Chapter 102: Xiao Junhao Has Been Demoted

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

“My father was merely trying to lend a hand, but the servants misunderstood his intentions,” Lin Mengyao said with a gloomy look in her eyes, directing her gaze towards Lin San. “You should apologize to Lord Jiang now.”

Upon hearing Lin Mengyao’s words, Lin San quickly bowed his head to Jiang Ren.

Watching Lin San bow until his forehead bled, Jiang Ren frowned, “Enough.” “Lord Jiang, regarding the loss of the Third Lady’s shop, the Lin family will fully compensate according to the value. Today’s incident was truly a misunderstanding. I hope you won’t hold it against us.”

After speaking to Jiang Ren, Lin Mengyao turned to Xiao Nanye, “King Cheng, this matter was indeed a misunderstanding. I hope you can overlook it for the sake of Prince An.”

Regardless, Lin Mengyao’s previous rescue of Xiao Junmo was a fact.

Although Xiao JunMo didn’t come over to avoid arousing suspicion, everyone knew that Xiao Nanye and Xiao Junmo had a good relationship.

Silently, Jiang Peihuan spoke softly, “Third Uncle, since Miss Lin said she is willing to compensate for the loss of Third Aunt shop, it seems that this really is a misunderstanding.”

“Besides, the refurbishment of the palace is Prince Qing’s responsibility, and it doesn’t have much to do with Lord Lin.”

Upon hearing the first part of Jiang Peihuan’s sentence, a faint smile appeared in Lin Mengyao’s eyes. But upon hearing the latter, her face turned sour.

After Jiang Peihuan spoke, Jiang Ren responded indifferently, “Since Huan Er says so, perhaps this really is a misunderstanding.”

“But, i don’t want such a misunderstanding to happen a second time. Otherwise, 1 would have to speak to the Emperor with Lord Lin.”

By the end of his sentence, Jiang Ren’s eyes were filled with threat.

“Huan Er, let’s go home.”

After speaking, Jiang Ren turned to Jiang Peihuan.

Seeing this, Xiao Nanye also rose from his chair and left with Jiang Peihuan.

Looking at their retreating figures, the faces of the father and daughter of the Lin family were full of displeasure.

Watching the disappearing figures of Jiang Peihuan and others, Lin Mengyao turned to Lin Ruhai, “Father, what exactly is going on?”

“To refurblished the palace, we need not only money but also materials like wood and paint. The paint from the Liu family’s shop is the best in the capital. 1 also wanted to help Prince Qing.”

Jiang Peihuan understood the plans of the Lin family very clearly.

After all, in her past life, Lin Mengyao was the moonlight in Xiao Junhao’s heart.

“Huan Er, why did you stop me from speaking?”

After leaving the Lin’s house, Jiang Ren turned to Jiang Peihuan and asked.

Both Jiang Ren and Xiao Nanye looked puzzled. Facing their doubtful expressions, Jiang Peihuan said softly, “The matter of refurbished the palace, the Emperor clearly handed it to Prince Qing. Third Uncle, King Cheng, guess why the Lin family is so concerned on this matter.”

“Could it be that Lin Ruhai has already sided with Prince Qing?”

After a moment of silence, Jiang Ren turned to Jiang Peihuan.

Hearing this, Jiang Peihuan nodded, “You could say that.”

“But that’s not the whole reason.”

“If I’m not mistaken, there must be some deal between Xiao Junhao and Lin Ruhai, and the best deal is a marriage alliance.”

As soon as Jiang Peihuan finished speaking, Xiao Nanye, who was on Zhui Yun’s back, spoke.

Hearing the man’s words, surprise appeared in Jiang Peihuan’s eyes. She knew these things because she had experienced them in her previous life, but she didn’t expect Xiao Nanye to be so insightful.

“That Eldest Miss Lin is quite clever. No wonder she has won the heart of Prince Qing.”

“But compared to you, Huan Er, she is still lacking.”

As he spoke, Jiang Ren nodded seriously.

Seeing her Uncle’s expression, Jiang Peihuan was a bit amused, “Third Uncle, you are praising your own family.”

“I feel the same.”

At this point, Xiao Nanye also chimed in.

Upon hearing his words, Jiang Peihuan fell silent.

Soon after, Jiang Ren laughed, “Your Highness, by now you’re also considered as part of the family, haha…”

“Third Uncle?”

Hearing Jiang Ren’s laughter, Jiang Peihuan gave her uncle a disgruntled look.

“Okay, okay… I’ll stop. Your Third Aunt is waiting for me. King Chen, please make sure Huan Er gets home safely.”

“Don’t worry, lord Jiang. I will ensure Huan Er reaches the General’s Mansion safely.”

“What are you all waiting for? Hurry up and follow me.”

Seeing that Deputy General Liu and others were still silently following, Jiang Ren looked at them irritably and spoke.

Soon, Jiang Ren left with Deputy General Liu and others. Only Xiao Nanye and Jiang Peihuan were left on the street. Han Feng naturally followed Jiang Ren. “Huan Er, do you hate Xiao Junhao?”

Xiao Nanye suddenly asked. Upon hearing this name, Jiang Peihuan was stunned.

When she first returned, she constantly thought about killing Xiao Junhao, but over time, her thoughts gradually changed, because her loved ones were alive and well.

She didn’t want hatred to consume all her energy, so her thoughts changed a bit, but now hearing his name, hatred and disgust immediately flooded Jiang Peihuan’s eyes.

Jiang Peihuan turned to look at Xiao Nanye and said straightforwardly, “Not only do 1 dislike him, 1 detest him, and 1 hate him.”

Jiang Peihuan’s tone was indifferent, but when she mentioned Xiao Junhao, her eyes were filled with cold hostility.

Upon hearing Jiang Peihuan’s words, a complicated expression flashed through Xiao Nanye’s eyes. After a moment, he suddenly laughed, “That’s good. I also dislike him very much.”

Just as Jiang Peihuan was about to ask Xiao Nanye why he asked this question, the Lie Feng stopped. They had arrived at the General’s Mansion.

“It’s getting late. You should go back and rest early.”

At the gate of the General’s Mansion, Xiao Nanye pulled the reins and spoke to Jiang Peihuan, who was by his side.

Nodding, Jiang Peihuan dismounted.

After thinking for a while, she looked at the man on the horse and said, “Your

Highness should also go back and rest early.”

“Hmm.”

Seeing the man nod, Jiang Peihuan turned around and entered the General’s Mansion. As the gates closed, Xiao Nanye turned to leave.

But instead of returning to his own mansion, Xiao Nanye went to the palace.

Jiang Peihuan knew nothing of this.

The next morning, just as Jiang Peihuan finished her exercises, she saw Jiang Ren rushing towards her plum garden.

“Huan Er, Prince Qing has been demoted.”

Jiang Peihuan was about to speak when she heard Jiang Ren’s voice.

At his words, Jiang Peihuan looked surprised.

In her past life, Xiao Junhao never experienced being demoted.

“Third Uncle, what happened?”

“I’m not sure about the specifics. Anyway, during the court meeting this morning, the Emperor suddenly decreed to demote Prince Qing to a lower-ranked prince.”

“With this, it would be very difficult for Prince Qing to regain his status.”

Usually, once a prince is appointed, as long as he does not commit any grave crimes, he would not be demoted..
