Chapter 312 Su Xue's Plan
Su Yue felt that the manpower should be withdrawn. In this information-underdeveloped society, the probability of finding someone is zero, and there is no need to waste manpower and resources to look for them.
Murong Li shook his head: "I didn't find it, but I have withdrawn most of the manpower. Our business is more important. Finding people will take more than one or two days. Luo Dinghai and his wife also understand.
Now that they have returned to Beijing and are being given important positions, and have both money and connections, he will send people to look for them himself.”
He is not stupid. He tried his best even though he couldn't find the person after searching for a while. It is impossible to have so many people just to find that one person.
Then what about his own affairs?
Su Yue poked his forehead: "You are not stupid."
"I was afraid you'd be angry. After all, he's your eldest brother's future brother-in-law, so I didn't dare tell you."
Su Yue rolled her eyes at him and said, "Am I the kind of person who makes trouble for no reason? I don't even know what's important and what's not. We haven't settled our own affairs yet after we came back.
This time, my eldest brother has returned and has arranged their marriage. From now on, I will worry about their affairs."
The day we had been looking forward to was delayed because we had to return to Beijing and then be sent out to provide disaster relief.
"No, no, Yue'er is the most sensible."
Murong Li smiled, and the two of them talked while tidying up, and then they rested after they finished.
At the old Duke's Mansion, Chen Fanghua has been feeling uneasy since returning from the palace, fearing that the matter would be exposed.
After she hurried back with her family, she heard that Xiaoyao Powder was found in the room and the emperor wanted to conduct a thorough investigation. She felt uneasy, fearing that she would be implicated.
She did get the Xiaoyao Powder from the black market, and that thing can be bought with money.
Even the poisonous insects can be bought on the black market, but they are more expensive and she doesn't have that much money.
She was really worried that the matter would be investigated and traced back to her. Although she was the legitimate daughter of the old Duke, she was not very popular in the mansion. Once the matter was exposed, the old Duke would definitely abandon her.
The old Duke does not have the idea of sharing weal and woe. Whoever causes trouble will be blamed and expelled directly.
She also knew that the emperor had long disliked these old aristocratic families, and if he got the chance, he would definitely torture them to death and uproot them.
No chance is left at all. Aren’t the Duke of Rong’s Mansion and Grand Tutor Jun examples?
Chen Fanghua shuddered in her heart. If she really came to that situation, she didn't know what to do.
She waited anxiously until night, but no one came from the palace or the government office. She breathed a sigh of relief and tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep.
What she didn't expect was that the emperor didn't get the news until the evening, and the blame was still traced back to her.
The next morning, the old Duke's Mansion received an imperial decree, granting Chen Fanghua to be married to Murong Yi as a concubine, and she would enter the palace on the same day as Su Xue.
There was an uproar in the old Duke's Mansion. The old Duke took the imperial edict with a dark face, and he was puzzled. This imperial edict came too strangely, and he could not figure out the emperor's intention.
The Old Duke's Mansion has kept a low profile over the years and has never participated in the fight for the throne among the princes. This inexplicable marriage left the Old Duke completely baffled and angry at the same time. After all, the Old Duke's Mansion was the family of the deceased Empress Dowager, and there was absolutely no reason for his own granddaughter to be given to the Emperor's son as a concubine.
A concubine is also a concubine.
Only Chen Fanghua vaguely guessed the emperor's intention. However, it was better than losing her life. So she would be a concubine, even if she married Murong Li.
In fact, it was Murong Li who accomplished this. In the morning, after he gave the things Su Yue gave him to the secret guards to arrange, he went to court. When he arrived at the palace gate, he was stopped by the emperor's men and went to see the emperor first.
Only then did I realize that Chen Fanghua was also involved in yesterday's incident, and the target was actually him.
He became angry and asked the emperor to grant her marriage to Murong Yi.
The emperor couldn't stand his roguery and agreed.
The old Duke's Mansion was not valued in the first place, so the emperor had completely given up on Murong Yi.
After Su Yue had breakfast, she came to Ziyuan. Su Xue was having breakfast at the moment. When she saw Su Yue coming, she quickly asked Xiaoqing to serve her breakfast.
Su Yue waved her hand: "I won't eat breakfast. I've already eaten. How about it? Are you feeling better after spitting all night?"
Su Xue nodded: "Don't worry, big sister, I have thought it through. Things have already happened. Even if I can't figure it out or try to escape, I can't escape it."
"We are all relieved that you think this way, but what do you think about your marriage?"
It's not that Su Yue is rubbing salt into her wounds at this time, but this matter depends on Su Xue's attitude. If she says she is unwilling, she will have to find a way to get the emperor to cancel the marriage.
Su Xue thought for a moment and asked, "What does the elder sister think?"
Su Yue said honestly: "In my opinion, don't marry Murong Yi. Not only are our two palaces on opposite sides, but you won't be happy if you marry him.
Even if you don't get married in the future, I can still support you."
Su Xue was very moved after hearing this. She knew that her elder sister had always loved her, but after experiencing this incident, she seemed to have grown up overnight. She didn't want her family to worry about her anymore. She still had to marry Murong Yi. If she didn't, things would be very bad.
Not only will the reputation of the Marquis of Anding's Mansion be affected, but in the future, my uncle, father, elder and second brothers will definitely be suppressed by Murong Yi in the court.
She herself has to live under tremendous pressure, and that kind of life is not what she wants.
So she said, "Big sister, thank you for thinking of me. I have thought about it and I will get married."
Su Yue frowned and said, "Xue'er, think it through. This is a lifelong matter."
Su Xue nodded solemnly: "It is because of the things in my life that I must marry Murong Yi. If I don't marry him, there will be more troubles in the future. Big sister, have you ever thought that if I don't marry, it will be impossible for me to marry into a good family with my reputation. It will also affect the other people in Andinghe Mansion, and even more so my uncle and father."
Su Yue sighed: "Xue'er, you've grown up. I've thought about all the things you've thought about, but for your own happiness, I'll protect you even if it means risking my life. It's just..."
But she couldn't have imagined that Su Xue had grown up overnight, nor did she expect that she could think of these problems.
She also knew how stubborn this girl was. Now that she had thought it through, it would be futile to say anything more.
She said, "If Sister Xue'er wants to change her mind, you can tell me at any time. I will definitely help you."
Su Xue smiled and shook her head, saying, "Big sister, I have made up my mind. Besides, the emperor's order cannot be disobeyed. There is no need for us to go against the emperor. The gain will not outweigh the loss."
