Yuan Wei's Quick Travel

Chapter 433: Cannon Fodder in Stepmother's Story 5

Yuan Wei initially did not intend to tell Yuan Jingsi Zishu's true identity, simply because she could not explain her own information channel.

However, when Yuan Wei suspected that the Third Prince was responsible for this, Yuan Jingsi chose to believe her without even asking.

Yuan Wei was well aware of the position the original owner held in Yuan Jingsi's heart, as well as his unreserved trust in her.

The original owner had been studying under the Duke of Zhenguo together with her brother since she was a child. What she learned was not the housekeeping skills that girls from ordinary families learned.

Instead, they were classic texts such as the Four Books and Five Classics and the ever-changing situation in the court.

When the original owner was young, he was taken to the northern border and lived there for two years.

This is the noble lady who was carefully cultivated by the Duke of Zhenguo Mansion and should have a brilliant life.

In the end, by some strange coincidence, he became Feng Zhining's stepping stone.

"Does your cousin know that Zishu is the Third Prince's man? Does she know what Zishu is going to do?"

As before, Yuan Jingsi did not ask Yuan Wei how she knew these inside stories.

What he was more concerned about at this moment was how many spies from the royal family were hiding in the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.

Were these spies sent by the current emperor or the princes?

This is definitely not a good sign. It means that the royal family has become suspicious of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion and has lost their previous trust.

When he thought of this, Yuan Jingsi couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.

Although the current Zhenguo Mansion is prosperous, our ancestors have been brave and fearless in guarding the northern border.

Most of the martyrs of the Zhenguo Mansion who died heroically shed their blood on the battlefield and returned home wrapped in their horsehide.

Not to mention the glorious achievements and tragic sacrifices of his grandfather's generation, let's just talk about his father's generation.

At that time, the Duke of Zhenguo had a total of eight brothers, both legitimate and illegitimate. However, today, only his father is still alive.

Fortunately, when it came to his generation, his father had foresight and intended to guide them to abandon military affairs and pursue literature, and stay away from military power disputes.

Because of this, the three brothers were able to live a relatively stable and peaceful life in the prosperous and bustling capital.

In fact, my father and the emperor are both well aware of this matter.

According to common sense, His Majesty should not point the finger at the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion at all.

Could it be that the princes under them are secretly plotting and recklessly targeting their family?

"Feng Zhining probably doesn't know."

Yuan Wei shook her head and then continued:

"We're already aware that the Third Prince harbors hostility towards the Zhenguogong Mansion. We should inform Grandfather of this, and have everyone in the family be more vigilant. Furthermore, we must tighten our own 'fences'! Clear out whoever needs to be cleared out."

Yuan Wei was not worried at all that Yuan Jingsi would not avenge them.

After all, he suffered a great loss this time. Given Yuan Jingsi's personality, he would never let the Third Prince go easily.

However, the house really needs to be tidied up, otherwise, any cat or dog would dare to come and plot against them.

"Mom will probably be back soon." Yuan Wei reminded Yuan Jingsi softly.

"Okay, go back to your room and rest. I'll find a chance to explain things to your mother."

Yuan Jingsi waved his hand casually, indicating Yuan Wei to leave first.

Yuan Jingsi was not worried about the Feng family.

He believed that Feng could tell the difference between a biological son or daughter or a niece from her mother's side.

Although Feng Zhining had no idea that Zishu was a spy, it was an indisputable fact that she was trying to plot against Yuan Wei.

The Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion will never tolerate the existence of such a treacherous and sinister person.

From now on, Feng Zhining will never set foot in the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion again. Yuan Jingsi will never let her have any relationship with the Feng family again!

As soon as Feng, who had just returned, stepped into the mansion, Yuan Jingsi told her what Yuan Wei and her brother had encountered.

"This...Zhi Ning really plotted against Wei'er? But that Zi Shu is clearly the Third Prince's man!"

After hearing this, Feng was not only shocked, but also a little hesitant and confused.

Yuan Jingsi stared at her with a meaningful and slightly scrutinizing look, and slowly said:

"You didn't believe what Wei'er said, and you didn't even ask about Xinkai's current situation. Instead, you were only interested in exonerating Feng Zhining."

When Feng heard this, her expression instantly became stiff, and the action of gently stroking the handkerchief seemed extremely unnatural.

She forced herself to calm down and stammered to explain:

"This... isn't it because you just told me that Xinkai is fine and has fallen asleep. And Wei'er is fine too."

"Besides, I don't doubt Wei'er. I just don't have any solid evidence to prove that Zhining was responsible."

Having said this, Feng seemed to feel that what she said made sense, so she felt a little more confident. She straightened her back and sat up straight, looking back at Yuan Jingsi without flinching.

"You know, Zhining is the child we've watched grow up. In my opinion, she would never do such a despicable thing. I guess there must be some misunderstanding here, right?"

Feng still tried to defend Feng Zhining without giving up.

She really didn't believe that Feng Zhining would do such a thankless task!

After all, such behavior would do her no good at all.

If Wei'er's reputation was really ruined, she would not be able to marry into the Eastern Palace and become the Crown Princess. Her background would be a gap that she could not cross.

She found it even harder to believe that Feng Zhining, a child she had carefully raised, would have the idea of ​​clinging to the powerful and willingly becoming a concubine.

On weekdays, the two sisters seemed to get along well with each other and there had never been any rifts or fierce disputes.

What could be the reason that made Feng Zhining take such a desperate measure?

Feng couldn't figure it out!

Yuan Jingsi couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

Perhaps because she was not able to accompany her since she was young, although Feng still has some maternal love for Wei'er, it is not deep after all.

The original owner had been living with his grandparents since he was young, and only returned to the Feng family in the past two years.

Therefore, in terms of emotional closeness, the relationship between Feng and Feng Zhining is obviously much closer than that between them and the original owner.

However, Feng was by no means unreasonable. If Feng Zhining had really set up a trap to plot against Yuan Wei, she would surely no longer favor and protect her.

At this moment, deep down in her heart, Feng simply didn't want to believe that the girl she had raised with her own hands would deliberately murder her own daughter.
