Chapter 795: Is it poor acting or intentional?
"Why does Prime Minister Shen have to tear his face apart? This prince was not aware of the matter this time. Even if he continues to investigate, it is just punishing a servant. Moreover, it has not caused any losses to the Jiang family yet. There is always a way out for everything."
Prince Su's tone was slightly cold, with a hint of displeasure in his majesty and oppression.
Shen Yanxi's expression remained unchanged, "If the news gets out that the prince is so partial to me, it won't sound good."
"So Prime Minister Shen means that this matter must be investigated further?" Prince Su lowered his tone.
Just as he was about to continue speaking, he heard Jiang Suining say.
"Your Highness, please don't be angry. My husband was just speaking up for me, so he got a little too emotional for a moment."
"Miss..."
"Husband." Jiang Suining interrupted Shen Yanxi and shook her head at him. "Prince Su is right. After all, this matter has not caused any consequences. Even if it is brought to the emperor, it may not be pursued further. And since the prince has just said that, let's end this matter here."
"Lady Jiang is indeed a person who knows the big picture." Prince Su said with satisfaction.
"Your Majesty, Prince Su, thank you for your praise. Although this matter can be waived, I hope that similar things will not happen again, otherwise..."
Jiang Suining didn't finish the rest of his words, but the meaning of his words was already very clear.
Prince Su did not take Jiang Suining's threat seriously. In this situation, he had to say something to save face. However, he still promised, "Don't worry, Miss Jiang, I will definitely control my servants in the future and will never let them mess around again."
"Okay, I hope Your Highness will do what he says." Jiang Suining nodded.
"Now that the matter has been clarified, I will not keep you any longer." Prince Su began to order them to leave. "Of course, don't worry about the previous business. Everything will remain the same. Just consider it as my apology to the Jiang family."
"There's no need to apologize. Just cancel the deal, then..."
"Since the contract has been signed, there is no need to cancel it. It happens that I have just returned to the court and need to go around. The Jiang family's silk is very famous. I hope to receive it as a gift or reward." Prince Su spoke bluntly, and it sounded like there was no room for negotiation.
Jiang Suining frowned slightly and didn't say much, but when he said goodbye and left, he looked at Prince Su deeply.
After leaving Prince Su's Mansion, Jiang Suining and Shen Yanxi stood at the gate and turned their heads to look back at the same time.
"What do you think, was it Prince Su's poor acting skills just now, or did he do it on purpose?" Jiang Suining asked.
From their visit, to Prince Su calling in the butler for a confrontation, to the resolution of the matter, everything went too smoothly and too easily.
It seemed like a crude drama that had been planned in advance.
But if it was really arranged in advance, then what was Prince Su’s purpose?
"Prince Su is not a simple person." Shen Yanxi said.
The meaning of this statement couldn't be more obvious.
Shen Yanxi felt that Prince Su was pretending just now.
"Then what do you think is the purpose of Prince Su's acting like this?"
Shen Yanxi thought for a moment and shook his head, "I don't know. Maybe he deliberately wants to make us nervous and think that he has a backup plan. Or maybe it's for other reasons, but..."
"But no matter what the reason is..." Jiang Suining took over Shen Yanxi's words, "We must be careful and vigilant."
After saying this, Jiang Suining was suddenly stunned and turned his head to look at Shen Yanxi.
The two of them read the same meaning in each other's eyes.
Perhaps, Prince Su wanted them to be careful.
At the same time, in the lobby of Prince Su’s Mansion.
Butler Wu has already stood up.
"Your Majesty, do you think they will believe what you just said?"
"I arranged for you to act these out, not for them to believe it."
Neither Shen Yanxi nor Jiang Suining are stupid people, so it is impossible for them to believe everything so easily.
"Then, my lord, I dare you to ask me to set up a trap for the Jiang family and let me be caught by the Jiang family on purpose, is it just for what happened just now?"
"I guess so." Prince Su leaned back in his chair, looked at Butler Wu's puzzled expression, and said with a smile, "Have you ever heard of a mediocre person worrying about nothing?"
"Your Majesty, of course I have heard of it."
"But in fact, it's not just mediocre people who worry about themselves. The smarter some people are, the more they will suspect that others have endless means and calculations. Once they fall into such suspicion, they will be on guard all the time and investigate everywhere. Such a life is not easy."
Jiang Suining and Shen Yanxi are undoubtedly smart people, but precisely because they are smart people, facing everything that just happened, they will inevitably speculate on his intentions from various angles.
In this way, less energy will be diverted elsewhere.
Butler Wu understood what his prince meant. He thought for a moment and asked carefully, "Prince, what if they guessed it and thought that you were just trying to make them nervous and on guard?"
"What does it matter if they guessed it? As long as they can't confirm it 100%, they can't really ignore the matter and take risks with the Jiang family. As long as there are people and things that you care about, there will be weaknesses. And once there is a weakness, even the most powerful people may... be doomed."
When he said the last sentence, Prince Su's expression suddenly turned cold.
As if he remembered something, his eyes were filled with frost, and even with years of hatred that could not be melted away.
The sun sets, the moon rises, and night falls.
As time passed, the morning light dispelled the darkness, and a new day came with the sunlight.
In the blink of an eye, a few days passed.
In the past few days, those merchants who had previously cooperated with the Jiang family have come to them again.
He first expressed his apologies and helplessness, and then sent a large amount of raw materials over.
Although the raw material problem was solved and Jiang Mushi and his family no longer had to go to other places to buy raw materials, the atmosphere in the Jiang family did not relax.
After listening to Jiang Suining's account of what happened, everyone in the Jiang family felt that this matter might not be that simple.
The first thing Jiang Zhitong and Jiang Mushi thought of was to give up this business, but the buyer who had signed the contract did not agree.
Although they knew the reason, the contract had already been signed and the other party refused to terminate it. In the end, Jiang Mushi and Jiang Zhitong decided to complete the project and deliver the goods on time as agreed.
Of course, we must be careful and cautious in this process and not make any mistakes.
"Sui Ning, I always feel uneasy." Wei Yao was on duty in the palace, and she was worried, "What do you think Prince Su is up to?"
