Chapter 150
"Perhaps what the emperor is suspicious of are those courtiers who have brains and schemes, such as Song Lian, but the king of Qin did the opposite, deliberately showing his reckless and conceited side, in order to let the emperor think that he is arrogant but has no brains. It’s not enough at all.”

Xue Lan savored these few words carefully, don't say anything, this is really the case.

Since ancient times, it has been easy for a courtier to buy one, and he expressed his feelings: "There is a suspicious emperor on the booth, and the courtiers have worked hard to protect themselves. It is a pity that Song Lian did not think of this at the time. Otherwise, the Duke's Mansion It will not be in the current predicament."

"It's hard to say whether I didn't expect it, or I wanted it but couldn't do anything about it, but the matter has come to this point, we still have to try our best to live a good life."

Xue Lanwan did not expect that the little girl who had always been held in his hands and cared for by him could not help but feel very relieved to say such words: "My baby has really grown up, you are right, life is your own What has come out, is at a trough, which means that we are going to go uphill in the future."

But there is still one thing unresolved, Xue Lan lowered her voice and said: "I forgot to tell you that Lin'er has been found and is alive and well, even if you want to come to the emperor, you don't want to do everything right away. It's just to threaten Xue Aokun."

Gu Qingyou was thinking about this matter, no matter what, the Xue family was also implicated by the Duke's Mansion, if Lin'er was really involved for this, there was no guarantee that Xue Aokun would not be angry with the Duke's Mansion because of this.

At any rate, they are Xue's blood relatives, and they don't want to have an affair with him unless it is absolutely necessary.

Hearing this, Gu Qingyou felt a little relieved, and subconsciously lowered her voice and said, "Even if I find it back, I'm probably quite frightened, what's going on with Xue Aokun?"

Xue Lan shook her head slightly: "Since they went back, their husband and wife have been very depressed, and their daughter has also separated from them. I'm afraid they will just hide from us in the future."

Although the ending was not something they could control, Xue Lan still couldn't bear it, thought over and over again, and made a decision that Song Chengye would probably be surprised to hear - to set Xue Lin'er upright.

After Xue Aokun left that day, Xue Lin'er seemed to be a completely different person. She used to run to the study when she had nothing to do, either pestering Song Chengye for this or that, or finding trouble with other concubines.

But now, except for three meals a day, Xue Lan hardly sees her face, and when she meets her occasionally, the arrogance and disdain before her eyes are gone, and instead she shrinks back and forth, like a mouse seeing a cat.

Even though Xue Lin'er was not a pleasant person, she was completely one of the victims in this matter. Xue Lan was clear about public and private affairs, and did not blame the matter on her.

What's more, after reconciling with Youyou, Song Chengye must have a regular wife, but as far as the current situation is concerned, there is no one who is willing to marry into the Duke's mansion.

And he doesn't like those from small families.

Xue Liner has a relationship with Song Chengye, and can even break up with her parents for him. As long as she can live a stable life, it is not a bad thing.

After all, she wanted to marry a daughter-in-law for herself, Xue Lan didn't want to deal with it. With this preliminary idea, she didn't tell Song Chengye immediately, but first came to discuss with her daughter.

"I'm afraid that she will be insecure for a few days and reveal her true colors. Then she won't be able to divorce her wife, right? Then it's really hard to marry a wife after becoming a career."

Xue Lan wasn't her real mother, but she had a reputation, so she had to think about him.

Gu Qingyou said: "Actually, feelings are metaphysics. Although Xue Liner doesn't treat us very well, she has sincere affection for Song Chengye. Isn't the reason why she has been bouncing around all this time because she failed to take the position of wife? Now If you can get what you want, you won’t be messing around again in the future, right?”

Xue Lan felt reasonable, nodded and said: "I hope so, but to be cautious, I'd better observe her for a while, and then ask Cheng Ye what he thinks."

The sound of the gong sounded at the second watch on the street, and Gu Qingyou stood up and stretched his arms and legs: "Well, actually, you can directly ask Song Chengye for his opinion on this matter, after all, you will spend the rest of your life with him, as long as he is willing, what do we think? unimportant."

As for the matter of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, if they get along, they get together more, and if they don't get along, they meet less. Anyway, the Duke's Mansion is so big, and each has its own courtyard. It's really impossible to live as neighbors.

Compared with the future of the Duke's Mansion, these are trivial matters. Anyway, they have decided to take advantage of this time to stay away from the political center and concentrate on making money.

Xue Lan made a plan. After helping to pay off the debts of Prince Qin's Mansion, and Song Chengye successfully accepted the title, she completely delegated power and moved out of the Duke's Mansion to live alone.

Firstly, he will not get involved with Song Chengye's affairs, and secondly, he will be able to get closer to his daughter.

"The matter of Chengye is easy to solve. Xue Lin'er can't do it, and Yang's is letting it go, but Hengye hasn't been settled yet. I can't just let it go."

Xue Lan had already got up and was about to leave, but when she thought of this, she sat down again and sighed: "Heng Ye has done so much for the Duke's Mansion, and now he is implicated, I'm afraid it will be difficult to say goodbye for a while, what should I do? .”

Gu Qingyou changed the herbal tea in her cup, and teased: "Aren't you determined to let your daughter marry him? Now that your daughter is divorced, why don't you mention it?"

Xue Lan gave her a white look: "Damn girl, don't be so angry with me. Now that the Duke's Mansion has changed from a sweet pastry to a big fire pit, if I mix you in again, won't I harm you?"

She took a sip of tea from the cup, looked at her daughter's expression, and warned worriedly: "Don't blame mom for not reminding you, Hengye is good, but who made him Song Lian's adopted son? Why do you think the emperor is the son of Song Lian after Song Lian's death?" I'm still afraid, but it's not because Hengye is too good, like Song Lian when he was young."

In the past few years, although the emperor had doubts, he also knew that the Great Jin would not be able to do without Song Lian, so he did not act for a long time. Now that Song Lian died with great difficulty, he would never sit back and watch another Song Lian rise!
Although Gu Qingyou didn't have any thoughts about Song Hengye, but after hearing what his mother said, he still couldn't help but feel wronged for him: "You said what happened to these emperors in ancient times? They were anxious when there were no people available in the country, and talents came out in large numbers. Afraid, how can I feel at ease?"

Is this like falling in love, you no longer cherish what you have?
"But Mom, although I don't have any thoughts about him, isn't your attitude changing a bit quickly?"

Just~ how should I put it, it seems a bit heartless...

Xue Lan glanced at her: "Who am I doing this for? No matter how good Hengye is, you are my own. When something happens, I must first ensure that your interests are maximized. This is human nature!"

"Okay, okay, I know mom is the best~"

Gu Qingyou hurriedly squeezed her shoulders to make amends, and said unintentionally: "Oh, actually, I think Princess Changle is quite suitable for him, it's a pity."
