Miss Xu's ideas coincided with the young master's, and the two talked about everything familiarly, especially when Miss Xu finally mentioned that the young master should take the opportunity to deploy manpower in Changzhou.
If it weren't for the relationship with Marquis An Yi, Xue Chen would have already agreed. Sooner or later, the young master will occupy the southeast, and Changzhou is also a top priority. Only by controlling Changzhou can we sit south and look north, and prepare for future events.
.
But according to his previous estimates, it was too early to arrange matters in Changzhou. Changzhou was in the hands of the Zhang family, and it was obviously unwise to compete with the Zhang family, but now the situation has changed.
Xue Chen began to think about it. The Zhang family was suppressed, and the emperor intended to completely clean up the Zhang family's influence in Changzhou. If the White Dragon King had evil intentions, the entire Changzhou was now in danger. Saving Changzhou now would at least lay a good foundation for the future and leave room for the future.
.
The right time, place, and people are on their side, and the opportunity is fleeting.
Xu Qinghuan said: "People like Han Xun will not be suspected if Duoduo is emerging at this time."
With a "boom" sound, these words made Xue Chen's ears buzz, and he subconsciously looked at the young master.
Song Chengxuan looked calm: "How do you know Han Xun is from Quanzhou?"
Xu Qinghuan said: "The first time I met Mr. Han Xun at the Jiang family, I found that he had different political views from his fellow magistrates in Changzhou Prefecture.
, On the surface, it seems that we are investigating the case secretly, and Han Xun has never helped. In fact, as long as Han Xun intervenes, we will not be able to arrange everything so smoothly using the old lady Xie as a bait.
When Zhang Xing was captured, a court ship arrived, led by Han Xun. Master Song suddenly appeared on the sea and headed straight for Zhang Xing. However, Han Xun did not panic and did not let the court personnel intervene. It can be seen that Han Xun
Xun met Mr. Song.
Maybe this doesn't mean anything, but after Mr. Song came to Changzhou, our investigation went more smoothly. Mrs. Chang went to Yizhuang to check Lin Sanniang's body without any obstruction. It was not Jiangyin County Magistrate Han Xun's dereliction of duty, but him.
Do it intentionally.
As early as the Zhang family's smuggling case was uncovered, Mr. Song had already made arrangements. If the emperor wanted to investigate the case, he would definitely use his own manpower. Han Xun was not a man assigned by the Zhang family, so he would naturally be taken over by officials sent by the court.
For my own use, these days he has been by the Prince Consort's side and has clearly seen every move of the Prince Consort. Even if he has not yet found any real evidence that the Prince Consort is the White Dragon King, the news he sent is enough to make Mr. Song suspicious of the Prince Consort."
In other words, even if she didn't find the clue about Lin Sanniang, Song Chengxuan would know the truth.
Of course, it is also possible that her judgment was wrong, so she had to confirm with Song Chengxuan at this juncture.
After Xu Qinghuan said this, he turned to look at Xue Chen.
Military Advisor Xue's eyes were like blades, full of precautions and vigilance against her. If Song Chengxuan hadn't been here, Military Advisor would have begun to investigate her intentions.
Fortunately, there was enough time for her and the military advisor to get to know each other. If Xue Chen trusted her easily, then he would not be the number one think tank in the southeast, and it would be impossible for him to manage Song Hou's southeast in an orderly manner in the days to come.
Thinking of this, Xu Qinghuan suddenly realized something.
It seems that the Marquis of Song never got married in his previous life.
If she marries Song Chengxuan, wouldn't she be his only wife in his two lifetimes?
Her thoughts wandered too far, her ears turned red, and she immediately came back to her senses.
"People have expertise," Xu Qinghuan's expression returned to normal, "Master Song will go to the battlefield next and has no time to deal with these matters. If you don't worry, you can leave it to me."
Xu Qing'an next to him heard this and nodded involuntarily.
It is said that hitting someone is not a slap in the face, and exposing someone is not exposing their shortcomings.
But he doesn't think so, this is what he likes to do the most.
After investigating for so long, it was finally time to whip that man back to his original state. We must not give up this great opportunity to others.
Xue Chen's face was as dark as water. Everyone understood the superficial meaning of what Miss Xu just said. The deeper meaning was understood by everyone except the Prince of Anyi who kept winking at him and smiling stupidly.
What kind of talent would quietly place people in and look for opportunities to occupy Changzhou?
Miss Xu obviously already knows the identity of the young master.
"Sir," Zhao Tong came in and reported in a low voice, "Changzhou General Soldier has sent someone to urge you two to go to the military tent to discuss matters."
There is no need to delay any longer, otherwise someone will very likely discover something fishy.
Xue Chen stood up and looked at Xu Qinghuan: "I want to have a few words with Miss Xu alone."
Xu Qinghuan nodded.
Song Chengxuan's dark eyes were a little darker. He knew what the military advisor wanted to say. If he refused, there would be no further conversation.
Thinking of this, Song Chengxuan looked at Xu Qinghuan.
Her expression was calm, without any panic, and her clear eyes looked at him without any hesitation or scruple, just like when she agreed to marry him.
For some reason, he vaguely expected her to hesitate even a little bit.
Song Chengxuan stood up and walked out.
…
There was no one else in the room.
The two people sat across from each other, but Xue Chen didn't speak for a long time. After about a cup of tea, he finally raised his head: "Miss Xu already knows about the past."
Xue Chen pointed to the grudge between the Prince of Wei's Palace and the Marquis of Anyi's Palace.
Xu Qinghuan said: "I know."
Xue Chen frowned when he said this, probably not knowing how to mention it more appropriately.
"Master Xue would like to ask me if I can cut off contact with my natal family if I marry in Quanzhou in the future." From then on, I will only be the wife of Song Chengxuan, no longer the daughter of Marquis Anyi.
Xue Chen looked at Xu Qinghuan.
Xu Qinghuan shook his head and said firmly: "No, as a child, you cannot abandon your parents. Even if my father has made mistakes, I cannot forget the kindness of raising him for many years. Whenever I have the word "Xu" on my head, that is where I come from.
With my background, I will not force others, but I will do my best to fulfill my responsibilities as a son."
Xue Chen said: "What will you do if one day the interests of the Marquis of Anyi conflict with the young master?"
Xu Qinghuan did not hesitate: "That is the biggest disaster for me. I will try my best to avoid such a thing from happening. I can't guarantee that it will be foolproof, but I will try my best."
This is not the answer Xue Chen wants.
Maybe Xue Chen hopes that she will work hard for Song Chengxuan regardless of her own safety, and will not hesitate to oppose anyone.
Xue Chen looked outside the door. The figure who had been staying there had left. The young master should have heard Miss Xu's answer.
"No matter what the outcome is," Xue Chen said, "I hope Miss Xu will not reveal the identity of the young master to outsiders."
After saying that, Xue Chen turned around and walked out of the house.
Xu Qinghuan breathed a sigh of relief. What should come will come sooner or later. It is easy to make an engagement, but you will inevitably encounter such difficulties when you really want to practice it.
Maybe you can get past it, maybe you can stop there.
This had been on her mind from the first moment she heard about the engagement.
He has his thoughts, and she also has her persistence. She cannot cheat or cover up, she can only do her best.
