Chapter 258: The Truth About the Uncle's Family
"If you let him fall before the Marquis of Anqing committed the matter of the Nine Clans, will you be able to pass on the position of the prince and even the Hou Ye to the second young master?"
What Magu said that the Jiang family couldn't understand for a while, but the word "downfall" made the Jiang family look at Magu with a puzzled look.
Magu realized that she had said something that made the Jiang family feel unfamiliar, and hurriedly said it again in detail, "Marquis Anqing is now supporting King Qin, but only one of King Qin and the crown prince must be on the throne. I think the prince has a better chance of winning......"
"Why would you say with such certainty that the prince will win?"
"Because he is the crown prince, it is natural to inherit the throne. And King Qin came to compete for the throne, that is, he was ambitious. Sometimes, there are things that don't belong to you that you can't necessarily grab them. "As for the fight between King Qin and the crown prince, it is not the time for them to discuss it. Magu can only say simply, she can't force the Jiang family to choose the prince with her, but she believes that the Jiang family will definitely choose the prince, because she has no second way to go.
"I understand what you mean, if the crown prince ascends the throne, then King Qin ......" There are some words that the Jiang family still doesn't dare to say, which is disrespectful.
To tell the truth, the Jiang family hopes that the crown prince will ascend the throne in the end, if King Qin finally ascends the throne, then Han Guifei will be the concubine, then her life will be sad.
Therefore, King Qin will become the new emperor in the future, which will not benefit her and the Jiang family at all, and the only ones who can profit from it are Cao Jiayuan, Aunt Xin and Cao Shouyi. In that case, why did she want to help King Qin.
"I understand, don't worry, King Qin and Concubine Han have always disliked me and the Jiang family, and the Jiang family and I will naturally not choose them. In that case, we must be on one side. The Jiang family made a heavy decision - to help the crown prince defeat the power of King Qin.
"Okay, in that case, can Madame sue me, what's going on with that uncle?"
"Uncle?" Jiang lowered his head, picked up the tea in front of him and drank it, and put the teacup on the table.
Magu lifted the kettle. Fill it up for the Jiang family.
"Uncle's matter is actually something I overheard......"
The Jiang family began to talk about the uncle who had made Magu and them curious for a long time.
The situation of this uncle is the same as that of Cao Shouyi and them now, but that uncle does not have such a good life as Cao Shouyi.
The uncle's name is Cao Jiapeng, and he was born to the old marquis and the previous old marquis's wife, Sun. When the uncle was five years old, the old lady passed away. The old marquis continued to marry the current old marquis's wife, Zhou. Soon after Zhou married into the Hou Mansion, he gave birth to Cao Jiayuan, Zhou was filling the house, and he gave birth to the second young master, and the position of the son of this world must be Cao Jiapeng's.
Of course, the old marquis also thinks so. has always taken good care of Cao Jiapeng. After the death of the Sun family and the Zhou family gave birth to Cao Jiayuan, the old marquis ordered Cao Jiapeng to sit on the throne of the son of the world.
Zhou always thinks about the position of the son in her heart, and she hopes that her son can be the son of the world and the prince in the future. So, she has always had a grudge against Cao Jiapeng in her heart, but she treats him like her own son.
Cao Jiapeng is pure-hearted and bent on being Zhou's mother-in-law, he couldn't have imagined that Zhou and Cao Jiayuan have always thought of various ways to kill him.
Because what is to be done leaves no trace. So I never found a good chance to get off the phone.
Until Cao Jiapeng gave birth to a son, Cao Shouzhi. Cao Shouzhi is the eldest grandson of the Marquis of Anqing, which made the Zhou family and Cao Jiayuan even more red-eyed and decided to be ruthless.
When Cao Shouzhi was three years old, Cao Jiapeng's mother-in-law passed away, and Cao Jiapeng took his wife and children to the funeral. And on the way there, the carriage overturned off a cliff and the car was wrecked and killed. In the end, the old marquis sent people to search under the cliff, and finally found the bodies of Cao Jiapeng and his wife, and the three-year-old Cao Shouzhi.
"Then Cao Shouzhi is still alive? Still being raised outside in a Cao Mansion? Magu couldn't wait, looking a little excited. It was as if she was one step closer to the truth.
"How did you find out?" Jiang said in surprise: "No one in the entire Hou Mansion dares to mention this matter. Only some of the older subordinates in the Hou Mansion know about the uncle, and the young master who survived. ”
"This matter is Cao Shouyi, and they themselves said it to the outside world." Ma Gu pondered for a moment and said, "Madame, do you know that the young master is very interested in the trees in the suburbs?" I heard that Cao Shouzhi liked those trees and often sent people to cut them down. ”
"Trees? No way! Jiang really retorted: "When I found Cao Shouzhi back then. He broke both legs, and finally found many famous doctors but could not be cured. In the end, in order to prevent the old marquis from seeing Cao Shouzhi think of his uncle's family and be sad, my mother-in-law ordered someone to buy Cao Shouzhi a comfortable and quiet house outside. I heard that Cao Shouzhi is more elegant and has a more cheerful personality. Although he will be in a wheelchair for the rest of his life, he likes calligraphy and painting. Likes to raise flowers. Staying alone in that house, never leaving the house, living a fairly comfortable life. What is he going to do with the trees? ”
It turned out that Cao Shouzhi's legs were crippled, no wonder few people saw him, "Madam, why didn't Cao Shouzhi come to the Hou Mansion?" ”
"He never goes out. It was only the old Hou Ye who had visited him there before, but he had never stepped into the Hou Mansion again. Anyway, I haven't seen it, mainly because no one in the house has ever mentioned it, and it's inconvenient for me to go there. After the old marquis passed away, he didn't visit him anymore. ”
"Didn't you say that Master Hou loved this nephew very much?"
"Love? Heh, no kidding. Hou Ye, like his mother, never mentioned the uncle's family, and he was not allowed to mention it to people in the house. ”
"How would the lady know that it was Mrs. Hou who did it?" In the end, there must have been nothing found.
"Actually, these are what the old people in the house told me, and everyone is guessing so. Because after the death of the uncle's family, Cao Jiayuan is the rightful son. ”
"I see!" Magu has been thinking about one thing all the time, Cao Shouzhi's legs and feet are inconvenient and he never goes out, how can he like those wooden? It seems that the relationship between him and Hou Ye and their father and son is not very good, how can he help them do this together?
Jiang could see that Magu was very interested in Cao Shouzhi, "I don't know much about Cao Shouzhi, if I go back and find out something, I will send someone to tell you." However, you must remember that I will only send Mama Zhou here, and I will not trust others. ”
"I understand." Magu replied sternly.
"When I go back, I will make that Aunt Xin turn on her back alone, what do you want to do tell me in time, and I will cooperate with you." Jiang said with a sinister smile.
"Trouble? What is Madame going to do? Magu said with a worried face.
"Haha, don't worry, I won't be so stupid anymore, but let them have any handle to catch." Jiang laughed.
After the Jiang family left, Magu went to the prince's palace to report on Cao Shouzhi. (To be continued.) )
