Chapter 289: Exposing Dong Yan
Seeing Yu Sheng's reaction, Jiang Xinyu was puzzled.
"General Yu doubted my words"
Yu Sheng shook his head calmly, "It's not that I doubt it, I just don't believe a single word of it.
Madam Hou, please stop joking.
Not to mention that His Royal Highness Prince An is now the Regent Prince, even if he is still Prince An.
His marriage should be the concern of his clan elders and there is no reason to entrust it to the wife of a minister.
Even if we take a step back and say that he entrusted the matter to the minister's wife, he was still an old lord with considerable weight.
The lady is young and has seen a few ladies. How can we easily entrust the marriage of the Regent King to such a young woman?
Besides, my Hui'er is still young and has no talent, so she is not worthy of being the Regent Prince."
"Indeed, Jin Zekang is a little old."
Jiang Xinyu seemed to automatically filter out Yu Sheng's previous words and only listened to what she wanted to hear.
He murmured softly and looked at Yu Hui, "Jin Zekang is 26 years old. Can you accept that he is ten years older?"
Yu Hui nodded quickly, "Yes, yes, yes, he will be more caring when he is older.
I think it’s OK.”
"What are you doing? Children are not allowed to mix things randomly."
Yu Sheng saw that his daughter seemed to agree with this idea and suddenly became anxious. He pulled her aside and whispered,
"Marrying far away is a big pitfall. Daddy won't let you go to the capital to suffer."
Yu Hui quickly shook her father's arm and said coquettishly, "My family's ancestral home is in Beijing, how can this be considered marrying far away?"
Yu Sheng shook his head like a rattle, "No, if you quarrel with your husband in the morning and I don't slap him in the face in the afternoon, you will be considered to be married off.
What's more, you are marrying the Regent King. With your father's current ability, he won't be able to avenge you if you are bullied.
No, no, absolutely not.
Dad has made up his mind. In the future, I will pick someone from the army who has an upright character and a simple family background for you.
We bought a yard next to our house. Dad can only feel at ease when he hears your voice every day."
Jiang Xinyu gave Yu Hui a thumbs-up with envy, "You are so lucky to have a father who loves you so much.
My dad pales in comparison to General Yu."
The two young masters of the Yu family could not get a word in and complained silently in their hearts. They always felt that the Marquis's way of speaking was strange and they could not follow her train of thought.
They were both men of blood, and were unwilling to sacrifice their sisters for their own safety and travel thousands of miles to get married.
Besides, the Marquis's wife's fortune might not even be right, and his sister is not a celestial being, so the Regent Prince might not even like her.
A marriage either connects two resources or connects two people who are in the same boat.
Forget about being in love. It's nonsense to talk about love when two people have never met each other.
From the perspective of interests, his family should not be worth such a huge sacrifice for the Regent.
Compared with these provincial governors from remote areas, important officials in the imperial court are more worthy of being recruited.
They were not at all optimistic about this marriage.
Jiang Xinyu helplessly threw up her hands as she listened to the Yu family whispering.
"Don't think too much. If the regent was obsessed with power, he would have ascended the throne directly.
The eighth prince is so young. If Jin Zekang didn’t want to be the emperor, it would never have been his turn.
For a regent who is not greedy for power, his wife's family background is not important.
He just wants someone with a simple mind and a harmonious family, saying that only that kind of person is humane and has a homely feel.
It is easy to find talented and beautiful women, but it is not easy to find a simple girl who is loved unreservedly.
The Regent King has everything except family affection, so he must be satisfied with Xiao Hui."
Although this reason was far-fetched and made some sense, Yu Sheng began to waver when he saw that Yu Hui really wanted to get married.
His children are the most filial, and I guess it's because of his predicament that his daughter is always concerned about him.
If Xiaohui really becomes the Regent Princess, it would be the most reliable way to break the impasse.
Seeing them arguing, Jiang Xinyu knocked on the table and said, "There's no rush for this. I'll go back and ask him about it."
If he is willing, let him send someone to express his sincerity.
Don’t worry, even if the transaction fails, our friendship remains.
Even if Jin Zekang doesn't marry Xiaohui, I'm still here. As long as General Yu doesn't rebel, I guarantee that the court will not kill good people in vain.
The most urgent matter now is another matter. There is something wrong with Mr. Bai in your family."
Mr. Bai
Yu Sheng then remembered that since the female guard was Xiao Yuan's wife and had the absolute advantage, there was no need for her to lie.
Could it be that Mr. Dong really assassinated his daughter?
Why
He treated Mr. Dong well. Could it be that he had to kill his daughter just to avenge the Yu family and the second prince?
At this point, Yu Sheng had no intention of hiding it.
"Mr. Bai is a pseudonym, his real name is Dong Yanben, and he is an aide to my Yu family.
Later, because of his outstanding abilities, he was sent to the second prince.
After the Second Prince failed in his attempt to force the emperor to abdicate, he fled here to seek refuge with me. Madam Hou, is it really Mr. Dong who wants to kill Huier?"
Now that things have come to this, it has to be so. Jiang Xinyu nodded without any guilt.
Xiao Yuan, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke up, "Dong Yan, I heard that no matter how hard we dug, we couldn't find the second prince's first conspirator.
It seems that he disguised himself and escaped after the second prince entered the palace.
Haha, he really has no plans for the rest. I guess he knew long ago that the second prince would not survive.
General Yu has been away from the capital for a long time, so he probably doesn't know much about the Yu family. Mr. Dong is highly regarded by your eldest brother."
Yu Sheng looked puzzled, "Is there something wrong with this?
Dong Yan is naturally valued by the eldest brother. If he was not a person valued by the eldest brother, how could he have recommended him to the second prince?"
Xiao Yuan smiled playfully, "Each of the nine sons of a dragon is different, and the personalities of children born from the same parents are also very different.
Even if the general doesn't like it, I still have to say something fair. Your elder brother...
Stupid, vicious, evil, and lazy, with great ambitions but little talent and short-sightedness.
No derogatory word can be used to describe him without any inconsistency; he is black from head to toe without a single shining point.
This Mr. Dong is actually respected and valued by him, haha, I guess his character is hard to describe. "
As soon as Sheng heard this, his heart skipped a beat. Yes, why didn't he think of this?
It's not like he hasn't heard anything about his elder brother. Xiao Yuan's words were a bit hurtful but he wasn't completely wronged.
During these days of getting along with each other, he could indeed see that Mr. Dong was talented, but under a man like his elder brother, it was not enough to just be talented to be valued.
A single leaf can block one's view.
The death of his eldest brother's family made him subconsciously ignore the fact that his brother was actually a jerk.
He also subconsciously neglected to ask someone to find out Dong Yan's true character.
Seeing his expression change, Xiao Yuan laughed even more sarcastically, "This Dong Yan, as the second prince's first adviser, has registered with our Dongchang.
During the interrogation of the evil deeds of the eldest branch of the Yu family, many interesting things were discovered.
For example, your eldest nephew robbed someone's wife, your second nephew lent money at high interest, and your nephew's husband opened a casino...
Many of the evil deeds committed by the Yu family were planned and schemed by Mr. Dong.
Even the second prince's desperate attempt to abdicate was instigated by him.
There was even a conspirator who said that the timing was wrong and made the Second Prince think twice, but was killed by Dong Yan on the charge that the Third Prince was a traitor.
When it comes to rebellion, Dong Yan is more active than the Second Prince, the one who might sit on the throne.
General Yu, your strategist is quite ambitious.
Do you think he is like a helper in a casino who encourages people to keep betting?
