Chapter 191: Conjecture

Haijiao was shocked by Xiaomei's conjecture: "Won't it? Maybe Sun Ge's little granddaughter just died early, and no one mentioned it again? ”

Considering that this Sun girl is talking about marriage with the Hou Shizi of Yingchuan, there may be some true feelings. After the death of the Hou Shizi of Yingchuan in the northwest, she may have died of illness due to too much grief. A girl who dies at an early age naturally has no status in the family, and it is not surprising that she will be forgotten later. As soon as she died, Princess Ji Wang was the only granddaughter of Sun Ge Lao, which coincided with the rumors that Haijiao had heard in her previous life.

But somehow, Haitang always had an intuition that his conjecture was more reliable: "If Sun Ge wants to ensure the long-term wealth of the family, he must tie the prince of Ji Wang and his family tightly." If his eldest granddaughter dies and he does not leave a grandson with the blood of the Sun family, he must marry another granddaughter in order to maintain the covenant with the prince of Ji. It can't be a niece or granddaughter, it must be a granddaughter to ensure the rights and interests of his own children.

But the little granddaughter has already married the prince of Yingchuan, in order not to offend Yingchuanhou, he has to settle the marriage contract of the two families peacefully in a way that is acceptable to both parties. But where is it so easy to settle peacefully? The Marquis of Yingchuan is the emperor's confidant, and he holds the power of the army, so he doesn't need to look at the face of the Sun family. Sun Ge Lao couldn't split his little granddaughter in half and marry two men respectively, so he had to let the Hou Shizi of Yingchuan die. ”

And in order to clear his relationship with the death of the Hou Shizi of Yingchuan, he may have taken advantage of Zhou Shuyi's greed. Zhou Shuyi has always intended to tie up with the Sun family, and she has thoughts about the title of the Marquis of Yingchuan, and it is estimated that if she is provoked a few words, she will have murderous intent towards the Marquis of Yingchuan.

She came forward to persuade the Yingchuan Hou couple to send their eldest son to the northwest for training, and asked her brother Zhou Shigong to arrange a place for the Yingchuan Hou Shizi, and then arrange a killer to kill people. When a person dies, the Marquis of Yingchuan and his wife will resent the murderer for committing the murder, will resent the Zhou family's poor governance of the place, will resent Zhou Shuyi for having a bad idea, and will only hate Zhou Shuyi and his wife when they find out the truth, but will not resent the Sun family who has "nothing to do" with this matter. If one of the two parties to the marriage contract dies, the other party is naturally free to choose another match.

As the granddaughter of the powerful Sun Ge Lao, it is naturally impossible for the girl of the Sun family to be asked to watch over her fiancé. At most, she will keep three years for her dead fiancé before she can marry someone else. If Sun Ge is in a hurry, he may not need it for a year. The Yingchuan Marquis may be dissatisfied with this, but there is nothing to say. Their family's attention at that time may have been to take revenge on the Zhou family for the death of their son.

After listening to his sister's analysis, Haijiao had to admit that he was a little convinced.

After all, the Hou Shizi of Yingchuan has grown so big, and Zhou Shuyi has never had murderous intentions towards him, and it is somewhat strange that he suddenly had the idea of killing people at this time.

The Marquis of Yingchuan doesn't have only one son, he also has another concubine. If Zhou Shuyi pushes his son to inherit the long house on the grounds that he has no son to inherit the title, there is a high probability that he will not succeed. With the emperor's favor and trust in the Marquis of Yingchuan, as long as the Marquis of Yingchuan begged hard, the emperor may not agree to let him pass on the ancestral title to his concubine. It is impossible for him to leave his own flesh and blood without a son, but to pass the son of his stepbrother. And his brother doesn't have that much face, so that the emperor can refuse the request of his confidant.

If Zhou Shuyi didn't want her son to succeed to the long house, then why did she choose to do it to the Hou Shizi of Yingchuan at this time? If she was instigated by the Sun family, everything makes sense.

Only the Sun family would be in a hurry to solve the Hou Shizi of Yingchuan at this time.

As for the reason?

Haijiao muttered: "It is estimated that the princess of King Ji is either dead now, or has some serious illness that cannot be cured, and will die soon." Therefore, the Sun family is anxious to find a candidate who can take over her as the princess. Although the Sun family is not without other girls, who can be more noble than Sun Gelao's granddaughter and Sun Guifei's niece? King Ji is not a fool, it is impossible to marry a girl surnamed Sun casually and come back as a wife. He wanted to restore the status of the prince, but he could not get the support of the emperor and the queen mother, so he could only count on Sun Ge to be old. If he didn't marry Sun Ge Lao's own granddaughter, how could he believe that the Sun family faction would do everything they could to help him? ”

After thinking about it carefully, Haijiao has been completely persuaded by his sister.

After being persuaded, he was stupidly cried by Zhou Shuyi again: "How did she get moved by the Sun family?" Even if it is because the Sun family is powerful, she wants to cling to power, this kind of trick to her mother's family is too stupid! In order to harm her husband's nephew, she dragged her mother's family into the water, and offended her mother's family and her husband's family at the same time, what good end could she have afterwards? Does she think that as long as she helps Sun Ge Lao run an errand, and Sun Ge Lao is willing to support him and his wife, her son will be able to get the position of the Hou Shizi of Yingchuan, right?

"But Sun Ge can have today's scenery, but it is only because of the emperor's favor. The Marquis of Yingchuan is no less than Sun Ge Lao, and the emperor can still force the Marquis of Yingchuan to pass on the title to his nephew for Sun Ge Lao? If the emperor didn't agree, Sun Ge Lao would have no choice, and he would have to risk offending the Marquis of Yingchuan. If he doesn't mind offending the Marquis of Yingchuan, does he still need to instigate Zhou Shuyi to harm others?! ”

Zhou Shuyi couldn't even think about this kind of thing, what did Xiao want to do with the title of the Marquis of Yingchuan? If she was so angry that the son she gave birth to could not get the ancestral title, why did she marry the brother of the Marquis of Yingchuan in the first place? Her husband didn't have a knighthood, wasn't that a fact she knew before she got married?

Hai Jiao couldn't help but go around his sister's room a few times, and scolded "idiot" several times hatefully, but after scolding, he still had to calm himself down and think about how to deal with the crisis brought by Zhou Shuyi's stupid behavior to the northwest.

"You can't let the Marquis of Yingchuan come to the northwest...... he subconsciously said to himself, "Even if he can't stop people, the Zhou family can't arrange him to go to the border town, he has to stay in Chang'an City, the more people in the city are safer, and he has to bring a few more followers when he goes out." As long as he returns to the capital with all his beards, it doesn't matter if he is ruined and breaks the contract, or he turns against his cousins, it has nothing to do with the Zhou family! ”

Seeing this, Haitang had to remind him: "Brother, this kind of thing can't be stopped." If the Marquis of Yingchuan decides to send his son to the northwest for training, how can the Zhou family refuse for no reason? They finally asked Lord Tao Yue for help, and eased the relationship between the queen mother and the emperor, and they would definitely not offend the emperor's henchmen and generals at this time. Besides, you can't convince the Zhou family. Our speculation is just speculation after all, there is no evidence! Even if there is evidence to prove that Zhou Shuyi is uneasy and kind, how can the Zhou family retreat in the face of difficulties? The people in their family must be very confident that they have control over the entire Northwest, right? ”

Haijiao closed his eyes in a headache, and said fiercely: "Since this is the case, then quickly tear up Zhou Shuyi, a fool, from the Zhou family!" Let everyone in the capital know that the Zhou family doesn't want to see this married girl, and she is not a person all the way! When the Hou Shizi of Yingchuan really comes, I will find a way to make friends with him and expose the conspiracy of Sun Ge Lao and Zhou Shuyi. As long as he writes to tell his father and mother about these things, even if he is really killed in the northwest in the future, the Marquis of Yingchuan will know who the real enemy is! ”

Haitang patted his brother on the shoulder and gave him an idea: "Brother, why don't we go and persuade Aunt Zhou first?" Let him find a way to arrange Yingchuan Hou Shizi to Minzhou Wei, how about it? ”

Minzhou Wei?

Haijiao blinked, and immediately reacted: "Minzhou Wei, where Zhou Shicheng is now? ”

Zhou Shicheng, the son of Mrs. Ma, and the brother of Zhou Shuyi. He is the highest-ranking Zhou family member in Minzhou Wei. If the Hou Shizi of Yingchuan was arranged to him, would Zhou Shuyi still be able to do it? Once something happens, it's her brother who is behind the blame!
