Chapter 54 An ulterior motive
Wen Mingqian said: "Originally, I wanted to tell the old lady and the eldest man today, but I didn't know that Aunt Song had also come up with a way."
Gong The old lady said: "What is your solution? Are you sure about it?"
Although I asked this, I didn't have any hope in my heart.
First of all, Wen Mingqian is a prostitute, and his family is not prominent.
Secondly, she has been away from Beijing for a long time and has few close friends who are compatible and capable.
This matter was already difficult to handle in the third place. Not to mention her, even Gong Rang, who had been in the officialdom for twenty years, was unable to do anything.
"I dare not say how sure I am, but I can give it a try." Wen Mingqian said, "I will take Chang'an to see Mr. Zhu tomorrow."
"What? You want it?" Go to Zhu Hui? I'm afraid I won't even be able to see him in person." Gong Rang shook his head, "This person is extremely unkind."
"Of course I know this is a difficult matter, but for the sake of the master. , You can only trust people." Wen Mingqian said, "You have to give it a try no matter what."
"Then what are you going to do?" Mrs. Gong asked, looking at Wen Mingqian as if she was somewhat sure.
"Old lady, it's not that I'm deliberately trying to keep things secret, but things are often accomplished by keeping secrets, and failure is revealed through words. Besides, this is a very important matter, so please forgive me that I can't say it yet." Wen Mingqian refused. Tell the truth.
After hearing what she said, Mrs. Song didn't believe it, thinking that this was probably her tactic to delay the attack.
So he said: "Madam, it's not that I want to stop you. It would be great if you succeed. If not, I'm afraid it will annoy Zhu Hui and be even more detrimental to the master."
"No, I can guarantee this." Wen Mingqian comforted her, and also comforted Mrs. Gong, "Besides, even if it doesn't work out in the end, isn't there still a way to let Chang'an be a substitute? We have not offended her. At most, King Zhao only offended him. What's wrong?"
Although Mrs. Song was unwilling to accept it, her attitude could not be too tough.
Otherwise, everyone would see that she was hiding her private life for public reasons, not just to save Gong Xu, but also to take revenge on Wen Mingqian.
"Old lady, eldest man, I swear on my life that even if this thing doesn't work, it will never make the situation worse. Please let me give it a try!" From beginning to end, Wen Mingqian was all There are no fierce words, she is quiet and calm, and her advances and retreats are measured.
But Mrs. Gong still couldn't make up her mind. She looked at her eldest son.
“Let my younger siblings give it a try!” Gong Rang chose to believe Wen Mingqian, “As she said, it doesn’t matter whether she offends Zhu Hui or not. Anyway, he doesn’t show mercy to others, so he offends him. He, he may not take revenge.”
Zhu Hui is famous for his integrity. It is difficult to win over him and it is also difficult to get him to take revenge.
"Okay! You must be careful." Mrs. Gong warned, "If it doesn't work, then think of other ways."
When she said this, her eyes were confused. She consciously looked at Gong Changan, and it was obvious that she was still moved by Song's proposal.
The crowd then dispersed, and Wen Mingqian brought Gong Changan back with him.
Ms. Song returned to her Ruixiang Residence with a gloomy expression.
"Little madam, do you think that Wen can't play tricks?" Mrs. Yang asked worriedly, "The old madam and the uncle are also a little too indecisive. They should follow your suggestion and make it 100% accurate." Mrs. Song He glanced at her and sighed, thinking that this was not the end, he sneered twice more.
“Both the eldest husband and his wife are good people! If it hadn’t been for them these two years, Wen Mingqian would have been kicked out completely.
I don’t believe it. What clever plan can she, Wen Mingqian, have to convince Zhu Hui? Butler Chen who was kicked out.
Wen Mingqian also remained calm that time.
"Then what will she do? Will she beg Zhu Hui and say that I forced her to give up her son? So that Zhu can feel compassion." Mrs. Song began to maliciously speculate on Wen Mingqian.
"I don't think this method will work. Zhu Hui is a filial son! He probably won't think of this as coercion. After all, it has been a matter of justice since ancient times for a minister to die for the king and for a son to die for his father." Mrs. Yang shook her head.
"Then she won't make this noise so that everyone knows about it, right?" Ms. Song's eyes suddenly widened, "The uproar has filled the sky, but it has restrained our hands and feet. .
King Zhao wanted to save his face, and he didn’t want to take advantage of others’ danger, so he simply cut off the road. ”
"Ah? Did she really have this idea?" Mrs. Yang was shocked when she heard this. "If this is the case, it will offend King Zhao. Not only will the master be unable to be saved, but he will also be cut off from us. It would be too much of a loss to gain anything. "
The King of Zhao is so powerful, offending the King of Zhao is equivalent to offending most of the court, and it will be even more difficult for the palace family in the future.
But Mrs. Song then figured it out: "No, she won't do that. If she doesn't want to give up her son, she just needs to firmly disagree. That will just offend the Gong family. That’s all.
It would be unwise if she really made a quarrel, which would offend everyone. It’s just that I was confused.”
"Then if that's the case, what on earth is she going to do?" Mrs. Yang couldn't figure it out. She just felt like her mind was in a state of confusion. "Let's just say it's a delaying strategy, right? How long can it be delayed?
As long as mother and son stay in the Gong family for one day, they will not be able to escape. What difference does it make if you slow down for a day or two? "
"I don't care what she thinks," Mrs. Song gritted her teeth, "I only decided on that path, and I will show it to the palace family. I am the only one who sincerely wants to save the master. Come out, only my method will work! "
"Little madam, what can we do? The old lady and the eldest man both agreed and let her give it a try. "Mr. Yang asked, clasping her hands.
"What's so great about Zhuge Liang after the fact? What we have to do is do the pre-horse classes. Mrs. Song said and stood up, "I'm going to kneel in front of Wen Mingqian and beg her to agree to rescue the master as soon as possible!" ”
Song knew that this opportunity was too rare, and it would be a pity not to take advantage of this opportunity to scheme against Gong Changan.
After all, sending Gong Changan to be a substitute would not only save Gong Xu, but also allow him to be promoted to a higher position in the future.
Why not give up a legitimate son in exchange for glory and wealth for the rest of your life?
This is the most important thing that affects her and her son's life. How can it be ignored?
She just wanted to force Wen Mingqian to death!
"Madam, the young lady is kneeling outside." Liu Er came in and said to Wen Mingqian with a look of embarrassment, "The slaves cannot persuade me."
Wen Mingqian was drinking tea and raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this.
Aunt Zhang said: "This Aunt Song is afraid that the house will be quiet, so she keeps doing things like heaven and earth. If she wants to kneel down, ask her to kneel down. She deserves to be a ghost and a monkey!"
