Chapter 636 The Lu Family's Plan
Hearing this, Shen Shuyi nodded, realizing that his grandfather was not a kind-hearted person, and felt fortunate.
Over the years, the Marquis' Mansion had not only doted on Pang Xinlian, but had also absolutely no regrets. However, in the end, the entire family was nearly wiped out because of her.
No matter who it is, it is impossible to be free of grudges.
But what she feared most was that her grandfather was too soft-hearted and soft-hearted. Fortunately, her grandfather was not stupid. He would never forgive her for being unfaithful once.
But I'm afraid the saddest person would be my grandmother.
Looking at the doll in front of him with Emperor Qianwu's birth date written on it but pierced with silver needles all over, Shen Shuyi couldn't help being speechless.
I think there are very few blindly loyal people in this world. Although power can make people submit, it cannot really make people respect you or be convinced.
The Marquis is loyal to the emperor and patriotic, but because of the struggle for the throne and the emperor's suspicion, he has been treated coldly for many years. How can he really have no complaints?

The next day, early in the morning.
As soon as the sky was getting light, Concubine Rou lost her sleepiness. The Lu family's situation had been extremely dire lately, making it difficult for her to sleep or eat.
For so long, the Lu family has thought about throwing some dirty water on Xie Jingchi and putting a accusation on him.
But first of all, there was really nothing to hold against Xie Jingchi. He even had no relatives, and no one knew where he had popped up from.
Having no one means being helpless, but it also means having no leverage to hold against you.
Secondly, he was deeply favored by His Majesty. As a favorite concubine, Lu Qing was well aware of Emperor Qianwu's love and appreciation for him. At least at this age, there were almost no people who could compare with him.
Therefore, the Lu family never dared to act rashly, fearing that they would end up making things worse.
But till now, not only have they failed to win over Xie Jingchi, they have also failed to get rid of him. She can only wait to contain the Qingyuan Marquis Mansion, send her brother to Yancheng, turn the defeat around, and then plan to impeach Xie Jingchi and trap him in the quagmire.
Lu Qing's mood was not very good at all, because she had not been able to find out anything about His Majesty's treatment of her brother this time.
This is definitely not a good sign...
"Your Majesty, do you want to get dressed?" Long Dong saw Concubine Rou sitting at the table with her brows furrowed and silent, and he couldn't help but speak.
Concubine Rou collected her thoughts and sighed: "Let's get dressed. Where's Xiao Haizi?"
Eunuch Hai came in immediately from outside the door: "Madam, I am here."
"Have you heard any news? How does His Majesty plan to deal with the Lu family?"
Eunuch Hai shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, I have asked Eunuch Wang Xi and Eunuch Li Yun about this, but they both kept silent and said that Your Majesty has not given any instructions and seems to be still considering it."
Seeing this, Concubine Rou sighed: "It's better this way."
Just as she finished speaking, a maid came in and reported: "My lady, the Third Prince wants to see you."
"Please come in." Lu Qing was afraid that something had happened again. After all, it was too early and Yu'er usually didn't come at this time.
Xiao Heyu dismissed everyone and whispered, "Mother, something bad has happened."
Concubine Rou's face turned cold: "Speak."
"This morning, Song Tingshan, the prince of Duke Cheng's Mansion, came to report that Nanny Zhu, who was by your side back then, is not dead but was saved by the late queen. It just so happens that the old lady of the Qin family knows where this person is." Xiao Heyu's face was heavy. It was obvious that the recent crisis of the Lu family had made him feel more stressed.
"What did you say!" Concubine Rou's face turned pale.
In order to silence people, she faked a fire in the palace and killed several confidants who knew about the situation. Later, when the bodies were sent out of the palace, she was still worried and sent people to follow and check. She was not relieved until she confirmed that the bodies were thrown into a mass grave.
"I am not sure whether this is true or not, but Shen Jingyu had reached a deal with Concubine Jing before, using Nanny Zhu to exchange for the position of the Duke's Prince's wife, but later Nanny Zhu was snatched away by Shen Shuyi's people." Xiao Heyu said concisely.
Concubine Rou had a gloomy face, and she obviously felt that this was making the situation worse.
“It may not be false.”
If it was fake, who would mention a person who had been dead for many years? Moreover, if Shen Shuyi was planning to use this matter to cheat and try to get something out of her, she might not have the opportunity. It was not easy.
Nanny Zhu was her most trusted nanny, who had been by her side since she was young. Many things in the past had been handled by her. If she fell into Shen Shuyi's hands...
Shen Shuyi must die!
Lu Qing felt annoyed. Although she had already planned to take action against Shen Shuyi, now that she had such a big handle in her hand, she felt uneasy every moment.
"How are the arrangements on Feng Wan's side going?" Lu Qing asked in a deep voice.
"My dear mother, Feng Wan sent a message last night. I'm sure someone will report this to my father in secret by now." Xiao Heyu said in a low voice.
"Okay! Once this matter is resolved, as soon as Shen Shuyi enters the palace, I will send someone to deal with her first." A ruthless look flashed in Lu Qing's eyes.
Since Shen Shuyi cannot be killed outside the palace, then do it inside the palace!
Although she was favored by the Queen Mother, it was both easy and difficult for a person to die in this palace.
As long as Shen Shuyi dies and the Qingyuan Marquisate falls, coupled with the trap that Lu Hezheng has set up against Xie Jingchi, the Lu family can then come up with a scapegoat and perhaps they can get through this crisis.
"How are the arrangements going with your uncle?" Lu Qing asked.
"We have sent people to sneak into Xie Jingchi's mansion and hid a lot of calligraphy and paintings and antiques in the warehouse." Xiao Heyu said.
Lu Qing nodded and said nothing.
Since there was no handle to hold against Xie Jingchi, they could only create some stains. Fortunately, Xie Jingchi was quite picky about his appearance. He wore gorgeous clothes and expensive accessories. According to others, he was extremely picky about food, clothing and other expenses.
In this way, it can be considered as a handle.
"Have you asked your father how he plans to deal with your uncle?"
"My father only said that he will make a decision after the investigation is thorough." Xiao Heyu's eyes darkened a lot. He felt that he didn't know when everything started going wrong for him.
"Forget it, don't be too anxious, or you might dislike your father. The time for the morning court is almost here, so go first." Lu Qing waved her hands, feeling upset.
It seemed that since some time ago, the Lu family seemed to be surrounded by Xie Jingchi and Shen Shuyi little by little.
These two inconspicuous people seemed to have extraordinary powers without anyone noticing.

Royal study room.
"Your Majesty, last night, someone sent quite a few gifts to the storeroom of my mansion, but unfortunately they were all junk, with few good things."
After listening to Xie Jingchi's words, Emperor Qianwu's eyes fell on the table in front of him.
At this moment, on the table in front of him, there was a pile of valuable cultural relics, calligraphy and paintings, and pearls and jade bottles, which were actually things of good quality.
But he has always known Xie Jingchi's personality. He is very picky. There are few things in his private warehouse that he likes. These things are really junk.
"I think it won't be long before someone secretly impeaches me for accepting bribes, bending the law for personal gain, and attacking the Lu family at the behest of others." Xie Jingchi sneered and spoke with a teasing look in his eyes.
Emperor Qianwu was not in a very good mood. Others did not know what this meant, but he knew it very well.
