When she heard that "Jia Lian" had sent someone to invite Jiao Shun, Mrs. Wang was filled with confusion.

At first I was worried that the eldest son would take the opportunity to cause some trouble.

During the funeral, the experience of having a small quarrel for two days and a big quarrel for three days with Mrs.

Secondly, last time Jiao Shun got drunk at Jia Lian's place, so he took the opportunity to stay in Rongguo Mansion.

If the Baochai incident had not happened, Mrs. Wang would naturally wish this was the case, but now that she has to stay with Jiao Shun again, she cannot help but feel guilty about inviting a wolf into the house.

But as Jia Lian was the only adult man in Rongguo Mansion, it was only natural for him to entertain Jiao Shun. Why should he stop him?

Even if there was a suitable reason, what would Jiao Changqing think?

Just as his heart was shaking, Jiao Shun had already stood up and said: "Since Second Brother Lian has invited me, my nephew will leave for now."

"This, you..."

Mrs. Wang stumbled twice, and finally said in frustration: "Then go ahead."

After sending Jiao Shun off, she sat there in a daze for a long time, and couldn't help but call Caixia Caiyun to ask where Baochai was now.

Caixia thought for a while and replied: "Second Grandma Bao is probably in Qiu Shuangzhai at the moment. Since the three girls handed over their errands, they often get together to play chess and write articles."

"At the third girl's place?"

Mrs. Wang's heart moved, and she secretly thought that this might be a good shield. She was about to ask Tanchun to come over to discuss the matter, but then she thought again, if Tanchun left Qiu Shuangzhai, how could Baochai stay for a long time?

So he temporarily changed his words and asked someone to invite Li Wan.

Li Wan also just came out of Qiu Shuangzhai - no matter how much he looked down on Aunt Zhao, she was still Tanchun's biological mother after all, so it was impossible to just leave her alone.

After being summoned by Mrs. Wang, I rushed to Qingtang thatched cottage in a busy and dusty manner.

Mrs. Wang stepped back, pulled her and whispered: "I have something to tell you to do. Don't ask why, just do it."

Seeing how mysterious and mysterious she was, Li Wan quickly cheered up: "My wife just gives orders to my daughter-in-law."

Mrs. Wang looked at the door with a guilty conscience, and then continued: "Well, you will go find your third sister later and ask her to try to leave Baochai in Qiu Shuangzhai at night - don't say it was my intention, let alone

Don't spread this word."

Li Wan couldn't help but be surprised after hearing this.

At that moment, he did not mention that he had just come out of Qiu Shuangzhai. He stood up and said, "I understand, madam, don't worry. I'll go find Third Sister to explain."

As Mrs. Wang stood up and said goodbye, she repeatedly warned: "Remember, don't say it was my intention!"

Li Wan made repeated promises, then left the hut in Qingtang and went to explore spring again.

At that time, Aunt Zhao was having a hard time and wanted to stay in Qiu Shuangzhai.

How could Tanchun not know what her true intentions were?

Aunt Zhao's appetite was whetted by her ramblings. She felt that the heat was almost done and she was about to agree "reluctantly" when she suddenly heard that Li Wan had left and returned.

Tan Chun was puzzled, so he asked Aunt Zhao to wait in the room while she went outside to find Li Wan and ask him clearly.

After going out, before she could speak, she saw Li Wan wink at the corner, and she immediately said with understanding: "Sister-in-law, let's go to the pavilion to talk."

The two sisters entered the pavilion one after another, and Li Wan recounted Mrs. Wang's explanation to Tanchun without any concealment.

Tanchun raised his eyebrows after hearing this: "So Sister Bao..."

"Even if it hasn't happened yet, it's probably already happened."

In fact, Mrs. Wang's words not only revealed Baochai's secret relationship with Jiao Shun, but also completely confirmed Li Wan and Tan Chun's speculations about Mrs. Wang herself - if they were not worried about something, as a mother-in-law facing their son

Why should we be so constrained by the possible adultery of our daughter-in-law?

However, both of them tacitly ignored the matter and did not mention it.

"Alas~"

Li Wan sighed helplessly: "Is he trying to wipe out the entire Rongguo Mansion?"

Tanchun did not respond to this question, but said: "Actually, Madam, her worries are unfounded. Now that there is no hindrance, the eldest Madam would like to tie her up in the east cross courtyard - but since Madam has given the order, I will take care of Sister Bao later."

Just come."

Faced with her indifferent attitude, Li Wan didn't know whether to admire or be speechless - if it had been anyone else, he would have been so angry that one Buddha was born and two Buddhas ascended to heaven if he learned that his fiancé had done such things.

.

So while Tanchun sent someone to invite Baochai back, he went back to the house and told Aunt Zhao about the matter. Aunt Zhao slapped the table in anger.

"You are such a heartless person. Am I the one who is willing to degenerate? Why don't I give up this face so that I can't be your brother and you?"

Tanchun didn't answer, just looked at Aunt Zhao and sneered, and then Aunt Zhao's arrogance visibly weakened.

She did have this intention at the beginning, but now that Tanchun has decided to marry into the Jiao family, it is purely out of hunger and thirst that she takes the initiative to get involved.

Seeing that Tanchun had no intention of speaking again, she stomped her feet and walked out with a dark face and muttering to herself. When she came to the door, she suddenly heard someone say from behind: "It can't be done today. If Auntie is really serious, just wait for me to arrange it."

"

"really?!"

Aunt Zhao turned around overjoyed, saw her daughter's joking expression, and realized that she shouldn't be so happy, but it was too late to suppress it, so she simply broke the pot and said: "You still have some conscience! I will take the time to teach you this half day.

Your method is to make steel a hundred times, and we will also make it into finger-wrap soft steel!"

With that said, Tanchun fled as if he was afraid that he would regret it and run away in advance.

But he said that that night, Jiao Shun indeed stayed overnight in the Dongkua Courtyard.

Mrs. Xing was not top-notch in terms of appearance and skills, but she had many fantastic gadgets to assist her. Even if it was not the first time for Mr. Jiao to experience it, he still couldn't help but marvel at it.

It's strange that those Confucian scholars always refer to exquisite creations as "exquisite and ingenious techniques", presumably because they are often involved in them in daily life.

…………

Early the next morning.

When Jiao Shun left Rongguo Mansion, his mind was clear. His desire for the world was greatly reduced, and he finally made a decision:

Give up maximizing profits and choose safety.

So he didn't go to the Yamen to be on duty at all, but went to Donghua Gate to hand over a sign and ask to see the prince - as a fourth-rank East Palace Young Master, he naturally had this right.

He said he was asking to see the prince, but when he was called into the palace, he was still faced with the combination of the queen and Concubine Wu.

But this time Jia Yuanchun was not present, and I don't know whether it was because he didn't have time or because he failed to secure his position.

After meeting the queen, Jiao got straight to the point and told Feng Ziying that he had asked Feng Ziying to monitor Sun Shaozu, but unexpectedly discovered that Sun Shaozu had plotted against the King of Nan'an.

Then he added: "I think that as long as we try to confirm that Sun Shaozu went to Prince Zhongshun's palace before and after King Nan'an fell from his horse, it will be enough to launch an investigation into King Zhongshun!"

The queen was speechless for a long time.

Concubine Wu was also stunned and said angrily: "How dare he?! This is simply lawless!"

Jiao Shun secretly rolled his eyes, thinking that Concubine Wu may not be any less courageous than King Zhongshun in making trouble.

At this time, the queen pondered: "In the past, King Zhongshun did not get along with King Nan'an, but now the Supreme Emperor's body is still cold, and he wants to be the regent. He should not cause trouble at this time, right?"

"Empress."

Jiao Shun said solemnly: "If it is just for personal enmity, it will naturally be extraneous. But if King Zhongshun does this, is it actually to regain the right to manage funerals?!"

After Jiao Shun's reminder, the queen realized that after King Nan'an's accident, the person most likely to take over the funeral responsibilities was King Zhongshun.

Previously, for the sake of dignity, the Queen did not expose King Zhongshun's connections. She only announced to the outside world that King Zhongshun was overworked and needed to rest. It was natural for him to return to the world after a period of rest.

After thinking about this section, the queen couldn't help but feel a little panic: "King Zhongshun has always acted ridiculously, but he didn't expect to have such a plan in secret - if what Mr. Jiao said is true, then I will not care about the dignity of the Tian family!"

Concubine Wu also echoed: "Yes, if it is true, this person must not be kept!"

Jiao Shun waited for them to finish expressing their opinions, and then said: "I think that before we have conclusive evidence, it is best for the palace to show weakness to the enemy, firstly so as not to alert the enemy, and secondly, it can also induce King Zhongshun to reveal more flaws.

, wait until the time is right and then capture them all."

The Queen nodded slightly after hearing this.

Concubine Wu couldn't help but ask: "Then what do you think is the right time?"

"this……"

Jiao Shun was suddenly speechless.

It's not that he didn't think it through, it's just that it's hard to put it into practice.

Fortunately, the queen had already understood the unfinished meaning of his words. She immediately gave Concubine Wu a tug and said, "Then I'll have to ask Jiao Aiqing to investigate secretly."

After a pause, he added: "It's best to have solid proof!"

Apparently she was worried that Jiao Shun would accuse King Zhongshun of nothing, which would make it difficult for him to step down.

"I obey the decree!"

After Jiao Shun knelt down to receive the order, he did not get up in a hurry, but hesitantly said: "There is another matter, I don't know whether to talk about it or not."

"What's the matter? But there's no harm in talking."

"Actually, His Majesty had previously instructed me to train the picket team secretly to prepare for emergencies, and repeatedly told me to keep the secret strictly, but now..."
