Chapter 250 Thinking again and again, there is no one in the court

"Thank you, Miss Xia. I and my wife have already made plans. After this incident is over, we are going to retire and return home to stay away from the troubles in the court. I believe the emperor will be happy to see it happen."

The royal family was most afraid of losing face. Although the emperor ordered that this matter not be spread, the best way to cover up the scandal was to silence. Only dead people cannot speak.

Xia Tan'er gave Sun Shangshu a serious look and spoke with some hesitation to remind Sun Shangshu.

"It's really good to retire and return to your hometown to take care of your old age. It would be great if Sun Shangshu and his wife could stay in peace like this until their old age."

"What does Miss Xia mean?"

Sun Shangshu has also been hanging out in places like the court for so many years, so why can't he hear the truth in Xia Tan'er's words.

"Sun Shangshu is in his prime, it is a pity to retire too early. Moreover, the post of Shangshu is not the end of your official position, Sun Shangshu. People in the officialdom always hope that they can climb as high as possible. It is best to be so high that even the emperor can't take you. method."

To be honest, Xia Tan'er is currently short of people in the court. Her father's current position as prime minister is just a decoration and has no real power. Support yourself.

In this way, the imperial power would be monopolized, which would be extremely detrimental to aristocratic families like theirs.

Since you want to persuade Sun Shangshu to stay and continue to be an official, why not win him over completely to your side. After these incidents, Xia Tan'er clearly and thoroughly realized that it was useless to rely on men. Only by controlling everything in her own hands would she be able to be arrogant.

Xia Tan'er glanced at Xue Yan, and Xue Yan immediately understood and started to help and persuade.

"What Miss Xia said is not unreasonable. Mr. Sun, the emperor is a suspicious person. He may not know what he will do to you and Mrs. Sun in the future. But if you and Mrs. Sun are still in the officialdom, the emperor will not dare to know. Then send someone to attack you."

"Miss Xia is indeed thoughtful. Mr. Sun, you should also think about it carefully."

Sun Shangshu looked at Xia Tan'er who looked sincere and couldn't help but fell into deep thought. It is true that he no longer wants to be an official after his great revenge, but Xia Tan'er's words are indeed true.

"This matter... let me think about it again. I will discuss it with my wife after I go back."

Sun Shangshu had this plan, and Xia Tan'er and Xue Yan felt relieved. After the three of them had lunch, Xia Tan'er and Xue Yan took a carriage to the other courtyard.

Sensing the coldness around Dong Ling Jiu, no one in the Nine Princes' Mansion dared to make a mistake. They even walked with their footsteps suppressed and did not dare to make the slightest sound to make Dong Ling Jiu angry.

But this was troublesome for Feng Muchi. He couldn't calm down while reading a book, but how could he bear it now that it was so quiet outside that people couldn't even make a sound.

He was about to rush out to find Dongling Jiu.

"Young Master, please go back to your room and continue studying."

"I have been here for so long without even leaving the door. Dong Lingjiu must have put this young master under house arrest on purpose. I want to tell Tan'er and ask Tan'er to rescue me!"

He didn't take action against these people because he owed Dong Lingjiu a favor, but it was too much to not let him out all the time. He would have to take a dog out for a walk, not to mention his wild nature. The person who got it.

Seeing that these people didn't care at all, Feng Muchi narrowed his eyes and immediately started making a fuss.

"Donglunjiu, come out! If you don't come out, I will smash your Jiuwang Mansion!"
