Chapter 735 Meng Yunzheng has planned his escape route
Shu Yu calmly took a sip of tea. In any case, the Second Prince and Gong Qiu were indeed related by blood.
Meng Yunzheng tapped his fingers lightly on the table. "You're right, no, you could also say yes. But we can't interfere in this matter. We have to let the Third Prince stumble upon it and guide him to think in this direction."
Shu Yu gave a thumbs up, "Smart."
Although the plot says that the male and female leads stumbled upon their affair, she has already verified that the process can be changed, as long as the ending remains the same.
If the male and female leads were replaced with the third prince, then this son would become a thorn in the emperor's side, and the fifth prince would be able to extricate himself from the situation.
but……
"Will this implicate you?" Shu Yu put down her cup, still somewhat worried. "Although you don't acknowledge Gong Qiu, he is still your father. If he commits this crime, the entire Gong family may be implicated."
The book does say that the emperor didn't want to make a big deal out of it, so the rest of the Gong family was fine.
The Gong family eventually declined and quickly disappeared from public conversation.
But who knows if something unexpected might happen?
But Meng Yunzheng didn't seem worried about this at all.
"You just said it yourself, you could say he is your son even if he isn't. And you could say I'm not. Whether it's true or false, as long as we have evidence and enough power, it's up to us to decide what to say, isn't it?"
He seemed to have been prepared for this all along. "Don't worry, from the day I decided to bring him down, I had already planned my escape route."
His life was saved by his mother's desperate protection, so how could he easily give it up and perish together with such a person?
Shu Yu was relieved to hear her say that.
Meng Yunzheng solemnly raised his head, took her hand, and said softly, "Ayu, thank you."
Shu Yu raised an eyebrow. "I told you before, I may not be good at other things, but I'm still smart. Did this idea I gave you open up a new way of thinking?"
Meng Yunzheng was taken aback, then couldn't help but chuckle. "Yes, you're very quick-witted. But the thank you I'm referring to isn't that. I want to thank you for listening to so much I've said, yet still standing firmly by my side, willing to stand by me through thick and thin."
"It's alright, just let me share the wealth and prosperity in the future."
"Cough cough." A soft cough suddenly came from outside the window.
Meng Yunzheng withdrew his hand and looked at the head outside the window. "What is it?"
Zhao Xi, trying to save face, explained, "I didn't hear anything. I immediately spoke up to warn you as soon as I got here. Um, please come out after you've finished talking. My grandma said it's been too long and she's worried you might do something bad."
After saying that, he ran away, looking like he was afraid of being beaten.
Shu Yu looked at his retreating figure with a complicated expression and asked Meng Yunzheng, "Zhao Xi calls me 'Grandma' now, and it sounds so natural to him."
"..." Meng Yunzheng remained silent. In fact, he had wanted to call him that too.
"Alright, I'll head out now, otherwise my grandma will come over herself later." Shu Yu stood up, looking at Meng Yunzheng's exhausted face. This man had already rushed back, covered in dust, and hadn't even had a chance to rest before talking so much. Not only was his body exhausted, but his mind was also taking its toll.
"You should rest. We can talk about other things later."
"good."
Shu Yu walked out the door and saw Zhao Xi still peeking around not far away. She couldn't help but roll her eyes and then turned to Meng Yunzheng to ask, "So Zhao Xi was sent by your father and his master to be your attendant?"
