There was a thief in the east courtyard, and Grandma Lu decided that it was Xiao Yang who was behind the scenes. The purpose was to use the excuse of neglect of duty and ineffective control so that the successor king Li Dai could drive them all out of the Sui Palace, all the loyal servants of the Chen family. Then they

There was no way to stop Xiao Yang from seizing Chen's dowry wealth.

Although Mammy Lu promptly prevented the bribed maid from the east courtyard from taking away Chen's belongings and personal belongings, and sent them to Princess Dou for disposal, she still had a string of tension in her mind.

, I am afraid that when this matter will be spread to Li Dai's ears, the latter will still find reasons to drive them away under Xiao Yang's slander. By then, the young lady Li Lijun will be isolated and helpless in the Sui Palace.

?

Out of such considerations, Grandma Lu was very unwilling to make this matter a big deal, and only hoped that Princess Dou would quietly deal with the maids who had become thieves. Grandma Cui accepted the old sisters' ideas and listened to Li Lijun.

Regarding the speculation that Xiao Yang stole Chen's personal belongings to smear her name, she became even more reluctant to let outsiders know about the messy entanglement here. Even if Chen is innocent, she can't withstand the gossip of those who are interested!

However, Li Lijun has a different view.

Since this matter was caused by Xiao Yang, how could she keep the secret for them as Chen's nuns wanted? At the moment, something happened to Li Yanjun suddenly, and she was busy dealing with the aftermath and saving her daughter.

He didn't bother to fill up the hole he dug in the east courtyard. When he was free one day, he only needed to gossip a few words in front of Li Dai, and the latter would immediately bring trouble on the two nuns Cui and Lu.

Since this landmine will explode sooner or later, it is better for Li Lijun to detonate it herself, so that she can still take the initiative.

Li Lijun felt that this matter was not as serious as Cui and Lu's two nuns thought. The thief in the east courtyard was ultimately caused by Xiao Yang. If they had no real evidence, they would just go to the gossip. As long as the Sui Palace

The people who really hold the power here believe their gossip, what can Xiao Yang do?

Therefore, Li Lijun signaled Grandma Cui to instruct her people. After being bribed by others outside the mourning hall today and "leaking" some internal information, next time someone comes to inquire, they can pretend to be reluctant to say more.

Claiming that "the nuns have heard some rumors, we are not allowed to tell outsiders about the things above." Of course, if the other party asks a few more questions, they will still "can't help but be persuaded" or "carelessly can't control it."

"My own mouth", once again leaked the news.

What they were saying this time was that as soon as the Fourth Lady, Li Lijun, was injured, the two nuns were tied up by Xiao Yang’s confidant wet nurse and several men from the Chen family, and were locked in a room to force them to hand over the Chen family.

The property left behind was transferred to the name of Xiao Yang's brother Yang Shuo. Xiao Yang's confidant wet nurse claimed that if they did not comply, they would all be kicked out of the Sui Palace. It was Princess Dou who noticed that there was something wrong.

Unexpectedly, she sent someone to rescue them. Princess Dou also sent the husbands of the Chen family to court, and imprisoned Xiao Yang's wet nurse, waiting for disposal.

Although the two nuns were saved, Xiao Yang refused to give up. She ordered someone to bribe the maid in the east courtyard and secretly stole the land deed, documents and other items from Chen's dowry, but Nanny Lu broke them again.

Aunt Lu sent the people to Princess Dou overnight to deal with them, and she became more and more strict with her subordinates. Therefore, the subordinates no longer dared to contact outsiders easily to avoid being misunderstood by the superiors that they were traitors.

If anyone wants to verify these things, two nuns Cui and Lu were trapped on the day Li Lijun was injured, and Princess Dou sent the Chen family to the official, and three of the little Yang family's wet nurses, Aunt Ma, grandson and grandson were detained by Princess Dou, and Lu

Mammy caught the thief all night, and then sent the thief to Princess Dou... These are all obvious facts, which just prove that the servants' words are true.

It's just that there is a slight discrepancy in the time sequence.

Most people would not pay too much attention to this discrepancy. But the words of the servants and wives fell into the eyes of those who did not know the inside story. Xiao Yang was an ambitious man who took advantage of Li Lijun's injury and weakness and attempted to seize the pregnancies of his late mistress.

The Chen family's dowry now belongs to Li Lijun. Li Lijun is still young and is far from getting married, so this wealth belongs to the Sui Palace whether it is managed by his biological father Li Dai or by his biological grandfather King Sui.

Things and wealth should not flow to outsiders. Unless Li Lijun dies, the Chen family can get this property back.

If the young Yang family seizes the dowry property under the premise that Li Lijun is dead, the Sui King and the successor king Li Dai can think that she just wants to preserve the wealth for her husband's family.

But Li Lijun is not dead.

What little Yang did would be to steal the huge wealth belonging to the Sui Palace and enrich the pockets of her natal brother. And if Li Dai helped her, it would be a shame.

You just let your cheap brother-in-law take advantage of your own family!

How could King Sui endure such a thing?!

Although the palace of the Sui Dynasty was a prince's palace, with a large amount of property and property, the father and son of the Sui Dynasty spent a lot of money - the former spent a lot of money to worship Buddha every year, spend a lot of money to attend pujas, print Buddhist scriptures, worship monks, and make gold statues for Buddha statues.

While enjoying a luxurious life, the latter also wanted to secure a position of powerful official for himself - if it were not supported by the Chen family's large dowry, how could the property of the Sui Prince's Palace withstand the consumption of the father and son?

?Without the Chen family’s dowry subsidy, they will definitely become “finished”.

The King of the Sui Dynasty always felt that his son's efforts in getting an official position were in vain, and he might not care about his son's lack of money. But if it was his turn that his hobby of worshiping Buddha lacked financial support, that would be another matter. He wanted to do great merit for himself.

Yes! After decades of hard work, we have accumulated merit. Now that we are old, how can we give up halfway?!

At that time, without Li Lijun doing anything else, King Sui would stand in front of her, punish Xiao Yang for her, and reprimand Li Dai. But King Sui, the real head of the family, had spoken, and Li Dai could no longer bear to leave Xiao Yang.

You can only admit defeat.

Because his position as heir seems to be as secure as a mountain in the eyes of outsiders, but in his own mind, it is extremely precarious. He always feels that his stepmother, Princess Dou, and his third brother, Li Lang, are always thinking of taking away his position as heir.

As long as his father is not dead, he will not be able to rest at ease!

Li Lijun carefully analyzed her thoughts to Aunt Cui. Aunt Cui was finally convinced by her: "The little lady is right... Such a statement that is both true and false can indeed shift the responsibility for the thief to Xiao Yang.

Head. If the successor king still listens to Xiao Yang's slander and drives us out of the palace, the prince will think that he is confused and will ask to keep us." Because they are equivalent to guarding the property of the Sui King.

!

Li Lijun's plan also has another benefit. The bribed maids in the East Courtyard have different backgrounds. Some are guest girls brought by the Chen family from their parents' families, some are the daughters or relatives of the officials in the Sui Palace, and some are the descendants of ordinary servants in the Sui Palace.

When the Chen family was alive, she was the concubine who had both wealth and power, so some people took the initiative to please her. These girls made a big mistake and were punished. If the charges were not made public, their parents and relatives would not know the truth and would they hold grudges.

Where are the two nuns Cui and Lu?

Their current situation in the Sui Prince's Palace is already difficult enough. How can they survive this life if they have a grudge against a large number of the Palace's servants?

Simply publish part of the truth and let the servants of the palace know who is really causing trouble! Naturally, if their daughter betrays her master, she will not be able to blame her master for punishing her. When the time comes, the one they will hold grudge against will be the little Yang family who caused trouble for no reason.

Didn't the young Yang rely on his late father's connections in the Sui Palace to dominate? I wonder which side will have the upper hand compared to the Yang family's official connections and the servants in the palace?

As long as someone causes trouble, wouldn't it be a piece of cake for Princess Dou, who is in charge of the Central Feedback, to replace a few thorns in her side and arrange for her own people?
