The Duchess said in a calm tone: "Why do you want to dirty your hands for a group of dirty? That Ma Jiayelang is arrogant, but he is killing himself, you wait and see what will happen to them in the end. ”

The Ma family thought they had made the most correct decision - to follow the strongest of the royal family.

But is the throne so simple?

If you want to sit in that chair, you need more than a fist.

There is also scheming, all of which are indispensable.

It's a pity that the Ma family is blind.

Choosing a camp too early, I was afraid that the Ma family would kill itself, so I was the first to sacrifice the dragon chair.

The housekeeper thought for a while: "Madam, do you need to tell Grandpa Guo about this matter?" ”

"I will tell him personally, you send someone to keep an eye on Lu Yue, don't let irrelevant people contact him, the people in the mansion ...... Also pay attention, if there are unclean hands and feet, send them out directly. ”

It was not easy for her son to retract, and if she was hooked out again, she would have been a duchess for more than ten years.

The housekeeper nodded: "Madame, don't worry, slave understands." ”

……

At noon, the Lu family set up dinner.

Lu Yue was at the same table with Guogong and his wife, and the other two elder brothers in the family were still busy in the office.

Mrs. Guo took a pair of chopsticks and fried three threads into Lu Guogong's dishes, and said with a soft smile: "An interesting thing happened today, is Grandpa Guo interested in listening to it?" ”

On the side, Lu Yue ate silently, in his heart, interesting things generally have nothing to do with him.

Hearing this, Lu Guogong smiled heartily: "What's interesting about Madame, just say it bluntly, why don't I listen to it?" ”

His laughter, like his person, is bright.

Moreover, although Lu Guogong is fifty years old, he has been well maintained for many years, and he looks five or six years younger than his actual age.

Sitting with the thirty-three-year-old Duchess of Guo, there is no disobedience.

After hearing this, the Duchess smiled softly, but looked at Lu Yue, who was silent, and gave him a piece of braised pork with chopsticks.

Lu Yue smiled and said, "Thank you, mother." ”

"Today, Ma Zemin, the son of the Ma family, has come."

Hearing this, Lu Yue's hand holding the braised pork stopped in mid-air and froze for a moment, and then it was mechanically sent into his mouth to chew.

Duchess Guo was unaware of his abnormality and continued: "He said that he wanted to invite his son-in-law out. ”

Grandpa Guo frowned: "You agreed?" ”

The Duchess hooked her lips: "I refused, and then he asked to see Yue'er, and I also refused." ”

Suddenly, Lu Yue only felt that the originally delicious braised pork suddenly became difficult to swallow.

What exactly does Ma Zemin want to do?

Something like that happened yesterday, and he still doesn't want to restrain himself?

Grandpa Lu Guo's brows relaxed, and he moved again: "That's good." ”

Duchess Guo glanced at Lu Yue, and said lightly: "I didn't let him in." ”

was glared at by his own mother, and Lu Yue almost choked on the chewed braised pork.

See what he does?

He's innocent too!

If he had known that Ma Zemin was approaching him with some purpose, he would definitely not have even looked at it.

Lu Yue was a little depressed.

Once you don't know people clearly, you will arouse suspicion and become an unreliable object in the eyes of others.

It's a big loss.

"Well done." Lu Guogong nodded in agreement, and his faint gaze turned around Lu Yue: "Those thoughtful people shouldn't enter the door of our government's mansion." ”

Lu Yue: "......"

I always feel that my dad is turning a corner and scolding him for not knowing people clearly, what should I do?

The Duchess of Guo put the vegetables into Lu Yue's bowl again, and continued: "He felt bored, and before leaving, he also bribed the subordinates in the mansion and asked him to bring a word to Yue'er, saying that he must go to the appointment. ”

"......" Lu Yue hurriedly put down the jade chopstick, and said, "My son doesn't know anything." ”

"That's because I've stopped them." Duchess Guo's smile faded: "If I hadn't stopped it, you might be trying to find a way to get out of the house now." ”

"My son won't." Lu Yue hurriedly clarified: "Since I have promised my mother that I will not have any more contact with him, I will definitely do it." ”

Hearing his assurance, the Duchess was a little relieved.

In the end, although the son is stubborn, he is not unreasonable.

Mrs. Guo and Lu Guogong glanced at each other, and the husband and wife raised their eyebrows and smiled with a tacit understanding.

Immediately, Lu Guogong stopped talking, but it was the Duchess of Guo who took the dominant position.

Looking at Lu Yue, he raised his eyebrows and smiled: "You don't want to know what he said?" ”

"I don't want to know." In the smile of the Duchess of Guo, Lu Yue sensed the crisis, and he said without thinking: "No matter what he says, it has nothing to do with me." ”

Since it has nothing to do with him, there is no need to know.

Hearing this, the Duchess nodded and sighed meaningfully: "It's good that you have this realization, otherwise, I really don't know how to teach you." ”

Lu Yue said seriously: "It's my son who was ignorant in the past, so my mother bothered." ”

The maid waiting next to her handed a silk handkerchief, and the Duchess took it and wiped her mouth elegantly: "Children are debts, don't talk about it." ”

After finishing speaking, she took the lead in leaving the table, leaving the elegant and calm backs of the father and son behind her, as if the person who hugged Lu Yue in the courtyard last night and cried heartbreakingly was not her.

At the table, the father and son looked at each other speechlessly.

Lu Yue lowered his head and remained silent.

On the other side, Lu Guogong didn't have the idea of talking to his son, so he didn't speak.

A lunch is eaten up in such a non-yin and non-yang atmosphere.

……

There are many people staring at the Lu Guogong Mansion, and Qi Changrong is one of them.

When she learned that Ma Zemin was rejected by the Guogong Mansion, she curled her lips and smiled meaninglessly: "Some people think they are smart people, but they don't know that there are many people who are smarter than him. ”

Shi Xia was grinding ink at this time, and when he heard this, he raised his eyes and pouted and asked, "Who is Your Highness talking about?" ”

Qi Changrong lazily put down his pen, and the black ink dripped on the bright white paper, leaving the most conspicuous traces: "In Cheng'an, who is the most worthy of my trouble right now?" ”

"I don't know." Shi Xia shook her head, she knew that there were many things that His Highness needed to worry about, but he really couldn't think of who needed to worry about the most.

If it is said to be the third prince of Yan?

That's impossible, Your Highness has already said that although the three princes are smart, they are not very smart.

"The group of people who made trouble yesterday, you forgot so quickly?" Qi Changrong looked at her with a smile, and the brush on his fingertips slowly left heavier marks on the paper.

"It turns out that His Highness is talking about them." Shi Xia reacted immediately.

According to His Highness's instructions yesterday, they checked the old bottom of the group of young people.

Then, thinking back to the ridiculous things those people had done, Shi Xia nodded approvingly: "In this Ma family, there are really not many smart people. ”

"It's because there aren't many smart people that they do stupid things one after another." Qi Changrong said flatly: "Let people stare at it more, don't let them be stupid to the point of being alone." ”

For example, when it came to drinking yesterday, she didn't want to hear any gossip about herself outside.

As for Qi Changrong's meaning, Shi Xia immediately understood, and then patted his chest and promised: "Your Highness, rest assured, there are five princes' affairs ahead, and they don't dare to speak indiscriminately." ”

"If they don't do their own thing, without His Highness's help, the slaves can clean them up!"

This clean-up is just a small lesson.

And what Qi Changrong wants is the downfall of the entire Ma family.

The name of the Ma family who served in the court was Ma Yuanqi, and although his official position was not large, he won the trust of the prince because of his knowledge.

Because of Yan Zheng as a backer, the Ma family is very comfortable in the court, and they have gained a lot of benefits over the years.

Speaking of this, Shi Xia was a little curious, and asked while grinding, "Has Your Highness thought of a way to deal with them?" ”

This is the Yan Kingdom, which is not as convenient as the Jin Kingdom for His Royal Highness.

If you want to uproot the entire family directly, I am afraid that it will take a lot of effort.

Qi Changrong sold a pass, and only said: "Water can carry a boat, or it can capsize a boat." ”

Shi Xia's comprehension is growing day by day, and Qi Changrong did not deliberately hide from him, he reacted almost immediately, and said excitedly: "Your Highness means to let them make trouble in the nest?" ”

Seeing that she was finally smarter, Qi Changrong squinted with a smile, and took advantage of the situation: "Yes, everything in the Ma family benefits from Yan Zheng's trust, as long as Yan Zheng retracts his trust, the Ma family's situation will be precarious." ”

After all, over the years, because they have stood in their position early, the Ma family has offended a lot of people.

Among them, some were offended by Yan Zheng, and some of them offended themselves intentionally or unintentionally.

Once they lose the protection of Yan Zheng, these people who have suffered losses in the Ma family will naturally have grievances and revenge.

At that time, Cheng'an Ma's family will be self-defeating.

And she, as long as she smiles at everything, her sleeves don't stick.

After thinking for a while, Shi Xia was worried: "According to the news of the secret guard, there is at least ten years of love between the Ma family and the eldest prince of Yan, what can be done to make the eldest prince abandon the Ma family?" ”

Ten years of follow-up, the love is unusual.

In the past ten years, let alone a living person, even if you have a dog, you have deep emotions.

Not to mention that the Ma family is very close to the eldest prince, as long as the eldest prince speaks his mouth, they will do everything they can.

How can such an obedient minion with deep friendship give up so easily?

Qi Changrong raised his hand and dipped it in some ink, quite unaccustomed to Shi Xia's preoccupied appearance. However, after such a while, she came up with a brilliant idea, which made the depression in her heart dissipate a little.

Qi Changrong doesn't like to suffer, she still remembers the dirty relationship with Liang Guo.

Looking back to this day, my heart feels as if I have been punched hard by someone, and it hurts sullenly.

Liangguo made her a big heel, and she must find a way to get revenge back.

I couldn't find the right time before.

But at the moment, it is very coincidental that Tuoba Sheng happens to be in Cheng'an, and the opportunity is in front of him.

As the most favored prince of Liangguo, the soft flesh on the tip of Lianghuang's heart, a slight touch and injury, it is enough to make the Liangguo Emperor mess up.

The most important thing is that between Tuoba Sheng and the Ma family, Yan Zheng has no choice.

He is willing to ally with Liangguo, so he can only be the one who holds Tuoba Sheng.
