After the cannon fodder father and daughter married into the family, the whole family regretted it

The secret letter was indeed written in Hao Kun's handwriting, but Hao Kun has always been a steady person, so how could he write a letter with such a strong tendency?

Although the secret letter clearly stated that it was for him at the beginning, how did it end up in the hands of the third princess?

If he hadn't admitted his mistake, would Fang Jin have given him the letter?

The more Chen Min'an thought about it, the colder he felt on his back.

His hands were shaking as he held the letter paper.

Fang Jin looked at it and found it interesting: "In-laws, after receiving this letter, don't you want to seek justice for my son-in-law?"

Chen Min'an only felt his throat dry, and for the first time he felt fear towards Fang Jin, or the Third Princess.

His voice was hoarse: "Mr. Fang, how do you think I should seek justice?"

"Of course I will appeal to His Majesty and ask His Majesty to make the decision."

Fang Jin spoke lightly.

Chen Min'an had long known that the third princess had connections with the Marquis of Southwest, and she did not want a war to break out in the southwest.

But the emperor had long coveted Southwest. Even after Prince Ning got into trouble, the emperor issued an imperial edict directly reprimanding the Marquis of Southwest regardless of right or wrong.

At this time, if he took this letter to the court, he would be trying to exonerate the Marquis of Southwest, which would offend the Ning Wang Mansion and even slap the emperor in the face.

The Chen family became the target of public criticism.

Although Chen Min'an doesn't have any great talent, he can still figure this out.

"Fang, in-laws, Hao Kun is also your son-in-law. Don't you have any plans for him at all?"

Chen Min'an struggled.

Fang Jin looked at him deeply.

"It is precisely because he is my son-in-law that I have this opportunity."

"The Third Princess is someone who can accomplish great things, and the people she needs must be talented and capable. Could it be that Lord Chen thinks that Hao Kun will be given an important position just by going to the southwest and making some meritorious contributions for nothing?"

"Everything you do has risks. The more you want, the greater the risk. Sir Chen, you should understand this principle, right?"

Chen Min'an took a deep breath and said, "There's no need for such a cruel method. Although the Third Princess is doing this for the Second Prince, the Second Prince has always been kind..."

Fang Jin stood up suddenly.

"My dear, I will pretend I didn't hear you. If you do it again, no one can save you."

After saying that, he walked straight away.

Chen Min'an's face turned from blue to white. He had spoken out of turn. How could he say that the Third Princess was vicious?

But if the Third Princess' plan is followed, what chances will the Chen family have of survival if they jump onto the table?

Not to mention what will happen to his son, I'm afraid the entire Chen family will not be able to be saved.

Chen Min'an sat there all night without being able to fall asleep. At daybreak, he asked someone to prepare a sedan chair.

Not to attend court, but to meet the second prince.

But I didn't see anyone.

It is said that the second prince volunteered in front of His Majesty to copy Buddhist scriptures for ten days to pray for the prince's safety.

During the prayer period, of course, no outsiders are allowed.

How could it be such a coincidence? Chen Min'an smiled bitterly. Is this the fate of the Chen family?

"Master, it's getting late. Do you want to go to court?"

Seeing that his master was standing there in a daze, the servant carefully reminded him.

Chen Min'an nodded and got on the carriage like a puppet.

When the carriage arrived outside the palace, Chen Min'an got off and carefully straightened his official robe before entering the palace.

During the morning court session that day, something major happened that shocked the government and the public.

Did the assassination of Prince Ning mean that he acted improperly and brought disaster upon himself?

Of course Prince Ning would not admit it, and the two sides argued endlessly in the court.

However, most ministers believed that no matter what, the matter should have nothing to do with the Marquis of Southwest, so why not withdraw the imperial edict of reprimand?

Of course the emperor would not agree. The imperial edict had been issued and his words were spoken. If he were to take it back, wouldn't he, as the emperor, have any dignity left in him?

The emperor lost his temper in the court, scaring all the civil and military officials into kneeling for half an hour.

Chen Min'an has been feeling uneasy. He was involved in this turmoil but was powerless to interfere with its direction.

He left the palace in a daze, and his former colleagues and friends all avoided him like the plague.

Instead, Prince Ning stepped forward, patted him on the shoulder, and smiled wryly.

"I didn't know that Lord Chen was so bold as to slander my Ning Wang Mansion."

Chen Min'an's body trembled and he almost fell down.

Prince Ning glanced at him coldly and walked away with big strides.

Chen Min'an returned home in a daze and looked for Fang Jin first.

Fang Jin sighed, "My dear, what are you afraid of? Since this was arranged by the Third Princess, does she have a backup plan?"

"Hao Kun is my son-in-law, how could I possibly harm him?"

Chen Min'an relaxed for a moment, losing his usual official demeanor. He wished he could hold Fang Jin's hands and "talk to each other about his innermost feelings."

"Thanks to my in-laws for everything." He forced a smile.

Fang Jin nodded, agreeing.

Chen Min'an went back to the main courtyard to rest, and Su Xiran came over with a bowl of snacks.

"Dad, this is made by my daughter..."

Fang Jin only glanced at the tray briefly and asked directly: "Xiran, I never come to your temple unless I have something to say. If you have something to say, just say it."

Su Xiran's smile froze slightly.

"Dad, look at what you said, are you doubting your daughter's filial piety?"

Fang Jin found it funny to see her with a coquettish look on her face, as if what she said came from the heart.

"Of course I do. It's just that I'm a little tired today. If there's nothing important, Xiran should go back and rest early."

Su Xiran tightened her grip on the tray, feeling that her country father was not easy to talk to.

She forced a smile: "It's something..."

"My daughter deeply admires the Third Princess. I wonder if there's a chance for her to visit?"

This shows that he is not giving up and wants to make up for the mistake he made last time.

Still thinking about the title.

Fang Jin looked her up and down, staring at her until she felt weak all over, then he said: "The princess's residence is not for just anybody to go to."

Su Xiran's face twisted for a moment. What cat or dog? She was the young lady of the Chen family, or the legitimate daughter of the Bo family.

That’s right, even after recognizing Fang Jin, Su Xiran did not give up his status as a member of the Bo Mansion.

Two days ago, she went back to her uncle's house and cried about how she had no control over her life after getting married and that all the household affairs were decided by her father-in-law.

It was because her father-in-law wanted to please the third princess and contacted Fang Jin that she had to hold a welcoming banquet.

She cried bitterly and even pretended to commit suicide to express her feelings.

After this whole drama, only Su Muan believed it without a doubt and felt sorry for her.

However, her father, who had doted on her in the past, became much colder than before, which made Su Xiran feel a little uneasy.

I suspect that it was my mother who whispered in my ear, or that Su Qingya did something?

But that shouldn't be the case. Su Qingya didn't even hold the child of Prince Ning's Mansion. Given her parents' tempers, they would only think that she was useless and would not value her.

This is the misunderstanding caused by incomplete information control.

In short, since she couldn't win over the Bo Mansion, she had to find a way to get close to the third princess.

"Xiran, you are a smart person. You should know that some opportunities cannot be forced." Fang Jin softened his tone, and seemed to be giving earnest advice.

Su Xiran opened her mouth, unwilling to give in.

"However, if one way doesn't work, we should always find another way," Fang Jin said again.

"Please tell me clearly, Daddy." Su Xiran's eyes lit up.

"Isn't Xiran an old friend of Princess Yiyang? The Third Princess also has a good relationship with Princess Yiyang."

Fang Jin reminded.

The Chen family was unaware of the conversation between the father and daughter, and Chen Min'an had no idea that not only would he and his son become pawns, but his daughter-in-law would also rush to drag the Chen family into another storm.
