Chapter 306: What the hell?
Chapter 306: What the hell?
Lu Xinran already felt it was funny that she was being treated as an NPC. She nodded slightly to Song Junze and went upstairs, leaving Song Junyan downstairs to chat with Song Junze.
"Fourth brother, are you here for lunch as well? I haven't had time to congratulate you and Fourth Sister-in-law yet. Since I'm here today, would you please have lunch with Fourth Sister-in-law?"
Song Junyan looked at him and chuckled, then found an excuse to refuse: "Your fourth sister-in-law is shy and shy, so let's just forget about it today. I'll invite you to my house when there's a chance in the future."
Song Junze: "..."
He tried hard not to let his face break down. His fourth sister-in-law, with her rebellious and unruly voice, was she introverted and shy?
Song Junyan smiled and patted him on the shoulder, then walked around him and went upstairs.
Lu Xinran was standing in front of the window, looking at the crowd below, bored. When she heard the door open, she turned around and breathed a sigh of relief when she didn't see anyone behind Song Junyan.
"Both of your brothers seem eager to prove their innocence."
Song Junyan chuckled: "You have seen the temper of the third brother. No one wants to be remembered by him."
Song Junhua and Song Junhe are both the most favored princes by the emperor. In the past, they had the support of their respective mothers. Both of them have the most domineering and unscrupulous personalities.
Even though Concubine Hua is no longer around, without Song Junhe to compete with him, Song Junhua is still the one with the most violent temper and the one who doesn't know how to restrain himself.
"But after this, Song Junhua has been labeled as unfit for the task in the eyes of the court officials, right?"
Even the emperor no longer had the same love and care for him as before.
This is like doing subtraction, every incident will reduce his favorability in the emperor's heart.
As Lu Xinran thought about this, he suddenly realized that the person behind the scenes seemed to have some means and was very clear about the emperor's character.
Song Junyan walked up to her, took her hand, and led her to the table and sat side by side.
"It's just a momentary calculation. Father is in his prime. Who will remember this day in ten or twenty years?"
As long as there are capable and decisive people around Song Junhua, his actions of a few days will be forgotten by the court officials and the emperor in a few years.
Lu Xinran was slightly stunned by what she said, and subconsciously turned her head to look at the calm and indifferent person.
"You are very open-minded and far-sighted."
Song Junyan just smiled faintly. If she had experienced the fickleness of human nature in the harem, she would have seen all of this clearly.
However, he was the only one who had suffered, and he still liked her simple and kind appearance.
In the next room, Song Junze and his sixth brother Song Junyu sat opposite each other. There was a cup of tea in front of them, but no one was interested in picking it up.
"Fourth Brother is just as cold and indifferent as always."
After a long time, Song Junze sighed deeply, but Song Junyu, who looked like a smiling tiger, shook his head and denied it: "No, Fourth Brother loves Fourth Sister-in-law very much. Do you still remember that the sisters of the Lu family had an accident? That time, Fourth Brother went out of the city to rescue them personally, and he even broke several ribs for it."
They should have realized from then on that Song Junyan had special feelings for Lu Xinran.
If they had discovered it at that time, they might have fought for it and gotten the marriage.
"Let's not talk about that. I just want to ask you, are you sure that if we meet them again and again, our voices will be heard?"
"Given Lu Xinran's love of watching the fun, there shouldn't be any mistakes, unless she wants to see even bigger fun."
However, he had a backup plan, and for the sake of her good sister, Lu Xinran would not let the situation get out of control.
Song Junyu picked up the already cold tea, put it to his nose and sniffed it, then put it down again with disgust.
Following the system's prompts, Lu Xinran had listened to their conversation in detail.
She recently discovered that if the contents of the booklet were read out by the system, others would not be able to hear what they were saying.
But the system is not as "intelligent" as her, so she still needs to deal with the more complicated melons by herself.
But this kind of live broadcast is not too difficult for the system.
"You, the sixth brother, are not simple."
After hearing the few words relayed by the system, Lu Xinran no longer had any good impression of Song Junyu.
This person's so-called back-up plan was to disregard Lu Xinlan's reputation. Regardless of whether the original body had a past relationship with him, the fact that he used this kind of thing as a threat meant that this person had extremely bad character.
“He does have a lot on his mind.”
"Heh," Lu Xinran sneered, "Doesn't he want to hear their true feelings? Then I'll do as they wish."
She didn't believe that the past of these two people could stand up to scrutiny.
She buried her head in flipping through the two people's booklets, especially Song Junyu's one. She didn't read it carefully the day before, but this time she didn't miss a single word.
[I didn't realize that Song Junyu had a talent for business. He has a lot of businesses in Jiangnan.]
[There are many shops in Suzhou, Hangzhou, and Yangzhou, and they are all doing very well, especially in Yangzhou, where there are several brothels and boat shops.]
[He thought he was doing it very covertly and no one could find out, but no matter what he did, there would be traces. It all depends on whether the other person was paying attention! ]
She said these words with gritted teeth. If you want to use her, you must be able to bear the backlash.
[With so many brothels and boat houses in Yangcheng, it shouldn't be difficult to get some skinny horses to Beijing. And who knows the complicated relationships in Beijing better than the prince? ]
[It is not unfair for Song Junhua to be plotted against by his own brother. After all, it was intentional. Who would have thought that a seemingly innocent person could hide so deeply behind the scenes.]
In the next room, half of the tea in Song Junze's tea bowl had already spilled out.
He looked at Song Junyu in disbelief, as the smile on his lips had not yet disappeared.
So, this good brother in front of him not only schemed against his older brothers, but also schemed against him today, right?
Song Junyu was so shocked that he was speechless. He had hidden these things so deeply...how did Lu Xinran find them out!
It shouldn’t be!
This was totally different from his plan.
[First, he used these skinny horses to seduce several of his brothers, and then used different methods to send them to the back houses of many officials.]
[Thanks to the advice of his wife, he has received a lot of help over the past year and has completely established a firm foothold in the Ministry of Rites.]
[However, the Ministry of Rites is not as powerful as the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Personnel. If he wants to go to the Ministry of Revenue or the Ministry of Personnel, he must first make his brothers lose power.]
As for how she lost power, she did not say anything further, but everyone who could hear her thoughts had already filled in the blanks in their minds.
The second prince, Prince of Chu, is in the Ministry of Personnel, and the third prince, Prince of Jin, is in the Ministry of Revenue. No matter where he wants to jump to, he must first overthrow these two.
The best way is to kill two birds with one stone and make them all lose power in this turmoil.
When Lu Xinran saw this, he couldn't help but spit.
Who the hell is this? He actually wants to plot against her!
