyi and would marry her soon. He also wanted to leave a piece of pure land for her.

As for why the old lady knew this, Lin Bojian often came to visit her and informed her when she was in Wenzhou.

Lin Bojian knew about her father and Mrs. Shen, and also knew that the person her father loved most in his life was Mrs. Shen.

It is something that a young man cannot get, and it will be difficult to regain the original feeling throughout his life. When Lin Bojian's father passed away, Mrs. Shen was what he cared about the most.

He said to Bo Jian that he would take more care of the Shen family for his father.

The Shen family had people his father could only ask for, so Lin Bojian would often come to the Shen family to visit Mrs. Shen.Later, Lin Bojian got married and his new wife became pregnant. Mrs. Shen also took care of his daughter-in-law for him.

It's just that the child at that time died in the troubled times.

The war broke out in the summer. As Emperor Yuan's health deteriorated, the secret fights among the princes turned to the bright side. The large-scale deployment of troops and generals also destined to bring troubled times.

The people packed up their things and fled to Qi Yunlang's fiefdom, hoping to find a shelter here.

But the city is only such a big place and there are so many people that it can’t be accommodated.

Under such circumstances, Qi Yunlang's fiefdom was surrounded by the fourth and fifth princes, even though Qi Yunlang had never thought of participating in a normal fight.

But he was still forced to get involved.

To fight, you have to take huge risks and gamble with the lives of a city. If you make a mistake, you will lose everything.

If they don't fight, the city will be destroyed and people will die. They will not treat these people well. The unarmed people are their pleasure in massacre.

Therefore, Qi Yunlang no longer held back and relied on the strong popular support and Jiang Yun's army to attack Huai Jing.

Later, with the help of Lao He Wang, he married Liang Han and sat on the throne today.

And Jiang Yun died before he ascended the throne, before the battle was over.

Everyone said that he died on the battlefield, but Jiang Huaice, who had only seen the coffin once at that time, discovered something different.

The fingers were purple and black, and the body was limp. It was not a normal death at all.

The old lady thought of the deaths of Jiang Yun and Lin Bojian and covered her heart: "Since you are investigating your father's death, you should know how dangerous this road is."

There were wolves, tigers, and leopards in front of her, and an abyss behind her. In such a situation, how could she trust him with her branches?
"If Zhizhi is a flower in a greenhouse, a dodder that must rely on others to survive, I will never provoke her before the way forward is clear."

"I provoke her now because I know that she is fearless of these dangers, so I will not isolate her from danger and killing, and walk side by side. She can do it, and she wants to do it."

In his previous life, Jiang Huaice thought that she needed to be cared for as she grew up, so he didn't tell her everything.

Because he was afraid that those dangers would put her in trouble.

But this self-righteousness will only push her further and further away. She is tenacious, and it would be inappropriate to compare her to a delicate flower.

"No matter what she thinks, I just want her to live a stable life."

"So let her live a mediocre life without knowing anything. Is this what she wants?"

When the old lady finished speaking, Jiang Huaice picked up the question. The old lady was a little stunned by this question.

Yes, didn't she also say that if that day really comes, she would leave the decision-making power to Zhizhi, that would be fair to her.

She sighed, not knowing what to say.

"I will protect her, watch her grow, and be her strongest supporter."

Jiang Huaice cupped his fists and saluted, no longer leaving her out of the situation, and leaving all the choices to her, the one who was supposed to make the choices. This was really for her own good.

The old lady raised her eyes and looked at Jiang Huaice, who was bending down. She had to say that he understood branches better than she did, and she never thought that she was blinded by a leaf.

"Let me think about this matter again."
