[Through the Book] The ancestor only wants to live a long life

Rong Enqing asked someone to simply treat Yun Hong's neck wound, and arranged for Hu Shan to be in charge of looking after the group.

The people brought by Tingqin and the people subdued by Yunye helped Steward Li take control of the Marquis' Mansion. Then they arranged for people to clean up the gold in the warehouse.

After Rong Enqing and Yun Ye had rested for a while, they sat together again after a long time and talked about their future plans.

"I'm afraid today's incident will soon reach His Majesty. It's hard to say how His Majesty will react."

Rong Enqing sighed, "I have no choice. Yuan's death is a hurdle I can't get over. I have to do something. But I didn't expect you to have other plans. This way, I have inadvertently disrupted your plan."

"I know. I don't mean to blame my grandmother." Yun Ye was also helpless.

He has completely won the trust of his father and housekeeper Lao Li. If nothing unexpected happens, his undercover plan will succeed.

Unfortunately, everything fell through.

In order to protect herself, my grandmother now wants Emperor Taihe to clear out the rebellious forces left in the capital by my great-grandfather in advance.

In this way, he would have no chance to get along with his great-grandfather.

"That's how it is anyway." Rong Enqing said, "After all the gold is collected tonight, I will go to the palace to see the emperor tomorrow morning. As for the result, we can just wait and see.

"If we are lucky enough to survive, we will go far away and live a good life in anonymity.

"If Emperor Taihe is cruel, then we, the grandparents and grandchildren, will go to the underworld together, and we will have a companion on the road."

Yun Ye shook his head. "From what I've seen, Emperor Taihe probably won't want to kill us. But I'm afraid we'll have a hard time in the future."

He paused, his tone bitter, "But I don't want to see my grandmother and mother suffer."

"It's okay. As long as the family is safe and sound." Rong Enqing comforted with a smile.

Yun Ye also curled the corner of his mouth.

After a while, Yun Ye said thoughtfully: "Grandma, today's incident happened suddenly. I think my uncle-in-law is still not clear about the situation."

"You mean Xu Changping?" Rong Enqing looked at Yun Ye strangely, then realized, "I overlooked that. He is also a fanatical follower of your great-grandfather."

Rong Enqing thought for a moment and continued, "Since we have arrested your father, there is no reason for us not to arrest him. However, I am afraid that your aunt will resent us in the future."

"No. I mean to keep my uncle."

"Keep it?"

"Yes. From what I understand, my uncle-in-law is more than just my father's good friend."

Yun Ye explained: "He has actually been secretly helping my great-grandfather to recruit talents. Now, among the six ministries in the court, many low-level officials and new scholars have close personal relationships with my uncle.

“When my grandfather starts a rebellion in the future, my uncle’s influence among the literati cannot be underestimated.

"So, my uncle is actually one of the core figures in my great-grandfather's camp. His status is definitely not lower than that of Butler Lao Li.

“I thought that during this liquidation of the capital’s forces, I might be able to take advantage of the chaos and flee the capital with him.

"If planned properly, my previous plan might be able to continue."

As soon as Yun Ye finished speaking, Rong Enqing shook his head again and again, "No! This is too risky! I don't agree."

"grandmother……"

"Have you ever thought about what would happen to you if Yun Yi knew that you and I had teamed up to take down Yun Hong and Li Mao? Look at the Yuan family, and then look at your father, they are all crazy! They can kill me, so they will naturally not show mercy to you!

"What's more, you also said that Xu Changping is a hidden talent. With his intelligence, I'm afraid he will kill you as soon as you come into contact with him."

She still remembered that when she returned home for the third time, Xu Changping had tested her. Soon after, Yun Hong had accused her of betrayal. Then came Yuan's warning to push her off the cliff.

People like this are dangerous!

She would never allow Yun Ye to risk his life.

"But……"

Yun Ye wanted to speak, but was interrupted by Rong Enqing again.

"I know that this rash action of arresting your father and Old Li will disrupt the deployment of Emperor Taihe and will definitely anger him. Even if we offer this batch of gold, we will not get anything good.

"So, you want to risk your life to fight for a chance for us to save the mansion and retain our honorable status.

"But grandma doesn't care! I believe your mother would rather live a hard life than let you take risks."

Yun Ye smiled bitterly. He knew that once his plan was known by his grandmother, it would mean that his plan would fail.

Therefore, if it wasn't absolutely necessary, I wouldn't have revealed my true intentions just now.

"Before Yun Hong and Li Mao were captured, your plan was indeed feasible. But now, your plan is no longer feasible."

Rong Enqing made a decision, "So, forget about your plan. Let's just sit back and wait for Emperor Taihe to give us a result."

"Well then." Yun Ye smiled helplessly, and then said: "Since my plan doesn't work, then I can't let my uncle-in-law run away."

"Okay. The sooner the better. I'll send someone to catch him right away." Rong Enqing nodded in agreement.

"The academy will be closed tomorrow, and my uncle-in-law has gone back to the Anguo Mansion today. It's impossible to arrest him."

Yun Ye thought for a moment and said, "Grandmother should send someone close to her to the Duke of Anguo's mansion and tell them that Grandmother has a sudden illness and asks my aunt and uncle to come back. This may trick them into coming.

"Don't blame me, grandma. I didn't mean to curse you to get sick. It's just that this excuse is the most reasonable and the one I won't tolerate any doubt at the moment."

My grandmother went to the temple with Yuan yesterday to burn incense, and when she came back, Yuan died. My grandmother was so frightened that she was bedridden. This is reasonable.

In addition, Xu Changping knew Yuan's identity, and he himself was a thoughtful person. He might think that Rong Enqing fell ill because he was shocked, afraid, and guilty.

In addition, Xu Changping might have suspected that Yuan's death was related to Rong Enqing.

Maybe he would be happy to come to visit the patient and find out whether Yuan was killed by Rong Enqing.

Rong Enqing understood Yun Ye's intention as soon as he heard it, so he naturally agreed.

Xiu Zhang was immediately sent to the Duke of Anguo's Mansion to deliver the message.

However, the grandparents obviously underestimated Xu Changping's IQ.

When Xu Changping saw Xiu Zhang, he became suspicious. After Xiu Zhang finished delivering the message, Xu Changping made an excuse to report to his parents and elders, and disappeared without a trace. He only told someone to tell him that he had encountered something with his elders and could not leave, so Yun Shu could go back alone. He also thoughtfully asked someone to prepare many precious medicinal materials such as ginseng and deer antlers for Yun Shu to take back with her.

When they saw Yun Shu coming back alone, Rong Enqing and Yun Ye came to their senses.

The excuse is a good one, but it has too many loopholes!
