Shen Leyan was secretly surprised. The late emperor had expressly forbidden anyone from discussing this matter, which showed that this matter must be no simple matter.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for an old palace official like Nanny Lan to be unaware of the news.

At the same time, the eldest princess returned to her mansion and paced back and forth in the room anxiously.

Her intuition told her that the Queen Mother was acting so abnormally today, she must have noticed something, or someone must have told her something.

"No, this marriage must be arranged as soon as possible. If the Queen Mother interferes, it will only lead to more trouble."

At this time, a trusted maid came in and whispered, "Your Highness, there's news from the Ye family asking how the plan is going."

The princess gritted her teeth and said, "Tell them not to worry for now. I need to think of a solution."

Jiayin must marry into the Ye family. Only in this way can she consolidate her relationship with the Ye family.

At this moment, Jiayin came to pay her respects, and she noticed that her mother looked strange.

She had a vague feeling that something was happening, and a marriage conspiracy surrounding her was still surging in the dark.

Although she didn't want to marry into the Ye family, she had no other choice at the moment.

Although the eldest princess doted on her in small matters, she never disobeyed her mother in big matters.

Jiayin bowed and said softly, "Mother, I see that you seem to be worried, but is there something wrong with my marriage with the Ye family?"

"That's not the case. Don't think too much about it. Just wait for your marriage."

Jiayin lowered her eyes, "My daughter knows."

Although her mother didn't say it, she knew her mother's character. If her plan had succeeded, she would definitely not have this expression.

For some reason, she felt a little excited inside.

How she wished she didn't have to marry into the Ye family...

Thinking of this, she immediately sent someone to the Ye family to find Ye Jinyu.

Although she was now very angry with Ye Jinyu, thinking that she was as stupid as a pig and no longer trusted her, she could still make use of her.

Ye Jinyu secretly hoped that Princess Jiayin would not marry her brother, so she was willing to be used by her.

"My princess, are you saying that the Queen Mother doesn't approve of your marriage with my brother?"

"This is how to do ah?"

Princess Jiayin pretended to sigh and said, "Alas, even my mother can't do anything about this matter, what else can I do?"

"My mother also said that the Queen Mother would personally help me choose a husband who is both civil and military!"

"Let me wait patiently, don't worry."

"what?"

Isn’t her brother a man of both civil and military talents?

Ye Jinyu was shocked. She felt as if she had discovered something big.

Could it be that the grown-up princess is just using her brother as a backup?

Is she doing this just to stabilize the Ye family?

No! She must go back immediately and tell her brother and father about this, so that her brother won't have to marry Princess Jiayin.

The eldest princess did not really want to marry Princess Jiayin to her brother. Their Ye family could not be used as a gun by others anymore!

As soon as Princess Jiayin saw Ye Jinyu's expression, she knew that she had been fooled again, and she unconsciously curled the corners of her lips.

Holding Ye Jinyu's hand, she comforted him, "Sister Jinyu, don't be sad. Even if I can't be your sister-in-law, we are still sisters."

Ye Jinyu felt very hurt when she heard Princess Jiayin's words, as if she really wanted her to marry her brother.

Bah! Who wants to be your sister?

I, Ye Jinyu, don’t care!

She still smiled falsely and agreed with a few words, then immediately went back to report the situation.

Ye Jinyu said excitedly: "Father, brother, we can't let the princess and the others fool us anymore!"

"I heard these things from Princess Jiayin myself, and in my opinion, they don't really want to cooperate with our Ye family."

"Did Princess Jiayin really tell you this?"

"Of course! How could a daughter dare to lie to her father and brother about such an important matter?"

"Princess Jiayin has no reason to lie to me, and it's impossible that the eldest princess lied to her!"

Father Ye frowned, his eyes deep, "That's true..."

Father Ye suddenly thought of the reply letter the eldest princess had just sent him, which seemed to have mentioned that he should not be anxious for the time being.

Based on the news brought back by Ye Jinyu, Ye's father also felt that there was something wrong with the eldest princess and Princess Jiayin.

Or does she want to achieve her own goal without sacrificing the happiness of her beloved daughter?

So she really intends to stabilize the Ye family first?

Anyway, no matter what, he couldn't trust this deep-minded woman wholeheartedly!

He sent people to inquire about the matter, and soon he learned that the Queen Mother was choosing a husband for Princess Jiayin.

This further increased the Ye family's suspicion and jealousy of the eldest princess.

The eldest princess had never been honest with the Ye family, and this heartless woman could even easily abandon her own husband.

Such a person can do anything, how can they dare to cooperate with her sincerely?

Otherwise, if they were betrayed by this vicious woman, their Ye family would have to be complacent and help her count the money.

"It seems that the eldest princess is indeed thoughtful and thoughtful. I'm afraid this marriage will be full of uncertainties."

Ye Jinyu nodded hurriedly, "Dad, we can't let her scheme against us."

Father Ye stroked his beard and pondered for a moment before saying, "If that's the case, there's no need for us to marry Princess Jiayin, this giant Buddha."

"If the Queen Mother wants to help her choose a better husband who is both civil and military, then let her do it."

"That's right. Our Ye family doesn't want such scheming women." Mrs. Ye quickly agreed.

She also didn't want Princess Jiayin to be her daughter-in-law, otherwise she would not be able to control her in the future and it would cause unrest in the family.

Ye Jinyu couldn't help but feel secretly proud. She didn't expect that her plan would succeed so smoothly.

She is really very smart!

Let’s see who dares to call her stupid again!

Little did she know that her self-proclaimed cleverness was inseparable from the encouragement of Shen Leyan and Princess Jiayin...

Shen Leyan got the news as early as when they first conspired in Wangjiang Tower.

Although she didn't know the specific content of their conversation, she guessed most of it based on some clues.

She knew that Princess Jiayin and Ye Jinyu each had their own thoughts, but they had the same common goal.

Of course, she was happy to see this happen, and it was she who deliberately promoted the Queen Mother's choice of a husband for Princess Jiayin.

In addition, Shen Leyan asked someone to investigate the eldest princess's accounts and personnel movements in recent years.

Especially the actions of Li Qingxin and Li Lian, father and son, made her feel that the eldest princess must be involved.

After all, the Li family is so rich, why would they take such a big risk to do such a heinous and treasonous thing that could cost them their lives?

Shen Leyan felt that there must be something fishy going on. She felt that if she wanted to find out the whole story, she had to take action against the prince consort.
