Chapter 320 A Good Card
Once the connection between the Zheng family, the third prince, and the Yang family is established, all the anomalies that occurred previously will be explained.
This was because there were no connections among the Zheng family's military generals. Even if there were, they had been constantly eroded over the years, and very few of them were able to stay and work for the Zheng family.
The Zheng family wanted to revive the reputation of the Xingyang Zheng family. In this chaotic and disastrous year, with no one in the army and the civil officials weak, they naturally had to think of another way.
So the Zheng family set their sights on following the dragon.
The relationship between the aristocratic families and the imperial power is ever-changing. In times of crisis, the two can work together to share hardships, but when they are rich and powerful, they want to suck each other's flesh and blood clean, turn each other into their own nutrients, and make each other a puppet in each other's hands.
In troubled times, the Zheng family, without military generals to support them, might have been unable to survive even in their hometown of Xingyang. Otherwise, the people who assassinated Zhao Fangyu by the third prince would not have used the tactic of human wave.
Zhao Fangjin only had a vague idea of what was going on. He looked at Zhao Fangyu, who was frowning in thought. His dark blue eyebrows made Zhao Fangyu look even more calm and solemn.
Her sisters grew up so fast, and in the blink of an eye, she herself was already a mother of two children. Zhao Fangjin fiddled with the child's hand, and the child hummed and moved, pulling Zhao Fangyu back to her senses.
After roughly guessing who the Yang family's allies were, Zhao Fangyu was about to start implementing them, but what was more important now was to catch Pei Yan and stop the evidence that was unfavorable to Zhou Qinghe from being obtained.
"Do you have any idea about the Second Prince's matter?"
Compared to the current chaotic situation that he only has a vague understanding of, Zhao Fangjin is more concerned about his brother-in-law, Zhou Qinghe, who is far away in the border area and his situation is unclear.
Zhao Fangyu doesn't mind being a widow, but Zhao Fangjin grew up with her, so how could she not see that Zhao Fangyu treats Zhou Qinghe differently?
It's rare for Zhao Fangyu to meet someone who can get into her heart. It would be a pity if such a person died.
Others were thinking about Zhao Fangyu's money and his appearance, but her family was thinking more carefully. She wanted Zhao Fangyu to meet a confidant. This confidant could not be her mother, nor could it be her. It had to be someone else who could stay with Zhao Fangyu for a long time in the secular world.
Zhao Fangyu sent the child back to Zhao Fangjin, picked up two snacks from the table outside, and ate slowly: "There is still some hope, but it's a bit troublesome."
She didn't have much contact with Pei Yan, but since he was able to become the commander of the Southern Pacification Division in the Jinyiwei, Zhao Fangyu never expected Pei Yan to be a good person.
The Jinyiwei were born to be the emperor's lackeys. It is difficult to expect a person who grew up in such an organization to become a legitimate and upright person.
From the perspective of modern society, it is already quite good that Pei Yan and his friends can still behave like human beings.
"I'll do my best. If I can't stop Kuang Bo, then he'll be unlucky."
She tried her best to find a way to avenge him and to get rid of her hatred, but no matter how much she did...it was no use.
Zhao Fangyu's voice was light and his mouth was filled with the faint scent of osmanthus.
Zhao Fangyu had just eaten a piece of jasmine-filled food, but she felt that the taste was not very appetizing, so she put it aside. Zhao Fangjin secretly broke off a small piece and took it away, and she pretended not to see it.
You don’t have to just drink chicken soup during the confinement period. A little snack won’t hurt.
The two sisters had surprisingly similar ideas. Now that their appetites were satisfied, Zhao Fangyu started talking to Zhao Fangjin about the Mei family.
"Before, my elder sister was about to get pregnant, so I didn't bother her with these things. But they didn't have much to do with the family."
"The Chenzhou disaster relief case has been uncovered. My eldest sister-in-law's cousin Mei Zhanhui is now working with Pei Yan, the commander of the Jinyiwei Southern Pacification Division, to investigate the case."
"But one of the people disappeared on the way, and my sister-in-law was so worried that she came to me and now we have some clues about the whereabouts."
Zhao Fangjin was silent for a moment, his fingers were caught by An'er, put to his lips and sucked twice, but nothing came out. He pursed his lips and hummed twice, and was gently coaxed by Zhao Fangjin with a pat.
Turning her head, her beautiful eyes stared at Zhao Fangyu's face for a long time. She really didn't see the false calmness on Zhao Fangyu's face, and she didn't look sad. Then she put the hair on her cheeks behind her ears with relief: "I am in the deep house now, and I can't help you. When I get better, I will definitely get involved in your business."
Zhao Fangyu gently touched An'er's incredibly tender face with a finger, and his mind was still filled with the basins of blood that were brought out during the birth that day.
"Luckily, big sister is okay, otherwise... I'm afraid there would be a big fuss."
People are not always rational. She can accept the departure of anyone, but that doesn't mean she won't be sad.
She was reluctant to let Zhao Fangjin get involved in many things. She would not let Zhao Fangjin get involved in these things in the past, and it was still the same now.
Zhao Fangyu said these words truthfully. Seeing that Zhao Fangjin was about to get angry, he took the initiative to explain: "Over the years, I deliberately did not let my sister join the game. If she joins now, the Song family will no longer be a loyal subject of the emperor."
The Emperor is a loyal minister, which is an excellent card.
You can attack when you advance and defend when you retreat. Such good cards are destined not to be played out easily.
Even though everyone knew that the mistress of the Zhao family had the closest relationship with her, as long as Minister Song did not fall, this card would still count.
