After the whole family was swept away, I lay down flat

Chapter 183 Persuasion
Haixi Ya and Ma were both stunned.

They never thought it was possible.

Haitang turned to her brother Haijiao and winked at him.

Hai Jiao cleared his throat and said cautiously: "Actually, when grandma told my little sister about my aunt's house, we, brother and sister, discussed it privately. We felt that the aunt in the third room of the Zhou family was acting very strangely..."

Zhou Shuyi failed to marry Marquis Yingchuan, so she married his younger brother. This is nothing. It can be understood that she has some obsession with this missed marriage.But she and Mrs. Yingchuanhou married into the Zeng family, and they just gave birth to a child a few years earlier than her sister-in-law. How come she seemed to be sure that Mrs. Yingchuanhou would not have any children, so she made an early suggestion to adopt her son into the family. ?She was not a fool. Didn't she think about how embarrassing her position would be once the Marquis Yingchuan and his wife had an heir?
What's more, the Marquis of Yingchuan's wife cannot give birth to a son, and the Marquis of Yingchuan can also take concubines and have children.Now that he has two sons, one legitimate and one concubine, there is no crisis of heirloom at all, which makes Zhou Shuyi's original suggestion even more ridiculous and impatient.

Even if she really has thoughts about the position of heir apparent to the Yingchuan Marquis Mansion, can't she be patient and wait a few more years?If Marquis Yingchuan reaches 40 years old and has no heirs, it will not be too late for her to mention this again.

If Zhou Shuyi is a stupid and short-sighted person, then that's it.But judging from other people's descriptions, although Zhou Shuyi cannot be said to be smart, she did learn some calculating skills from her mother, Mrs. Ma. It's just that the city is worse, and people are not stupid. There is no reason to make such low-level mistakes. .It can only be inferred that she was quite sure of the issue of Marquis Yingchuan's heirloom, and that's why she revealed her true purpose prematurely because she couldn't hold her breath.

Then again, how could she have such confidence?She was the sister-in-law of Marquis Yingchuan, not his wife. How did she know this inside story?Could it be that her husband, Mr. Zeng Er, revealed it?Or... what has she done?
After Hai Jiao analyzed this, he saw that his grandfather Hai Xiya and his grandmother Ma were both frowning, but they did not stop him from continuing to speak, so he knew that the two elders had listened to his words.

He hurriedly struck while the iron was hot: "But Mrs. Yingchuan Hou gave birth to the prince only two or three years later. Later, Yingchuan Hou added a concubine, so there was nothing wrong with the son of the third aunt of the Zhou family. Could it be that the ambitious My aunt, are you really willing to accept this result? It is said that she is at odds with Mrs. Yingchuan Hou. I am afraid that she has not given up her own ideas in these years, which is why she will annoy her sister-in-law. Now the Yingchuan Hou Mansion has not After the family separation, if the wife of the third aunt of the Zhou family wants to be the crown prince, then Prince Yingchuan will be her obstacle. She wants to remove the obstacle, but she can't be caught. If Prince Yingchuan stays away from Hou, If he goes to a place where his family cannot protect him, it will be much easier for the lady to take action!"

Hai Xiya said calmly: "The Zhou family will not help a married woman do such a thing."

Hai Jiao said: "Of course the Zhou family won't do it, but who said that in the northwest, only the Zhou family can kill people? How did Jin Jiashu's family die? As long as the killer sent is powerful enough, even the prince of Yingchuan, who was born in a noble family, can kill people." , it’s not necessarily harder to kill than Jin Juren’s family!”

When someone dies, it is easy to explain away whether it is blaming robbers, fugitives, or Hu spies.Anyway, by the time the news reached the capital, the murderer had already disappeared without a trace. When people from the Yingchuan Marquis Mansion came to collect the body, no useful clues could be found.

Of course, just because Zhou Shuyi thought she could get away with it didn't mean that Marquis Yingchuan would really be fooled.He could not easily forget the revenge of his son's murder. If the real culprit could not be found, he would probably regard the Zhou family as his enemies.After all, the northwest is the territory of the Zhou family, and the Marquis of Yingchuan is barely half a political enemy of the Zhenguo government. His son died in the northwest, so how can the Zhenguo government stay out of the matter?

Hai Jiao explained his "conjecture" in detail, and then said to Hai Xiya: "This matter cannot be ignored. In case the third daughter-in-law of the Zhou family really wants to harm the Yingchuan Hou Shizi, regardless of whether the Zhou family knows about it or not, Afterwards, the Marquis of Yingchuan will definitely vent his anger on the Zhou family. Grandpa is close to the Zhou family, so it’s best to remind them to be more careful. It would be great if the Prince of Yingchuan could be prevented from coming to the northwest."

Hai Xiya frowned.He felt that the idea of ​​​​grandchildren was a bit whimsical, but when he thought about it carefully, it was not completely unreasonable.If the aunt in the third room of the Zhou family really has murderous intentions towards Prince Yingchuan, and something happens to the latter in the northwest, and the Marquis of Yingchuan becomes resentful of the Zhou family, the situation between the Zhou family and the frontier army will have just improved. It's going to be a life-changing incident.

At present, he and his cousin Xie Wenzai spent a lot of effort and persuaded Tao Yue to finally ease the relationship between the emperor and the Zhou family. However, the emperor's knot with the Zhou family has not been completely resolved. The hostility has not disappeared.If the emperor's confidants also become enemies of the Zhou family, it is unknown whether the emperor's mind will change. It is indeed necessary to guard against it.To say the least, Haixiya couldn't turn a blind eye to Zhou Shuyi's conspiracy even if it wasn't for the future of the Zhou family and the soldiers of the frontier army, but for the safety of Prince Yingchuan.That is a living human life!How could a teenage boy, who was supposed to have a great life, die innocently in a foreign land in the northwest because of some people's greed and selfish desires?
Hai Xiya said to Hai Jiao: "Grandpa has kept this matter in mind and will handle it properly. You and your sister should not talk about it outside for the time being, and there is no need to mention it in front of your aunt and grandma, so as not to leak the news."

Haijiao Haitang nodded quickly in agreement.Haijiao secretly breathed a sigh of relief, feeling much more relaxed.

Now it is the time when Zhou Shigong trusts his brother-in-law Hai Xiya the most. If Hai Xiya is there to persuade him, the former will probably not help Zhou Shuyi manage the relationship anymore and find a place for Yingchuan Hou Shizi to practice in the northwest, right?As long as Prince Yingchuan does not come, subsequent conspiracies and tricks will not happen again, and Hou Yingchuan will naturally not turn his anger on the Zhou family because of his son's death.

If Zhou Shuyi refuses to give up and insists on killing Prince Yingchuan, then let's look elsewhere.If her crime is exposed, the Zhou family will not protect her. Whether she lives or dies is entirely up to her.The Zhou family has guarded the northwest frontier for generations and has sacrificed countless children, relatives and friends in the past hundred years. This was not just to give her the confidence to pursue a noble career!

The Hai family quickly returned to their home.When they got off the car and entered the house, Hai Jiao saw someone looking towards them at a nearby intersection. When he looked up, he saw a veteran who the old military division had brought with him when he entered Chang'an City.

He immediately understood that the old military advisor must have sent someone over because he had something to say to him.

He sent his grandparents into the house, but he said hello to his sister and ran towards the intersection.

Haitang stood in the door and watched her brother's actions. Instead of returning to the backyard, she stayed in the front yard and waited.

After a while, Haijiao came back.Seeing that his expression was serious and he seemed to be in a bad mood, Haitang helped him close the door and asked in a low voice, "Is there any new news from the old military advisor? Has the person been arrested yet?"

Hai Jiao remained silent and did not speak. When the brother and sister returned to the backyard and there was no one around, he whispered to his sister: "Du Boqin denied that he had harbored the killer, and said that he had no knowledge of what happened on Zhuangzi, and was only responding to the concubine's instructions. Please, I took in her family members, but I didn’t know anything about what they had done recently. His concubine knew she was guilty and had committed suicide by taking poison."

Haitang was surprised: "Dead?"

This aunt lived at least more than ten years in her previous life. She is still the mother of Du Boqin's only son, and she died like this?Did he commit suicide to protect Du Boqin, or was he killed?
Has Du Boqin's scumbag nature been exposed so early in his life?
