Princess Chang'an wanted to divert the blame and pack up Wei An, Prince Zheng and Shen Chen, whom Chu Jingxing was wary of, and throw them to Liu Biping to deal with.
Mr. Bai carefully considered the feasibility of this method and carefully wrote down the names and contacts of these people, as well as their respective handles, on paper.
After a long time, he stopped writing thoughtfully and nodded to Princess Chang'an: "Liu Biping is a very petty person. He remembers everyone who has offended him. Not to mention the deep hatred of cutting off his financial resources. Besides, Shen Chen was originally going to rob his money, which is even more unforgivable in his eyes."
He told Princess Chang'an with certainty: "If we divert the trouble to Liu Biping, we can achieve twice the result with half the effort, save a lot of trouble, and even sit back and watch the fight."
Princess Chang'an supported her chin with her slender fingers, laughed lazily, sat up straight and stretched: "You are right, that's what I meant. I thought of this method before, but I always felt that no matter how I revealed this news, it might be a hidden danger, so I hesitated."
She paused, looked at a bougainvillea in the glass bottle, then coldly turned her eyes away and looked at the paper. She picked up a name and said softly, "But this time, Ah Sheng accidentally got into this huge disaster, which gave me a very good reason."
Mr. Bai couldn't help but smile in admiration: "The eldest princess is really quick-witted and far-sighted."
If someone ran to tell the Wei family and King Zheng that there was still a living child in the Ming family, there was no way the Wei family and King Zheng would believe it.
Even if that person told the truth, Prince Zheng and Old Lady Wei would still think that he was blackmailing them - after all, if someone who knew about the incident back then was aware of it, they might have known about it.
Even if we believe it, considering the Wei family's recent actions, we must investigate it thoroughly first.
This plan never works out well.
But now Lady Xianrong has accidentally angered Princess Shouning and Prince Zheng, and it is such a big thing. In order to protect her daughter, Princess Chang'an was forced to reveal this huge secret. This makes sense - after all, in order to protect her daughter, is there anything a mother can't do
I'm not afraid that the Wei family won't believe it.
Princess Chang'an did not lie.
In this case, there is no time to delay.
Mr. Bai said quickly: "I will write a letter over there..."
Princess Chang'an shook her head calmly: "No." She looked at Mr. Bai and said: "You go there in person. I am worried about letting others do this. You must go there in person."
Mr. Bai was nominally a retainer, but in reality he was just a chief historian in the princess's mansion, recording things like daily life, which was not of much use.
Princess Chang'an never praised him in public.
Even the prince consort didn't know that he was so valued by Princess Chang'an.
Mr. Bai was stunned. "The Wei family is cautious in their actions. The power of King Zheng has increased greatly recently. I am afraid that if I go out, it will be too conspicuous."
The Wei family and Prince Zheng must have a lot of spies, otherwise the Second Master Xie’s deeds would not have been exposed at that time.
Princess Chang'an had already thought about it: "It's nothing. Ah Sheng's wedding is just around the corner. I will arrange for a group of people to go to Baoding to buy fireworks, and another group to go to Linjiang Palace to deliver furniture first. There are also those who will go outside the city to measure the villa... You will not arouse suspicion if you go out among so many people."
Indeed, Mr. Bai quickly agreed: "Then I will go to Prefect Liu in person."
Princess Chang'an instructed: "Do it quickly, go to Dingzhou first and kill all those who should be killed."
Mr. Bai responded in a low voice: "Then that child..."
Princess Chang'an's narrow eyes revealed a fierce look, but in an instant they were restrained and clean: "He doesn't need to stay, stay and settle him down."
"Keeping him here might be a hazard, right?" Mr. Bai was a little worried and disagreed. "After all, he is from the Ming family. It was fine if we didn't know his whereabouts at the beginning, but now that we know and have told the Wei family and King Zheng, he is definitely a hidden danger. We should kill him so that our plan will be more foolproof. We should tell Liu Biping that the Wei family discovered what happened to the Ming family and has already taken away the orphan of the Ming family and is planning to file a complaint with the emperor. We should also tell the Wei family that they were a step too late and the person has been discovered by the Liu family..."
If you try to deceive both sides, things can easily go wrong.
Princess Chang'an shook her head affirmatively, "No need, keep the child first, maybe he will be of use in the future. But you have to be clean when you do it, the Wei family can't wait, they will send someone to Dingzhou tomorrow to investigate the truth, you have to get there before them and handle the matter properly. You have to leave behind a gold lock that can prove the child's identity and the swaddling clothes from that year."
They don't have to worry about the rest.
After living together for so many years, there must be one or two relatives and friends of that rich man who know the truth, and they will tell the Wei family when the time comes.
Neither side can get the person, but both sides know that this person exists, and both sides think that the other side has kidnapped the person, so they are just waiting for the two sides to fight to the death.
Given the ruthlessness of the people on both sides, a lose-lose situation is inevitable.
Mr. Bai stood up and said, "Then I will go back and pack up, and leave tomorrow morning."
Princess Chang'an glanced at Nanny Yuan and said, "Please prepare the luggage and money for the gentleman. Also remember to give him the seal."
With this seal, one can withdraw silver at very low prices from any Baotong Money House in any place.
Nanny Yuan responded and turned to ask Princess Chang'an, "Your Highness, would you like to give the seal carved from Huangtian stone to Master?"
That was sent by Second Master Xie a few days ago, and it was used to mobilize the death squad.
Princess Chang'an nodded and said, "Give them to you, sir." She looked at Mr. Bai and solemnly instructed, "Thank you, sir. This thing must be kept very secret. I hope you will be careful not to reveal any flaws and bring disaster upon yourself."
Mr. Bai also knew how powerful this thing was, and quickly said, "Don't worry, I know the stakes here, and I will be very careful."
Princess Chang'an waved her hand and waited for Mr. Bai to leave before she sighed to Nanny Yuan: "I hope everything goes well for him. This way, his merits and demerits can be offset and Ah Sheng's life will be better."
It’s pitiful how loving parents are. No matter how capable and powerful a person is, they have no temper towards their children.
Nanny Yuan nodded and was about to speak when Bai Ling's crying voice came in from outside: "Your Highness, it's bad! Something happened to the county lady!"
