Chapter 1362 Xiao's recent situation
Chapter 1362 The current situation of the Xiao family
The incident in Dong'an Mansion was just an example. The bigger grudge was the third prince's exposure of Gong Qiu's affair with the imperial concubine.
It was he who brought this matter to the front of the late emperor, which led to Gong Qiu's beheading, the concubine's death, the fact that the second prince was not a dragon, and several other things were involved.
It can be said that the third prince single-handedly contributed to the second prince's current fate.
These two people have sworn hatred, but now the third prince is actually harboring the second prince??
Shu Yu looked at the letter and couldn't help but sigh: These days, interests really come first. In order to achieve a common goal, huge hatred can be temporarily put aside.
You know, when the third prince was just one step away from the throne, he was suddenly defeated by the current emperor and was treated as a major threat. He was on guard and could do nothing, so he was naturally unwilling to accept it.
He also knew that the second prince was not the son of the late emperor, and would not be able to ascend to that position no matter what. Since both parties had a common goal, it was not impossible to cooperate.
But from Shu Yu's point of view, this was clearly looking for death.
If the second prince had no great benefits, why would he cooperate with the third prince to deal with the current emperor?
Shu Yu shook his head and continued reading the letter.
The letter said that it was really an unexpected thing to discover the whereabouts of the second prince, and it was related to Xiang Weinan.
Qi Lie said when he came over earlier that Xiang Weinan's wife, Xiao, returned to the capital first, but was left at her parents' house. She was said to be sick, and even Xiang Weinan's mother went to pick her up, but she couldn't be brought back.
Xiang Weinan finally returned home some time ago. When he returned to Beijing, the first thing he did was to go to the Xiao family.
Firstly, I came to visit my ‘sick’ father-in-law, secondly, I wanted to take my wife back, and thirdly, I went to check out the situation of the Xiao family.
The Xiao family had no reason to stop her, but what made Xiang Weinan feel strange was that when he saw Mrs. Xiao, he found that her entire body had lost weight rapidly.
It's obvious that we haven't seen each other for only two or three months, but Mrs. Xiao has changed a lot.
Mrs. Xiao only explained that she was worried about her father's condition and that she was unable to eat or sleep well.
But Xiang Weinan had a keen mind and felt something was wrong.
The most obvious thing is that the maids and women around Mrs. Xiao all have unfamiliar faces.
The familiar Aunt Gu and Shui Xin were gone. The two maids present were staring at Mrs. Xiao as if they were spying on her.
Xiang Weinan threatened to tell Mrs. Xiao some private words between husband and wife, but the two maids did not agree.
No, it's not that they don't agree, it's that Mr. Xiao doesn't agree.
Mrs. Xiao used to long to be alone with Xiang Weinan, but this reaction and attitude were so unusual.
Xiang Weinan had many doubts in his heart, but he still couldn't ask them.
He didn't stay at Xiao's house for long before he was urged to go back by Mrs. Xiao.
But before leaving, Mrs. Xiao hugged him, and with that moment, a handkerchief was silently stuffed into Xiang Weinan's hand.
Xiang Weinan realized the seriousness of the matter and said nothing at the moment. He put the veil away calmly. After returning, he opened the veil and took a look, only to find that the words on the veil were not written with a brush, but in several different ways.
The fat powder is even spelled out with blood stains.
Xiang Weinan's eyes twitched at that time. Mrs. Xiao wanted to write a letter to him, but she didn't use pen and ink, which meant that she couldn't touch the thing at all.
In other words, she could touch it, but someone was watching, so she couldn't use it.
Looking at the content of the letter again, Xiang Weinan's expression changed even more.
Mrs. Xiao asked him to save her and her parents because she accidentally saw the second prince in the Xiao family.
