One hour later, Jiang Shaohua emerged from Duke An's Mansion.
Chen Jinyu accompanied the Commandery Princess into the carriage and asked quietly, "How did your conversation with Duke An go?"
Jiang Shaohua curled her lips slightly, "That old fox, he entertained me with pleasantries and said a basketful of nice words. But when it came to pressing matters, he wouldn't say a single word."
For instance, when she asked for the list of the Grand Empress Dowager's faction, Duke An only vaguely mentioned the most obvious ones and refused to reveal those hidden in the shadows.
This was for fear that she might recruit everyone to her side.
Chen Jinyu pursed his lips upon hearing this, "Not too great at doing his duties, but quite alert in seizing power and struggling for influence."
