Chapter 349: Not appreciative

Jiang Yanhui's return indicates that the Jiang family still firmly occupies an important position in the center of power.

His Majesty's favor towards the Jiang family remains.

In fact, everyone had already figured it out when Jiang Yanhui got into trouble, while Consort Jiang in the palace continued to enjoy favor.

If His Majesty dislikes the Jiang family, then he will no longer favor Consort Jiang.

Xu Zhaozhao no longer had the mind to concern herself with Xie Juan's marriage. The most urgent task was to make comprehensive preparations for dealing with the situation.

She had sparred with Jiang Ning several times and had come to know him to some extent.

Given Jiang Ning's vengeful and petty nature, she will definitely seek revenge against her.

Therefore, she cannot wait for the other party to be fully prepared; she must strike first to subdue the enemy.

While Jiang Yanhui has not yet officially returned to Beijing, we must find a way to strike at the Jiang family again.

If it were someone else, they might think that the Jiang family is currently favored by the emperor and should avoid confrontation.

But Xu Zhaozhao insisted on doing the opposite.

It's time to move the pieces in the Jiang family's game.

Since Jiang Yanhui is going to return, she can take action against Jiang Yanping first.

Jiang Wenhe is dead. Jiang Yanping is now vigorously cultivating his illegitimate son, Jiang Wenchong, and occasionally hints that he wants to register him under his wife's name as the legitimate son, but he has not taken any actual action.

Jiang Wenchong was somewhat tempted.

Xu Zhaozhao chose him because she knew he was an illegitimate son and had no hope of rising in the world. That's why she supported him so that he could compete with the other legitimate sons.

Who would have thought that Jiang Wenhe was too weak and died after only a few rounds?

Now, Jiang Wenchong has become too arrogant, does he really think he can live openly and honestly in the Jiang family?

Jiang Wenchong never knew who was secretly supporting him, but he felt that as long as he could become his father's legitimate son and inherit the family business, his future would be bright and promising. So why was he still being controlled by others?

No matter what, his surname is Jiang.

Therefore, Jiang Wenchong felt it was necessary to fight for himself.

Peony dressed up as a man to see him, and even made some special disguises.

But Jiang Wenchong was ambitious and felt that even without someone behind him helping him, he could still gain a foothold in the Jiang family.

Moreover, his father clearly values ​​him highly now, so why would he need outsiders to interfere in the Jiang family's affairs?

Jiang Wenchong left with an arrogant expression after saying only a few words.

Peony stomped her foot in frustration and then went to the next room.

Xu Zhaozhao was right here, and she had overheard her conversation with Jiang Wenchong perfectly.

"Master, I think that Jiang Wenchong is ungrateful! He really thinks that without Jiang Wenhe, he can become Jiang Yanping's legitimate son. He's just stupid!"

Xu Zhaozhao wasn't angry, but shook her head slightly with a hint of regret: "It's really hard to support a son born out of wedlock! His vision is too shallow. Since he's so ungrateful, I'll teach him a lesson first!"

A chess piece that doesn't obey has no reason to exist.

Xu Zhaozhao has never been the kind of person to act with mercy. If she doesn't take action for a long time, people will really think that she can no longer wield a knife.

Jiang Wenchong invited several friends to drink at Furonglou Restaurant, and then, for some reason, he got into an argument with Cui Hu, who was also drinking there.

Although they didn't physically fight, they argued fiercely.

The next day, Jiang Wen rushed off to see a great Confucian scholar, driving his carriage at breakneck speed.

As luck would have it, Cui Hu was talking to a classmate on the street when the carriage came rushing towards them. The two of them didn't react in time and were hit.

Cui Hu's classmate fared a little better; he only took two steps back to avoid the carriage. Although he himself fell and it wasn't very graceful, at least he wasn't seriously injured.

But Cui Hu was different.

Cui Hu was struck by the horse's hoof and thrown more than two zhang away.

No one knows where Ophiopogon japonicus came from, but under the guise of rescuing someone, it 'accidentally' stepped on Cui Hu's right wrist, resulting in a scream!

Jiang Wenchong's carriage injured a total of six people, with Cui Hu being the most seriously injured. The others were ordinary people who were easy to deal with; they could be given some money.

But Cui Hu's words terrified Jiang Wenchong.

Cui Hu's right wrist was fractured, and Mai Dong deliberately increased the force, so the bones inside were probably broken into several pieces. Even if he recovers, he will not be able to lift swords in the future, and it is even uncertain whether he will be able to hold a pen.

He was originally a talented young man who had studied literature and martial arts since childhood, but this incident resulted in the loss of his right hand and injury to his waist.

This has completely ruined the person!

Upon hearing this news, Cui Hu's father, Cui Youwang, immediately fainted.

He had gone to great lengths to pull strings and secure a minor official position for Cui Hu in the Imperial Guard, but who could have imagined that such a calamity would strike!

"Master, please don't panic. Madam has already sent someone to fetch the imperial physician. There must be a way."

After Cui Youwang woke up, he drank two cups of cold tea before being helped by his servants to visit his son.

Cui Hu is still unconscious and has no idea that his right hand is now useless. When Cui Youwang saw the hand wrapped up like a rice dumpling, he was overcome with grief.

The son he had raised with so much effort was ruined in a single day by a carriage.

Outrageous!

"No! My son has practiced martial arts since childhood, how could he not avoid a crazy carriage?"

The servant replied tremblingly, "Young master had drunk some wine and was catching up with a classmate by the roadside. No one expected a carriage to suddenly rush out and head straight for him!"

Choi Yoo-wang, being an official, quickly regained his senses.

Whose carriage is it?

“The Jiang family,” the servant said timidly. “It has the insignia of the Jiang family, and the one who got off the carriage was the sixth son of the Jiang family, who I heard was Jiang Wenhe’s half-brother.”

Jiang Wenhe?

Cui Youwang was so angry that he ground his teeth.

This person is already dead, yet he can still come out and cause trouble?

His half-brother?

And why did the carriage go crazy at this particular time, instead of earlier or later?

His son is about to be crippled; the Jiang family must have done it on purpose!

Before the Jiang family could figure out what was going on, Cui Youwang immediately ordered someone to report to the authorities, and then he went straight to the Duke of Yue's mansion.

Duke Cui Xuanming of Yue was his cousin. Since Cui Hu had such a big problem, he had to find someone to stand up for the child.

The Cui family's reputation cannot be trampled underfoot by the Jiang family!

Jiang Yanping was still in the government office when his servants rushed over to him.

"Master, something terrible has happened! The Sixth Young Master has been arrested by the Jingzhao Prefecture."

Jiang Yanping frowned: "Why are you speaking so unclearly? Tell me the whole story."

After the servant finished recounting the whole story, Jiang Yanping's heart skipped a beat. Why was it the Cui family again?
