Chapter 172

Pei Xuan saw that Yan Zhaohua was deep in thought, and waved his hand in front of Yan Zhaohua with his hand that did not hold a comb, and Yan Zhaohua looked up at him, Pei Xuan saw her come back to his senses, and then said:

"Don't think about it so much. I will take care of these things for you, but I really didn't expect that Dingguo Gong would really be able to do it, with him loving Aunt Gong so much, I thought that this matter might drag on for a while. ”

Hearing Pei Xuan mention the dead Aunt Gong, Yan Zhaohua shook her head helplessly and smiled, remembered some details that she didn't quite understand, and asked Pei Xuan:

"By the way, did you have any private contact with my grandmother? Otherwise, how could it be coincidental or uncoincidental, Gong Ruquan got drunk at Xie's house, collided with someone, and made trouble in front of his grandmother, I think this qiē is unusual, not like a coincidence, but as if it was carefully designed. ”

Pei Xuan looked at Yan Zhaohua's puzzled expression from the mirror, unconsciously hooked his lips and smiled, bent his body down, gently pressed his arm on Yan Zhaohua's shoulder, touched her cheek, and said, "I really can't hide anything from you, I can see it?" ”

Yan Zhaohua moved his shoulders and asked him not to sell Guanzi, and hurriedly said, Pei Xuan was also interested, and directly told the inside story:

"If you want to do things in the Dingguo Mansion, you can't do it without your grandmother, I asked people to buy a few people who have been in contact with Gong Ruquan every day, and let them arrange a few words about your sister saying bad things about Gong Ruquan at the banquet, so that Gong Ruquan is annoyed and angry, and then I want to go to your sister to reason, I want to do things under your grandmother's nose, of course, I have to inform her in advance, but I didn't expect your grandmother not only agreed, but also provided a plan, I also talked to your grandmother once, I know who your intelligence came from, and your grandmother proposed to teach Gong Ruquan a lesson by doing this, but I didn't expect your grandmother to make such a big deal all of a sudden. actually really separated from Dingguo Gonghe. ”

When Yan Zhaohua heard this, he asked Pei Xuan in surprise: "Do you know why my grandmother did this?" ”

Pei Xuan straightened up and continued to comb Yan Zhaohua's hair, and said while combing her hair: "Although she didn't tell me a clear reason, I should be able to guess that your grandmother should be completely desperate for Dingguo Gong, so she did this." ”

Yan Zhaohua saw that Pei Xuan knew the inside story, so he couldn't wait to turn around and ask: "Oh, what's going on, tell me quickly." ”

Pei Xuan put down the comb, sat down in front of Yan Zhaohua, and told Yan Zhaohua a news he had heard recently: "Recently, your grandfather and the mighty Hou Mansion have been quite close, I also heard that he and the mighty Hou Tan Cheng have arranged no less than a dozen positions for people in recent times, such frequent actions have made the officials notice, you know, their behavior is tantamount to selling officials and cheating, as long as the officials verify the evidence and report it to the top, the crime of raiding the house and being exiled is estimated to be indispensable." Your grandmother is quite prestigious in the noble circle in Beijing, and has a close relationship with Mrs. Shangshu of the Ministry of Officials, so she must have heard about it from that channel. ”

Yan Zhaohua was frightened by Pei Xuan's words, she never thought that Xie Guozhang's courage would be so big, he could do the things of selling officials and cheating, this is bold, arrogant to a certain extent, he really thinks that he is super capable and can pass through the sky?

Seeing that Yan Zhaohua was surprised, Pei Xuan reached out and touched her forehead, and said, "Don't leak this matter, since your grandmother has already made a decision, and ...... In my opinion, your grandfather did something bad, he thought that he secretly collected money, secretly found someone to arrange, and once he traded privately, others would not know, but he also didn't take the criminal department and the official department too seriously. Now that the officials have begun to investigate, it will not be the consequence of chasing after the wind, your grandmother is so resolute this time, and she has not revealed the wind at all, which shows that her mind has been decided. ”

Yan Zhaohua knew how disappointed Liu was in Xie Guozhang, and nodded in agreement with Pei Xuan's statement: "Yes, my grandfather is indeed not worthy of sympathy, he is arrogant and ruthless, I used to think that he just didn't like his grandmother, the two were married, and they had no feelings, but I didn't expect that Aunt Gong, who had been pampered by him for many years, could also do this, and such a person doesn't blame my grandmother for not saving her when she sees death." ”

"Even if your grandmother wants to save it, she can't save it, don't say that your grandmother can't save it, even if I go out in person, I may not be able to solve this matter, staying is just a few more people being implicated, your grandmother is an extremely smart woman, she knows what to do to protect the people she wants to protect as much as possible." Pei Xuan sincerely admires the Liu family, it is already quite remarkable for a woman to live to this age, still be able to maintain her sanity, know what to do the safest, and minimize the damage.

After listening to Pei Xuan's explanation, Yan Zhaohua finally figured out the reason why the Liu family did this, Xie Guozhang was hopeless, so arrogant that he forgot his identity, since the officials had begun to investigate, then the conviction was only a matter of time, and it was naturally a wise move for the Liu family to choose to get out at this time, if Xie Guozhang was smart enough, he would definitely be able to judge some clues from Liu's behavior, but Xie Guozhang was blinded by arrogance, maybe it was because of this time that he received a lot of worship and gold and silver, made him feel that he was not useless, in the past, he didn't dare to go against the Liu family too much, it was entirely because he felt that he didn't have that ability, but recently he found great confidence in the matter of selling officials and cheating, which made him feel that he was superfluous to be cautious about the Liu family in the past few decades, he has the ability to do it himself, as long as he says a few words casually, there will be a lot of good words and silver sent to the door, he is inflated, and he feels that he can do anything, so this time, he agreed without hesitation to Liu's proposal to divorce his wife, Because he doesn't feel that he will lose his interests if he loses the Liu clan now.

This kind of man is really chilling. Yan Zhaohua didn't sympathize with Xie Guozhang at all, when he had no ability, he relied on his wife everywhere, gritted his teeth and endured his strong wife, but once he made a fortune, he did not hesitate to abandon his wife who had been with him for many years and had been handling housework for him for decades, this attitude was destined to end him badly.

Yan Zhaohua naturally won't take this extra step to remind Xie Guozhang, because, even if Yan Zhaohua reminds him now, Xie Guozhang will not listen to her words, but will suspect that she is deliberately provoking, Yan Zhaohua will not do this kind of vain effort, not to mention, Xie Guozhang has a negative Liu family, since the Liu family has made up his mind, then Yan Zhaohua has no such obligation.
