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

Mrs. Zhou Ma simply couldn't imagine that Zhou Shuyi would be so stupid as Haitang said, hollowing out her natal family to please the Sun family.

Doesn't she know what the relationship is between the Sun family and the Zhou family?

The Sun family saw her spending money to please themselves. No matter what her purpose was, how could they let it go if she had the opportunity to make the Zhou family suffer?They will definitely try their best to find various ways to get money from her until the entire Zhou family is hollowed out!
The Sun family has always wanted to seize military power from the Zhou family. They have been struggling for more than ten or twenty years, but they have not been able to achieve it, so they can only deduct military expenditures in the northwest.The Zhou family and a group of frontier generals worked hard and relied on their own efforts to stabilize the finances of the northwest frontier army.Now that a traitor like Zhou Shuyi has emerged, taking the initiative to help the Sun family poach the Zhou family, the Sun family will probably laugh their heads off secretly, right?

As long as Mrs. Ma lets her daughter take whatever she wants without any restraint, the third family of the Zhou family will not be able to survive for long, no matter how much money and property they have.

So, is Zhou Shuyi a fool who cannot see the truth clearly and insists on rushing to deliver the money to the Sun family? What is she trying to do? !
Mrs. Zhou Ma still remembers the rumors about her sister-in-law in the past: "She wants the title of the Marquis of Yingchuan, right? Her son was born not long ago. Just because Mrs. Yingchuan Marquis gave birth to her son three years after her, she clamored about succession. , as if she was sure that Yingchuan Hou and his wife would not have a son. Later, Yingchuan Hou Shizi was born, and she was too embarrassed to say anything anymore. Now she wants to find a killer to kill Yingchuan Hou Shizi. In order to make it easier, she also wants to deceive her. Our master is acting as an accomplice... Is she thinking that as long as the son of Marquis Yingchuan dies and she asks the Sun family to speak for her in front of the emperor, her son will become the heir apparent of Marquis Yingchuan?"

Zhou Yijun felt that if Zhou Shuyi really thought this way, she would be too stupid: "I heard that the Marquis of Yingchuan was in his prime. Even if the prince dies and there is still a bastard, he may not have a third son in the future." How can my grandmother be so sure that Marquis Yingchuan will be happy for her son to inherit the title?"

If the prince of Yingchuan was really murdered in the northwest under the arrangement of Zhou Shuyi and his brother, the prince of Yingchuan would not be able to resent his sister-in-law in time. Even if he could not grasp the reason for her murder, he would not be willing to pass on his title to her. her son.The hatred of killing a son is irreconcilable, even if Zhou Shuyi's son is the nephew of the Marquis of Yingchuan, it will not work!
Haitang said with a smile: "Will Mr. Sun Ge and Concubine Sun really get involved in this kind of thing? After all, Marquis Yingchuan is also the emperor's confidant general, and he is in charge of the imperial army. Whoever his title will be passed on to, that's all. His family affairs. The emperor must respect his ideas. If the Sun family wanted to ask, they would have stretched their hands too far. The Sun family does not have a prince or grandson now. No matter who inherits the throne in the future, he will have nothing to do with his family. There is no blood relationship. Mr. Sun Ge has already mastered the power of the DPRK, so what does he want to do if he wants to join the Imperial Army again?"

Zhou Ma couldn't help but take another breath of cold air, and said to Haitang in surprise: "How about teasing! That's a good idea! Go back and tell the master, if the Sun family really wants to interfere in the inheritance of the title of Yingchuan Marquis Mansion, the Queen Mother will You can use this sentence to remind the emperor. The power of the court is already in the hands of Mr. Sun Ge. If he can even control the imperial army, why not rebel immediately?!"

Zhou Yijun quickly reminded her: "Grandma, if this matter is really brought to the palace, my aunt's matter will no longer be hidden. She has raised a killer and wants to kill Prince Yingchuan. It will be a death penalty to tell anyone about it. "

Zhou Ma waved his hand: "How can we reach the point of sentencing her to death? Once this incident comes out, even if the Yingchuan Hou Mansion does not want to be dignified, the Zhou family will not let her ruin the family's reputation. Find a way to call her Just die of illness. Such a way of death will not cause any trouble, and it will save outsiders from gossiping. If it really goes to the government, it will not only be embarrassing for the Zhou family, but also the reputation of the Zeng family for several lifetimes. Can’t keep it!”

Who told Zhou Shuyi to marry into the Zeng family for nearly 20 years?She has lived in her husband's family longer than in her mother's family, and her reputation in the past was not bad. At most, she was gossiped about because she spent too much money.Such a noble lady was suddenly accused of being a poisonous woman who killed her nephew. Outsiders would not blame the Zhou family for being lax in their upbringing. On the contrary, the Zeng family had a bad family tradition and was more likely to be reviled.Zhou Shuyi's husband, Mr. Zeng Er, is more likely to be regarded as the mastermind.Then the Zeng family of the Yingchuan Marquis Mansion would have a scandal about the brothers' feud!

Therefore, when Zhou Shuyi's crime was exposed, neither her husband's family, the Yingchuan Marquis Mansion, nor her natal family, the third room of the Zhou family - the third room of the Zhou family, headed by Zhou Shigong, would let this matter become known to everyone. It was probably the result of the former's sudden "died of illness".However, this is what outsiders say, but for the Zhou and Zeng families who know the inside story, the situation may be more complicated.The Marquis of Yingchuan might ask for "compensation" from the Zhou family, and the Zhou family couldn't spare any money. After all, Zhou Shuyi's ridiculous behavior started not long after her wedding.He didn't educate this daughter well, so he married someone to another family and caused trouble. It is said that the third wife of the Zhou family is responsible.Even if the responsibility lies with Mrs. Ma, the latter has been married into the Zhou family for 50 years and has always been a virtuous person. The Zhou family cannot completely throw away the blame.

Mr. Zhou Ma sighed and said, "The master has been worrying about this matter for the past two days. He said that the Marquis of Yingchuan might send a few people over afterwards. He said that they were sending juniors here for training, but in fact, he didn't know what he was doing secretly. It’s an idea, but we can’t refuse it…”

Haitang blinked and reminded Zhou Ma: "Auntie, my grandfather said that day..."

"I know!" Zhou Ma interrupted Haitang before she could finish her words, "But our master's concerns are reasonable. The junior sent by the Marquis of Yingchuan is not capable of seizing power, but that junior did not come alone. , there must be a lot of followers around, those are the real masters! If these people understand the situation in the northwest, it will be much easier for the Marquis of Yingchuan to send his trusted generals to seize power in the future!"

Haitang thought to himself, Mr. Sun Ge had successfully bribed Du Boqin, a senior general of the northwest frontier army, so why did he need to send another person to collect intelligence about the northwest?

But then again, Sun Gelao and Yingchuan Houyuan were not from the same group, but they were both Emperor Deguang's confidants.Even if the Sun family collects any useful information, they may not be willing to share it with Marquis Yingchuan.Then it is normal for Marquis Yingchuan to want to find another way.His family was also a frontier general back then, but after entering Beijing, he no longer interfered with the affairs of the frontier army, and instead allowed the Zhou family to catch up.

His family's position in the Forbidden Army is quite secure now, but it doesn't take a hundred days to make a fortune. Once Emperor Deguang dies and a new emperor succeeds to the throne, who can guarantee that the Yingchuan Marquis Mansion can always control the military power of the Forbidden Army?As emperor and courtier, the Zeng family has experienced low moments, so it is normal to prepare for a rainy day.If one day in the future, their family is deprived of the power of the imperial army by the new king, they can at least return to the northwest, become a family of border generals, and seek a comeback!
From this point of view, the Zeng family should be able to understand the difficulties faced by the Zhou family as side generals. In fact, there is no principled conflict between the two families and they can coexist harmoniously.As long as the emperor doesn't be suspicious of the Zhou family, no more married women like Zhou Shuyi will cause trouble...

Haitang was silent in thought, but she heard Zhou Yijun raise a question: "Is the previous killer named Zhang Pinggui really raised by my great-aunt? He said that his father died while working for my great-aunt. What kind of errand was it? Do you still need to use human life to fill it? Doesn't this Zhang Pinggui always hold a grudge against his great-aunt? But he is willing to come to the northwest to kill people for his great-aunt... Not to mention traveling such a long distance in the middle of winter, it is too early now A little while ago. Prince Yingchuan is coming to the northwest for training, at least next year. The place hasn't been decided yet, so why did Zhang Pinggui come here so early?"
