Reborn after pregnancy, I will torture you and marry you into the royal family

Chapter 40 Mother and Son Conspiracy

That night, Lin Yitong had a fever. Mrs. Xiao ordered someone to take a look and then went back.

Early the next morning, Hua Qingmu received news that the Marquis of Ding'an was accused of blasphemy against the queen, and there was a possibility of rebellion. The Marquis's title was deprived of her hereditary title.

Lin Songyu was originally expected to be promoted to the crown prince this year and succeed Mr. Lin in the hereditary line. After this, there was absolutely no hope.

In other words, since the current Marquis Lin Tingsong, Ding'an Marquis has ceased to exist.

When Lin Yitong got the news, he realized the seriousness of the matter.

People from Ding'an Hou Mansion came to take her back that day.

Before going back, Xiao Yuankai and Mrs. Xiao both went to see them off. Marquis Ding'an looked very cold and ignored them at all.

Xiao Yuankai knew that he was blaming someone for something happening while he was staying at Xiao Mansion.

He felt aggrieved inexplicably. It was obviously Yitong Taizuo who caused a series of things, and now his Xiao family is still being criticized.

After sending Lin Yitong away, Xiao Yuankai followed Madam Xiao to Jin Yutang.

He hadn't settled the matters in the court yet, and something happened in the house again. He felt that everything was not going well recently.

Mrs. Xiao knew what was bothering him and explained:

"Kaier, didn't you say last time that an old man under you resigned and returned to his hometown?"

"Mother, I'm afraid this is inappropriate." As soon as Mrs. Xiao opened her mouth, Xiao Yuankai knew what his mother wanted to say.

If the Hua family enters the court, it may not be so easy to control.

Mrs. Xiao shook her head: "After the Yitong incident, your wife is complaining more and more about us. I'm afraid it will be a difficult road for her. If you can get Hua's eldest son into the court, give him a little The little fifth-grade doctor is still under your control, wouldn't it be easier to use the Hua family's property in the future!"

Xiao Yuankai carefully thought about the possibility of the matter. If he was just a small fifth-grade doctor, he would indeed not be able to find the palm of his hand.

It's really time to give the Hua family a little sweetness so that the Hua family can continue to support him.

"I will consider this matter carefully. Right now my son has another matter and needs his mother's help urgently."

Mrs. Xiao knew what he wanted to say and sighed softly: "I know, how much more is left?"

"Mother, although Fengwu has returned to Jinzhi Yuyefang after nine days, her son has already been given away. The son has paid fifty thousand taels in advance. Now there is still seventy thousand taels of silver left to fill the vacancy of Jinzhi Yuyefang. You see..."

Mrs. Xiao motioned to Mother Li to get 70,000 taels.

"Son, this is all my mother has. You should take it for emergencies first."

Xiao Yuankai held the 70,000 taels he had just taken from Mrs. Xiao in his hand, feeling quite uncomfortable.

He took out another fifty thousand taels from his arms, and with a dark face asked his personal attendant Xiao Shu to give away golden branches and jade leaves.

There is pressure from above. General Lin is about to go on an expedition. He has not yet obtained the money to send to support the rear areas of the border.

He had to find a way to speed up the cannibalization of the Hua family's industry.

Otherwise, relying solely on the support of the Hua family will make it difficult to move forward if something goes wrong.

Fu Fung Court

In the past few days, Hua Qingmu had eaten well, slept well, and was full of energy.

Danzhu came over with a letter in his hand.

"Madam, it's a letter from the eldest young master."

When Hua Qingmu heard that it was her eldest brother's letter, she immediately beamed.

"Brother is finally willing to write a letter. Please show it to me quickly."

He took the letter, opened it, and looked at it carefully, but his beautiful eyebrows immediately furrowed.

When Danzhu saw that his wife looked wrong, he quickly asked: "Madam, what happened?"

The latter shook his head.

"It's nothing. It's just that Xiao Yuankai actually recommended my eldest brother to be a doctor in the Ministry of Household Affairs." She always felt that things were not that simple.

In the last life, the Hua family never entered the court. They only had money but no power, and they were eventually eaten down to nothing.

After her rebirth, she thought that if she had the chance, she would let her brother join the court, so that at least the Hua family would have an extra layer of protection.

No matter what Xiao Yuankai planned next, this step coincided with her plan.

"That's a good thing, madam. The eldest young master is talented in poetry and calligraphy, and he has obtained the title of imperial examination early. It's just that he was burdened by the family's industry, otherwise he would have been the number one scholar!"

Hua Qingmu was amused by her rare and witty words, and said happily: "As your little mouth can say, you have been assimilated to Qingfu after staying with her for a long time."

"Who was assimilated by the slaves?" Qingfu asked curiously when she saw the two of them smiling happily after entering the door.

After understanding the matter clearly, I was also happy for my wife and young master.

"Madam, I have found out everything you asked me to investigate."

He walked to the table, poured two glasses of water and drank it.

Then he said: "She lives in a small village in the eastern suburbs. You guessed it right. Her adopted brother has been ill recently. She will go to offer incense in a few days to pray for him."

My wife seems to be able to predict what will happen in the future recently. If they hadn't been waiting for her all the time, she would have thought that she had changed her mind.

But Madam is originally smart, but she just doesn't want to make calculations.

Now that she has been forced into this by the Xiao family less than three months after getting married, it is no wonder that Madam Ru has become a different person!
  "On the day she goes to burn incense, you all will follow me, and I'll find a few people who are good at martial arts to follow me."

"Yes, madam. In addition, I also heard some news from Zhao Yi and Zhao Er."

Hua Qingmu looked at her and motioned for her to continue.

"The Zhao brothers said that they followed Miss Lin all the way to the Ding'an Marquis Mansion and hid themselves there, and they took turns watching."

"Yulan found two men from outside and entered the house. Their behavior was very suspicious. After the two men came out, Zhao Yi followed them secretly and found that they stopped leaving near Xiao's house and found a tea shop. I order two portions of melon seeds and peanuts inside every day, and just keep an eye on us."

"This slave was also watched by them when he went out this time. Fortunately, Zhao Yi and Zhao Er were smart. They took advantage of the turning point to pull the slave to a place where they could not find it, and informed the slave of the situation."

"Later, when the slave came back, he paid special attention to the tea shop diagonally opposite. It was true."

Hua Qingmu pondered, Lin Yitong's step was within her expectation.

"Qinghui, prepare twenty taels of silver. The next time you see Zhao Yi and Zhao Er, give them as a reward and ask them to keep an eye on the Ding'an Hou Mansion. If there is any movement, they will report immediately."

Based on her understanding of Lin Yitong, she was determined not to let it go just like what happened in Zuo Xiang's Mansion.

Since there has been no movement in the past few days, her next move will definitely be big.

"Yes, ma'am."

Fortunately, Madam was smart and told her to make arrangements as soon as the banquet at Zuo Xiangfu came out.

"Madam, I also want to know something."

Danzhu rarely smiled: "We, Qinghui, have gained a lot today."

Qinghui glanced at the banana in her hand and made a grimace.

Although Hua Qingmu's eyes were fixed on the book, she did not read it in. Instead, she lazily said: "But what's going on in the Zhang Mansion?"

Qingqi opened her mouth in an "O" shape and said in surprise: "Madam, how did you know? The Zhang family has called several doctors, but they all said that Miss Zhang's face cannot be cured, and she is afraid that scars will remain."

Danzhu said sympathetically: "It's pitiful that she is as young as a flower, but her face has been disfigured before she got engaged. I'm afraid it will be difficult to find a husband in the future."

Hua Qingmu didn't know what she was thinking. She looked down at the book in her hand, her watery eyes unblinking.

After a long time, he said to Danzhu: "Go and get the red saddle-shaped box from the innermost cabinet."

Danzhu took it as instructed.

"Madam, do you want to heal Miss Zhang's face?"
