Chapter 794 Something is wrong with going smoothly

"Your Highness, don't you know why we are here today?" Jiang Suining looked directly at Prince Su.

The hand that was about to pick up the teacup paused, and Prince Su met Jiang Suining's gaze. After a moment of stunned expression, he was replaced by confusion.

"It seems that it is not about the Women's Academy. Then I am curious. Apart from this matter, is there any other intersection between me and you two?"

Jiang Suining carefully observed Prince Su's reaction, "Does the prince really not know about this?"

Prince Su took a sip of tea slowly. "If you don't explain clearly, how can I know? Could it be that I didn't do well in some other aspects and offended Lady Jiang and Prime Minister Shen again?"

Although he said it offended them, his words were full of contempt, which clearly showed that he did not take Jiang Suining and Shen Yanxi seriously.

"Your Highness Prince Su, you are too polite. You are of noble status, and we should be the ones asking you if we have offended you in any way." Shen Yanxi smiled without showing his smile.

"Prime Minister Shen, please don't joke. Although I am the emperor's uncle, I have not been in the court for a long time. I am not as popular as Prime Minister Shen." Prince Su looked at Shen Yanxi with interest, and then his eyes moved to Jiang Suining, "Of course, there is also Miss Jiang. Although your official position is not high, I have already found out clearly that you are very famous in this imperial city."

Jiang Suining frowned slightly.

She didn't come here today to beat around the bush with Prince Su, talk nonsense or play Tai Chi.

After hesitating for only a moment, Jiang Suining came straight to the point and said, "Your Highness, I will not beat around the bush. Your Highness has already achieved his goal of refining the elixir in the Women's Academy. Although I have tried to stop you before, that was just my normal consideration. Now that your Highness has achieved his goal, why bother to make things difficult for me, especially... for the Jiang family's business."

"The Jiang family's business?" Prince Su was stunned, as if he had not expected this to be involved. "Miss Jiang, why are you talking like that? I don't understand what you mean."

"Your Highness really doesn't know?" Jiang Suining frowned even more.

Seeing that Prince Su was indeed confused and seemed to know nothing, Jiang Suining told him the whole story.

The more Prince Su listened, the tighter his brows furrowed. When Jiang Suining finished speaking, his face darkened and he said to the outside, "Someone, ask Butler Wu to come see me."

Soon, Butler Wu was summoned in.

"My Lord, what are your instructions?"

Butler Wu is over fifty years old this year. He was originally a servant in the family of Prince Su's mother. Later, after Prince Su established his own palace, he was arranged to work in Prince Su's palace.

During the years that Prince Su was in seclusion, he had been guarding the palace.

"I am asking you, have you done anything against the Jiang family behind my back?" Prince Su asked in a deep voice.

Butler Wu's expression froze, but he quickly lowered his head and said, "Your Highness, I didn't do that. How could I possibly do anything to hide it from Your Highness?"

Although his tone sounded sincere, when he said this, Butler Wu's eyes secretly glanced at Jiang Suining and Shen Yanxi who were sitting next to him.

There was a hint of guilt.

Prince Su naturally saw through it. He put down the teacup in his hand with a cold face and said, "I will give you one more chance."

"Your Majesty, I..."

"Butler Wu, please think carefully before you speak. If you didn't have evidence, we wouldn't have come to your door today." Shen Yanxi said in a warning tone.

Butler Wu's expression changed again. He looked up and glanced at Prince Su cautiously. He gritted his teeth and finally said, "Please forgive me, Your Majesty. I did arrange some people to trick the Jiang family. But I was also thinking that if the Jiang family got into trouble, then Jiang Sui, no, Jiang Nuguan, would be too busy dealing with family affairs and would definitely not have the energy to go against you, Your Majesty."

As he spoke, Butler Wu knelt on the ground with a plop. "My Lord, I am so angry. A mere female official dares to challenge you, Your Majesty. It is obvious that she is bullying you because you have been practicing in seclusion for many years and have no foundation or support in the court."

"You are so confused. When did I ever need you to stand up for me?" Prince Su frowned and looked at Butler Wu.

"Your Highness, I know I was wrong. I know I was wrong." Butler Wu kowtowed and admitted his mistake.

"Butler Wu, are you sure you arranged all that?" Jiang Suining asked suspiciously, "It's OK to find someone to pretend to be a merchant buying silk, but you can also make merchants who have cooperated with the Jiang family for many years stop providing raw materials to the Jiang family, and even make so many raw material suppliers listen to your arrangements. This doesn't seem to be something that can be done casually."

After all, the other party is just a housekeeper, and he doesn't look like he has such great abilities.

At Jiang Suining's question, Butler Wu trembled, "I, I..."

"Why don't you tell the truth?" Prince Su said coldly, "The Jiang family is not an ordinary family. If you don't speak clearly, I can't protect you."

"Reporting to the prince, I was wrong. I used your name to scare those merchants and made them stop supplying raw materials to the Jiang family. It's all my fault that I was confused for a moment and damaged your reputation. Please forgive me, your name!"

"You are so brave!" Prince Su looked angry.

"Your Highness, I know I was wrong! I really know I was wrong!" Butler Wu kowtowed hard again.

Prince Su looked at him for a long time before he sighed helplessly, "Prime Minister Shen, Lady Jiang, the matter has been clarified. Although I didn't know about it before, it is true that Prince Su's Mansion has let the Jiang family down. But Butler Wu is an old man in the palace. For so many years, he has been helping me guard the palace. He has both merits and hard work. I hope you can give me some face on this matter and don't continue to pursue it."

Look at Butler Wu kneeling on the ground, and then look at Prince Su.

Jiang Suining raised an eyebrow inwardly.

This matter was going too smoothly.

Shen Yanxi just said that he had evidence, but he didn't even say what the evidence was. There was no way to tell whether it was a deliberate fraud or not, so Butler Wu just ignored it.

It went so smoothly as if it had been planned from the beginning.

"Madam Jiang, I am talking to you." Prince Su spoke again.

Jiang Suining came back to his senses, "Then Your Majesty, do you think that this incident should be treated as if it never happened?"

"I will have people pass on the message to those merchants to honestly provide raw materials to the Jiang family. As for the silk order business, everything can remain the same, or the price can be increased by 20%. The profit will be regarded as my apology to the Jiang family. How do you think?"

Jiang Suining did not speak immediately.

Shen Yanxi raised his eyebrows and said, "Your Majesty, what if we don't want to?"
