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

Wang Qi gritted his teeth: "Thank you, no."

Qin Yan got the news and came out from the study.

"Why are you here? Are you free?"

Although Wang Qi's name seems to mean giving up on himself, he is actually very hardworking. He studies diligently in the Imperial College on weekdays, and usually reads or writes after school.

"Something happened."

He said lightly.

Half a minute later, the three of them were sitting in the Fang family's study.

Wang Qi told him what his father had asked him to do.

"This Patriarch Wang will not give up until he achieves his goal. Nanzhi, you must be careful and don't listen to him."

"Your family has a shallow foundation, so it's not easy to gain a foothold in the capital. You should make good use of the grace you have finally received."

These two sentences are from the heart.

Fang Nanzhi and his sister were stunned by what they heard.

Since Qingyan was cured, the Fang family stayed indoors and had no idea what happened next.

The person who poisoned the prince was caught, and it was unexpected that he was related to the Wang family.

"I understand. By the way, Brother Wang, do you know where your uncle got the poisonous insect?"

Fang Nanzhi's focus was completely elsewhere.

After the incident with the Crown Prince, she became really interested in poisonous insects.

"I don't know." Wang Qi said confidently.

He just heard the whole story, okay?

"Then can you help me find out?" Fang Nanzhi didn't know how to be polite.

Wang Qi: ...

He just refused to help his uncle, and turned around and asked people for information. Isn't this asking for trouble?

He ignored Fang Nanzhi's unreasonable behavior and looked at Qin Yan: "When will Brother Qin return to the Imperial College?"

"Tomorrow."

Qin Yan was also decisive.

They stayed indoors so as not to disrupt the prince's plan. Now that the prince has taken the initiative to show up, they are no longer important.

Even the younger sister saved the prince again. To outsiders, it seemed that the Fang family's support was unbreakable.

"Okay, I've had the homework assigned by your teacher delivered to you recently. Have you done it?"

Hearing that the two of them wanted to talk about schoolwork and ignored her, Fang Nanzhi interrupted.

"Ahem, with such a big incident, I don't need to rush my studies. Brother Wang, does your Wang family have any channels to buy Gu worms? Could you please buy me two?"

Wang Qi was speechless.

"No."

Fang Nanzhi didn't believe it.

"Even if it existed before, it won't happen again in the future."

Wang Qi added.

My uncle made such a big fuss by making poisonous insects. Now the clan has to be busy protecting itself. If they continue to make poisonous insects, wouldn’t they offend the emperor and seek their own death?

Fang Nanzhi also understood and was a little disappointed, but quickly adjusted herself.

"So, the Wang family is in a very bad situation. They have severely offended the Crown Prince."

Wang Qi said meaningfully.

"Not necessarily. The aristocratic families all play chess on many fronts."

Fang Nanzhi read more and more, so he could naturally understand better.

There are many people in aristocratic families, and all the children in the family are literate. Everyone has different ideas and insights, and sometimes they make different choices.

For example.

Some sons thought they should participate in the fight for the throne and choose the second prince, some thought the third prince had great potential, and some felt that they should rely on their own talents to make achievements in the court, rather than just thinking about following the emperor.

The family will not interfere too much with their ideas. This is also a bet by multiple parties. No matter who wins in the end, the family will profit.

"I don't think so. Will the Wang family bet on the previous prince?" Fang Nanzhi smiled.

The prince was a sickly person with a bad reputation before, and he was not very friendly to the aristocratic families. How could anyone in the Wang family be optimistic about him?

Wang Qi thought about it and it was true.

But now the prince's position is unbreakable. If anyone else in the clan contacts the prince, it will probably be of no use, right?

There must be a lot of people who want to get close to and curry favor with the prince now, and the Wang family failed to provide timely assistance.

"Maybe, the patriarch has his own headaches." Wang Qi didn't care much.

He is no longer the crown prince, so there is no need to worry about the future development of the family.

"Brother Wang, what you said is not right. Aren't you also a member of the Wang family? Aristocratic families all believe in sharing weal and woe. The Wang family is in great trouble right now. Brother Wang, don't you want to do your part to help?" Qin Yan suddenly spoke.

Wang Qi looked at him in surprise.

This doesn't sound like something Brother Qin would say. Why is he suddenly urging him to put his family first?

"That's right, my brother, you should consider the family and place a bet on the prince." Fang Nanzhi also spoke righteously.

The brother and sister sang in unison, and Wang Qi finally reacted.

"Are you trying to win me over for the prince?" He looked serious.

Their interactions have always been based on shared interests and nothing else.

Just as he knew that the Fang family had a good relationship with the prince and didn't care too much, the Fang brothers and sisters knew that Wang Jiwen wanted to plot against them, but they would not vent their anger on Wang Qi.

"You're wrong, Brother Wang Gong. We are planning a way out for you." Fang Nanzhi called him Wang Gong for the first time.

The latter was stunned.

There is a fundamental difference between recruiting talents for the prince and planning for Wang Gong's future.

The former is from the perspective of the prince, and the latter is from the perspective of Wang Gong.

"I remember when we first met, my brother said that many of the other princes were at odds with you, and some were even on good terms with Wang Rong."

"Brother Wang is a member of the Wang family. He can become an official by passing the imperial examination on his own, but will the Wang clan leader suppress you for Wang Rong? Or if Wang Rong becomes the clan leader one day, will he suppress you?"

"Oppression from one's own kind is sometimes fatal."

Qin Yan has a deep understanding of this point.

Although most of the time, people think that a family has a large population and strong power, and its members will not be bullied by outsiders.

But internal strife among the clan sometimes even costs lives.

Wang Gong certainly understood this. When he became the deposed crown prince, why did he look for a backer? Wasn't it to guard against these things?

"So, if my brother wants to make a name for himself and regain his lost position as Crown Prince, he needs support."

"The Crown Prince is now in good health and has gained the Emperor's favor. He has even experienced a miraculous event. It can be said that his position in the Eastern Palace is secure."

"Furthermore, the Crown Prince's intelligence, tactics, and insights surpass those of the other princes. Isn't he the best candidate?"

Fang Nanzhi said sincerely.

She and her brother both knew that Wang Gong changed his name to Wang Qi just to mock himself for being abandoned by his family, but he never thought of giving up on himself.

If you have ambition, you must seize opportunities.

Wang Gong was silent for a long time and finally nodded.

But he was a little nervous: "But I am just an abandoned child of the royal family, and I have come into contact with other princes..."

Therefore, he is just the icing on the cake, maybe not even the flower.

"Brother Wang, don't underestimate yourself. You are a good person. You should always give it a try."

Fang Nanzhi's insincere comfort.

Wang Gong raised his eyebrows: "I thought you were going to introduce me to someone?"

"But we think that brother Wang doesn't need it and would rather meet the prince himself, right?" Qin Yan poured him a cup of tea.

Wang Gong laughed.

"You two brothers and sisters are the worms in my stomach."

Qin Yan hit him on the chest: "What nonsense?"

How did he and his sister become roundworms?

Wang Gong laughed out loud.

When he left Fang's house, he felt refreshed.

Qin Yan and the others really understood him. Considering the situation and his ambition, the person he should rely on the most now is indeed the prince.
