Chapter 391 Backwash
This person was naturally Gu Shao.
He had a very rough time convincing Herou Dokhan, and the two grandchildren even parted on bad terms in the end.
But after Gu Shao gave up the convenience of using this grandson, he still managed to get in touch with Bo’s mom.
It’s just that in doing so, Gu Shao changed his plans, he didn’t want to go after Wei Mengying’s beloved ones such as Mother Bo, but instead persuaded Mother Bo to fall back on her words and exterminate Song Yixiao alone.
This is how his housekeeper persuaded Mother Bo: ”The deceased has passed away! The reason why Princess Wei ended up like that has a lot to do with the person she was herself. Even though mama has her heart set on her old master, yet isn’t it more important to think about the young master’s future than revenge?”
“Although it is said that Mrs. Yan is deeply favored by Duke Yan, but Mrs. Yan has no children so far, the next thing must be to plan to get a son to fix the favor; once there is a son, then of course the most important thing is her own child – now that Princess Wei is newly deceased, Mrs. Yan is immersed in the memory of her late mother, and her knees are still only She still has only one daughter at her knees, and still has the strength to take care of her younger siblings. In the future, when Mrs. Yan’s grief is over, and her children are full of children, I dare to ask mom, how much time and energy does Mrs. Yan have to spare for the seven sons that mom serves?”
“And while the Prince of Hengshan is certainly the Seventh Prince’s own father, it should be clear from looking at the state of the original children left behind by Princess Cui that, while the Prince is not an unkind father, it is very naïve to hope that the Prince will treat the Seventh Prince as he did when Princess Wei was still alive.”
“In the end, the only person the Seventh Prince can really rely on is mom, isn’t that right?”
“So if mom doesn’t plan for the seventh prince in the long run, the seventh prince’s future is really worrying!”
In the beginning, Wei Mengying precisely knew about the relationship between He Lou Duhan and Gu Shao, which is why she sought the help of her eldest daughter to let her son worship under He Lou Duhan’s door.
Now Lu Guanyun and He Lou Duhan are officially master and disciple, He Lou Duhan is still a scholar, so it can be said that Lu Guanyun in this life have nothing to expect in addition to the master – he is still so small, He Lou Duhan do not intentionally pit him, in the teaching of homework crooked mind, to cultivate him into a mediocrity, but also enough to let the thin mother of these in the future to count on all! Lu Guanyun’s hopes were dashed!
Of course He Lou Duhan actually liked Lu Guanyun, and there was no way that he would change his attitude towards this disciple because of Gu Shao’s intentions, but this was something that Gu Shao knew, and Gu Shao’s housekeeper knew, but Mother Thin didn’t know ah!
So after hearing Gu Shao’s euphemistic threat, she instantly panicked a bit!
Wei Mengying left behind such a son, but she was unable to raise him to the position of son, according to the current situation, there are rumors in the palace that the emperor prefers his first cousin, the second son of the royal family, Lu Guanqun, to be the son, that is to say, Lu Guanyun’s hope of inheriting the title in the future is very slim, and if you want to be rich and powerful, you can only rely on studying…. -Even if Song Yixiao has always cared about her brother, it is impossible to support her brother for the rest of her life, right?
Song Yixiao is willing to raise, thin mother is also not willing, she can still expect Lu Guanyun have a good fortune, she followed the raised eyebrows!
But although Lu Guanyun’s talent for reading isn’t bad, he can’t afford to have a bad teacher!
Once this Seventh Prince had fallen into mortal mediocrity, how much better could Mother Bo and the others be in the future?
At this time, Gu Shao’s housekeeper threw out the bait, “If mom is willing to change the war of words into peace, not only will the seventh son be able to get He Lou Cultivator to cultivate, I can also make a promise, if he is not good luck in the future, can’t be the top of the list, my master will be to find a good marriage for him, so that he can get the Yue family to assist, not to be alone and helpless!”
The words about this loneliness are actually two layers of meaning, explicitly referring to Lu Guanyun and implicitly saying thin mother.
Mother Bo hesitates for a long time and finally nods – speaking of which, Gu Shao dares to send his inner circle to negotiate directly with her, and is also sure of himself.
The main reason is that after Wei Mengying’s death, Mother Bo, as the most capable person in Wei Mengying’s life, immediately went to Lu Guanyun, who needed her the least at that time.
After that, County Lord Anyang died young, and County Lord Xinling was sick at times and well at times, and she also kept close to Lu Guanyun, who was strong and had been raised by King Hengshan himself, and didn’t have the intention of taking care of the two county lords at all.
In the end, it was even Song Yixiao who picked up County Lord Xinling.
This is enough to show that Mother Bo, as a person, would rather add flowers to the brocade than send charcoal in the snow.
So she wouldn’t hold on to Wei Mengying’s vendetta, as long as she was convinced on the pros and cons, she would naturally take care of Shao’s wish to choose that way.
Of course, Gu Shao personally planned to deal with an old servant, mainly to take out Song Yixiao – Song Yixiao was currently detained in a separate courtyard, she couldn’t get out, and outsiders couldn’t get in either.
But this would be the only subordinate she could call on, Bell, who was sent there by none other than Mother Bo.
The other courtyard is again in the smallpox, but bell has already been out of the flower – through the thin mother instructed bell to find an opportunity to let Song Yixiao also infected with smallpox, and then in the care of her to do tampering, this is the most covert way to get rid of Song Yixiao!
After all, even Jian Xubai has been infected with smallpox, Song Yixiao although safe and sound for some days, in the end did not escape, it is also reasonable.
After missing such an opportunity, it wouldn’t be so easy to get a lady of the country killed again without a trace!
Honestly Gu Shao this plan is very good, he let the housekeeper promised thin mother things for thin mother is very important, related to the thin mother family’s future scene, but for Gu Shao is just a hand up.
And Song Yixiao was trapped within the other courtyard, not well-informed, and would never have thought that Mother Bo and Bell would have murderous intentions towards her – however, things are always unpredictable, and even Mother Bo didn’t expect Bell to turn against her!
Not only did he backwater, but he also told what he knew about Mama Thin’s orders and what he knew!
Bell did this, but had her own thoughts, “When the Queen Consort was here, there was Mother Bo in the back of the house, and we and our wife were the ones who were ordered to do things outside. Although our couple has been running around for Her Highness from time to time, our status is not as good as Her Highness’ mother Bo’s. Later, when Her Highness was gone, she was not as good as Her Highness’ mother Bo. Later on, when the Queen Consort died, Mother Bo immediately went to the seventh prince’s side, and we became her subordinates again!”
Originally, her age and seniority are not as good as Bo’s mother, and she has been supported by Bo’s mother, but she does not have any idea.
The problem is that she came back to give Song Yixiao a hand – only to come to the pink roses, red roses out of the flowers, and immediately died; followed by Song Yixiao other two big maids, red roses and white roses also hit, this is not dead, but also can not serve Song Yixiao.
So much so that Song Yixiao’s hallowed State Lady was actually only followed by Suzaku at the moment.
And bell in Song Yixiao only into Hengshan Wang Fu with her contact, between the two have old, these days get along down is also harmonious – the point is that bell saw Song Yixiao’s backyard only favor, but also see her lack of people, but not on the heart of the matter?
Why did she continue to follow the orders of Mother Thin after Wei Meng Ying’s death?
In the end, it was because Lu Guanyun, who was under the care of Mother Bo, was what they, Wei Mengying’s old servants, could count on in the future.
In a sense, Mama Bo is holding the sky hostage.
But Lu Guanyun, even if he worships the scholar, and is recognized as having a talent for reading, in the end, only seven years old, what will happen in the future is not easy to say it, but Song Yixiao is already a state lady!
There is also the fact that Lu Guanyun is a man, Bo’s mother has a big age gap with him, and when he grows up in the future, there is nothing to be taboo about taking care of him in close proximity. Bell is not, she is only a dozen years older than Lu Guanyun, even if Lu Guanyun grows up ten years later, she still has her charm.
So even without Mother Thin, she didn’t have the opportunity to serve this little master up close after all.
It wasn’t that Suzaku had any thoughts about Lu Guanyun, but being close to the water was the first thing to get the moon – especially after having the experience of serving Song Yixiao in close quarters these past few days, Suzaku felt more and more that it was better to follow Song Yixiao.
It’s just that she also knew that Song Yixiao cared very much about her siblings from the same mother, and under normal circumstances, it was never possible to snatch someone from her brother.
And although Lu Guanyun was also kind to his half-sister, how would he know how to give his sister a hand at his age?
Suzu was torn, when she received a letter from Mother Bo asking her to lay hands on Song Yixiao, she was simply overjoyed and sold Mother Bo out without saying a word!
At this moment, she pressed down her ecstasy, made a sad and anxious look, and smiled at Song Yi, “Missy, thin mother’s person, you also know! Regardless of whether this time the letter is not her intention, slave girl put this situation to you, told mom to know, turn back certainly will not let go of slave girl, this …”
“Don’t worry, you’re not the one who serves Guanyun, I’ll talk to the Hengshan royal family and ask for your family’s deeds!” Song Yixiao understood what she meant and said, “I think the royal family will always give me face.”
Her gaze sank, “But why on earth would Mother Bo want you to plot against me …”
“Don’t worry, ma’am!” Bell immediately changes her address and attentively says, “The slave girl will immediately go and write a letter, questioning Mama Bo about what to do if she harms you, in case the Seventh Prince loses favor with the Prince! It’s reasonable for the slave girl to have this concern, and I’m sure mom Bo will give an explanation!”
Thin mother did not even think that the bell but served Song Yi smile so little time, has abandoned Lu Guanyun, after receiving the news really did not hide her, although did not explicitly recognize Gu Shao, the words of the hints also told a seven or eight – Thin mother to do so, the main worry about the bell for the sake of the future of Lu Guanyun considerations, refused to lay down his hands.
“This old thing is really vicious!” Bell gave Song Yixiao a report on one side, and said with righteous indignation on the other, “You are the eldest daughter of the Queen Consort! As the most capable person in the Queen Consort’s life, she actually did such a thing! I don’t know how she’ll explain herself when she meets Her Highness in the future!”
Song Yixiao listening to the laughter, thinking that the bell is really not as important as thin mother by their own mother, actually even their own had been Wei Mengying pit things do not know – thin mother is just like a model, he really saw Wei Mengying, master and servant two half a catty to eight or two, who can say who?
“Although Mother Bo didn’t explicitly say so, although there are still a few people in this world who want me dead, there are definitely not many who can talk her into giving me up.” She fixed her mind and said to Bell, “I can’t think of anyone else besides Gu Shao!”
Back then, Song Yixiao had offended the Cui family, the Liu family, and the Jin family in order to avenge Zhiqin’s death.
In addition to the Liu family, the Cui family and the Jin family are still in existence, and if there is an opportunity, it is not surprising that they would have the heart to kill Song Yixiao.
The problem was that both the Cui family and the Jin family were less powerful than the House of Yan.
Even if they offer generous conditions, may not be able to move the thin mother – the wife is not stupid, know that there is no power single money Palo may not be able to protect, and even perhaps even involve the life, not silver can buy.
So can let her willingly give up Song Yixiao, in addition to the benefits given to call her heart, the most important thing is that this person is bound to be in the power and status of the Yan State Duke House are over the Yan State Duke House, and there is a reason to conspire to kill Song Yixiao.
And with that, the candidates were narrowed down to just one, and that was Gu Shao.
“This is also tantamount to confirming our suspicions that Lu is indeed the one who plotted against my mother, otherwise Gu Shao would have no need to do this to me!” Song Yixiao sneered out, “This Minister Gu is really original, in order to finish me off, he even came up with the idea of talking my birth mother’s inner circle – worthy of being a famous man of the sea!”
Bell heard that it was Gu Shao, also ate a shock, but she did not have any regret, Gu Shao again the power of the dynasty, promised to thin mother’s benefits again, the big head is always thin mother’s, but not her!
This incident strengthened her determination to follow Song Yixiao, and she immediately said, “They say they are famous in the sea, but who would have thought that they are so inconsistent? Madam, what should we do now? Are we going to expose his plot immediately? The secret letters that mom Bo wrote, the slave girls have kept them as proof!”
“Those letters can only prove that Mrs. Bo killed me, but they can’t prove that Gu Shao had anything to do with it!” Song Yixiao shook her head, “Now that my husband is still in flower, I’m all alone, and I can’t even go to my mother-in-law to complain – this will expose him, and once he succeeds in rebutting it, I’ll be spooking the snake instead! Perhaps, he will even bite me back!”
Don’t look at Gu Shao this time the design failed, that’s because even Song Yixiao did not expect the bell will turn against, purely from the design of the scheme, just think of the use of thin mother and bell this point, but also enough to see Gu Shao’s old and powerful!
And this failure, I guess Bo’s mom is also responsible – Gu Shao must have checked with Bo’s mom about the reliability of the bell, and Bo’s mom, who’s used to calling the bell, would think that she can’t instruct the bell?
In short, the best laid plans can’t protect against the unexpected.
But no one can keep pointing to accidents to get by.
So Song Yixiao will never underestimate Gu Shao because of her own fluke escape this time, on the contrary, she is now incomparably jealous of Gu Shao, “If this person is not eliminated, it is difficult for me to rest in peace ah …”
