The female supporting role is really here to mess things up
Chapter 16 Then He Had to Go
Each mansion received the invitations from the Princess's Mansion one after another, and the Censor's Mansion was no exception. Because of the Princess's special instructions, the invitations were sent to the Censor's Mansion along with the gifts.
After Wang Xu returned to the mansion, he heard from the servants that the Princess's Mansion had sent something. His eyes flashed, and he asked the messenger to call the housekeeper in the mansion over. By the way, he asked him to tell the housekeeper to bring the things sent by the Princess's Mansion when he came.
"The Princess's Mansion has even sent someone to pass on a message to you, sir!"
As soon as the butler saw his young master, he excitedly told him about this matter, hoping to make his young master happy.
These days, his young master has asked him to send gifts to the Princess's residence. He has also seen the gifts, which are all small things that only girls would like. Isn't it just to please the princess?
In addition, before Princess Lening went to the border, his young master had frequently shown his affection to Princess Lening, so the housekeeper naturally thought that his young master was deeply in love with Princess Lening.
But when his young master heard him talking, there was no change in his expression. He just looked at the contents of the invitation with a faint look.
Wang Xu saw the simple three lines of words on the invitation, which meant that he was invited to attend the polo meeting on the first day of next month.
He slowly closed the invitation and opened the box that the servant had brought along with the invitation. After opening it, he saw a pearl of good quality lying inside. But the Imperial Censorate had never lacked these gold and silver jewels, and there were several better ones than this one. He took a few glances and then closed the box.
He turned his attention to the butler standing in front of him.
"Tell me what the message is."
Although the butler was puzzled by his young master's reaction, he continued to reply cheerfully after hearing his young master's words.
"The princess said that Princess Lening has been in a much better mood since she received the gift from the young master, and she has recovered in the past few days. She also told you not to worry."
After hearing the message from the butler, Wang Xu still had the same indifferent expression on his face.
"Okay, I understand. Then you can go down."
After seeing the butler leave the yard, he gave instructions to his personal bodyguard A Ye.
"Go down and find out if the Princess's Mansion has sent a letter to the General's Mansion. Also report to me Xue Qinglan's recent movements."
Ah Ye immediately set out to investigate the news, and hurried back home the next morning. After returning home, he went to Wang Xu's courtyard as soon as possible, wanting to tell his young master the information he had found.
After hearing what his subordinates said, the man finally smiled.
"As expected, the princess probably doesn't want Princess Lening and Xue Qinglan to have any more contact. She has hosted so many children of high-ranking officials, but she won't host the general's mansion. Great, it seems that these past few months of hard work have paid off."
Seeing that his young master was happy, A Ye quickly flattered him.
"Master is really smart. He thought of sending Su Jiaojiao to the border and used a beauty trap. In just two months, he alienated the two. It's not long before Master achieves his wish."
"It's too early to say this now. Xue Qinglan is relatively stable right now. He is too sentimental and doesn't know how to adapt. I don't think he will take the initiative to approach Zhao Lexuan again... But it's not easy to make Zhao Lexuan give up completely... We have to increase the conflict between the two families, and we have to do something else..."
Wang Xu tapped the desk with his right index finger, again and again, very regularly. Ah Ye, who was standing beside him, felt very nervous, as if the tapping sounded like it was hitting his heart. Only when the tapping sound stopped did Ah Ye relax.
"Where is the trouble-making kid from the Xue family now?" Wang Xu thought of Xue Ji and immediately felt that he had found a breakthrough.
After hearing the questions from his master, Aye's heart, which had just relaxed, was lifted up again. He felt a little nervous, but he still spoke.
"When I was trying to find out about Xue Qinglan yesterday, I paid special attention to him, but I only heard that the second son of the Xue family had committed a crime a few days ago and injured someone on the street. He is now detained in the mansion by General Xue... The general's mansion is heavily guarded, and I didn't dare to enter rashly, so I didn't contact Su Jiaojiao... I couldn't find out more information."
Wang Xu did not express dissatisfaction after hearing this, and spoke calmly. "Don't rush to contact Su Jiaojiao. She has not been in the mansion for long, and it is not easy to take root in the general's mansion. She may not have established a firm foothold yet. She is my most important chess piece, so she must be carefully hidden..."
He thought carefully before continuing.
"General Xue has always been a strict law-abiding person, and he has made no exceptions for his youngest son. He will probably be locked up for a while. But the general's wife loves her son dearly, so I don't think she will keep him locked up forever... You should make good preparations first, and send someone to ask him about his favorite places to go. Then arrange a few people to squat in the places he often goes, and then put on a show for the troublemaker."
Xue Ji never thought that he wanted to get out of the cage set by his father, but there was already a trap outside waiting for him to jump in...
Xue Ji, who was imprisoned in his own ancestral hall, was still feeling very aggrieved. Last month, he was clearly acting bravely to help others, but he never thought that because he failed to control his strength, he would cripple someone.
The family that was beaten and crippled had only this one son. Seeing their son lying on the ground like a cripple, they had no time to fear the power of the general's mansion. They cried and made a scene and reported it to the authorities.
Although Xue Ji was released without charge because of the reasons, as soon as he returned home, he was put in solitary confinement by his father, who was informed of the cause and effect of the incident by the servants in advance. He has been in solitary confinement for 23 days now, and it will take several more days before he can be released...
During the days of confinement, his father not only did not allow him to leave his yard, but also did not allow others to pass on any news from the outside world to him. Being isolated from the world for a whole month was really suffocating. When the time came and the confinement was lifted, he must go to Tianxiang Tower for a good meal. Before the day of the release of the confinement arrived, Xue Ji had already thought about what to do after leaving the mansion.
As soon as the one-month deadline arrived, the guard at the door opened the door for him on time. Before the general's wife had time to see her son, Xue Ji took his purse and ran out.
As for the several specially trained commoners who were bribed by A Ye arranged by Wang Xu, they had been waiting in Tianxiang Tower five or six days in advance because they did not know the day Xue Ji would leave the palace.
Several people were getting a little impatient at this point, thinking that the polo match would be held tomorrow, and if Mr. Xue didn't come, the brothers would not get any generous reward money.
After waiting for a long time, the second son Xue finally showed up. Several people immediately followed Xue Ji. When they saw Xue Ji sitting down, they immediately occupied the seats at the next table. After seeing Xue Ji finish ordering the dishes, several people winked at each other and began to perform according to the script arranged by the superiors. Several people did not control the volume, but the hall was already noisy, so the conversation between several people did not attract much attention from others. But Xue Ji was at the next table, and his hearing was not bad, so he naturally heard it clearly.
The script that Wang Xu arranged for the others was very simple:
The heroine is naturally Princess Le Ning, who is portrayed as a devoted woman who travels thousands of miles to pursue her lover, while the hero Xue Qinglan is described as a fickle and promiscuous man.
The conversation also included: Talking about how it was wise for the Princess's Mansion to hold a polo match without inviting the General's Mansion, as they believed that only General Xue in the General's Mansion was a real talent. Talking about how Xue Qinglan went to the border to be a deputy general and had not fought in a year or two. Not only did he not make any contribution to the border, but he also brought a beautiful woman back from Beijing. Who knows how he was doing there. What made them even more angry was that he had no achievements in military discipline, but was actually awarded military merit by His Majesty.
Xue Ji was a man of quick temper. Due to lack of information during the past month, he naturally had no idea that so many things had happened during the time he was in solitary confinement.
As soon as he got out of his own cage, he suddenly heard others being very annoyed about his eldest brother's arrangement. Although he was very curious about his eldest brother bringing back a strange woman from the border, his desire to protect his eldest brother overwhelmed his curiosity. He slammed the table heavily and stood up and was about to step forward.
But I saw that the group of people had already stood up. They continued to discuss while walking out. "We should keep a low profile. After all, we are just ordinary people. How can we discuss the affairs of nobles... I heard that the princess spent a lot of time arranging the polo match to be held tomorrow, and the venue was specially chosen in the royal garden in the eastern suburbs. It would be great if we could go in and take a look."
After hearing the latter part of the conversation, Xue Ji stopped moving forward. After all, the people in front of him were just ordinary people in the capital, as they said. And what they discussed was only something that everyone in the capital knew... However, the polo match was tomorrow, and he only found out about it today. The Princess Mansion didn't want his family to attend, and Zhao Lexuan didn't even call him brother and him! But he had to go tomorrow! The Han family should be invited...
