In the past ten years, every step she took had been arranged for her by Yingge in advance. She had always followed Yingge's words and never violated them, including this time when she caused Mingyu to have a miscarriage. Although
She had never wanted Mingyu's child to be born, but she had been hesitant to take action, fearing that others would take advantage of her. But Yingge's words forced her to take action, but accordingly, she ended up in this situation.
Although Yingge kept saying to reassure her just now, how could she not hear that they were all lies? Yingge would not really care about her at all and let her fend for herself here. If Hongli died, she would
There is still some hope, otherwise there will be no chance of success in life or death. I can only fend for myself here and die alone until I grow old. There will not even be a coffin when I die. It is really chilling to think about it.
Hongli stared at her and said, "How about it, have you thought about it?"
This time, Xianyue did not avoid his gaze, "I killed your child, can you not care about it? Didn't you hate me so much last night that you wanted to kill me with a knife?"
Hongli tightened his hands behind his back and said coldly: "I keep my word. Since I have agreed, I will definitely grant you everything you deserve."
Xianyue gritted her silver teeth and said, "I not only want to regain the position of Zhou Fujin, but I also want you to truly treat me as Zhou Fujin, not just a decoration."
Hongli understood what she meant and nodded: "Yes, I promise you."
Xianyue spoke again: "I know that the one you love most is your direct descendant Fujin. I can't compete with her in my life, but except for her, no one can surpass me."
Hongli pondered for a moment and nodded slowly, "Okay, no one will cross you except Mingyu."
Xianyue breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Okay, I've said everything I want to say, it's your turn to tell me what you want me to do."
"This matter is not urgent. You will stay here for a few days first, and then I will let you out after I have made arrangements." After that, Hongli strode away.
When he walked to the yard, Xianyue suddenly chased him to the door and said, "It's not just my grandma who set up this plan, but also my second elder brother!"
Hongli paused, but did not look back. He just nodded and left quickly. After he walked away, Aluo whispered: "Gege, are you really planning to betray me?"
Xianyue looked back at her with a sad smile, "Aluo, do you think I have any other choice?"
A Luo said distressedly: "I know that the master has indeed gone too far this time, but the prince does not treat you sincerely. He only promised you these things to make you turn against him. To put it bluntly, he... he also treats you as a human being.
Treat it like a chess piece.”
Xianyue looked at the direction Hongli was leaving with a complicated expression and said: "I know, but as long as he is willing to treat me as a real Clan Fujin, I will have the opportunity to give birth to my own child. Until then, what do you think about me?"
Will it still be just a chess piece?" Now, if she doesn't plan for herself, it will really be too late.
Aluo said sadly: "Oh, the master is like this, and the prince is like this, Gege's life is really miserable."
Xia Yue's eyes flashed with a frightening light, "I believe that life is in my own hands. As long as I can cross this hurdle now, I will be able to let birds fly in the sky and fish swim in the sea!"
A Luo didn't know what else to say besides sighing. After Hongli left Xianyue's yard, he quickly returned to the study. Then he sent someone to invite Hong Zhou over and told him those things. When Hong Zhou heard this
, his eyes widened immediately, and he lost his voice: "Is there such a thing?" Before Hongli could speak, he snatched the secret edict from Hongli's hand, stared at the fire seal, looked left and right, but couldn't see anything.
There are no signs of being opened.
"Don't look at it, E Niang said that maybe there are skilled craftsmen who can open the secret edict without destroying the fire seal. Besides, if Yingge and the others didn't see the contents, how could they just send it back like this."
After Hongzhou put the secret decree aside, he said angrily: "I didn't expect that they would use me like this. It's really hateful. Fourth brother, besides this, what else did you find?"
"I have people keep an eye on restaurants and teahouses. As soon as I find someone selling test questions, I will immediately follow them secretly to see if I can follow the clues and find the people behind them. However, this may not be successful. After all, the British are insidious.
He is cunning and will not leave any loopholes easily."
"Then what does Fourth Brother want from me?" Hong Zhou knew that Hong Li had summoned him here specifically, and that he would not just say this, but must have other plans.
"Now in this confrontation with Yingge, our only advantage is that he doesn't know that we have noticed this matter, and thinks that we still know nothing." After a pause, he said solemnly: "I want you
Go to the Duke's Mansion and tell Inge that I already know everything!"
Hong Zhou stood up immediately and looked at Hong Li in disbelief, "Fourth brother, are you crazy? You just said that our only advantage is this. Now do you want to give up your advantage?"
?”
"Lao Wu, Nala Xianyue told me that this plan was not set up by Yingge alone, but Hongshi was also involved. Eniang used Xu Guiren's incident to deal with him, but in the end he killed Xu Guiren with his own hands and successfully purged the family.
After clearing Huang Ama's suspicion of him, such a person is even scarier than Yingge, so if we follow the current arrangement and proceed step by step, it will probably end in nothing."
Hong Zhou walked back and forth in the study several times, but it was still difficult to agree with Hong Li's words, "But even if this is the case, we shouldn't do this. It is not good for us. Also, why did La Xianyue tell you?
Regarding this matter, hasn't she already been imprisoned by you?"
After Hongli told the story about Xianyue, he said: "Both Yingge and Hongshi are cautious and cunning people. To catch them, we have to make surprises and make them confused. Only in this way can we
There is an opportunity to take advantage of."
Hong Zhou didn't expect such an episode. He was stunned for a long time before saying: "But...but this is still too risky. If...if it doesn't succeed, we will lose everything. Also, retreat again."
First of all, even if I tell you, will they believe it? Don’t forget that they have completely doubted me now, how can they still believe it? Fourth brother, think twice before you act!"
"We will not lose!" Hongli said these five words categorically without any hesitation, "It doesn't matter whether they believe in you or not, as long as you plant this seed in their hearts."
"Fourth brother, I really don't understand." From Hong Zhou's point of view, this matter must not be known to Yingge and others, otherwise he would be missing a trump card.
Hong Li knew that if he couldn't convince Hong Zhou, he would never do it, so he immediately said: "If you were Hong Shi, what would you do if you found out that I knew what he was doing?"
