428: Sowing Discord

Seeing Su Xinyi's speechless look, Yan Junchu smiled and said: "He is a man who looks at the scenery and the moon when doing things, but he doesn't hesitate to do evil things. He just said that he deceived Lu Minglin at the cost of self-injury, and that's all. , he also dragged Mu Xing into trouble. I also know a lot about Mu Xing’s temper. You think he can persuade someone like Mu Xing to agree to his plan, but he can’t do it without a little bit of evil heart.”

Su Xinyi didn't know how to refute that His Highness's feelings towards her eldest brother-in-law were the same as when she first met him.

"As for the affairs of the Weng family, the stewardess you sent should come back from the Yin family. When the fifth sister comes over, tell her that if the Weng family contacts her, she will meet with them and tell the Weng family what they want from her. I tell you what to do.”

Su Xinyi heard this and said: "If someone comes back rashly, the Weng family will definitely become suspicious. Why not let the fifth sister pretend to send the housekeeper back, so that we sisters can also meet."

Yan Junchu nodded, "That's okay, you can ask the messenger to explain clearly."

"I'll let Delphinium go." Su Xinyi said.

The two of them agreed, and Yan Junchu went out to see Mr. Su, while Su Xinyi also let Delphinium go out.

Soon, Su Xixian came with the housekeeper, her menacing look was quite intimidating.

Seeing Su Xinyi, Su Xixian put away the look on her face, sat down with her hands on her waist, and said, "I'm afraid you're going to tire me out with all your thoughts and actions."

Su Xinyi said happily: "Then you are still coming?"

"I still have to settle accounts with the Weng family, and I'll be exhausted." Su Xixian said with a smile.

Su Xinyi nodded seriously, "That's true."

Su Xixian:......

"Why do I see that your temper has changed a bit since you got married than when you were at home?" Su Xixian stared at Su Xinyi.

"Really?" Su Xinyi was in a good mood today, "You can just say so."

Su Xixian clicked her tongue twice, looked at Su Xinyi and said, "I think His Royal Highness is back in Beijing, so you are in a good mood now."

Su Xinyi lowered her eyebrows and smiled, then looked at the fifth sister, "Yes, the fifth sister is right. His Highness' return to Beijing is a surprise. If it were the fifth brother-in-law, the fifth sister would also be very happy."

Su Xixian thought it made some sense, looked at Su Xinyi, smiled, and said softly: "Seeing that you and His Highness the Crown Prince have a harmonious relationship, I feel relieved. When you were so fearless that day, I was really afraid that you would marry I can’t survive this life.”

Su Xinyi couldn't help but laugh, "It's my fault for making Fifth Sister worried."

Su Xixian also laughed, "When you first got married, the fourth sister was so worried that she couldn't sleep, so she went to my place to talk to me. We sat face to face, thinking that you must suppress your temper. In this palace, But it’s different from the outside world. If you’re wronged, our family really can’t stand up for you.”

Su Xinyi didn't know that this matter existed. Su Jingmo and Su Xixian had never mentioned it. She didn't know that they would be so worried about her when they were carrying her.

Su Xixian didn't notice the flash of emotion in Su Xinyi's eyes, and said to herself: "We are worried about you every day, but we didn't expect you to have a good life in the East Palace, so we are all at ease."

Su Xinyi looked at Su Xixian and said slowly with a smile: "Your Highness is very good to me. I am lucky to be able to marry His Highness. Regarding this matter, His Highness also asked me to invite the fifth sister to come over. His Highness will meet with the third sister from the Weng family. Let’s discuss how to deal with it.”

Su Xixian was quite happy when she heard what Su Xinyi said. His Highness valued the affairs of the Duke's Mansion, that is, he valued Xinyi's wife. It was because of their fault that they caused trouble for Xiaoliu.

"Speaking of this matter, Delphinium is not clear about what is going on." Su Xixian listened to Xin Yi talk about the Weng family's affairs, and her expression immediately became serious and asked.

Su Xinyi said: "Before, we didn't discuss that the Weng family would not be able to see you, so that you would not be able to use your status to do anything for them."

Su Xixian nodded, "Actually, you don't have to worry too much. Even if they come to visit me, I won't agree. At first, they forced my aunt to let me marry her, and I really hated them in my heart. This time they come to the capital, they must be No good ideas."

"After Xu Yurong was taken down by me, King Yi must have been anxious, so he brought the Weng family here. The purpose may be to find out the whereabouts of Xu Yurong. If Xu Yurong falls into our hands, we will definitely not give it to him again. He must have other purposes, but we can't predict King Yi's other purposes, but since you are pregnant, we can't let you take risks, so I let the stewardess go. "

Su Xinyi said this with a hint of displeasure in her eyebrows, "King Yi is an extremely thoughtful, gloomy and ruthless person. We have to guard against it and we must not let you take risks. Fifth sister, don't blame me for being nosy. Just fine.”

"That's definitely not the case. My mother-in-law knows that you sent people to guard me and protect me. She thinks of you at home every day. If I hadn't stopped you, maybe the longevity tablets would have been given to you."

Su Xinyi: That’s not necessary.

A little scary.

Looking at Su Xinyi's expression, Su Xixian was so happy that she whispered to her: "I don't know much about things outside, but Xiaoliu, I will listen to what you say, and I will do whatever you tell me to do."

"Fifth sister..."

"Xiao Liu, listen to me." Su Xixian interrupted Su Xinyi, "After this matter is settled, you don't know how happy I am that my aunt can return to the Duke's palace with dignity. It doesn't matter if I get married myself. , but the fifth brother still has to marry a wife, and the fifth sister-in-law will still have to live in the Duke's mansion. If my aunt continues to be so troublesome, how will the fifth brother and the fifth sister-in-law live? "Xiao Liu, fifth brother and I both want to thank you."

After hearing this, Su Xinyi looked at the current Su Xixian, and couldn't help but think of how she looked in her previous life when she was taken back from the Weng family by her third aunt.

Naturally, she had never seen her in the Pingjing County Prince's Mansion in her previous life, but her mother had told her that she was too thin to look good and her whole body was dull.

Su Xinyi pursed her lips and smiled, "It's great. Once again, everyone's life has become better. The Duke's Mansion is not like the people in the previous life who were targeted and the family fell apart."

"Fifth sister, if you say that, you are really separated from me." Su Xinyi deliberately looked unhappy, "After I come back, you and the sisters treat me well, so I will naturally keep it in my heart. of."

When Su Xixian heard this, he nodded and said, "If you have some conscience, I have to admit it."

The two laughed again. After laughing for a while, Su Xixian continued what he said before and asked, "What else do you need me to do?"

"All you need is that the fifth sisters look angry when they are talking. If any Weng family members come to see you, you only need to express your dissatisfaction with me to them and listen to what the Weng family members want to do." Su Xinyi said.

"That's no problem." Su Xixian agreed immediately, it was a piece of cake. "I'm now afraid that something will happen to my aunt. If the Weng family sees her, and she wavers again, I'm really... I wrote a letter to my father specifically, asking him to take good care of my aunt."

Su Xinyi thought to herself, this is really a kiss for her daughter.

"I see that Aunt Weng will not look back this time." Su Xinyi knows a bit about Aunt Weng's temperament. She is a person who has set her sights on the Weng family and never looks back. In her previous life, she had set her sights on the Weng family, no matter how hard Su Xixian's life was. , and I don’t want to take my daughter back.

She has changed her position in this life. She is on the side of her children. The Weng family has hurt her so deeply that she will never look back.

"I hope so." Su Xixian hoped that this would be the case, "Sixth sister, when Your Highness returns to Beijing this time, will the granary case be solved? So what exactly will King Yi..."

Su Xinyi shook his head.

Su Xixian didn't say the rest of the words, and sighed slightly, "This man has such a vicious mind, we must not let him get away with it, otherwise we won't be able to live in peace in the future."

"No." Su Xinyi said firmly. King Yi wanted to kill the Duke of Qi. The uncle is good at being patient and will never retreat this time.

It is related to the foundation of the Duke of Qi's government, and the uncle will definitely stand up for the sake of the next generation.

"When will eldest brother come back?" Su Xixian asked.

"It will be after the new year. He will return to Beijing with Mr. Shang."

Su Xixian nodded when he heard this, looked at Xin Yi and said, "Can the Zhao family's matter be resolved?"

"Fifth sister is well-informed. Do you know all this?" Su Xinyi said with a smile.

Su Xixian rolled her eyes at her, "You are still pretending to me. You clearly know that your brother-in-law is following my father. How could he not know? If he knew, he would naturally tell me."

"I have already filed a complaint regarding the Zhao family, and I am just waiting for His Majesty."

"Complain?" Su Xixian almost couldn't hold back her voice. She hurriedly caught her breath and stared at Su Xinyi, "You are getting more and more courageous. You still dare to file a complaint without real evidence?"

"Why is there no real evidence?" Su Xinyi asked back, "Ji Gang dared to go to the Zhao family and threaten him. If His Majesty asked, could Mr. Zhao give a truthful reply? This is evidence, a witness."

"Empty words..."

"That's okay." Su Xinyi smiled, "Uncle Zhao is ready to fight Ji Gang to death. He even gave his second sister-in-law a dowry of ancient books passed down from his family, which shows his firm confidence. Such a person is also one of the most upright in the Hanlin Academy. Senior, what you say will be convincing even if there is no evidence.”

Besides, His Majesty has long been suspicious of King Yi, otherwise she would not dare to take risks easily.

But Su Xinyi couldn't say these words easily, not even her sister could.

If suspicion of the emperor's heart spread accidentally, it would be a serious crime.

Su Xixian was still a little worried, but she really couldn't help with this matter. She could only look at Su Xinyi and said, "If there is anything I can do to help, you must tell me."

"That's natural. I'm never polite to my sisters." Su Xinyi said with a smile.

The two chatted some more about their daily routine, and Su Xixian stood up to leave, looked at Xin Yi and said, "When I go back and the Weng family really comes to visit, I'll have someone deliver the news to you later."

Su Xinyi nodded in agreement and sent Su Xixian out, "Fifth sister, please go slower on the road."

Su Xixian left with a smile.

Things went smoother than Su Xinyi expected. When Yan Jun first returned to the East Palace, he brought back the news.

Su Xinyi had just had afternoon tea with the two little guys. The accompanying maid took them to play in the garden, and the people here came back.

Su Xinyi came up to meet him, and Yan Junchu took his hand into the hall. After they sat down, Su Xinyi asked, "How is my third uncle doing?"

"Things went quite smoothly." Yan Junchu said.

Su Xinyi asked someone to bring tea, put it in front of His Highness, and then looked up at him and said, "Is everything okay over there, Aunt Weng?"

"Third uncle said that the Weng family went to see Aunt Weng several times, but Aunt Weng did not see them." Yan Junchu took a sip of tea to warm himself up, and then said, "But they will see them next time."

After that, he looked at Xinyi again, "I got the news before I came here, and the Weng family went to see the fifth sister."

"So soon?" Su Xinyi raised her eyebrows slightly, "I thought we would have to wait until tomorrow, it seems that they really can't wait."

Yan Junchu nodded, "There will be news soon, wait."

Su Xinyi knew that the prince was waiting for news from the third uncle.

Seeing Xinyi's thoughtful look, Yan Junchu said to her again: "Zhang Jian received a lot of visiting cards today, you can't think of who is among them."

"Who?" Su Xinyi asked curiously.

The one who can let the prince say it and let her guess must have something to do with her, but she really couldn't think of who it would be for a while.

"Ji Gang."

"Ji Gang?" Su Xinyi was so surprised that she couldn't suppress it. "He dared to come to see you?"

Yan Junchu was amused and said with a smile: "I guess he didn't expect you to complain to my father. He came to see me because of the Zhao family's affairs."

Su Xinyi understood that Ji Gang was trying to sow discord.

She was so angry that her face turned black. "Such a person is still an official in the Ministry of Personnel. I don't know how many officials have an uncertain future under his evil heart."

The Ministry of Personnel is in charge of the promotion of officials from all over the country. The position of assistant minister is second only to the minister, and has real power.

"The Minister of Personnel is fair. Even if Ji Gang wants to do something, he dare not do it too much." Yan Junchu said slowly, "However, since he is connected with Prince Yi, I have asked people to check the people recommended in previous years."

"Your Highness is really amazing. Do you want to screen them all? This is not something that can be done overnight."

"The Ministry of Personnel's affairs are naturally handled by the Ministry of Personnel. Geng Yuan will check."

Geng Yuan is the Minister of Personnel.

Su Xinyi laughed, "Your Highness is really good at finding people, that's good. But, if Lord Geng goes to investigate this matter, I'm afraid he will ask Your Highness for the reason. What will you tell him?"

Yan Junchu said, "There is such a worm in the Ministry of Personnel. Geng was originally guilty of negligence. Now it's just a chance for him to make up for his mistakes. He is a smart man and naturally knows what to do."

Su Xinyi lit a candle for Geng Yuan. Ji Gang had been hiding in the Ministry of Personnel for many years. Before this, he had never heard of anything controversial. Suddenly, such a thing happened. Geng Yuan couldn't sleep well these days.

Su Xinyi thought of this and suddenly had an idea. Looking at His Highness, he said, "Your Highness asked Lord Geng to investigate, wouldn't the emperor know it too?"

Geng Yuan is an important official in the court. If Ji Gang is already investigating, then Geng Yuan's action will definitely alert His Majesty's people.

Wouldn't His Majesty know that His Highness is also investigating this matter?

What would His Majesty think?
