Chapter Forty-Six: Taking Advantage of the Situation

Yu Jin pondered and said: "Let them draw a topographic map of the capital of the Changwei Kingdom, the location of the Protector General's Mansion, the internal layout of the General's Mansion, as well as the list and preferences of the family members, the main in-laws and close officials and political enemies of the Protector General's Mansion, as detailed as possible, I will build a file of the Gongsun Mansion of the Wei State in case of emergency."

Wu Feng frowned and said, "These are two small characters, who were not welcomed in the Gongsun Mansion, so they were sent. They were timid, saying that the post house was haunted at night, and I tried to interrogate them, and I guess they didn't know much. β€œ

"Big cousin, there is no reaction at the post house when three dead and two dark guards are lost?"

"Well, there is a reaction. I heard that Prince Lan brought Gongsun who turned into a eunuch into the palace to protest, and the spearhead was directed at General Shenwei's mansion. On the day Changqing was killed, General Zhu Shao injured the guards at the gate of the post house and threatened to find out the murderer. Now that General Zhu Shao has been suspended, Director Fang Ronghua has been reprimanded for leaking information to General Zhu Shao, fined for half a year, and the emperor directly ordered him to deal with it. β€œ

Yu Jin's brows jumped, this grandson was charming and went to see the emperor. made a decision on the spot and took advantage of the situation, she really had some skills, and she was afraid that she would take the opportunity to turn over. Her defeat this time made her borrow a ladder to enter the palace to face the Holy Complaint, which is really a fierce rival.

"Any other news?"

"Today, I heard some rumors that slandered Changqing, saying that Major General Zhu and Changqing were broken sleeves. In order to avenge Changqing, General Zhu Shao spread rumors that were unfavorable to Gongsun Charm, the purpose was to prevent Gongsun Charm from entering the palace to destroy the gang relations between the two countries, as well as rumors about Concubine Mei and Fang Ronghua, saying that they were childhood sweethearts. β€œ

"Please don't find out where the rumors came from in the first place, and who is spreading them. This grandson is not simple, and if he fights back so quickly, someone must be secretly helping. You go and examine the two secret guards again to see if there is an internal response in the capital. β€œ

Wu Feng shook his head helplessly, "It's too late now, I will be on duty day and night on the eve of the Empress Dowager's birthday, and I can't find someone to interrogate, I have to wait until after my birthday to interrogate them." The rumors can be handed over to Wu Yan to investigate quietly, he and Wu Lie often mix on the street and know a lot of gangsters. β€œ

Changbai saluted respectfully, "Big cousin, thank you!" I should have taken on it, but you were all busy. Do you think it's okay for me to come forward to stop the rumors, is there anything I can do? β€œ

Before Wu Feng could speak, Yu Jin denied Changbai's idea, she said: "Gongsun is not good at charming, she turned the disadvantage into a push to enter the palace, and the rumors spread implicated Liao Zhongcheng, Fang Zuocheng, and General Shenwei's mansion, especially Fang Ronghua and Concubine Mei's rumors are the most vicious." Big brother, it's useless for us to stop or spread any rumors now, I'm afraid that the emperor won't believe anyone's words after seeing Gongsun charming. Please take the time to find my grandfather and let him know this confession. β€œ

"I'll go back to my grandfather-in-law." Wu Feng took back his confession and left.

Changbai was a little anxious and asked, "Big sister, what should we do?" You say I'll do it. β€œ

Yu Jin thought for a while and said, "General Zhu is about to enter Beijing, and when he returns home, General Zhu should lift the ban." The matter of Fang Ronghua and Concubine Mei was taken out and used, and the emperor was suspicious and afraid that he would have a bad heart. Gongsun Charming wants to take advantage of Concubine Mei's affairs to turn over, I am afraid that he will really enter the palace as he wishes, but I hope that my grandfather has a way to stop it.

Our roots in the capital are too shallow, and if we weren't for our eldest cousin, we would still be in the dark about what is happening outside. Big brother, you go to your father and tell your father everything that your eldest cousin has discovered, so that he can be on guard. β€œ

Changbai agreed very happily, and he said, "Okay, I'll go now."

Yu Yao shook her head and said, "No, you can take Xing Ji with you early tomorrow morning." Where is Zhu San? β€œ

A person floated in from outside and saluted, "Zhu San is here."

Yu Jin instructed Zhu Sandao: "You heard what you said just now!" This incident has something to do with General Zhu Shao's distress at the border four years ago, you go to General Zhu and tell him what happened here. β€œ

"Yes." I wish Sanyi disappeared without a trace.

Yu Jin was a little embarrassed, "Big brother blames me for causing trouble." β€œ

Changbai's face sank, and he glanced at his sister dissatisfied, "Misfortune and fortune are dependent, blessing and misfortune are lurking, who can say for sure!" You don't have to fight everything by yourself, I am your eldest brother, we are brothers and sisters, we can only share weal and woe, what kind of brother and sister. In the future, the eldest sister must not say this again, the eldest brother does not like to hear it. β€œ

Yu Jin nodded and was taught, and returned to Zizhuyuan worriedly. This emergency exposed the disadvantages of living outside the city, and if you want to go out to do things, no matter what you pretend to be, as long as someone pays a little attention to going out, you will be targeted. Because it is too obvious that there is only one family here, and it is next to the official road, it is easy to identify the faces of the people who return to the city from Xibian Bridge.

Yu Jin felt a sense of oppression, tossing and turning all night, and fell asleep dimly at dawn. Xinu knew that the young lady had something on her mind, and she was afraid of being woken up when she fell asleep, so she got up early and blocked the intersection outside the hospital with Leng Hui.

When Cao's mother came over, she saw Xinu standing at the intersection and greeted with a smile, "Miss Xinu, is the eldest lady here?" β€œ

"Is there something wrong with Mother Cao? The eldest lady didn't sleep all night yesterday, and she didn't sleep until dawn. β€œ

Cao's mother stopped, "It's not a big deal, it's just to say hello to the eldest lady, and the eldest young master will send Mrs., Aunt Ding, and the third young master to find the master, and they will live in the yamen for a while." Madame told the eldest lady not to worry, there is still a father and mother! You tell the eldest lady that the eldest lady will sleep more, and I will not wake up the eldest lady. β€œ

"Mother Cao, let's go, I'll tell the eldest lady."

Yu Jin didn't wake up until almost noon, and when she saw Yu Yao and Yu Zhuo sitting in front of the couch to help her fan, she smiled, "Two younger sisters, why are you here, where did Xi Nu and Leng Hui go, how could I sleep so deeply?" β€œ

"Xinu asked Dr. Zhuge for a soothing incense, I want the eldest sister to sleep more, I guess you are about to wake up and my third sister and I came in. I'll let Xi Nu and Leng Hui go their separate ways, and here we can just watch the eldest sister. Yu Yao kept the fan in her hand, Yu Zhuo went out to help Yu Jin get toiletry, and helped Yu Jin bring her clothes.

As soon as Yu Jin cleaned up, Yu Zhuo had already brought breakfast. Yu Yao still kept helping Yu Jin fan with her hands, and pulled Yu Jin to sit down with a smile, "The eldest sister will eat first, and when my mother leaves, I will tell the third sister and I to listen to the eldest sister's arrangement, if there is any work that the eldest sister arranges for us, we will definitely be able to do a good job." β€œ

Yuzhuo smiled and said firmly: "The eldest sister believes that we can do a good job, the eldest brother will take over all the affairs of the outer courtyard, and there is not much to do in the inner courtyard, although the eldest sister will arrange for us to try."

"Thank you, second sister, third sister." Yu Jin was very moved, the two younger sisters were really close and respectful to her, and they seemed to have suddenly grown up and become sensible.

Yu Jin received her sister's affection, dependence, and trust, and she was very happy with the rapid growth of her sisters. She hurriedly finished breakfast, stopped Yu Zhuo and Yu Yao from cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks and said, "Don't move, let Xi Nu clean up later." You sit down first and listen to me, second sister, I will hand over all the pastry shops to you to take care of, Wang can be your assistant, and you can have the confidence to manage it well. β€œ

Yu Yao nodded and solemnly promised, "I can, I can't, I can ask Bai Zhao, don't you still have the eldest sister behind me!" β€œ

Yu Jin turned to Yu Yao and said, "The third sister is younger, and it is a little difficult to take care of the ready-to-wear workshop, but with Aunt Meng to help you, are you willing to try?"

"Big sister, I'll do my best." Yuzhuo's eyes lit up excitedly, and he raised his head firmly and responded loudly.

Yu Jin was pleased and encouraged: "Sisters work together, and their benefits are golden." With the help of two younger sisters, Bai Zhao and Ah Xiu can free up their hands to do other things. The eldest sister won't look at you in trouble, and you don't have to fight it yourself, just come to me. β€œ

Yujin deeply realized that it feels good to have a family to protect her, and when something happens, it makes the family more united and cohesive.

Yu Yao and Yu Zhuo accepted the task to hand over to Bai Zhao and Ah Xiu. Xi Nu and Leng Hui walked in, one Ma Li cleaned up the table, and the other cleaned up the bed.

Xi Nu cleaned up and returned to Cao's mother to pass on the words, "Miss, the eldest young master has become responsible like an eldest brother, this time to send Mrs. into the city, it will be convenient for us to go back and forth in the city." β€œ

"Well, my mother has more opportunities to communicate with the ladies of various provinces when she goes to the city, and she can also know some information. Bringing Aunt Ding into the city is a wonderful move, Aunt Ding is young and beautiful to stay here, the eldest brother housekeeper is really inconvenient, staying with his father saves him from accepting the new aunt into the door. β€œ

"Giggles, miss, it's not stupid to look at the eldest young master like this. It's just that I don't want to worry about it, and it's not bad to really move my heart. β€œ

Yu Jin feigned anger and said, "Xi Nu, you are looking for a fight." You dare to dislike my eldest brother for being stupid, there are a few people who can be nineteen-year-old in the Jinshi, martial arts, and all-round talents in civil and military affairs. β€œ

"I said the wrong thing, it's not stupid, it's honest." Xi Nu hurriedly stuck out his tongue and smiled to correct it.

"Okay, don't be poor, go and get a map of the capital."

"Yes, miss, I'll fetch it." Xi Nu cleaned up the house, saluted Yujin and ran out naughtily.

In the study, it was too messy to sort out the things that Ah Xiu brought back, Yujin spread the map on the table, Leng Hui came over and asked in surprise, "Is there an action?"

Yu Jin buried her head in looking at the map and said, "There is no action for the time being." There is a grandson who is charming here for a day, we don't want to be pure, even if she can't enter the palace, she is not a woman who can easily say defeat. Her appearance reminded us that there is no industry in the city, let alone information channels, and if it wasn't for the second brother's accident this time, I'm afraid we wouldn't even know how to be counted to death. β€œ

"Miss, do you want to build a house on these vacant lands? Why not just buy ready-made, that quick. Seeing that Yu Jin's fingers kept slicing across the open space, Xi Nu sensitively guessed Yu Jin's thoughts.

Yu Jin looked at the empty nod on the map, "There are plans to build a house." There are many disadvantages to buying a ready-made house, which requires a lot of money, and has lived in the neighborhood for many years, and suddenly moving over a stranger will attract their attention, and we don't know their relationship circle and can't get along, and it's easy to get into trouble. β€œ

"What kind of house does Miss want to build, do you have a plan in mind?" Leng Hui saw that the open space that Yujin looked at was not a faΓ§ade, and it was relatively remote.
