my wife is wonderful

Geng Xingshuang saw that Zhan Pei had a tired look on her face, and after she finished telling her what she had learned at the Zhuangzi in Ming County, he asked her to go back to wash up and rest.

"Girl, Mother Tan died unexpectedly. Was it the fourth girl who did it? Could it be such a coincidence that she really died of illness?" Jinbao felt that this was too coincidental.

Geng Xingshuang was wondering why Tan's mother had to use all her savings to find someone to deliver letters to Ningdu City. Was it really for the so-called master-servant relationship? But if not, what was her purpose.

"If there is something fishy about Mama Tan's death, can the person she is looking for get to Ningdu City?"

Geng Xingshuang pondered and said that she could think of whether Tan's mother would have spared a hand. If Tan's mother was really harmed by someone, wouldn't the person who harmed her guard against her.

In the next few days, Geng Xingshuang paid attention to it, and sure enough, no one from Ming County came to report to the mansion, and there was no movement from the Yao family.

Fortunately, within two days, Zhu Yan told her that she had told her brother Zhu Shen everything.

"Sister Shuang, you don't even know that after my elder brother found out about this, he talked about me for nearly half an hour, saying that I was fooling around and almost caused a catastrophe. Why did you say that I caused a catastrophe? There is no evidence. Is it all just what we inferred from what happened before? Huh, if he can discover it by himself, why do I need to tell him!"

When Zhu Yan saw Geng Xingshuang, she just complained. Geng Xingshuang did not interrupt her. He waited for her to finish her sentence and heard her let out a long sigh of relief before saying: "I think what Mr. Zhu said makes sense. We did it before." It’s a little pretentious.”

The situation in the Anping uncle's house was special. During this period, her father was busy with the autumn harvest in the village and was often away from the house. Neither her grandfather nor Geng Shulou, the second roommate, seemed to be the right person to talk to about this matter. Her brother wanted to She was busy with the martial arts competitions for the coming year and was always at Licai Academy, so she kept this matter to herself.

Speaking of which, she intervened in this matter not only because of Tao Yuyu, but also because of Geng Xingbing.

While sympathizing with Tao Yuyu, she must be wary of Geng Xingbing and be prepared for a rainy day.

But the Zhu family is different.

Geng Xingshuang told Zhu Yan, "If your eldest brother had been asked to intervene earlier, he would have taken care of Xiaoyu, and perhaps what happened that day would not have happened. Furthermore, if he had been told a few days earlier, Ge Datian might have He won’t die in prison, and maybe Tan’s mother won’t die silently in Ba County.”

"Sister Shuang, why are you saying the same thing as my elder brother? He also said the same thing. He also said that these things are not something that Geng Xingbing, a housewife, can do, especially the Ningfeng County Yamen Prison. Although it is not as good as the Dali Temple of the Ministry of Punishment, It's so strict, but it's not that easy to kill someone without arousing suspicion. By the way, Sister Shuang, guess who my elder brother said did it?"

Geng Xingshuang had already thought about this problem, and she said: "First of all, exclude Prince Ping."

Zhu Yan opened her eyes wide and looked incredulous, "What you said is just like my elder brother."

The reason why Zhu Yan was so shocked was because she initially guessed that Prince Ping was the one, but until now, she has not figured out why she had to rule out Prince Ping in the first place.

"Come on, when I asked my eldest brother, he was very arrogant and asked for this and that. I'm not happy to ask him!"

Geng Xingshuang asked her first: "Do you think Prince Ping has the ambition to aspire to the throne?"

Zhu Yan nodded, "Of course there is. Even if I don't pay much attention to things in the court, I have heard about the two princes who are the most vocal at the moment, namely the eldest prince Prince Li and the third prince Prince Ping. Do you think Prince Ping has this intention? ?”

"The eldest prince and the third prince, what about the second prince in the middle?" The fourth prince, the fifth prince and the princes behind them are ranked lower and younger. It is understandable that they have no advantage.

As far as she knew, the second prince's mother was Concubine Shu, and his maternal family was from the Wu family of the Minister of Industry. He was from a not lowly background, and he was certainly capable of competing.

Zhu Yan said: "The second prince has followed the eldest prince since he was a child and has always followed the eldest prince's lead. Therefore, although he is capable and has a good reputation both in the court and among the people, he has no idea of ​​seizing the throne. I heard that even if he has The courtiers took the initiative to approach, and Prince Shen also took the initiative to refuse. Of course, these are just hearsay, and I don’t know if they are true.”

Geng Xingshuang nodded. She was not interested in this. The reason why she asked was mainly because she wanted to know what situation Prince Ping was in in the battle for the throne.

"Then what is the attitude of your government?"

"Are you asking which prince our family supports?"

Zhu Yan shook his head and said: "Although I am not involved in such a big thing, I know the attitude of my family. Our family is not willing to participate in it. We only listen to the emperor's orders and are only loyal to the emperor. You know that, and I While my aunt was in the palace, she only gave birth to the sixth princess. My mother said that this was actually a good thing for our family. Since ancient times, in the battle for the right to inherit, countless families have suffered tragic consequences. It would be best for our family to avoid it. Sister Shuang, why do you ask this?"

Geng Xingshuang also guessed the same.

"The Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion is deeply trusted by the emperor. The eldest son is the emperor's personal bodyguard, and the prince is also the minister of the Ministry of War. The Duke of Guo once guarded Hancheng and Lanping areas. Although he no longer leads troops now, his prestige has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. , tell me about your family’s situation, what do the princes who want to seize the legitimate rights think?”

Zhu Yan became thoughtful.

Geng Xingshuang said: "Even if they don't dare to woo her openly, they know that wooing her is useless. But if it is confirmed that Xiaoyu is the flesh and blood of the Duke of Zhenguo, will they harm her or be kind to her? Which is the most beneficial approach? yes……"

"Marry her directly!" Zhu Yan blurted out and immediately shook his head, "Both King Li and King Ping have already married, so what they want most is to take her as their concubine and break the news when the time is right. The true identity of Yu was already a foregone conclusion at that time. Xiaoyu had become the concubine of a certain prince. Our family felt guilty about Xiaoyu. If we promoted Xiaoyu to the concubine at that time, even if our family continued to insist on marrying her, A certain prince drew a clear line, and with this level of in-law relationship, you can't draw a clear line even if you want to."

Zhu Yan was very perceptive. She had not thought of this before because she had not connected Tao Yuyu's identity with the inheritance. Now that Geng Xingshuang reminded her, she immediately figured out the key.

"Sister Shuang, why are you so powerful? I see that you are either painting or strolling in the shop on weekdays. What you read the most are story books. By the way, speaking of story books, why are there no new story books during this time? , those sold in bookstores, I can guess the ending after reading the beginning, and the one written by the hero named Yun Changyan is the best."

Zhu Yan didn't know that Yun Changyan was Yang Qingmo. Geng Xingshuang only told her that the person who wrote the storybook should be a ranger. He had traveled to many mountains and rivers and had a lot of experience, so he could write such ups and downs and strange stories. Wei Huan's story, although sometimes Ningdu can buy his story books, but they always come out later than Pingcheng, and the quantity is small, so they are often unavailable, so Zhu Yan guessed that Yun Changyan was from Pingcheng.

Facing Zhu Yan's look of "I really want to read a good storybook", Geng Xingshuang thought to herself that the person who wrote the storybook had to prepare for the imperial examination and would not make up stories when he had time.

She felt that she was riding a tiger now. She didn't tell Zhu Yan at that time because of her selfishness. When she wanted to discuss the contents of the storybook, she could praise the author unscrupulously and brag about the author's rainbow fart (this word also appeared in the dream) , she felt very impressive) without being laughed at by Zhu Yan.

"Sister Yan, you are off topic. Besides, Brother Yang Liu and my second brother have both returned to Ningdu. Where can anyone send me a message book? Just wait, maybe in a few months, there will be something for sale in Ningdu City. ”

"Alas!" Zhu Yan sighed with some disappointment and brought his thoughts back to the previous conversation. (End of chapter)
