"Just as Mother said, if the King doesn't listen once or twice, eventually, the lie will become the truth. So, Mother told the Qin family to keep a low profile. These past few years, I've either been sent on assignments or stayed at home. Even when I went to the Ministry of War, I only went briefly. Isn't that keeping a low profile? Yet, those people still impeach me, and the King is still wary."
Thinking of this, Qin Su couldn't help but curl the corners of his lips. According to what Mo Lan said, those people in the court who were opposed to the Qin family, and the Ji State King who was wary of the Qin family on the throne, were they the so-called instigators?
Under constant pressure, Ji State had no place for him to stand, which fueled his desire to rebel!
"She's right, those people are the ones who are pushing the Qin family forward."
Looking at the young master's expression, Piaoxue paused for a moment, "The ruler of Ji is indecisive, and his descendants are all mediocre. Even if the young master doesn't take action, he will be challenged by other feudal lords, and the task of launching a campaign will still fall on the young master's shoulders. Rather than working for a ruler who doesn't trust us, it's better to take his place."
While Tingyu was drying the young master's hair, he listened to Piaoxue's harsh words and couldn't help but smack his lips. Everyone around him was a ruthless person!
In just a few words, he could talk about the imperial court, the emperor and his ministers, and rebellion without hesitation.
Luckily, he had a strong heart; most people wouldn't have been able to withstand it. "Boss, how about I prepare more medicine, and at the New Year's Eve palace banquet, knock everyone out and just seize the throne!"
"Shut up," Piaoxue glared at him. Luckily, the people around them were all theirs. If even half a word of today's conversation had leaked out, it would have been enough to wipe out an entire family.
Tingyu pouted; she thought she sounded great talking to herself, but others couldn't pull it off.
"Alright, go and rest." Qin Su raised his hand to smooth his mask, his eyes sparkling. "By the way, tomorrow send someone to inquire about the surrounding shipyards. That girl is planning to build two ships."
"yes,"
Piaoxue's expressionless face cracked slightly. He had heard it clearly: Miss Molan wanted to open a pleasure boat and a small restaurant. He didn't expect the young master to agree. It seemed that the young master valued that girl more than he had imagined.
As dawn broke, the manager of Fengqiao Restaurant stood outside the fenced courtyard, looking around frequently. When he saw the tightly closed doors, a look of doubt flashed in his eyes.
I clearly heard fighting sounds yesterday, why is it so quiet?
"What do you want?" Han Shuang asked coldly, standing behind the shopkeeper.
"Hehe... Miss, you've gone out so early?" The shopkeeper looked at the food box in Han Shuang's hand and immediately greeted her with a smile. He had a very deep impression of this cold-faced girl.
Han Shuang looked up at the sun, which was almost overhead. "It's getting late; the sun is already quite high in the sky."
After glancing at the shopkeeper's embarrassed expression, he simply walked past him, pushed open the gate, and went inside.
The shopkeeper watched as Han Shuang pushed open the door and entered the room. He stood there for a while before turning to leave. He couldn't help but wonder to himself, "Did he hallucinate last night?"
When Mo Lan woke up, it was already afternoon. Han Shuang was sitting on the soft couch by the window, wiping the long sword in her hand.
"Han Shuang, what time is it?" Mo Lan sat up, raised her hand to rub her temples, suffering from a hangover headache.
"At the last minute of the hour, I prepared congee and side dishes for the eldest brother to soothe his stomach."
Han Shuang put down her sword, picked up the clothes from the side and helped Mo Lan put them on. Seeing that her boss didn't look very energetic, she couldn't help but say, "Boss, you can't hold your liquor. Drink less in the future."
