The lucky little prince's doting wife

Chapter 197 There must be someone willing to be a pawn
In the small room of Wenyuan Pavilion, the eldest son covered his mouth and yawned. When he saw Father Lin finishing reading the letter in his hand, the eldest son put down his hand and asked, "What did the gentlemen say?"

Father Lin smiled, handed the autographed letter from Jiangnan Xunfu to his eldest son, and said, "Read it yourself."

The eldest son opened the letter and read it. It was a long letter with five pages of letter paper.After reading the letter carefully, the eldest son felt that the Lords were masters of talking nonsense. This letter, which was full of nonsense, actually made him write it with gorgeous words and high literary talent.

The gentlemen kept their posture very low in the letter, but their determination to go to Beijing and join the cabinet could not be changed. They kept saying that they would do things for the country and join the cabinet to assist Father Lin, and they also stated a full two-page report.

"If he really wanted to serve the country, he would not fight to the death with your father-in-law in Jiangnan and stop doing practical things," Father Lin said in a low voice.

The eldest son folded the letter and put it back on his father's desk. "It seems that he is sure that he can go to Beijing."

Father Lin: "Yes."

The eldest son: "Father, I have a doubt. Why did they involve the third prince? He should be their life-saving figure, and just use it like this?"

If it is confirmed that the third prince deceived the emperor, then he will never become the crown prince unless the third prince dies.

"If they just delay Ding You's time," the eldest son said, "will the price they pay be too high?"

They have put all their life-saving assets on the table, with a do-or-die attitude. However, no matter what the eldest son thinks, the Wei Party is not at the end of its rope, and now is not the time to reveal its last trump card.

Father Lin tapped his fingers on the table and said, "But for us, the temptation is too great."

If the third prince is defeated, the strength of the Wei family will be exhausted. Without the relationship of blood, no matter which other prince becomes the heir, it is impossible for the third prince to rely on the Wei family wholeheartedly.

I wonder if the Lin family and his son can resist such a temptation?
"My mind is always unsettled," the eldest son told his father truthfully: "This always seems to happen somewhere. Father, if we make a wrong step here, it is very likely that we will be doomed."

If Mrs. Hu is not dead, then what will happen to their behavior of insisting that an old lady who is above the first grade is dead, attacking Wei Shoufu for being unfilial, and forcing Wei Shoufu to die?

They will become evil ministers who want to seize power, they will become evil-hearted villains, and they will have no place in the government.Because morally, they have failed completely, and no one in the world will tolerate their father and son.

Mr. Lin didn't want to admit that making this decision scared him. The fruits of victory were what he dreamed of, but he couldn't bear the consequences of failure.

Father Lin looked at his eldest son.

The eldest son made Father Lin feel a little uneasy and said, "Father?"

Father Lin: "Since we still can't be completely sure, let's not show up."

Let others lead the charge while they stay in the background?
Eldest Young Master: “Where are the candidates?”

If Wei Shoufu and Hu Cifu form an alliance this time, then the person who comes forward will have no effect if his status is low.

Father Lin lowered his eyes at the table in front of him and said, "Your father-in-law will write a letter."

The eldest son's eyes suddenly widened. He wanted to stand up but held back.

"He intercepted Zhu Liu's private message," Father Lin whispered: "The private message said that Mrs. Hu of the Wei Mansion died of illness. Wei Shengwen decided to wait until he came to Beijing before reporting his mother's death."

The heat drained from the eldest son's body bit by bit. The eldest son said, "What if it fails?"

Father Lin: "That means the private message was forged, and your father-in-law was also deceived."

Eldest Young Master: "Is it just that?"

The father and son were sitting across a table. Father Lin wanted to pat his son's hand to express comfort, but he couldn't. "We have a countermeasure, so that's all." Father Lin said to the eldest son, "Since it's If you gamble, you will lose and win."

Eldest Young Master: "Why is it my father-in-law?"

"Because Zhu Liu is the governor of Jiangnan, and he is the governor of Liangjiang," Father Lin said, "only your father-in-law is suitable."

Two people are officials in the same place, and there is a deep hatred between them. It is not impossible for one person to intercept the other person's letters.With these prerequisites, even if they fail in this matter in the end, they will be able to change their minds and not let the Wei party attack them for their great virtue.

Father Lin believes that if the price is just this, then he is willing to take a gamble because he can afford to lose, but Wei Shengwen cannot afford to lose.

But the eldest son asked again: "My father-in-law actually agreed?"

Father Lin: "If we lose, your father-in-law will no longer be able to stay in Liangjiang." In a relationship where both gain and lose, why should Mr. Cao refuse?
"Just like the two generals Zhou and Wen," the eldest son sighed.

Father Lin said calmly: "You can still say it, just like your teacher."

Over the years, more than just Generals Zhou and Wen have been sacrificed?

The color on the eldest son's face instantly faded.

Father Lin couldn't tell that he felt sorry for his son, "If you don't want to, then I'll let Yan Yi take care of this matter."

Eldest Young Master: "How will the second brother take care of this matter?"

Father Lin looked at his eldest son.

The eldest son slowly loosened his clenched hands and whispered: "I understand."

"Don't tell Mr. Cao about this in advance," Father Lin said again.

The eldest son nodded.

The second young master arrived at this time and saw the eldest young master. The second young master said, "So the eldest brother is here too."

Father Lin waved to the second young master and said, "Come closer."

"Yes," the second young master walked to Father Lin's desk.

"Is it a matter of money and food?" After reading the official document given by Father Lin, the second young master said, "Father, do you want me to take care of this matter?"

Father Lin: "Your elder brother will take care of the affairs of the old lady of the Wei family."

The second young master turned to look at the eldest young master.

The eldest son smiled at his younger brother, his expression was not good, but by this time the eldest son had returned to normal.

The second young master laughed and said, "Great, I'm just afraid of trouble."

"Ha," Father Lin sneered.

"What about your decision, father?" the second young master asked in a low voice.

Father Lin: "Old Mrs. Hu has died of illness."

The second young master understood, "Is this news confirmed?" The second young master asked again.

If they failed in their judgment on this matter, it would be no joke. The second young master actually didn't dare to think about it, so he would rather ask his father and brother like a nagging ghost.

"Yeah," Father Lin hummed.

"Where's the eldest brother?" The second young master turned to look at the eldest young master.

The eldest son said: "I will make arrangements."

If this thing fails and they can no longer protect Mr. Cao, then between him and the Cao family, if the eldest son smiles bitterly, they will not be able to be husband and wife, right?

"When will it start?" The second young master asked again.

Father Lin: "The book about Wei Shengwen should have entered the palace by now."

The eldest son clenched his fists tightly again, so quickly, and neither his father nor his father-in-law, who was far away in Liangjiang, even mentioned a word to him about this matter.

"Brother?" Feeling someone shaking his shoulder, the eldest son looked up and found that the second son was already standing in front of him.

"What's wrong with you?" The second young master looked at his brother with concern.
