Wanqin was stunned, and suddenly reacted, her words were a little misleading, and hurriedly explained: "Second Young Master, don't get me wrong, I mean, Mrs. Jiang has long been optimistic about the youngest daughter of the Wang family and wants to marry Young Master Jiang." It's just that now that the Xie and Wang families are in flames, the Wang family is afraid that they will not be willing to let their daughter and the girl of the Xie family be concubines. Therefore, Mrs. Jiang always had to divorce the second young master Jiang before she could go and propose to the Wang family. ”

I see. Xie Jinzhi's face softened slightly, but he still couldn't understand: "Is my aunt really referring to Wang Angui's daughter?" But Wang Angui is now a guilty person, and the Jiang family still wants to marry his eldest son? Could it be that Mrs. Jiang is confused?! ”

Wen also nodded and said: "Yes, yes, our master has not been convicted, and he is wronged, and the Jiang family wants to withdraw from the marriage." Wang Angui's crime is obvious, how can he escape? How could Mrs. Jiang still have such a ridiculous idea? ”

Wanqin sighed and said, "These things are not something I should know. It's just that my father works as an errand in Pingnanbo's mansion, and he is quite decent, so I heard some rumors, and I don't know if it's true. Reputedly...... Lord Wang was imprisoned this time, and everyone didn't expect it, so they were a little caught off guard, so they made things bigger. It is impossible to erase it like this, but it is even more impossible to let him be sentenced to death for his sins. The scapegoat has been prepared on the side of Dongchang Mansion, and as soon as the people from Dali Temple arrive, there will be evidence to be presented. When the time comes, Lord Wang will think of some ways to reduce his guilt, and if the palace makes any more efforts, it is estimated that the worst will be a result of demotion or dismissal. Lord Wang estimated that it was for this reason that he bit our master to death, thinking that as long as the master was convicted, his crime would be lighter. ”

Everyone was dumbfounded, and Wen's tears were about to come out again: "Why is this? Even if the old man said a few bad things about the king, it was because he did the bad thing first, which made people look at it. Besides, the people who say him are not one or two. The master is also the in-law of the Cao family, why does he have to bite our master?! ”

Wanqin said in a low voice: "Lord Wang's case will be poked out, as if it is inseparable from our master." Mrs. Ping Nanbo also said that the master was going to betray the Cao family, and he was a white-eyed wolf who couldn't be raised, so he ......"

This was said without a beginning or an end, and Wen Shi was sad and indignant when he heard it: "What does this have to do with the master?!" Can't you see a few bad words about his surname Wang, is it betraying the Cao family?! 108,000 taels of silver a year, not as much as a corrupt official's in-laws?! ”

Wanqin shook her head: "It's not as simple as a few words, it seems to be ...... The old man secretly communicated with someone from the Lin family, and wanted to tell the secret or something......"

Wen has lived separately from Xie Pu all the year round and doesn't know anything about his business, but she understands Xie Pu's temperament: "Impossible! The Lin family is also a relative, and they are not as good as the Cao family! Even if the lord sees that the Cao family's in-laws are not pleasing to the eye, it is impossible for him to take refuge in the Lin family! "The Cao family has at least the orthodoxy of the prince, what does the Lin family have?

Wanqin couldn't say more. Although she has been taking care of Xie Pu's daily life in office, and she is also responsible for the eyes and ears of the Cao family, it is impossible for her to know about the really confidential things, whether it is Xie Pu or the Cao family. She's just a person who receives orders and executes them.

Wen couldn't ask for more information, and his heart was even more worried about Xie Pu's situation. The eyebrows, which had been loosened, were furrowed again.

Xie Jinzhi also looked worried and coughed lowly. He began to feel that his father's case might not be as easy to solve as he had suggested. My father's words were probably just comforting his family.

Xie Mulin hurriedly patted him on the back and looked up at Wanqin. Although she also wanted to know more about Xie Pu's case, Wanqin said this in front of the patient, which did not benefit Xie Jinzhi's condition at all. It's time to tilt the stairs.

She asked Wanqin: "The Cao family seems to treat Wang Angui very preferentially, is there any special reason?" He is just the brother of Mrs. Pingnanbo's sister-in-law, he has neither talent nor virtue, and he was sued in Dali Temple, which is completely his own trouble. Why did the Cao family protect him, even the palace was willing to help? ”

Wanqin wanted to speak and stopped, looking embarrassed.

Xie Mulin disagreed: "My aunt has already said this, what's the point of hiding it?" You are in the same boat with us now, and if you know anything, tell us everything. If you can rescue your father, the whole family will remember your credit, and the four brothers and sisters will have a better future in the future. Who are you trying to protect by keeping it hidden? Could it be that you think that you still have the day when you go back to Pingnanbo Mansion to wait for your uncle? ”

This is a bit heart-wrenching. Wanqin's face immediately changed. She couldn't deny that when she continued to pretend to be a loyal maid in front of the Cao family, she did have the intention of leaving a way back for herself.

However, in the face of the suspicious gazes cast by Wen and Xie Jinzhi, Wanqin could no longer hold back. If she wants to win the trust of the Xie family, she must give enough sincerity.

She hesitated and said, "I can't say for sure, this is all gossip circulating between Mrs., Mrs. Bo and Mrs. Cheng's henchmen." It seems to ...... Since almost a year ago, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has known the eldest lady of the Wang family. That young lady is a stunning beauty, and her talent and temperament are all the best choices, and she is deeply favored by His Royal Highness the Prince. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had already made it clear to the queen that he wanted to include her in the East Palace as a concubine. ”

The crown prince Zhu Ying is fifteen years old this year, and it is almost time to choose the crown princess. In fact, he was just over twelve years old, and Empress Cao began to look for candidates for his main concubine and side concubine.

The most ideal is naturally to choose another princess from the Cao family, and in the future, the crown prince will ascend the throne, and the Cao family will have another queen.

However, the daughters of the Cao family's generation are all young, only the second master of the concubine Cao has a fourteen-year-old eldest daughter, and the other girls are only eleven or twelve years old. If they want to decide on the crown princess in the near future, most of them will not be able to catch up. As for the eldest daughter of Second Master Cao, because she is a concubine, she is just a side concubine, and she is a little unqualified to be a princess. But how can the status of the side concubine be compared with that of the main concubine?

Helplessly, the emperor will never let the Cao family occupy the position of the crown prince and concubine at the same time, and the Cao family must have a choice.

Therefore, under the persuasion of Cheng Enhou and his wife, Empress Cao deliberately postponed the prince's selection of concubines, under the pretext that the prince was too young to marry early, and wanted to wait until several young ladies from the Cao family were married.

In the past two years, the emperor's dissatisfaction with the queen and the crown prince has increased day by day, and he favors Lin Zhaoyi and the second prince, which makes Empress Cao have a sense of crisis. In order to stabilize the position of the crown prince, she changed her mind and planned to choose the daughter of an important minister for the prince as the main concubine, and the Cao family had another side concubine. Even if the Cao family loses the title of crown princess, it does not mean that there will not be another queen in the future. Moreover, as long as the Cao family gives birth to a grandson, it is still unknown what the future position will be. The winner is the one who has the last laugh, and the momentary gain or loss is nothing.

Queen Cao's wishful thinking, Cheng Enhou can barely accept it, Mrs. Cheng Enhou is unwilling and can only accept it, and Ping Nanbo's branch has a different idea.

It is impossible for the daughter of Chengenhou to be a side concubine for the prince, and only the eldest daughter of Cao Erye will be chosen, so what should I do with Pingnanbofu? Both generations of queens have old grudges with their house, and they will be able to live a good life in the future?

At this moment, the Wang family took the initiative to come to the door, saying that the eldest lady of their family was favored by the prince, and as long as Ping Nanbo could help her become the prince Liangdi, then she would definitely help Ping Nanbo Mansion speak after she was favored. In the future, when the crown prince ascends the throne, she will also help Ping Nanbo's daughter enter the palace as a concubine...... Even later.

Pingnanbofu was scratched at the itch.
