Chapter 60 Three Alliances
But Jiang also knew in his heart that since Su Wan gave him such an expensive gift, no matter what happened to her, he could accept the gift and then discuss it with her slowly. Su Wan dared not be against her. How about yourself.

Hearing Jiang Shi's question, Su Wan lowered her head and pretended to be extremely sad, then raised her head and forced a smile at Jiang Shi: "The thief, my father has already sent him to the capital, so I think he will deal with it according to the law."

Su Huaiyuan just informed everyone that Zhai Lingxiao was sent to the Kyoto Prefecture, and the Kyoto Prefecture sent him down.However, based on Su Wan's understanding of Su Huaiyuan, whether the one sent to the capital was dead or alive was debatable.

Although Jiang shi who was sitting next to him saw the thief that night, but the thief was taken away by Su Huaiyuan in the end, Jiang shi didn't know what happened to him in the end.Hearing what Su Wan said at this time, I wanted to find out in my heart.

Just as he was about to ask, the Yuan family on the other side had already said, "Wan'er, what's going on? If that thief really wanted to steal jade and incense, how could elder brother hand him over to the capital? First, where will we save the face of the mighty Marquis Mansion?"

Today, only Su Wan from the Jiang clan and the Yuan clan were present. The Yuan clan, who was a little restrained in front of the eldest lady, had to let go completely at this moment, and regarded himself as the master of the mighty Marquis Mansion, speaking in this tone all the time .

Hearing Yuan's words, Su Wan didn't refute, but just lowered her head, then shook her head lightly and said, "Since it's father's decision, Wan'er naturally has no reason to object. What's more, Wan'er was just frightened. in the way."

Although Jiang Shi also felt that elder brother did something inappropriate, he was not as ignorant as Yuan Shi, who said whatever came to his mind.In this Marquis Mansion, one must be cautious at all times, cautious in words and deeds, and beware of anyone.

The Yuan family frowned slightly when she heard Wan'er's words, and then said to Su Wan: "Wan'er, it's not the second aunt who is talking about you. How can you be so weak? Let's not mention that the thief was sent to the capital for justice. But the defense in the backyard is so negligent, shouldn't the guards in this mansion be thoroughly checked?"

Although the Yuan family was a little outspoken, but after so many years of struggling in the Hou's mansion, he naturally saw the weirdness of this matter.The difference is that the Yuan family said it out, but the Jiang family buried these things deeply in their hearts.

What's more, in Yuan's view, this is an excellent opportunity to attack the eldest lady.If the backyard of the Hou Mansion allows such flower-picking thieves to come and go at will, then how safe is there in the Hou Mansion?If it's done well, maybe the lady can be pulled down!

Hearing Yuan's arrogant words, Su Wan knew very well that Yuan wanted to stand out and cry to the old lady. At that time, Yuan said a few more words in the old lady's ear, and maybe she would be able to kill the old lady. Take some of the rights in your hands.

Jiang shi on the side also heard the meaning of Yuan shi's words. Seeing that Yuan shi was so unscrupulous, she carefully echoed, "Wan'er, what the second sister-in-law said is very true. If this is the case, just let it go. , I’m afraid I’ll have to sleep with one eye open in the future.”

In fact, why didn't Su Wan know this?It's just that my father had already sternly reprimanded the eldest lady and the eldest young master yesterday, and it was extremely difficult for him to make a fuss about this matter, so he used this matter to test Jiang and Yuan.

Everyone saw what happened that night, but Su Huaiyuan handled everything after that, even the eldest lady was a little unclear.However, Su Huaiyuan's attitude that day was very clear, he had already reprimanded the eldest lady, and the matter was over.

It's just that Yuan and Jiang were not present that day, and Su Huaiyuan cleared out all the servants.Therefore, this news has not reached Yuan and Jiang's ears so far.

Thinking of this, Su Wan shook her head and said to the two of them: "Second Aunt, Third Aunt, my father has already severely reprimanded my mother and Su Lin. Let the two of them reflect on themselves, and Su Lin was even fined for three months. This kind of thing will not happen again in the future.”

Hearing Su Wan's words, a look of disappointment flashed in Jiang's eyes.Originally thought that such a big matter would definitely take the opportunity to seize some power from the eldest lady, but never thought that Su Huaiyuan would be so straightforward in doing things.

But Yuan's brows were tightly frowned, "How can this be done? Can such a big incident in the backyard be resolved by just being scolded? If it weren't for Wan'er, you are a lucky person with a natural appearance. It’s not clear what the situation is now!”

Both Su Wan and Jiang felt Su Huaiyuan's determination on this matter from such a firm attitude, but Yuan didn't feel it at all.In other words, she felt it, but was blindfolded by the interests in front of her, making her ignore this feeling.

Yuan Shi, who was sitting next to Su Wan, frowned and thought for a while, and then said to Su Wan: "Wan'er, there is no other way. Your father listens to the old lady the most, and now you have to ask for help." Old madam, only then can I give you justice."

In Yuan's mind, if Su Wan made a fuss in front of the old lady, even if Su Huaiyuan wanted to protect the old lady, she would definitely not be able to.At that time, if I speak a few words with the Jiang family in the old lady's ear, the old lady's authority will naturally be taken away.

Yuan's such a simple plan is not to mention Su Wan, but it is very difficult to hide it from Jiang.Thinking of this, Su Wan pretended not to know, and asked eagerly: "Then if the old lady agrees with father's opinion, what should I do?"

Although Su Wan had only met the old lady a few times, the old man's ruthlessness and determination left a deep impression on Su Wan.This time, Su Huaiyuan handled this matter properly, and with the character of the old lady, she would only stand on Su Huaiyuan's side.

That's why Su Wan didn't go to find the old lady, but wanted to unite Yuan and Jiang to bring down the old lady.But judging from the performance of the two, Jiang's can cooperate with her, but Yuan's is a bit too simple and straightforward, which may not be conducive to Su Wan's plan.

Hearing Su Wan's words, Yuan Shi was taken aback for a moment, it was obvious that he hadn't thought of this at all just now.After thinking carefully for a while, Yuan finally said slowly: "For such a big matter, the old lady will not stand by the lady's side, right?"

Seeing that she had already spoken to such an extent, the Yuan family still didn't understand, and still had hope for the old lady, Su Wan could only smile helplessly.I can't even speak up by myself.

On the other hand, Jiang finally couldn't stand it any longer, and said to Yuan, "Sister-in-law, think about it carefully, is it only because of eldest brother's love and old lady's trust that the eldest lady can be confident?"

The words have been said very straightforwardly, Yuan frowned and thought for a long time, and then a look of sudden realization appeared on his face.Apparently, after Jiang's small talk, Yuan also thought of the fundamental reason why the eldest lady has such a stable foothold in the mansion.

After a long time, the Yuan clan said: "If that's the case, can we just watch her power in the mansion grow stronger day by day?"

Su Wan, who was sitting on the side, did not answer Yuan's words directly, but said with a smile: "I see that Su Qing is studying hard today and writing hard day and night. I think he will be a pillar of the court in the future."

Hearing Su Wan's words, Yuan's face was full of pride. His son studied hard every day in order to be able to stand out in the future. Now that Su Wan mentioned it, Yuan's heart was naturally happy.

Hearing Su Wan's words, Jiang shi pondered carefully in his heart, but realized that Su Wan meant something.Whether Su Qing is diligent or not, I know in my heart. Hearing Su Wan mention Su Qing at this time, it is obvious that he wants to replace Su Lin with Su Qing.

If this plan really comes true, then the eldest lady will have to hand over the power of the mansion no matter how much the old lady trusts and the eldest brother loves her.

At that time, the Yuan clan was in power.With Yuan's stupid qualifications, isn't he at his mercy?Thinking of this, Jiang said with a smile: "What Wan'er said is very true. It's just that although Su Qing is diligent in his studies, his reputation is not well known, and he is afraid that he will be buried."

Although Su Wan's words are very reasonable, but in Jiang's view, the current Su Lin has been edited by the Imperial Academy, and was hand-picked by Fang Yuanli, the prime minister of the current dynasty. With Su Qing's qualifications, how can he be compared with Su Lin? ?If they couldn't be compared, how could they squeeze Su Lin away?
The Yuan family on the side heard that Su Wan and Jiang's two people were talking, but they talked about their son, and they still haven't reacted in their hearts.Hearing Jiang's words, he felt even more dejected. Although he was proud of his son, compared with Su Lin, there was indeed a slight gap.

Stretching out her hand to pick up the tea on the table, Su Wan said with a smile: "Fame, if you just learn it, it will follow naturally. Wasn't it because of a poem that Su Lin was favored by the Prime Minister back then, that's why he later learned it?" Prosperity."

Hearing Su Wan's words, Yuan's eyes lit up.Exactly, since Su Lin was able to be favored by the prime minister with a poem back then, his son may also be favored by others for a poem in the future, so it goes without saying that he will become a success.

Jiang Shi nodded, what Su Wan said was very reasonable.Just want to bring Su Lin down, how easy is it?But until now, there is no other way but to try this way, anyway, even if the plan fails, I will not suffer, so why not do it.

Su Wan smiled and picked up the tea bowl, and said to the Yuan family: "If Su Qing is so successful in the future, please ask Second Aunt to take care of Wan'er more. Don't forget that Wan'er came to see Second Aunt today."

The meaning in the words is to remind Yuan Shi, from now on, you and yourself will be tied together, if there are any benefits in the future, you must not let yourself down.Otherwise, I will definitely reveal what happened today, and let everyone see how Su Qing made such a success.

The Jiang family on the side also picked up the tea bowl, "Second sister-in-law, what Wan'er said is right. If Qing'er becomes successful in the future, don't forget the benefits of my aunt to him. Second sister-in-law, we need to support each other in the future. "

Although Yuan didn't know what happened just now, seeing Su Wan and Jiang offering tea to him, he knew it was a good thing, and knew that after drinking this bowl of tea, the three of them were on the same boat. We can only help each other.So there was no doubt about him in his heart, and he also picked up the tea bowl.

The three of them took a sip of the tea bowl and smiled at each other. From today onwards, the three of them will fight against the eldest lady together.

After drinking the tea, the three of them had another conversation in the room, and Su Wan took his leave first and left the small courtyard.Back in her own room, Su Wan took off her clothes, sat at the table and drank a sip of tea very comfortably, sighing in her heart, no wonder the two couldn't compete for the eldest lady.

He almost explained the words, and the two of them understood what they meant.But no matter what, the two still understood what they meant.The temporary alliance has been formed, and he will be able to help in the Hou Mansion in the future.

At this moment, someone from outside reported, "Second Miss, a distinguished guest is visiting."
