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

Chapter 423 The Duke of Zhen knew about it
After Aunt Ma finished speaking, Hai Jiao came back.

Xie Wenzai, Cao Gengyun and Lu Bainian stayed at the Zhenguo Palace. Haijiao left Cui Dazhuang at their disposal and returned first.

When Mrs. Ma saw her grandson, she quickly sent Aunt Ma and the others away and pulled Haijiao to question him carefully.

Of course, Hai Jiao would not tell his grandmother the confidential plan, so he only said vaguely: "The Duke of Zhen already knows about it. He said that there may not be any room for change on my uncle's part. Although Mrs. Ma's story may be true, But the uninformed family members may not be implicated. Now my uncle and the others are staying at the Zhenguo Gong's mansion to continue discussing the countermeasures with the Zhenguo Gong and his son. I am afraid that you will be worried, so I will come back tomorrow. Go over and ask them what they have come up with. Grandma, can you take a leave of absence from school for me tomorrow?"

If Hai Jiao wanted to take a leave of absence, all he had to do was ask his second uncle Hai Changan to go to the School of Health and send a message. But Hai Changan will not agree without a legitimate reason. At this time, Ma needs to step forward.

Ma thought of the current situation in her family. Her husband was away on a business trip, her cousin was staying at the Duke's Mansion, and it was difficult to deal with her eldest sister's adopted son. In this case, she could only let her grandson run errands, so she agreed. Come down: "I'm going to take a day off tomorrow. Remember to make up for your homework after that."

Hai Jiao quickly agreed.

Haitang said: "Grandma sent Uncle Cui and Aunt Cui to my uncle and grandpa's house. When my aunt and uncle found out what happened at my aunt's house, they flatly refused to get involved and told grandma to ignore it. Also, my aunt and grandma, Aunt Ma Came back with the news, I just told Grandma and me.”

Ma sighed: "That's the kind of person your aunt and grandma is...when you encounter difficulties, you can't count on her to help at all! She never thought that if Mrs. Ma is not a clan girl, but really someone with unknown origins Hu spies, the old aunt of the Ma family brought her to Chang'an, married her into the third room of the Zhou family, and caused the Zhou family to lure the wolf into the house. This means that nothing big happened, Mr. Ma! The spies they brought were just small troubles, and they didn't cause any big trouble. Otherwise, if the authorities were to hold them accountable, how could the Ma family escape at this time, if they didn't actively participate in it and find the real one? The culprit, if she takes away her own responsibility, does she think nothing will happen if she stays far away?"

Hai Jiao comforted her and said: "Since my uncle is such a confused person, we can't expect her to be of any help. It's better that we worry more and solve the problem. When we see our uncle later, we can tell him the truth. Okay. My uncle naturally knows the seriousness of the matter, and he will teach my uncle a lesson. "

"Well, I'm afraid he has the heart and the courage!" Ma snorted coldly, "Because of his poor health, he would have asked that woman to step on his head. As long as he can be cruel enough to teach his wife a lesson , can their family live like this?”

Haitang coughed slightly, and in order to divert her grandmother's attention, she quickly and concisely stated all the information conveyed by Aunt Ma.

As expected, Ma's attention was turned to Mrs. Ma's side: "That's right! Just the fact that Mrs. Ma and Mrs. Wang of Liangzhou were estranged twenty years ago can prove that the information she produced The letter is fake!"

Hai Jiao thoughtfully said: "The letter may not be false, but it is definitely not what Mrs. Ma said. It was Mrs. Wang who asked her to guide the Hu spies into Beijing. I guess the ones Mrs. Wang asked were serious merchants. , but because she also mentioned Lu Yin, she was used by Mrs. Ma to defend herself. This is because the Wang family is almost dead and there is no evidence that she dares to do this. "

Haitang said: "Even if there is no evidence, there are still insiders like the old lady from the fourteenth room of the Zhou family who have personally experienced the old events. They know that Mrs. Ma and Mrs. Wang have long been estranged. That letter will be exposed sooner or later. How will Mrs. Ma defend herself? Will she not think about the consequences when she comes up with such a letter? "Is it just to divert trouble?"

Hai Jiao frowned: "She is almost seventy years old, right? At this age, almost all her confidants were handcuffed away by Tu Rong. Is it possible that she still wants to escape? Where can she escape? Children and grandchildren Just leave them alone?" Ma said, "How much does she value her children? Her son has never been close to her. She has been away from Minzhou for so many years and has only seen her grandson. It's just a few meetings. She loves her daughter the most, and she sends money and things to the capital from time to time. But no matter how much she loves her, she won't go to the capital to visit her even once, for fear of being recognized by her acquaintances for twenty years! During this period, we only met Zhou Shuyi when she went back to Chang'an for marriage. If she can be so cruel, she is not a good mother who loves her children! "

Therefore, when necessary, Mrs. Ma can really leave her own flesh and blood and run away. The question is whether she has the ability and whether she can find someone to help.

Hai Jiao sighed: "This kind of thing still depends on my uncle. If the third room of the Zhou family is guarded tightly enough and Mrs. Ma is not given a chance to take advantage of the loopholes, she will not be able to escape even if she wants to. But just in case, I'd better mention it when I go to Zhenguo Duke's Mansion tomorrow."

Ma said: "You should tell the old man, you really can't count on your great-uncle for this kind of thing. If he was someone who could stand it, he wouldn't have been manipulated by Mrs. Ma for decades." . Just now, your aunt and cousin Yijun want to save themselves and ask the old lady of the 14th room for some information, but he has to come to stop them! I can find out.”

It's one thing that Mrs. Ma is estranged from the Wang family. The fourteenth room of the Zhou family is still related to the Wang family by marriage. She always knows more about the Wang family than others. Ma Shi really disliked her brother-in-law Zhou Shigong and felt that he was too much of a hindrance.

Hai Jiao just smiled at this: "It doesn't matter. My great-uncle was confused, but Lord Zhenguo is a sensible person. As long as he says a word, my great-uncle will obey his orders and will not stop my aunt from asking for information anymore."

Ma sighed: "Well, I hope they can quickly find out the identity of Mrs. Ma. As long as she is really a clan daughter who made mistakes and was expelled, the guilt on the third brother of the Zhou family will be reduced a little. If the Zhou family can make the decision, If you drive her away and don’t even leave her name in the family tree, then you can be relieved.”

Hai Jiao raised his eyebrows: "That will involve the children and future generations she gave birth to. I'm afraid my great-uncle won't be cruel enough. He has a good relationship with his brothers." Zhou Shicheng was brought up by his father to teach him since he was a child, and he and his mother also Not like a stranger. Only Zhou Shuyi was most influenced by her mother. Now that the conspiracy was exposed, she didn't know whether she was dead or alive in the Yingchuan Marquis' Mansion in the capital.

Ma was a little disapproving: "What's the point? Although the son of a married woman has an embarrassing status, as long as he strives for himself, he can still gain a foothold in the military. At worst, other tribesmen should take care of him more, it is better than leaving Mrs. Ma at home. , something happens from time to time, and one day the whole family will be harmed by her!"

It was getting late, and the second watch had already been sounded outside on the street. Haitang advised Ma to rest early and would go to Zhou's third room tomorrow to ask for follow-up information. Mrs. Ma thought about it, and after giving some instructions to her grandchildren, she called Aunt Cui to come and wash herself.

Haitang and Hai Jiao left the upper room and tugged on their brother's sleeves. Hai Jiao came to a quiet corner of the corner and whispered: "The Duke of Zhen already knows. He also thinks our idea is good. Although Cong Longzhi Merit may not bring good rewards, but the Eighth Prince is still young and has been educated by the Queen Mother, and Concubine Xu Xian has a good character, so I don't think she will be more mean and ungrateful than she is now..."

Haitang blinked: "Then what is he going to do? Tu Rong is in Chang'an, but the emperor is far away in the capital. It's not easy to get the upper hand."

Hai Jiao smiled: "So...he will find a way to hold Tu Rong off first. Since Tu Rong didn't send a letter to Jingzhong, the Zhou family will send the letter for him first..."
