Chapter 120
When Qin Sheng came back, his wife had already packed up a small study next to his study. He took a look and saw that the large desk, chairs, bookshelves, ancient bookshelf, imperial concubine's couch, plush blanket, etc. were all placed. The entire study was decorated very comfortably.
Lu Songli was sorting information at the desk. Seeing that Qin Sheng had successfully gotten what she wanted, she smiled at him and said, "Thank you for your hard work. You go change your clothes first. We will go to greet mother in a while." Right? After you say hello, go see Fourth Brother and offer him a stick of incense."
Qin Sheng hummed and glanced at the information on her desk unconsciously.
Qin Sheng paused for a moment, "Are you collecting clues about the Xie and Zhao families?"
After Lu Songli took the information box, she couldn't wait to open it, then took out the information inside and scanned it at a glance. Hearing his question, he casually replied, "Yeah, it's almost done. Throwing out the things in my hand is enough for them to stumble." The kind who might not be able to get up.
"When I left Xue Mansion just now, Xue Huaimin asked me to tell you, be careful with Xie Zhan."
Lu Songli knew as soon as she heard that Xie Zhan had voted for the fourth prince. She had reviewed the review several times before, trying to find out the new think tank around the fourth prince. She always felt that there was something she had subconsciously ignored. After hearing Xue Huaimin's reminder, she realized that she had made a mistake. mistake.
She said that the Xie family and the Zhao family were a little too quiet these days, and she didn't believe Xie Zhan could resist taking advantage of the troubled waters for such a big deal as the prince's death in the north. Presumably the other party also took advantage of this opportunity to prepare for the wedding and did a lot of big things, right?
But it doesn't matter. When she didn't guess this before, she was also on guard against the Xie and Zhao families, and she even prepared big gifts for them.
Qin Sheng looked suspicious of life. He opened his mouth, hesitated for a while, but finally said nothing.
Seeing something wrong with his expression, Lu Songli asked curiously, "What's wrong? If you have anything to say, just say it. We are both husband and wife, and I won't hide anything from you."
"Didn't you and Xie Zhan talk about a truce?" Qin Sheng asked.
Lu Songli understood as soon as she heard it. It turned out that he had overheard the conversation between her and Xie Zhan at Hongsheng Restaurant that day. Yes, when he came over that time, their conversation had come to an end.
Lu Songli couldn't help but laugh when she heard this, and then the more she thought about it, the more funny it became.
Her husband was really simple. Neither she nor Xie Zhan believed in the truce agreement between the two families, but Qin Sheng believed it.
Qin Sheng looked numb. For the first time, he wondered whether his keen senses were a good thing or a bad thing.
Lu Songli suppressed her smile for a while and said to Qin Sheng, "Those who hold power have dirty hearts. Don't believe what they say. The gentleman's covenant made by people like Xie Zhan has no binding force on him. Whoever believes it Silly. Of course, it has no binding force on me."
Qin Sheng: I bet he is just that fool.
"If you are like this, why does Xue Huaimin believe you?"
"What am I like? Xie Zhan has already taken action, but I haven't done anything yet. Your questioning attitude is very good, but if you do this next time, don't say anything." Lu Songli couldn't help but stretched out her hand and pinched him s face,
"As for Xue Huaimin, he has to believe that he has been busy for so many years and finally made a wedding dress for others. Do you think he can really swallow that? As for his concubine and illegitimate son in Xinghua Hutong, I have asked people to move them away. ”
It turns out that his wife and concubine lived in Xinghua Hutong. Qin Sheng couldn't explain what it felt like. The Xue family's legitimate son and daughter suffered disaster because of him, but the concubine escaped because of his protection. He still had money and could live comfortably. .
"So don't worry, in fact, I have always been a person who keeps my promises." Lu Songli told him seriously.
Qin Sheng:......
After Qin Sheng finished packing, the two of them went to pay their respects to Mrs. Qin. At this time, Qin Heng, Qin Sanlang and his wife were both there.
As the new daughter-in-law, Lu Songli served tea one by one and changed her tune.
They all drank the tea she served, and then each gave a gift in return.
At this point, the wedding procedures are all completed.
Then, Mrs. Qin left them to have breakfast together in the main courtyard.
At this moment, the concierge came to report that the master of the Lu family and the second young master of the Lu family had come to the door.
Naturally, Mrs. Qin quickly asked someone to invite him in.
Qin Heng took a look at the sky and estimated that Lu Desheng, his biological uncle, would come directly to the Qin family as soon as the court came.
Lu Desheng felt that it was not good to go to the house alone, so he brought his youngest son with him.
When Lu Desheng came to visit, Mrs. Qin and Qin Heng both chatted with him for a while, and then asked Qin Sheng, Lu Songli and his wife to take Lu Desheng and his son back to their yard.
Lu Songli led people directly to her study.
As soon as he sat down, Lu Desheng looked at Qin Sheng and his youngest son.
Before he could speak, Lu Songli asked, "Dad, did something happen?"
Lu Desheng understood that her daughter meant to let these two boys stay here. He thought about it and realized that both of them were tight-lipped, so he no longer thought about clearing the place.
"Daughter, let me tell you, this morning..." Lu Desheng told his daughter about the matter.
Qin Sheng pursed his lips tightly when he heard the people in the court clamoring for his father to hold the Qin family responsible.
Lu Mingzhi felt suffocated when he heard his father talking about the Queen Mother blocking him from seeing the emperor. Oh my God, the Queen Mother didn't like the Lu family. The fourth prince wanted to kill the Qin family, but the emperor wanted to see his father. , but isn’t he about to die? In the end, the new emperor and the noble empress dowager were left. Neither of them had a good impression of the two families and felt that their future was not bright no matter how they thought about it.
"Dad, don't panic, I happened to find something interesting. I'll get it for you." Lu Songli took out one of the documents and handed it to her father.
Lu Desheng looked at it and said happily, "Is this true?"
Lu Songli nodded, "It's absolutely true."
Lu Mingzhi put his head over to take a look, but Lu Desheng stretched out his hand and pushed him away in disgust. He said happily, "Okay, okay, with this, that person can't even think about getting a favor."
After saying that, he stood up and said, "Daughter, I'm leaving first. This matter should be made sooner rather than later. I'll make arrangements as soon as possible!"
Lu Songli felt the same way, so she stood up to see him off.
After Lu Desheng said hello to Qin Sheng, he dragged his son away in a hurry.
"What information did you give your father-in-law?" Qin Sheng was confused.
Lu Songli whispered a few words, and Qin Sheng looked surprised, "Xue Huaimin still has such a handle?"
Lu Songli smiled lightly and said nothing. The elixir that Emperor Kang Cheng took was actually related to the Queen Mother's natal brother. Xue Huaimin held this information to guard against the Queen Mother. In his plan, if the fourth prince's accession to the throne was blocked after Emperor Kang Cheng's death, he would use it to negotiate terms with the Queen Mother. Lu Songli is now more advantageous.
She had already guessed that Xue Huaimin must have some unknown trump cards. If she were Xie Zhan, when she decided to pick peaches, as soon as Xue Huaimin was exposed to the emperor, she would first find a way to coax the things out of Xue Huaimin's hands, and then kill Xue Huaimin. Anyway, what the emperor wanted was for Xue Huaimin to die. Even if he died unexpectedly, the emperor would not hold him accountable.
Therefore, Xie Zhan still missed a beat. He probably felt that his plan was perfect.
She couldn't save the people the emperor decided to take away, such as her father-in-law Qin Yue, but she could send a few more people to the emperor for him to take away, and she could still do it.
