Watching the departing carriage, Duan Hong sighed as he stood in front of the gate.
Duan Sijin was also standing beside him. When he heard him sigh, he asked, "Dad, what's wrong?"
Duan Hong expressed his concerns, "I feel like the Fifth Prince has changed a lot..."
Ever since the incident between him and Zuo Xinya, Helian Yun has not been as calm and composed as before. Although he seems to still not care about power and wealth, his eyes are full of calculation.
He was worried that Helian Yun would want to covet that position and do something wrong.
Duan Sijin narrowed his eyes and pondered for a moment before saying, "Everyone has their own choices. If he really does something treasonous, even if he is related to our General's Mansion by marriage, we will never tolerate it."
Duan Hongdao: "Of course I know this, but Shishi..."
Speaking of this, Duan Sijin suddenly remembered Duan Qingxi's words.
He said, "Dad, let's go to the study. I have something to tell you."
Duan Hong looked at Duan Sijin, and seeing that he looked serious, he nodded, and the two went directly to the study.
In the study, Duan Sijin repeated to Duan Hong what Duan Qingxi had reminded him.
Then he added, "I was wondering why Xi'er was worried like that, but just now, Dad, you reminded me that if the Fifth Prince really has that in mind, Duan Shishi will definitely stand on his side. If our General's Mansion doesn't support us at that time, Duan Shishi might really help the Fifth Prince to deal with our General's Mansion."
Since ancient times, there has never been a neutral position in the struggle for the throne.
Especially for a force like their General's Mansion, which leader wouldn't want to fight for it?
Unless they give up everything in the General's Mansion and stay away from places like the capital, they will inevitably be forced to choose a force to rely on.
If Helian Yun really wanted to compete for that position, he would definitely try every possible means to gain the support of the General's Mansion.
Suddenly, Duan Sijin remembered that Duan Qingxi had said that the reason Helian Yun wanted to marry her was also because of Duan Qingxi's identity.
Presumably, Helian Yun already knew that Duan Qingxi was the legitimate daughter of the General's Mansion...
In addition, Duan Qingxi is the junior sister of the national teacher and a princess of the first rank. With her help, Helian Yun's chances of seizing the throne will probably increase.
But he never expected that such a mistake would happen during the wedding, and Duan Qingxi would be swapped with Duan Shishi.
The more Duan Sijin thought about it, the more he felt that this was the case, and even Duan Hong's expression became serious.
If this is true, then they have to be careful. There is no evidence and they cannot alert the emperor, but their general's office must act with caution!
After thinking for a while, Duan Hong suddenly said to Duan Sijin, "Jin'er, Daddy mentioned to you before about entering the palace as an official. What do you think about it now?"
Duan Sijin was stunned for a moment and seemed a little hesitant.
Duan Hong continued, "Dad knows you don't like officialdom, and neither does Dad. But without power, we can't protect the people we care about. Dad is old, and sooner or later, the position of the general will be passed on to someone else. By then, the so-called general's mansion will be just an empty shell. Even if Xi'er is the Ninth Prince's Consort, she still needs a strong family. If you can't be her support, what will she do in the Ninth Prince's mansion?"
Helian Sheng dotes on Duan Qingxi, but how long can a man’s doting last?
Duan Hong's words made Duan Sijin's expression change and he clenched his fists.
