Baoshu sat in front of Su Yueling with a look of sudden realization, "That's it."
There was no emotion on her face such as sadness or hurt. Perhaps it was because she had never cared about Shen Jinlan from the beginning, but only regarded him as a suitable shield.
Without hope, there is no so-called disappointment.
"Let me tell you, I'm not a down-and-out beauty like you, sister-in-law. How can I be loved so easily? It's me."
If it was for the second brother and Uncle Wei, it would be normal. This could be regarded as resolving Yuan Baoshu's doubts.
Su Yueling snorted, "That's because he has no vision. What's wrong with our Baoshu?"
Baoshu has a kind heart and a good temperament. Even though she is not as good as her in appearance, she is still an out-and-out beauty, and she is also a business genius.
Speaking of which, the reason why the Qiang people took action may be because the emperor dealt with the Wang family during his southern tour, which also affected some of the Qiang people's forces in Daxia. They took the initiative to attack after suffering heavy losses.
Yuan Baoshu pursed her lips and smiled. It was only her sister-in-law who thought she was good at everything. Compared with other girls, she was just more fortunate to have relatives who did not treat her as a tool, but cared about her and loved her.
"What are you going to do? Cut him into pieces?" Su Yueling asked. When Baoshu nodded, she immediately sent someone to capture Shen Jinlan.
Yuan Baoshu said: "Sister-in-law, stop joking, that would be too bloody."
She frowned slightly, "It's a lie to say that I'm not angry at all. Fortunately, I really don't want to talk about relationships. Otherwise, if it were another person, I might fall in love with him wholeheartedly, and be exploited by him, and I would fall deeper and deeper. It may even involve your own family."
The good reputations of sister-in-law and brother may be ruined in one day. Her relatives will be dragged down, which makes Baoshu even more uncomfortable than being injured herself.
She hummed, rarely showing her angry mood, "Since he likes to play with emotions, let's play with him in return!"
Su Yueling immediately guessed Baoshu's thoughts, "Are you going to keep him by your side?"
Yuan Baoshu nodded, "It would be too easy to catch him. He seems to have a very tough character. Even if he is tortured, he would rather die than tell the news he knows, right? Maybe there will be a bit of tongue-biting. Commit suicide."
"It's better to keep him and use the strategy to eradicate all the Qiang strongholds in the capital. At least now we know that the jewelry store is owned by the Qiang people."
"We can also deliberately release false news to mislead them, and then use a grand victory to exchange for at least five years of peace, which will severely damage the vitality of the Qiang people."
Of course, Su Yueling knew that Baoshu's idea could maximize benefits, but as long as Shen Jinlan continued to stay with Baoshu, his existence itself would be a destabilizing factor. If something was accidentally leaked, Baoshu might be in danger.
Seeing her thoughts, Baoshu took her hand and said, "You have left so many sisters by my side. With their protection, I am very safe." Moreover, the sister beside her is Shen Jinlan, who is good at poisons. If he really dares to do something, he will definitely be the one who will never come back.
"My sister-in-law and two brothers have been protecting me all this time. I also want to help you a little bit."
Her sister-in-law obtained the title for her based on her own merits. She was able to earn so much money because her sister-in-law provided money and prescriptions. Yuan Baoshu did not want to hide behind her family.
She paused for a moment, and a sly smile appeared at the corner of her mouth. It was rare to see this little fox-like expression on her face.
"Before, I was still hesitating whether to cooperate with him, let him be a good shield, and finally collect money to fake his death and disappear in front of everyone. Now, I can use him with peace of mind, and I don't need to worry about whether it will hurt me.
I can understand his feelings so that I can get over it once and for all."
Since he can play with her emotions, there is nothing to complain about if he is played with by her in turn.
Su Yueling thought for a while and said, "I still have to ask Suijun and Suifeng about this. I'll talk to them tonight."
She was indeed persuaded by Baoshu.
Yuan Baoshu said seriously: "It's better for me to do it. I can't let my sister-in-law do everything."
This is her business, how can she always let others take the lead?
Because it was not long after the first lunar month, Yuan Suifeng did not go to the border, but was in the military camp in the capital.
It took Yuan Baoshu several days to finally convince his two brothers.
Yuan Suijun went to the palace to talk to his uncle, the emperor, to prevent anyone from saying that the Yuan family was colluding with the Qiang people in the future.
Rong Ji's expression immediately turned cold. Although he knew that every country would place spies in the capital of Daxia, he still couldn't help but get angry.
Yuan Suijun said: "Their allegiance should be to Prince Jian of the Qiang people."
This prince is the brother of the Emperor of Qiang, and they have a very good relationship. Prince Jian is also the general marshal of the Qiang people, and has met with Daxia several times. He has three sons and one daughter, all of whom are concubines. It is said that this only daughter has a beautiful appearance.
She was so favored by him that when she was still young, Prince Jian asked her to be made a princess.
Rong Ji lightly knocked on the table and said, "If you need a marriage, please tell me."
He sighed softly, "If you do this, you will wrong your sister."
After the matter was settled, Shen Jinlan had no other choice but to die.
The death of her fiancé will inevitably have some impact on Yuan Baoshu's future marriage.
Rong Ji's sister's determined look appeared in his mind, and her words echoed in his mind again.
[Brother, I don’t want to pin my destiny on a man or gamble on a man’s conscience and loyalty.]
[At least I can refuse those pursuits in the name of widowhood in the future.]
Unknowingly, the sister who needed his protection had grown up and had her own ideas. When she said that, she was extraordinarily insistent. She was not impulsive, but chose to take this step after careful consideration.
.
Yuan Suijun is just such a sister. Rather than letting her become a happy and perfect wife in the eyes of the world, he naturally prefers her to live the life she wants.
He lowered his eyelids and smiled bitterly, "I naturally feel sorry for her."
"But Baoshu talked about eating the emperor's salary and being loyal to the emperor. She received so many favors that she was frightened and felt that she was not worthy. She was very happy to be able to help the court."
Yuan Suijun had a little scheming in this regard. It was obviously Baoshu who couldn't wait to use Shen Jinlan, a tool man, to the end. When it came out of his mouth, it became Baoshu's decision to sacrifice her future marriage for Daxia.
.
As expected, Rong Ji showed an moved expression.
Hey, all the ministers in the court were eager to get more benefits from him. How could they repay their kindness like Baoshu? He is indeed a child raised by Yueling and Suijun!
Such a good child, we can’t let her suffer when the time comes!
It’s just that the things Baoshu did cannot be disclosed to others. Yes, I heard that over the years, Baoshu was managing the Salesian institute that Yueling had renovated and the textile factory that was built.
The reason is good, I guess those ministers didn't have anything else to say.
Yuan Suijun saw his uncle's expression and knew that it was done.
Well, after returning home, I have to encourage Sui Feng. Otherwise, when Baoshu is promoted, he will still be the only one in the family without a title, which will be embarrassing.
