Chapter 1311

Prince Dongping was heartbroken!

Every time Chen Guanlou said a word, he felt even more pain!

Although the Vice Minister of the Imperial Clan Court did not approve, he did not stop him. Because what Chen Guanlou said was the truth, without a single word of exaggeration. Before they came, they had already understood Jiang Shoucheng's situation: second place in the provincial examination, outstanding talent, and a very good temperament. The Jiang family had educated him very well.

If there were no accidents, he would definitely have passed the Jinshi examination.

Just as Chen Guanlou said, even if he didn't return to the Wang Fu, relying on the Jiang family's financial resources, Jiang Shoucheng would definitely have been able to achieve something in his official career.

As for the situation in Prince Dongping's mansion, one really doesn't know if it's better to go back or not. It seems wealthy, but it's full of murderous intent everywhere.

Even if the Jiang family is a small household with a little money, the family style is good, and there are no swords or shadows. Jiang Shoucheng's life might not necessarily be worse than living in the Wang Fu.

Moreover, although Prince Dongping has wealth, status, and position, he has no real power.

If Jiang Shoucheng stayed with the Jiang family and pursued an official career, he might be able to become a powerful official in the frontier, or even return to the capital to become a high official in the Six Ministries, holding real power.

Comparing the two, the Wang Fu really doesn't count as the best choice.

The Vice Minister of the Imperial Clan Court's heart was a bit biased at this moment.

However, duty is duty; the bloodline of the Wang Fu cannot be left wandering outside and must return to its rightful position. Once he returns, Jiang Shoucheng's official career will probably be over.

Emperor Jian Shi would never allow a talented imperial clan prince to pursue an official career; at most, he would be given a position in the Imperial Household Department or the Imperial Clan Court, or perhaps a position in a "clear water" yamen.

As for wanting to be a powerful official in the frontier or a high official in the Six Ministries, he shouldn't even think about it in this lifetime.

Prince Dongping couldn't bear to look anymore and chose to escape.

The key is that when he left, he didn't make a single promise, nor did he say what he would do to the culprit. It was a typical case of muddling through.

Chen Guanlou instructed Jiang Shoucheng, "Don't think too much! Recuperate well! Right now, nothing is more important than recuperating."

"Is he my father?" Jiang Shoucheng was a smart man and hit the core of the problem.

Chen Guanlou didn't make a sound, still considering whether to reveal the whole truth at this time.

Jiang Shoucheng continued to ask: "My ending up in this state today is all thanks to him, right?"

"If one day you return to your rightful position, you will still need him to protect you." Chen Guanlou hinted to the other party that even if he wanted to hate, he should wait until he had actual benefits in hand and slowly wait for the opportunity. Don't be in such a hurry to make a decision.

Jiang Shoucheng gave a self-deprecating smile and rubbed his cheek against the bed board; it was a bit itchy.

He said: "Is his status very valuable?"

This is the bad thing about talking to smart people; you haven't said anything, yet everything has been guessed by the other party.

Chen Guanlou gave a light cough, "I already said, recuperate first. The truth you want to know, in a few days when your body is a bit better, I will tell you everything from beginning to end."

Jiang Shoucheng said "um," "Thank you, Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen."

"Do you want to see your parents? I mean the Jiang family."

"They have also arrived in the capital? I want to see them!" Jiang Shoucheng was very sensible and didn't ask why his parents had come to the capital. He just wanted to confirm his parents' safety.

"Then recuperate well, and in two days I will bring them to see you."

"Thank you!"

"Don't be polite! If you need anything, just tell the prison guards. If the wounds are too painful, don't force yourself to endure it; let Medical Official Mu prescribe some medicine for you."

Jiang Shoucheng agreed.

Chen Guanlou walked out of the Grade-A prison; Prince Dongping had already left.

The Vice Minister of the Imperial Clan Court was still there, clearly having something to say.

Chen Guanlou invited him into the office and served fragrant tea.

"You shouldn't have arranged for Prince Dongping to see Jiang Shoucheng." The Vice Minister went straight to the point, too lazy to be circuitous. He directly expressed his dissatisfaction.

Chen Guanlou was unhurried as he poured the tea, "Jiang Shoucheng's identity can basically be determined. That is to say, it won't be long before he returns to the Wang Fu. You are the Vice Minister of the Imperial Clan Court and also a member of the imperial clan; you know the situation in Prince Dongping's mansion a hundred times better than I do. Given Jiang Shoucheng's current condition, if he returns to the Wang Fu, how long can he live?"

"The Wang Fu is not a wolf's den, and Jiang Shoucheng is not a sheep." The Vice Minister of the Imperial Clan Court emphasized sternly.

Chen Guanlou laughed, "He is indeed not a sheep, but his intelligence and wisdom have all been used in studying. As for the struggles in the inner mansion, he will have to adapt for a period of time. The process of adaptation will lead to deaths.

What can he do? He can only rely on Prince Dongping's guilt to obtain protection. To take a step back, if a son suffers a great disaster, can the father go take a look? Prince Dongping is not made of steel, but he is not a piece of soft mud either; why do you need to protect him too much?"

"You don't know the specific situation at all. You only see that Jiang Shoucheng is miserable, but you don't know how chaotic the situation in the Wang Fu is now. You are purely adding to the chaos. As long as Jiang Shoucheng's identity is not determined, Prince Dongping should not have seen him."

"A father seeing his son still has to pick a time. Your Imperial Clan Court's way of doing things is quite strange." Chen Guanlou smiled mockingly, "I only know that in this case, including the case from twenty years ago, Jiang Shoucheng is the victim. As the Jiang Jiang Yucheng of the Heavenly Prison, since I've encountered it, what does it matter if I do something for the victim? I haven't complained that your Imperial Clan Court doesn't do human things, so why do you complain that I'm meddling in other people's business?"

He was very impolite, nearly slapping him in the face.

Who cares how chaotic the Wang Fu is or how many people will lose their heads. After Prince Dongping witnesses Jiang Shoucheng's miserable state, how he will go crazy when he goes back.

He only knows that there is only one victim! From beginning to end, there has only been one!

Why should the victim bear all the suffering while the murderer can remain at large and continue to live a wealthy life?

He doesn't ask for fairness, only for a smooth and comfortable mind.

He has decided to brainwash Jiang Shoucheng. Once the Jiang-surnamed one returns to the Wang Fu and kills everyone, taking revenge for his hatred and grievances—this is the real refreshing story.

What kind of enduring humiliation and bearing burdens, enduring for the sake of family harmony—it doesn't fit his style. He can't stand a family bullying one person. Any decent person would roll their eyes at the sight of this.

The Vice Minister of the Imperial Clan Court laughed in anger, "Does it come to your turn to comment on how the Imperial Clan Court handles things? Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen, don't take yourself too seriously."

Chen Guanlou ate a snack, laughed lightly, and looked at him with contempt, "On my turf, what I want to do is not for a Vice Minister of the Imperial Clan Court to comment on. Stop nagging at me; you are not welcome here."

"You, you, you..." The Vice Minister was completely broken; he never expected the other party to be so disrespectful.

"You what you! The Heavenly Prison doesn't welcome you, get out!" Chen Guanlou directly issued an order to evict the guest and asked Mu Qingshan to drive him away.

Mu Qingshan, this blockhead, is the most suitable for driving away guests.

The Vice Minister of the Imperial Clan Court pointed at Chen Guanlou, "You're good! You even dare to interfere in the affairs of the Imperial Clan Court; this official will remember you! You just wait!"

Chen Guanlou waved his hand, "Who can't make threats? If you have the ability, come and arrest me directly! Otherwise, get out!"

Completely ruthless, not giving any face at all. A very direct falling out!
