Song Lindao.
"If he were to suspect someone, he would suspect the two maids, Zhuqing and the other one, first, not me."
Gu Yurong nodded: "That's right. Those two maids were just there to distract him and make him relax his guard in the study. They'll have to be eliminated sooner or later. It would be good if we could get him to handle it, so we don't have to do it ourselves later."
“Father will certainly not stand by and watch the Song family fall into trouble. When I get the money, besides enabling my uncle to settle down in the capital, it will also make it much easier for me to travel around.” Song Lin silently planned.
Hearing him address Bi Yuan as "uncle," Gu Yurong paused slightly, lowered her eyes, and said nothing.
Song Lin has gradually accepted Bi Yuan; the rest will take more time.
"How do you plan to move around?" Gu Yurong asked.
“Although my uncle is very good at business, money alone is not enough to make a living in the capital. We also need power and a powerful backer.”
Song Lin lowered his voice, clearly having already made up his mind.

Over the past few years, Father has tried every means to curry favor, sending countless gifts of gold, silver, and rare delicacies, but none of them have been able to open the door to the Eastern Palace. Pei Xuanqing doesn't even respect Father, so why would he accept our offer of allegiance?"
"Besides, Pei Xuan is so noble, with countless talented people under his command. What value do we lowly people have to him?"
"Only by supporting a prince who is not favored by others can I demonstrate my abilities."
Gu Yurong frowned: "But what about the other princes..."
Pei Feng and Pei Xi are the sons of a noble concubine, and are of high status. However, for some reason, they have angered Emperor Jingyuan and have not yet been released from confinement.
As for Pei Jin, his background was not as good as the previous two. His adoptive mother, who was a Noble Consort, had been moved out of the palace. It was said that she was injured by bandits a few days ago and had been recuperating in the palace.
You've confused me.
She sighed.
"So who are you interested in?"
