Chapter 80 The real daughter, she quit (26)

On that day, the two finally returned to the Wu Mansion safely and without incident.

Afterwards, Haiyao continued to live as usual, except that occasionally when going out, Wu Jinzhen would follow like a wild dog that smelled of meat and bones, and could not refuse.

She just smiled at this, and did not refuse, and followed the other party.

Soon it will be the fourth day of May, because the fifth day of May every year is a big day for the people of this dynasty, and most of the elderly female family members in the mansion believe in Buddhism, so Mrs. In the second day, I went to Shanyuan Temple in the suburbs of Beijing.

The news spread to all the courts, and Haiyao ordered Chunxi and others to tidy up and salute according to Zhao's wishes.

It is said that because Mrs. Zhao donated a lot of incense money in the temple every year, the temple specially reserved a few rooms for her, so that the female relatives who went to the Wu family could thoroughly bathe in the prosperous incense of the temple. Next, accept the nourishment of Buddha's light and cleanse the soul.

"Although the Shanyuan Temple is not on a serious mountain, the surrounding woods are also shaded from the sky, and it will inevitably be cold when the sun is not visible. Therefore, girl, I will give you the blue brocade cloak Bring it with you, will you use it if you don't have it all?" Chunxi was thinking about it while packing things into the bag.

"You have the final say." Haiyao smiled and watched the little girl busy. After observing the people coming and going in and out of the main house for a while, she raised her eyebrows: "Where is Lilac?"

The two women who were carrying the box outside were taken aback for a moment, you looked at me and I looked at yours, and one of them opened his mouth to respond: "Back to what Missy said, Lilac was still there just now, maybe I went to give it to you elsewhere." It might be time to prepare something.”

Haiyao didn't say much when she heard the words, she just lifted her chin slightly to indicate that she knew, and the two women hurried out.

When only she and Chunxi were left in the main house, the little girl murmured dissatisfiedly: "I must have gone to the second lady's yard to report the news again! Girl, why do you still leave such a thing that betrays the master?" Are you by my side? Maybe the second lady knows exactly what kind of underwear you are wearing today!"

Haiyao raised the corners of her lips and smiled: "Strictly speaking, Ding Xiang can't be regarded as betraying the master, she is the most loyal one."

People have always recognized Wu Jinrou as their master from the beginning to the end, so how can they speak against the master if they are so conscientious?Besides, the news that Ding Xiang sent out was just what she wanted Wu Jinrou to know. Keeping this thing by her side will be of great use in the future.

"Then when I go back to Shanyuan Temple, will the girl still take her with me?" Chunxi asked again.

"Of course I have to take it with me." Haiyao replied casually, then walked to the desk and gave the other party a look.

Chunxi understood, and after tidying up the baggage at hand, she hugged her arms and retreated lightly, and dutifully guarded the porch to prevent any blind-eyed reckless from breaking into the house.

Through the small gap left by the window, Haiyao confirmed that there was no one in the yard, and then she slowly pulled out a letter from a book, and there were a few words on the envelope: From Miss Wu.

The font is regular and there is no style at all, but it is exactly what the shopkeeper of Ruxiangfang, which is well-known in the capital, wrote.

That's right, she can now be regarded as the behind-the-scenes owner of this Ruxiangfang, which exploded overnight in the city. At first, this idea was born because, as a noble lady who can't show her face, she felt that the news was too closed .

Even after being here for a while, I haven't been able to figure out how many big families there are outside the imperial city, and what is the relationship between each mansion and each mansion.How can such blind eyes compete with Wu Jinrou who is obviously providing all kinds of information behind his back?

Haiyao has never been passively beaten, and her style is to take the initiative when encountering things. Therefore, building a news network of her own in Beijing is a top priority, and thus the rise of Ruxiangfang.

After carefully reading the first two pages of the letter, Haiyao understood why the original owner faced such an urgent situation when she first wore this body.

Right now, the Holy Majesty has entered the age of knowing the destiny. Although the crown prince was established many years ago, as the saying goes, it is not a good prince who does not want to be the crown prince. Flourish in an ordinary family may mean that the family is about to prosper A symbol of prosperity, but in the royal family, it is destined to be a bloody storm.

The emperor had six sons in total, and the second son of the prince was born as the queen's heir. However, from the various deeds in the past two years, it can be seen that although the prince has a lot of staff, his ability is really average.

Under such circumstances, naturally some princes had other ideas because they were not convinced.

Today, officials in the court are mainly divided into three factions: the supporters of the crown prince, the supporters of the fifth prince, and the moderate party who keep their ears to the outside world.

Wu Xiuyuan is currently regarded as a party of the mean who only listens to the emperor's command, but the competition between the crown prince and the fifth prince has already entered a fierce stage, and the forces on both sides are constantly pulling people, like him, a third-rank official who is deeply trusted by the emperor , Naturally, he was targeted.

And the Sima county magistrate was a loyal supporter of the prince's lineage, guessing that the prince's disciple failed to win over Wu Xiuyuan, so he set his mind on Wu Xiuyuan's daughter.

Once the scheme succeeds and the original owner Wu Haiyao enters the gate of Sima Mansion, even if Wu Xiuyuan is unwilling, in the eyes of outsiders, he will be firmly marked as the prince, basically to an indisputable degree.

In order to achieve the goal, a woman's reputation must be sacrificed, which is a level of disgust that cannot be described by the word 'treacherous' alone.

With Sima Mansion's family background and energy, the three young masters can marry the original owner back home in a fair and honest manner.Taking ten thousand steps back, even if you really don't want to part with the precious position of wife, and casually get into the mansion as a concubine after ruining the other party's reputation, anyone with a bit of conscience won't kill him, right?

If there is no figure of Wu Jinrou in it, Haiyao doesn't believe it at all.

I really don't know if this kind of "good thing" would have happened to Wu Jinrou if the original owner hadn't found it. She is also a woman, but the other party has no empathy at all. Such a vicious heart is really a match for her. Biological parents are comparable.

But there is still one thing that I can't figure out, Haiyao frowned slightly, how did Wu Jinrou get involved with the third son Sima?

The third son of Sima is light when he is described as ignorant. How can such a dude be seen by the crown prince? In other words, the crown prince will not worry about such things himself. There must be a link that has been ignored... …

It's just that the letter didn't mention it, Haiyao frowned slightly, put the matter aside for the time being and turned to look at the next letter.

In terms of the most well-informed people in Beijing, it is not the men of various families and houses, but the ladies who look at the door and do not go out. They always have a super ability to integrate information, and they are also good at Some vague news and my own understanding are spread out, although the final result may be somewhat varied, but if you can taste the first product carefully, you can still find a lot of clues.

This was her original intention of supporting Ruxiangfang, and the result did not disappoint her.

In the shopkeeper's letter, except for the first two pieces of letter paper that emphasized the Sima family that Haiyao was interested in, the remaining few pages were all bits and pieces of news that I overheard from the ladies chatting. It was useless, only one particularly caught her attention.

It is said that this Grand Tutor Luo and the current empress are actually related in a roundabout way, and the Holy One has always respected the empress who is a young couple with him, so naturally he is a little closer to Taifu Luo and the Luo family.

Besides, Luo Hongxin, the young son of the Luo family, has frequently been in and out of the palace since he was a child, and he has some childhood affection with the princes and daughters.And because of his talent and knowledge, he is especially valued by the crown prince. If the crown prince can successfully ascend the throne in the future, there is no guarantee that this young master Luo will not become the second Grand Tutor Luo.

Luo Hongxin, Wu Jinrou.

Inexplicably, Haiyao thought of the time when the two of them got together to talk in the outskirts of Minghu, the thought that had been tightly locked up seemed to be much clearer in an instant.

Therefore, Luo Hongxin is the missing link between Wu Jinrou and the three sons of Sima. Assuming that Luo Hongxin is really the prince's confidant and adviser, then naturally he must try his best to find a way to increase the influence of the prince's faction in the court. potential strength.

It is not surprising that Wu Xiuyuan, who is a third-rank university scholar, was targeted by him. It is estimated that the prince's party failed to recruit him several times, so he became angry and so unscrupulous, so that the original owner followed suit.

Luo Hongxin and the third young master Sima are of the same age, so contact with each other will not arouse too much suspicion from others. In addition, Wu Jinrou's admiration for Luo Hongxin is so full of desire, isn't it just a scam? Is her status in the Wu Manor an influential sister? It's really no big deal.

No wonder Haiyao always felt that the relationship between Luo Hongxin and Wu Jinrou was quite intriguing when they were by the Minghu Lake. Logically speaking, with Luo Hongxin's family background and status, he would never put Wu Jinrou in his eyes. An indescribable bond.

Unconsciously, she tapped the solid wood table twice with her fingertips, Haiyao's expression was a little playful, and she couldn't help but wonder what would Luo Hongxin do if the original owner, the unlucky guy, hadn't returned to the house before?
If Luo Hongxin asked Wu Jinrou to marry into the Sima Mansion, would Wu Jinrou obediently sacrifice for love?

It's a pity that there is no chance to answer this question.

Haiyao curled her lips, grabbed the letter paper and envelope and moved them to the dancing candle, letting the flames swallow them.

When she was at Minghu in the suburbs, she saw that Luo Hongxin didn't look like a good thing. As expected, he had a good-looking skin, but the inside was extremely sinister.

At this time, there was some movement outside the window.

Standing up and fully opening the window in front of her, Haiyao smiled silently when she saw Lilac hurried back from the courtyard.

Well……

It must be fine weather tomorrow.
