Song Jingchen said, “I thought you saw it.”
“See what?”!!
“The note. I put it on your dresser.”
Shen Yijia blinked and stood up to return to her room to look for it, but Song Jingchen stopped her.
He said, “She asked me if the Yuan family would be implicated if Shangguan Pu failed. ”
Shen Yijia paused.
“I told her that the Yuan family has been very close to the Prime Minister’s residence recently.”
The reason why the Yuan family wanted to marry Yuan Yuwan to Earl Rong back then was undoubtedly because they wanted to use the relationship between Earl Rong’s residence and the Prime Minister’s residence to get into Lord Jing’s faction.
Later on, Yuan Yuwan’s marriage with the Xiao family went on as usual. The Yuan family even lost another legitimate daughter because of this, so they naturally cherished this opportunity even more.
Now that the Yuan Family was following Lord Jing’s lead, it was not difficult to implicate them.
Back then, they had only found some so-called evidence in the crown prince’s palace. Any official who was close to the Eastern Palace would be exiled and beheaded. It was obvious what would happen to the Yuan family.
Shen Yijia vaguely guessed something and widened her eyes. “She…”
Song Jingchen flicked her forehead in amusement. “She’s much smarter than you think.”
She was much more heartless, too.
Actually, Yuan Yuwan could completely make Earl Rong’s residence hate the Yuan family after ensuring her marriage, cutting off the possibility of the Yuan family clinging to the Prime Minister’s residence.
Perhaps Old Master Yuan would find it difficult in the bureaucracy because of this.
However, at least she wouldn’t give them a chance to participate in the intermediate contest for the throne. However, she didn’t do that. Instead…
Song Jingchen didn’t say the last sentence. After all, Yuan Yuwan didn’t have any ill intentions towards Shen Yijia.
The most disgusting thing in the world was not those who had committed heinous crimes, but those who knew that they were evil but could not bring them to justice.
Take the Yuan family for example. They were timid and did not dare to make a big mistake, but they were lecherous. If they took a fancy to a commoner woman, they would threaten and lure her family to sign a concubine contract and bring her into the residence.
There was no way to pursue this matter according to the law.
Therefore, in Song Jingchen’s opinion, the Yuan family without Cabinet Elder Yuan was a parasite in Great Xia’s bureaucracy. Even if they didn’t end up well, they deserved it.
“So, Eldest Young Master Xiao…”
Before he could finish, Thirty Thousand reported that Xiao Qirui had arrived. Shen Yijia pursed her lips. “What was he doing earlier?”
Xiao Qirui followed Thirty Thousand in. Compared to yesterday, he looked a little worse.
He had not been recuperating well these past few days. Needless to say, his face was pale. He was even unshaven today.
Shen Yijia blinked. Previously, every time he came, Xiao Qirui would at least tidy up. Had he suffered a blow?
“Sister Yuwan has already gone to rest.”
Without waiting for him to speak, Shen Yijia used her previous excuse. Xiao Qirui paused and pursed his lips. “I’m here to look for Ah Chen today.” “Ah Chen? Who allowed you to call him that?” she thought.
Shen Yijia was about to retort when a hand suddenly covered her mouth. Song Jingchen said, “Sit down and talk.”
Shen Yijia’s eyes widened. “Do you want to sleep in the study today?” she thought.
Song Jingchen rubbed her head and coaxed her in amusement, “Go and tell
Mother that we’re having roasted meat tonight.” Shen Yijia’s eyes lit up. “You’re going to roast it?”
“Yes, I’ll roast it.”
Shen Yijia turned around and left. Halfway through, she turned around and glared at Xiao Qirui.
Song Jingchen smiled and personally poured a cup of tea before pushing it in front of Xiao Qirui. “Brother Xiao, sit.”
Xiao Qirui sat down opposite him. “Do you have wine?”
Song Jingchen was stunned. He glanced at him and asked Thirty Thousand to bring in two jars of wine.
Song Jingchen picked up a jar, removed the seal, and prepared to pour the wine.
Xiao Qirui picked up another jar and drank it.
Song Jingchen was silent for a moment before waving Thirty Thousand off. He said helplessly, “You’re injured. You should drink less.”
Actually, he did not understand why Xiao Qirui would come to drink with him. After all, the two of them had different circles and were not too familiar with each other.
Xiao Qirui acted as if he did not hear him. After drinking half a jar of wine, he wiped his mouth with his sleeve. “You knew long ago, right?” “If you’re talking about that Feng person, I did suspect something before.”
Xiao Qirui smiled foolishly. “So I’m really the only fool.”
He only found out yesterday that the Xiao family’s commander’s seal had been lost. In the end, it was found on Feng Manman, and the person who stole it was Mrs. Qiao, who had been lured by her.
Mrs. Qiao thought that she was favored. It was just that General Xiao valued the rules very much. A wife was a wife, and a concubine was a concubine. That was why he didn’t let her participate in anything.
Therefore, it was useless for her to rely on that bit of favor to have a true say in the Xiao family..
