Chapter 158 Cooperation

Looking at the contract written in black and white, and the bright seal.

Jiang Huai felt irritated for no reason and walked around in a circle, as if he was wasting his efforts.

His brows are no longer stretched, and he is no longer in the mood to tease Ruixue as a sign of good harvest.

He expected that Ruixue would come to him or even beg him because of the incident at Shibalipu.

They just didn't expect that they would have such a thing in their hands, and the initiative they originally had in their hands was gone in an instant.

Ruixue seemed to be here to collect debts, but Prince Ning seemed to be here to cooperate with him.

Jiang Huai has never dared to delve too much into Zhao Fengnian. Even if he marries his daughter to him, Jiang Huai does not want to get into trouble with the person who is in the hands of the Holy Lord.

But after these few rare contacts, Jiang Huai could clearly feel that Zhao Fengnian was not a person who could be manipulated by others.

He allows others to comment and never refutes, it's just that he doesn't want to care about it.

If he really wanted to argue, he would strike at people's critical points every time.

Also, how can a person who can lead troops to fight and stabilize the northern territory be a simple character?

It’s also time to pay more attention to your daughter and son-in-law.

Besides, regarding the Shibalipu matter, if the Holy One had not intervened, he would not have cared about what would happen to Ruixue and Prince Ning.

So what if the title deed is transferred, he has the means to get it back.

But now that he had this contract approved by the Holy Emperor, he didn't want to be too greedy. It wasn't because he was afraid of Prince Ning.

After all, he is still Dalan's left prime minister, and he cannot ruin the reputation he has worked so hard for just for a Shibalipu.

Otherwise, he would not have waited until now. As for missing the opportunity before, Jiang Huai did not feel that he had anything to regret.

The more difficult something is, the more fulfilling it will be when done, right?

When the matter has developed to this point, he is really at a loss. There are too many variables and they are completely out of his control.

Many planned things had to be overturned.

Jiang Huai was not complaining, in fact he was enjoying the process.

The reason why he felt so uncomfortable at this meeting was entirely because he voluntarily gave up Shibalipu, but was tricked by the Holy Shang and did not get the same reward.

This was inconsistent with his expectations and even ruined his interest in the game.

He gave up Shibalipu on his own initiative, and now he can no longer compete with Ruixue and Zhao Fengnian.

It's hard to spread such gossip that he is a dignified prime minister and takes advantage of his daughter and son-in-law without regard for face.

If he really ignores Prince Ning, it will be difficult for him to explain to the Holy Emperor.

The contract has been written, and he was really tricked by the Holy One this time.

He can tolerate other things, but now he has changed his mind about what he said he promised. Why is this sage becoming more and more untrustworthy?

The money he got was gone for no reason, and he firmly disagreed.

He had to find a way to make up for this loss. Since he no longer wanted to fight with Prince Ning, it was a good decision to cooperate.

Jiang Huaiyun's gentle cheeks were a bit serious.

"How are Prince Ning preparing?"

Zhao Fengnian imitated Jiang Huai's example and tapped his fingers on the table, making a clicking noise.

"Of course, we followed the contract. I heard that the left prime minister was responsible for receiving all the fines imposed by the government. Should the left prime minister pay us back the compensation that should be paid to us?"

Jiang Huai pushed the contract back towards Zhao Fengnian.

"These are all trivial matters." After speaking, he glanced at Ruixue who was sitting beside him.

Prince Ning is clearly seeking justice for his daughter. It seems that the relationship between the two has improved.

She is better than Li Ningshuang in this regard and knows what is best for herself.

She waved to Ruixue, who was a little angry: "Wanwan, this is your wish. Go and count it out. This money is for my father."

Ruixue frowned, she never expected that such words would come out of Jiang Huai's mouth one day.

He is willing to pay for the losses in Shibalipu, so he must have a bigger plan.

Ruixue didn't dare to agree directly. Who knew what Jiang Huai had up his sleeves? It would be hard to get his money.

He looked directly at Jiang Huai and asked, "What's the price?"

"There is no price for a father to help his daughter. Wanwan, don't worry about it. I have something to say with Prince Ning. You can go out first."

When Ruixue heard this, she didn't even dare to agree. It's not like she hadn't read the contract in Zhao Fengnian's hand.

He didn't expect that there could be anything special about it, so Jiang Huai took one look and saw such a big change.

She was worried about letting Zhao Fengnian face Jiang Huai alone. This old fox had too many tricks, and she was afraid that Zhao Fengnian would suffer.

Just as she was about to give her a reminder, Zhao Fengnian turned around and gave her a reassuring smile.

"It's okay, Wanwan, go ahead. I have something to talk to the Prime Minister alone."

Ruixue hesitated to speak, but this was Zhao Fengnian's decision. He might not have the means to deal with Jiang Huai. Just believe in him, just like Zhao Fengnian believed in himself.

After looking at Jiang Huai who looked unclear, he stood up and left the study.

Huaiyu's personal maid was waiting outside, and she led Ruixue to see Huaiyu.

Huaiyu moved to the courtyard where he originally lived, and the furniture and furnishings were the same as before.

She was immersed in her desk, sorting out the accounts that had come in and out of the house these days. Ruixue entered the room without looking up.

"Find a place to sit by yourself. There are tea and snacks on the table. I'll be finished here soon."

After Huaiyu finished his work, Ruixue also warmed up his hands and feet.

Then I asked why Huaiyu moved here.

Huaiyu stretched his body, took the tea from Ruixue and took a sip.

"It's quiet here and I slept soundly. How was the conversation with the prime minister? What did you ask me about?"

Ruixue spread her hands and told Huaiyu her doubts.

"I don't dare to ask for his money. Who knows what kind of price he will have to pay in the future. It's better to wait until he has finished talking to Prince Ning and then go to the palace to ask the emperor to collect the debt."

Huaiyu put down the tea cup: "You are right to be careful, but there is no need to be too nervous. I understand Mr. Xiang. Since he has abandoned Shibalipu, he will not take action against you again. He left Prince Ning to speak alone,

Most likely he wants to join forces with Prince Ning to ask for something from the Holy One to make up for the loss of Shibalipu."

Ruixue nodded: "I hope Zhao Fengnian will be smarter and not be influenced by him."

"Why do you have so little confidence in Prince Ning? He should be upset if he knows it." Huaiyu joked with a smile.

"It's not that I don't have confidence in him. He doesn't understand our Prime Minister. If I fall into his trap, I won't be the one who suffers." Ruixue curled her lips. She was really afraid of Jiang Huai.

Huaiyu patted Ruixue on the shoulder and comforted: "Don't underestimate the generals in the north. Either you or I will die on the battlefield, but it is much more dangerous than fighting with others in Kyoto. It's useless for you to worry, you will cause trouble to the Holy Lord.

We can't get involved in what's going on in front of us, just trust him."

Ruixue smiled, she seemed a little too nervous.
