Suddenly, Shao Ziqing's heart was filled with anger. He raised his hand and grabbed Jiang Zuiyao's lapel and pulled him close to his face.

Jiang Zuiyao felt herself being pulled forward by a strong force. She didn't even take a step forward, and she suddenly fell onto Jiang Zuiyao's chest. She couldn't help but use her fingers to support Shao Ziqing's arm. Her fingers were injured, and she screamed in pain.

:"ah!!"

Shao Ziqing didn't care about Jiang Zuiyao's pain at the moment. He pressed his eyes hard on Jiang Zuiyao's face and said hysterically: "Do you know the consequences of irritating me? Don't think that I don't dare to give in to you again and again.

What to do to you!"

Linghui on the side was frightened. This was not the first time she saw Shao Ziqing angry. She begged for mercy: "Master, please calm down!"

At this time, Jiang Huai happened to walk to the door. He was shocked when he saw this scene and rushed in: "Shao Ziqing, this is the Shangshu Mansion!"

When Shao Ziqing saw Jiang Huai coming, he wanted to show him some kindness. He snorted coldly and pushed Jiang Zuiyao out.

Jiang Zuiyao was pushed backwards and couldn't help but lean backwards. Fortunately, Jiang Huai had quick eyesight and quick hands to help her in time.

With Jiang Huai's support, Jiang Zuiyao stood up and stared at Shao Ziqing fiercely.

Jiang Huai quickly tried to persuade him: "What's going on? Why should you be so angry?"

Shao Ziqing shook his sleeves angrily, sat on the chair angrily, and said angrily: "Master Jiang, why did you raise such a rebellious daughter?"

Jiang Huai knew about Shao Ziqing's violent temper and said quickly: "I am a master of teachings."

Shao Ziqing was in a bad mood and had no time to talk nonsense with them, so he said straightforwardly: "Master Jiang is Jiang Zuiyao's father, so I won't waste any more nonsense. Master Jiang is also the opposite of the Prime Minister, right?"

Jiang Huai's face darkened and he said, "Yes."

Jiang Huai quickly said helplessly: "I already know the ins and outs of this matter."

After that, Shao Ziqing crossed his legs, stroked the wrinkles on his gown, and said lightly: "Master Jiang, maybe I can help you."

As soon as these words came out, Jiang Huai was startled, and Jiang Zuiyao was also a little surprised.

Jiang Zuiyao looked at Shao Ziqing's indifferent expression and couldn't guess what Shao Ziqing was thinking. He was not that kind of kind and compassionate person. He must have some purpose.

Jiang Huai also guessed this and asked tentatively: "I wonder what you want me to do?"

Shao Ziqing smiled strangely: "I want Mr. Jiang's support."

Jiang Huai's eyes lit up. He is a veteran who is good at Tai Chi in the officialdom. He always pays attention to tact in everything he does. But at this moment, facing Shao Ziqing's request, Jiang Huai must care.

In just a few seconds, Jiang Huai had so many thoughts in his mind that he didn't know how to answer.

Jiang Zuiyao, who was standing aside, saw that the matter had developed to the point where Shao Ziqing wanted to intervene. She was somewhat trying to stop him, and asked with a cold face: "What do you mean by this? Are you exchanging conditions?"

Shao Ziqing was still sitting there leisurely and calmly: "That's right."

Jiang Zuiyao frowned: "But I don't want to exchange conditions with you. At least, I don't need your support."

Shao Ziqing raised his eyebrows: "Are you sure? I'm not boasting. If you have my help, you will be the icing on the cake. You may not know my ability to do things, but your father has been with me for many years, so you should know."

Faced with Shao Ziqing's confidence, Jiang Zuiyao felt that he was a little too narcissistic.

But in fact, Master Jiang did not say anything, and the expression on his face was regarded as acquiescence.

Shao Ziqing then said: "Actually, you should be glad that I am also quite interested in this matter, otherwise do you think I would allow you to inquire about it?"

Jiang Zuiyao cannot deny this.

Jiang Huai, who had been silent for a long time, thought a lot during this period, and then spoke: "Having you help me in this matter, as you said, is indeed the icing on the cake."

Shao Ziqing half-smiled but said, "Master Jiang, please speak more clearly."

Jiang Huai frowned: "As the saying goes, people with different paths don't agree with each other. Since we are all like-minded people now, why don't I agree?"

Jiang Huai said this very clearly.

What is like-mindedness?

Jiang Huai, a veteran in officialdom, had already seen through everything.

At this time, Jiang Huai said again: "Zui Yao is still young, and it is inevitable that some things are not comprehensive enough. Can you let me take her a step to talk and give her a few words?"

Shao Ziqing did not stop him and said generously: "This place is Mr. Jiang's residence, and Jiang Zuiyao is your daughter. You can do whatever you want."

Jiang Huai then glanced at Jiang Zuiyao and winked at Jiang Zuiyao, who then followed Jiang Huai to the back hall.

This place is very secluded. Since this is the place Jiang Huai was looking for, it must be a safe place.

Jiang Zuiyao said unscrupulously: "Father, do you really want to join forces with Shao Ziqing? He has always been cunning."

Jiang Huai breathed a sigh of relief: "Now that things have happened, do I have any other choice?"

This answer does seem weak, but it is true.

A trace of sadness appeared on Jiang Huai's face: "When things get to this point, we can't get past Shao Ziqing. Shao Ziqing also wants to intervene in this matter, otherwise do you think he will let you go back home? So everyone

Looking at the overall situation, we can only compromise."

Jiang Zuiyao was also quite helpless and blamed herself: "I didn't consider the cause and effect. If I had known such a result, I would have said nothing on that day and would not have gone to the Ministry of War with him."

Jiang Huai immediately shook his head: "It's useless to say all this now. In fact, having Shao Ziqing help me is not necessarily a bad thing."

Jiang Zuiyao frowned, took two steps back and forth, and asked, "Father, what on earth are you going to do? So mysterious?"

Jiang Huai smiled, very frivolously: "This is not something you should worry about. The marriage between the Shao family and the Jiang family is a good thing. Now that your sister has entered the palace as a concubine, and is favored by His Majesty, she can also be considered as a good thing for our family.

Do your best, so the affairs of the Shao family depend on you."

Jiang Zuiyao bit her lip. Although she didn't know what her father was going to do, she knew that he was hiding his selfish motives.

Jiang Huai patted Jiang Zuiyao's shoulder: "Things are not as simple as you think. I only told you that if you get involved in the officialdom, there will be no way back."

"Officialdom?" Jiang Zuiyao said firmly.

Jiang Huai nodded: "You are now deeply favored by the Queen Mother, and now that you have caused this incident, you have offended the Crown Prince. Besides, there is Shao Ziqing in the middle."

Jiang Zuiyao seemed a little unhappy: "This is what I hate the most. Is it possible that anything I want to do in the future must be approved by him? If he doesn't allow it, I can't do it?"

"After all, you are his wife now. There is a saying that when people are under the eaves, they have to bow their heads. This is a complicated matter, do you understand?"

Of course Jiang Zuiyao understood the truth, she was not a confused person.

She nodded slowly, and Jiang Huai said: "Let's go back, don't let Shao Ziqing wait too long."
