"Then why does Nangong Jing think that his grandfather only found out three days ago?"

Qin Nan replied quickly: "Because Sister Jing has always thought that she has hidden it well, and no one in the family knows about it. But three days ago, the fifth prince suddenly said that he wanted to marry her, and she would confess everything to her grandfather in a state of excitement. ”

"She originally thought that her grandfather would agree to their marriage, but who knows," Qin Nan suddenly felt infinite emotion in her heart, "Not only did her grandfather resolutely disapprove ......of their marriage, but also in order to cut off Sister Jing's thoughts, he wanted to choose a son-in-law for her personally." Sister Jing was helpless, so she came to me for help. ”

Su Shi was unmoved, but just muttered: "What happened three days ago that made Nangong Bo so decisive." ”

Zhou Jin had been quietly listening to their conversation, but the more she listened, the more puzzled she became, although she could hear the conversation between Su Shi and Qin Nan clearly, what she didn't understand was why they attached so much importance to this matter.

Of course, she was also very dissatisfied, after all, Zhou Qi was a royal nobleman, handsome, and mild-tempered, and she was in love with Nangong Jing, but Nangong Bo actually wanted to beat the mandarin duck.

The more she thought about it, the more angry she became, and she couldn't help but snort coldly: "Since the Nangong family is the first family in the capital, but my fifth brother is a relative of the emperor, what is there that is not worthy of Nangong Jing?" ”

As soon as she finished speaking, she saw Su Shi and Qin Nan looking at her in a daze, and Zhou Jin had a gloomy face: "Did I say something wrong?" ”

Su Shi sighed: "You are not wrong, but the point now is not that Nangong Bo did not agree to the marriage of Nangong Jing and the fifth prince, but why he did not agree." ”

Zhou Jin didn't react for a while, and Su Shi explained: "Since Nangong Bo has long known about the matter of the Fifth Prince and Nangong Jing, he has never spoken out against it before, or even expressed anything, which shows that he acquiesced. ”

"But three days ago, when Nangong Jing admitted her relationship with the Fifth Prince, Nangong Bo would strongly oppose it, indicating that something must have happened three days ago that affected him, so he would object."

"Could it be that the fifth brother made a mistake and made Nangong Bo disagree, so he objected?" Zhou Jin pondered, but then denied his thoughts, "Fifth brother, he has always followed the rules, he is a humble gentleman, and he will not do those unruly behaviors. ”

"In fact, even if the five princes occasionally violate the rules, it will not affect Nangong Bo's decision, so the problem is not with the five princes."

"The problem is not with the fifth brother, but with whom?"

Su Shi just smiled slightly: "What's even more strange now is that Nangong Bo is suddenly going to cultivate now, and he doesn't see outsiders at all." ”

Qin Nan immediately added: "And he didn't have this habit in previous years. ”

Su Shi continued: "And when I met him, he was in a better state than me, so he wouldn't have to cultivate because of his body. ”

Zhou Jin's eyes looked directly at him: "What exactly do you want to say?" ”

Su Shi stood up, walked to the window, looked into the distance and was silent for a while, then walked back and sighed softly: "The only explanation is that Nangong Bo knew three days ago that a big event was about to happen in the capital, and it was about the royal family, so he not only opposed the marriage between Nangong Jing and the fifth prince, but also obviously he was unwilling to get involved in this dispute, so he closed the door." ”

Zhou Jin's face suddenly turned pale, Su Shi said that a major event related to the royal family was about to happen in the capital, and she naturally knew what it was.

She said with difficulty: "Is it ...... The Nangong family already knows? ”

Su Shi smiled bitterly: "You should know that when a person's power reaches a certain level, there are few secrets in this world that he doesn't know." ”

"And Bae Hyun will definitely not let go of this opportunity."

At this time, Qin Nan said silently: "So it should be the day before yesterday, Pei Xun's people should have deliberately spread the news." Her expression also darkened, "I'm afraid that from that day on, the people in the capital have become panicked." ”

Zhou Jin glanced at Qin Nan, but didn't say anything, because Qin Nan would know about it, and she didn't have to think that Su Shi had told her.

Zhou Jin only felt upset, she knew that if those forces in the capital knew that her father had only two months to live, no one could predict what would happen?

Seeing Zhou Jin's sad expression, Qin Nan couldn't bear it, so he hurriedly comforted: "At present, it is just our speculation, maybe the head of the Nangong family opposes the Fifth Prince and Sister Jing for another reason. ”

Su Shi said lightly: "There is a way to confirm our guess. ”

Zhou Jin immediately asked, "What method?" ”

"The family is all sharing the same weal and woe, if only the head of the Nangong family closes the door to thank the guests, it may be just an accident, but if most of the family heads in the capital suddenly close their doors, it means that the matter has leaked out."

Then he looked at Zhou Jin and said slowly: "But don't worry too much, because the current situation is a good thing for us." ”

"Why?"

"In the past, I was always worried that for the supreme position, the family in the capital would be involved, and with the influence, strength and financial resources of the family, once they participated, the situation was definitely not something that any one person could control."

"But judging from Nangong Bo's actions at this time, the heads of those families are far more cunning than I imagined, all of them are a thousand-year-old fox, and they are all ready to leave the incident under the current situation of uncertainty, so as not to stand on the wrong side and bring disaster to their own family."

"Of course, when the situation in the capital becomes clear, these families will also raise their flags in response, so that even if the income is small, as long as they can keep the capital, they will be considered profitable."

Speaking of this, Su Shi showed a worried look on his face: "I'm worried about another thing now." ”

Qin Nan asked silently, "What's the matter?" ”

"The Hu people's mission." Su Shi's eyes became extremely deep, "Don't you think that the time when the Hu people's envoys came to the capital is too coincidental, I don't believe that their purpose is just to marry Her Royal Highness the princess." ”

"What do you mean?"

Su Shi pinched his forehead and said with a distressed expression: "Don't you ask me? Now I don't know anything. ”

Originally, Zhou Jin wanted to stay in the General's Mansion for a while, because she seemed to feel that she hadn't seen Su Shi for a long time, but now she wanted to confirm Su Shi's guess earlier, so even if she was reluctant, she left the General's Mansion in a hurry.

After Zhou Jin left, Qin Nan suddenly looked at Su Shi and couldn't help asking, "Do you think the fifth prince suddenly wants to marry Sister Jing, will he have another purpose?" ”

Su Shi was silent for a while, then finally looked up at her and sighed: "Although I also want to think of a person's motives on the good side, I really can't explain myself. ”
