Everyone was stunned by Fu Hanlai's words.
After the initial shock, excitement followed, and his eyes lit up almost instantly, with Yu Bo shining the brightest – after all, he was genuinely interested in these things.
"How did you know, young master?"
"Never mind how I know, this is absolutely true." Fu Hanlai wouldn't say that it was the doctor who diagnosed it when Huang Shilang's younger brother fell ill a few days ago.
At that time, Fu Hanlai was preoccupied with how to make Jiang Xuelin annul the engagement and how to escape the marriage, so he didn't pay any attention to this matter. But now that they were about to do something big, and since Minister Huang had tried to make things difficult for them at the restaurant, plus he was also one of the Third Prince's men...
After several rounds of this, Fu Hanlai remembered the things he had put out of his mind.
“Then! I remember that Vice Minister Huang has a nephew.”
The rest of the words were left unsaid, but this hint was already tantamount to an explicit statement.
Since he is a castrated man, where did Minister Huang's nephew come from? Considering Fu Han's statement that Minister Huang had an affair with his sister-in-law, it becomes clear that Minister Huang's nephew is not a nephew, but his own son.
"Yes, just like you think." Fu Hanlai patted his stomach and said lazily.
"So, do you remember that when you were the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Rites, you impeached me? Because you disregarded the law, and were causing trouble for the people by attracting cats and fighting dogs in the streets."
When Jiang Xuelin brought up this matter, those spoiled brats got very angry.
If Vice Minister Huang were truly a virtuous gentleman, they wouldn't be angry even if he were impeached, since they were indeed idle and lazy. But does Vice Minister Huang deserve to be impeached? Anyone could impeach them, but Vice Minister Huang is the least deserving, because his favored illegitimate son is no good either, just like a spoiled brat.
Moreover, they wouldn't do anything truly outrageous; they just don't want to work hard or do their jobs, and they just live off the legacy of their ancestors. But the illegitimate son of Vice Minister Huang is different.
So what right does Vice Minister Huang have to impeach them?
This led them to have a very bad impression of Vice Minister Huang, knowing that he was a hypocritical villain. But even so, they never thought that there were even more serious things to come.
"Now the opportunity is in front of us." Jiang Xuelin slightly raised her chin and continued to deceive, trying to drag everyone into the mess.
"Moreover, we are not retaliating. We are just exposing some unknown truths. If you have nothing to hide, you will naturally not be afraid. But if you have something to hide, you will naturally feel guilty. We have not done anything excessive. We are just clearing the names of some people and preventing more people from being misled. It is also just something to entertain the people of the capital for their leisure time."
Is there a problem?
Absolutely no problem.
"This is great news! Even if your elders find out, they won't scold you. After all, we're acting on behalf of Heaven!"
"Do you want people to look at you with new respect, and for them to think of your achievements when they mention you?"
The spoiled brats: "..."
Do you want to?
Of course I want to!
Even if they don't work hard, it doesn't mean they have no ambition. Besides, they can achieve great things and avenge their enemies. Why not do something that achieves multiple benefits?
If it were someone else, they might worry about getting into trouble in this situation, but this group of spoiled brats who were always causing trouble were fearless and agreed without much hesitation.
"Let's do it!"
—Even if something happens, Prince Ping and the Jiang family girl will be there to protect them. All they have to do is join in the trouble!
Just thinking about what was about to happen soon filled the group with eager anticipation, and they were itching to get started.
Yu Bo was the only one who still had some semblance of clarity, but the problem was... he was also a spoiled brat!
Why are these spoiled brats so fearless? Even if their families worry about them not studying hard and causing trouble all the time, how could they become spoiled brats if they weren't favored at home?
That's not called a spoiled brat, that's called a pitiful little thing with no one to care for him.
Seeing that everyone had agreed, Jiang Xuelin and Fu Hanlai exchanged a glance and saw satisfaction in each other's eyes.
"Next, we'll do this..."
First of all, we definitely can't come openly, otherwise we'll easily be retaliated against. At least for now, we can't come openly. It's best to be secretive and give everyone a surprise, to amaze the whole family!
Secondly, it is necessary to collect eye-catching information. Hearsay and rumors from various sources are not acceptable; they must all be true stories.
This matter will take a long time to develop. Besides the secrets they themselves know, there are also many unknown stories from all walks of life.
Finally, there's the question of how to spread those messages throughout the capital.
If it only spreads on a small scale, then it's meaningless; at least Jiang Xuelin wouldn't be satisfied.
Although it's uncertain whether it's the Third Prince's faction that's targeting her, it doesn't matter. Anyway, she has a grudge against the Third Prince's faction, so let them do whatever they want; they won't hurt anyone else.
With the Crown Prince's position secure, how many of the officials supporting the Third Prince are truly virtuous? Aren't they all just gamblers, hoping to gain favor by supporting the new emperor? Let's just fire away at them.
Although the private rooms here were well soundproofed, they were still not very safe, so the group didn't chat for too long. They just briefly talked and agreed on a time and place to discuss things in more detail later.
It has to be said that everyone present, including Fu Hanlai, had a look of anticipation in their eyes, as if they were about to cause trouble.
Eating, drinking, and having fun? Where can you find the joy of causing trouble?
By this time, the wedding procession outside had completely passed, and the people on the street had mostly dispersed. Jiang Xuelin thought about her next arrangements and decided to make a trip to the Jing'an Marquis's residence first.
She had some questions to ask her parents.
But Fu Hanlai refused to continue.
He felt that the Marquis of Jing'an and his wife might already know about the incident that day when he made Jiang Xue sleep on the ground. Going to their door at this time would be asking for a beating. Even if the Marquis of Jing'an no longer led troops, he was still no match for him.
They couldn't possibly fight back.
"If you don't want to go, that's fine. I can go back by myself. It's not like I can't find my way. You go back first."
Jiang Xuelin had no objection to Fu Hanlai's decision.
It's not like he has to accompany her to go back to the Marquis's residence.
Fu Hanlai: "..."
That makes sense, but why get so angry!
"Is that so? What if Lady Jing'an Marquis knew you went back alone..."
Fu Hanlai only guessed this from the incident of Lady Jing'an Marquis sending erotic pictures, and as a result, he just happened to hit Jiang Xuelin's weak spot.
If she ran back alone, her mother might beat her, but if Fu Hanlai was there, she might not.
What do you want?
"Want my help? Call me 'brother' and let me hear it!"
Anyway, given Jiang Xuelin's personality, she would never call out.
Jiang Xuelin narrowed her eyes, thinking that Fu Hanlai had become arrogant again since she hadn't cleaned up for a while. She sneered inwardly, thinking that she would clean up after returning to the Prince's Mansion.
Turning her head and putting on a smile, Jiang Xuelin called out in a high-pitched voice.
"Brother Ah Shou..."
Fu Hanlai: "..."
He let go, and the fan he had been using to show off fell to the ground, his face instantly turning red.
