无翼乌工口里番无色无摭挡

Jiang Yi asked, “What else did they do?”

“Unwilling to just secretly be together, they also plotted to harm each other’s partners, so they could be together forever.”

“This… is too vicious!” Jiang Yi gasped.

“Does Third Brother still think they are wronged?”

“Not at all. However, the families of both parties don’t seem to know about this yet?”

“That doesn’t matter, as long as they find out about their secret affair, their families should be on guard. My main goal is to frame the Crown Prince. As for Madam Wang and Zhang Wang, it’s just an incidental act of ridding the people of harm.”

“Seventh Sister, you’re really ruthless.”

“Still, it’s Third Brother who’s truly ruthless. Without your help, I alone wouldn’t have been able to deal with the Imperial Guards around the Crown Prince.”

“It’s nothing.” Jiang Yi’s modest words belied his smug expression. “The men I borrowed from the main house have been trained by Uncle for years. They’re not only skilled in martial arts but also extremely loyal, so they won’t leak any information.”

“Uncle is really impressive then.”

“Naturally, you might not remember what he looks like. Once he’s back, you’ll know. Uncle is even more outstanding than our father.”

“Wasn’t he supposed to come back during the New Year?”

“The border situation was tense last year, so he couldn’t return. He should be able to come back in two months.”

“That’s great, I must thank General Jiang in person.”

“Uncle is not easy to please, he’s cold to everyone. But maybe you can do it.”

“Why?”

“Because Uncle loves good food. With your cooking skills, it shouldn’t be a problem to win him over.” Jiang Yi smacked his lips, “But there is a small regret.”

“What’s the regret?”

“With the abilities of those dead warriors, handling the people around the Crown Prince would have been a piece of cake. It’s a shame we only knocked them unconscious. But then again, this is better.” Jiang Yi couldn’t help but laugh, “Seventh Sister, how did you think of using bricks to stun them?”

“Bricks can be found everywhere, using weapons would leave traces.”

“If Uncle knew that his carefully trained men, skilled in eighteen types of weapons, used bricks to hit people, he would probably vomit blood.” Imagining the cold-faced General Jiang spitting blood, Jiang Yi couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

The siblings took turns outdoing each other in their craftiness.

Jiang Yi slapped the table, “It’s all well and good, but your method of sending small notes is simply ingenious! You have no idea, the Crown Prince’s face turned green when he saw the small notes fluttering everywhere.”

“I knew he’d be furious, so I deliberately arranged for some painters nearby to capture his angry side, so that Chang’an City’s officials and common people would know the true nature of their Crown Prince.”

“The Crown Prince really had bad luck running into you.” Jiang Yi finished laughing and said in a serious tone, “But we must be careful and watch out for the Crown Prince’s retaliation.”

“He won’t find any evidence. If I’m not mistaken, he’ll target the Prince of Wei next.”

“Why?”

“Guess. If it’s a coincidence, it’s purely accidental.”

“Haha.” Jiang Yi laughed, “Seventh Sister, you’re so interesting. I now understand why Wenren Zong was smitten with you at first sight, and why the Prince of Yu remains so infatuated with you. It’s a pity you’re my sister, otherwise…”

“Otherwise what?”

“I would marry you, you little devil!” Jiang Yi said with a laugh, put down the teacup, and stood up, straightening the wrinkles in his clothes. “No more joking, Mother is still talking with the host in the front hall, we should go there too..”
