Chapter 156 Beware of the Chen Family
Jiang Cheng smiled playfully and swore at Empress Chen and Emperor Taihe.
But Queen Chen just smiled faintly and didn't say much.
Emperor Taihe felt that he was an eyesore, so he said, "Alright, just remember this. If you dare to go out and talk nonsense and let this leak out, I will definitely hold you accountable! I will have you severely beaten with a stick at the palace gate!"
When Jiang Cheng heard this, he was so scared that he quickly covered his butt.
To be beaten with a stick, one must take off their pants. He didn't want to be beaten naked at the palace gate! He would become a laughing stock in the whole capital!
He smiled flatteringly: "Brother-in-law, you know me. I always listen to you the most. How could I possibly go out and talk nonsense?"
Emperor Taihe snorted coldly, "Don't try to act nice and clever in front of me, it's useless! Go see your sister, so she won't have to worry about you getting into trouble outside!"
Jiang Cheng quickly agreed: "Yes, yes, I will listen to my brother-in-law. I will go see my sister right away!"
After saying this, he bowed to Emperor Taihe and Empress Chen respectively, said goodbye to Chen Shou, and left quickly.
When they arrived at Huaqing Palace, Concubine Jiang was already waiting there.
She already knew the news from Emperor Taihe, so she was not in a hurry.
Seeing Jiang Cheng come in, she waved her hand to let the palace servants leave, then frowned and asked: "Tell me everything in detail, without hiding anything, what exactly happened today?"
Jiang Cheng didn't dare to hide anything and told the whole truth.
When Concubine Jiang heard him talk about Chen Shou being pinned down by Sun Kang and having his pants torn off, her expression suddenly became extremely strange.
But she didn't interrupt. After she finished listening, she looked into Jiang Cheng's eyes and asked, "Tell me the truth, did you really go to the Sun family just to eavesdrop on their discussions at the party?"
Jiang Cheng rolled his eyes guiltily and laughed dryly, "Sister, I really did go there to eavesdrop, but... I just happened to peek at Sun Kang's concubine's singing and dancing."
Afraid that Concubine Jiang would be angry, he quickly explained, "Sister, you don't know, Sun Kang's concubines are all from the Jiaofangsi, each of them is both beautiful and talented..."
Just as he said this, he heard Concubine Jiang snort coldly: "Is this all you have? Isn't she just a woman from the Music Bureau? Don't you have anyone at home? Is it worth it for you to secretly run to the Sun family?
Don't you think about how big of a scandal it would be if you were caught today? What would everyone in the capital say about you then?"
"Sister, I'm not just here to watch the song and dance. I have something important to do! I went to watch the song and dance just for the sake of convenience! Just by the way!"
Jiang Cheng argued unconvincedly and secretly moved away from Concubine Jiang, fearing that she would suddenly attack and beat him, "Sister, if I hadn't gone to the Sun family today, would I have seen such a lively scene?
Chen Shou almost lost her virginity to Sun Kang! Sister, you didn’t see the scene! If Chen Shou hadn’t stabbed Sun Kang…”
At this point, he suddenly became nervous, "Sister, Chen Shou actually hid a knife on him!
You have to remind your brother-in-law to be more careful in the future! Whether it's this Chen Shou or Empress Chen, maybe everyone in their family likes to hide knives on their bodies, ready to stab people at any time?
Wasn't that old man Xie Yun stabbed at home before? They said the maid was bribed to do it. I think it was probably Chen Fang or Xie Xin who did it. The maid was just a scapegoat!
How could she, a servant girl, have the guts to stab her master? Moreover, Xie Xin had a criminal record! Not only did he kick and injure his younger brother, he also angered the old man of the Xie family to the point of having a stroke!
Maybe he was so angry that Xie Yun had a mistress that he secretly stabbed Xie Yun! Chen Fang pushed the maid to take the blame in order to cover up for him!
Concubine Jiang narrowed her eyes and fell into deep thought.
Seeing that she had listened carefully, Jiang Cheng couldn't help but say, "But I think Chen is also suspicious. Have you read the book 'Mandarin Ducks' Dreams'?
In order to take revenge on her husband, the stepmother drugged him and paralyzed him!
That stepmother might have been written based on Chen Fang's writing. This woman is so cruel! Xie Yun's original wife died in childbirth, maybe it was her fault! "
"That's enough!" Imperial Concubine Jiang interrupted him unhappily. "Don't talk nonsense like this outside anymore! If someone hears, they'll accuse you of fabricating rumors and slandering important officials of the imperial court!"
Jiang Cheng shrank his neck, feeling a little dissatisfied.
He felt that he must have guessed right!
After all, he is so smart, how could he guess wrong?
But then Concubine Jiang asked, "You secretly went to the Sun Mansion today. Was it really just your own idea? Was there anyone who instigated you?"
Jiang Cheng quickly shook his head: "Of course not! Sister, you underestimate me too much. I'm not stupid. How can I let outsiders plot against me?"
Imperial Concubine Jiang was a little worried: "Really?"
Jiang Cheng's face was full of grievance and dissatisfaction: "Really not! Sister, am I so stupid in your eyes? I don't even know that I'm being taken advantage of?"
Concubine Jiang was relieved: "It's best if you don't have any. I'm not worried about you, I'm worried about others.
I have been favored by the emperor, and have long been a thorn in the eyes and flesh of many people. They cannot enter the palace to harm me, so they will naturally target the Jiang family.
Little brother, you should know how difficult it has been for me to get to this point. I don't want you to misjudge people and get tricked into causing disaster, ultimately bringing disaster upon the entire Jiang family!
You've already seen what happened to Mei Qingchuan. But I want to tell you, if we make a mistake, our fate will be even worse than his!
Those people will never give us a chance to survive. They will be even more ruthless and kill us with one blow!
If we are not careful, we will all be smashed to pieces and die without a burial place!"
Jiang Cheng's face turned pale and he suddenly shuddered.
"Sister, I will be careful and cautious in the future and never act recklessly again!"
"It's good if you understand."
Concubine Jiang looked at him with relief and continued to advise, "You must be careful of the people around you. Anyone who gets close to you may have bad intentions and want to send you to hell.
Also, don't openly target the Chen family anymore! If you see a member of the Chen family, it's best to avoid them instead of approaching them!
Even if your encounter with Chen Shou this time was just an accident, others will only think that you are planning it carefully and targeting him deliberately!
Everyone said that I was the emperor's only favorite, while Empress Chen was neglected.
You even go up to bully the Chen family. What will others think?
They won't believe you just happened to meet them. They'll just think our Jiang family is arrogant and presumptuous! Relying on His Majesty's favor, they wantonly bully Empress Chen's family. This is simply too much!"
Jiang Cheng was so scared that he knelt on the ground: "Sister, I will never dare to do it again!"
Imperial Concubine Jiang held his face in her hands and said word by word, "No, you have to do more stupid things next time. Let everyone know that you are nothing but an empty-headed fool!"
Jiang Cheng widened his eyes in disbelief: You are my biological sister!
