Chapter 196 East Wind
As soon as he left, Yingliu turned around and hurried back to the house.
As soon as she entered the room, she knelt down in front of Su Qingqing and said, "General, I seem to be exposed."
Su Qingqing was drinking wine from the cup. When she heard this, she raised her eyebrows and glanced towards the door, then she understood what she meant.
Xiao Yu saw it.
Even though he didn't see the true relationship between Su Qingqing and Ying Liu, he realized that this chance encounter today was a setup.
He is indeed a smart man.
Su Qingqing waved her hand, "It's okay."
Ying Liu was worried, "What if he tells others?"
Su Qingqing's eyes were relaxed. "Not for now. He is now a bird trapped in a cage. He has no choice but to leave us alone. He is a smart man. Even if he wants to report me and punish me, he will never do so now."
This will become a handle .
He will wait until he is fully grown and powerful.
If he really intended to fight back.
What's more, if he has a handle in his hand, he will feel more at ease when doing things.
After Xiao Yu came out of the Broken Red Tower, he went straight back to the Rong'an Marquis' Mansion. As soon as he got back, he heard the servants talking about the Crown Prince's visit today.
The explosion in the fur shop took the ending of Su Yunhe's family as an example. In fact, the servants in Rong'an Marquis' Mansion have been a little uneasy these days.
Everyone was privately speculating on how the contest between the Crown Prince and their Lord would end. Now the Crown Prince suddenly entrusted the matter of investigating the account books to the Young Master, which seemed strange no matter how one looked at it.
Gossip could be heard scattered from the gate all the way to his own yard. Xiao Yu sneered in his heart at the prince and his wife who were calculating.
"elder brother."
As soon as he entered the yard, his sister, the eighth daughter of a concubine from the Rong'an Marquis's mansion, came out timidly from the side and poked her head out to call him.
Xiao Yu waved at her, "What's wrong?"
The eighth lady ran forward and hugged Xiao Yu, "Brother, I heard from my eldest sister-in-law and others today that mother has already arranged a marriage for you, and said that she will choose a date after the New Year."
There was timidity in Eighth Miss's voice.
"My second sister-in-law came to me quietly today and asked me to tell you that the girl my mother found is not a very good person. She had an unclear relationship with her cousins in the past and has a wild temper. Brother."
Their two aunts passed away early, so the brother and sister depended on each other for survival.
Xiao Yu was clear-headed and had not been completely spoiled by the wife of Marquis Rong'an, but he usually did not dare to give his sister too much advice for fear that she would be discovered.
Xiao Yu stroked his sister's hair and soothed her gently, "It's okay, don't be afraid, rumors may not be accurate, and unruly people are also straightforward."
Miss Eight looked up at him with tears in her eyes, "But I'm afraid this isn't a good match."
"My mother picked it for me, so it can't be bad. Don't worry about it. You'll become ugly if you cry too much. How is father today?" Xiao Yu changed the subject abruptly.
The Eighth Miss followed suit and said, "I heard from my sisters that he is much better. My eldest brother talked with father in the study for a long time today. He should be fine."
After talking for a while, Miss Eight left reluctantly .
As soon as she returned to the room, the conversation she had just had with Xiao Yu was told by a maid in the room.
The head maid passed on these words word for word to the wife of Marquis Rong'an.
After hearing the news, Lady Rong'an sneered as she held her tea, "He's sensible."
…
Rong'an Marquis Mansion, study.
Rong Anhou angrily knocked over the medicine brought by the servant, "I'm not sick, why do I drink this bitter soup all day long? Take it away."
The servant was so scared that he lowered his head and stepped back, secretly glancing at the prince standing aside.
The prince waved his hand at him and said, "You go down first."
If the servant is pardoned, he will get out quickly.
The prince then said to Rong An Hou: "Father, please calm down. Anger is harmful to your health."
Rong Anhou slammed the table in anger, "What disease do I have? I was fine a few days ago. You give me this medicine every day. The more I take it, the worse I feel. I think there is something wrong with this medicine."
The prince was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
This medicine was prescribed by the doctor in the mansion. This doctor has been working for Rong'an Marquis for decades, so he is naturally loyal and reliable.
The person who boiled the medicine was Zhao again.
Ever since the incident, Zhao has been in a state of panic all day long. If anything happens to Marquis Rong'an, she will be the first to suffer, so she naturally dare not do anything.
What's more, Rong'an Hou's confidants are watching him nearby.
As soon as the medicine was boiled, it was taken away directly by the servants in the study.
Who can do this?
However, the patient was very suspicious, and the prince had no way of reasoning with Marquis Rong'an on this matter, so he had to change the subject.
"Father, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asked me to check the accounts. How should I report the accounts when the time comes? The Crown Prince must have a backup plan. This is obviously a trap. I feel that no matter how I report it, I will fall into the trap."
The prince regretted it so much.
When the prince mentioned this matter, his first reaction was that he must not let the prince find out about the problem with the account books, so he accepted the task on a whim.
At that time, he was secretly happy that the prince's brain was squeezed by the door.
Now, he realized that it was his head that was squeezed through the door.
The topic shifted here, and Marquis Rong'an calmed down a lot, "You don't have to blame yourself. Even if you refused at that time, the prince must have other tricks waiting for you.
Since he has come, it is a sure thing."
The mission that the prince performed in Bashu directly dealt a heavy blow to the party of the Duke of Zhenguo, making it difficult for them to recover. This is enough to prove that this person is difficult to deal with.
When it comes to dealing with difficult people like this, Marquis Rong'an always has only one way, and it always works.
Su Qingqing back then.
Today's Rongque.
Just make this person disappear.
If you can't solve the problem itself, then solve the person who created the problem. If that person is gone, everything will be solved.
"The account book will probably be submitted around the twenty-fifth day of the lunar year. Before that, there will be a palace banquet on the twenty-third day of the lunar year, which is the small New Year's Eve."
Marquis Rong'an tapped the table lightly with his index finger. When he spoke of these things, his eyes narrowed slightly, with a cold and cruel light in them.
"Even if this doesn't work out, your sister's marriage to the Third Prince... we should at least have the palace hold a banquet for this event before the New Year.
So, you have two chances.
These two times, just seize one success and it will be fine.
The people we buried in front of the Queen Mother have been used for so many years. "
The prince's face suddenly changed. He understood what Marquis Rong'an meant, and a burning light rose in his eyes.
Rong An Hou said: "The 23rd is the most suitable date, at that time all the princes will give gifts to the emperor and the empress dowager.
The Duke of Zhenguo and his party want to turn the tables, so they must attach great importance to this New Year's Eve, and the gifts they send must be of extraordinary significance.
Not to mention the Third Prince, Xiang Zheng not only completely offended the Second Prince's party, but also left a very bad impression on the Emperor. In the spring of next year, when the various departments re-selected their candidates, could Xiang Zheng stay in Beijing..."
When Xiang Zheng was mentioned, Marquis Rong'an paused for a moment, and a smile gradually appeared on the corners of his mouth.
"Of course the emperor will not let Xiang Zheng stay in Beijing, so the Third Prince will definitely make some moves. You can take advantage of the Third Prince's momentum."
