After the marriage, the cousin was spoiled by the whole family of the Marquis's Mansion

Chapter 50 The Secret of the Destruction of the Previous Life
Xie Shuning suppressed the excitement in her heart. She finally understood why the Xinling Marquis Mansion was destroyed in the previous life.

That little brat Lin Songxue in the mansion has become more and more bold recently.

In addition to reciting her sour poems in front of the window every day, she now even deliberately gets drunk and walks into the wrong room.

If her maid Yuzhu hadn't discovered it, she would have succeeded.

She wanted to teach this little bitch a lesson, so she planned to find some idle men to ruin her reputation first to see if she could still make trouble in the mansion.

As a result, she heard some incredible words in the alleys of North City.

In his previous life, Ji Yunzhang had offended someone and was punished by His Majesty. After he had finally recovered, he stood up for Jin Shaojie again and was thrown into prison. Only after Marquis Ji was stripped of his military power was Ji Yunzhang able to return home.

In this life, although the Pingchang Earl's family suffered some setbacks and her father was also implicated, Jin Shaojie was not only safe and sound, but the Jin family was also conferred the title of Duke, and Ji Yunzhang was also not affected.

But these things will not affect Marquis Ji's trajectory, because no matter in the previous life or this life, Marquis Ji's power is the same. Your Majesty is afraid and wants to take back the military power.

Even without Ji Yunzhang as an excuse, it would not stop His Majesty's determination to take back military power.

Ji Hou is a person with extremely high prestige in the army. After losing his military power, he will face the same fate as in his previous life.

Xie Shuning clenched his fists tightly. Now was a great opportunity. He didn't have to wait for several years for the young prince to come to power before he could have a chance to shine.

She wanted Kang Jintang to come up with an excuse that His Majesty would like.

If Kang Jintang wrote an article and spread it in Yanjing, criticizing Ji Hou's power and pushing this matter forward, Kang Jintang would be able to go directly from a small Yuanwailang to the presence of His Majesty.

If he is a favorite of His Majesty now, when the little prince ascends to the throne in the future, he will be able to help the little prince rise to the top.

Not to mention being the head of all officials, even being granted a title of nobility, prime minister, or a king of a different surname is not beyond one's reach.

Think about this.

Xie Shuning didn't bother to find anyone to cause trouble for Lin Songxue, and climbed onto the green-shed carriage using his hands and feet.

She said to Yuzhu on the shaft of the cart in a trembling voice, "Quick, hurry back home!"

Lord Ji has not arrived in Beijing yet, so she has to hurry up and grab this fleeting opportunity!

After the woman in the alley hurried away, the window on the second floor opened, revealing a face wearing a silver mask and a ferocious-looking young man beside him.

The young man said after the people walked away, "Mr. Mu, does this trick work? His Highness can't wait any longer."

Without waiting for Muchun's response, he continued, "A few days ago, the young master and young lady of the Pingchang Earl's family lost all their face. Not only did they fail to save Liu Qiwei's life, but they also promoted the Jin family to the position of Duke."

Mu Chun put his hands behind his back, his face indifferent, "I have already told the second young master that as long as he stays here peacefully, the imperial concubine will take care of everything in the palace."

"If the Pyeongchang Earl's family was not still of some use, why would I bother doing these things?"

"But they are unlucky. If no one had pointed them out, the Jin family would have scolded them severely. They only need to endure the scolding for two or three days, and Mr. Liu San will naturally return home safely."

Mu Chun returned to the table and sat down, pouring himself a glass of wine. "Kang Jintang is the new top scholar, a talented person, but he married a wife who is eager for quick success. She would definitely grab this good opportunity to be in front of the emperor."

As he spoke, he glanced at the people in front of the window again, "As long as you don't act on your own, the manifesto written by Kang Zhuangyuan will naturally be a useful knife."

Finally, he added, "The group of people who are investigating the old case of the Zhong family have now been completely linked to Prince Qing. It doesn't matter who they are. We just need to watch them show up and fight each other." "Your Highness has been planning for several years. Now is the critical moment. If you only want to find some minor details from me, you should report back to Your Highness as soon as possible and change your superior."

The young man gritted his teeth unwillingly. He had followed His Highness for decades, but Muchun had only been here for more than two years and he quickly became His Highness's right-hand man, and even his superior, so he had to obey him.

Mu Chun raised his head and drank a glass of wine without waiting for his answer. "Keep an eye on the Kang family's movements. When you leave, avoid people and don't let the people in Prince Qing's Mansion see you."

"……Yes."

After a while, he lowered his head. When he left, his footsteps were very light and he quickly disappeared into the crowd. In a blink of an eye, he could no longer be seen from the window.

On the second floor of a teahouse across the street, behind a half-closed window, Ji Yunzhang and Wei Chi were leaning against the window drinking tea.

From here you can just see inside half of the window opposite.

Ji Yunzhang turned the empty teacup upside down on the windowsill and asked, "Do you have any impression of that person?"

Wei Chi shook his head, "Never seen it."

"Mu Chun is a very alert person. I have lost him several times. If it weren't for today's coincidence, I would have found it difficult to find his whereabouts."

Ji Yunzhang frowned. Mu Chun was an aide to Prince Qing's palace. Why did he meet someone in this place? "Mu Chun deliberately avoided Prince Qing?"

"Didn't Prince Qing order Mr. Qin to be killed?"

Wei Chi shook his head, "I don't know."

Ji Yunzhang picked up the teacup from the windowsill and held it in his palm. "Mu Chun was weak and had poison on him. How did his handkerchief appear on the boat where Jiang Xin was killed?"

"In the past two years, everything we investigated pointed to Prince Qing, and it seemed to be going surprisingly smoothly. Is Mu Chun being so blatant? Is he being too deliberate?"

Once doubts arose in his mind, he put all the past events together and it seemed as if someone was deliberately guiding him in a certain direction.

Ji Yunzhang stared at the window opposite, his eyes flickering slightly. After a while, he said, "Let Gou'er pay attention to Muchun. I want to see how many faces Muchun has."

"Yes." Wei Chi took out an envelope from his arms, "There is one more thing. The Marquis has sent a letter. It was sent by Manager Zheng from Yanhui Mansion."

"Yan Huifu?" Ji Yunzhang took the letter. There was a circle around the signature on the envelope. This was the signature for the letter addressed to him.

Yanhui Prefecture is the city closest to the border. Zheng, the manager of the grain shop, followed Ji Hou in the war in his early years. After he broke one of his hands, he was arranged by Ji Hou to be the manager of the grain shop in Yanhui Prefecture.

There was money from the grain shop on the outside of the envelope. After it was torn open, there was a letter inside. This was the handwriting of Ji Hou.

Ji Yunzhang opened the letter and read ten lines at a glance. After finishing reading, he immediately took out a tinder and burned it clean.

"Father said that the emperor's secret order has reached the border, and he has already set out to return to the capital. All military power will be temporarily taken over by Deputy General Liu Qirui."

Wei Chi frowned, "Your Majesty summoned the Marquis back to the capital?"

Ji Yunzhang put away the fire stick slowly and said, "Father also intercepted a secret letter from the Western Jin Dynasty. The princess of the Western Jin Dynasty has been eating our food for so long, and it finally has some effect."

Finally, he glanced at the window opposite and said in a low voice, "Someone still can't keep his cool."
