Listening to Gu Zening's words, Nangong Xi was slightly stunned, but he understood instantly.
Gu Zening is the son of the Duke of Zhenguo, and now he has an additional identity, the fourth senior brother of the future emperor and empress!
Just this level of identity is amazing!
A rising tide lifts all boats!
Before, everyone thought that Zhi Qing was taking advantage of Gu Zening's influence, but now the two of them are doing the opposite.
"By the way, how is the situation of Fourth Senior Brother and Third Senior Brother now?" Mu Zhiqing asked.
After learning that something like this happened to the Han family at the alchemy conference yesterday, she was very worried, but when Yun Ting picked her up and left, she didn't bother to say a few words.
The fourth senior brother and the third senior brother are staying together, and they must have learned about this situation yesterday.
"I talked to Third Senior Brother yesterday."
Gu Zening stopped joking and became serious.
"Han Zhi is the elder of the Han family and has a very high status. It seems that the head of the Han family was originally chosen between Han Zhi and the third senior brother's father. In the end, his uncle became the head of the Han family.
However, over the years, Han Zhi has never stopped, still eyeing the position of the head of the family. "
"The head of the Han family is also very powerful. The Han family has been getting better and better under his management over the years, and people can't find any faults. Even if Han Zhi has this intention, there is nothing he can do.
Han Zhi knew that he had no hope, so he trained Han Shuoxing, hoping to compete with his third senior brother for the position of young master. "
In Gu Zening's narration, Mu Zhiqing also understood the ins and outs of the matter.
Ever since Han Yiqing went to the mountain to learn skills, Han Zhi felt that an opportunity had come. Han Shuoxing was also an outstanding and talented alchemist. If Han Yiqing hadn't been very talented, no one in the entire Han family would have been able to overshadow Han Shuoxing's reputation.
As the young master of the Han family, Han Yiqing had to go to the mountains to learn skills and be taught by others. This was already very strange in the eyes of the Han family and attracted criticism.
However, the head of the Han family suppressed the news with all his strength. Even if everyone had some speculations, the matter did not become a big deal.
Han Zhi took advantage of the past three years to let Han Shuoxing win people's hearts. He was already smart, and with Han Zhi's foreshadowing, the effect was natural.
Originally, under the nose of the Han family, the two of them had little chance, but the Han family suddenly announced a retreat and handed over the family affairs to several elders to resolve together.
This is Han Zhi's great opportunity.
Hearing this, Mu Zhiqing couldn't help but wonder: "Why did the head of the Han family suddenly go into seclusion? Did he deliberately set up this trap or did Han Zhi assassinate him?"
Having such a person in the family is ultimately a threat, causing the family's heart to be in different places.
If it were her, she would lure him out if she knew there was such a guy.
But Han Zhi is not a good guy either. This once-in-a-lifetime opportunity might have been created by him on purpose.
"Han Zhi should have been poisoned." Gu Zening thought about it.
"Third senior brother said that he had received a letter from the head of the Han family before he came back from the mountain. It said that he should not go back for the time being to avoid being assassinated."
After hearing this, Mu Zhiqing immediately understood.
They were very surprised when the third senior brother did not return to the Han family, but came to the academy to be a tutor. Now they understand what this is all about.
"What's the current situation of the Han family? Han Shuoxing is dead, so no one can threaten his status?"
