Chapter 35: Killing Two Birds with One Stone

When Su Zhan returned to the mansion, he heard people whispering, talking about things between Tian Niangzi and the fourth master, Su Zhan couldn't help but be a little strange, he knew what Su Yunlai had done, but he didn't expect that Su Yunlai was doing this!

Isn't it a bit scary to change the child in the belly to a father or something?

Su Zhan hurriedly went to find Su Yunlai.

"Actually, this matter is also thanks to the help of His Royal Highness the Eldest Sun," Su Yunlai said very humbly: "If he hadn't helped get the fourth uncle's jade pendant, things wouldn't have gone so smoothly." ”

Su Zhan still felt incredible: "But the fourth uncle has already returned, won't he be exposed soon?" ”

"So what?" Su Yunlai asked rhetorically: "Tian Niangzi has the fourth uncle's jade pendant in her hand, the evidence is conclusive, even if the fourth uncle doesn't admit it, it won't be able to argue, and grandmother may not go to the fourth uncle to confront him." ”

Su Zhan asked puzzledly, "Why do you say that?" ”

Su Yunlai didn't answer him, but asked rhetorically, "What kind of person do you think our fourth uncle is?" ”

It is a very rude thing for the younger generation to evaluate the elders, if it is a positive evaluation, it is easy to say, but the fourth master of the Su Mansion, I am afraid that even he himself will not be able to think of any of his merits.

However, Third Young Master Su would not be a person who cared about this kind of thing, so he spoke without hesitation: "Fourth Uncle has always been absurd, he is not afraid of the world's eyes, he does his own thing, but he also lives freely. ”

Su Yunlai nodded, indeed, the entire Su family, that is, the fourth master, lived the most nourishing.

"Even you have such an impression, knowing the son Mo Ruo's mother, grandmother will also think that this time the matter of the fourth lady is just another absurdity of the fourth uncle, she will not ask the fourth uncle, but will clear the trouble of the fourth lady for the fourth uncle." Su Yunlai said firmly.

"Why?"

"Because if the fourth uncle knows, things will be more troublesome, but it will be difficult to deal with, it is better for her to take action to deal with this fourth lady, and she will not know it." What's more, there is also Su Zhixun, the scapegoat, who carries the black cauldron.

However, Su Yunlai did not say this sentence in his heart.

"Isn't that father's reputation ruined again?" Su Zhan frowned and said.

Su Yunlai smiled meaningfully: "So, we can't let things end unnoticed, we have to help the fourth lady." ”

The next thing, as Su Yunlai expected, Mrs. Su did not go to Su Zhiming to verify, but planned to quietly dispose of the fourth lady.

She did not hand over this matter to her little daughter-in-law and fifth wife, who she had always trusted, but to Mama Xu.

"You go, first send the people to the Zhuangzi, find a reason, and then deal with the people." Old Lady Su said indifferently.

Mama Xu hesitated: "But the old lady, what if the child in the belly is really the fourth master's......"

Old Mrs. Su glanced at her with some dissatisfaction, as if she was very surprised by her question: "Child? What a child, Naruto doesn't need a child of unknown origin! ”

Like this kind of woman who is fornicating outside, even if she is pregnant, it is generally difficult to get the approval of the big family, because the blood unification matter is not clear at all, anyway, in the big family, there is generally no shortage of one or two sons to inherit the family business, and it is really not possible to say that there is a succession, and the real family will not recognize the children born and raised outside.

And some women who climb the dragon and attach the phoenix, thinking that as long as they have children, they can be recognized and included in the house, but in fact, it just exposes their ignorance.

Mama Xu's heart sank, and she responded in a low voice: "Yes, the slave will do it." ”

Tian Niangzi was still proud of her wit at this time, and when she heard the conversation of the people in the courtyard that day, Tian Niangzi's heart was alive.

Tian Niangzi was originally just from a poor background, doing some stealing chickens and dogs, she originally had a partner, this child is that partner's, just in an operation, the partner was caught by mistake, she found out that she was pregnant, and she was worried that she didn't know what to do, but someone found her and asked her to help play a play.

The man only said that let her come to the Su Mansion to recognize her relatives, and said that the child in her belly belonged to the second master of the Su family, and as long as she made a big fuss, she would be given a large sum of silver afterwards.

But Tian Niangzi entered the Su Mansion and saw the wealth of the Manchu Mansion, as well as a few graceful and luxurious wives, and even the maids were dressed more decently than her, Tian Niangzi couldn't help but have a sense of expectation in her heart, how good would it be if she could really stay here?

That day, she overheard the conversation of the people, and knew that the original second master was a stereotypical person, and he was not the biological son of Mrs. Su.

Who would give a share of another man's property? Tian Niangzi understands this truth very well, so she immediately shifted the target, if the fourth master is changed, with the absurdity of the fourth master, wouldn't it be easier to do this?

Originally, the fourth lady was still a little hesitant, but that night, a man in black entered her room and gave her a jade pendant and a sentence: "This is the jade pendant of the fourth master of the Su family." ”

The fourth lady immediately understood that she was afraid that she was involved in the battle between the ladies in the backyard of the Su family, but so what? Wasn't that exactly what she wanted?

So the fourth lady changed her mind the next day.

In Lingyun Courtyard just now, Mrs. Su left her alone, but she only asked her one sentence: "Have you recognized people clearly now?" ”

"Old lady, the concubine will never admit her mistake, the flesh and blood in the concubine's belly are the fourth master!" The fourth lady said categorically.

Mrs. Su stared at her for a while, and finally said lightly: "Since it is my son's flesh and blood, let's go back and take care of the fetus, I will wait to be a grandmother again." ”

The fourth lady was overjoyed, gave Mrs. Su a salute, and then retreated with a shyly face.

The fourth lady stroked her flat belly, and had given birth to infinite hopes, and the maid who was serving her brought dinner, which was specially allowed by Mrs. Su, and the share was compared with the wife of the main room, and when she heard the maid say, the fourth lady was happy.

"Let's leave it there for now." The fourth lady was a little overjoyed when she got Mrs. Su's words today, and she didn't have any appetite at this time.

The maid was a little speechless and stopped, but looked at her with an excited face, and a touch of disdain flashed in her eyes, and then she said: "That aunt, you want to use it, don't starve the little young master in your belly." ”

The fourth lady was full of smiles, and secretly said in her heart, the maids of this big family are so good at talking.

"Okay, you don't have to wait with me, go down first."

After the maid retreated, the fourth lady thought for a while, and was just about to pick up the chopsticks, when suddenly the door rang, and the fourth lady pushed the door open, and there was a mother-in-law standing outside.

On this day, Mrs. Su was in a very good mood, and the fourth old man sent her a purple jade carved gold hairpin early in the morning, which made the old lady Su, who was a little dissatisfied with the fourth old man, immediately forget about his bad coming.

Finally, he still thinks about her mother, not only those beasts in his eyes.

The fourth old man accompanied Mrs. Su for a long time, coaxed the old lady to smile, and Mrs. Su allowed him to withdraw two thousand taels of silver from the account, and the fourth old man left satisfied.

Mrs. Su kept gesturing the hairpin of the fourth old man's filial piety in the mirror, and then Mama Xu came back with an ugly face.

"Old lady, the slave and maid are not doing well, please forgive the old lady!" Mama Xu knelt down as she spoke.

Mama Xu has been following Mrs. Su for half her life, and she is a little decent in front of her, but today she is so excited.

Mrs. Su's expression lightened a little: "What's wrong?" ”

"Old lady, Tian Niangzi is gone!" Mama Xu said with a blue face: "The slave maid went to Tian Niangzi's yard early this morning, and found that she was no longer in the room, the slave maid asked the maid who was waiting, and they all said that they had not seen her, and the slave maid had sent someone to look for her in the house, but they didn't find it, the slave and maid were afraid of her, should she run away?" ”

Mrs. Su's brows immediately twisted, she slowly retracted her five fingers, and after a long time, she said coldly: "Find!" Someone must be found! ”

Mama Xu was taken aback by the coldness in her tone, "Yes, yes, slave maid will go!" So saying, he hurriedly got up from the ground, turned around and walked out.

But no matter how Mama Xu looks, Tian Niangzi is like evaporating from the world, and no one has been found, but the love and hatred between the second and fourth masters and Tian Niangzi in the capital are spreading.

Now the hottest thing in the teahouse is the scandal of the Su family.

"Have you heard about the Su family?"

"What's the matter?"

"Hey, is there a woman who came to the door with her stomach up?"

"Yes, yes! That's it. ”

"I heard that this woman kept saying that the child in her belly belonged to the second old man, and she had an unclear relationship with the second master of the Su family, and the woman's origin was unknown, and she had empty lips and white teeth, so Mrs. Su actually let her enter the door!"

"Why is this old lady Su so confused? How can such a woman be allowed to enter the door? Sure enough, let a woman be in charge, the vision is not good! ”

"Also, didn't the fourth master of the Su family come back two days ago? As a result, as soon as the woman saw the fourth master, she shouted husband! I heard that the fourth master was looking for a green-skinned parrot outside, but unfortunately, the parrot flew to the woman's house, and the fourth master and the woman fell in love at first sight, and something good happened that day! It's really a bird's bond! ”

"I thought that the fourth master really didn't love money or sex, and specialized in playing with birds, but I didn't expect it to be because playing with birds is beneficial!"

"However, Mrs. Su heard that the child in this woman's belly belonged to the fourth master, and she didn't say anything at the time, but I heard that this woman has disappeared now, and she disappeared out of thin air in the Su family for some reason."

It was the child of the second master, so he took the person into the house, replaced it with the fourth master, and the person disappeared.

Suddenly, one of the people sitting in the crowd spoke: "I heard that the old man Su has an original match, and the second old man is the original match, and the current old lady Su seems to be a stepmother, right?" ”

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but look mysterious, and they felt as if they understood something.

Mrs. Su didn't know about the rumors outside, because no one dared to tell her.

……

In the back garden of the Changsun Mansion, Gu Junyan was sitting on the edge of the pond, fishing with a fishing rod in his hand, but the fishing basket next to him was empty, but the young general didn't care, and he was still fishing with great interest.

Li Sheng walked slowly in front of him, deliberately looked at the fish basket, and then raised his eyebrows and asked, "You came to my house early in the morning to fish, saying that you wanted to add vegetables to me at night, do you want me to eat this fish basket?" ”

Gu Junyan glanced at him, and there was no trace of embarrassment in his tone: "I said a long time ago, you are too rigid, fishing, is to experience the fun, don't care so much about the result!" ”

Li Sheng shook his head with a wry smile and sat next to him, not arguing with him.

Gu Junyan looked behind him, pretending to be casual and asked, "What's the matter, your companion, the affairs at home haven't been dealt with yet?" Why didn't I follow you today? ”

Li Sheng learned his tone and said indifferently: "The matter of the Su family, don't you still have help, don't you know if you solve it?" ”

Gu Junyan suddenly felt that Li Sheng's choked appearance seemed to be a little familiar, and it seemed that Third Young Master Su had always been good at it.

Li Sheng looked at Gu Junyan with two points of inquiry in his eyes: "What about you, you are obviously so busy, how could you suddenly think of going to the troubled waters of the Su family?" ”

"Of course, it's for you to win over Su Zhan, this is a talent, if it can be used for you, it may help a lot in the future." Gu Junyan was serious and said confidently.

Gu Junyan's expression was too serious and serious, and he couldn't see the slightest selfishness, as if he was really thinking about him, although Li Sheng was a little suspicious in his heart, he couldn't think of any other reason, so he let go of the speculation in his heart.

"Why didn't your companion come today? Isn't that the most positive thing on a daily basis? Gu Junyan raised his eyebrows and asked.

"Oh, Mr. Xiu Mu today, he didn't come, I heard that he accompanied his mother to the Fahua Temple to make a vow." Li Sheng replied.

Gu Junyan's eyes flashed, but he said: "Obviously, the person who helped him was you, he didn't come to thank you, but he wanted to thank the Bodhisattva, it's really a bit unusual, let's go to Fahua Temple, and ask what is the reason?" ”

What General Gu Shao wants to do, that must be done, Li Sheng thought, if you have nothing to do, then go and go.

Gu Junyan and Li Sheng arrived at Fahua Temple together, the abbot of the temple did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly came out to greet him.

In the wing room, Gu Junyan and Li Sheng sat facing each other, the door opened, and Su Zhan and Su Yunlai walked in together.

Li Sheng was slightly surprised, Su Yunlai was a woman, and he should have avoided suspicion with them, but he didn't expect her to come too.

Gu Junyan was not surprised by Su Yunlai's arrival, raised his eyebrows, and said with a smile: "Miss Su Qi has always been the most polite and famous, and now that we meet the two foreign men in private, we are not afraid of gossip from others?" ”

Su Yunlai secretly said in her heart, as if she was willing to come? I don't know why, every time he sees Gu Junyan, Su Yunlai has an intuition that he wants to stay away, as if as long as he gets close, there will be infinite trouble.

This is probably the sense of crisis that Su Yun only had when he came to relive two lives, right?

Su Yun looked at Gu Junyan and said seriously: "I didn't meet 'privately' by myself, and my brother is here, not to mention, His Royal Highness the eldest grandson has helped me a lot, knowing that he is coming, it is really rude to not come to visit." ”

After Su Yun finished speaking, he bowed slightly to Li Sheng: "Thank you, Your Highness, for your help, the little girl is grateful." ”

What can Li Sheng help, the emperor is still staring at him, it is Gu Junyan who is busy this time, Li Sheng told Su Zhan about this matter completely, but Su Zhan did not tell Su Yun.

This is actually too troublesome, there is a kind of help, my friend's friend helped, Su Sangongzi in order to simplify things, directly said that it was His Royal Highness who helped.

Li Sheng originally wanted to explain, but he glanced at Gu Junyan, and his face actually showed surprise and disbelief, and there was also a trace of annoyance, as if he was angry that the little girl didn't thank him.

This made Li Sheng feel a little funny in his heart, and he wanted to explain, but he didn't say anything more, but nodded with a smile: "Miss Su doesn't have to be so polite, I have the same brother and sister as Ah Zhan, he has something, and I should help me a little." ”

One of the two of them was sincerely grateful, the other was modest and polite, and the atmosphere was friendly for a while, except for General Gu's mood, which was not very beautiful, but no one cared about him.

Li Sheng looked at Su Yunlai: "This time, you used the fourth room to get out, it was a good strategy, but you used the innocent fourth master, but it was a little inappropriate to act, after all, you are all a family." ”

Su Yunlai lowered her gaze and bowed her head silently, what she did may seem a little out of line to others, she has never seen a woman who calculates her elders like this.

Gu Junyan on the side said at this time: "Otherwise? As an elder, you can calculate the juniors, and the juniors are not allowed to fight back? How can there be such a truth in the world? What's more, it didn't come out of a stomach in the first place, and it wasn't a family. ”

Su Yunlai was not surprised that Gu Junyan would approve of her approach, because he was originally such a person, but she didn't expect that he would speak out to defend her.

Gu Junyan looked at Su Yunlai: "What are you going to do next?" Are you going to go so far? ”

Su Yunlai smiled slightly: "Does the young general know what is the hottest topic in the capital now?" ”

Gu Junyan was stunned, and before he could think about it, he heard Su Yunlai continue: "I heard that the second prince has always had the most important reputation, and it is said that the second prince has always loved his siblings, respected his teachers, and was a corporal of courtesy, and his reputation in the court and the opposition is excellent. ”

After Gu Junyan listened, he already understood, and couldn't help but shake his head, looking at her with a somewhat complicated look: "It's really a good strategy." ”

Li Sheng and Su Zhan thought about it again, and they also understood what Su Yunlai meant, with the character of the second prince who paid so much attention to fame, he would definitely not want a father's infamous companion, and losing the trust of the second prince was the biggest revenge for the fourth wife.

Su Yun looked at Li Sheng and said seriously: "We didn't help with the emperor's birthday gift before, my brother has always felt very guilty in his heart, and this time it can be regarded as a little gift to His Royal Highness." ”

Li Sheng: "......"

Gu Junyan raised his eyebrows and looked at her playfully.

Su Yunlai said solemnly: "Please rest assured, Your Highness, we will never hold His Highness back!" ”

Li Sheng was stunned, and then realized that Su Yun had come to do so much, in fact, to show his loyalty to them, but also to show his strength.

We can protect ourselves, and even when we protect ourselves, we can also help you, which is what Su Yunlai ultimately wants to express.

And she did.

What Su Yunlai wanted from the beginning was not only to clear Su Zhixun's name, but also to use this matter to hit Su Jie's influence in front of the second prince, which was her more important purpose.

As for Su Zhixun's matter, it's just by the way.

Su Yunlai's favorite thing to do is to kill two birds with one stone, killing two birds with one stone.

Even if Su Yunlai used to behave differently from ordinary boudoir women in this way, every time they met, Gu Junyan would have a feeling of getting to know her again and again, as if facing a huge treasure, never knowing what kind of surprise she would give him, and when he thought that she was special enough, she would always surprise him again.

"Miss Su's one step is counted as three steps, won't she be tired?" Gu Junyan raised his eyebrows and asked.

Gu Junyan didn't ask her what she planned to do next, because there was no need to ask anymore, she would be reassuring.

Su Yunlai thought for a while, and then said, "Young General, in the face of rapid changes on the battlefield, you should be able to understand me better, right?" ”

A handsome and sparse young man, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and a smile in his eyes; A gentle and beautiful girl, with a calm and relaxed elegance, looking back calmly, as if there was no room for anything else between the two people.

Su Zhan said expressionlessly at this time: "Anyway, being idle is idle, why don't we play a game of chess, you can take one step and count three steps." ”

Su Yun glanced back and forth at Su Zhan and touched his nose, Third Young Master Su felt that he was being left out, so he was expressing his dissatisfaction?

"What? Miss Su likes to play chess? Li Sheng asked with great interest.

Su Yunlai smiled a little shyly: "I don't have any talent in chess, I don't play well, the third brother should play against His Highness." ”

Su Zhan nodded, comforting a little in her heart, she finally had a trick to cure her.

Gu Junyan on the side said at this time: "Really? It's such a coincidence, His Royal Highness has always said that I am a stinky chess basket, and it seems that it is just right for me to play a game with Miss Su. ”

Su Yunlai: "......"

Su Yunlai thought about it, but nodded and agreed, no why, she actually just wanted to know, how did General Gu Shao stink the chess basket?

This is actually a very strange feeling, that teenager who is looked up to by almost everyone, is a nightmare in the hearts of almost all his peers, when one day, knowing that he is not so perfect, in fact, he also has something that he is not good at, and it is inevitable that he will want to give it a try, maybe he can really beat him?

If you can win General Gu, it must be a very fulfilling thing, right?

Su Yunlai's expression was so eager that she ignored Li Sheng's expression.

Su Yunlai and Gu Junyan set up a chessboard in front of them.
