How could Hong Peiju not hear the threat in Yin Hong's words?
Hong Peiju knew that if she never handed over these prescriptions, if someone else got there first, she would not be able to get any benefits in the end.
At that time, if the emperor became angry, he would naturally find a place to vent his anger.
At this time, several forces will tacitly introduce a "scapegoat", and at this time, Chen Zhuoxin, who is the best at leveraging force, will hand him over.
As for the evidence, not to mention that there is evidence of "using poison" in the Huai'an Marquis' Mansion. Even if there is no evidence, with Chen Zhuoxin's ability to come and go, there is nothing he can do to arrange for some evidence to be placed in his Huai'an Marquis' Mansion.
However, how could Hong Peiju be willing to surrender his decades of hard work?
Seeing Hong Peiju's silence, Yin Hong knew that he was shaken. After all, Hong Peiju was very cunning, and it would be impossible to make Hong Peiju submit with just a few words, so he had to give him some sweeteners.
Yin Hong thought of Chen Zhuoxin's instructions, so he was not impatient.
No matter how cunning a fox is, can he still outfight a good hunter?
Over the years, Hong Peiju has secretly played tricks on Chen Zhuoxin, but didn't the Duke of China always resolve them easily?
For example, that idiot Hong Xianglin!
To this day, Hong Peiju still thinks that he is the son of the Duke of Guo!
Therefore, Hong Xianglin was tortured to the point where he was no longer a human being, a ghost or a ghost, and Hong Peiju did not feel sorry for him.
Hong Peiju thought that Chen Guogong was distressed and could not bear it. What a joke!
What does your torture of your own son have to do with the Duke?
Yin Hong pulled the chair and sat in front of Hong Peiju. His tone softened a little and he said to Hong Peiju,
"Master Hou, in fact, everyone is trying their best to attack the Ji family girl. Now it's just about who comes out on top and who moves faster. If we are one step ahead of others, Master Hou, you have done a great job, so why not?" Why? And you are holding these things in your hands now. If you don’t have the support of the Duke to help you deal with the Ji family girl, now, you can’t even do anything if Miss Baochang goes to Danguiyuan. You Do you think your medicine can be used smoothly on Ji Min or Ji Jun? Without the help of the Duke, these things of yours will be like waste paper!",
Hong Peiju knew that what Yin Hong said was right, and now everyone was more or less staring at Ji Min.
However, everyone also wants to wait for the other party to take action, and then they will reap the benefits.
In addition, the matter is not urgent enough. So no one wants to be the first to be a rafter.
Furthermore, the battle for "Crown Prince" is not very fierce now. The assassination of the third prince, even though it was a big event, quickly disappeared.
Everyone thought that the emperor only favored the third prince because his mother, Concubine Zhang, was deeply favored by the emperor, and the third prince himself was not the emperor's favorite candidate.
Therefore, after the assassination of the third prince, many ministers in the court no longer viewed the third prince favorably.
The fourth prince is the son of Concubine Han De, and his maternal grandfather's family also has certain influence, so he seems to have a better chance of winning.
As a result, such a big thing as the Qiu Wei Examination was assigned to the fifth prince!
Hong Peiju couldn't understand. In fact, Hong Peiju thought, so did everyone else.
Therefore, all parties currently want to "stop with static".
And with their current status, no matter which of the several princes becomes the crown prince, it will not shake their current status. Why take this risk?
But Concubine Jiao Xian and Chen Zhuoxin are different. Like Hong Peiju, neither of them wants to be content with the status quo, and they both want to reach a position below one person and above tens of thousands of people!
So it is necessary for them to fight and gamble!
Yin Hong leaned close to Hong Peiju's ear and whispered a few words, and Hong Peiju fell into deep thought.
Hong Xianglin took in two aunts, one surnamed Yin and the other surnamed Wang, in order to celebrate Su Jin.
It is said that after Hong Xianglin married his two aunts, he became much quieter. Every day I eat, drink and have fun with my two aunts in Kejiju. But she didn't care at all how Su Jin was tortured by Mei Lin.
It is said that Hong Xianglin's Aunt Yin had a gentle temperament and beautiful appearance. Aunt Wang is more arrogant and domineering.
Haitang and others also heard that those who had met the two aunts said that Aunt Yin's appearance was better than that of Aunt Wang, and she had a better temperament and a better background.
But Hong Xianglin seemed to like Aunt Wang more. Therefore, in Kejijuli, Aunt Wang often bullied Aunt Yin, and even beat and scolded Aunt Yin when Hong Xianglin was away.
Aunt Yin's family was relatively well off, but it was said that her father and brother owed a lot of debt due to gambling, so they had to sell Aunt Yin to the Hou Mansion as a concubine.
Aunt Wang and her parents both worked as slaves in a wealthy family in the capital.
Aunt Wang's parents were already old and frail, and they had both fallen seriously ill recently and were unable to continue working. They happened to hear that Hong Xianglin wanted to take a concubine, so they sent their daughter to choose.
Somehow, Hong Xianglin fell in love with Aunt Wang at the first sight and bought her back.
Ji Jun and Ji Min don't care about these gossips either. He didn't even care what happened to Hong Xianglin. As long as they were in peace and didn't come to trouble him, he would never take the initiative to provoke Hong Xianglin.
I just felt that Hong Xianglin kept saying that it was for Su Jin's happiness, but Su Jin was being raped every day, while Hong Xianglin only cared about enjoying himself with his aunts. Thinking about it, he found this matter extremely ridiculous and funny.
But this is a matter between mother and son. Maybe Su Jin is happy with it, but who can take care of it?
Because the dogs trained by Ji Jun intimidated Chen Zhuoxin's people, Chen Zhuoxin gave up his thoughts of robbing people for a while and did not attack Danguiyuan again.
Despite this, Ji Jun did not relax his vigilance. On weekdays, except for visiting "Good Neighbors", whenever they returned to the Hou Mansion, Ji Jun and Ji Nian would not leave their homes in Dangui Garden.
But some entertainment is still necessary.
On this day, Ji Jun and Ji Min went to pay respects to the Yang family, and met Aunt Yin on the way back.
Previously, I met Hong Xianglin's two aunts at Yang's place.
Aunt Yin is dressed in a light pink outfit, and she looks pretty and delicate. Her pretty eyes always seem to be filled with drops of water, as if they are about to fall off anytime and anywhere.
After seeing Ji Jun, Aunt Yin hurriedly stepped forward to give Ji Jun a deep blessing.
Ji Jun and Ji Min hurriedly avoided it. Hong Xianglin was now their nominal brother. His aunt gave him such a great gift. Although the two of them deserved it, there was no need for it after all.
Aunt Yin said with a choked voice,
"I sincerely ask the two young ladies to show me a clear path and save me."
Ji Jun and Ji Min looked at each other, confused.
I saw that Aunt Yin still maintained a happy posture, and she was about to cry and said,
"You two ladies, I have no choice but to take on my concubine. You two must have heard that I entered the Marquis Mansion to pay off the debts of my father and brother, and made me a concubine for Young Master Xiang Lin. Since I am a concubine, I also want to serve Master Xianglin wholeheartedly. However, Aunt Wang cannot tolerate me, and the young master is confused by him. He and Aunt Wang beat and scold me all day long, and I really can't stand it any longer. Concubine I heard that the two young ladies are not ordinary boudoir girls. They are talented, courageous and strategic. Please give me some advice and tell me what I should do to get rid of this life that is worse than death!"
Ji Jun was confused by Aunt Yin's words for a moment, and felt very unexpected and confused by Aunt Yin's actions.
I only heard that if there is a conflict between the daughter-in-law and the grandmother-in-law, she should complain to her mother-in-law and ask her for justice.
I have never heard of anyone’s concubine asking for help from her sister-in-law, let alone these two “sister-in-laws” who live as guests!
A capable person like Xue Baochai in Dream of Red Mansions was helpless when he saw Xiang Ling being bullied by Xia Jingui, Xue Pan and Bao Chan.
What ability do I have to reach out to Kejijuli?
It was an accident that he was able to save Bao Chang to Danguiyuan, and it was an emergency, but it was not easy.
Also, Bao Chang is valuable to Yi Er and himself, which is completely different from Aunt Yin's situation.
Such an aunt suddenly appeared for help, which really left Ji Jun speechless.
When Aunt Yin saw that the two sisters were silent, disappointment and sadness flashed in her eyes, which seemed to be expected. She continued to say sadly,
"Two ladies, I know that I am not related to the two ladies, and you two really have no obligation to save me. I would like to ask the two ladies to show mercy. Saving one life is better than building a seven-level pagoda. Just think that I am two young ladies who met a beggar and a person in distress on the roadside. The two young ladies rescued me at short notice, and you two's efforts to save me will not affect the two young ladies at all."
Haitang was about to step forward when he was pulled back by Ji Jun.
Shaoyao couldn't help but said,
"You are so unreasonable, my aunt! Leave my wife, the aunt of Master Xiang Lin, and the whole yard of Master Xiang Lin's sisters and sisters to come and beg our young lady. Our young lady doesn't owe you anything!"
Shaoyao's words were too straightforward and a bit hurtful, but Ji Jun didn't scold him.
Because that's what she thought in her heart.
When Aunt Yin heard this, her tears flowed down, and a few drops fell to the ground. It didn't seem like she was pretending.
"What I'm trying to teach you is this. It's fate that I can meet these two ladies in this courtyard. I would like to ask the two ladies to lend a little helping hand. I'm very grateful."
After saying this, Aunt Yin knelt down straight.
Ji Jun and Ji Min were slightly surprised by Aunt Yin's kneeling, but they were not the kind of little girls who were inexperienced in the world and indulged in the Virgin's heart.
Neither of them moved. Haitang hesitated for a moment and couldn't bear it. Furthermore, if outsiders saw Hong Xianglin's aunt kneeling down to her own lady, she might think that her own lady was arrogant and forced her to kneel down, which would ruin her reputation. not good.
Haitang wanted to step forward to help, but seeing that her young lady didn't say anything, she didn't extend her hand.
The two of them were determined, but they were rapidly thinking of many possibilities in their minds.
Ji Jun thought, could it be a beauty trap? Can't? This is of no use to you!
Ji Min thought, could it be a cruel trick? But what's the point of this cruel trick?
Or is it just a request for help without any reason, a moral coercion?
