Therefore, if the guess is correct, it should be that she wanted to find a future for her brother and a strong support for herself. The prince replaced Dou Zuping and started to push all this behind the scenes.
One wrong step, one wrong step!
Unexpectedly, she had never put Dou Zuping, a dandy, in her eyes, but now he would cause such great harm.
The son of Princess Fengwu indeed lived up to his reputation. He was hiding in the Dou family and turned into the legitimate son of the Dou family. Who would have thought that not even Xia Jie would have thought of it!
But there is still a little doubt. Does the old lady know that this prince murdered her direct grandson and replaced him? How much has this prince known about the Dou family and how much has he mastered since he has been in the Dou family for so long?
The secrets of the Dou family, these are what she is eager to know and must know!
—————————————————————————
Big events have happened in the Dou family in recent days, and people are coming and going. When Yifang returns to the Dou family again, the golden gate of the Hou Mansion is already full of carriages and horses, including wealthy families living around Zhuque Lane.
, there are also newly promoted noble ministers, and the collateral branches of the Dou family, descended from the same lineage, are like a swarm of bees, constantly coming in.
Sitting in the carriage, facing such a lively scene, Yifang couldn't help but feel chills on his lips when he saw the noble ministers gathering their beards and smiling at the door.
She raised her head and looked at the two white lanterns hanging in front of the gate of the Marquis Mansion, feeling empty in her heart.
These two lanterns should be hung for her mother. According to the laws of Daxia, if there are still elders in the family, the head mother of the house does not hang up the spiritual lanterns. Now it should be because of her, Concubine Yi.
It was only because of his status and his elder brother’s power to run the family that he made an exception. Look at the expressions on the faces of the nobles, the enthusiastic interactions with each other, and the gleam in the eyes of the descendants when they shuttled among the crowd.
A little bit sad!
These people are usually too far away from the center of power of the Dou family. Now they come back just to win over and get to know some people for their future in the name of attending funerals.
Yifang had experienced such a humble situation before, and she could understand it, but now it was her dead mother who was being taken advantage of, and her mood was completely different. She controlled her anger forcibly, hung up the car curtain, and said in a low voice: "
There’s no need to go to the front to announce, let’s go back through the back door.”
Cui'er responded yes, understanding her master's mood at the moment. She spoke to a few guards who were temporarily called over, walked to the back door of the Hou Mansion, and then passed directly into the Dou family's inner house from there.
When Dou Zunian heard the report from his servants that Luan Jia, who was Princess Yi, had arrived at the small entrance hall in the backyard of Dou's house, he was shocked. He left the people who had gathered to worry about Mrs. Dou's condition and walked out.
At this time, Mrs. Dou was already very angry. Everyone was waiting there, including the elders of the clan. Most of them were at an age where they knew their destiny. Mrs. Dou had gone through the ups and downs of the Dou family back then.
He was in a good position and had close friendship with these elders. When he saw Dou Zunian leaving without saying a word, his face immediately changed and he felt dissatisfied.
As the current direct grandson of the Dou family, at this moment, what else is more important than his grandmother, is it possible that he still has to entertain people outside?
The second elder couldn't stand this situation, and he felt angry. Just as he was about to speak, a crow-green figure quickly blocked the way of the second elder, as fast as lightning.
The second elder narrowed his eyes and was choked back before he could speak.
Dou Zuan didn't seem to pay attention to the angry expression of the second elder. He glanced out at Dou Zunian's retreating figure and saw that he had already walked around the corner, leaving only his robes flying, so he said lazily: "Second Elder
But if you have something to ask, Zu An can just go and take care of it."
The second elder was angered by Dou Zunian's behavior and felt that Dou Zunian did not take them as old people seriously. At this moment, Dou Zuan, a concubine, was blocking the way. He almost wanted to curse, but after all, he thought of the current situation of the Dou family, and thought of Dou Zuan's relationship with Yi in Dou Zunian.
He took a few deep breaths before asking the question.
"The old lady is in critical condition now. As the grandsons of the old lady, how can you and Zu Nian be so unconcerned about it, especially Zu Nian? Although he has lost his mother and the Hou family has also lost his mother, but
After all, the old lady is an ancestor and is more important than anyone else, so why should he go to take care of his mother's funeral now instead of guarding the old lady here?"
This series of questions was reasonable, causing everyone present to lower their heads and start whispering. Dou Zuan glanced at everyone one by one with his sharp eyes, and immediately the elders who were usually so majestic in the Dou family fell silent.
The Dou family is no longer the Dou family it used to be, and the person in charge of the Dou family has also been changed!
Dou Zuan looked at the different expressions on everyone's faces, with a cold light shining at the corners of his lips.
He really didn't want to refute the second elder's words. In his and seventh brother's hearts, they had no affection for this old lady. When they were both concubines and struggling, they had never seen this old lady.
There was a trace of kindness on Taijun's face, a little like a grandmother's greetings.
Now, it is really difficult for them to admit that such a stranger is more important than their own mother.
However, Dou Zuan would not say this on such an occasion. Filial piety is as important as the sky in Daxia!
"Just now, someone from the front came to report that Luan Jia, who is Concubine Yi, has arrived in the foyer of the inner house."
Dou Zuan just said these words without any expression. Suddenly, the second elder showed an embarrassed look on his face. His lips trembled a few times, and finally he glanced at Dou Zuan hatefully.
, didn’t say anything, and sat back down in his seat angrily.
Dou Zuan, on the other hand, pulled his lips and said nothing more. However, when he sat down, he keenly noticed that the seventh elder sitting opposite seemed to shift uneasily in his seat.
The young boy, under the seemingly casual eyes of the seventh elder, slowly withdrew.
This is a normal thing. Ever since the old lady was poisoned, all of them have been waiting here for a long time. During this period, everyone would ask their servants to go out to run some errands. They are inconspicuous little people with normal behaviors, but now
, but it gave him a weird feeling!
Why did the Seventh Elder suddenly change his expression when he mentioned the word Yi Fei? Why did he send his servant out at this time? Moreover, the servant's behavior was not upright and upright.
Permeated with a sense of voyeurism.
Dou Zuan frowned, and his thumb pad unconsciously rubbed the jade ring on his hand.
The prince is coming out soon. Don’t think I’m writing nonsense. He has been lurking in the Dou family for so many years. How could he only have the old lady as an internal agent, right? So you understand why I want to foreshadow this chapter, right?
