Don’t be too poisonous to the concubine of the Wu family who was born in Wu

Chapter 956 615. Situ’s Land (Situ’s Mansion plays an important role in the wealthy family)
  Three days later, Wu Xuanyue was invited by Marquis Shangguan to visit Situ's house.

The Dragon King and the Bird Emperor have high positions in the Situ Mansion. In the history of the history, has the Situ Mansion ever had such honor and favor? Of course, you have to prepare carefully.

From the moment they received the imperial edict, everyone in Situ's house was busy and busy without stopping. Situ Xun (Situ Lan's father) thought deeply and understood the seriousness of the situation.

As the head of the Situ family, Situ Lan didn't seem too concerned about such matters, thinking that arranging a few more exciting dramas to entertain the guests would be enough.

And how could things be as simple as Situ Lan imagined?

As the head of the old family, Situ Xun is not as big-hearted as this Situ Lan. The old head of the family, Situ Xun, has been involved in the officialdom for so many years. He knows that this is a serious matter. Today, great honor comes to his family, Situ Mansion. Although it is a good thing, it is a waste of time. Things were done decently and properly, but if something went wrong, it would be a disaster for the entire family, and no one in the Situ family could be involved.

As the saying goes, accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger. No one can understand the thoughts of Marquis Shangguan.

Situ Xun thought that his eldest son, who had served Marquis Shangguan for so many years, would be able to figure out Marquis Shangguan's thoughts. But what happened? Even though his eldest son, his unworthy eldest son, had been with Marquis Shangguan for many years, his moral character had not improved at all.

Situ Xun regretted that his three smart sons, especially his third son, were all his own sons. These three sons followed the Situ princes, and compared with his unsatisfactory eldest brother, he didn't know how smart he was!
  It’s just...what a pity——

Following the wrong master, the outcome was good. One of the three sons he was most optimistic about was beheaded, one was imprisoned, and the other was exiled.

Situ Xun's head turned gray overnight. Although he had been planning for a long time, he originally thought that his three sons would support the Shangguan princes to rise to power, so that the Situ family would be able to rise rapidly in the future and the whole family would be honored, but he ended up like this.

If it weren't for the fact that his eldest son had been following Marquis Shangguan, Marquis Shangguan had done meritorious service as a bodyguard at his age, so he would have been able to spare the Situ Mansion.

Otherwise, based on the fact that his other three sons served the Shangguan princes in those years, the Situ Mansion has already been implicated.

So it is said that God's calculation is not as good as that of man. After all, it doesn't matter how long you plan and how thorough your calculation is? I can't hold back God's will.

Marquis Shangguan ascended to the throne of the Ninth Five-Year Plan, promoted some people, punished some people, and dismissed some people.

Situ Xun knew that the actions of his three sons had offended Marquis Shangguan, and that his title was not guaranteed. If he continued to hold on, there would only be one result -

Situ Lan established a new family, and the rest of Situ's family was implicated. When the time comes, even he, the veteran head of the family, will end up...

Thinking of this, Situ Xun was so scheming that before Marquis Shangguan had time to take care of him, he came to his door in person, took the initiative to resign, gave up his title, and only wanted to be a prince who took care of himself. All matters, big and small, will be left to Situ Lan, the eldest son.

The Marquis of Shangguan is worried about how to deal with this old thief Situ Xun. He is accustomed to taking out insurance and betting. Several of his sons are hanging around the Shangguan family's children. No matter which son of the Marquis of Shangguan's family comes to power, his Situ Mansion will undoubtedly be safe. Such a shrewd and calculating old fox is really unpleasant sometimes.

This man is too smart and sophisticated, and lacks a sense of loyalty. In this regard, Situ Xun is not as comfortable as Dongfang Ming.

Although Dongfang Ming is a bit more upright, and he completely sided with the Shangguan princes in the battle for the throne, it at least proves that Dongfang Ming is a man with a magnanimous heart and a clear stance. For such people, Marquis Shangguan will punish them severely on the surface. After all, it is a matter of his own face and position that cannot be taken carelessly. However, privately, Marquis Shangguan still admires Dongfang Ming's character in his heart.

Besides, Dongfang Ming's wife is his aunt. No matter how severe the punishment is, she is still part of his family, so how severe can he be punished? Shouldn't you show it to outsiders?

For a cunning and worldly traitor like Situ Lan, Marquis Shangguan smiled on the surface and treated him with courtesy, but in his heart he had already made up his mind about Dongfang Ming.

Situ Xun is so smart and sensitive, so he naturally understands that Marquis Shangguan only treats him with a face and a heart. The more harmonious he is in the officialdom, the more he smiles and the more he is polite.

Situ Xun was smart, so his resignation made it impossible for Marquis Shangguan to carry out the punishment against the Situ family.

Marquis Shangguan wouldn't ask a lot from an old minister who has resigned, right?
  The so-called mercy should be given to others, not to mention that Situ Xun is also a veteran of the previous dynasty and a well-known prime minister in a powerful family. How can you punish him severely?
  Marquis Shangguan agreed to Situ Xun's request and instead of letting Situ Lan set up another family, he directly granted a title to Situ's family.

However, Marquis Shangguan was still young and no more cunning than Situ Xun.

Although Situ Xun was retreating on the surface, he was actually retreating as an advance, pushing himself from the front of the stage to the back of the crowd.

Whoever meets someone doesn't know that Situ Lan doesn't do his job properly, doesn't like interpersonal relationships, and doesn't want to get involved too much in government affairs. So what if Situ Lan is made a lord? It's just a decoration. If this game goes well, Situ Xun will be more comfortable in Situ's mansion.

Sure enough, Situ Xun's plan was good. The Situ Mansion has always mastered military intelligence, and the intelligence exchanges between countries are all handled by the Situ Mansion. But now that the Situ Mansion is solid, Situ Lan is free. On the table, the position of a vacant lord is hung, which is like the ears of a deaf person. It is purely for decoration.

Whenever Marquis Shangguan asked Situ Lan to send information, Situ Lan was either vague or perfunctory in reporting safety. This situation made Marquis Shangguan even more uneasy.

One month after Marquis Shangguan ascended the throne, the other three kingdoms were peaceful. How could this be possible? There is only one possibility, that is, Situ Lan has no real power in the Situ Mansion and has been ignored by others, and is still living happily on the stage.

Thinking of this, Marquis Shangguan was so angry that he was furious. What on earth was he supporting?
  When Marquis Shangguan thought of Situ Lan, he frowned and couldn't say more than three sentences, but his anger was pent-up and unable to break out.

He made Situ Lan a lord in order to better monitor the other three countries, but what about now?

Wu Mingdao had served Marquis Shangguan for a long time, so he naturally understood Marquis Shangguan's thoughts, but Situ Lan had neglected his duties and lost his priorities.

But then again, when Marquis Shangguan fell in love with Situ Lan, it was because his relationship with the Situ family was not very deep. He only loved drama and ignored what was going on outside the window.

But now, Situ Lan still hasn't changed, the situation has changed, the relationship has changed, and Marquis Shangguan is tired of all the behaviors of his former Situ Lan...
