Marrying into a poor family

Chapter 345 Old Prince

This is a test to test the confidence of the Ninth Prince's Palace, its plans, and its attitude towards the Du family.

Of course, the most important thing is your tolerance for yourself.

At the same time, she was also evaluating her own value in being used. What exactly did the Ninth Prince's Mansion want her to do?
Even if you are the one who stands in front of Yao Xiang, you still have to see if it is worth it?
Yes, Qin Xiang is a person who puts interests first. She has the coldness flowing from her father and grandfather in her bones, but she also has the love of her grandmother and the tenderness of her mother.

Therefore, Qin Xiang is a contradictory person, but she doesn't know it.

Ruthless, she can kill and end her own life without hesitation.

Love, she can rack her brains to protect her mother; work hard to save Qin Yan; she will also be soft-hearted in front of Liu, and even put aside her grudges to help Qin Yao.

When she was reborn, she didn't trust anyone, with strong hatred and unwillingness, as well as resentment towards this world.

Fortunately, she met Xiao Chenyu, who was considerate, tolerant, considerate, and sympathetic to her.

Therefore, if it can help Xiao Chenyu, Qin Xiang is willing to think more or compromise appropriately.

Qin Xiang was only twenty years old, but she was already calculating gains and losses, planning, and negotiating with the old prince. This actually made the old prince look at her differently.

"You have a grudge against Du Ziren?" The old prince asked without answering.

"What hatred can I have against him? It's just that this man bullied my child's father in the college. I am a narrow-minded person. Xiao Chenyu can tolerate it, but I am so embarrassed that I can't bear it."

The old prince still didn't give a direct answer, and asked calmly: "If I don't help you, what are you going to do?"

"Cats have their own ways, mice have their own ways. Of course I have my own method, but I don't know whether it will work or whether I can escape unscathed."

When she said this, Qin Xiang's indifferent expression made the old prince stunned for a moment.

Then, he shook his head and sighed, looking at the portrait hanging on the wall: "In this regard, you are very similar to her, very stubborn."

Qin Xiang also looked over and smiled a little reluctantly: "So, some things should be easier, otherwise there will be regrets."

"Du family, please don't act rashly. This is for your own good." The Ninth Prince finally said seriously: "However, I am telling you this today to prepare for dealing with the Du family in the future. I"

The Ninth Prince paused and said calmly: "I'm afraid that time is running out, and I may not be sure to bring down the Du family in my lifetime. If, after I die, the Du family is still at the top, then you can help Help Yaoxiang.”

What did he mean when he said his days were short?
Qin Xiang raised her head and looked carefully at his face, but she couldn't see anything wrong. Although the man in front of her was a bit old, he still looked good. He was still very reluctant to die soon.

"I see that you look pretty good, what can I say?"

"I'll teach you something today. No matter what, don't let you see your status, mood, or preferences. Don't let others know your weaknesses. The more others know about you, the more they can control you and attack you."

Qin Xiang opened her mouth, but was speechless.

Later she said: "I can't hide my weakness, and I don't plan to hide it." Yes, her weakness is the family around her, as well as relatives and friends who are really good to her.

"Being emotional is a woman after all, alas!" The old prince sighed, without much real emotion in his tone, just as if he was just talking casually.

Qin Xi thought to herself, you do have two sons, but what will be the result? Don't you have to rely on Yaoxiang to support your family?
"I will make Yao Xiang's child the crown prince before I die, but if I leave, it will be difficult for him to successfully become the prince of this palace."

Qin Xiang thought about it for a moment and realized that it seemed that Yao Xiang was in charge in the house, but in fact there were two good men who followed the rules.

Of course, this conformity may be just a facade. Once one's own interests are involved, they may show their claws and prey on them ferociously.

"You mean, let me help Yao Xiang in the future. After all, she and I still have some blood ties, and I am an outsider with no identity, and I can't covet the status of the Nine Princes' Palace. I am simply the best candidate, right? "

The Ninth Prince nodded and said calmly: "After much thought, you are indeed the most suitable candidate. You are smooth, smart, and ruthless. You don't follow the rules but value family ties. You are always soft-hearted towards people who are kind to you. "

Qin Xiang's mouth opened wide, but she couldn't utter a word. Isn't this what the old prince taught her just now? Don't let others know too much about your preferences and circumstances, otherwise, you will be easily manipulated and taken advantage of.

The old prince spoke from his own experience and taught this incisively and vividly.

Qin Xi understood, understood a lot.

Anyway, in front of the old prince, he was already a transparent person, so he simply let go and spoke.

"Why not just kick those two adopted masters out? Do you want to keep them here to cause trouble for Yao Xiang?"

Qin Xiang's words were not polite. The old prince seemed to prefer such a straightforward way of speaking and said with a smile: "Yao Xiang still lacks experience. There is still some use in keeping those two people with ulterior motives. Besides, it was decided by the clan to send them. I am not willing to be an enemy of the clan now, but I will bear it in the future if I make too many enemies.”

Qin Xi resisted the urge to roll her eyes. What did the clan's anger have to do with her?

Besides, although Yao Xiang treats her well, it is far from the point where she would sacrifice her life and blood for her. How much does she want to see? How much is the return?
Qin Xiang agreed, even if the Ninth Prince's Mansion without the Ninth Prince was better than Qin Xiang's status, it would be more convenient for Qin Xiang to do things. As for how much help, that is a matter for later.

The old prince gave Qin Xiang an object, a jade pendant. This was the old prince's personal jade pendant. It is said that it was given to him by the late emperor.

The late emperor was the old prince's half-brother, and the current emperor was his nephew.

Qin Xiang looked over and over and saw a four-clawed flying dragon on it. She frowned and asked, "Can I use this thing?"

"You don't need to wear it every day, but at critical moments, it still has some use."

Qin Xiang couldn't think of where to use it, but she kept it carefully. She had no relationship with Yaoxiang at the beginning, so she used the banner of Princess Yaoxiang to get some benefits. Now what should she do with the things that were brought to her? Maybe not?
She put away the jade pendant and looked at the old prince again: "Where's my mother? You don't plan to see her again? Don't you plan to talk to her?"

Speaking of Su's family, a complex emotion finally appeared on the old prince's face, and then he shook his head: "She is very afraid of me, and she trembles all over when she is in the same room with me. Forget it, she is well protected by you now. That’s good!”

Qin Xiang nodded and was about to stand up to leave when she heard the old prince say: "I suddenly thought of someone, so I'd better tell you."

"Who?" Qin Xiang sat down again at a loss.
