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

Chapter 554 Intention
Haijiao and Haitang looked at each other. Both brother and sister came to their senses.

Hai Jiao thought about it carefully and felt that it was too easy for him to find out the information this time. He didn't do anything at first, but he heard about it in the health school. Then news came out from Dusi Yamen, and he found out without much effort. In contrast, Wu Ke, the nephew who was supposed to be closest to Mrs. Gui, hesitated and refused to say anything. It was Hai Jiao who used the spy skills he had learned in his previous life to get a few words out of him.

If the Zhenguo Duke's office really intended to block the news, it would be impossible for him to find out the inside story of Brother Guiji's betrayal of the Seventh Prince so easily. Even if Zhou Yijun's cousins ​​wouldn't hide it from him, they wouldn't be able to let him find out so quickly. He would have to put in some effort.

But if the Zhenguo Government did it on purpose, maybe it was in partnership with Tu Rong of Dusi Yamen, and used various channels to spread the news... All of this can be explained!

Not to mention that a person like him who is interested in inquiring can easily find out the news. Even uninformed passers-by will hear some rumors one after another from others, right?
Hai Jiao blinked and spoke softly: "Why is this? Does the Zhenguo Palace dislike Mrs. Gui? But Gui's brothers are not in Chang'an. Even if the people in the city know what they have done, What's the use?"

Haitang thought for a while: "Brother Guijia is not the point. There will naturally be people in the capital who will deal with them. I guess the Duke of Zhenguo is going to Mrs. Gui. It's hard to tell whether the news released is completely true. Maybe How many lies were included in it? But now that Mrs. Gui is under house arrest, and there are rumors that she is ill, it is impossible to clarify in front of others. Even if something happens to her, outsiders can't blame the Zhenguo Government. What."

Hai Jiao paused for a moment: "So, although Mrs. Gui is one of the survivors of the Wu family, she still cares about her natal family and secretly revealed the news about the seventh prince to her natal brothers. As a result, her natal brother turned the information on to the Sun family. , almost harmed the Seventh Prince, so Mrs. Gui's faults were in vain...or rather her faults outweighed her merits. In the future, she can no longer use her status as the Wu family's daughter-in-law to make any excessive demands to the Wu clan's former students, even in Wu. Within the family, she is no longer qualified to suppress the Wu Ke and Wu Qiong brothers based on her seniority."

In addition, Mrs. Gui is now ill. She claims to be popular with the Zhou family, but the gossip from the Zhenguo Palace shows that she was actually stabbed in the back by her natal brother. Not only did her brother not accept her suggestion to support the seventh prince's succession, but he also harmed the seventh prince and blocked her future. It was obvious that he no longer cared about her as a sister. This is naturally a big blow to someone like her who is obsessed with seeking the welfare of her natal brothers.

At the same time, the revelation of brother Gui's informant also left a very bad impression on the royal family. No matter whether it is Emperor Deguang, the seventh prince or the eighth prince who sits on the dragon throne in the future, it is impossible to reuse them. Mrs. Gui only has these two brothers. The end of their future means that Guijia is destined to decline. How can Mrs. Gui not be anxious?

Therefore, no matter how severe Mrs. Gui's illness is, it is still the fault of her natal brothers and has nothing to do with the Zhou family, nor her daughter or nephew. She wants to shift this responsibility to others, which will only ruin her reputation and make more and more people think that she is a person with bad character. She would never again kidnap anyone morally in the name of the Seventh Prince. She herself is not upright, so why should she point fingers at others?
After analyzing Haijiao one by one, he felt that the Zhenguo Palace had really put a lot of effort into dealing with Mrs. Gui, but this was too troublesome: "I guess the seventh prince really values ​​this aunt. He will not alienate her because of the sins committed by his brother Guiji. At most, he will think that she is soft-hearted and easy to deceive, and she has trusted the wrong person. "

Haitang said: "Isn't the Seventh Prince in poor health? The Emperor has no intention of appointing him as Crown Prince. Even if he does, Wu Ke will still be in the Wu family. The Seventh Prince will use people from his mother's family to promote Wu. It's enough for Ke, but it won't benefit the Gui family who have betrayed the Wu family's allies. As long as the Gui family brothers can't get ahead, Mrs. Gui can only make a small splash in the circle of female relatives. Besides, I doubt it will be a success. She can't even get this little limelight. Now that the Seventh Prince has been cleared, the Emperor will naturally find out who was responsible for the Sixth Prince's death. How could he spare Madam Gui, the culprit? "

Hai Jiao raised his eyebrows: "To be honest, if the seventh prince really values ​​this aunt, and the emperor doesn't want to spare Mrs. Gui, then the best thing to do is... let Mrs. Gui die in Chang'an, or die of a normal illness , rather than being murdered, lest anyone find fault with the Zhou family for not taking good care of and protecting people. "Just like the Jin family's house in the previous life. Jin Jiashu's family was involved in an incident outside Chang'an City, and Jin Jiashu's whereabouts were very likely to be unknown. Concubine Xu Xian was angry with the Zhou family, believing that they did not protect their eldest son well, so after the new king succeeded to the throne, he would not treat the wife and children of Duke Zhen Guo who came to Beijing. Although they were salty, they did not look at them differently because of Empress Dowager Zhou.

Haitang understood the meaning of her brother's words, pursed her lips and smiled: "Now that it is brother Guiji who has made Mrs. Gui sick, then even if her illness worsens from then on, and she even cannot afford to fall ill, can't we blame the Zhou family? The seventh prince only needs to bear grudges against his brother Gui. The Zhenguo family has done their best, but why can’t Mrs. Gui think about it? "

Hai Jiao couldn't help but laugh and tilted his head: "There is another benefit to this matter. The third bedroom of the Zhou family was gossiped about by Mrs. Ma a lot. But now his family is forced to hide by Mrs. Gui. Going out of the city is like a poor person who was innocently implicated. There will be more people who sympathize with his family and fewer people will gossip. When the filial piety period is over, it will be much easier for the third-family member of the Zhou family to make a comeback. "

Haitang pondered for a moment: "It would be a good idea to take this opportunity to let Mrs. Gui and Wu Ke and Wu Qiong's brother and sister separate. Mrs. Gui made a big mistake herself and got sick again, so she had to rest. As for Wu Ke and Wu Qiong's upbringing, Zhen The Duke's Mansion will naturally take over and will not let Mrs. Gui arrange their lives haphazardly."

She sighed: "I estimate that after Wu Qiong moves out of the small courtyard, she will not easily go back to live with her mother. Wu Ke will no longer be oppressed by his aunt and can concentrate on his studies. The lives of their brothers and sisters will be the same Life is much easier. "Of course, Wu Qiong is Mrs. Gui's biological daughter after all. Even if she understands the truth, she will definitely feel uncomfortable. Haitang planned to write more letters to her in the future, saying some words of enlightenment and comfort.

Hai Jiao was thoughtful: "Wu Ke will be much better off in the future. In fact, his homework is not bad. If he studies hard for a few years, it will not be difficult to become a scholar, but he is not sure about being a scholar. But as long as he has With his fame, he would not have disgraced the family. In a few years, the government would arrange for him to marry a daughter-in-law and give birth to a child. Even if the Wu family could not be as wealthy as before, at least they would be able to inherit the family. Have a peaceful life.”

That's enough. Many of Wu Wen'an's disciples and old friends only have this greatest expectation for Wu Ke, the only remaining member of the Wu family. They don't expect him to really become a famous scholar or to return to the center of power in the imperial court and become a high-ranking official. Show elegance. The Wu family suffered a catastrophe and suffered heavy casualties. It is not known how many years it will take to recover. It is enough to live a peaceful life.

As for those who are just related to the Wu family, want to eat the Wu family's human blood buns, and use the tragedy of his family to seek benefits for their own family... don't have such a big dream!
When something happened to the Wu family, they didn't share the trouble. Now that the Wu family is expected to regain its status, why should they benefit from it?
