Chapter 285: Limelight 6

Su Muyu naturally knew that it was impossible, although his martial arts were ordinary, he was a disciple with empty hands! If you are watched and you don't notice it, then you will be empty-handed, and you will be arrested and put on death row in the Criminal Department.

But if this person is the second killer in the world, Su Muyu thinks it is not impossible.

However, there is no need for Lin Ruo to lie on this point.

What's more, he followed the carriage of the Marquis of Jingping Mansion and came to the Zhennan Marquis Mansion with Mrs. Su, and arrived much earlier than Lin Ruo, and before Lin Ruo came, he had already slipped into a corner where no one was disturbing and wandered leisurely, and Lin Ruo was indeed not bored enough to send Leng Shu, who was secretly protecting her, out to find his whereabouts.

Su Muyu was very discouraged, he thought that his plan to kill many birds with one stone was very clever, not only repairing the Shen family that he had been unable to see, but also quietly messing up the Spring Festival banquet in Qu Mansion, so that the prince and the Marquis of Jingping Mansion felt that they had lost face, and they would not force him to marry Qu Xiaoxiang, and they also left a bad impression in front of the Qu family, and they also acted chivalrous and righteous by the way, which was very good. But who would have expected that Lin Ruo would see through it at a glance!

However, what if Lin Ruo sees through it? Anyway, the Hubu Shangshu family has already torn his face, and the Spring Festival Banquet has also been disturbed by him, the goal has been achieved, and if you see through it, you can see through it, who called the person who saw through his trick was Lin Ruo!

Thinking of this, Su Muyu became proud again, shaking his head and drinking tea and eating snacks.

But Lin Ruo's words made his complexion collapse again.

"You're out of the limelight today." Lin Ruo smiled slyly, "However, I'm afraid it's self-defeating." ā€

Outsmart oneself?

What do you mean?!

Could it be that if he makes such a fuss, he is one step closer to the position of this county colt?

Su Muyu looked at Lin Ruo in a daze, expecting her explanation.

However, there were many people in the garden, and Lin Ruo did not answer Su Muyu's questions on the spot, but did not give his own answer until he returned to the palace.

"You, Jiang Ming, the son of Qing'an, Shen Rang, the youngest son of Hubu Shangshu, Luo Zhe, the son of Zuo Xiang, and Wei Qian, the grandson of Xing Guogong. The five of you are all the best candidates for the county colt. Its ......"

"Wait, which onion is Jiang Ming? Can it be counted as one of them? ā€

Lin Ruo glanced at him lightly and explained: "Qing'an Hou's family background, Princess Ye's own brother, isn't such an identity worthy of the Fengyang County Lord?" ā€

"But that kid is more mixed than me, he's just a demon king of the world! In this Bian'an City, how many people have never fought with him? You can count them on your fingers! ā€

"What about the nearly one million people in Bian'an City, how many fingers do you have?"

ā€œā€¦ā€¦ā€

Su Muyu choked, the people he said naturally did not include these ordinary people, Lin Ruo must have understood, but he just picked a thorn and came out to fight with him, obviously dissatisfied with his practice of asking for answers, but always interrupting, so he patiently listened to Lin Ruo's explanation.

Lin Ruo took a sip of tea leisurely, and said slowly: "With the identity and family background of the county lord of Fengyang, choosing a son-in-law must first look at the other party's family background, then the political position, and finally the character. Although Jiang Ming is mixed, but with his skills, I don't think he is the opponent of the Fengyang County Lord, and if he makes a mistake after becoming a pro, the Fengyang County Lord can directly teach him a lesson. ā€

Su Muyu nodded in agreement, Jiang Ming was not Qu Xiaoxiang's opponent of the dominatrix, there was no doubt about it.

Lin Ruo continued: "Besides, if the Qing'an Houjia can really marry the county lord of Fengyang home, how dare he provoke her with this bastard son? The maiden family of the county lord of Fengyang, but Zhennanhou with 400,000 southern border troops in his hands! Qing'an is willing to give up, but Prince Ye will not be willing! ā€

Su Muyu pounded his head like garlic.

That's true. pushed others and himself, he just felt that he was not Qu Xiaoxiang's opponent, and he was afraid of the threat of the 400,000 southern border army, so he refused to marry Qu Xiaoxiang.

already has an annoying mother-in-law, an annoying eldest sister, and a daughter-in-law who overwhelms him, don't you have to live this dark day!

However, Jiang Ming's nose bone is not yet complete, and he has never had a banquet today, he is just a number, and it is not in the consideration of Mrs. Xuanlu. As for Shen Rang, if you make such a fuss, even if there was a play, there will definitely be no play now. ā€

"Yes, yes, yes!"

Thinking of letting Shen Rang lose face today, Su Muyu was very proud, but when he thought that he was self-defeating, this pride was not so strong.

Lin Ruo glanced at him and said lightly: "However, even if you don't do it today, Zhennanhou may not be willing to marry the lord of Fengyang County." ā€

"Why?"

Su Muyu's eyes widened, and his face was full of surprise.

Feelings, in addition to being self-defeating, is he nosy today?

Lin Ruo did not hide it, and told him the reason frankly: "It's very simple, although Shen Rang's father is a household secretary, Shen Rang is just a cavalry captain. Zhennanhou is such a daughter, how can he be willing to let her marry? What's more, for the sake of checks and balances, it is impossible for the Shen and Qu families to form a family. ā€

Su Muyu suddenly lowered his voice and said, "You mean, the emperor doesn't want the crown prince to dominate?" ā€

"It's not just to balance the crown prince and King Ye, but also to balance Shen Shangshu and the Jingping Marquis Mansion."

"Huh? What's going on in Guanhou Mansion? ā€

Lin Ruo patiently explained: "The crown princess was born in the Jingping Marquis Mansion, and the crown princess was born in the Shangshu Mansion. If the Shen family and the Qu family get married, then in the future, once the crown prince ascends the throne, don't you think that this relative is too powerful? ā€

Su Muyu was stunned, he never considered this!

But I have to say that this point is the most important thing to check and balance!

"If the king is strong, the minister is weak, and if the king is weak, the minister is strong. What's more, the crown princess has no concubines, and Concubine Shen is pregnant, if she gives birth to a baby boy, what do you think will happen in the future? Even though Concubine Shen gave birth to a daughter, she was ...... The body of the crown princess is no longer possible to conceive, but Concubine Shen is not. In this comparison, do you think the emperor will really agree to the marriage of the Shen family and the Qu family? ā€

These words are a big crime to talk about the crown prince, not to mention that Lin Ruo is a woman!

However, the person opposite her was Su Muyu, both of whom were free and easy people, chatting with each other, and they wouldn't have taken care of these, so it didn't matter.

However, it is too early to talk about these words, which does not mean that Emperor Zong is still in power, and the crown prince's ascension to the throne is still a shadow, let alone the prince's son. But then again, the dominance of relatives can be a fatal concern at any time. No matter how much the crown prince attaches importance to the ministers who support him, he must also weigh whether he can properly suppress them. There is no other reason, the art of checks and balances is a necessary skill for a prince, especially the crown prince.

"Therefore, the prince is also hesitant about whether Shen Rang can marry the lord of Fengyang, he wants to win the support of the Qu family, but he doesn't want the Shen family and the Qu family to be screwed together and become a burden in the future."

"That's—I'm not ......"

Su Muyu opened his mouth eating, and looked at Lin Ruo's meaningful gaze, his heart was like ashes.
