Chapter 237: Full Discretion
Shen Baiqing and Su Bowen have been living in the eastern suburbs for half a month, and Tong Qiurong is in charge of the affairs of the three shops in the capital alone, and when he is too busy, he also wants to come to Shen Baiqing to learn from him.
On weekdays, she found Shen Baiqing with things she couldn't decide, and Shen Baiqing could always think of a good way.
There was news from the front yard that the eldest lady of the Su Mansion was here, and Shen Baiqing personally went to welcome Tong Qiurong.
Su Bowen went to the study in order to avoid suspicion, and Shen Baiqing took Tong Qiurong to the pavilion by the pond.
Tong Qiurong looked Shen Baiqing up and down and sighed.
"These days when you are not in the house, my mother always remembers you and your second brother, for fear that something will happen to you in the eastern suburbs.
Even when I came to the eastern suburbs to look for you, my husband also arranged a lot of people to accompany me to protect me.
I thought that this eastern suburbs should be in such a chaotic situation, but I didn't expect that you and your second brother were really powerful and could bring the eastern suburbs back to life. ”
Faced with Tong Qiurong's praise, Shen Baiqing was a little embarrassed.
"Actually, it's nothing, I just did my duty, and now the eastern suburbs can do this, and that's because the people in the eastern suburbs want to live a good life in their hearts."
"Also, what people don't want to live a good life these days.
By the way, have you heard? The maiden home of the third princess was raided a few days ago, and the prince personally led someone to raid the house. ”
Hearing this, Shen Baiqing looked shocked and said.
"What's going on?"
"I heard that it seems that their family secretly hid black holmium, and it was discovered by the prince's subordinates, and the prince began to investigate the matter, and it is said that everyone has stolen money.
At that time, the husband also went to deal with the matter, and when he came back, he said that there was a lot of black holmium stored in the house, and if there was anything else to think about, the consequences would be unimaginable. ”
Tong Qiurong was still very worried when she said this, but Shen Baiqing was deep in thought.
It is foreseeable that the maiden family of the third princess will not do this for no reason, I am afraid that this matter is not so simple.
"Qing'er, what's wrong with you?"
"It's okay, it's just a little emotional, in the past, when the three princes were still beautiful, the mother family of the three princesses was also a big family, but I didn't expect it to be like this now."
Seeing that Shen Baiqing was very emotional, Tong Qiurong was also very emotional.
"Yes, as the saying goes, a companion is like a tiger, and no one knows what a good family will become.
However, as long as you are a big family, you will not make mistakes, but if you have any thoughts that you shouldn't have, you can only bear the consequences. ”
Tong Qiurong's words made Shen Baiqing deeply understand, after all, there are really not many people like the Su family who keep to themselves.
The most taboo in the court is to choose a camp, once you choose the wrong one, the consequences are unimaginable, so from a certain point of view, it is the most important thing to be a loyal minister.
Tong Qiurong chatted with Shen Baiqing for a long time, and left considering that it was not good to stay too long in the eastern suburbs.
When Shen Baiqing returned to the courtyard, he saw Su Bowen practicing walking, and when he saw Shen Baiqing coming back, Su Bowen asked.
"It seems that I had a good chat with my sister-in-law."
"Husband, have you heard the news that the third princess's mother's family was raided and exiled?"
Hearing this, Su Bowen frowned slightly, and then smiled.
"It's reasonable to have such a thing, it should be the prince who investigated it thoroughly."
"Exactly, even if that family is a big family, it can't have such a big courage to store black holmium in the back."
"You suspect there's something else going on here."
"It's not a doubt, this matter is definitely not ordinary, the third prince is not in Kyoto now, and if he goes to the bitter cold land, he will not have a chance to return to the capital in the future, so he will definitely leave something before leaving."
"Do you think that the sale of black holmium was originally owned by the Three Princes?"
Shen Baiqing didn't say anything, but her eyes at this time had betrayed everything, and that's what she thought.
Su Bowen fell into deep thought, he hadn't thought about this matter seriously, but now that he heard Shen Baiqing say this, Su Bowen felt that Shen Baiqing's words were still very reasonable.
In this way, Su Bowen's expression was solemn.
"This matter is very serious, I will personally go to the East Palace and tell His Highness about this matter."
"Okay."
Shen Baiqing also knew that Su Bowen was definitely going to talk about this matter to the prince, and he thought that the prince would investigate this matter in depth.
Shen Baiqing ordered someone to arrange the carriage, Su Bowen left, and He Lian said.
"Madam, since the second master has returned to the capital, why don't you go back to the capital?"
Hearing this, Shen Baiqing just smiled and didn't remember to answer He Lian's words.
She naturally wants to return to the capital, but now everything is in a hurry.
Seeing that Shen Baiqing had no words, He Lian said again.
"The subordinates feel that the eldest young master's attitude towards you and the second master is a little more alienated this time, and the subordinates are worried that if the lady and the second master are not often in the mansion, I am afraid that the eldest young master will not be close to you."
He Lian has always been very curious about this matter, but she has never had the opportunity to ask Shen Baiqing, and when she had the opportunity today, He Lian asked.
Shen Baiqing's expression changed slightly and sighed.
"He Lian, some things are not as simple as you think, now Rui'er is studying in the country, and she will definitely assist the king in the future.
If Rui'er has a very good relationship with us, I'm afraid that the royal family will not be of good use to Rui'er.
Rui'er now has a very good relationship with the prince of the East Palace, and my husband and I can't cut off Rui'er's future. ”
As early as after Su Bowen decided to send Rui'er to Guozijian, he had already analyzed the pros and cons of this matter to Shen Baiqing.
In the end, the two thought twice and decided to have less contact with Ruier in the future, so as not to affect Ruier in the future.
He Lian had many ideas about this matter before, but what she didn't think of was such a reason, He Lian didn't know what to say for a while, it seemed that everything was weird, and it was wrong to say anything.
When Su Bowen returned to the courtyard, it was already night, Shen Baiqing was asleep, Su Bowen was worried that Shen Baiqing would not be able to sleep well, so he went to the study alone.
Early the next morning, Shen Baiqing found that Su Bowen had not returned overnight, so he asked He Lian, and learned that Su Bowen slept in the study last night, Shen Baiqing knew that Su Bowen didn't want to disturb him, but for some reason, Shen Baiqing only felt very sweet in his heart.
At breakfast, Su Bowen spoke.
"Yesterday, I analyzed that matter to His Highness, obviously His Highness took this matter as a thing, and His Highness ordered someone to send a message, saying that he had already told His Highness about this matter, and His Majesty meant to have full authority to deal with it."
Hearing this, Shen Baiqing was surprised.
Although His Majesty is now more and more of the crown prince, it is just that His Majesty has to hand over such a matter to the prince to deal with, which will inevitably give people the illusion that His Majesty may really have more than enough heart and not enough power.
Noticing the change in Shen Baiqing's expression, Su Bowen lowered his voice and said.
"Your Highness said that His Majesty's body and bones are getting worse day by day."
Su Bowen's words didn't go straight to the end, but Shen Baiqing already knew about it and was silent.
