Chapter 798 Refusing to Help

"There's nothing special about the rest. Kongming doesn't know much about Prince Su. When Prince Su was in the Taoist temple, there were special people taking care of his daily life, so Kongming didn't have much chance to meet them."

Xier answered while thinking.

"Oh, now I remember there's another thing about Kongming becoming a disciple. Wasn't he interrupted by the temple master before he could finish his words? According to Kongming, there's really nothing special about him. He's an orphan who came to the Taoist temple because he couldn't make a living anymore. But when the temple master saw him, he treated him differently. Not long after, the temple master accepted him as his disciple. I heard that Prince Su knew about it and came to see him specially, but after seeing him, he didn't say anything and left quickly."

“Just take a look and leave?” Wei Yao wondered.

"Yes, Kongming said that maybe he just wanted to see which disciple the abbot would accept, and then left after taking a look." Xier nodded.

Jiang Suining looked at Xier with appreciation, "You have found out quite a lot."

Xier smiled embarrassedly, "Miss, I don't know if this is helpful or not, so I just pretended to chat and asked casually, but I don't know if I can help you, young ladies."

In fact, she had planned to continue inquiring, but a Taoist priest came to see Kongming, so she had to give up.

"Yes, the information you have found out is useful." Wei Yao's tone was also full of appreciation.

After all, looking at the appearance of the temple master, it is too difficult to get information from him. Fortunately, there is Xier.

"Sui Ning, should we tell Lord Pei about the conversation between Prince Su and the abbot that Xier just mentioned?"

Lord Pei is still investigating the missing woman, so this might be a clue.

"I will have someone tell Pei Zhaozhi, but after all, it's just the Taoist boy's one-sided statement and can't serve as any evidence."

If you want to confirm that Prince Su is really related to the woman's disappearance, you must have solid evidence.

Jiang Suining first sent Wei Yao back to the Jiang family, and then returned to Ning Garden.

As soon as she got off the carriage at the gate, she saw a familiar figure waiting at the gate and looking inside.

"Miss, it looks like Mrs. Zhong." Xier looked at the figure and spoke.

Jiang Suining stood beside the carriage and looked at it for a while.

Noticing the gaze coming from behind her, Zhongmu turned her head and looked back, just in time to meet Jiang Suining's eyes.

Her body stiffened at first, and then she quickly walked in front of Jiang Suining.

"Madam Jiang." She looked flustered and nervous.

"What happened?" Jiang Suining asked.

"I..." Zhong's mother looked embarrassed. She still remembered clearly that she had come to find Jiang Suining before but ended up betraying her. So when she looked at Jiang Suining at this moment, there was inevitably some timidity in her eyes.

But thinking about the situation at home, she could not care about anything else. She bit her tongue and said, "Madam Jiang, can you ask Prime Minister Shen to come forward and help Yixue?"

"What happened to her?"

She and Zhong Yixiu haven't seen each other since their wedding. Yesterday, she heard news from the Zhong family that Zhong Xingyun had suffered a stroke.

Although she didn't know if there were any other reasons, the Zhong family should be in Zhong Yixiu's hands now.

She couldn't imagine what the person wanted to come to her for today, and even mentioned Shen Yanxi.

"It's the Marquis of Mingchang Mansion!" Mother Zhong's face was gray and ugly. "It's probably because of the hatred caused by the previous broken engagement. Now something happened to the Zhong family, and the master...had a stroke, so the Marquis of Mingchang Mansion came to cause trouble."

"After all, it is a dignified Marquisate. Even if they are dissatisfied with the previous cancellation of the engagement, they should not add insult to injury at this time. After all, they have to consider the opinions of others."

"But he is indeed from the Marquis of Mingchang Mansion."

"That should be just the prince of the Marquisate."

"Yes, it was Prince Yuwen. He came here suddenly today, and he looked ill-intentioned. After all, the Zhong family is just an ordinary citizen now. If he wanted to cause trouble, he would definitely..."

"Did Zhong Yixiu ask you to come?" Jiang Suining interrupted Zhong's mother's worried words.

Mother Zhong shook her head. "No, Yixue only said that she could handle it and told me not to worry about it. But the other party is the prince of the Marquisate. How can she handle it? I am really worried. Yixue..."

Seeing that Mrs. Zhong was about to continue talking, Xier noticed that Jiang Suining frowned and interrupted her, "Madam Zhong, since Miss Zhong said she can handle it, you should believe her."

Mother Zhong choked when she was interrupted. She carefully looked at Jiang Suining's face and said, "Madam Jiang, I know I really don't have the face to come to you. I was sorry for what happened before, but I am also really worried that something might happen to Yixue."

Apart from the person in front of her, she really couldn't think of anyone else to turn to for help.

Jiang Suining had originally planned to go directly into the mansion, but seeing the cautious and embarrassed look on Zhong's mother's face, she couldn't help but speak: "Madam Zhong, you should trust your daughter. As long as Marquis Mingchang and the Princess don't interfere in this matter, if it's just Prince Yuwen, there won't be any big trouble."

"I……"

"And do you know why Yixue didn't let you come for help?"

"She may feel that she has troubled you too much before, so she is embarrassed to trouble you again."

"Although I helped Miss Zhong a little before, she still had to rely on herself for the most part. The reason why she didn't want to ask for help was because she knew that there would be more such things in the future. Even if I asked my husband to come forward and persuade Prince Yuwen to withdraw this time, there might not be others in the future. The Zhong family has now been demoted to commoners, and the last thing this imperial city lacks is dignitaries. Even if we put aside the Marquis of Mingchang Mansion, I think Minister Zhong might have offended other people during his tenure..."

Jiang Suining paused for a moment and continued speaking.

“So, if you can’t learn to solve it yourself, even if you can avoid it this time, you won’t be able to avoid it in the future.”

With every additional word Jiang Suining spoke, Zhongmu's face turned paler.

She murmured, "So, there will be countless troubles waiting for us later."

"So it's important to let people see her ability to solve problems. If she can only ask for help when she encounters problems and can't handle them by herself, then even if she is married into the family, it doesn't mean that she can protect the remaining family assets of the Zhong family. If she can't stand on her own, then in the eyes of outsiders, you and your daughter are ready-made fat meat."

Jiang Suining didn't want to say it so directly and clearly, but seeing that Mother Zhong was indeed too worried about Zhong Yixiu, she couldn't help but make it clear.

Seeing the flustered Zhong's mother, she slowed down her voice and asked, "Madam Zhong, do you still want us to help you solve the problem of the Marquis of Mingchang Mansion?"
