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

Chapter 191 Conjecture
Hai Jiao was shocked by his younger sister's guess: "No way? Maybe Mr. Sun Ge's granddaughter just died early and no one mentioned it again later?"

Considering that this Miss Sun was discussing marriage with Prince Yingchuan Hou, there might be some real feelings.After Yingchuan Hou Shizi died in the northwest, she may have died of illness due to excessive grief.A girl who died in infancy naturally had little status in the family, and it was not surprising that she would be forgotten later on.Once she died, Princess Ji became the only granddaughter of Mr. Sun Ge, which matched the rumors Haijiao had heard in his previous life.

But Haitang somehow always had an intuition that her guess was more reliable: "If Mr. Sun Ge wants to ensure the long-term wealth of the family, he must tightly tie Prince Ji to his family. If his eldest granddaughter dies, , but did not leave a grandson with the blood of the Sun family, he had to marry a granddaughter to maintain the alliance with Prince Ji. It could not be a grandniece, but a biological granddaughter to ensure the rights and interests of his biological children.

"But the little granddaughter is already engaged to Prince Yingchuan. In order not to offend Marquis Yingchuan, he has to peacefully resolve the engagement between the two families in a way that is acceptable to both parties. However, how can such a matter be resolved peacefully so easily? Yingchuan The Marquis of Chuan is the emperor's confidant and holds the military power, so there is no need to look at the Sun family's face. Mr. Sun Ge cannot split his granddaughter in half and marry two men respectively, so he has no choice but to let the prince of Marquis Yingchuan die."

In order to distance himself from the death of Yingchuan Hou Shizi, he may have taken advantage of Zhou Shuyi's greed.Zhou Shuyi has always been interested in currying favor with the Sun family, and she also has thoughts about the title of the Marquis of Yingchuan. It is estimated that if she is provoked by a few words, she will have murderous intentions towards the Prince of Yingchuan.

She came forward to persuade the Marquis of Yingchuan and his wife to send their eldest son to the northwest for training, and asked her elder brother Zhou Shigong to arrange a place for the Marquis of Yingchuan, and then arranged for a killer to kill.After someone dies, the Marquis of Yingchuan and his wife will resent the murderer, the Zhou family for not managing the place well, and Zhou Shuyi for having a bad idea. When they find out the truth, they will only hate Zhou Shuyi and his wife, but they will not resent that they have nothing to do with the matter. Sun family.When one of the two parties entering into a marriage contract dies, the other party is naturally free and can choose another mate.

As the granddaughter of the powerful Mr. Sun Ge, it was natural that the Sun family girl could not be asked to watch over the widowed family for her fiancé.The most she can do is celebrate the three-year festival for her deceased fiancé, and then she can marry someone else.If Mr. Sun Ge was more impatient, he might not need it for a year.The Yingchuan Hou Mansion might be dissatisfied with this, but there was nothing they could say.Their family's focus at that time was probably on taking revenge on the Zhou family for the death of their son.

After hearing her sister's analysis, Hai Jiao had to admit that she was a little convinced.

After all, the prince of Yingchuan has grown so big that Zhou Shuyi has never had any murderous intention towards him. It is somewhat strange that she suddenly had the idea of ​​killing him at this time.

Marquis Yingchuan did not only have one son, he also had another concubine.If Zhou Shuyi used the reason that she did not have a son to inherit the title as an excuse to push for the adoption of her own son, there is a high probability that it would not succeed.Based on the emperor's favor and trust in Marquis Yingchuan, as long as Marquis Yingchuan begs for help, the emperor may not agree to allow him to pass on the ancestral title to his concubine.It was impossible for him to abandon his own flesh and blood and not establish a son, but to adopt his brother's son.Moreover, his brother did not have such a great reputation that the emperor could refuse the request of his favorite general.

If Zhou Shuyi wasn't trying to facilitate her son's adoption, then why did she choose to attack Yingchuan Hou Shizi at this time?If she was instigated by the Sun family, everything would make sense.

Only the Sun family would be anxious to deal with Prince Yingchuan at this time.

As for the reason?

Hai Jiao murmured: "It is estimated that Prince Ji's Crown Princess is either dead now or has some serious illness that cannot be cured and will die soon. Therefore, the Sun family is eager to find someone who can take over her position as Crown Princess. Although it is not that there are no other girls in the Sun family, who can be more noble than Sun Ge Lao's direct granddaughter and Sun Guifei's niece? Prince Ji is not a fool, and he cannot just marry a girl named Sun. Be the first wife. He wanted to restore his status as a prince, but he could not get the support of the emperor and the queen mother. He could only count on Sun Ge Lao. If he hadn't married Sun Ge Lao's biological granddaughter, how could he believe that the Sun family faction would do their best? How about helping him?" After Hai Jiao thought carefully, he was completely convinced by his sister.

After being persuaded, he cried again because of Zhou Shuyi: "How did she get persuaded by the Sun family? Even if it was because the Sun family was powerful and she wanted to cling to power, it was too stupid to cheat her parents' family! In order to harm her husband's nephew, she dragged her mother's family into trouble and offended her mother's family and her husband's family at the same time. What good outcome could she have afterwards? Wouldn't she think that as long as she helped Mr. Sun Ge run the errand, Mr. Sun Ge would If she is willing to support him and his wife, her son can get the position of Prince Yingchuan, right?

"But Mr. Sun Ge is able to achieve today's glory only because of the emperor's favor. The holy family of Marquis Yingchuan is no less than Mr. Sun Ge. How can the emperor force Marquis Yingchuan to pass the title to his nephew for Mr. Sun Ge? If the emperor doesn't agree, Mr. Sun Ge will have no choice but to risk offending the Marquis of Yingchuan. If he doesn't mind offending the Marquis of Yingchuan, why would he need to encourage Zhou Shuyi to harm others?!"

Zhou Shuyi couldn't even think about such a thing, so why did she want the title of the Marquis of Yingchuan?If she was so unhappy that her son would not receive the ancestral title, why did she marry the brother of Marquis Yingchuan in the first place?Her husband didn't have a title. Wasn't this a fact she knew before she got married?

Hai Jiao couldn't help but walk around in his sister's room several times, and cursed "idiot" several times hatefully. But after the scolding, he still had to calm down and think about how to deal with the consequences Zhou Shuyi's stupid behavior brought to the northwest. crisis.

"We can't let Yingchuan Hou Shizi come to the northwest..." He subconsciously muttered to himself, "Even if they can't stop him, the Zhou family can't arrange for him to go to a border town. He has to stay in Chang'an City. There are too many people in the city. It’s safer. You have to bring a few more followers with you when you go out. As long as he returns to the capital in one piece, it doesn’t matter whether he is broken by someone else, or turns against his cousins, it has nothing to do with the Zhou family!”

Seeing this, Haitang had to remind him: "Brother, you can't stop this kind of thing. If Marquis Yingchuan decided to send his son to the northwest for training, how could the Zhou family refuse for no reason? They finally asked Lord Tao Yue to help and softened the situation. The relationship between the Queen Mother and the Emperor will definitely not offend the Emperor's confidants at this time. Besides, you can't convince the Zhou family. Our guesses are just speculations after all, there is no evidence! Even if there is evidence to prove that Zhou Shuyi is not well-intentioned, the Zhou family How could they retreat despite the difficulties? The people in their family must be very confident, thinking that they have the entire northwest under their control, right?"

Hai Jiao closed his eyes with a headache and said fiercely: "In that case, then quickly separate this idiot Zhou Shuyi from the Zhou family! Let everyone in the capital know that the Zhou family does not want to see this married woman, and they are not from the same family! When the Prince of Yingchuan really comes, I will find a way to make friends with him and expose the conspiracy between Mr. Sun Ge and Zhou Shuyi. As long as he writes these things to his parents, even if he is really raped in the future. He was killed in the northwest, and Marquis Yingchuan also knew who the real enemy was!"

Haitang patted her brother on the shoulder and gave him an idea: "Brother, how about we go and convince the uncle of the Zhou family first? Let him find a way to arrange for the Prince of Yingchuan to be sent to the Minzhou Guard. How about that?"

岷州卫？
Hai Jiao blinked and immediately reacted: "The Minzhou Guard where Zhou Shicheng is now?"

Zhou Shicheng, Mrs. Ma’s biological son and Zhou Shuyi’s biological brother.He is the Zhou family member with the highest position in Minzhou Wei.If Prince Yingchuan was assigned to him, would Zhou Shuyi still be able to do it?If something goes wrong, her brother will be the one to take the blame!
