The scheming empress starts by conquering men

Everyone looked at Shao Chaogan and saw that her expression was extremely unnatural.

Could it be that this kidnapping was secretly instigated by Shao Bohou?

Everyone thought about it carefully and thought that they might have guessed right.

They all knew Shao Yujie's character. That boy was as gentle as jade, handsome and elegant, a true image of the cool breeze and bright moon.

I would never do such a thing, and I respect my brother Shao Jincong very much.

If it was arranged by Marquis Shao, he did not want Shao Jincong to marry into the royal family, so he instructed Shao Yujie to deliberately kidnap Shao Jincong.

When they realized this possibility, everyone was shocked.

I was frightened by Shao Bohou's hypocrisy.

The people in the Shao Clan Ancestral Hall also thought of this and became even more frightened and terrified.

An old man slammed the cane in his hand hard, suppressed his anger, and yelled at Shao Chaogan.

"Look at the good things you've done!"

Now, the Sixth Prince heard everything about this matter.

I'm afraid that in just a few days, the Empress will receive a pigeon message accusing the Shao family of disobeying the Emperor's order.

Shao Chaogan looked unhappy and glared at his son.

"Don't talk nonsense in front of His Highness the Sixth Prince!"

She reacted quickly and winked at Shao Jincong again, asking him to stop talking and go back to talk.

In fact, I was also extremely shocked inside.

She knew Yujie's character best, he was a good boy.

He is as gentle as jade, a modest gentleman, and doesn't seem like someone who would do such a thing.

Besides, his sister died early, and it was she who raised Yujie.

Since childhood, Yujie has been more sensible, considerate, understanding and kind to others than others.

Even if he really did such a thing, it was his son's lawlessness that angered Yujie.

Yujie had him kidnapped just to vent his anger, not to really kill her.

She thought it was no big deal, just a minor incident.

She also knew what kind of person her son was. She had spoiled him and he was now lawless and a real devil.

But the problem is that the son told this matter in front of the Sixth Princess.

This matter could have been handled privately, but now that it was spoken out in public by his son, its nature changed and it escalated to an irresistible level.

If this were to reach the empress's ears, she, Shao Chaogan, would definitely make her wary.

I suspect that she deliberately let Shao Yujie kidnap Cong'er in order to prevent Shao Jincong from marrying into the royal family, with the purpose of delaying or disobeying the order to welcome the bride.

Since the empress ascended the throne, as she grew older, her suspicion grew more and more serious.

The power between the barons and dukes was weakened and no longer as strong as before.

"Mother!" Shao Jincong looked hurt and asked directly, "Do you really believe that Shao Yujie doesn't believe me?"

Shao Chao coughed dryly, ignored his son, looked at Shaodian Sishui with an embarrassed smile, and changed the subject.

"It is getting late. I have ordered people to repair the guest rooms. Your Highness, you are tired from the journey. You may want to rest in the mansion for a while before reading the imperial edict. What do you think?"

Sure enough, although the plot is a bit crooked, the important plot is still positive.

Shaodian Sishui had a faint smile on his face, but there was an aura of solemnity and oppression on his body. He said the same words that the heroine had said, but with slight changes.

"It's okay. Marquis Shao should deal with the quarrel between brothers in your house as soon as possible."

"If it were any other time, I wouldn't bother with this kind of thing."

"However, Shao Jincong is the future husband of the second princess of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and he is also a member of our royal family."

"Someone dared to assassinate the Second Emperor's daughter's husband, which means they don't take the members of our royal family seriously."

"If this kind of person is not killed, does Shao Bohou want to make a big thing small, or a small thing nothing?"

"If the Second Princess were here today, she would definitely stand up for Master Shao and kill the person who plotted against him."

She said, her voice deep, her eyes staring at her fiercely.

"Shao Bohou, what do you think?"

Shao Chaogan was sweating profusely. He lifted up his skirt and knelt on his knees.

"Well, Your Highness, what you said is absolutely right. I will definitely give you a satisfactory answer."

After he finished speaking, Shao Chaogan bowed his head and kowtowed.

At this moment, Shao Chaogan hated Shaodian Sishui in his heart.

When is it your turn as a princess to interfere in her family affairs? You are just the sixth princess who is welcoming the bride, not the second princess. Why do you need to intervene here?

Shaodian Sishui said nothing, but looked down at Shao Chaogan and sighed secretly.

Ever since she came into the book, she has never used the royal family behind her to force others to bow their heads, but has only been calculating.

This is the first time I learned how to use power to oppress others like the heroine. Gosh, it feels pretty good.

Shao Chaogan kept kneeling. Although she hated Shaodian Sishui in her heart, she was a member of the royal family.

Shaodian Sishui didn't let her get up, so she didn't dare to get up.

The leg disease left over from years of war made it difficult for her to bear. In this cold winter weather, the pain was so severe that her forehead was covered with sweat.

Shao Jincong knew that his mother had a leg disease and could not bear to see her kneeling, so he turned and looked at Shaodian Sishui with a hint of reproach in his eyes.

"Your Highness, why don't you let my mother get up? My mother has a leg disease and can't kneel for long."

"Jincong, don't be rude!"

Shao Chaogan, who was kneeling on the ground, spoke out to stop him, his face looking gloomy.

However, Shao Jincong glared at Shaodian Sishui angrily, as if to say, "If you dare to make things difficult for my mother, I will ignore your emotions for the rest of my life."

Shaodian Sishui looked at Shao Jincong with confusion in her eyes.

Did he know that she was doing this to help him?

That's why she put pressure on Shao Chaogan. Not only did he not thank her, he also blamed her for the incident.

Shao Chaogan was willing to kneel, so what did it have to do with her?

Shaodian Sishui's eyes looked a little hurt, and he took a step forward with a gloomy face.

He no longer looked at Shao Jincong, but instead fixed his gaze on Shao Chaogan. He bent down, put his ear close to his, and lowered his voice so that only the two of them could hear it.

"Shao Jincong is simple-minded. Just because he doesn't understand doesn't mean I don't understand. You just want to let Shao Yujie go."

"I know that Shao Yujie is your sister's only child. If you want to let him go, I won't do anything about it."

"But at least you can't let Shao Jincong down in front of him. He is your only son."

"If I hadn't saved Shao Jincong, what you would have seen today would have been a corpse."

"Why do you have the right to bear a grudge against me?"

"I am only the one who welcomes the bride, not the righteous Second Princess. I have no relationship with you, the Shao family. It is up to you to do what you want."

"But if you embarrass Shao Jincong in public and don't trust your own son, I don't mind severing Shao Jincong's relationship with your Shao family and slaughtering your entire family."

After Shaodian Sishui finished speaking, he smiled and helped Shao Chaogan up.

The bright sunshine shone on her face, and everyone was attracted and bewildered by her smile.

Only Shao Chaogan was shocked by her words. When she saw her smiling face, she felt a cold light piercing into her heart, spreading through her heart and lungs to her whole body, making her shudder and feel creepy.

Shao Chaogan opened his mouth, but found that she was speechless. He glanced past her and looked suspiciously at his son behind him.

She didn't understand why the Sixth Prince would say such words to her. Did something happen between Jin Cong and the Prince?

Otherwise, why would the Sixth Prince stand up for Cong'er?

Judging from what the Sixth Prince said, it wasn't because of the Second Prince, but because of herself?

Shao Chaogan was puzzled. She seemed to have thought of something, but he didn't dare to believe it.

"Shao Chaogan, Shao Jincong, accept the order."

Shaodian Sishui ignored what Shao Chaogan was thinking and took out the imperial edict from the empress and prepared to read it.
