Chapter 153 This person is really talented in crooked ways

Lu Xinling's maid was an expert at getting information, and soon she found out that several princes had already entered the palace.

But now that they were in Cai's courtyard, they couldn't seem to find a suitable excuse to go there.

However, Lu Xinran was silently calculating the width of Cai's courtyard.

Although the Sun family was prominent, Sun Linyuan was still the head of the family. Cai had not yet lived to be an old lady, so her courtyard was only in the center of the backyard, and the courtyard was not the magnificent one with five courtyards in front and back.

As long as they go around the back of the yard and calculate the distance, they should be able to find Song Junhe's booklet.

She thought this as she walked, without saying anything, and the people around her followed her tacitly.

Behind them were the ladies who wanted to join in the fun. They walked towards the back of Cai's courtyard at a distance from each other, under the surprised gazes of the servants in the Sun residence.

[This is it, this location is just right~]

The familiar voice almost made Song Junhe, who had been tense, jump up.

He was about to leave Cai's courtyard without a second thought, but Song Junhua stood up and stopped him with a fake smile.

"Brother, today is the old lady's birthday. You have been away for several months and just returned to the capital the day before yesterday. You haven't seen the old lady for several days. There is no reason for you to leave in such a hurry."

His words sounded so high-sounding that Song Junhe wanted to slap her in the face.

"Prince Yu just came back. He has been busy with the court and has not had time to rest properly. Let him find a yard to rest properly. After he rests, he will have time to talk to an old woman like me."

Cai hurriedly spoke up to smooth things over for her precious grandson, but unfortunately, after being distracted for so long, Lu Xinran's speed in flipping through the booklet had increased significantly.

However, while she was talking, she had already read all the newly updated contents of Song Junhe's booklet at a glance.

[I knew that people like him would not let go of the disaster relief money! ]

[He used the tricks to the extreme. Of the 500,000 taels of silver used for disaster relief, he spent less than 100,000 taels on the people.]

[He used rhetoric to make the officials in Jiangnan think that he would become the crown prince, and he gained nearly 200,000 taels of wealth from these officials.]

[He took the opportunity to have someone use the money to buy a farm in the south, and then... huh? These farms were not used for farming, but people fenced off the land, leveled the land inside, and let people practice on the farms.]

[Training? Why would a prince like him train his own soldiers? ]

The last sentence clearly conveys confusion.

She was still guessing Song Junhe's purpose, but Song Junhua finally had a relieved smile on his face.

It didn't matter why his good brother was training private soldiers; this action was enough for him to take the opportunity to bring him down.

[Song Junhe is not planning to train thousands of people and then bring them to the capital to force the emperor to abdicate, right? ]

[Almost all the money he embezzled was spent on land and recruiting people.]

[He also sent people to search for people in the nearby mountains, hoping to find some skilled people among the bandits' dens in the mountains.]

[Before he returned to Beijing, those farms had already attracted quite a few people, most of whom were refugees who had heard that he had enough food and warm clothes and had gathered there.]

[He used the money from the disaster relief to buy land and property for himself. Then, those refugees who could not get help from the court had no choice but to sell their lives to him in order to survive and then move into the land and property he bought with the money from the disaster relief.]

[This is logic! Wow, I’m impressed! ]

[This person is really talented in crooked ways. ]

[If this kind of person becomes emperor, he will definitely destroy the Chu kingdom in his hands without dying in the second generation.]

In Cai's room, everyone looked at Song Junhe in surprise.

Such disaster relief...he is such a genius!

Song Junhe's face turned from red to white and then from white to black. He had obviously handled this matter very carefully. As long as he could avoid Lu Xinran, the true story of this matter would not be known to others.

But, he just returned to Beijing!

"Brother, why don't we go to the palace together later to meet our father?"

So many people heard about this, there was no need for him to think of ways to frame someone.

The more Song Junhua thought about it, the more proud he became. His position in his father's heart had always been second only to Song Junhe.

With the charge of raising private soldiers, Song Junhe will never be able to hold that position in his life.

[No, no, he has already embellished this matter and mentioned it to the emperor.]

[The emperor took the beauty he had specially brought back from Yangcheng, and did not investigate his actions in Jiangnan.]

[He claimed that taking these refugees into his farms was a way of giving them a place to settle down and was a benevolent act of tolerance and kindness. The court officials who supported him had even written memorials praising him, and Zheng He would deliver them to the emperor's desk in a day or two.]

[He really did a lot of work during his trip to Jiangnan. He had no time to spare. The emperor should give him a model worker award and let all the court officials and princes follow his example~]

The eavesdroppers: "..."

Cai weakly picked up the tea bowl and wiped the cold sweat from her forehead while drinking the tea.

She knew that this young man from the Lu family was a nuisance and must not be allowed to stay!

No, she would not let that guy harm her precious grandson again even if she risked her life.

Cai was furious, and Lu Xinran, who was standing outside the back wall, sneezed loudly.

"But you caught a cold?"

Kong walked forward with concern and wanted to touch her forehead. Lu Xinran suddenly felt a bad premonition in her heart.

The words "it's okay" that were about to come out of her mouth turned into "Auntie, why don't my sister and I go back home first? Please help us talk to grandma."

Kong nodded immediately. What this girl said just now almost exposed Prince Yu's past.

And it's the kind of background that can cost someone's life.

She was now afraid that Prince Yu would be desperate and reckless, so it would be a wise choice to return home while everyone was still in shock.

As soon as the two of them left Sun's house, they met a few people from the Zhang family who were late in arriving in front of the courtyard gate. When Zhang Shui'er saw them, she immediately came up to them.

"What are you doing?"

"My sister is not feeling well. I will go back home with her first."

Zhang Shui'er looked at Lu Xinran, whose face was flushed, with suspicion, and always felt that... this was a lie.

It was not until she watched them leave and learned from others what had happened after they went in that she cried out in shock.

"Prince Yu, is he going to die?"

Mrs. Qiu pinched her arm and looked around to tell her not to talk nonsense.

It's not that Prince Yu is not willing to die, it's obviously that girl who is not willing to die, as she actually dared to dig out everything.

Cai, who had already made up her mind, arranged 108 ways for Lu Xinran to die. Just as she asked her trusted nanny to arrange them, she received news from the servants.

That damn girl actually slipped back to Lu's house first.

Lu Xinran returned to the mansion to check the system, and as expected, the life points were not calculated.

"Tongzi, how many life points do you think can be calculated this time?"

The system came out excitedly and calculated for a while, "If Song Junhe is in big trouble, we can at least settle for one month."

If the emperor is willing to demote him completely, then three to five months is possible.

Just as one person and one system were sighing, Cuizhu walked in quickly.

"Girl, the eldest lady wants you to come over. She said someone from Shuntian Prefecture wants you to come over and help."
