CHAPTER XXVIII
Three years after the separation, the son of the original owner was already eight years old, and Su Qingni invited him to be a well-educated man as a gentleman and let him study.
Although the child is spoiled by Mrs. Hou, it may be that there is no biological mother, and the biological father is not in tune with the relationship, the child is young and old, and he has not been spoiled by Mrs. Hou, and has become the second owner of the original owner, but is very sensible, and loves to read like his second uncle. Since his son loves to read and he is not short of money, Su Qingni found the best gentleman for him.
The child is also very competitive, and his husband said that the child can already take the children's exam. However, Su Qingni felt that the child was too young, and the pressure of going to school too early was not good for the child's psychology, so she restrained the child from continuing to study hard, and stipulated that he would take the exam when he was older.
Mrs. Hou felt sorry for her grandson's hard study, so she prepared her grandson's food every day, and greeted her grandson with warmth. These things took her almost half a day, making Mrs. Hou busy and happy, and her body was great. Unlike in the timeline of the original owner's existence, Mrs. Hou at this time had been lying on the bed by the Nie clan and was on the verge of death.
"Mother. Su Qingni called out to Mrs. Hou, lifted the curtain and walked into the room.
Mrs. Hou said slightly reproachfully: "What a person, still so frizzy." ”
Su Qingni smiled and said to Mrs. Hou, "Mother, tell you something interesting to make you happy." ”
"What's the matter?" asked Madame Hou suspiciously.
Su Qingni said with a smile: "Sister-in-law finally found out that the things she stole from your private vault were fake, and she was so angry that she vomited blood, and let people beat Dongxue half to death." ”
"Haha...... "Mrs. Hou laughed heartily after hearing this, "They deserve it, let one of them betray the master, and the other is unfilial and greedy for money." ”
Su Qingni said with a smile: "Sister-in-law can't get up from lying in bed now, Dongxue is even more miserable, although she is the eldest brother's woman, but the sister-in-law has the promise to her and gives her the identity of an aunt." She is a girl who has a room, and she has no maid to take care of her when she is beaten to the board, let alone Lang Zhong to treat her, so I am afraid that her life will not be saved. Hehe, I don't know how the big brother will react. ”
Mrs. Hou sighed and said, "Your eldest brother doesn't know about the two of them stealing my private treasury, so I don't think there will be any reaction, I just think that my wife and concubine are jealous." ”
Su Qingni was in her heart, Su Qingxuan was shrewd, and he wouldn't be able to detect his wife's calculation of Mrs. Hou's private treasury? After all, according to the partiality of the mother to the younger brother, there are almost no such shares in those private rooms.
Su Qingni didn't say this speculation, after all, Su Qingxuan is Mrs. Hou's biological son, even if she is disappointed in this son, Mrs. Hou still has some feelings and expectations for her. Didn't you see anything that made Mrs. Hou unhappy, Mrs. Hou only scolded her eldest daughter-in-law, and rarely scolded her eldest son?
Mrs. Hou asked suspiciously: "How long has it been since the family was separated, and the Nie family is about to move my private house?" They have a lot of family property, and the Nie family has a lot of dowry private houses, why do they want to move my private house?"
Su Qingni is very clear about the inside story, and now she is the person who has the most secrets and information in the entire capital.
Su Qingni lowered her voice and said: "The eldest brother secretly took refuge in the third prince, and used his own money to help the third prince do some things, the money in the treasury of the Hou Mansion was almost used, and the sister-in-law didn't want to touch her dowry private house, so she asked people to take out the things stolen from you for money, only to find out that the things were all fake." ”
Mrs. Hou's brows furrowed tightly: "Why is your eldest brother so confused? Is it so easy to get from the dragon gong? If you make a mistake, the entire Hou Mansion will be finished." ”
Su Qingni said: "The eldest brother should be confident, after all, the third prince is the parent of the queen's mother, not to mention his high status, and he is quite capable." ”
Mrs. Hou said: "But the third prince is not the crown prince, the prince is still there." ”
Su Qingni sighed lightly: "The prince's position is unstable. ”
Mrs. Hou also sighed when she heard this.
This is something that the nobles know by heart. The crown prince was the son of the emperor's previous empress, and he occupied the status of the eldest son, so he was named the crown prince. However, without his mother's help, no one to help him blow the pillow wind, the crown prince was not favored and valued by the emperor. Everyone felt that the emperor was sick and didn't want this son to be his heir, and he couldn't say that he would abolish the crown prince one day. Therefore, the prince's position in the court was very embarrassing, and there were not even ministers and capable people to take refuge in the prince.
However, this prince still has some means. According to the information that Su Qingni heard from the detectives, the prince was honest on the surface, and he looked worried and afraid in front of the emperor and courtiers, afraid that he would be deposed—in fact, he was really worried and afraid—but secretly, the prince had already begun to lay out. The courtiers with high official positions were not optimistic about him, so he secretly co-opted those petty officials, and cultivated talents himself, sending these talents to enter the officialdom for scientific examinations. As far as Su Qingni knew, a quarter of the lower-level officials were already from the prince's side, and some even entered the middle-level official class.
These officials look inconspicuous, but they are all mixed in key positions. It was the prince who launched a mutiny and killed all the officials in the court who disobeyed him, as long as there were his own people in these key positions, the court and the government could continue to operate.
And this prince can't say that there will really be a mutiny!
The crown prince cultivated talents not only in terms of civil officials who participated in scientific examinations, but also trained warriors to enter the army, and they gradually became famous. There were people from the prince in the border army, the guard army in Gyeonggi, and the royal forest army in the royal palace.
In addition, the prince also raised a team of private soldiers, the number of which was not large, only about a thousand, but everyone was loyal to the prince. In order to support these private soldiers, the prince needed a lot of money, so he secretly organized caravans to help him make money.
The person in charge of business management is very economical and discerning, and he also took a fancy to Su Qingni's entertainment park, but he was very smart not to want to take it like others, but took the initiative to discuss cooperation with Su Qingni. From Su Qingni, he obtained the right to produce and operate skin care products and cosmetics such as facial cleanser and essential oils, and sold these products to other places in the capital for a lot of profits.
As a result, the cooperation between the two parties was quite pleasant.
From the people below to know the superior, it seems that the prince is also a person with vision and heart, plus he can endure and pretend, Su Qingni feels that it should be good to have such a person as the emperor, at least his own entertainment park can be well preserved.
