Getting Rich from Legend of Zhen Huan

Hearing this, Guaerjia wailed as if struck by lightning and leaned against the window. So this is the truth? The Fourth Prince must have been planning how to kick him out since the moment he entered the mansion.

Yixiu waited for Guaerjia to calm down and think about what she wanted to say. She was not Zhen Huan, and she did not have the hobby of seeing people off or seeing them for the last time.

"Guarjia, you know that your words are full of loopholes, and I don't know where to start.

Should I ask you where you found someone to find out that Concubine Nian was pregnant, or should I ask you how you came up with the idea of ​​bribing the medicine boy to frame Qi?"

Without waiting for Guarjia to refute, Yixiu continued, "Then do you know what happened before I came to Jinxuan?"

Yixiu answered her own question, "Nian Concubine ignored her weakness from the miscarriage and insisted on running to Wangshu Pavilion to give Qi Concubine a bowl of safflower, and Qi Concubine had been pregnant for more than a month. I went to see Qi Concubine, and the floor tiles in front of the house were all covered with her blood, which could not be washed clean."

Guaerjia asked in confusion, "Why are you telling me this when I'm dying?" She wasn't pregnant, so why would she be afraid of Nian Shilan's torture? Besides, she wouldn't give Nian Shilan the chance to torture her.

Yixiu raised the corner of her mouth, "Nian Shilan has the support of the Nian family. You think that you will be fine once you die, but I don't know if the people in the Guaerjia Mansion can withstand the revenge of the Nian family." If the Guaerjia clan had not boarded the prince's ship, they would naturally not be afraid of the Nian family. But now, the Guaerjia clan, even the inconspicuous Guaerjia master, has become the leader.

Guarjia's expression suddenly changed, "Are you threatening me?"

Yixiu looked at her with pity, "It's only been three days since Concubine Nian had a miscarriage. Do you know what happened? All the officials of the Qi family in Beijing have been impeached by Nian Xialing's disciples. The married women have been divorced and sent back home. I'm afraid that the children of the Qi family who are under Nian Gengyao will never come back. If things continue like this, the Qi family will not even be able to stay in the capital."

Yixiu was not threatening, he was just stating the facts.

Guaerjia couldn't even sit still. She agreed to the Fourth Prince for the sake of her family. But if her family was retaliated against because of Nian Shilan's incident, what would be the use of everything she had done?

But what right did Guaerjia have to refuse the Fourth Prince's request? The Fourth Prince was afraid of complications, so he discussed it with Guaerjia in a nice way to save her face. If he refused, he would just be tortured into confessing without knowing it. It would be better for Guaerjia to be more self-aware than to offend the Fourth Prince for nothing.

Guaerjia recalled that when she was young, her father taught her brother that the imperial power was like "others are the knife and I am the fish". The royal family was the one holding the knife, and the rest of the people were the fish. At that time, Guaerjia only wondered whether the fish held by the royal family was delicious. Now she understood the bitterness in her father's tone.

Yi Xiu sighed, "If you ask me, it would be a good thing if the Qi family could really leave the capital, at least they could preserve a trace of their bloodline. I'm just afraid that the Nian family won't let them. If Nian Shilan is not happy, she will kill a member of the Qi family to make things more fun. Today it's the brothers and sisters of the same generation as Concubine Qi, and tomorrow it'll be the younger generations. When all of them die, they will be free."

Yixiu's words were not meant to scare Guaerjia, but were actually what happened in her previous life. I don't know if there is any blood left behind, but the Qi family's direct line is extinct, otherwise Qi Yuebin would not have tried so hard to make sure that Nian Shilan and the Nian family would never be able to turn over.

It's just that Qi Yuebin is the one who takes the blame this time, so it shouldn't be that tragic. As the real 'mastermind', Guaerjia will naturally have to bear Nian Shilan's wrath. Lord Guaerjia, who is about to retire, Guaerjia Emin, who is on the rise, and Emin's son and daughter, none of them can escape.

Guaerjia trembled, "No, no, I'm working for him. Our family is loyal to him. How could he do this to us!" Even though Yixiu knew very well that it was all the Fourth Prince's fault, Guaerjia still carefully used a pseudonym to prevent Yixiu from catching any evidence.

Yixiu sighed, "I am the fish and others are the butchers." She didn't even have the strength to resist. Couldn't she just let the Fourth Prince do whatever he wanted to her?

Guaerjia was in a trance. Yixiu's voice and appearance were similar to her father's when she was young. She was never a smart person, and she couldn't act prudently. She had brought this fate upon herself, but her father, her brother, and her young nephews and nieces should not be implicated by her.

Guaerjia stumbled and knelt at Yixiu's feet, just like Li Jingui did yesterday, begging the people sitting there to show her a way out.

"I know you're not the kind of person who takes advantage of others' misfortunes. You must have some ulterior motive in coming to see me today. I've offended you in the past, and I apologize to you, I kowtow to you, I slap myself in the face, whatever you want me to do, I can do it, I just beg you to save our family."

As she said this, Guaerjia kowtowed to Yixiu, but was held back by Yixiu. She had no hobby of torturing people, and she did not feel any pleasure from humiliating others.

"Although the Guarjia clan suffered a lot because of the dethronement of the crown prince, they have not fallen yet!"

This is the true saying that a lean camel is bigger than a horse. Although the Crown Princess's branch could not rise, the Guaerjia clan's side branch was not useless and was more than enough to support the Guaerjia clan. They just kept a low profile for fear of offending Emperor Kangxi again.

Guaerjia's mental state has not been very good in recent years, otherwise she would not have confessed her crime after being intimidated by the Fourth Prince. However, this matter is indeed difficult to deal with. It is nothing to other Guaerjia people, but for the Guaerjia Lord who has long stood on the side of the Fourth Prince, Guaerjia really has no way to refuse the Fourth Prince.

Yixiu pointed out a clear way for the Guaerjia clan, "The Guaerjia clan is leaderless because of the abdication of the crown prince, and Lord Guaerjia has long been attached to a wise leader. Why not introduce him to the clan members?" As long as Lord Guaerjia becomes the connection between the Guaerjia clan and the Fourth Prince, the Fourth Prince, a realistic man, will naturally protect the Guaerjia Mansion.

Guaerjia's eyes lit up. This was a really good idea. However, Yixiu definitely didn't come here for the Fourth Prince. "What about you? What benefits can you get?"

Yixiu smiled and replied, "I wonder if the Guaerjia clan can still contact the deposed crown prince?" Yixiu's ambitions are not limited to the Guaerjia clan. Wouldn't it be better to contact the deposed crown prince directly and take over his old subordinates?

Guaerjia saw Yixiu's ambition and her vigilance against the Fourth Prince, "You, you and the prince are husband and wife, aren't you?"

Yixiu gently touched Guaerjia's cheek and laughed at her naivety, "If you really count it, who in the backyard doesn't regard the prince as their husband?" But did the Fourth Prince stop scheming against his wives and concubines because of this?
