Jiang Han could not guarantee anything. However, he was certain that with Langya Prince's current ambitions, he would not be satisfied with merely being a prince. Human hearts are difficult to gauge; why not let His Majesty test them?
Upon hearing this, Su Qianxue became intrigued. Her beautiful eyes sparkled as she looked at Jiang Han. "How do we test them?"
Jiang Han shared his plan with Su Qianxue.
Meanwhile, at Langya Wangfu, Che Chengyun anxiously awaited Che Liu's return. During this time, he had not been idle; instead, he had sent others to inquire about suitable Imperial Merchants. Currently, he knew far too little about this Imperial Merchant, only that she had been appointed by Su Qianxue.
After a while, Che Liu hurried back, flustered. "Reporting back, that Imperial Merchant insists on favoring Jiang Han."
The person who had originally been lying on the stretcher no longer pretended to be paralyzed after returning to the Wangfu; instead, he obediently followed Che Liu.
The group recounted everything that had just happened. Che Chengyun furrowed his brow. "That Imperial Merchant has such a close relationship with the emperor? Even a small matter like this can draw His Majesty's attention?"
He pondered for a moment. "Are you sure she genuinely intends to report this to Your Majesty, or is she trying to intimidate you?"
After Che Chengyun spoke, the others exchanged glances. How could they possibly guess?
Che Liu thought for a moment and replied, "I don't know what that Imperial Merchant is thinking, but her aura is quite extraordinary! Others may not notice, but I can see clearly that her clothes are absolutely luxurious and expensive—something an ordinary Imperial Merchant could not afford."
Che Chengyun frowned. "What do you mean by that? Most Imperial Merchants dress quite well; what can you be certain of?"
Che Liu's tone was firm. "I can roughly conclude that she has ties to the royal family. The silks and satins she wears are rare among the Imperial Merchants we know. Moreover, her demeanor suggests there is definitely some significant power behind her!"
To stand up against us at Langya Wangfu in front of everyone, it seems that this person knows more than just how to address Your Majesty.
These pieces of news are incredibly valuable to Che Chengyun!
Interesting, and the key point is that the other party is a young woman? There are indeed many young women in business. But to say that she has any connection to the royal family and dares to confront us at Langya Wangfu, that’s quite rare.
Tomorrow, the Crown Prince Zhao family should take a look; if he remembers correctly, they recently just established ties with the royal family, right? A plan gradually began to take shape in his mind.
As for the matter concerning the Imperial Merchant, Che Liu had to ruin his son’s mood and continued, “Son, there’s also that Jiang Han.”
Jiang Han is just a useless merchant; how is he still alive now? What’s going on?
Hearing this name made his anger rise uncontrollably.
Che Liu swallowed hard and said, “He demands you compensate him for everything and claims that if you don’t, he will report it to the Dali Temple!”
After finishing his words, Che Chengyun's mouth twitched for a moment.
What nonsense is this? He smashed a few things and now wants to report to the Dali Temple?
This made Che Chengyun hesitate. If it were before, he would have completely ignored it. Although the Dali Temple doesn’t side with Langya Wangfu, as long as Your Majesty doesn’t speak up, they wouldn’t be foolish enough to take on work themselves. Not to mention Luo Yuhua. Xingbu is the same. As long as Su Qianxue hasn’t moved to confront Langya Wangfu, Luo Yuhua wouldn’t dare provoke them.
But now it’s different; that Imperial Merchant seems to have an extraordinary relationship with Your Majesty. With other royal backgrounds involved, it’s likely that even without the Emperor stepping in, the Dali Temple would still intervene.
Now he truly found himself in a dilemma. After some contemplation, he decided: fine, let’s compensate him. However, I want to personally meet this Imperial Merchant!
In the Lin General's Residence, Lin Qingyue looked down with disdain at Zhuo Zishi, who was kneeling on the ground.
"Do you want to see your family?" she asked.
Zhuo Zishi nodded vigorously, "Please, General Lin, grant me this wish! During this time, I have done everything you asked of me, including delivering food from the shop to the people of Langya Wangfu and even adding more supplies inside. I miss my family dearly and wish to see them. By the way, when can I leave here with my family?"
Lin Qingyue regarded the kneeling figure with contempt. "In a few days, perhaps. Jiang Han hasn’t kicked you out yet, has he? It’s just a scare tactic. Just tell him it has nothing to do with me; simply insist that you haven’t helped me at all."
She believed that Jiang Han, that foolish man, was kind-hearted enough that if Zhuo Zishi played the victim card a little, he would surely let him stay.
"General Lin," Zhuo Zishi continued eagerly, "I have a secret about Jiang Han that could bring forth ten months' worth of supplies from Wan Dajun! I wonder if this secret could allow me to see my family?"
Lin Qingyue's eyes widened in surprise. "You really know something?"
Zhuo Zishi lifted his gaze, his eyes fixed intently on Lin Qingyue. "For the sake of my family, I wouldn’t dare lie!"
The secret indeed piqued Lin Qingyue's interest. She disregarded everything else and said, "Tell me how he manages to obtain it, and I will let you and your family leave here today. As for the reward I promised you before, it will not be diminished in the slightest! The Lin Family Army will personally escort you out of the capital!"
Hope surged within Zhuo Zishi's heart. "Please, General Lin, allow me to see my family. In front of them, I will tell you everything in detail!"
