After the marriage, my husband's family listened to my voice and turned the tide

Shang Tingli only stayed in Yu Lingling's room for a cup of tea. In the end, Yu Lingling denied it and insisted that she could not understand what she said.

She didn't insist, nor did she force Yu Lingling to admit anything, because everyone knew it. What she wanted was for Yu Lingling to marry into the Liang family with this anxiety.

Shang Tingli had just come out of Yu Lingling's courtyard when he heard the maid come to report that someone from the Liang family had come and Liang Shen had already arrived in the main hall.

After thinking about it, she went to the living room.

When Shang Tingli arrived at the reception room, many guests had already arrived. As soon as they saw her, many people came forward to greet her.

It was noon when we finished dealing with this.

Ke Xin really came to the Yi Zhong Hou Mansion at this time just as he had said to Shang Tingli. He followed Shang Tingli to the main table.

Although Yu Lingling is a concubine's daughter, everything today was taken care of by her stepmother Pan Yaying, and her aunt didn't even have the chance to attend the wedding banquet.

After the meal, Shang Tingli and Ke Xin said goodbye and returned to Prince Ren’s Palace.

On the way, Ke Xin asked, "Aren't you going to take a look at the Liang family?"

Shang Tingli said, "There's nothing to see."

She was willing to go to the Yizhong Marquis's Mansion so early, not only to give face to her uncle Yu Jing, but also mainly because she wanted Yu Lingling to feel uneasy today. As for going to the Liang family for a banquet? That's not necessary.

Firstly, she was not interested in other people's banquets. Secondly, she and Yu Lingling were not really as close as sisters, so she was not willing to save face.

Besides, the big gift she wanted to give to the Liang family would only be meaningful after some time.

[If I remember correctly, General Xuanwu Liang Weifeng seems to be the Fourth Prince's man? ]

Shang Tingli recalled the things in her past life. In fact, many of the more secret things she knew were mostly learned before she died. So she remembered some things more clearly, after all, she had only been reborn for five months.

[However, I don’t know whether Liang Weifeng has surrendered to the Fourth Prince at this time, and whether he has been used by the Fourth Prince.]

Thinking of this, Shang Tingli glanced at Ke Xin and said, "My Lord, aren't you going to the Liang family for a drink?"

Ke Xin said: “Not interested.”

Shang Tingli: "Okay."

[So, Liang Weifeng hasn't worked for the Fourth Prince yet? Otherwise, Ke Xin shouldn't have this attitude.]

Shang Tingli seemed to be thinking about something.

Ke Xin leaned against the side and closed his eyes to rest.

This time she miscalculated. It wasn't that Ke Ming and the Liang family didn't collude, but that he didn't know whether they did or not. He planned to pass a message to Ke Yu about this matter and let Ke Yu check it out himself.

The two men each had their own thoughts. After returning to Xinyuan, Shang Tingli made tea in the yard while Ke Xin went into the study.

After knowing that they were back, Ke Yifei came to Xinyuan.

Over the past few days, Ke Yi's martial arts skills have improved a lot, and he can even read books.

He came here to return the book. "Sister-in-law, I have finished studying this enlightenment book. I am returning it today."

Shang Tingli asked, "Have you finished learning?"

Ke Yi nodded repeatedly.

It's been almost four months, I have to finish learning it.

"Put it here first."

Shang Tingli motioned him to put the book on the table and asked him to sit down. "Have a cup of tea to moisten your throat first."

"Thank you, sister-in-law."

Ke Yi took the teacup she handed him with both hands, put it to his lips, blew on it a few times, and then slowly drank it.

Shang Tingli sat opposite him and looked at him, somewhat dazed.

She remembered that when she first married into the Prince Ren's mansion, Ke Xiaowu was still a chubby little boy. In the blink of an eye, five months had passed, and he had grown a lot taller, and his body had become much thinner, and his originally chubby face had now become thinner.

He really does look like a little boy.

【well--】

Shang Tingli couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

He suddenly started sighing out of nowhere, and Ke Yi was so scared that he almost couldn't hold the teacup in his hand tightly.

Sister-in-law, what are you thinking about?

He has turned over a new leaf and worked so hard to improve himself, but couldn't he escape his tragic fate? Then what about the suffering he has endured in the past few months? Is he able to endure hardship?

Ke Yi was in a state of confusion.

Shang Tingli didn't think about it anymore, but asked: "Can Xiaowu adapt now? Can he still understand those military books?"

Although Ke Yi was worried about his future, he still answered her question seriously. He said, "I can adapt. I know a lot of words now and can understand military books."

"that is--"

He scratched his head and smiled sheepishly: "I don't understand some of the content thoroughly enough, and I'm still working on it. But don't worry, sister-in-law..." He patted his chest and spoke with force, "I won't be lazy anymore, and I will definitely live up to your expectations of me!"

"Well done, Xiaowu!"

Shang Tingli raised his teacup.

"Sister-in-law, let's use tea instead of wine to toast our Xiaowu!"

Ke Yi: “Fuck!”

The uncle and his sister-in-law drank heartily, as if they had really finished a glass of wine.

While the two of them were drinking happily, Ke Xin asked Chang Di to do something.

"Go to General Xuanwu's mansion. There are many people here today, so it's best to act in secret."

"Just check Liang Weifeng's study to see if there is any letter from him surrendering to Ke Ming, or any letter from Ke Ming trying to win him over."

Ke Xin said: "If you find these letters, don't alarm Liang Weifeng, and don't do anything. Just come back and report."

"Yes."

Chang Di had a serious expression.

Ke Xin waved his hand.

Chang Di went out to work.

……

In the evening, Wenhui sent Nanny Wen to Xinyuan to invite Shang Tingli and Ke Xin to Ronghua Hall for dinner.

When the couple arrived, Ke Yishang and Ke Yi were already in Ronghua Hall. Not only were the two siblings there, but Ke Youwei was also there.

Shang Tingli and Ke Xin looked at each other and saluted Ke Youwei and Wenhui at the same time: "Greetings to father and mother."

Without waiting for Ke Youwei to speak, Wen Hui said, "Don't be so polite. Come and sit down. I asked someone to cook your favorite dishes."

After the couple sat down, Ke Youwei said to Ke Xin with a stern face: "I heard that you are interested in working under Yi Dongliang, is it true?"

Ke Xin paused and said with a wooden face: "Where did father hear this?"

Ke Youwei said dissatisfiedly: "Don't worry about this, just tell me if it's true or not?"

Ke Xin didn't say anything.

Shang Tingli was surprised.

[The Crown Prince is going to work under General Yi? There was no such thing in the previous life. Moreover, this general Yi Dongliang seems to be the Crown Prince's man, right? ]

[General Yi is from the Crown Prince's faction, how could Ke Xin ever think of working under him? ]

After answering the question, Shang Tingli widened his eyes in disbelief, and his hand holding the chopsticks suddenly clenched.

[Could it be the Fourth Prince's idea? Is he planning to have the Crown Prince be a spy so that he can know both himself and the enemy? ]

Hearing her thoughts, Wenhui, Ke Yishang, and Ke Yi and his mother all looked at Ke Xin secretly.

Ke Xin closed his eyes, holding his breath, unable to vent it, and couldn't help thinking.

Should we say she is stupid, or is she too smart?

Ke Xin curled the corners of his mouth.

But it seems that she can't be blamed. After all, he has not yet confessed to her that he has found a new master.

After a moment, he sighed.

"Snapped--"

Ke Youwei was very angry with his attitude and slammed the table angrily to reaffirm his father's authority.

"What's your attitude? I'm asking you a question as a father. Do you have the awareness of being a son?"

Wenhui frowned as she listened.

Ke Xin smiled contemptuously: "According to what father said, I don't think you look like a father at all."

Ke Youwei stared at him with his eyes wide open.

Ke Xin was not afraid of him and said bluntly: "If you were an ordinary father, wouldn't you be happy for your son? Your lazy son who used to do nothing is now willing to make progress. Isn't this a good thing for you? Why are you blaming me instead?"

The curve of his mouth couldn't be suppressed, full of sarcasm.

"Besides, I am the prince. Shouldn't my father be delighted by my actions? But your tone makes me feel——"

Ke Xin pursed his lips and sneered: "You don't want me to do anything?"

[Of course the prince doesn't want you to make progress. The fact that you do nothing all day makes the prince wary. Now you want to find something to do, especially in the barracks where you can make achievements quickly. Will he be happy to see it happen? ]

Shang Tingli felt a sigh in his heart.

[I have never seen a father like the prince. I have only heard of him guarding against outsiders, but how can he guard against his son? ]

[If the prince is the one sitting on the dragon throne, it is understandable. But now he is a prince, and a hereditary prince, so why should we be on guard? ]

She didn't understand, but Ke Xin and Wen Hui did.

It was nothing more than that his son was too capable and might be allowed to inherit the throne as an exception, surpassing him as the prince and becoming the king, and he could only be an idle supreme king. He just didn't want to do that, even if this situation was slim, he didn't want to see it.

The brother and sister Ke Yishang and Ke Yi tried their best to reduce their presence. No one picked up their chopsticks and they didn't dare to pick up any food.

In such a Shura field, they could neither do what they wanted nor find an excuse to leave. The two siblings were really uncomfortable.

After being refuted by his son, although Ke Youwei still had a cold face, his anger had completely dissipated. It was as if he had been reminded that there was something wrong with his attitude.

He reflected on it and realized that this was indeed not the way an ordinary father treats his son.

Some things are not beautiful if you rush into them too much.

Ke Youwei smiled, "How could my father not want you, Xingchen, to make some achievements?"

There was a hint of sneer on Ke Xin's lips.

"Xingchen has mistaken me for his father."

Ke Youwei shook his head, thinking he was speaking from a father's perspective, and said, "I just think that since Xingchen wants to do something, why not let your uncle arrange for you to go to the Ministry of Revenue? You can start as a minor official in the capital, and it will be more reliable if you take one step at a time."

Ke Xin said: "Father, do you think I am uneasy under General Yi's command?"

Ke Youwei waved his hand: "Eh? That's not what I meant. It's just that blood is bound to be seen in the barracks. If you have to go to the battlefield in the future, there will be fighting and killing. Swords have no eyes. Isn't father afraid that you will get hurt?"

Ke Xin cupped his hands and said, "Thank you for your concern, father, but I believe in my ability."

"..."

Ke Youwei choked and didn't say a word for a long time.

[…This is a bit too shameless. ]

Shang Tingli was speechless.

"Well, let's eat. If you don't eat now, the food will get cold." Wenhui said to smooth things over.

Although Ke Youwei felt upset, he didn't say anything else. He was afraid that he would be angered to death by this unfilial son.

He had heard that the princess had invited the prince and his friends to dinner, so he went to Ronghua Hall to block them. But he was choked and unhappy. It was really infuriating.

Some people felt comfortable during this meal, while others felt uncomfortable.

After the meal, Ke Youwei left in a hurry, and Wenhui didn't say a word to keep him.

After hearing her daughter-in-law's thoughts, she felt complicated every time she saw Ke Youwei. Although some things had not yet happened, there was still a knot in her heart that was difficult to get rid of.

"Go back to your own yards and rest."

Wenhui dismissed them softly.

Shang Tingli was very surprised.

She thought Wenhui had something to say to them, but unexpectedly, she just wanted to invite them to have a meal.

Although it was an accident, after Wenhui said that, she did not stay long. She and Ke Xin said goodbye to Wenhui and returned to Xinyuan.

On the way back, Shang Tingli couldn't help but ask after thinking it over again and again, "Sir, is what father said true?"

Ke Xin: "What?"

Shang Tingli looked up at him, blinked, and said, "Father said that you are interested in working under General Yi, is that true?"

Ke Xin stopped and turned his head to look at her. His eyes met hers, and there was a color in his eyes that she could not understand.

He asked back: "If it is true, what will you do?"

Shang Tingli was polite.

She didn't expect him to ask that.

Then she smiled and said, "It's not a bad idea to seek wealth and honor through risk."

[If you were the prince's man, that would be the best. Unfortunately, you are the fourth prince's man.]

[Alas, I have a long way to go. ]

[As expected, there is no such thing as a free lunch. If I want to survive, I still need to work hard. ]

Ke Xin smiled and said, "You are right."

Shang Tingli nodded and said nothing.

From this point on, there was no conversation on the way back to Xinyuan.

The next morning.

When Shang Tingli got up, Ke Xin was no longer by the bed. She had just finished breakfast and was taking her storybook to the yard when she saw Ke Xin coming out of the study. When he saw her, he walked towards her.

Ke Xin sat opposite her.

"I have something to tell you. I think you might be interested."

Shang Tingli was surprised and said, "Why don't you tell me about it?"

[Do you have something else to tell me? Something that interests me?]

Ke Xin did not beat around the bush and said directly: "You know that your cousin's husband, the one who got married yesterday, has a cold body today. The happy event turned into a funeral, and people outside are already talking about it with relish."

Shang Tingli paused, a little surprised and asked: "Liang Shen is dead?"

Ke Xin nodded: "It is said that he drank too much and died suddenly."

Shang Tingli lowered his eyes and thought.

[It was not a sudden death, it was clearly poison. It was Yu Lingling who secretly poisoned Liang Yu.]

Ke Xin was shocked when he heard this.

Is this the truth?

[The result is the same as in the previous life, but there are some slight differences. In the previous life, Yu Lingling did not do anything on the wedding night.]
