Since that's the case, he'll make Xie Xiangxiang owe him a favor and do everything in her power for him. If Xie Xiangxiang can be devoted to him, it wouldn't be impossible to keep her for a few more years.

Thinking of this, he said seriously, "If Third Uncle were to bend the law for Third Aunt's sake or pull strings behind the scenes, then the Crown Prince is not to be trifled with. With the Empress Dowager, the Empress, and the Eldest Princess also involved, even His Majesty cannot protect Third Uncle."

Xie Xiangxiang almost jumped up, desperately suppressing her excitement as she asked, "Really? Does that mean Third Uncle is very likely to be dismissed from his post?"

"More than that! If things go wrong, it could mean beheading and exile."

"In this way, my elder sister will no longer be able to suppress me in every way."

Xie Xiangxiang was afraid that Gu Chengyan would look down on her for her malicious thoughts, so her eyes reddened and she said, "Husband, you don't know, she said to your family that you are just an empty title with no real power... I am really angry, but I dare not say anything, for fear that my husband will become estranged from Third Uncle."

Hearing these obviously divisive words, Gu Chengyan readily agreed: "Miss Xie looks so dignified, yet her mind is so filthy? Since she looks down on me so much, I don't need to be polite."

"What should my husband do?"

“Of course I will report to the Crown Prince that the women of the inner palace are interfering in the court, that my third uncle is playing power games and showing contempt for the royal family.”

Xie Xiangxiang thought for a moment and said, "Don't say anything for now. Wait until he really gets involved before you sue him. Just say that your eldest sister started this."

"Of course. Uncle San is always rational. For him to do something like this, it's just that even heroes can't resist the charms of a beautiful woman."

"Chunling, Xiahua, you two take turns keeping an eye on Qingpu Courtyard and listening for any sounds from your eldest sister."

Gu Chengyan said, "No need, I have people too."

"My lord, you are so good to me," Xie Xiangxiang said gratefully to Gu Chengyan.

Gu Chengyan: I don't know how this person's brain works...
