Chapter 1032 Brainstorming
As Haitang expected, after Qiao Fu arrived at Fang's residence with a team of Jinyiwei, the crisis was resolved at a faster speed.

Originally, Ma relied on her imperial status and her powerful verbal skills to intimidate the Hai clan members, so that they dared not act rashly. When the Jinyiwei appeared, how could they dare to say anything more? When the Jiang family fell, the Jinyiwei also appeared in Jianghai Village. They had witnessed with their own eyes how those Jiang family children who used to be so arrogant were beaten to the ground and insulted by the Jinyiwei. They were as miserable as dogs that had lost their homes.

The Jiang family was so arrogant before, and the Hai family had no power to resist them, and had to be humble and servile. Now seeing the Jinyiwei who could make the Jiang family humble and servile, they couldn't even think of resisting at all. When they knew that one of the Jinyiwei was Fang's son-in-law and Hai Baozhu's fiancé, they were even more frightened.

A small incident occurred during this period.

When Hai Baozhu saw Qiao Fu, he recognized him as the caravan guard who had escorted Fang and Hai Baozhu to Beijing, and wondered why he suddenly became a Jinyiwei. The young man was not very thoughtful, and seeing that the elders in the clan no longer made things difficult for him and his son, he lost his caution and asked on the spot. However, Qiao Fu reacted quickly and calmly said that he was originally a Jinyiwei. He had previously gone to Yongping Prefecture to carry out a secret mission. In order to conceal his identity and return to the capital to report, he disguised himself as a caravan guard and could also protect Fang and her daughter. This was his fate with Hai Baozhu. If it weren't for the opportunity to travel together these few days, they would never have become husband and wife.

Hai Baozhu suddenly understood what was going on and did not ask any more questions. The Jinyiwei did not have a very good reputation among the scholars. He had heard many criticisms of the Jinyiwei from his classmates and friends of his teachers. However, he knew that his second cousin was appointed to the Jinyiwei after he passed the military imperial examination, and this cousin had done a great favor to his family, so he naturally would not say anything bad about the Jinyiwei, and therefore he would not be dissatisfied with his brother-in-law's profession.

But among the people present, there were also members of the Hai clan. Although most of them had lived in Jianghaitun for a long time and had little knowledge, there were two old students who had gone out to study and had seen some of the world in Yongping Prefecture. It was only because of their cowardly nature or out of consideration for their own interests that they followed the crowd to the capital to find trouble with Fang's mother and daughter. After hearing the conversation between Hai Baozhu and Qiao Fu, they quickly filled in their minds.

What secret mission did Jinyiwei go to Yongping Mansion to carry out? It seems that the only major case there is the Shanhaiwei case, and the Jiang family was implicated and fell.

If the Jinyiwei went to Yongping Prefecture because of the Jiang family case, why did they "take the opportunity" to protect Fang, the abandoned woman of the Jiang family, on their way back to Beijing?

The Jiang family fell into decline very quickly. All the properties, all the problematic accounts, and the hidden family members and personnel under their name seemed to be quickly grasped by the government, and none of them escaped. In the past, the Hai family members only thought that the new commander of the Shanhai Guard was very powerful, but if the Jinyi Guard had contact with Fang, could it be that Fang had revealed the secrets of the Jiang family? Even if she was not welcomed in the Jiang family, she had been the mistress of the Jiang family for many years, in charge of the household affairs, and many things could not be hidden from her...

If Fang had contributed to the downfall of the Jiang family, then she "just happened" to divorce and leave before the Jiang family got into trouble. It was not good luck, but intentional and well prepared. If Fang had provided evidence of the Jiang family's crimes to the government, then she might not have married into the Jiang family for wealth and stability. She might have also intended to lurk in the Jiang family and collect evidence of crimes, right? No wonder she could always endure the contempt of the Jiang family and the provocations of the eldest son of the Jiang family. The reason why she had never been able to stop the Jiang family from continuing to encroach on the Hai family's property and exclude the Hai family members was also very clear, that is, before the great revenge was avenged, she could not alert the Jiang family and arouse the Jiang family's vigilance. As for the losses suffered by the Hai family in those years... Anyway, what was lost will be returned sooner or later, and the gains and losses of the moment are nothing. Saving people is the most important thing.

The more the two old students imagined, the more they thought about it. Soon they began to think that Fang would marry a second time in order to avenge the Hai family and eradicate the Jiang family, their enemy! If the Jiang family did not fall, even if they would not track down the whereabouts of the eldest son of the Hai family for a while, they would sooner or later take action against Hai Baozhu. By then, the Hai family would really be extinct! Fang decided to commit herself to Young Master Jiang and collect evidence on the Jiang family in order to eliminate future troubles. As the saying goes, you can't get a tiger cub without risking it? She finally waited for the new commander of the Shanhai Guard to take office, and then quickly handed over the evidence of the Jiang family's crimes, and then divorced and got away!
Fang had done her best for the eldest branch of the Hai family. She endured the embarrassment of the Hai family silently, probably because she remembered the kindness of the Hai family and didn't want to argue with a group of old fools. The family knew nothing, and they still blamed the great hero who killed the enemy. It was really wrong!

Think about the accusations made by the elders in the clan against Fang, they are all groundless slanders. Fang not only readily returned the power of the eldest house to Hai Baozhu, the only heir of the eldest house, but also did not take away the most valuable treasure of the eldest house. Even when Hai Baozhu offered the pearl to her with both hands, she did not keep it. Isn't this noble enough?

Now the Second Branch is powerful and clearly on Fang's side, and Fang did not ask them to help her retaliate against her clan members, which is enough to be considerate and consider the overall situation. On the contrary, those in the clan who relied on their age and seniority to accuse her were not right.

The two old students also knew that the old brothers actually wanted to subdue the new head of the eldest house, Hai Baozhu, and make him obey the arrangements of the elders, so they were giving orders on matters such as Fang's and antique bottles. The two felt that Hai Baozhu was young and ignorant, and it was not a bad thing for him to listen to the teachings of the elders. But now the words of Ma, the imperial edict of the second house, also made sense. The elders had lived in Jianghaitun for many years, and their knowledge was shallow and not smart. How could they have the face to think that they could teach Hai Baozhu, who had already won the title of scholar at a young age? Even if they asked themselves that they had seen the vast world outside, they would not dare to say that their intelligence and knowledge could surpass Hai Baozhu. Those old brothers who had not read as much as them also had the nerve to want to control the new head of the eldest house? !

After thinking it over, the two old students quickly changed sides and supported the first and second branches, accusing the brothers who came to Beijing with them of selfishness and ruining the family's future. As a result, the Hai family split into two camps. Hai Baozhu, under the suggestion of his stepmother Fang, won over the two old students who had changed sides. The remaining elders faced the moral suppression of the fifth-rank imperial edict Ma, the power threat of the Jinyiwei, and the backstabs of their brothers, and they could no longer make a difference.

They left Fang's residence in disgrace, and only two old students stayed behind. They were regarded as representatives of the clan elders by both the eldest and second houses, and both sides sat down to discuss business.

Although Qiao Fu quickly said goodbye to his colleagues and left to continue his work, their influence was still there and the old students had no intention of changing their minds. They quickly agreed to various conditions proposed by Ma and also obtained the qualification to visit the head of the second branch, Hai Xiya.

By the time the sisters Haitang and Hai Baozhu received the news from Wang Xiaoqing again at home, the turmoil caused by the Hai family members coming to their house to provoke trouble had disappeared without a trace.
