When Zhao Yuankun got close to the prince's staff, she was wary, but she didn't think so deeply. First of all, he was just a staff member, so Zhao Yuankun couldn't reach the prince, so it shouldn't be a big deal. Secondly, it was also because he was the prince.

He is the crown prince and the only son of the late empress.

Nowadays, I have a deep relationship with you. Even after his death, he did not establish a new throne, and he also valued the prince. The old lady felt that there should be no more problems in this generation, so Zhao Yuankun went to the prince's side, and she did not feel any danger at all.

But after Xu Xi analyzed it like this, she felt that the potential danger in this matter was extremely great.

Xu Xidao: "Ten thousand steps back, the matter has not reached that point, but think about it, old lady, if the third brother wants to get up, can you hold him back? Now the third uncle is hiding his tail between his legs, and he is just accusing himself of it.

It's just momentum. Once he accumulates enough strength, even if the prince's mansion is not affected by the prince, your old man and the palace are stumbling blocks to his progress, and they must be removed by him. "

She looked at the old lady and spoke in a very low voice, but she said word by word: "My uncle has poor health and often takes medicine, so it's best to take action. The second master is incompetent and eager to become an official. If you give him a little benefit, he will be led away. You

Although you and the eldest lady are very capable, they are just the wives of the back house. There are some things that you cannot prevent if you want to. As long as the third master is willing, it is not difficult to plot against you. If we do not separate the families, the Hou Mansion will be in danger!"

It's not that she is being alarmist, there is indeed such a plot in the novel.

Zhao Yuankun later hooked up with the prince. After running two errands for the prince, his ambitions became more and more intense. He was not satisfied with just dividing the family. He wanted the title of the Marquis. He also wanted to use the Marquis of Suiping as the basis to use the merit of Conglong.

He took this opportunity to raise his title to a higher level.

Speaking of which, he and the old lady had the same idea, which was to restore the glory of the Marquis Mansion, but it was just that they were not conferred the title by the same person.

So Zhao Yuankun devised a plan to use Zhao Yuanliang as a spearman to murder Zhao Yuanxun. However, before the plan was implemented to the last step, the prince was forced to rebel due to other people's deliberate calculations.

When the old lady heard this, her face turned pale.

This was actually what she was worried about, so she took very strict precautions against the two bastards.

"So, the Marquis and the First Lady are now going to investigate what happened back then. Once it is confirmed that it was indeed the Second Lady who did it, you might as well let the Marquis and the First Lady get angry and take the opportunity to divide the family. Divide the family.

, the third uncle will not think that you are blocking his way, and he will naturally not have any intention of murder; even if he wants to get involved in the fight for the legitimate son, the impact on the Hou family will not be that big. After all, the responsibility is not there.

Mr. Hou and the Zhu family should help to speak. Otherwise, the third uncle will participate in the rebellion. Mr. Hou is the head of the family and cannot escape his responsibility. No matter how willing the Zhu family is to help, they are powerless."

After saying this, she sat quietly aside and stopped talking.

There are some things that you have to give the old lady time to think about clearly.

The old lady had a pale face and was leaning on the soft couch. Her face was changing, and she obviously failed to make the final decision.

After a long time, she heard the old lady let out a long sigh with a desolate voice: "Is the Hou Mansion really hopeless?"

Hearing these words, she knew that the old lady had figured it out and had made up her mind to let the eldest lady advocate for the separation of the family.

She comforted: "Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. How could you know that Brother Tai is not a promising person? As long as he studies hard and is capable and able to run errands, he can also make a good future. Uncle Zhu's is not like that

An example?"

"Besides, the second uncle and the third uncle's surname is Zhao. They are your concubines. This will never change in their lifetime. They are promising. If they don't support and return to the Hou Mansion, the emperor will think that they are unfilial and unconscionable. He will not

Reuse them. So they have to do it even if it is a show. In other words, if they do not do well after we divide the family, we have avoided the risk; but if they become successful, they will inevitably benefit from the Hou Mansion. "

"In addition, by dividing the family, although our house is smaller and the land and property seem to be divided, it also saves us a lot of troubles. You are a kind person, the eldest lady is very sensible, and the family size is simple.

, there are not so many dirty things, how many families who love their daughters would be willing to marry the Hou Mansion."

Xu Xi did not intend to tell the old lady about the three thousand taels of silver, otherwise she would not be able to explain how she learned about it.

Anyway, Po Wen got a lot of money to hide it so deeply. When she pulls out the carrot and brings out the mud, the source of the three thousand taels of silver in Wei's hands will definitely be exposed.

The first point Xu Xi said was okay, but the latter point really comforted the old lady's heart.

After all, the old lady is an old woman who has stayed in the back house all her life. What she cares most about is the life of her children and grandchildren. If the Marquis is not having difficulties in getting married, she has nothing to worry about.

The old lady let out a long breath: "Okay, my children and grandchildren will have their own blessings, and I can't control them. As long as they are safe, have food and clothing, and are prosperous and lively, then let them be."

"Old madam, I hope you can figure it out." Xu Xi smiled.

She stood up and said, "Then I'll call Aunt Jin to come in and accompany you. I'm going to eat." She touched her belly as she said, "I'm really hungry."

The old lady then remembered that Xu Xi had talked to her as soon as he came back and hadn't eaten yet, so she quickly waved her hand: "Go quickly. I've already eaten."

In fact, she had no appetite, so she could only drink a cup of bird's nest porridge. But she could ask the kitchen to cook some food.

She has to stay healthy and watch her children and grandchildren live better and better lives.

Xu Xi was happy, turned around and left.

The old lady looked at her back with complicated eyes.

Xu Xi's behavior really refreshed her view of Xu Xi again and again. It also made Xu Xi stand in sharp contrast to other children.

The other children in the Hou Mansion are either naive and ignorant, pretentious, or submissive. There are really smart and capable ones, and they seem to be wearing a veil. They bury everything in their hearts and don't say anything. They only plan for themselves and say what's right.

If it's in your best interest, do what's best for you. As for the rest, do your business?

For example, Zhao Ruyu, before Xu Xi came back, the old lady thought that although she was born to the Wei family, she was considerate, sensible, sweet-tongued, and very lovable.

But she quietly sought a marriage for herself in the Pingnan Marquis Mansion, and quietly went to the Capital Women's College. After Xu Xi came back, she consciously stepped aside and only looked at the old lady's face.

Attitude speaks and acts.

Such a child is very thoughtful and spends all his time seeking his own interests and will not consider the interests of the entire Hou family.
