Just when Liu Yun was missing his mother, the courtyard on the other side was extremely solemn, and the whole room was filled with tension.
Mrs. Ji's face was serious, without the slightest kindness or gentleness she had shown to Liu Yun just now. She was sitting on the cave with an expressionless face, and standing in front of her were her two sons, who also had equally solemn expressions.
"Liu Yun is just a child, what can she know? Why involve her in these things? Mengxian has passed away, so why let these things continue." The speaker was Ji Donglin, the current head of the Ji family.
, he was firing at his younger brother with a solemn expression and very displeased.
"I allowed this. Don't blame Boping. He did it for our Ji family." Mrs. Ji's face was filled with unspeakable emotion.
Ji Boping, who was named, pursed his lips and said to his eldest brother: "My mother and I are very sorry about Mengxian's matter. We didn't expect that things would reach this point, but the reason why our Ji family has been so prosperous for so many years depends on
What is it? Brother knows as well as we do. Without those things to rely on, does Brother think our Ji family will always be able to stand? Take ten thousand steps back. Even if the Ji family does not fall, what can we do to suppress the branches of the Ji family?
?”
Ji Donglin doesn't know this, but his beloved sister has sacrificed everything for this family. What is she insisting on? How can he, the eldest brother, not know, and now he wants to drag the daughter she has tried so hard to protect into such a situation?
He really couldn't bear it in the muddy water.
"Dong Lin, didn't King An's collapse make you understand something? There are no evergreen trees in the imperial court. Our Ji family has been able to be prosperous for so many years not because our foundation is stable, but because the emperor delegated power.
Because of the trust of the royal family, but after all, why did the royal family let us go like this?" Mrs. Ji's eyes showed a shrewdness that should not belong to women and children, and she lowered her voice and said, "It's because of the hands of our Ji family.
, the secrets I hold."
Every generation of emperors will tell the prince some families that need special attention, and the Ji family will always bear the brunt. But if a complicated family can stand still for so many years, they naturally have something unknown in their hands, and the royal family also knows it.
Therefore, they would be indulged and indulged in. Unless the Ji family rebelled one day, the royal family would always be more tolerant to the Ji family than others.
However, these so-called secrets were in the hands of Ji Mengxian. The legitimate daughter of the Ji family took these so-called secrets and buried them all in the loess. The royal family did not know that these things had disappeared.
, but the Ji family had been searching secretly for a long time, so Ji Boping later went to Linyang City and met Ji Mengxian. However, this sister, who was calmer and wiser than men, refused to tell the whereabouts of these things.
.
"But even without those things, our Ji family will not collapse." Ji Donglin is arrogant. He believes that his ability will definitely make the Ji family reach a higher level in his lifetime. Ji Mengxian's distant marriage, the person who was the crown prince at that time
The competition caused the Ji family to decline for a period of time, but now the emperor has restored trust in the Ji family, and he believes that the Ji family will not collapse.
His words made Ji Boping chuckle: "Brother, you have been in the officialdom for so many years, are you still so naive today? If the emperor really trusts us, why should we be trembling in the court, walking on thin ice, not talking about myself?
Speaking of eldest brother, when has the emperor summoned eldest brother without feeling anxious? The emperor's attitude towards the Ji family is no longer what it used to be. Back then, when we supported the sixth prince, do you think the emperor really had no problems at all?"
Ji Donglin pursed his lips and said nothing. He naturally knew that what his brother said was right. What kind of famous family didn't plan every step and make plans behind it? If not, why would they send the daughter of the Ji family to the palace as a concubine? I know the emperor's thoughts closely. In the final analysis, no one in the officialdom is truly pure and kind, and no one wants to get more power. Power is really a poison that rots the heart, and no one can avoid it.
"Liu Yun is Mengxian's daughter. If Mengxian passes away, she should be told everything, right? I don't believe that Mengxian will really keep everything in her heart and take it all to the ground." Ji Boping narrowed his eyes slightly. Eyes, he immediately said, "Liu Yun did not marry Shen Yi, but chose to marry Dongfang Ye. This time the Dongfang family took great credit in pacifying King An. Don't you think this is too weird?" Dongfang Yuan left the court a long time ago, and now there is only one Dongfang Lin in the capital who doesn’t like to socialize. Why did he suddenly rise at a critical moment? Do you really think this is all just a coincidence?"
If Liu Yun and Dongfang Ye were present, they would both feel innocent.
Especially Dongfang Ye, who has worked hard for more than two years to eradicate King An's power bit by bit, but now in Ji Boping's mouth, it has become the credit of the secrets mastered by Liu Yun. He will definitely be so angry that he vomits blood. , but speaking of it, most people also believe that the eldest son of the Dongfang family is just lucky, or he is just here to get some credit.
"You mean, the Dongfang family is just a stepping stone for Liu Yun to return to the capital, or even to return to the Ji family?" Ji Donglin frowned, "I don't think Liu Yun is such a scheming person."
In fact, what Ji Donglin was thinking about was that Liu Yun came back for revenge?
Ji Donglin carefully raised his eyes and looked at his mother and second brother. They all knew that Mengxian married Linyang in order to avoid the draft and even committed suicide in the palace. Mengxian met the late emperor without telling everyone, After receiving the imperial decree from the late emperor, she was allowed to marry away from Linyang. Everyone thought that the late emperor married the sweetheart of Prince Ling's heart because he did not want the marriage between Prince Ling and the Ji family. However, Ji Donglin knew that these were not the real reasons.
In the Ji family, Ji Donglin and Ji Mengxian have the best relationship. This sister will always tell him, the eldest brother, anything she has to do, so he always knows more than others. He also knows that she is struggling between her sweetheart and the interests of the family. She struggled, and finally gave up everything and left. Only he knew how painful she felt.
So now that her daughter has returned to the Ji family, he can't help but wonder whether Ji Mengxian is unwilling to let her daughter marry into the Hou family, and the purpose is to harm the Ji family, which once caused her great pain. family revenge.
"No matter what, Donglin shouldn't get involved in this matter. Boping has sent people to keep an eye on Qian Yage. If she knows what's best, even if she doesn't, she might be able to find some clues for us." Ji After the old lady said this, Ji Donglin just shook his fist secretly and did not refute his mother's words after all. Perhaps he also hoped that Liu Yun would know something.
