Don’t be too poisonous to the concubine of the Wu family who was born in Wu

Chapter 2769 725. Eight Treasures of Jade Food (The princes of Shangguan analyze the inner thoughts of the Marquis of Shangguan)
  "Yes... Eunuch Cen is an old man in the palace. You will think of the princes like this... My father, who is generous on the outside and taboo on the inside, is even more so..."

The words spoken by Eunuch Cen were exactly what the Shangguan princes were thinking. He knew very well what kind of person his father was, and the personality he had been trying to maintain would most likely collapse in an instant due to his own selfishness.

Over the years, he has been playing the role of a generous, sensible, tolerant and generous brother in front of his father. He loves and favors his younger brothers in all kinds of ways, just like a role model of a big brother, without any selfish motives.

And when he got this piece of silk handkerchief, to be honest, he was excited for a moment. Why didn't he think about taking this piece of evidence and sending it to His Majesty the Dragon King, so that he could be his strong enemy? For the sake of death, even if he couldn't kill Shangguan Marquis, he could at least make his father think of him.

But when the Shangguan princes calmed down and thought rationally, they discovered that there was a big hole behind this piece of silk handkerchief, a hole big enough for their efforts to maintain the character to collapse!

As I thought, the hypocritical image I had worked so hard to maintain over the years had almost come to naught under the temptation of this little silk handkerchief.

so--

This is the beginning of Marquis Shangguan's declaration of war on himself!
  A piece of seemingly inconspicuous silk handkerchief is a letter of challenge and a serious warning.

He is warning the Shangguan princes not to treat me, Marquis Shangguan, like a monkey. I, Marquis Shangguan, am not a fool without a brain. You are too smart to make you plot again and again.

Eunuch Cen saw the gloom on the faces of the Shangguan princes and wanted to comfort him, but he had no choice but to stand quietly and watch the situation develop.

The Shangguan princes took the silk handkerchief and looked at it for a long time, and began to envision various possibilities in their minds.

After a long time, he opened his mouth to analyze the situation——

"As I thought, if I didn't want to show up by myself and presented this silk handkerchief through other forces, I could be picked off cleanly, but things would definitely not develop as I expected. As I thought, a piece of silk handkerchief It is true that my second brother cannot be convicted of a crime. To kill him, Tan Dalang must have witnesses, material evidence, and a motive for the murder. This physical evidence is enough, but what about the witness? I am just confused. Who told him this? Marquis Shangguan, where is the place where Tan Dalang cast the spell?"

"This... I don't even know about this... If not... the eldest prince should send someone to investigate..."

"Well, let's not talk about this, let's just talk about the motive for the murder. My second brother didn't talk about his motive for killing Tan Dalang. He also said that if he was really forced to tell the truth, I think I My father will definitely not punish my second brother. He will definitely not have any sympathy for an elder brother who cannot tolerate his younger brother. He may even reward the Marquis for this. I don’t know. , that Sanlang of the Tan family is just a prostitute. In the eyes of the father, they are just playthings. No matter how noble they are, they can't be more noble than their own sons, right? After all, Tan Dalang's death is not a glorious thing, let alone I can't afford to let people dig deeper. If we dig deeper into the motive of his murder, it will only enhance the character of my second brother and make my father regard him more seriously. I have gained face. , but lost favor, this is not the result I want."

Thinking of this, the Shangguan princes simply threw the silk handkerchief aside and continued to analyze: "That's all, it's just an abandoned son. I don't want to make this matter worse, but in the end it will develop the character of my second brother. The most important thing in the Quan Clan is not right or wrong, but the pros and cons! Only by being respected and favored by the father is the foundation for survival in the Quan Clan. I will never give him the possibility of Shangguan Marquis to get ahead. God has given him too many opportunities and luck, but what about me? I live so tiredly, and I have tried my best just to stop my father from pursuing his Shangguan Marquis. I will never let that kid have any chance. Opportunity to ascend!”

Hearing this, Eunuch Cen nodded with interest, because he felt that what the Shangguan princes said was very reasonable. "The eldest prince has great foresight, and even the younger prince would not have thought this through. If it were the younger prince... he would have acted impulsively and presented the silk handkerchief without any delay, waiting for the second prince to come out. matter."

The princes of Shangguan smiled slightly and said: "Eunuch Cen's thoughts are very understandable. In fact... to be honest, the moment they saw this physical evidence, the princes also had the idea of ​​​​putting Shangguan Marquis to death, but When I think about it carefully, I feel that this matter is not as simple as it seems..."

"Well... I would like to ask the eldest prince for some advice..."

"Our Shangguan family is not as simple as it seems on the surface. My father is not as generous as others think, and I am not as weak as others think, and my second brother is not as smart as others think. Simple and well-developed limbs, the Shangguan family's greatest skills are disguise and acting. In order to survive, we will play our respective roles well and make others feel comfortable to get along with each other. In fact... only we know what we think in our hearts. . Haha~ I know my father, just as my father knows me; I also know my brother’s character well, and his disguise is just a way to compete with me... Haha~ So—— From this moment on, he has decided not to pretend to be brotherly with me, right?"

Thinking of this, Lord Shangguan cast his gaze on the bloody silk handkerchief again. After staring at it for a while, he gave another order——

"Eunuch Cen, please put this silk handkerchief away..."

Eunuch Cen was a little confused about the situation, but he still obeyed the order, "Okay! I will keep this silk handkerchief for the eldest prince. It will definitely come in handy in the future."

The Shangguan princes shook their heads helplessly and said: "It won't be of any use. The biggest role I have with him is to keep it as a souvenir..."

After hearing this, Eunuch Cen said again: "Keep it as a souvenir..."

"Yes... this is the last commemoration of the end of our brotherhood... because next... the battle between me and the Marquis will officially begin - he will never be as sincere to me as before... I understand him...the past days can never go back..."

As he said that, the Shangguan princes' eyes moved slightly, and a trace of loneliness and sadness flashed across their faces——

Maybe he cares about the brotherhood of Marquis Shangguan...

However, under the heavy influence of power, the so-called brotherhood is really an unattainable luxury...
