Red Mansion and Crimson Pearl

Chapter 325 The Little Eyes of Relatives

Seeing that there was no one else around, Grandmother Jia took Daiyu in her arms and whispered:

"I asked Yuanyang last night and learned that the Songjiang Sansuobu horse was in trouble.

"Today, your eldest uncle and second uncle were planning to go to the Xue family to question them, but I stopped them."

Daiyu pondered for a moment before asking, "Actually, it's reasonable to ask. How did grandma stop you?"

"Although Prince Zhongshun has not married a wife and has been fond of indulging in opera singers over the years, he still has two illegitimate sons.

"When I was staying at your hot spring manor, Baochai came to see me with Baoqin and told me a little:

"Prince Zhongshun actually took a fancy to her and wanted to ask for the title of Crown Prince for his eldest son from a concubine, and then let Baochai be the Crown Prince's Consort." Grandmother Jia smiled faintly.

Daiyu was shocked: "Prince Zhongshun has had a lot of disagreements with the King of the North in recent years, and most of the four kings and eight dukes have had grudges against him.

"If the Xue family really wants to marry into this family, does that mean they want to turn against our family?"

Grandmother Jia sneered, "Ms. Xue herself said that the so-called old hatreds in this world are all caused by the later generations' unwillingness to let go.

"In fact, it's just the grudge between the Northern King and the Zhongshun King of the previous generation. Why would it implicate her Xue family?"

"So, she has already agreed? Aunt Xue and Xue Pan didn't say anything. Her biological uncle Wang Ziteng..."

Daiyu paused when she reached this point.

Grandmother Jia looked at her and asked, "What do you think of?"

Daiyu narrowed her eyes and raised her head to think carefully. After a while, she whispered, "The Northern King was assassinated. I asked his chief secretary Liao.

"He mentioned to me quietly that among the people escorting the Northern King to the capital, there was also a small group of Liangjiang guards. When those assassins faced the guards, he was dazzled and couldn't tell who was who except by their clothes."

Grandmother Jia followed and thought about it.

Daiyu leaned over and asked Jia's mother in a low voice: "Do you think that it is because this assassin is also a guard, and the moves in the army are similar, so Liao Changshi, a scholar who does not know kung fu, can't tell them apart?"

Grandmother Jia was startled and instantly understood Daiyu's hint. Her face changed drastically and she grabbed her hand: "Are you saying that the assassin who assassinated the King of the North was sent by Wang Ziteng?"

"How did grandma find out that Wang Ziteng had taken refuge with Prince Yu?"

"The Wang family can form alliances with us, so why can't I take advantage of the situation to drive a few nails into their family? When relatives are on good terms, they work diligently, but when they turn against each other, they naturally have their own factions to use!"

When Grandmother Jia said this, there was even a hint of pride in her voice.

Daiyu felt that it was hard to put it into words. After thinking for a while, she said, "If what grandma said is true, then Wang Ziteng might have really surrendered to Prince Zhongshun at the instruction of Prince Yu!"

Grandmother Jia was stunned: "Why is this?"

Daiyu said, "Wang Ziteng has fallen out with our family because of his second aunt, so the boat of the four princes and eight dukes is naturally not very stable.

"The one who would be most willing to accept his change of heart at this time must be the former mortal enemy of the Northern King: Prince Zhongshun.

"So he took advantage of the situation and fell over. King Zhongshun was so happy that he must have asked him for a token of allegiance.

"This time when His Majesty was looking for a prime minister, Prince Zhongshun confidently and openly recommended Jia Yucun, who was a close friend of Wang Ziteng. This is a clear example!

"Probably few people still remember that back in Suzhou, Prince Zhongshun and Jia had already colluded with each other and conspired to do something big!"

Jia's mother's heart suddenly tightened, she frowned and thought for a while, then blurted out: "What about Miaoyu's family?!"

Daiyu nodded slightly.

Sure enough, Yuanchun knew Miaoyu's identity and her family's injustice, and Grandmother Jia was also very clear about it.

I just don’t know how many people in the Jia family know about this.

Did the Wang family already know this?
