Rebirth of the Noble Concubine

Chapter 129 129. Dialogue

So Feng Jinlin went to Su Cheng to invite "one of his own".

Since they knew the truth of the matter, they were like grasshoppers in the same boat. How dare they disobey the prince's orders, so the doctor didn't even bother telling lies.

Mrs. Feng thought that this person was arranged by her father, and although she was nervous, she was not afraid of being exposed.

On the contrary, Feng Jinyao next to her looked a bit wrong.

The Su family, the second brother, the military doctor, the assassination, and even Shou Bo, everything happened by coincidence, and it was a bit smooth and surprising.

Could it be that someone behind the scenes did this on purpose?

I looked through the screen at the four people drinking tea outside, and a lot of doubts settled in my heart.

Mrs. Feng saw something wrong with her face, and wondered if she had not had a good rest these past few days, so she rushed her back to the courtyard to rest.

There was nothing going on in the left and right courtyards, and some other things came to mind. Feng Jinyao did not want to sit still and wait for death. She asked Yun Xu to take care of her at home and went to Bai Mansion alone.

When I entered the courtyard of Bai Mansion, I didn't go to find my aunt and others as usual, but went straight to Prime Minister Bai's study.

In the study, only Bai Xiang was present. Feng Jinyao took a deep breath and walked forward before knocking on the door gently.

"Grandpa, are you in the room?"

"Ayao?"

"it's me."

The door was pushed open from the inside, and Bai Xiang looked at his granddaughter who was both familiar and unfamiliar at the same time, full of doubts about her arrival.

"But what's wrong with your father?"

"Grandpa, don't worry. My father's injuries are not serious for now. It's me. I have something to tell you."

This little girl has a determined look on her face, and her already stunning beauty makes her even more attractive under the sunlight.

However, such beautiful women are often like dodder flowers, and they can only live freely by relying on others.

But she was different. The calmness and perseverance in those watery eyes made Bai Xiang feel dazed for a moment.

"come in."

This was the first time Feng Jinyao entered Bai Xiang's study. The furnishings were similar to those of her father's study at home, except that there were many unique books stacked on the rows of ancient bookshelves against the wall.

There is an unfinished painting scroll on the desk, and it is unclear what it is.

"Why are you here? Do you have something to tell me?" Bai Xiang spoke first, not intending to beat around the bush.

Seeing this, Feng Jinyao had a serious face and didn't say much nonsense. She spoke frankly.

"Grandpa, my father was assassinated this time. My granddaughter thinks it is related to the water transport corruption case."

As soon as these words came out, even Bai Xiang became a little wary. How could a little girl guess the movements in the court so accurately? Could it be that someone else had revealed it to her?

So he asked, "How do you say this?"

"A few years ago, my mother and I went to Jiangnan. There was a banquet hosted by Governor Cao's family. The post was sent to the inn, and it was impossible not to go. So my mother and I went to Cao's family to attend the banquet. Although the two Zhejiang areas are rich and far away

It is better than other places, but Governor Cao’s home cannot be described as magnificent, it is simply extravagant and even the Duke’s Mansion can’t compare.”

The Wei family was one of the most powerful nobles in the dynasty, the most popular aristocratic family, and was even wealthier than the Duke's family. I didn't know what the Cao family was like.

Recalling what Prince Ding said last night, Bai Xiang's expression turned ugly, he frowned and said, "Continue talking."

"My granddaughter looked at her with cold eyes. Those ladies who came to the banquet had a common attitude towards these things, and I'm afraid it was the same when they came to their homes. My mother didn't like Mrs. Cao's showy temper, and she never went there again after the post.

We came back not long after and completely cut off all contact with the Cao family."

"Then how can you be sure that your father's assassination is related to the Water Transport Department?"

"My granddaughter guesses that the person behind Governor Cao must have killed him when he knew that his father had evidence of their corruption!"

"Evidence? What evidence?"

"After Cao Sidu's family accidentally capsized and died, the Huaiyin Governor was worried all day long. He was afraid that he would be the next to be killed, so he took the account book that had passed through his hands before and made a declaration of surrender, begging his father to save the lives of his family.

."

Bai Xiang immediately widened his eyes and signaled her to shush. He quietly opened the door and looked around. After making sure no one was eavesdropping, he hurriedly asked.

"How do you know this?"

Wen Mengsheng had told her these things in her previous life, but how could she tell her grandfather about this? It was only a small matter that she was afraid that her grandfather would not trust her. At worst, he might have thought that she was possessed by a ghost and was going to be sent to be suppressed.

So he lied and said, "The governor of Huaiyin is a close friend of my father. He accompanied my mother and I when we traveled to the south of the Yangtze River. He also has a daughter who is older than my granddaughter. My granddaughter calls her Sister Banxia. These things

She sent it as a New Year's gift, and my granddaughter only found out about it last night."

The Governor of Huaiyin is a third-rank official. Although he is an external official, he has considerable real power. Even he is afraid of being silenced. It seems that the Weiguo Gong party is responsible for the "accidental" death of Governor Cao.

Starting to have doubts.

"Where are the account books?" Bai Xiang asked anxiously.

Feng Jinyao shook her head, "That account book is a life-saving talisman for the Du Cha En's family. My granddaughter thought that he would not hand it over easily. She might have to go to Huaiyin to check it out to find out."

King Ding wanted to investigate thoroughly, but Duke Wei wanted to cover it up. When La Feng's family entered the water, he thought it was for him, but he didn't expect that there was something like this involved. Does Feng Hai know about it? If he knew, why didn't he mention it before?

For a moment, even Bai Xiang was a little confused about the direction of this matter.

After a moment of silence, he asked, "Is there a third person who knows about this matter?"

"I only told my grandfather that the matter is so important that my granddaughter dare not say anything nonsense."

"Okay, this matter must not be leaked, otherwise not only your family, but the entire clan in Liangzhou in the northwest, including the Bai family, will also suffer. You should go back first, and grandpa will think of a solution."

"yes."

The reason why Feng Jinyao came to talk to Bai Xiang was because she wanted to use his power to deal with the Wei family.

Otherwise, a mere member of the Feng family, or just herself, would not be able to shake this big tree. The only way to fish in troubled waters would be to make the situation more chaotic.

After leaving Bai's house, Feng Jinyao sat on the carriage and closed her eyes to rest her mind, slowly thinking.

Counting the time, it was almost time for that person to appear, with a contemptuous smile on his lips.

The Wen family has been in trouble for so long. It's time to pay the price for your evil deeds.

When he opened his eyes again, he was filled with murderous intent.

Not long after Feng Jinyao left, Bai Siruo came back from outside.

Knowing that he and Feng Jinyao had missed each other, he felt very sorry. He was also thinking about whether he should go over to see his uncle's injury, but he happened to meet Butler Qin, who came over with a smile on his face.

"Hello, Miss."

"What are you doing, Steward Qin, so happy?"

"The New Year's gift that the eldest lady asked me to prepare is ready. Should it be delivered to your yard, or directly to the Lu family?"
