Su Xinguang noticed his sister's gaze, and his eyes were fixed on the sedan chair.
"I'll go upstairs first."
Su Yin stood up and walked towards the private room on the second floor. After giving her name, the waiter led her to the last private room on the second floor.
Not long after she sat down, the door of the box was pushed open.
The waiter left and considerately closed the door of the box. The maid stood guard outside the door. Only when there were only two of them in the room did they greet each other.
"Madam Hou, long time no see." Su Yin spoke first.
Heng Youyi smiled and said, "It's been a long time since we last met. How have you been lately?"
"Everything is the same as before." Su Yin looked at Heng Youyi's slightly bulging belly, "Is it hard?"
Heng Youyi touched her bulging belly and said, "Once you get used to it, it can be removed in a few months."
Even if it's fake, it's tiring to wear it every day and not be able to relax in front of people.
When Heng Youyi thought about the fact that he had eliminated the threat of Fu Wenlin, his tense nerves finally relaxed for a moment. Although he looked a little tired, he was in good spirits.
Su Yin could see it, she picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, and spoke softly and casually, "There is a piece of news from the palace, I think Sister Heng will be very interested."
Heng Youyi's expression paused, "You say."
"Your Majesty has been worried about money in recent days, and someone recommended the Heng family to Your Majesty."
The meaning is very clear. Even if Fu Wenlin is gone, there will be a second Lin Wenlin or Zhang Wenlin. These people will continue to emerge. As long as their Heng family is the richest family in the northern region, they will not be able to escape the fate of being destroyed.
The expression on Heng Youyi's face was no longer comfortable, his brows were knitted tightly together, and he felt as if a rope was tied around his neck tightly and he couldn't break free, and couldn't breathe freely.
"Sister Heng, our emperor is not a kind-hearted person. Since the Heng family has caught his eye, if the Heng family wants to get out of this unscathed, I'm afraid they will have to spend all their wealth."
"Giving away all the family wealth is still the best outcome. I'm afraid that even if you offer it with both hands, His Majesty will still suspect whether the Heng family has hidden other money. In order to prevent the Heng family from doing this, it is better to cut it off cleanly. What do you think?"
Every word and sentence that Su Yin spoke was spoken softly, but when it fell on Heng Youyi, it was like a sharp, cold knife, piercing into her heart inch by inch, making it difficult for her to breathe.
Heng Youyi thought that she had secured the position of Marquis's wife and was in control of the entire Marquis' Mansion. After the child was born, she would let him inherit the title. With the Marquis' Mansion as a shield, she could at least protect the Heng family.
But now she found that she was a little too naive.
After Heng Youyi calmed down, he looked up at the girl in front of him and said, "Sister Yinyin, do you have any good ideas?"
Su Yin was not vague, and refusing would seem a bit hypocritical.
"Find a backer and give the money to that person."
As soon as these words came out, Heng Youyi was completely stunned, as if she didn't expect such an unreliable idea to come from her mouth.
Heng Youyi pointed out directly, "Who else in Dayong can compete with His Majesty? I'm afraid that as soon as our Heng family surrenders, the so-called backer will hand us over to His Majesty, or even directly swallow us up."
"In this case, it is better to surrender directly to His Majesty. Perhaps there is still a glimmer of hope."
Su Yin shook her head, "Why do you only need one backer?"
Heng Youyi was stunned for a moment, then his eyes were slightly stunned, "You mean..."
"What if the King of Qin, the King of Jing, the King of Yun, and the King of Wu were all your Heng family's backers? When the Emperor attacks your Heng family, the four forces will protect you at the same time. Do you think the Emperor can still succeed?"
Heng Youyi was completely stunned.
If the other families knew about this, wouldn't the Heng family be...
Su Yin spoke again, "The four princes are all short of money. Even if they are not short of money, no prince would complain about having too much money."
"In fact, you don't have to be too honest. When you surrendered to Prince Jing, you could have told him openly that Prince Qin threatened the Heng family, but the Heng family was more optimistic about Prince Jing. As for Prince Qin's affairs, your Heng family didn't want him to be embarrassed, so you pretended to surrender to him and acted as an insider for him in the hope that he would protect the Heng family."
"You are offering honesty and the value of equal exchange, and your mortal enemy is watching you closely. Do you think Prince Jing will accept you or push you away?"
"I'm just giving you a simple example. It's up to you how to proceed."
Heng Youyi was stunned for a long while, and it took him a long time to find his voice, "I'll consider it."
"Whether it's the King of Qin, the King of Jing, the King of Yun, or the King of Wu, as long as you delay for a while, there may be new discoveries." Su Yin gave a hint.
Heng Youyi knew that she was not the kind of person who acted without purpose, and kept the matter in mind.
"Sister Heng, who do you think is more suitable to take the seat among the four princes?"
Heng Youyi pondered for a moment, "The King of Qin is narrow-minded and vindictive. He is not a good monarch. The King of Yun has no sympathy for the lower class people and is extremely licentious. Once he sits in that position, Dayong will be in danger!"
"As for Prince Jing, he appears to be very elegant and graceful in front of outsiders, but I have seen him torture and kill a groom."
When this matter was mentioned, Heng Youyi frowned, obviously disgusted by it.
"It's the King of Wu, who has no ambitions and only wants to be a free and easy prince. If he were to take that position, I'm afraid..."
Heng Youyi analyzed the four people who currently have the ability to compete for the throne, and finally shook his head in dissatisfaction.
Su Yin said faintly, "Sister Heng, have you ever heard a saying?"
“The dog that doesn’t bark is the cruelest.”
Heng Youyi understood immediately and was surprised.
She was surprised at the King Wu's evaluation of her, and even more surprised at why Su Yin made such an evaluation.
In the entire Shangjing City, and even among several princes, everyone said that the King of Wu was a carefree prince with no ambitions.
"Sister Heng, if you want to protect the Heng family, you don't want the current one to sit in that position for a long time. If he sits there for one day, the knife over your Heng family's head will fall at any time."
"The best way to deal with the Heng family is to replace someone else to sit in that position, right?"
Heng Youyi nodded.
"But among the four most advantageous ones now, if any one of them takes the throne, do you think they will become the next Rong Xian Emperor?"
This issue is very realistic and bloody.
Heng Youyi was silent.
"Sister Heng, do you think there is only one dead end for your Heng family?" Su Yin hit the nail on the head.
Heng Youyi gave a bitter smile.
Being too rich is sometimes a sin.
But those wealth were accumulated by the Heng family from generation to generation, not obtained by plundering the people.
Su Yin stopped talking about this topic and started talking about trivial matters instead.
Heng Youyi also followed her lead in the conversation.
The two chatted for a while, and Heng Youyi quickly got up and left.
After all, she had just lost her father, so it was not appropriate for her to stay outside for long.
Before leaving, Su Yin asked a question.
