The weak princess is super fierce

Chapter 768 What's the Use

As the supervisor of the East Factory, Fan Chou often received imperial missions sent by Emperor Zong himself.

But this was the first time he received the task of keeping an eye on the Eastern Palace. This task really shocked him for a while. He grabbed Min Fan and asked him three times before he was sure that he had heard it correctly.

"Chief Min, could you tell me, His Majesty wants me to keep an eye on His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, mainly to keep an eye on..." Fan Chou's last tone was full of anticipation. He suddenly received such an important task, and he hoped that Min Fan, the leader of the Imperial Shadow Guard, could give him some hints.

Min Fan thought about the secret war that might happen next. Facing Fan Chou's expectant gaze, he finally revealed something: "The eldest cousin of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has killed all the guests of His Royal Highness the Second Prince's private residence outside the palace."

If it were someone else, he would not reveal such an important matter, but Fan Chou was different. As the eunuch in charge of the Imperial Household Department and the head of the Eastern Depot, if he answered the question for him, Fan Chou would definitely do him a favor.

Human relationships can play an unexpected role at certain times.

"Miss Meng?" Fan Chou's eyes widened in disbelief. Seeing Min Fan nod, he could hardly close his mouth. He quickly confirmed again, "But is it the mansion with five courtyards where Mr. Jin, the counselor that the Second Prince trusts and relies on the most, lives?"

"That's right." Min Fan could not reveal any more. The imperial order had been conveyed, so he walked away.

Fan Chou was left alone standing there for a long time, unable to come to his senses.

As the brother of Queen Lu and the chief official of the Beijing government, Lu Sen was in charge of all the resources in the Lu Mansion. However, he only found out about Meng Shisan's killing of the guests in Li Heng's private residence a day late.

There are two reasons for this.

On the one hand, the killer did not make a statement, and on the other hand, the killed also did not make a statement. Both sides were operating in secret, preparing for a bloody showdown in secret.

This duel will not end in a fight to the death, with rivers of blood and piles of bones. I guess no one will stop.

The killing party included the Eastern Palace, and the killed party naturally included all people and things related to Li Heng.

Among them, the Lu family, the maternal family of Queen Lu, not only bore the brunt of the impact, but also could not escape it.

But by the time Lu Sen received the news, twelve hours had already passed, and even Lu Luo, who had been away all day, knew it almost at the same time.

Lu Sen knew about it because of the spies in the Lu Mansion's intelligence network, and Lu Luo knew about it because he had been paying attention to the collapse of Dengshan.

Therefore, Feng Zheng was seriously injured. Although Lu Luo was not present at the time and was unable to provide assistance, he learned about the incident afterwards. After that, when he was keeping an eye on Li Heng, the nephew of the second prince, he inevitably followed the clues and learned about the incident.

At dusk, the two brothers turned on the lights and did not go into the backyard. Instead, they sat facing each other in silence in the large study room in the front yard.

They were waiting for Lu Haoyang, waiting for their father to return home so that the three of them could discuss the next strategy.

As the Grand Secretary of Wenyuan Pavilion, Lu Haoyang is the chief official of the Hanlin Academy. Although his rank is not high, he is the leader of the literati and a model of the clean stream. He works hard every day and sometimes leaves office later than his eldest son Lu Sen.

Today, it's too late.

"A Luo..." Lu Sen felt that he needed to reconsider whether his younger brother and the eldest lady of the Meng family could be married, "Or you should choose another lady?" "What are you talking about, brother!" Lu Luo was not easily moved, and once he was moved, he would not change. Otherwise, why would he track down the collapse of the lamp mountain in order to help Meng Shisan, and then almost at the same time as his elder brother, he discovered that Li Heng's private residence guests were all killed by her, "I'm sure, she only brought two people with her at that time!"

"Two people, including herself, only three people... killed a hundred guests." Lu Sen rubbed his temple, trying to suppress the throbbing uneasiness, but the more he rubbed, the more excited he became. He simply gave up and warned Lu Luo, "Such a fierce woman is not something you can control."

"Why should I suppress her?" Lu Luo asked in surprise, "I want to marry her because I want to grow old with her, not to go against her."

"You!" Lu Sen now faced his younger brother Lu Luo, and the feeling of playing the lute to a cow came back again, and it became stronger. Finally, he squeezed out a conclusion from his lips, "She is not suitable for you."

However, Lu Luo did not accept this conclusion: "If I think it is suitable, then it is suitable."

"What do you mean by suitable or not?" Lu Haoyang, who had just stepped into the study, happened to hear his youngest son's last sentence and continued the conversation.

The two brothers stood up at the same time and faced their father at the door.

"My son was telling A'luo that the girl he has in mind is not suitable to be the second wife of the Lu family." Lu Luo was still thinking about how to answer his old father's question, but his eldest brother Lu Sen had already answered it.

"Oh?" Lu Haoyang walked to the upper seat and sat down, motioning his two sons to sit down, then asked Lu Luo with a smile, "Which daughter of a rich family has Erlang chosen?"

Although the youngest son is only sixteen years old, in reality, they are a good match, so it is not a bad idea to arrange the marriage in advance and get married two years later.

Lu Luo felt a little embarrassed, and was even more afraid that if he spoke out, he would not get his father's support and would be stopped. It would be better not to say anything.

Lu Haoyang noticed the confusion of his youngest son, which was so rare that he couldn't help but look at his eldest son, hoping that he would continue to help him solve his doubts.

Lu Sen lived up to his father's expectations and immediately said, "Meng..."

"Miss Meng!" Lu Luo stood up and answered. His father would know anyway, so he might as well say it.

After saying that, he stared at Lu Haoyang, waiting for Lu Haoyang to nod or shake his head, feeling uneasy.

Seeing his youngest son like this, Lu Haoyang, while waiting for Lu Luo, picked up the tea bowl that the servant had just brewed and took a sip of the fragrant tea. He slowly said, "The Meng Mansion is not bad."

Lu Luo breathed a sigh of relief and said happily, "Father also thinks Miss Meng is good, so father will definitely agree to let his son marry Miss Meng!"

"What's the point of my agreement?" Lu Haoyang's wise eyes slightly curved, listening to the innocent words of his youngest son, he looked back at his eldest son, "Da Lang, you say."

Lu Sen looked at his younger brother who was stunned by his father's question, and sighed, "Father, no matter whether Miss Meng thinks highly of our A'Luo or not, Your Highness has been at odds with the Crown Prince for a long time, and now Miss Meng and her have attacked Your Highness. I really can't imagine how cruel she is... Who of the Meng family's ancestors did Miss Meng inherit this temper from?"

"Indeed." Lu Haoyang agreed with his eldest son. "Although Meng Tianguan's methods are also thunderous, they are mostly moderate. Meng Shilang is also restrained, but he is also mostly steady. The second master of the Meng Mansion... let's not talk about him. As for the mistresses of the Meng Mansion, including the married ladies, none of them is as fierce and ferocious as Miss Meng."

In the eyes of this great scholar, Meng Zhinian was not even worth mentioning.
