Geng Xingshuang saw Zhanpei's face dusty, and after she finished talking about what she heard in Zhuangzi in Qixian County, she asked her to go back to wash and rest.

"Girl, Mother Tan is dead, did the fourth girl do it? Could it be such a coincidence that he really died of illness? Jinbao thought it was too much of a coincidence.

Geng Xingshuang was thinking, why did Mother Tan have to use all her savings to find someone to send a letter to Ningdu City, was it really for the so-called master-servant relationship, but if not, what was her purpose.

"If Mother Tan's death is strange, can the person she is looking for still go to Ningdu City?"

Geng Xingshuang groaned, she could think of whether Mother Tan would keep a hand, if Mother Tan was really harmed, wouldn't the person who harmed her guard against her.

In the next few days, Geng Xingshuang paid attention, and sure enough, he didn't find anyone who came to the mansion from the county to report the news, and the Yao family didn't make any movement.

Fortunately, within two days, Zhu Yan told her that she had told her brother Zhu Shen the truth.

"Sister Shuang, you don't know, after my eldest brother found out about this, he said that I had been messing around for nearly half an hour, saying that I was messing around and almost causing a catastrophe, how did you say that I caused a catastrophe, isn't it that there is no evidence, is it just what we inferred through what happened before? Hmph, if he can find out for himself, where do you need me to tell him! ”

When Zhu Yan saw Geng Xingshuang, he complained, and Geng Xingshuang didn't interrupt her, and only after she was out and heard her breathe a sigh of relief: "I think what Zhu Dagongzi said makes sense, we were indeed a little self-righteous before."

The situation of Anping Bo Mansion is special, during this time, her father is busy with the autumn harvest in Zhuangzi, and is often not in the house, whether it is her grandfather or Geng Shulou in the second room, it seems that it is not a suitable object to say this matter, her brother is busy with martial arts in the coming year, and people have been in Licai Academy, so she has been pressing on her own here.

Speaking of which, she will meddle in this matter, both because of Tao Yuyu and because of Geng Xingbing.

While sympathizing with Tao Yuyu, she must be vigilant and take precautions against Geng Xingbing.

But the Zhu family is different.

Geng Xingshuang said to Zhu Yan, "If you let your eldest brother intervene earlier, he should have placed Xiaoyu well, maybe it wouldn't have happened that day, and besides, if I had told him a few days earlier, then Ge Datian might not have died in prison, and Mother Tan might not have gone silently in Yu County." ”

"Sister Shuang'er, how can you say the same thing as my eldest brother, he also said so, and he also said that these things are not something that Geng Xingbing can do as a backhouse girl, especially the Yada Prison in Ningfeng County, although it is not as strict as the Dali Temple of the Criminal Department, but it is not so easy to kill a person without arousing suspicion. By the way, Sister Shuang, guess who my eldest brother said did it? ”

Geng Xingshuang had already thought about this question, and she said, "First of all, exclude Prince Ping."

Zhu Yan's eyes widened, and he looked incredulous, "What you said is the same as my eldest brother." ”

The reason why Zhu Yan was so shocked was because she guessed King Ping at the beginning, and until now, she hadn't figured out why King Ping was eliminated in the first place.

"Come on, when I asked my eldest brother, he was holding a shelf, asking for this and that, and I wasn't happy to ask him!"

Geng Xingshuang asked her first, "Do you think King Ping has the intention of winning the throne?"

Zhu Yan nodded, "Naturally, even if I don't pay much attention to those things in the court, I have heard of the two princes with the highest voice now, that is, the eldest prince Li Wang and the third prince Pingwang." Do you think King Ping has this in mind? ”

"The eldest prince and the third prince, what about the second prince in the middle?"

The fourth prince and the fifth prince and the prince behind them are ranked low and young, so it is understandable that they have no advantage.

As far as she knows, the second prince's mother is a concubine, and the foreign family is the Wu family of the Ministry of Industry Shangshufu.

Zhu Yan said: "The second prince has followed the eldest prince since he was a child, and has always been the head of the eldest prince, so although he has the ability, whether it is in the court or among the people, his reputation is very good, but he has no idea of seizing the prince, I heard that even if some courtiers take the initiative to lean over, Prince Shen also took the initiative to refuse, of course, these are just gossip, and I don't know if it's true."

Geng Xingshuang nodded, she was not interested in any of this, the main reason why she asked like this was to know what kind of situation King Ping was in in the battle for the throne.

"Then what is the attitude of your Zhenguo Mansion?"

"You're asking which prince our family supports?"

Zhu Yan shook his head and said: "Although I don't participate in this kind of big event, but I know the attitude of the family, our family is unwilling to participate in it, only listen to the emperor's orders, only loyal to the emperor, you know, my aunt is in the palace, she only gave birth to six princesses, my mother said that this is a good thing for our family, since ancient times, in the battle for succession, there are countless families who have ended up tragically, and it is best for our family to avoid it, Sister Shuang, why do you ask this?"

Geng Xingshuang also guessed so.

"The Zhenguo Mansion is deeply trusted by the emperor, the eldest prince is the emperor's close guard, and the prince is the squire of the military department, the prince of the country used to guard the cold city and Lanping, and now although he does not continue to lead the troops, but his prestige has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, what do you say about the situation of your family, what does the prince who has the heart to win the heir think?"

Zhu Yan pondered.

Geng Xingshuang said: "Even if they don't dare to win over openly, they know that it is useless to win over, but if it has been confirmed that Xiaoyu is the flesh and blood of the Zhenguo Mansion, will they harm her, or will they show grace to her, the most advantageous way is to ......"

"Marry her directly!" Zhu Yan rushed out, and immediately shook his head, "Whether it is King Li or King Ping, they have already married wives, so what they want most is to take her as a concubine, and stab Xiaoyu's true identity at the right time, at that time it was a foregone conclusion, Xiaoyu has become the concubine of a certain prince, our family feels guilty about Xiaoyu, and then Xiaoyu will be promoted to a side concubine, even if our house insists on drawing a clear line with a certain prince, there is this layer of in-law relationship, and it will not be clean if you want to draw it." ”

Zhu Yan herself is very keen, she didn't think of these things before, it was that she didn't associate Tao Yuyu's identity with the heir at all, and now Geng Xingshuang reminded her like this, she suddenly figured out the trick.

"Sister Shuang, why are you so powerful, I see that you don't paint on weekdays, or go to the shop to wander around, and the most you read is the book, by the way, when it comes to the book, why is there no new book during this time, the ones sold in the bookstore, I can guess the end after reading the beginning, or the hero named Yun Changyan writes the best."

Zhu Yan didn't know that Yun Changyan was Yang Tianmo, Geng Xingshuang only told her that the person who wrote the book should be a ranger, because he has traveled through many mountains and rivers, and has a lot of experience, so he can write such a story of ups and downs and strange and gorgeous, although sometimes Ning Du can also buy his book of words, but every time it comes out later than Pingcheng, the number is small, and it is often impossible to buy, so Zhu Yan guessed that Yun Changyan is a person from Pingcheng.

With a look of "I really want to look at the book", Geng Xingshuang said in his heart that the person who wrote the book should prepare for the imperial examination, and where would he have time to make up stories.

She now feels a little difficult to ride a tiger, and she didn't tell Zhu Yan at that time, because of her selfishness, when she wants to discuss the content in the book, she can praise the author unscrupulously and blow the author's rainbow fart (this word also appeared in a dream, she thinks the image is very good), and not be ridiculed by Zhu Yan.

"Sister Yan, you digress, besides, Sixth Brother Yang and my second brother have returned to Ningdu, where did anyone send me a notebook! If you wait, maybe in a few months, Ningdu City will be sold again. ”

"Alas!" Zhu Yan sighed a little disappointed and pulled his thoughts back to the previous conversation. (End of chapter)
