Chapter 1,362 The Current Situation of the Xiao Family

The incident in Dong'an Mansion was just an example. The bigger grudge was the third prince's exposure of the affair between Gong Qiu and the imperial concubine.

It was him who brought this matter to the attention of the late emperor, which led to Gong Qiu's beheading, the concubine's death, the fact that the second prince was not a dragon, and several other things were implicated.

It can be said that the third prince single-handedly contributed to the second prince's current fate.

These two people have sworn hatred, but now the third prince is harboring the second prince? ?

Shu Yu looked at the letter and couldn't help but sigh: These days, interests really come first. In order to achieve a common goal, the huge hatred can be temporarily put aside.

You know, when the third prince was just one step away from the throne, he was suddenly defeated by the current emperor, and was treated as a major threat. He was on guard and could do nothing, so he was naturally unwilling to accept it.

He also knew that the second prince was not the son of the late emperor, and would not be able to ascend to that position no matter what. Since both parties had a common goal, it was not impossible to cooperate.

But from Shu Yu's point of view, this was clearly looking for death.

If the second prince had no great benefits, why would he cooperate with the third prince to deal with the current emperor?

Shu Yu shook his head and continued reading the letter.

The letter said that it was really an unexpected thing to discover the whereabouts of the second prince, and it was related to Xiang Weinan.

Qi Lie said when he came over earlier that Xiang Weinan's wife, Xiao, returned to the capital first, but was left at her parents' home. She was said to be sick, and even Xiang Weinan's mother went to pick her up, but she couldn't be brought back.

Xiang Weinan finally went back some time ago. When he returned to Beijing, the first thing he did was to go to the Xiao family.

Firstly, I came to visit my ‘sick’ father-in-law, secondly, I wanted to take my wife back, and thirdly, I went to check out the situation of the Xiao family.

The Xiao family had no reason to stop her, but what made Xiang Weinan feel strange was that when he saw Mrs. Xiao, he found that her whole body had lost weight rapidly.

It's only been two or three months since we last met, so Xiao's changes have been too great.

Mrs. Xiao just explained that she was worried about her father's condition and that she was like this because he couldn't eat or sleep well.

But Xiang Weinan had a keen mind and felt something was wrong.

The most obvious thing is that the maids and women around Mrs. Xiao all have unfamiliar faces.

The familiar Aunt Gu and Shui Xin were gone. The two maids present were staring at Mrs. Xiao as if they were spying on her.

Xiang Weinan threatened to tell Mrs. Xiao some private words between husband and wife, but the two maids did not agree.

No, it's not that they don't agree, it's that Mr. Xiao doesn't agree.

Mrs. Xiao used to long to be alone with Xiang Weinan, but this reaction and attitude were so unusual.

Xiang Weinan had many doubts in his heart, but he still couldn't ask them.

He didn't stay at Xiao's house for long before Mrs. Xiao urged him to go back.

But before leaving, Madam Xiao hugged him, and with just this move, a handkerchief was silently stuffed into Xiang Weinan's hand.

Realizing the seriousness of the matter, Xiang Weinan said nothing at the moment and put the veil away calmly. After returning home, I opened the veil and took a look, only to find that the words on the veil were not written with a brush, but spelled out with several kinds of fat powder and even blood stains.

Xiang Weinan's eyes twitched at that time. Mrs. Xiao wanted to write a letter to him, but she didn't use pen and ink, which meant that she couldn't touch it at all.

In other words, it could be touched, but someone was watching, and she couldn't use it.

Looking at the content of the letter again, Xiang Weinan's expression changed even more.

Mrs. Xiao asked him to save her and her parents because she accidentally saw the second prince in the Xiao family.
