The mistress of the Hou family went crazy after doting on concubines and killing their wives.

Chapter 233 Either you die or I die
The three people in the room were stunned. After Xie Zhiyan stopped for a long time, the three of them suppressed their grief and anger and let out a sigh of relief.

"Now, it's time to close the net." Xie Zhiyan said in a deep voice.

"Have you arranged everything? Do you need me to go back to the palace?"

Feng Wenjun calmed down and decided to be a support for her children while she stood up on her own.

Xie Zhiyan looked at his aunt: "Aunt, do you still have feelings for... His Majesty?"

"Love?" Feng Wenjun sneered: "He allowed the Lu family to kill my whole family, how could I have love? I didn't kill him myself, but for Haoyu's sake."

Li Haoyu's eyes were red, and his fists were clenched. "Father has no affection in his eyes, only his power! I went through thousands of dangers to return to Beijing, and was framed and hunted. Do you know who did it?"

Qin Wan's eyes widened: "Who?"

"The assassins raised by my father, the Dark Armor Guards!"

"They are also the group of people who attacked us." Xie Zhiyan explained.

Qin Wan was speechless for a long while before she suddenly thought of something: "Are they also the assassins that Lu Chongshan mobilized?"

"That's right." Xie Zhiyan nodded.

"I borrowed Yan Yunhe's identity to control the Imperial City Department, which controls all the handles of the court officials. Yan Yunhe is dead, and the Lu family and Li Haochuan thought that you had lost your support. They took the opportunity of the prince not returning to the palace to meet with the emperor and took the opportunity to attack you."

"Did you do this on purpose?" Qin Wan's eyes lit up.

Xie Zhiyan smiled approvingly: "Smart."

Qin Wan's ears suddenly turned red.

"The fish has been hooked now." Xie Zhiyan smiled slightly, "They still need to fight among themselves."

"Do you have a good idea?" Qin Wan couldn't help but ask again.

"Look how anxious you are. I'm here and there's naturally a way." Xie Zhiyan said with a hint of pampering in his tone.

"Aunt should know who is the one who is not in harmony with Lu Chongshan."

"Of course it's Duke Sun." Feng Wenjun didn't even think about it.

"Yes. Duke Sun wanted his legitimate daughter to enter the palace, but she was defeated by Concubine Lu who entered the palace in the same year, and she was also disabled. All the women sent to the palace by the Sun family were quietly dealt with by Concubine Lu. The noble family gradually let Lu Chongshan take the top spot, and Duke Sun had only an empty title, occupying the title of Duke, but gradually fell behind. How could they be willing to accept this?"

"Yes. I never get involved in things in the palace. When they fight each other, I turn a blind eye. But I still have to protect one person." Feng Wenjun nodded slowly.

Li Haoyu's eyes turned: "The fifth child's mother, Concubine Yi Guipin?"

"That's right." Feng Wenjun nodded.

Li Yuyi suddenly realized, "Yes, Concubine Yi is usually obedient and docile, like an invisible person. If she hadn't given birth to my fifth brother, I'm afraid my father would have forgotten her. I remember that it was my mother who gave her the title of Concubine. At that time, I didn't understand why, because I knew she was a member of the Sun family. With the domineering Concubine Lu in the palace, and another member of the Sun family, my mother's life will be even more difficult."

"When she became pregnant, I had also just been pregnant with Haoyu. I took her to my side and took care of her, and she successfully gave birth to the prince." Feng Wenjun said slowly.

"I checked her identity. She entered the palace as the legitimate daughter of the Sun family, and was given the title of noble lady as soon as she entered the palace. It was obvious that she was sent in by the Sun family to consolidate their favor. At that time, Concubine Lu was still a concubine, and the eldest son was only three years old. Naturally, the Lu family was on guard."

"It's not difficult to control her, because her biological mother is of low status, a foot-washing maid, and she gave birth to this Sun girl because she climbed into the bed of a branch of the Sun family. Because she is beautiful, and because Sun family sent several daughters to be adopted, they all died, so they adopted her to the second son of Lady Lu, the wife of Duke Sun, as the legitimate granddaughter and sent her to the palace. I think it is also possible that Duke Sun also threatened Lady Lu to warn Concubine Lu, otherwise, no matter how much I protect her, I can't save her life."

Li Yuyi tilted his head and thought for a while: "This person is indeed different from the Sun girl and the Lu girl. She is very cautious and careful."

Feng Wenjun nodded: "People who come from the lower classes cherish their lives very much once they gain wealth and glory."

Qin Wan looked at Xie Zhiyan: "Do you want the Fifth Prince to use the Sun family to deal with the Lu family?"

The girl's almond-shaped eyes widened, and she looked as excited as if she had discovered a new continent. Her whole person became more lively, and Xie Zhiyan's heart moved.

He raised his lips and smiled: "My wife is really smart."

Qin Wan: “……!”

Her eyebrows were knitted and her almond-shaped eyes glared.

Xie Zhiyan raised his eyebrows and looked at her with a smile.

The other three shuddered.

Li Haoyu touched his arm and said, "Cousin, please stop being so cheesy. There are other people here."

Feng Wenjun looked at them flirting with each other and couldn't help laughing: "That's great. I hope you can live a sweet life like this and continue the Feng family's incense as soon as possible." Qin Wan quickly turned her head and said coquettishly: "My dear! He is obviously making fun of me."

"It doesn't sound like that to me." Feng Wenjun pretended to be serious and asked, "How dare you make fun of Wan'er and treat Wan'er badly? We will not forgive you."

"Of course I don't dare. I'll obey your command." Xie Zhiyan continued with a smile.

"Xie Zhiyan! Be serious!" Qin Wan turned her head and glared at him.

Xie Zhiyan stopped laughing and regained his serious expression: "Madam, please don't be upset. There is something that requires Madam and my cousin to act out a scene."

Qin Wan glared at him angrily.

When did this guy learn to smile so frivolously?

Li Yuyi looked at the two of them, her eyes slightly red: "You tell me. I will do it."

"You know that the Crown Prince's first choice for the Crown Princess was Lu Liuli, right?"

Li Yuyi and Qin Wan nodded.

Li Haoyu snorted: "She wishes."

Xie Zhiyan smiled slowly: "The prince doesn't need to be anxious. Now the Lu family is determined to dethrone the prince, and the Lu family will definitely support Li Haochuan as the prince. Then, Lu Liuli will naturally marry Li Haochuan."

Li Yuyi's eyes lit up, "Ah, Li Haochuan already has a wife, Sun Ruyun. She is the legitimate daughter of the second wife of Duke Sun."

Qin Wan searched her mind and found that Sun Ruyun seemed to be dead?
The time has not come yet.

Qin Wan suddenly understood: "The Lu family will definitely take action against her, so let's start with her to make Sun Guogong and Wen Xinhou completely tear each other apart!"

"Yes." Xie Zhiyan looked at her with a smile.

Qin Wan was afraid that he would say something irrelevant again, so she quickly replied, "Then let's find a chance to push Lu Liuli out and let Sun Ruyun deal with her."

"Not only that, the Lu family has a big secret. Once we have made the Lu and Sun families a mess, we can strike hard."

"The big secret of the Lu family?" Qin Wan was curious. Seeing Xie Zhiyan's slow pace, she couldn't help but kick him.

"Don't keep me in suspense."

Xie Zhiyan stared at Qin Wan's embroidered shoes with wide eyes.

Qin Wan quickly retracted her foot.

How could you be so bold as to kick someone in public?

Before she felt shy, Xie Zhiyan looked at Li Yuyi and asked, "Cousin, did you notice anything wrong with Shen Wenting?"

Li Yuyi was stunned for a while: "Could it be... true?"

Xie Zhiyan nodded: "Really."

"Beast!" Li Yuyi couldn't help but punch the coffee table hard, and the teacup bounced twice.

"What's wrong?" Qin Wan and Li Haoyu asked curiously.

Li Yuyi glanced at them and said nothing. After all, they were still an inexperienced boy and girl.

"But how can people believe such a thing without real evidence? It is too inhumane after all!"

"What if Shen Wenting exposed it herself?" Xie Zhiyan sneered.

"The Shen family has only one daughter. Mr. and Mrs. Shen Zhang love Shen Wenting like a treasure. If they knew that their daughter was abused by a beast, what would they do?"

Feng Wenjun frowned and said, "This action will ultimately ruin a girl's reputation. It's not appropriate."

Xie Zhiyan was silent for a while: "Then listen to my aunt. Don't start with the women."

Qin Wan seemed to have guessed something.

She knew that the Queen's Concubine was kind-hearted, otherwise, she would have endured in the harem for many years and allowed Concubine Lu to bully her without any desire to fight.

But she knew.

In front of these inhuman beasts, it's either you die or I die!
