Chapter 1582: Conditional Loyalty
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Old Master Jiang was abandoning all his pride this time. If he had a choice, he wouldn’t have come to beg.
At this ripe age of his, he has already seen everything. He had plotted and schemed for the Jiang family, but he would have never expected the family to fall because of his daughter, Jiang Jingshan.
Jiang Shantao was not even worth mentioning.
Which was why he was frustrated and anxious. Others might be unable to guess the mastermind behind this chain of events that happened to the Lu and Yuan families, but he knew clearly that it was definitely related to Young Master Xie.
After all, the Jiang family used to be like a vassal family to the Xie family. The latter could raise them up and drop them down at any moment, and they would not be able to do anything about it. He could only blame it on how dumb Jiang Jingshan was to anger Yun Bixue.
Old Master Jiang regretted it, but he still had to make plans for the Jiang family. Perhaps Jiang Jingshan’s death would be able to mitigate some of the anger that Young Master Xie and Yun Bixue felt.
There were numerous internal conflicts within the Jiang family. With Majesty Huang investigating the illegal smuggling of firearms, the imperial capital would definitely be affected to a certain degree.
Furthermore, the Jiang family was at the brink of its destruction. He had no other choice but to beg Young Master Xie.
“Old Master Jiang has flattered us. Even if you begged us, what can we do?”
Old Master Jiang’s resentment was brewing inside, but he had no choice but to lower his head. “As long as Young Master Xie helps us, as Jiang family’s representative, I’ll pledge our loyalty to the Xie family.”
Yun Bixue let out a sardonic laugh. “Old Master Jiang, I think you must be getting senile with your old age. You are the one asking for our help, so on what grounds are you to speak about conditions? If we don’t help the Jiang family, you won’t be loyal to the Xie family?”
“Young Madam, please calm down. That was not what I meant.” Old Master Jiang thought inwardly that they had to get over this hurdle to protect the Jiang family. The rest could come later.
By then, who knew if Yun Bixue would still be around?
It was possible for Young Master Xie to return to headquarters as well, so the Jiang family would be able to become influential in the imperial capital again.
Old Master Jiang’s calculations were great. It was just a pity that he wouldn’t get a chance.
Yun Bixue was furious. The Xie family initially arranged for these noble families to maintain the peace of Country A. The Jiang family was nothing in the past. If not for the Xie family’s help, they wouldn’t be able to reach their current status.
Back then, the Jiang family’s Master swore their allegiance to the Xie family, but right now, the loyalty was actually used as a bargaining chip. How hilarious.
“Old Master Jiang, wasn’t your family originally supposed to be loyal to the Xie family? Since when did that loyalty become conditional? Wow, I’ve seen everything today.”
Seeing Yun Bixue angry, Xie Limo regretted letting her meet them. He stroked her hand and patted her head to comfort her. “There’s no need to be angry over these people!”
With a single sentence of comfort, Yun Bixue slowly regained her composure.
Xie Limo knew that Yun Bixue was feeling indignant on his behalf.
“Young Madam, please calm down. This old man is sincerely begging. The Jiang family belongs to the Xie family, and I’ve always been loyal.”
Yun Bixue huffed and asked coldly, “Then let me ask you, what were you thinking when you sent your daughter to seduce Xie Limo? That was your form of being loyal? Hm?”
Old Master Jiang was startled. How did she know about this? It was true that he held those thoughts in the past, but those were things he did not want to admit.
“That is a misunderstanding. Please calm down!”
