The princess is the only one in Xuanmen, and she is reborn to lift the lid of the prince's coff
Chapter 85 A clever plan
As soon as Jiang Xing and Lu Xuan left, the entire main hall of the Bo Mansion became desolate.
It was clearly June or July, but Song Ming felt cold to the bone.
He looked at Li in bewilderment: "I'm afraid the Bo family is doomed!"
Li's lips were dry and her tongue seemed stuck to her palate. She couldn't utter a word, and all the muscles in her body were shaking uncontrollably.
She leaned on the chair and took a long breath, then suddenly kicked Song Chushi.
"You bastards! How could I have given birth to you and Song Chuchu!"
She used all her strength, tears burst out of her eyes, and she roared without any regard for her dignity.
"That's it! The entire Bo Mansion will be buried with you two!"
She completely collapsed, covering her face and walking towards Song Ming weakly. Her body went limp and she fell on him and burst into tears.
Song Ming's eyes were dull and his hands and feet were cold. He let her lie on him, as if an invisible hand was strangling his throat.
After a long while, he slowly said, "Let's go discuss with the Marquis' Mansion first and see how they plan to deal with us! After all, they still hold a grudge against us for Chuchu's incident, and now is a good opportunity to ease the situation. Now we are being attacked from both sides, how can a small Marquis' Mansion withstand it? It's better to let the gods deal with it when gods fight!"
Song Chusi was a little worried: "But my eldest brother just said that it was the Marquis' Mansion who ordered it. If we go to the Marquis' Mansion now, will they..."
Song Ming rolled his eyes at him and said, "That was just a delaying tactic!"
He looked at Song Chushi and asked, "Do you have any evidence that proves that Ji Cheng asked you to arrange for this person to be with Lu Xiao?"
Song Chushi was embarrassed: "It's been so many years, and our family has always had a good relationship with the Marquis' Mansion. How could we keep such evidence?"
Song Ming closed his eyes and sighed sadly, "Then we have no choice but to have a frank discussion with them about this matter! Either the Marquis' Mansion protects us, or we have to go before the Emperor! We go to the Marquis' Mansion first, but we give them the right to choose. If something goes wrong, our Earl's Mansion can't be blamed!"
Li was in a dilemma, feeling uneasy. "Of course I know what Uncle means! I'm afraid I'll end up getting the best of both worlds!"
Song Chushi's heart sank to the bottom: "Dad! What if the Marquis' Mansion directly denies it and says it was us who did it?"
He had been in contact with the Marquis' Mansion for many years, so naturally he had some understanding of Ji Cheng's temper.
Those who are disobedient almost never have a good end. He has never seen the Marquis' Mansion suffer any loss!
Song Ming, who had always been weak, now had a glint of determination in his eyes: "If they don't admit it, then we can't blame our uncle's family! We will expose them even if we die!"
……
In the side hall of the Marquis's Mansion, the servant who reported had already left.
Ji Cheng, Lord Ji and Ji Bozhou were all here, thinking about how to solve the current problem.
Ji Bozhou looked at Lord Ji in confusion: "Dad, did you send that person? Why didn't you do it more cleanly?"
Lord Ji angrily rolled his eyes at Ji Bozhou. "I don't even know that Doctor Xu! Who knew he was the one who killed Jiang Xing? I said he wouldn't live much longer because I had other plans in mind, thinking he would die! I will never admit to any wrongful accusation against me!"
"He's mine!" After a long while, Ji Cheng said this lightly.
Ji Bozhou was shocked instantly.
"Brother! Why would you send someone so far away to kill Jiang Xing?"
Ji Cheng was surprisingly calm. "The original mission assigned to him was to stay by Lu Xiao's side and treat him as an accident! Who knew that Lu Xiao would find out and actually send people to drive him out of the capital?"
"After leaving the capital, I sent him to Longchuan to lurk beside Jiang Xing and find a way to get rid of him!"
Lord Ji also looked at his eldest son in shock: "Prince Jin was in Longchuan before, he is no threat to us!"
"But that's not certain once we return to the capital!" Ji Cheng sat down calmly. "He's close to the Xie family and the Duke's Mansion. If we keep him here, he'll definitely help the Crown Prince. Why should we keep him here and cause trouble?"
Lord Ji looked at his eldest son carefully for a few times, and finally nodded with satisfaction: "My eldest son's thinking has become more and more profound!"
He thought for a moment, "Now that Jiang Xing has found the Bo residence, they will definitely betray us. How do you think we should handle this?"
Ji Cheng is in his prime, and along the way, he has relied not only on the power of the Marquis' Mansion, but also on his own ruthlessness.
Then, he narrowed his eyes and came up with an idea: "Hasn't the Bo Mansion already betrayed us? There's no time to lose, father, hurry to the palace!"
"Tell the Emperor that we've been dealing with the Bo family for a while now, and we've noticed something unusual. They actually bribed someone to assassinate the Prince years ago! Fortunately, someone saved them, so they didn't commit a serious crime!"
Ji Bozhou looked at Ji Cheng: "Brother, what you mean is..."
"Yes!" Ji Cheng nodded. "We should strike first and convict him before the Bofu opens his mouth! That way, even if the Bofu comes out to accuse him later, it won't be the end of the matter. Besides, it's been several years since the incident, and Song Chushi definitely doesn't have any evidence against us!"
Ji Bozhou thought for a moment, then suddenly laughed, "Brother, that's a great idea!"
His eyes flashed with hatred: "I haven't yet avenged the previous plot by the Bo Mansion to marry Song Chuchu! Now it's just right, all the debts owed to the Marquis Mansion and the plots against the Marquis Mansion should be paid back!"
Ji Cheng: "That's exactly what I meant, brother! Si Luan has been wronged these days!"
Lord Ji touched his chin, a hint of worry in his eyes. "Doctor Xu, did you leave any evidence outside?"
Ji Cheng shook his head, murderous intent flashing in his eyes. "He has his wife and children in my hands. I wonder if they know about this. Xu Xinglin reported this to me on the way back to Beijing with Jiang Xing!"
"At that time, I promised him ten thousand taels of gold. I was expecting news of Jiang Xing's death, but I didn't expect it to turn out like this! That's why I remembered that he hadn't contacted me for a long time!"
He paused and said, "It doesn't matter. Now that Jiang Xing has found the Bo Mansion instead of bringing that man directly to see the emperor, we know that the man must have died in order to protect his wife and children. His wife and children...then we can just deal with them together!"
Lord Ji nodded and said, "Very good! By the way, let's get rid of the Bo Mansion in one fell swoop to avoid any more trouble!"
Ji Cheng added, "I've asked Song Chushi to do a lot of things in the past, and it's inevitable that something will go wrong. Dead people are the most reassuring!"
Lord Ji packed up and went to the palace.
As soon as he left, Wang sent someone to tell him that people from the Bo's Mansion had arrived.
Ji Cheng didn't even raise his head: "No."
Ji Bozhou reached out to stop Ji Cheng: "Let them take Song Chuchu back, and then they can just say they are here to pick up Song Chuchu!"
Ji Cheng gave Ji Bozhou a meaningful look and asked, "Si Luan wants to take advantage of this opportunity to catch them all in one fell swoop?"
Ji Bozhou did not answer, but just looked into the distance and curled the corners of his mouth indifferently.
What he wanted was to make her disappear with the Bo Mansion all at once!
When Song Chuchu heard that the Bo Mansion had come to pick her up, she didn't feel happy at all.
She followed the servant who brought the message to the door of the marquis's mansion with an expressionless face. Just as she was about to ask why she was being taken back, the door of the mansion was slammed shut.
She slammed the door in shock and said, "Why are you closing the door? I'm not going back! I'm the Crown Prince's wife, I'm staying in the Marquis' Mansion, I'm not going anywhere!"
Seeing that it was only Song Chuchu who came out, Song Ming felt confused and dissatisfied: "We didn't say we were going to take you back! We are here to see the Marquis. Let us wait at the door for a while!"
Song Chuchu glanced at him lightly: "Do you think the Marquis is your doorman and you can see him whenever you want?!"
Seeing Song Chuchu's attitude, Song Chusi couldn't help but retort, "Then why were you brought out when we didn't say we were going to take you back?"
Song Chuchu glared at Song Chusi unhappily.
This idiot might be useful in the future, so let’s not offend him for now!
The people from the Earl's Mansion waited until the sun went down, but the Marquis' Mansion did not open the door to invite them in. Song Chusi had already sensed something was wrong.
But Song Ming said, "My Lord must be too busy today. Let's come back tomorrow!"
