Chapter 120 A Promise Worth a Thousand Pieces

Chapter 120

When Qin Sheng came back, his wife had already cleaned up a small study next to his study. He took a look and saw that the large desk, chairs, bookshelves, antique shelves, chaise longue, long wool blankets, etc. were all placed, and the whole study was very comfortable.

Lu Songli was sorting out the materials at the desk at this time. Seeing that Qin Sheng successfully got what she wanted, she smiled at him, "Thank you for your hard work. Go change your clothes first. Let's go to pay respects to mother later? After paying respects, go to see the fourth brother and burn a stick of incense for him."

Qin Sheng hummed, and his eyes unconsciously glanced at the materials on her desk.

Qin Sheng paused, "Are you collecting evidence on the Xie and Zhao families?"

After Lu Songli took the brocade box, she couldn't wait to open it, and then took out the materials inside and scanned them at a glance. Hearing his question, she replied casually, "Yes, it's almost done. The things I have in my hand are enough to make them fall down." The kind that may not be able to get up.

"Just now when I left Xue's house, Xue Huaimin asked me to tell you to be careful of Xie Zhan."

As soon as Lu Songli heard it, she knew that Xie Zhan had already voted for the Fourth Prince. She had reviewed several times before, trying to find out the new think tank around the Fourth Prince. She always felt that something was subconsciously overlooked by her. When she heard Xue Huaimin's reminder, she realized that she had made a mistake.

She said that the Xie and Zhao families had been a little too quiet recently. The death of the prince in the northern border was such a big thing. She didn't believe that Xie Zhan could bear not to take advantage of the opportunity to fish in troubled waters. Presumably, the other party also took advantage of this wedding preparation to do a lot of big things, right?

But it doesn't matter. Before she guessed this, she was also on guard against the Xie and Zhao families, and she also prepared big gifts for them.

Qin Sheng looked doubtful about life. He opened his mouth, hesitated for a while, and finally didn't speak.

Seeing that his expression was not right, Lu Songli asked curiously, "What's wrong? If you have something to say, just say it directly. We are husband and wife. I won't hide anything from you."

"Didn't you and Xie Zhan agree to a truce?" Qin Sheng asked.

Lu Songli understood immediately. It turned out that he heard the conversation between her and Xie Zhan at Hongsheng Restaurant that day. Yes, when he came over, their conversation was coming to an end.

Lu Songli couldn't help laughing when she heard it, and then the more she thought about it, the funnier it became.

Her husband was really simple. She and Xie Zhan didn't believe in the truce agreement between the two families, but Qin Sheng believed it.

Qin Sheng had a numb face. For the first time, he doubted whether his keen five senses were a good thing or a bad thing?

Lu Songli stopped smiling after a while and said to Qin Sheng, "People who wield power have dirty hearts. Don't believe what they say. The gentleman's agreement made by people like Xie Zhan has no binding force on him. Whoever believes it is a fool. Of course, it has no binding force on me either."

Qin Sheng: So he is the fool.

"If you are like this, why does Xue Huaimin believe you?"

"What am I like? Xie Zhan has already made a move, but I haven't made a move yet. Your questioning attitude is very good, but next time, don't say such words." Lu Songli couldn't help but stretched out her hand and pinched his face,

"As for Xue Huaimin, he had to believe it. He was busy for so many years, and finally made wedding clothes for others. Do you think he can really swallow that breath? As for his concubine and illegitimate son in Xinghua Hutong, I have asked people to move them away."

It turned out that his concubine and illegitimate son lived in Xinghua Hutong. Qin Sheng couldn't tell what it felt like. The legitimate sons and daughters of the Xue family suffered because of him, but the concubines and illegitimate sons escaped because of his blessing, and they had money to rely on, so they could live comfortably.

"So don't worry, I have always been a man of my word." Lu Songli said to him seriously.

Qin Sheng:...

After Qin Sheng was done, the two went to pay their respects to Mrs. Qin. At this time, Qin Heng and Qin Sanlang and his wife were all there.

As the new daughter-in-law, Lu Songli served tea and changed her words.

They all drank the tea she served, and then gave gifts in return.

At this point, the wedding procedures were all completed.

Then, Mrs. Qin kept them in the main courtyard for breakfast.

Just then, the doorman came to report that the master of the Lu family and the second young master of the Lu family came to the door.

Mrs. Qin naturally asked someone to invite him in.

Qin Heng took a look at the sky and estimated that Lu Desheng, the uncle-in-law, would come directly to the Qin family after the court.

Lu Desheng felt that it was not good for him to come alone, so he brought his youngest son.

When Lu Desheng came to the door, Mrs. Qin and Qin Heng accompanied him for a while, and then asked Qin Sheng and Lu Songli to take Lu Desheng and his son back to their yard.

Lu Songli led them directly to her study.

As soon as he sat down, Lu Desheng looked at Qin Sheng and his youngest son.

Before he could speak, Lu Songli asked, "Dad, did something happen?"

Lu Desheng understood that his daughter wanted the two boys to stay here. He thought about it and realized that both of them were tight-lipped, so he stopped thinking about clearing the court.

"Daughter, let me tell you, this morning's court..." Lu Desheng told his daughter about the matter.

Qin Sheng pursed his lips tightly when he heard people in the court shouting for his father to let the Qin family take responsibility.

When Lu Mingzhi heard his father talking about the Queen Mother stopping him from seeing the Emperor, he felt suffocated. Oh my God, the Queen Mother didn't like their Lu family, and the Fourth Prince wanted to kill the Qin family. The Emperor did like his father, but wasn't he dying? The last ones left were the new emperor and the honorable Queen Mother. Neither of them had a good impression of their two families, and no matter how they thought about it, they felt that there was no future.

"Dad, don't panic. I just found something interesting. I'll get it for you." Lu Songli took out one of the documents and handed it to her father.

Lu Desheng took a look and said happily, "Is this true?"

Lu Songli nodded, "Absolutely true."

Lu Mingzhi leaned over to take a look, but was pushed away by Lu Desheng with disdain. He said happily, "Okay, okay, with this, that person won't be able to get any good."

After saying that, he stood up, "My daughter, I'm leaving first. This matter should be handled as soon as possible. I'll arrange it as soon as possible!"

Lu Songli also thought so, so she stood up to see him off.

After Lu Desheng said hello to Qin Sheng, he dragged his son away in a hurry.

"What information did you give your father-in-law?" Qin Sheng was puzzled.

Lv Songli whispered a few words, and Qin Sheng was surprised, "This Xue Huaimin still has such a handle?"

Lv Songli smiled lightly and said nothing. The elixir that Emperor Kangcheng took was actually related to the Queen Mother's brother. Xue Huaimin held this handle to guard against the Queen Mother. In his plan, if the fourth prince was blocked from ascending the throne after the death of Emperor Kangcheng, he would use it to negotiate with the Queen Mother. Now it's a bargain for Lv Songli.

She had long guessed that Xue Huaimin must have some unknown cards in his hand. If she was Xie Zhan, when she decided to pick peaches, once Xue Huaimin was exposed to the emperor, she would find a way to coax the things in Xue Huaimin's hand out first, and then kill Xue Huaimin. Anyway, the emperor wanted Xue Huaimin to die, and even if he died accidentally, the emperor would not pursue it.

So, Xie Zhan still missed a move. He probably thought his plan was flawless.

She couldn't save the people the emperor was determined to take away, such as her father-in-law Qin Yue, but she could send a few more people to the emperor so that he could take them away. She could still do it.
