Chapter 811 The Bold Duke Xingguo

After Shao Jing, Duke of Xingguo, returned to the mansion, he was hurriedly called back by the Madam. As soon as he entered the house, the Madam asked with a livid face: "Do you know how much of Princess Qinghua's dowry the Jiang family has taken away?"

"Mother, I don't know about this kind of thing!" Shao Jing frowned. The matters in the inner courtyard were all decided by Mrs. Jiang, the Duke of Xingguo. He had never cared about this in the past.

"Ms. Jiang was a little too courageous. She actually removed more than half of it. Did she really think that these were all hers?" The madam was so angry that her eyebrows stood up. She knew that Mr. Jiang had taken away Qinghua. In fact, not only Jiang took some of the princess's things, but she also took them.

Whatever Mrs. Jiang brought over, she would be filial to her. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law understood it quite well. She didn't ask, and Mr. Jiang didn't say anything.

What Mrs. Tai didn't expect was that Jiang actually deceived her superiors and took away most of it without telling her. It was in vain that she was usually cautious when talking about the eldest princess Ruian.

He also hinted that with Princess Ruian's presence, Princess Qinghua's things could only be taken away slowly, but not too much, otherwise the future would not be guaranteed. Princess Ruian wanted to check Princess Qinghua's dowry.

Unexpectedly, Jiang was so courageous and wanted to hide it from herself. The veins on the madam's angry forehead were all popping up. Now that these things are taken out, the eldest princess Ruian will never give up.

"More than half is missing?" Shao Jing also took a deep breath. He didn't expect Jiang to be so courageous. "Have you checked whether anything is missing?"

"I checked, and there is a lot missing. I asked the servants in your wife's house before, and they said that some of them were given away, and some were burned when they were decorating the Hua'an courtyard. The remaining ones fell into your wife's hands. There are some in my own, and she didn’t say they were from Princess Qinghua when she sent them here before.”

The madam frowned and blamed everything on Mr. Jiang.

"Mother, first collect what you can in the mansion. If you can't collect everything, use money to repair it. After so many years, some things have been damaged. When Princess Qinghua first married in, she also They gave away some, so we can’t be blamed entirely!” Shao Jing said decisively.

The madam is very worried, and it seems that this is the only way she can do it now, but after checking just now, even if she wants to make up for some things, she can't make up for it.

"Princess Qinghua's dowry contains some items that are registered as palace artifacts."

"It is also possible for the palace buildings to be burned. The courtyard where the fifth niece lived was said to have been decorated early. I originally thought it was the eldest lady of the Qin family, but later found out that it was not, and the decoration inside was burned down later. There's nothing we can do about it!" Shao Jing thought for a moment.

The courtyard was extremely beautifully decorated, and Mrs. Jiang once took him to see it. It could be said to be the most gorgeous courtyard in the entire mansion. After it was burned down, it was no wonder that Mrs. Jiang became so distressed that she became ill. Now she has put some There is a reason why the palace-made objects were burned there.

On the day the fire started, many people were seen in the capital.

"Then let's do it!" The madam had a headache and stretched out her hand to rub her eyebrows, "I will stick some in here. All the things Jiang sent in the past will be returned, but there are some things that Jiang needs to make up for himself. After all, the original fault must have been hers, so her dowry should be fully subsidized!"

"Mother, there are Ru'er and Hua An!" Shao Jing was not satisfied and reminded that Jiang's things are actually their children's things.

"Now that Ru'er has entered the palace, it won't be any better. As for Hua An... you can give him some support. Originally, the Jiang family's dowry was not much, and it was left to Ru'er before." Mrs. Tai said with a solemn face, Originally, she had placed all her hopes on Shao Yanru, but now she had no hope, and she felt very bad whenever she mentioned Shao Yanru.

The greater the hope before, the greater the disappointment now.

"Mother, Ru'er is not without a chance. She is in that lonely place now, maybe it will be better!" Shao Jing said implicitly, "She was not really with the emperor before!"

"Is it possible that you still don't give up?" Mrs. Tai stared at Shao Jing in surprise.

Shao Jing stood up and looked at Aunt Yu cautiously. The only outsider in the room was Aunt Yu. Aunt Yu knew the opportunity and walked out from behind Mrs. Yu, walked to the door, closed it slightly, and stood up for her. They guard the door.

The sound in the room was so low that she couldn't hear it clearly even if she was right at the door. She could only hear what the Duke was saying to his wife inside.

Aunt Yu sighed in her heart. She had actually figured it out just now. She didn't want to know what the Madam Tai and the Duke were talking about.

If it were an ordinary secret matter, Mrs. Tai would not avoid her, but it was obviously very important. The important Duke did not want other people to hear about it. Even though he was the confidant of Mrs. Tai, the Duke also avoided her. Myself, the cold gaze of the Duke just now said everything.

This reminded Aunt Yu of the last time the Duke showed such an expression and stayed in the house to talk to the Dowager Madam. It must have been more than ten years!

After that, news came that something happened to the prince, and then Princess Qinghua came back, but she was already half crazy and half crazy. Thinking of this, Grandma Yu felt an inexplicable tremor in her heart, and she hurriedly stepped back a few steps to ensure that she could listen. There were no voices in the room. She was just a servant. Even if she was favored by the wife, she was just a servant. Of course, she couldn't hear too much or know too much.

Inside the room, Shao Jing leaned towards the Madam and lowered his voice and said, "Mother, since Ru'er has nothing to do with the Emperor, then maybe there will be an opportunity in the future!"

The meaning of these words was clearer than what he had just said. Madam Tai was dumbfounded and looked at him in astonishment, her lips trembling twice immediately.

If such words spread, it will harm the entire Xingguo Palace.

"What nonsense are you talking about!" the madam calmed down the fear in her heart and scolded.

"Mother, I'm not talking nonsense. Do you think that both King Zhou and King Yue treat Ru'er well? Although some things happened before that made them unhappy, this idea will be eliminated after a while. Ru'er is now here The worse things are in the palace, the more they will care about her, and no matter who they are in the future, they will have more pity for Ruer."

Shao Jing made a bold assumption. This idea made the wife tremble all over and said in a trembling voice: "Second brother, you... you are going to be beheaded for what you said!"

"Mother, I'll tell you what's the matter in the house. You raised Ru'er with your own hands. You spent so much effort and you can't just let it go." Shao Jing said disapprovingly, "Mother, I'm here We have already made plans, as long as Ru'er stays in the palace peacefully, there is still a chance!"

Shao Jing did not tell anyone about King Cheng, including his wife.

As for the next step, he secretly sent people to discuss with Shao Yanru. He would not let go of this daughter. Apart from this daughter, he could not find anyone else that he wanted.

"But she is the emperor's concubine!" The wife turned pale with shock and said naa. Shao Jing's words made her heart move. She was indeed the one who taught Shao Yanru and gave her great hope to prepare for her mother's ceremony. The granddaughter of the world was now so useless, and she felt heartbroken.

"Mother, why are you anxious? As long as the new emperor likes Ru'er and Ru'er has an innocent body, then why worry about other things? Ru'er has always been a smart person and knows what to ask for at that time. Even if the new emperor There is no way to clear her name, she can also enter the palace with other identities, and it is also okay to enter the palace as the daughter of a side branch of our family!"

Shao Jing's mind was spinning very quickly, and after just a moment's thought, he had an idea.

It's just that this idea is too bold. It not only plots against the current emperor, but also plots against the new emperor in the future. The madam couldn't hold it in anymore, her cheeks trembled twice, "You... do you think it's possible?"

In fact, Mrs. Tai is already moved. If she really enters the palace as the daughter of a side branch of Duke Xingguo, she can also use the surname Shao, and it doesn't matter even if she looks a bit similar. She can stay in the cold palace for several years without seeing anyone. Once again, They said they were sisters from the same branch, and because they were dressed differently, no one thought they were Ru'er.

As long as the emperor's protection is available, nothing will happen.

"Of course it is possible. Don't worry, mother. King Yue and King Zhou are still very polite to me now. They must have thought of this." Shao Jing said with confidence.

"Okay... That's up to you, but you have to be careful now!" Mrs. Tai still felt a little worried and warned.

"Don't worry, mother, I know. I will find a way to send a message to Ru'er, asking her to stay in the palace peacefully, and never go to the emperor. Just be the smallest and lowest Baolin. Not bad, but she is not recruiting anyone. Eyes don't make people hate her, they only make people feel pity and sympathy. No matter how angry they are, if she looks so pitiful, they will let her go!"

Shao Jing said that the reason why he was so sure was because of the information Shao Yanru gave him before, repeatedly stating that King Yue and His Highness King Zhou were devoted to her and wanted to marry her.

After the previous fight between King Zhou and King Yue, they saw that Shao Jing's face was not his face, his nose was not his nose, and he was no longer as enthusiastic as before. After that, Shao Yanru stayed in the palace, and the two princes didn't even pay attention to him. Shao Jing made Shao Jing go through a difficult time in court.

Fortunately, the two princes came around again in the past two days and returned to their previous enthusiasm for him. I think it was because they had figured it out, which made Shao Jing very happy.

Misfortune lies where blessing lies, and blessing lies where misfortune lies!

After understanding this, Shao Jing felt less depressed, but he still looked anxious in front of outsiders, waiting for the opportunity to come.

The mother and son agreed that Shao Jing would continue to pay attention to Shao Yanru's affairs in the palace and find ways to pass on the news for later use. In the palace, the concubine would deal with the eldest princess Ruian. The one who tried his best to put this matter to bed was sorted out.

Three days came quickly. Princess Ruian entered the Duke Xingguo's mansion early in the morning and met the Dowager Dowager who looked much calmer.

One of the two people got the trick from their granddaughter, and the other got the trick from their son. They both felt that they could definitely defeat the other. They took a calm sip of tea together, then looked at each other with a cold smile, and let it go!

You have a bridge ladder, I have a good plan!
