Duan Rubian picked it up, and Mama Yan said slowly: "This letter was written by Mrs. today and sent to the prime minister and the eldest prince in Xijiang, the old slave did not send it, although the county lord now has the favor of the emperor and the right of the steward of the Duan Mansion, but the Prime Minister's Mansion still covers the sky with one hand, if at this time, the prime minister and the eldest prince come back, I am afraid that the county lord will also have a headache, so the old slave ...... It's up to you. ”

"Do you think that if you can stop this letter, you will be able to prevent the prime minister and them from learning about the capital?" Duan Rubian sneered, "If the Shui clan can think of getting a message from her father, then can't her mother think of it? I'm afraid that the matter of the capital has already spread to Xijiang." ”

Yan Mama looked flustered, "County Lord, although the old slave is just a subordinate, but the old slave has stayed by Mrs. Niang's side since he was a child, the old slave knows a lot of things that Mrs. does, and the old lady knows, the old slave also knows a lot, the county master, the old slave's heart is definitely towards the county master!"

Qinghe looked at Mama Yan, and said with disdain on her face: "You were powerful and powerful by the side of the Shui family before, but you seem to be very heartfelt, why did you come to seek refuge with Miss at this time, how do we know that this is not a conspiracy of your Shui family." ”

Yan Mama secretly scolded Qing He for being nosy, she tried hard to think about the information that could make her look useful, and after being silent for a long time, Yan Mama's eyes lit up, raised her head and said, "I don't know if the county lord has heard of which deceased young lady of the Fu family?"

"Huh?" Duan Rubian raised his eyebrows.

Fu Zhiyun, the eldest master of the Fu family, is the Shangshu of the court, and the prime minister is the same age, the relationship between the Fu family and the prime minister's mansion is nothing more than that Fu Shangshu's sister-in-law married the prime minister that year, and she was even more favored than the old lady at the beginning, but it is a pity that the little sister of the Fu family hanged herself after marrying for the past three years.

Others don't know, but Duan Rubian has heard of it in his previous life, the reason why the little sister of the Fu family hanged herself was not suicide, but the conspiracy of the old lady of the Shui family. The Fu family was Shangshu Mansion at that time, and Fu Xiaomei's family was a little more prominent than Mrs. Shui, not to mention that the prime minister favored her more.

Mrs. Shui was jealous of Fu Xiaomei, it was not difficult to get rid of a smart-minded Fu Xiaomei in the back house, Mrs. Shui used a pair of twins she was pregnant with at the time to frame Fu Xiaomei for poisoning her, and under the conclusive evidence, the prime minister reluctantly locked people up.

And the old lady was worried that the prime minister would let her live, so she secretly sent someone to forcibly hang Fu Xiaomei on the beam of the boudoir!

Fu Xiaomei was identified as committing suicide in fear of crime, this kind of reputation spread, Shangshufu's reputation will definitely not be guaranteed, the prime minister still favors Fu Xiaomei, and he also has the intention of letting Shangshufu sell other favors, so he changed the matter to Fu Xiaomei was sick, and hanged herself while others were not paying attention.

Keeping Fu Xiaomei's reputation, Shangshu Mansion naturally became the lackey of the Prime Minister's Mansion, even though Fu Zhiyun has always suspected his sister's death, but he has no evidence, so he can only be driven by the Prime Minister's Mansion all these years.

The reason why Mama Yan dared to say this was because she was among the people sent by Mrs. Shui to hang Fu Xiaomei at that time. To do this kind of secret thing, Mrs. Shui chose people she trusted, although she was not very old at the time, she was Shui Ningyun's confidant, so she was also driven to the past.

In the eyes of Mama Yan at that time, this matter was not something to keep in mind, so she forgot about it, but now that she thinks about it, Mama Yan realized that this matter is of great significance, she knelt forward two steps, and said excitedly: "County Lord, the original Miss Fu family did not hang herself, but was strangled to death by someone sent by the old lady! As long as this matter is known by Lord Shangshu, she will definitely be furious, and the county lord will tell Lord Shangshu the truth, and Lord Shangshu will definitely stand on the side of the county lord!"

Duan Rubian fought this idea from the beginning.

The secrets of the Fu family and the prime minister's family were exposed in the previous life, but it was a pity that Shangshu at that time was angry and went to find the prime minister's theory, and within a few days, the powerful prime minister casually set up a name and copied the whole family.

She found out that there was Mama Yan among the people who were the counselor at the beginning, so she deliberately lured her to tell the story of the master, and it turned out that everything was under control.

Duan Rubian rubbed the edge of his clothes, hooked the corners of his mouth under Mama Yan's expectant gaze, and said slowly: "What Mama said does make some sense. ”

That's the recognition of her!

Mama Yan was overjoyed, and kowtowed again and again: "The old slave will never live up to the trust of the county lord!"

Mama Yan retreated happily, and Qinghe couldn't hold her breath and asked Duan Rufang, who was about to go back to the room, "Why does Miss believe her, that slave doesn't look like a heartfelt person, and sooner or later something bad will happen." ”

Duan Rubian said as he walked: "She was one of the people who killed Miss Fu in the first place, do you think Fu Shangshu will let her die because she told the truth decades later?" Qinghe suddenly realized, "Miss is smart." ”

Xijiang

The exquisite houses with carved beams and paintings are incompatible with the barrenness of the Xijiang River.

It was already the time of the year, and Shui Ningzhi, the second son of the Shui family, walked to the hospital with Hache, complaining to the men around him as he walked

"Big brother, it's already this time, what is my father still looking for us to do, don't you have to go to see the situation of the dam tomorrow morning? ”

Shui Yunqing was twenty years older than Shui Ningzhi, and he looked unsmiling, and said: "Father must be looking for us at this time, maybe something happened in the capital, don't make this appearance and make my father annoyed." ”

Shui Ning nodded perfunctorily, still looking half-awake, the two followed the maid who led the way into Shui Tianhe's house, the maid retreated and closed the door, the prime minister sat in front of the low table, holding a letter in his hand, his face was cold and hard.

Shui Yunqing arched his hand, "Father." ”

Shui Ningzhi was a little presumptuous, found a place in the house and sat down at random, poured himself a glass of water, took a sip and said, "Father, it's so late, what happened to call the eldest brother and me?"

The prime minister still doted on Shui Ningzhi, and when he saw him like this, he didn't blame, but just threw the letter in his hand on the ground in front of him, and said angrily: "You two can see for yourself." ”

Shui Yunqing stepped forward to pick up the letter paper first, and the more he looked at it, the more gloomy his face became.

Shui Ningzhi came up curiously, and after reading two lines, he laughed sarcastically, "The second sister is really uncomfortable if she doesn't do something for a moment, but now it's okay, she was even caught by the emperor, and the official position of the little nephew was also taken away by the emperor, alas." ”

Shui Mosheng is Shui Yunqing's proudest son, and he is very pleased to have his current achievements, but now because of Shui's stupidity, Shui Mosheng's official position can't be kept!

Shui Yunqing couldn't help but crumpled the letter into a ball, and the prime minister said: "I came to you two to see how to deal with this matter." ”

"What else can be done. Shui Ning said, "Go back, when you go back, the emperor will naturally not dare to continue." ”

Shui Yunqing frowned and said: "No, this side of the Xijiang River can't be delayed, the dam won't last long, if we go back, the dam collapses, we will definitely be criticized by the world." If the affairs of Xijiang are not dealt with, I am afraid that I will not be able to go back. ”

"That's the idea that the emperor hit. There was a little coldness in the prime minister's eyes, "If you don't go back, your foundation will definitely be damaged, if you go back, our prime minister's mansion will lose the hearts of the people, and even if it is the opposite, it will not look good in the history books!"

Hearing this, Shui Ningzhi's expression became a little more rigorous.

Shui Yunqing thought for a moment, glanced at Shui Ningzhi, and proposed: "Father, even if we can't all go back, the third brother can go back to Beijing under the pretext. ”

"Reasonable. Cheng Xiang pondered and nodded, "You and I will cause rumors when we go back, but it was not the emperor's order to come at the beginning, so I had to let you go back." The prime minister looked at Shui Ning and said.

Shui Ningzhi frowned, "Even if I can go back, I'm afraid I won't be able to solve any problems." ”

The military power is in the hands of the eldest brother and his father, he has no official position in Beijing, and he can't lead the troops back in a righteous and bright way, so what's the point of him going back.

"You don't need to do anything, as long as you help Mo Sheng, and protect your second sister by the way. The prime minister said helplessly, "After you go back, you will go to that section of the mansion to see her first, and if necessary, take her back to recuperate." It would be great if you could get rid of that county lord. ”

Shui Ningzhi saw that the eldest brother and father had already made a decision, so he also nodded and responded to the matter, this kind of time when there is a wolf in front and a tiger in the back, it can only be like this.

On the Prince's Mansion

Duan Ruhua went to greet Murong Yan day by day, and the prince went to Duan Ruhua's courtyard more often than Murong Yan's courtyard for a while, so Duan Ruhua always asked for that matter to poke Murong Yan when he asked for good morning, Murong Yan endured it for a while, and now she finally found an opportunity to make her unhappy

"The side concubine's spirit looks good. In front of some concubines who came to ask for peace, Murong Yan lukewarmly condoled Duan Ruhua.

Duan Ruhua's long eyelashes were lowered, and her round and jade fingertips wiped the tails of her eyes, "As the prince's concubine, the concubine naturally can't lose face in front of outsiders." Duan Ruhua's voice choked up a little, and he sobbed: "Sister, don't blame, the concubine thought of something sad, and the concubine was rude." ”

Murong Yan gritted her teeth, "Concubine Fang is really worried about Concubine Fang's mother? Why did Concubine Ben see that Concubine Fang's life is very nourishing these days, and she didn't think to go to see Concubine Fang's mother?"

"My mother committed such a repugnant crime, and she was imprisoned by the Holy Circle, and the concubine couldn't see it if she wanted to. Duan Ruhua was about to shed tears.

Murong Yan still wanted to stimulate her for a few words, but when she saw the prince walking towards this side, a group of people got up and saluted, and the prince didn't look at it, so he went to help Duan Ruhua up, and glanced at Murong Yan with sharp eyes, "Why does the crown princess need to be aggressive." ”

Murong Yan smiled stiffly and straightened up, "The prince said that he was laughing, the concubine just wanted to know more about this matter, and the concubine cried inexplicably, and the concubine didn't know what she said wrong." ”
