Shangguan Shu narrowed his eyes.
"A few days ago, Zhao Lu's husband, Zhao Quan, came to me privately and said he wanted to trade a secret for the position of Salt Commissioner. I was curious, so I listened."
"He said... many years ago, his brother Zhao Yan and Princess Chengqian had an affair. In order to get you, Princess Chengqian asked Zhao Yan to destroy Princess Huai'an. Princess Huai'an was caught in public having an affair with Zhao Yan, and Empress Xiaomin used this as an excuse to marry Princess Huai'an off to the Xiongnu..."
Just like Huai'an said.
"Who else knows about this?"
"Brother, I've told Zhao Quan to shut up. I'm sure he won't talk to outsiders anymore."
Shangguan Shu had a blank expression on his face and said nothing, but he quickly figured out the whole story.
Two situations.
One is that what Huai'an said is true.
But he didn't believe it!
He understood Zhao Ying. Although she was a rebellious person behind the scenes, she would never do such a shameful thing! Besides... she preferred handsome men. The two men from Prince Jing's Mansion were not to her liking!
That is...what Huai'an said was false.
After all that he'd been through, Shangguan Shu no longer had any expectations of Huai'an's character...
In this way, Zhao Quan deliberately went to find Shangguan Zhu and spread the matter deliberately.
Whoever benefits from this matter being spread will be the one behind it.
That’s Huai’an!
Zhao Quan...I'm afraid he has already become hers...
Once this matter got out, he couldn't imagine how great the public opinion risk would be for Queen Xiaomin and Zhao Ying.
Huaian holds a high position in the hearts of the people. She is the mother of the spirit boy and prays for the country. If the people knew that Princess Huaian was insulted and then married off to the Xiongnu...
Shangguan Shu sneered.
Seeing Shangguan Shu's expression, Shangguan Zhu thought Shangguan Shu believed it, so he said calmly, "Actually...sister-in-law did this simply because she admires you, brother..."
Just keep to the point.
Shangguan Shu heard this and the smile on his face was extremely sarcastic.
Would Zhao Ying resort to such means for him?
He had not forgotten their wedding night when she pulled him off the bed and lay down on it herself, feeling so at ease.
He now strongly suspected that she was attracted to his face at the beginning.
What a superficial woman!
The two brothers returned to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.
Zhao Yao and Hu Yanxue were waiting at the door. When they saw them coming down, they came over to greet them.
"Runlang..."
Shangguan Shu's face darkened, and he said coldly, "Follow me to the study!"
"good!"
