Sign in: The female supporting character in the book disrupted the heroine's glory

Chapter 337:2 Your Highness, are you going to dig coal?

"Second Master! Let's leave the princess to the Fourth Prince. When they return to the capital, what will he do if he reports you to the Emperor and the Empress Dowager?"

Jin Ming was a little worried. This time, the Second Prince only left a letter and went back to Tongzhou Prefecture. If the Queen Mother knew about it, she would inevitably be dissatisfied with the Prince.

"We are short of manpower. If we don't get back to Tongzhou Prefecture before the fourth brother, how can we intervene in the new policy? Do you think the fourth brother will be honest? He has already ordered Tong Huaian to start winning over those merchants."

The second prince snorted coldly. When he thought of the capable people around the fourth prince, he couldn't help but feel a little envious. He thought of Jiang Youzhen again. This girl just refused to do things for him. Otherwise, why would he come here in person?

"Second Master, you just don't feel comfortable letting others do it, but this matter is very serious and should be treated carefully."

Jin Ming could understand the Second Master's difficulties. Didn't the Fourth Prince also worry about other people? If it weren't for Tong Huaian, I'm afraid the Fourth Prince would have come in person, right?

"Of course I am worried. Winning over the merchants is the first step. If all the merchants defect to the Fourth Master, then my supervision will be in vain. If they unite with the officials of the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Works and become grasshoppers on a rope, then won't I become a joke?"

The second prince stroked the water bag. In fact, he had asked Zhou Hai to go to those wealthy families to persuade them a few days ago. But those people were cunning. Although the imperial edict had not been issued, rumors had spread. They were all waiting and watching, and were unwilling to give in easily.

Because of his family background, he didn't have many supporters in the court and was already in a weak position. How could he impress those merchants without taking some benefits?

Jin Ming sighed, "But what the staff members said does make some sense. We are indeed in a weak position at the moment."

He is a straightforward person. He knows that honest advice may be unpleasant to the ear, but he still speaks it out.

"I am afraid that the Second Master will offend the Queen Mother again and make trouble for you. Besides, the Emperor..."

"Don't worry! They won't return to Beijing so soon!" said the second prince firmly.

"Ah? But the convoy has already set off." Jin Ming was very confused.

"Do you think the Wan family wants her to return to the capital safely? Who knows what methods those idiots will come up with!" The second prince sneered.

It only takes a little provocation for those people to do something incredibly stupid. Otherwise, the princess' husband Yibin would not have ruined his future like that. This is the stupidity of the Wan family.

However, Princess Changsui was so cruel as to kill her husband, so she was also a ruthless person.

"Drag it out for ten days or half a month. When the situation is settled, we can return to the capital. I have already sent people to keep an eye on it. As long as no one dies, it's fine!"

When Jin Ming heard this, he immediately felt that the Second Prince was truly resourceful. He admired the Second Prince very much, but it was a pity about his background.

I couldn't help but think of Jiang Youzhen. Although this kid couldn't compare to the second prince, he was also a capable guy.

"Let's go! Hurry up and get going."

Although the inside of his legs was a little painful, the Second Prince did not dare to rest for too long. To him, this little pain was nothing.

"Second Master, shall we go directly to the other courtyard?"

The second prince jumped on his horse and said without looking back: "Go find Jiang Youzhen!"

Fuxue

Jiang Youzhen had just come out of Qian Chongen's dormitory. More than half an hour had passed and it was almost dark.

"Master Jiang!"

Just as she was about to climb onto the carriage, Jiang Youzhen heard someone calling her. She turned around and saw that it was the steward who had watched her rescue Lanhua in the Second Prince's villa last time.

She turned her gaze to the horse behind the man, a plain-looking carriage, but it was obvious who was sitting inside.

"Mr. Jiang, my second master wants to see you."

Jiang Youzhen let out a sigh of relief. It was really a busy day.

She climbed onto the other's carriage calmly, and as soon as she sat down, she turned her gaze to the Second Prince who was resting with his eyes closed.

I just felt that the beautiful woman who was radiant before has become a withered yesterday's flower, ahem! It's a bit exaggerated, but she really looks very tired, even her body is still covered with dust, and her clothes are very simple and low-key.

Curiously looking at the heavy blue shadows under the Second Prince's eyes, Jiang Youzhen clicked his tongue and said, "Second Prince! Have you been digging coal for several nights in a row? Why do you look so haggard?"

The second prince had just opened his eyes, and when he heard this, he almost laughed out of anger.

"Or you?" Jiang Youzhen looked suspicious. "Although you are still young, you still need to know how to be restrained!"

I feel like I’m at a loss!

The second prince almost spat out a mouthful of blood. What did Jiang Youzhen mean by this? And how could she, a fourteen-year-old girl, know all this?

"What do you mean by restraint? I travel day and night just to see you. What kind of messed up people are around you? They have corrupted you."

The second prince found it unbelievable. Did this girl really think of herself as a man?

Jiang Youzhen was speechless. "Don't say that. It makes me look guilty. And you came all the way to see me? Day and night?"

I believe you as a ghost!

Jiang Youzhen spread his hands towards the Second Prince, who was stunned.

"What?"

"Aren't you here to give me the lease of the shop?"

The second prince immediately said angrily: "The house hasn't been built yet, and the merchants haven't paid the money yet, so where did the lease come from?"

"Then why did you come to me? Shouldn't you quickly find those merchants and start the operation?" Jiang Youzhen looked at him sideways. This guy must be up to no good reason if he came to him.

"Ahem!" The Second Prince coughed lightly, "It's so late, I'm hungry, let's eat first."

He knocked on the car wall, "Go to Fuyun Pavilion!"

Jiang Youzhen immediately turned his head to look at him, "Are you okay? Are you going to the Fourth Prince's territory?"

This? Should I remind him? After all, it is related to my own business of making money. If the Second Prince makes a mistake and is sidelined by the Fourth Prince, can I still make money?

If she later turned against the Fourth Prince, Jiang Youzhen felt that she was not so shameless. At least she could not be a fence-sitter on one thing, she still had some bottom line.

"Why don't you just come to my house and have a bite?"

The second prince raised his eyebrows and looked at Jiang Youzhen, his eyes full of smiles.

"It's too late. We still have things to talk about after dinner. Your Highness can't be looking for me to chat, right?"

The second prince nodded and said, "Then let's go to the house in Mingluo Lane."

When Jiang Youzhen and the others returned, it was already dark. She had previously asked Wen Ruyu and the others to eat first, so at this moment, only Jiang Youzhen and the Second Prince were at the table.

Watching the Second Prince chewing slowly and with elegant manners, Jiang Youzhen felt that he was worthy of being born into a royal family, as there was nothing wrong with his rules.

The second prince had actually been observing Jiang Youzhen's movements. Although this girl came from a peasant family, she was not vulgar, but rather quite gentle. Her movements were as smooth as flowing water, but she also ate a lot.

I have to say, it looks pretty authentic when installed.

After returning to the study, Jiang Youzhen immediately ordered someone to serve tea.

"All of you get out!" The second prince sat in front of Jiang Youzhen's desk in a dignified manner and waved to Qinglang and the others behind him.

Qing Lang and Qing Yan immediately looked at Jiang Youzhen, and only after Jiang Youzhen nodded slightly did they leave.
