Chapter 505 All done
Although the observation deck was high, Lin Beishan made a lot of noise, and his voice was quite loud.
Before Wu Qingfeng and Lin Chang'er could get to the point, they heard the commotion below.
He shook his head inwardly, feeling a little unsure of what to feel.
It's possible that the father-in-law is finding his son-in-law increasingly unpleasant.
He smiled helplessly, "My master really doesn't trust me."
Lin Chang'er naturally heard her father's loud voice, chuckled, and said, "You should try to understand his feelings as a father. However, let him say what he wants, and let's discuss what we want."
Wu Qingfeng nodded. He was also a man, and if he put himself in his master's shoes, it wouldn't be difficult for him to empathize.
"That's right. Mother likes it very much here and doesn't plan to go back to the capital. We need to move on to the next step of our plan."
Lin Chang'er nodded, "If Mother and Aunt 'die' at the same time, the capital will inevitably become suspicious. I think it would be better to have Mother pretend to be seriously ill due to acclimatization. Of course, if you tell the story back to the capital, they may not believe it."
Wu Qingfeng agreed, "So what do you mean?"
Lin Chang'er raised an eyebrow, "Isn't there an excellent candidate staying at the post station?"
Wu Qingfeng's eyes lit up; how could he have forgotten about that "good cousin"?
Cai Jiaojiao came here to visit relatives. Although her aunt wanted to strengthen the family ties, she couldn't leave the capital without her father's approval.
On another level, Cai Jiaojiao was considered one of his father's people. If Cai Jiaojiao brought the news of his mother's serious illness back to the capital, his father would certainly not suspect anything.
Although his father disliked him in the past, over the years, no matter how hard he and his childhood sweetheart tried, they only had two illegitimate daughters.
The future of the Wu family will still depend on him, and even the future of his two illegitimate daughters will depend on how high he can climb.
He will grow old one day, and at that time, he will be in his prime.
It can be said that not only his two illegitimate daughters, but even he himself and his childhood sweetheart will have to rely on him in the future.
His father was always intelligent, but when he was young, he always thought he could forge his own path to success.
As you get older, you gradually accept reality.
Therefore, in recent years, the attitude towards them, mother and son, has changed.
Otherwise, Mother might not have been able to leave Beijing this time.
Although the capital city did not care about the lives of the coastal people, the regions under his rule defeated the pirates, which boosted the confidence of the coastal people in saving themselves.
During the floods, it was the region in Ninghai Prefecture that provided the most timely rescue and relief, so much so that people from many disaster-stricken areas around it came here.
Both the population and taxes are continuing to grow, and he has also recently wiped out the bandits who had been bothering the people for a long time.
He knew in his heart how much credit Chang'er had given, but since Chang'er insisted on developing her skills discreetly, he naturally couldn't let her efforts go to waste; these would definitely be recorded in his achievements.
His father naturally heard about all this. His impressive resume made him proud, even though he had no intention of transferring back to Beijing.
But his father has no idea of his plans. Now is the time when he is on the rise, and if he were to be in mourning for his father, it would be a fatal blow.
Therefore, as long as Cai Jiaojiao spreads the news to the capital, her father will have no choice but to agree to let her mother stay in the south to recuperate.
Then the mother could stay on her own merits.
Wu Qingfeng smiled and said, "I'll do whatever you say."
Lin Chang'er hummed in agreement and continued, "Since Madam is seriously ill and Aunt is unable to leave the capital to visit her, it is only reasonable for her to fall ill from worry and refuse visitors, right?"
"Reasonable."
Lin Chang'er added, "My aunt's serious illness will inevitably attract that person's attention, but as long as my aunt stays on the verge of death, that person will eventually lose patience."
“He’s a sickly person, not worth his time.”
“Once he relaxes his surveillance of the Prince’s mansion, we’ll make our move. Yan Qing told me before that the drainage ditches in the capital lead directly to the moat. In the autumn, when the rains in the capital dry up, the drainage ditches will also dry up. We’ll dig a tunnel in advance from the drainage ditch closest to the Prince’s mansion, let my aunt go out of the capital along the drainage ditch, and then set it on fire, and we’ll be all set…”
