1226 Taking the initiative will hurt others and yourself
The steward of the Ninth Prince's Mansion has been replaced, but Feng Qingchen's position in the Ninth Prince's Mansion will not change.
The new butler was a silent middle-aged man who didn't talk much, but was very respectful to Feng Qingchen.
"Where is the old butler?" Feng Qingchen asked with concern. The middle-aged butler did not hide anything and told him the old butler's current situation.
As long as they don't betray the Ninth Prince, the Ninth Prince will not treat them harshly. The old butler is now living in a farm outside the city, with someone to take care of him, so he doesn't have to worry about his old age.
Feng Qingchen nodded, and as he walked in, he asked the new housekeeper how many people were available in the Ninth Prince's Mansion.
"Miss, are you talking about it in public or in private?" This butler didn't talk much, but he was a wonderful person. He was devoted to the Ninth Uncle and didn't hide anything from Feng Qingchen.
"How about in private?" The power in the open is not very convenient to use.
"The people in the dark can subdue the palace guards and seize the palace within three days."
Uh... Feng Qingchen was stunned for a moment and almost stepped on his left foot.
The Ninth Prince is very majestic!
She had never known that the Ninth Prince’s private army in the Imperial City was so powerful.
Clear out the court, kill the emperor, and sit on the throne. The Ninth Prince can do it in just three days.
Of course, if you rely solely on force to fight for the position, you may not be able to keep it even if you sit in that position, and Feng Qingchen has no intention of doing such a big thing.
Feng Qingchen signaled to the butler to follow her to the study. The butler did not hesitate and followed Feng Qingchen closely. He did not treat Feng Qingchen as the mistress, but as a master like the Ninth Prince.
Feng Qingchen seemed to understand why the Ninth Uncle chose this person as the housekeeper.
Although the old butler was kind to her, he was somewhat unfamiliar with her and did not treat her as his master. However, this butler truly regarded her as his master, allowing her to truly feel that the Ninth Prince cared about her.
If she said she was unhappy, she would definitely be lying, but Feng Qingchen would not show it.
Arriving at the study, Feng Qingchen laid out his plan in detail.
The so-called plan was just to let the Ninth Prince's people take the opportunity to spread rumors. Didn't the Minister of Justice say that Princess Yaohua asked her to meet privately, and then she poisoned Princess Yaohua? Then she said that Princess Yaohua had committed adultery with her lover, and committed suicide out of shame after being discovered, and Princess Yaohua's lover...
It was the current emperor who forcibly occupied his nephew's wife and had an affair with Princess Yaohua. After being discovered, Princess Yaohua committed suicide out of shame.
"This... will anyone believe it?" The new butler was not questioning Feng Qingchen's order, he just felt that it was completely unreliable, and spreading rumors about the emperor could result in death if one was not careful.
"How could no one believe it? The people love rumors about the royal family the most. Of course, when you let people spread rumors, don't point directly at the emperor. Just hint that the man who had an affair with Princess Yaohua is an older man who can often see Princess Yaohua.
In addition to Princess Yaohua's affairs, you should also have someone spread the story of Princess Xiling. Princess Xiling had an affair with a minister in the court, and all the officials in Xiling knew about it, and even the common people knew about it.
The princess always likes older men. The left prime minister she found back then was old enough to be her father, and the lovers she has found now are not young either. Princess Yaohua, like her aunt, likes older men. There is nothing impossible about this. After all, they are aunt and niece, and it is normal to have the same hobbies. "Although this hobby is a little special.
Feng Qingchen admitted that she was a little despicable. Princess Yaohua was dead, but she still refused to let her go and even wanted to make trouble for her reputation. But... Princess Yaohua didn't let her go even after her death and wanted to make her suffer. It was no wonder that she was so cruel.
The new butler thought for a moment and understood: "I understand, and I will not let the young lady down."
It doesn’t matter whether it is true or not, as long as the people say so and the rumor grows bigger and bigger, who cares whether it is true or not?
Whether it is Xiling or Dongling, they will not expose the truth about Princess Yaohua's death, no matter how they spread it.
"I wonder if asking you to do these things would be a waste of your talents?" Feng Qingchen said this not as a test, but he truly believed it.
In the hands of the Ninth Emperor
’s people can occupy the palace.
"Don't worry, young lady. We have some people who specialize in spreading rumors and gathering information in the market." As long as Feng Qingchen asked, the new butler would tell her everything, which made Feng Qingchen very satisfied.
After explaining this matter, Feng Qingchen felt a little tired, and said to the new housekeeper: "You go out first, I want to sit for a while."
"Yes..." When the butler went out, he closed the door. This was to tell Feng Qingchen that no matter how long Feng Qingchen sat, he would not let anyone disturb Feng Qingchen.
Feng Qingchen sat on the chair that the Ninth Uncle usually sat on, leaned back, closed his eyes and took a deep breath.
There seemed to be the presence of the Ninth Prince in the house.
"It's only been one day and I miss you already." Feng Qingchen opened his eyes and lay on the table with red eyes.
If you have never felt the urge to miss someone in your life, then you will feel lovesick and suffer from lovesickness.
She missed the Ninth Uncle very much... But she still had a lot of things to do, so she couldn't stay here forever. Feng Qingchen left reluctantly and drove the carriage to the Yun family.
As she didn't invite anyone in advance and visited suddenly, Feng Qingchen didn't know whether Yun Xiao was at home or not, so she ended up coming back empty-handed.
There was no other way, Feng Qingchen could only leave a message, asking Yun Xiao to send someone to inform her when he was free, and she would visit again.
After Feng Qingchen left, the Yun family father and son also broke out into an argument.
"Dad, why did you tell Feng Qingchen that I was not here? What right do you have to block my guests?" Yun Xiao was at home, and he didn't care about the demeanor of a nobleman. He was unhappy if he was unhappy.
Father Yun sighed: "Xiao'er, it's not that I don't want you to see her. You also know her current situation. Our Yun family can't help her."
"Why do you think that she came to me just to ask for help from our Yun family?" Yun Xiao said with a mocking look on his face. His expression also angered Yun's father, who raised his voice and said, "She came here at this time for what else, except to ask for your help?"
"So what if she helped? What's wrong with our Yun family helping her? Father, don't forget that when our Yun family was forced into a desperate situation by the four countries, it was Feng Qingchen who helped us. If it weren't for Feng Qingchen, our Yun family would have fallen long ago." Yun Xiao was so angry that veins bulged.
His father was not this kind of person before. When did he change?
"That's not much of a help, Xiao'er. Don't be fooled by Feng Qing. Our Yun family didn't get any advantage from Feng Qingchen. She got much more than us. Our Yun family just earned a reputation." After all, it was still a matter of interests.
The pregnancy-preserving medicine sold very well. Even though the Yun family controlled the sales volume, they still made a lot of money every day. However, 90% of this huge amount of medicine belonged to Feng Qingchen. Just because Yun Xiao was not tempted or jealous, it didn't mean that other people in the Yun family were not tempted.
During this period, members of the Yun family said in front of Yun's father every day that Feng Qingchen was not really helping them, but was just using the Yun family's channels and treating them as long-term employees.
If Feng Qingchen really wanted to help the Yun family, then why didn't he split the profits from the sale of pregnancy-preserving drugs 50-50? You have to know that the Yun family contributed both manpower and effort, while Feng Qingchen contributed nothing, so why should he take the lion's share...
At the beginning, Father Yun would speak up for Feng Qingchen, but after hearing some things too many times, his heart would inevitably waver.
Father Yun was like this. After hearing so many people say it and hearing it so many times, he also believed that it was Feng Qingchen who took advantage of their Yun family, rather than their Yun family benefiting from Feng Qingchen...
