Chapter 665: Calculation

Shermulin looked funny.

Xiao Rui was obviously angry in his heart that the third prince wanted to throw the Lan family's pot to him. Now that he has officially made the will to marry, the third prince has no way to get rid of the Lan family's fiancée, Xie Mulin doesn't know what his reaction is in front of outsiders, but his gloating mood has been revealed between the lines of the reply.

After Xiao Ruile was happy, he was actually a little vigilant. He thought that the emperor was a little too obsessed with the matter of the third prince marrying the Lan family as a concubine. Even if Shou Changbo, the father of the Lan family, is now quite able to please the emperor, there is no reason for the emperor to be so determined to let his once beloved son marry a girl with a bad reputation, especially since this girl is almost married to the crown prince. Xiao Rui also sensed that the emperor might have a desire to suppress the three princes, and Xie Mulin's guess was very reasonable. However, the third prince himself seems to be still annoyed by the existence of the Lan family, and annoyed by the Empress Dowager, Empress Cao, Lin Zhaoyi, the crown prince, the second prince, and the Cao and Lin families for promoting this marriage.

The three princes still seem to have no idea about the emperor's true intentions.

Not only did Xiao Guifei and the third prince not expect this, at most they were only worried that their family wanted to marry the General Mansion of the Pillar Kingdom, which would make the emperor jealous, and they were desperately trying to cover it up with reasons such as "kissing and kissing" and "childhood sweethearts". It's just that the emperor didn't pay much attention to it, as if he had identified the daughter-in-law of the Lan family.

In the mansion of General Zhuguo, General Xiao Mingde's wife Lu, as well as his eldest son Xiao Cong and eldest daughter Xiao Lin, were also very dissatisfied with this marriage. They all expected Xiao Lin to become the third princess. Regardless of whether the third prince is expected to take the throne in the future, the identity of the princess is also prominent enough. Even though General Xiao repeatedly stated that he would not agree to marry his daughter to his nephew, Lu and Xiao Lin's mother and daughter did not pay much attention to it. They thought that as long as Concubine Xiao could persuade the emperor to give a decree to marry, it would be useless for General Xiao to be unhappy in his heart.

Xiao Cong was a little worried about this, thinking that his mother and sister's ideas might not be able to be realized, and advised them to be careful not to cause their father to be angry, but he didn't think much about dissuading them. Now that the position of the third princess has fallen, he can only persuade his mother and sister to accept the reality calmly.

But neither Lu nor Xiao Lin could calm down. They had all heard about the scandal of the Lan family, and they also heard from Xiao Guifei about the Lan family's entanglements with the crown prince back then, and felt that the emperor would marry such a to his beloved third son, which was simply crazy! This must be a conspiracy by Empress Cao or Lin Zhaoyi! It's also possible that Qiao Mei is doing ghosts! Because the third prince married an unbearable princess, his strength is too weak, and he can no longer compete with his brothers for power and profit!

Because Lu said something disrespectful to the emperor at home, Xiao Mingde, who overheard it, scolded her, and directly ordered her to recuperate and reflect at home, not to go out as a guest, and not to set up any banquets, so as to publicize to others how good her daughter is. He also didn't allow Xiao Lin to enter the palace, if it weren't for Xiao Cong's hard persuasion, he would also want to send his eldest daughter to Zhuangzi outside the city, in the name of recuperation or fasting or blessing, to avoid the social circle in Beijing.

Who told the Lu family to be too sure that their daughter would become the third princess, and once showed her mouth in front of relatives and friends? Now that the marriage of the three princes has been decided, it is impossible to change the emperor's will. Xiao Lin, who can't become the third princess, will definitely become the target of ridicule by others, and if you avoid it, you can still get a quiet ear!

Xiao Lin cried a lot, and then hid in his room and didn't go out, but he was not sick or anything, nor was he too sad or depressed, but he cursed others there all day long, not only cursing the nobles in the palace who contributed to the marriage of the three princes, but also cursing the Lan clan, the daughter of Shouchang Bofu, who won the honor of the concubine of the three princes.

Now she only hopes that the Lan family can have an illness before the wedding, and from then on, she will be ruined, and she will not be blessed to wander in the world in the name of the third princess.

Xiao Rui spat Xiao Lin's thoughts in the letter, as if the third prince lost his fiancée before marriage, as if he had a good reputation. However, the Lan family has always been in good health, and she would become one of the three candidates for the crown prince of the East Palace, one of which has an important advantage, that is, she is very healthy and rarely gets sick, and the queen mother and the queen both think that she should be able to have children, so she endured her down-and-out noble background. It's just that a good body can't compete with a beautiful face after all, and the Lan family finally lost to Miss Xue with Wang Meiru's help.

However, Xiao Lin is only cursing at the moment, as long as she doesn't let outsiders know, it doesn't hurt. Xiao Rui was more worried about her mother-in-law, Lu, and pointed out that soon after the marriage was announced, she took advantage of her husband's return to the camp in western Beijing, and went to the palace to see Xiao Guifei against her husband's wishes. I don't know what the sister-in-law and sister-in-law discussed, Xiao Rui only knows that after the Lu family went home, his face looked a lot better, and he was not as angry as before.

He was worried that the pair of sisters-in-law had some bad tricks in their hearts, most of them were going to the Lan family. Xiao Guifei didn't want the Lan family's daughter-in-law, and the Lu family wanted to send her daughter to the throne of the third princess, of course they would regard the Lan family as a thorn in their side. No one dares to disobey the holy decree, but if something happened to the Lan family before the wedding, then she is not blessed, and she can't complain about others, right?

General Xiao was not at home and was busy with military affairs, so Xiao Rui had to secretly inform his henchmen in the General's Mansion and ask them to keep an eye on the Lu family more. It's just that Xiao Rui is just a concubine after all, but the Lu family is his mother-in-law, and General Xiao's henchmen may not buy his account, and it is still unknown whether it can come in handy. Xiao Rui is not worried about the safety of the Lan family, but he is more worried, if his mother-in-law Lu is careless and is discovered, will it affect his father Xiao Mingde?

Xiao Mingde has been loyal to the emperor all his life, but it is not easy to have an unconscious sister, wife and daughter.

Xie Mulin sighed secretly in his heart, although Xiao Rui always kept saying that he should not rely on his father, he would fight for the first place in the army, and he would take Aunt Li far away after he was awarded the official in the future, and he didn't care about the affairs of the family, but when the Xiao family was really in trouble, he was still very concerned. Lu and Xiao Lin are not very good to him, but he is still worried that they will do stupid things.

Even if Xiao Rui tried to persuade Lu and Xiao Lin, they would not be able to listen. They stood in the position of Concubine Xiao and the Third Prince, maybe they thought he was the white-eyed wolf who was unwilling to serve the Third Prince. According to the current situation, even if the Lu family did bad things and was exposed, and it was even affected by General Xiao, it should not be a big problem. The emperor trusts General Xiao, and he also has the intention to send the third prince to the Yan Wangfu as his heir, so naturally he will not kill General Xiao's family. The Xiao family will not break their muscles and bones, Xiao Rui has nothing to do with this matter, let alone be implicated.

However, her mother-in-law Lu is so bold and reckless, and she is so stupid and impulsive, Xiao Guifei sacrificed a carrot, she is willing to do anything, and maybe she will cause more trouble in the future. General Xiao is machismo and does not take his wife's words and deeds to heart, and he deserves to suffer losses in the future. But Xiao Rui had better stay away as soon as possible, and split up if he can, so as not to be affected by her.

The most important thing is that Xie Mulin himself does not want to be implicated. Who would like to wait for that kind of mother-in-law?!

Xie Mulin gritted his teeth and thought hard.
