Chapter 225: Turning against guests
The dark-faced man seemed to have broadened his horizons in the capital, and he laughed when he heard the old man's sigh.

"It's said that you've lived in the countryside for so long that you don't understand what's going on day by day." He pointed at his coarse clothes. "You can see that the eldest son is wearing a purple robe. Doesn't this mean that the prince has already recognized him as the crown prince and the future king of Shuodi?"

"Oh! Don't you dare say anything nonsense!" White Beard was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly stopped the black-faced man from talking nonsense, fearing that he would accidentally cause trouble and implicate himself. "How dare we ordinary people talk nonsense about the affairs of the prince's family!
The one who is bringing people here to work now is the Second Young Master. You keep saying that the First Young Master will become the Crown Prince in the future. What if this gets to the Second Young Master's ears?

I think this second young master is a very good person.

We have been working here these days, and the accommodation and food are good. We have been provided with full meals every day. Although we have not seen the Second Young Master himself, he has given us orders and has no intention of treating us harshly!
No matter who becomes the Crown Prince in the future, I think we will all have a good life..."

As White Beard spoke, he kept glancing into the distance. It was unclear whether he really felt that way, or was afraid that the black-faced man's words might be heard by the Second Young Master's men and they would come back to cause trouble for them.

The dark-faced man curled his lips and said, "I didn't say that the Second Young Master was bad. We have been treated so well these past few days, and I can see that the Second Young Master is a kind-hearted person.

But whether he can become the crown prince or not is not something that can be decided just by his kindness!

Everyone in the capital knows that the most powerful family in our Shuodi is the Pang family. If the Pang family stomps their feet, the entire Shuodi will shake!

Even though the second young master is quite good, he is not in the eyes of his in-laws. The Pang family has been supporting the eldest young master from the beginning to the end. Otherwise, how do you think so many good and lucrative jobs would fall on the eldest young master's head!

Let’s put it this way, the sons of the prince’s family, while not all outstanding, are almost there. However, who will be the new master of our Shuo land in the future depends on who the Pang family is willing to support.”

Zhu Yu raised his eyes and looked at the black-faced man again.

What he said was much more serious than what the old man said just now about Zhu Jie wearing a purple robe.

If Zhu Jie's behavior of wearing a purple robe was considered an act of usurpation, then what the black-faced man said now was much more excessive than that.

He kept saying, "Who will be the king of Shuodi in the future depends on who the Pang family supports." This is equivalent to saying that the Pang family is the real decision-maker in Shuodi, and Zhu Cheng is just a puppet and an empty shell.

But the strange thing is that after such outrageous words were spoken, the people around him were not nervous at all, but did not have any extra reaction.

So... in the eyes of the people of Shuo, it is a cautious consideration not to exaggerate the young master in front of the second young master. However, who will be the future king of Shuo depends on the opinion of the Pang family. They have already tacitly accepted this as a fact.

Zhu Yu was a little frightened and even a little annoyed.

She had never had the opportunity to go outside and learn about these things in the past. She only knew that the Pang family was taking advantage of the situation in the mansion, but she didn't expect that it had developed to the point where they had become the hosts.

But his father was still ignorant and obsessed with creating some peerless weapon.

Perhaps Zhu Cheng didn't mind who the Pang family supported. After all, all of his sons were born to Pang Yuzhen, and no matter who the Pang family supported, it would still maintain the friendship between the two families for generations. And no matter which of his sons had the support of the Pang family, they wouldn't have to worry about being weak and unable to control everything when they took over. However, he didn't realize that after the Pang family grew so powerful, they still wanted to stand behind King Shuo.

Thinking about it, she couldn't help but feel secretly fortunate in her heart. It was thanks to those privately made weapons that were suspected to have flowed out from the Shuo Kingdom that Lu Qing felt it necessary to come to Shuo to find out the truth. Otherwise, if the situation was allowed to develop in this way, whether the king of Shuo would still be surnamed Zhu in the future would not be the most terrible consequence.

The most terrifying thing is that if the Pang family is blinded by ambition and does something stupid, the Zhu family will have to take the blame and the whole family will be killed.

If someone with ulterior motives stirs up trouble in the dark and involves Lu Qing, everything will be ruined.

While Zhu Yu was wondering in his heart, the old men did not stop chatting.

"The Pang family is so optimistic about the eldest son, so this must mean that he has more outstanding qualities than the second son?" The red-faced man asked the black-faced man curiously, "You came back from the capital to make a living, so you must be more knowledgeable than us. Tell us about it?"

"I can't really say anything..." When asked the question, the dark-faced man who was talking freely just now became a little embarrassed and grinned, "I was just a helper in my relative's house at that time. It's not my place to ask about any big things.

What's more, this noble man does things differently from us.

When the eldest young master is in the capital, he is always surrounded by people whenever he goes in and out. He is very stylish.

But no matter what Zhen Zhanger said he wanted to do, the people who actually took action were all from the Pang family.

How could such a noble person do everything by himself? Of course he would give orders to his subordinates to do it!

Anyway, the Pang family is so powerful, they all think that the eldest son can do it, so the eldest son must be able to do it!"

What he said seemed reasonable to others. It would be strange if anyone among those picking up stones here could keep criticizing the two sons of King Shuo and speak in a coherent manner.

"But speaking of it, the Pang family is really powerful." The red-faced man saw that the black-faced man had nothing to say. After thinking about it, he always felt that he seemed to have been suppressed during the chat just now, and he was not happy. Now he racked his brains for a long time and finally remembered something that could be used as a topic of conversation. "I used to work in the largest butcher shop in our town.

One day, our boss asked us to deliver goods to the Pang family's villa in town. He said that the Pang family suddenly came to the villa, which had not been visited for several years, and brought a few distinguished guests with them. They said they wanted to hold a big banquet in the villa and asked us to deliver more good meat.

The boss asked us to drive the cart and deliver the wild game and delicacies he had specially collected, which were rare things that were not seen in daily life, to the Pang family villa.

At that time, I thought that the Pang family must be entertaining the prince or someone from the prince's family, and I thought I could take the opportunity to meet an important person. However, when we arrived at the kitchen, we were stopped and told to put the things in the backyard and leave.

I heard the people in the kitchen talking and they said that their host was entertaining distinguished guests from Lan Country."
