No wonder Sheng Lanci and his wife were dissatisfied with the Zhao family, and Ms. Feng even showed a mean look: Mrs. Sheng was obsessed with wanting to severely injure Ruru, and took the initiative to betray Sheng Weiqiao and his wife, as well as Xuan Yu, Ms. Feng, which was certainly the introduction to the matter.
But as important officials in the court, the Zhao family has been deeply indebted to the emperor and has been supported by the state for several generations. Instead of being as generous as Mr. Xuesheng, they instead added insult to injury and took this opportunity to try to replace Sheng Weiqiao with Zhao Taomei!
Although the Sheng family did not have any actual evidence on this matter, Sheng Lanci and his wife were shrewd and knew it well by making insinuations.
As for the situation of the Zhao family, it is not difficult to find out: Mr. Zhao died young. He and Mrs. Qin had two sons and one daughter. Their daughter, Princess Gaomi, had been ill for many years and had no interest in political affairs at all; the eldest son Zhao Shiren was in northern Xinjiang. Even if his son was involved, he probably wouldn't be the mastermind because of the distance from Chang'an; the second son Zhao Qiu is in Chang'an, but according to Mr. Feng's personal observation and inquiry, Zhao Qiu is very filial and has a soft temperament. Inside, the one who really makes the final decision on major matters is probably Mrs. Qin!
In addition, before Sheng Weiqiao married Rong Suihe, it was Mrs. Qin and Princess Gaomi who tried to bring Zhao Taoyi and Rong Suihe together. To be precise, it was Mrs. Qin who persuaded Princess Gaomi to do this!
Sheng Lanci and his wife even suspected that Mrs. Qin might be the instigator behind Princess Gaomi's dissatisfaction with Sheng Weiqiao, her daughter-in-law!
Otherwise, even if the mother-in-law has no love for her daughter-in-law, she has raised Rong Suihe for two years in the Sheng family and treats him as if she has devoted all her efforts to cultivate him. If Princess Gaomi still has some conscience, shouldn't she treat Sheng Weiqiao? To reciprocate love and favor him extraordinarily
Eighty percent of the reason is that Mrs. Qin was unwilling to let Rong Suihe fail to be the son-in-law of the Zhao family, so she took advantage of her mother-daughter relationship with Princess Gaomi to interfere with it!
At this moment, when she heard that Sheng Weiqiao was taking Gongsun Xi to Zhao's house for a blind date, she frowned. Feng waved her hands to ask everyone to step aside, and approached her daughter: "I said you are really stupid! Ah Xi is Mi Zhen's most important confidant. You win him over and say you want to recognize him as your adoptive brother! Now you actually want to find a sister-in-law from the Zhao family. Isn't this deliberately causing trouble for yourself? "
Sheng Lanci added: "It turns out that Miss Zhao San, as Mi Zhen's cousin, has a close relationship with Mi Zhen! If she becomes a sister-in-law with you again and gets closer and closer, who knows what will happen in the future? In the end, Mi Zhen You also know Zhen’s future. The royal family has never been in chaos since ancient times. In the past, there were no daughters-in-law or sisters-in-law who could not enter the palace! As Mi Zhen’s wife, how could you not be so vigilant? ?”
In fact, after Sheng Weiqiao learned about Mrs. Sheng's original plan and what the Zhao family did in it, her impression of the Zhao family changed drastically. However, this matter had been decided a long time ago.
Moreover, when she was in Northern Xinjiang, Zhao Shi still treated her as his nephew-in-law despite various interests.
Now that he is back in Chang'an, he has turned against his uncle after using him... Sheng Weiqiao couldn't do such a thing, so he said: "This marriage was decided in Northern Xinjiang before. Now it was Mi Zhen who asked me to take care of him. Ah Xi came over, if I just stopped him..."
Feng didn't wait for her to finish her words and said, "Why are you trying to stop me?! Do you need to step forward on your own? Is your father and I just a show off?!"
He got up immediately and wanted to go with Sheng Lanci to talk to Rong Suihe.
Sheng Weiqiao said hurriedly: "The only one Mi Zhen directly controls now is the Western Xinjiang Army. The Northern Xinjiang Army still needs the help of my uncle to look after it. If he regrets the marriage, it won't be good for him, right?"
"Are you used to treating your elders as decorations?" Feng laughed angrily, turned around and asked her, "Do you think your Uncle Xu Shi is too old to mount a horse or lift a gun, or do you think you Xu Shishu has been very happy as a marquis in the court these years, and he doesn’t want to go back to the army at all?!"
Compared with Zhao Shi, the Huaihua general who came to power with the support of King Gaomi, and Xu Zijing, who was squeezed out from the Northern Xinjiang Army because he did not have a strong backing, he is a real commander, okay? !
Moreover, Sheng Weiqiao's words just reminded Sheng Lanci and his wife: if they take advantage of this incident to persuade Rong Suihe to prevent the marriage between Gongsun Xi and Zhao Taoyi, and then drive Zhao Shi out of the Northern Xinjiang Army and replace him with Xu Zijing... not only In return for the Xu family's heartfelt devotion to the Sheng family in the past two years, wouldn't it also give Sheng Weiqiao an additional bargaining chip
After all, the current status of the Sheng family is quite different from that of Rong Shuihe.
At this moment, Rong Suihe and Sheng Weiqiao are still newlyweds. They don't care about it. They are busy with business and have no time to flirt with women. Their achievements are already accomplished. Sheng Weiqiao's background cannot suppress the situation. God knows how many disturbances there will be.
It's just that the Sheng family really doesn't have any talented people at the moment. Even if Sheng Lanci abandons the family business and enters the political arena now, he won't be able to achieve power in a short while.
On the other hand, Xu Zijing, with his qualifications as the former commander-in-chief of the Northern Xinjiang Army, once again took charge of the army, it was natural for him to do his best!
Three generations of the Sheng family and the Xu family have known each other, and they each regard each other's children as their own, and are even more tolerant and loving than their own children.
If the Xu family regains military power, will they still support Sheng Weiqiao's mother and son in the future
Thinking of this, Mrs. Qin originally decided to disrupt the marriage because she was angry with Mrs. Qin's previous plot against Sheng Weiqiao. The couple looked at each other and determined not only to disrupt the marriage, but also to get Zhao Shi out of Northern Xinjiang. military!
The two of them went to the study room in the front yard to look for Rong Suihe. When Rong Suihe, who was dealing with official duties, heard this, he quickly put down his purple hair and came out to greet her. He was a little surprised: "My parents have something to tell me. I sent someone over to say, I'll tell you." It was in the past, so why did you come here in person?"
Sheng Lanci and his wife were very satisfied with his respectful attitude. After a few pleasant greetings, they hinted that he should dismiss his servants, including Yi Liu who was waiting for the pen and ink, before talking about the marriage between Gongsun Xi and Zhao Taomei.
Knowing that Rong Suihe was a very shrewd person and that his little thoughts might not be hidden from him, Sheng Lanci said directly: "Although the incident in Xijiang was caused by the old man, it was not us who separated you from your biological mother-in-law. Relationship: What Mrs. Qin did is really chilling!"
"You know how good my girl is. She is the easiest to coax. After teaching her for so many years, she still has no memory!" Feng said, "How could she be able to outplay Mrs. Qin? Originally, even though the two of us have We are relatives, but we don’t interact with each other except during the New Year. Even though we know what Mrs. Qin has done, for the sake of our elders, we don’t have to argue!"
"But Axi has a close relationship with you to begin with, and now that you are recognized as a foster brother, we are even more like a family!"
"When he marries Miss Zhao, your relationship with the Zhao family will of course be even better!"
"We have been together so much... If Mrs. Qin comes up with something again, what do you think my dear girl will do?"
"This child is already careless. What's more, as the saying goes, a thief can only be a thief for a thousand days. How can a thief guard against a thief for a thousand days? Even if you say you can protect her, you are a person who does big things. Is it true? Can I still stay with her in the backyard all day long?"
"Besides, my dear daughter has been spoiled by us, and she has always been a bit squeamish."
"It's rare that you don't dislike it, but the princess is probably a little regretful, right?"
"Especially the prince's wife is well-known for being a virtuous person, and she even outshines my good girl!"
Feng said this in one breath, and finally said solemnly, "I know that Miss Zhao San is the apple of General Huaihua's eye. Now you personally lead the Western Xinjiang Army, but the Northern Xinjiang Army is still managed by General Huaihua. General Huaihua It's your uncle who also spoke to you earlier... now accepting Ah Xi as your adoptive brother and marrying General Huaihua will be beneficial to your future and career."
"But you also know that we don't ask her to be rich or wealthy, as long as she lives a good life!"
"You also promised that you would not let her be wronged, let alone put her in danger, so we promised her to you!"
"In this situation... tell me what to do!"
As he spoke, he took a sip of tea and looked at his son-in-law calmly.
Rong Suihe pondered, and after a while, he said: "Mom, there is something going on here. I was afraid that my dear girl would be embarrassed, so I never told her. Now that you two have come here, I would like to ask you two to help with the details!"
He told them about Gongsun Xi and Empress Meng, "...Dong Liang was very careful at the time and specially gave the empress the anti-zi soup. But for some reason, it didn't work. She was still pregnant after all! Listen! Dong Liang said that when the queen's attendants, Xuyin and Luxin, found out, they advised her to have an abortion and keep it secret. However, the queen refused. What happened in the meantime? I came to Chang'an not long ago, and I was busy. I had no time to ask about it carefully. In short, several Xiyin people later died in the palace, and each one was more miserable than the last! They were the confidants brought out by Dong Liang, and they were loyal subordinates who were tortured to death and refused to confess a single word. Now he is begging in front of me to give an explanation to these five people... "
Before he could finish speaking, Sheng Lanci and his wife said in unison: "Of course we must give them an explanation! Otherwise, wouldn't it chill the hearts of the people below?!"
Feng said flatly: "Don't worry about my dear girl, I'll tell her later... Although she had a good relationship with Queen Meng earlier, this child is not a confused person. No matter how important the Queen is, she can be more important. Are you going to do your business? Secondly, it is because there are not many girls in the Sheng family. Rao'er has been living in seclusion since the accident. Although Wu'er is clinging to her darling girl, what's the difference in age? How can they talk about it together? After coming to Chang'an, it's rare for a girl of similar age to get close to her, and she seems to be a good person, so she's going to show her heart to her?"
Naturally, he reminded his son-in-law not to forget about Mrs. Qin, "That's why we are so worried about her. If we don't like her, we might be sold without knowing it! This is true for outsiders. If you leave it to your own relatives, either you have no ill intentions towards her, otherwise It’s so easy to trick her every time!”
Sheng Lanci coughed dryly: "Is this related to the marriage between Gongsun Xi and Miss Zhao San...?"
"I don't plan to keep the Queen, and the child in her belly must be aborted!" Rong Suihe said, "Otherwise, after the child lands, how can he not ask about the biological mother? I don't mind being resented by a child at that time. I'm just afraid Ah Xi will be in trouble! The reason why I asked Ah Xi to go to the Zhao family now is because I promised General Huaihua when I was in Northern Xinjiang earlier, and the other reason is because I want Ah Xi to quickly sever ties with the queen!"
"But the queen is still in the palace right now?" Sheng Lanci frowned, "Since the queen insists on keeping her unborn heir, it shows that she has some affection for A Xi! Then the engagement between A Xi and Miss Zhao San is called If the queen knows...will there be any trouble?"
Rong Suihe sneered and said: "I just hope she will give in! If she doesn't give in, she will be having the baby in Wangchun Palace all day long. Empress Dowager Meng and Meng Guiyu are trying their best to protect her, but it is difficult to stop!"
He added, "Besides, since Ah Xi has an official wife, the queen should also know what status she and the child in her belly have in front of Ah Xi! I hope she will be wiser and get rid of the child herself, so as not to be unable to get married again." tower!"
At this point, seeing Sheng Lanci and his wife staring at him closely, he thought for a moment and said, "I was so angry that I was so angry that I was so anxious to get Ah Xi married that I neglected Mrs. Qin and others... Ah Xi doesn’t have any admiration for Miss Zhao San, so I’ll try to put this matter aside later and find him a wife!”
Sheng Lanci and his wife were very happy that their goal was achieved, and they left after saying some sweet words.
When she returned to the backyard, Feng's expression suddenly changed and she went to find Sheng Weiqiao anxiously!
Unexpectedly, I went to Jingshen Hall, but was told that a visitor was coming.
