Even if Shen Changfeng had no ill intentions, the two of them had been in a competitive relationship for so many years despite being relatives, and Wen Yao didn't want to have anything to do with him.
Intuition told Wen Yao that Shen Changfeng had a good impression of him, but this man was too deep in the city and had a mysterious background, so Wen Yao had always kept away from him.
Now that I have made a marriage agreement with Yuan Rui, I must keep a distance from such ambiguous male friends.
"Thank you for your kindness, but I would rather chat with my young husband. I'll take my leave. Goodbye, Mr. Shen."
Shen Changfeng smiled, as expected, "Miss Wen, walk slowly."
Shen Changfeng also admired his gentle sense of propriety. When dealing with smart people, you never need to say anything, just a look is enough.
…
Shen Changfeng's words made Wen Yao a little worried. Could it be that Duke Liang still couldn't avoid the fate of his previous life?
He went directly to Prince Jing's Mansion to find Yuan Rui. Not only was he at home, but also the whole family of Prince Jing's Mansion, as well as the palace's staff and several powerful-looking generals, all of whom were the backbone of the effort to plead for Duke Liang.
Yuan Rui didn't expect Wen Yao to come, but he didn't shy away from it and let Wen Yao participate in their discussion.
Wen Yao was a little flattered: "Is it appropriate for me to go in?"
"There is nothing inappropriate. You are also from Prince Jing's palace and a member of the family! Don't worry, I will take care of everything."
Wen Yao's heart warmed up, and she followed him in without any pretense, mainly because she wanted to help. After so many efforts, now she has failed, and she still couldn't save Liang Guogong's palace, which was a big blow to everyone in Prince Jing's palace.
Princess Jing might not be able to survive it and would be furious to death.
Wen Yao's arrival made everyone in the room look different. Several generals were a little displeased. Why did a woman come to join in the fun? Can she listen to this?
King Jing's eyes flickered, but he didn't care. He didn't like this daughter-in-law, but the old princess liked her, so it was useless for him to object, and he didn't like Wen Yao.
"I've met you gentlemen, grandma, hello, Princess. I'd be rude if I didn't come in person. I came because I heard some bad news. Since everyone is here, it's time to tell everyone and give me some advice."
Princess Jing was anxious at first: "What bad news? We have united most of the military generals in the court, as well as many noble families, and they have jointly written a blood letter to plead for my brother. Isn't this also okay? ?”
Only then did Wen Yao see that there was a one-meter-long scroll on the table, with countless names signed on it and bloody handprints, all pleading for Duke Liang's mercy.
"so many people?"
The old princess said: "We two old people have used all our relationships over the years, which is still rare. Some old guys ignore worldly affairs, and I didn't bother them."
The old princess was a little proud. Her natal family was also a family of military commanders. Even if the old stories of her disciples were known all over the world, half of them could be connected. The Duke of Liang was upright and upright. Many soldiers respected Duke Liang and asked them to intercede for the Liang family. No one could refuse.
Wen Yao had an intuition that something was wrong, but she couldn't explain it. Could it be Shen Changfeng's words?
"If the weight is not enough, I will go out of my way and invite a few more old guys to come out. Who can't trust the character of the Liang family? How can I be a lackey of a foreign race if I don't be loyal to the court?"
The old princess wants to scold the emperor. What is going on in her mind?
His son rebelled, and it was impossible for Liang Guogong to rebel.
"Yaoyao, what do you want to do here?"
Wen Yao retracted her thoughts and said: "It's no big deal. It's just that Su Nanyi, the side concubine of the East Palace, did not die. She faked her death and left the palace. My brother discovered her by accident. She turned out to be a spy from a foreign race.
However, Mr. Zhao from Dali Temple has shot all the foreigners and is now thoroughly investigating the people behind the scenes. I don’t know if these people have anything to do with our matter."
Yuan Rui thought for a while and said: "Have all the foreigners reached out to the East Palace? This is not good. The prince also has the responsibility to recognize people who do not understand. The emperor will definitely reprimand the prince."
King Lao Jing said: "Just reprimand me. Isn't it natural for me to discipline my son? The prince has been reprimanded a lot. It's not like the prince has colluded with foreigners. Is he tired of living?"
Wen Yao's expression darkened, "What if someone slanders the prince? This kind of thing can be big or small. If the prince doesn't handle it properly, he may be disgusted by the emperor, and it may even shake the prince's position."
A general named Chen said displeasedly: "What does the matter in the East Palace have to do with us? If we have the time, it is better to contact more people to make this blood letter more weighty. That is the business!"
A woman's house is a woman's house after all. What does the grudges and grudges in the inner house have to do with the court?
Wen Yao said: "I think the matter in the East Palace is also very important. It is also the target of the aliens. Moreover, we helped the prince and made the prince on our side. He is also a very important figure!"
The old princess smiled: "Yaoyao is right, he has a great perspective on the overall situation. Let's go check and find out what's going on in the East Palace now?"
When the palace staff got up to investigate, Wen Yao stopped talking. Some people were already dissatisfied with her high profile just now. After all, she hadn't really married yet.
The old princess divided her work and contacted more people to plead for the Liang family.
It is worth mentioning that Yuan Jingzhou had no mission. As the prospective son-in-law of the Liang family, he should have contributed the most, but he seemed to be a marginal figure from the beginning to the end. No one asked his opinion, and he seemed to be just here to make up the numbers.
Wen Yao looked at Yuan Jingzhou's cold and calm eyes, with occasional sarcastic curves at the corners of his mouth, as if looking at a group of clowns, and his heart skipped a beat. If he didn't help, would he be holding him back?
It shouldn’t be right?
After all, he is his son-in-law. Even if he doesn't like Princess Jing, he has been married for so many years and has given birth to two excellent children. He can't hope that the Liang family will die, right?
If Wen Yao hadn't met his adopted family, Wen Yao might not have believed it, but now he's not sure.
Yuan Rui accompanied Wen Yao for a walk in Prince Jing's Mansion, just to get familiar with the environment in advance.
"This is our yard, which is being cleaned up. Grandma said she wanted the best, so she just had to tear down the house and build it again. Take a look at what kind of furniture and furnishings you like. Pick them out early so I can arrange them.
"
Wen Yao said: "I like everything you choose. These are not important. Yuan Rui, there is something I don't know how to tell you."
Yuan Rui was funny: "What else can't you say to me? Yaoyao, why are you my mother-in-law?"
Wen Yao had no choice but to say: "It's about your father. I have an intuition that he doesn't want to let the Liang family off the hook. You'd better pay more attention to him."
"Originally I shouldn't have instigated the relationship between your father and son, but Liang Guogong is a loyal man and doesn't tolerate any mistakes. It's better to be careful."
