Chapter 48: Making a living in the dark
Su Muwan heard the sound and had to quickly pull the reins, let the horse stop, raise her legs and dismount.
She wanted to see what kind of medicine Su Xinai was selling in the gourd when she came over at this time.
"Sister, oh, why did the prince just leave, you have to follow along, which makes others think that the women in our palace don't abide by women's morals, and they can't leave men for a moment."
Su Xinai saw her stop, but she also slowed down, this short distance, but she walked swaying for a while.
Walking up, she first saluted Shangguan Chen, and then opened her mouth to mock, but there was still an innocent and concerned expression on her face, as if she was really worried about Su Muwan.
Su Muwan lowered her head, and the corners of her mouth pulled out an extremely mocking smile, but when she looked up, she already had a sad look on her face, pretending to ask sadly.
"Sister, how can you say that about me? I just couldn't accept the news that the prince was going to fight for a while, and the sword had no eyes, so I wanted to tell the prince a few words. How important is the reputation of our woman, how can you slander me here casually, my sister still has to pay attention to what she says! ”
"This king doesn't know when we can splash dirty water with one mouth, and the character of the sister-in-law has even been praised by my father, are you questioning my father?"
Shangguan Chen saw Su Xinai next to him and wanted to give Su Muwan a name of "not abiding by women's morals", and subconsciously opened his mouth to defend her.
In the absence of his brother, of course he has to take on the responsibility of protecting his sister-in-law.
"The concubine doesn't dare, the concubine is just thinking about her sister, I'm afraid that outsiders will say some gossip, if there is anything wrong, I hope my sister and the prince will forgive me for the concubine's heart."
Su Xinai saw Shangguan Chen speaking for Su Muwan, and took out the emperor to suppress people, so she had to quickly defend herself, with a sincere fear on her face.
But she gritted her teeth in her heart, this Su Muwan was lucky, every time someone around her spoke for her, but this time, even if there was Shangguan Chen, she still had to take her things justifiably.
"My sister should be careful when she speaks in the future, this kind of slander about a woman's innocence is better not to speak casually. However, is there something else that my sister is here? ”
Su Muwan felt that Su Xinai must have another purpose when she came over at this time, she was still worried about Shangguan Yu's safety at this time, and she didn't want to waste time playing Tai Chi with Su Xinai, so she asked directly.
"There is one thing, the prince instructed the concubine before the war, saying that sister, you are very tired of taking care of the palace alone, and asked the concubine to be my sister's right-hand man and help my sister share the heavy responsibility of the housekeeper, the prince commanded, and the concubine is not easy to shirk, so come and discuss with my sister."
Su Xinai said while secretly mocking herself, what kind of right-hand man, she doesn't look down on this, what she wants is the power of the entire palace!
Without this, Su Muwan just has the title of "princess" in the house, the real person in power can only be herself, Su Muwan can only be a stepping stone for her Su beloved, and even the name of this "princess" will be returned to herself one day!
When Shen Yun received Su Xinai's notice and learned that Shangguan Yu was going to fight at the border pass, he hurriedly came to the palace to teach Su Xinai the scriptures and help Su Xinai gain a foothold in the palace, and the two conspired.
"That's right, Wanwan, you have to manage such a big palace by yourself, and my mother is very distressed when she sees it, so why don't you let your beloved help you."
As soon as Su Xinai's words were finished, Shen Yun, who was walking behind, was also late, and after hurriedly saluting Shangguan Chen, he looked like a mother and followed Su Xinai's back to persuade Su Muwan.
Su Muwan couldn't see the wishful thinking of the mother and daughter at this time, the last time Shen Yun came to the mansion to attend a family banquet, she intentionally or unintentionally tested herself.
At that time, I had already guessed that she would be in charge, but I didn't expect it to be so fast.
Su Muwan didn't know that during this period of time, Shen Yun felt more and more uneasy, obviously Su Muwan was still as "stupid" as before, but she always felt that something was out of control, so she had to plan ahead.
Good! Since she wants to act, she Su Muwan will play them to the end!
"My sister is coming to help me?" She frowned and bit her lower lip slightly, as if to think about whether it was feasible or not.
"Yes, I blame me, I have been partial to you since I was a child, I can't bear to see you suffer, so that you haven't learned any housekeeping skills before you leave the cabinet, but you love it, and you have learned from me in our house for many years to be in charge of the feed, she helped you, it couldn't be better."
Shen Yun softened his voice and pretended to advise.
When Su Muwan heard this, she sneered in her heart, she couldn't bear to see herself suffer, so she didn't teach herself the art of being in charge? If she didn't know her vicious thoughts, she just wanted to cultivate herself into a vase that didn't understand anything.
In her previous life, she believed in their mother and daughter, and she let them do everything, and she would never repeat the same mistake in this life.
Mama Ying is the nurse of the prince, and she believes that Mama Ying will not be so easily bought by their mother and daughter, so what she has to do now is to deal with Shen Yun's mother and daughter and insist on keeping Mama Ying's position.
As long as they don't listen to Shen Yun's words like in their previous life, and take the initiative to withdraw Mama Ying, presumably Shen Yun's mother and daughter can't help her.
Shen Yun saw that Su Muwan hadn't responded for a long time, and then said, "Did Wanwan forget what her mother said to you before?" The prince is already more ...... to his beloved."
At this point, Shen Yun deliberately stopped and gave Su Muwan a look, hoping that she could understand what she meant.
Of course, in fact, in front of Shangguan Chen, there are some things that can't be said too clearly, otherwise if Shangguan Chen passes it on to Shangguan Yu, it may be impossible to steal chickens and rice.
Then he continued: "But you and your beloved are sisters, with your beloved help, your mother will be relieved, presumably the prince also means this, he will be happy to see your sisters work together to govern the palace well, so that the prince will definitely value you more." ”
Su Muwan listened, her face did not move, and her heart sneered again and again. Knowing what Shen Yunwei said, didn't he just want to say that Shangguan Yu preferred Su Xinai, so he obediently made room for Su Xinai.
In the past, when she didn't see through the truth, she was still obsessed with Shangguan Yu's love for Su's heart. Now she knows that her impression of Shangguan Yu in her previous life was completely misled by this mother and daughter, so now she will not easily push Shangguan Yu away.
The same is true of this master's persuasion, if you want it, there is no way!
Su Xinai saw that Su Muwan was silent for a long time, and handed Shen Yun a suggestive look, and the two stepped forward, one left and one right, and surrounded Su Muwan.
Su Xinai even used her usual means, pretending to be timid, pulling Su Muwan's sleeve, and said pitifully: "Sister, I didn't want to agree when the prince spoke, but I also know that my sister has no experience in housekeeping, and I'm worried that my sister will encounter any trouble in this, so I also want to help my sister, let's kiss sisters, aren't I more at ease than outsiders?" ”
Hearing this, Su Muwan thought to herself, of course she is not at ease, she can rest assured of anyone, but it is impossible to be at ease with the mother and daughter.
"But Wangfu Pingsuri has always been taken care of by Mama Ying, I usually only listen to her reports occasionally, I don't need to do anything else, what can my sister do to help me?"
Su Muwan frowned, with a tangled look on her face.
Seeing this, Shen Yun hurriedly said: "Wanwan, it's not your mother who said you, as a princess, how can you rest assured that you can hand over the affairs of a large family to your subordinates, in my opinion, simply withdraw Mama Ying and give her an idle job to enjoy her old age, just let your beloved work harder and take over the big and small things she is in charge of, you still just need to be like the past, you don't need to worry, isn't this good?" ”
Su Muwan still remembered that the last time Shen Yun came to attend the family banquet, she scolded herself as a princess for not worrying about the affairs of the palace, and kept persuading herself to ask Shangguan Yu for power, and to learn to worry more about everything.
Now she said that she didn't need to worry about it, and the words came out of her mouth, always looking like she was in her heart.
But at that time, Shen Yun wanted to use the name of Princess Yipin to force Shangguan Yu to make him tired of himself, and by the way, he made a springboard for Su Xinai.
The plan failed, and now he is plotting to replace Mama Ying's position, so that he can become a family member who is not worthy of the name, and the power of the family actually falls into the hands of Su Xinai.
This mother and daughter really treat themselves like fools, but unfortunately, she is no longer the Su Muwan who doesn't care about the world, and she sees their conspiracy clearly.
Su Muwan looked at Shen Yun with a little worry in her eyes and said: "Mother doesn't know, Mama Ying is the nurse of the prince, and the prince trusts her the most, so if she is removed from her position, the prince will blame me when he comes back......"
Hehe, idiot! I want the prince to blame you, otherwise where to find an excuse for yourself to be in power! Su Xinai sneered in her heart.
After all, she was in the name of the prince's instructions this time, in fact, don't say the instructions, Shangguan Yu was just busy sending people to find Su Muwan after returning from the palace, and didn't say a word to herself at all.
If it weren't for the sudden issuance of the holy decree in the mansion, she wouldn't even have a chance to meet Shangguan Yu.
After the holy decree was read, the emperor gave Shangguan Yu an hour to prepare, he didn't prepare for himself at all, he just ordered his subordinates to help him clean up, and he was still focused on finding Su Muwan.
It was not until later, when the hour came, that he had to be ordered to go to the barracks outside the city.
When Shangguan Yu came back and saw Su Muwan remove Mama Ying, he would only be busy blaming her, and he would not think of investigating why he was in charge of the family.
This is the whole plan that Shen Yun and the two of them have conspired up, and Su Xinai feels that there is nothing wrong with it.
Shangguan Chen, who was next to him, saw the two of them singing and singing in harmony and surrounding Su Muwan, lest they bully Su Muwan, and asked angrily, "Are you persecuting the princess's sister?" ”
"Thirteen princes, how can a courtier persecute her daughter, it's just a mother's heart, a heart that loves her daughter", Shen Yun's face was sincere.
"Yes, Lord Wang, we are all close relatives and flesh and blood, so why talk about persecution," Su Xinai also took the opportunity to say, "But we still have to talk about some family matters, I'm afraid it's a little inconvenient for the prince to be here." ”
Shangguan Chen is always a little hindered here, he can't say a lot of things in front of him, and he is here to support Su Muwan, so Yu plans are in the way, so Su Xinai can only coax him away first.
Shangguan Chen was about to refute, but when he was about to open his mouth, he suddenly saw Su Muwan, one of the two, winking at him, and the shape of his mouth seemed to be saying "back door".
Back door? Shangguan Chen suddenly understood.
