Something more powerful
Jin Xiong frowned, thought for a while, and then said hesitantly, "I heard that a mysterious master came to the imperial capital recently. He has also done several cases in recent days. Although they are not big, they can adequately reflect his His skills are extremely good. You know Marquis Wu Ning, right?"
Lan Shuiyuan thought for a moment and nodded.
The young lady from Wu Ninghou's family is also very arrogant, although Wu Ninghou is now an idle man with almost no power in his hands.
But after all, she is a young lady from the Hou Mansion, and she always looks down on the daughter of the servant's family.
However, I heard that the only son of the Wuning Hou family was a martial arts fanatic with good martial arts skills, but his hamstring was suddenly broken a few days ago, but he had never even seen him in person.
The emperor ordered a thorough investigation into the matter, but so far there has been no result and no progress at all.
Wait, Lan Shuiyuan was suddenly startled and turned to look at Jin Xiong, "Uncle, you mean that this mysterious master did it to the Wuninghou family's son who had his hamstring broken?"
"Well, I went out of my way to inquire about it. This man is also paid to do things and is hired by others. But he has a principle not to take other people's lives, so as long as the price is reasonable and he is willing, there is usually nothing he can't do. "
Lan Shuitian on the side also narrowed his eyes, "Anyway, we are not asking him to take Lan Shuiqing's life. We are just catching him in bed and not violating his principles."
"But..." Jin Xiong became a little embarrassed, "It is said that this person charges extremely high prices..."
"Uncle." Lan Shuiyuan glared at him angrily, "You know what my mother is like now. All the housekeeper's powers have been taken away by the madam, and she can't get out the money at all. Uncle, please help us. We are all a family, and if Lan Shuiqing cannot be brought down, my father will no longer care about my uncle."
Jin Xiong was secretly annoyed that these two nieces were just like their mother, they both liked to hide and care for each other.
He didn't believe that they had no money at all. Will the amount of money my sister has collected in the Minister's Mansion over the years be reduced
But what Lan Shuiyuan said made sense. After all, he was just a moderate businessman, a scholar, farmer, and merchant, and his status was at the bottom.
Without the support of his brother-in-law, Lan Shilang, he would not be able to mix in these circles in the imperial capital.
Don't those who befriend him and take care of his business do it for Lan Shilang's sake
Jin Xiong gritted his teeth and said, for now, he will deal with Lan Shuiqing first. As for the money, he had done so much, so it was okay to ask his sister for it later.
After all, he suspected Lan Shuiqing but didn't tell Minister Lan. Instead, he kept the matter in his head. This matter was enough for him to grasp and manipulate his sister without fear of her not giving up.
Thinking about it, Jin Xiong nodded, "Okay, my uncle will help you take care of this matter. Just stay calm these days and don't get into trouble. As for your mother..."
Having said this, he couldn't help but frown. "I've talked to your father. His attitude is very firm, and with the pressure of the wife, I'm afraid he won't back down easily. I can't really break up with him now, so I'm afraid your mother will have to feel aggrieved for the time being. Now, it’s OK to demote her to a concubine... As a man, if you like her, you can still raise her up."
Lan Shuiyuan and Lan Shuitian looked at each other and pursed their lips, still feeling very unhappy in their hearts.
Especially for Lan Shuiyuan, if his mother becomes a concubine again, her status will be very embarrassing.
When she thought that Lan Shuiqing was going to overwhelm her, her teeth couldn't help but chatter, as if she wanted to break two of them.
When Lan Shuitian saw this, she felt some indescribable complex feelings in her heart. Her mother was a concubine. In the final analysis, her status was not as good as Lan Shuiyuan's. Although the younger and younger Jins are biological sisters, her relationship with Lan Shuiyuan is also somewhat close.
But no matter what, it was not her turn to talk about marriage or being a legitimate daughter. Now that Lan Shuiyuan has the same identity as herself, she feels that her energy has been relieved and balanced.
However, it would be even more detrimental to her if the Dajin clan really reduced herself to a concubine and allowed Lan Shuiqing to take over.
Sighing, Lan Shuitian was helpless. He stepped forward and patted Lan Shuiyuan's shoulder, and whispered, "Second sister, let's just bear with it for the time being. We will go back and deal with Lan Shuiqing. Dad is sure about this matter." They were hit hard. With their understanding of their father and their considerate nature, they will definitely regain his favor. Moreover, if Lan Shuiqing makes such a big mistake, her mother's position as the head wife will definitely not be preserved. Aren’t the rest of the things within reach, mother and the others?”
At this moment, Lan Shuitian and the two of them didn't even think about it.
If Lan Shuiqing really had a private relationship with other men, perhaps it would not only be the Wu family and her daughter who would be punished, but the entire Lan family. Not to mention regaining the favor of Mr. Lan and their former glory, they might not even be able to save their lives.
After all, perhaps in their hearts, Lan Shuiqing has never regarded Lan Shuiqing as their own family, they have never regarded them as a member of the Lan Mansion, and they have never connected them with the Lan Mansion. Pass.
"Of course I thought of this. What I'm worried about is that the Madam... After all, the Madam attaches great importance to her fortune." Lan Shuiyuan frowned, feeling worried.
"Hmph." Jin Xiong on the side sneered, "What's there to be afraid of that old woman? I heard that she was so angry that she vomited blood and passed out. She couldn't bear it at this level. What about Lan Shuiqing? After the exposure, I'm afraid she will be pissed to death and there is nothing to fear."
"Yes, second sister, didn't the doctor say that?" Lan Shuitian's eyes flashed with a cold light, "The doctor said that the madam can no longer be stimulated, otherwise she will suffer a stroke and be paralyzed even if she does not die. By then she will If you can’t even speak, what else can you do?”
Lan Shuiyuan was startled and raised his eyes to look at Jin Xiong and Lan Shuitian.
When his eyes fell on Lan Shuitian, there was a flash of surprise and consternation.
She didn't expect... Lan Shuitian's attitude towards Mrs. Tai was actually... hostile.
Although she didn't like the madam either, she hated her very much when she beat them.
But anyway, that was their grandmother. Before that, Mrs. Tai was very kind and doting to their sisters. After all, she never thought about letting her die... or live the life of a living dead.
Inexplicably, Lan Shuiyuan felt a chill down his spine.
Just a moment later, she suppressed him tightly again, and her eyes became gloomy.
Now...it's important to deal with Lan Shuiqing.
"Okay, then I'll leave it to my uncle."
As soon as she finished speaking, the door curtain was opened suddenly, and Lan Shilang came in angrily, looking at Lan Shuiyuan with a sneer, "What do you want to ask him for?"
