Chapter 261: Xian Family Yin Zi Su calculates people's hearts
"This matter is of great importance. I cannot predict how the emperor will react. But since you and your wife have spoken, I will go to the palace to discuss it with the emperor. However, it may not be what you wish. General Pei should be mentally prepared."

After the fall of Southern Tang, what followed was a confrontation between Hanzhou and Xijing City.

With the Jiang family and the Wenyuan Marquisate in their hands, they had some leverage to threaten others, so Pei Zisu's visit to the capital made them wary and they didn't want him to leave.

But who knew that he would take off his armor and return to the countryside as soon as he came up.

How could it be so easy to be a rich and idle person? Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many stories of brothers killing each other since ancient times, so Princess Qinghuan was not completely sure about this matter.

Pei Zisu was not angry, but instead gave her a box.

"The princess is willing to speak for my husband and me, which is already a great honor. I have nothing to give you, so I can only give you the seal of the Patriarch of the Pei Family. I hope that Your Majesty and the princess can feel my sincerity. I really have no intention of getting involved in the affairs of the court again."

The seal of the patriarch, Jiang Shiyuan never thought that he would give it to someone else so quickly.

Thinking back to that day in the Pei family's old house, and how much importance the Pei family attached to the seal, she believed that this thing would also be a great temptation for the royal family, which was equivalent to handing over everything the Pei family had.

That is not just an ordinary prominent family, but a family with accumulated power over hundreds of years. Apart from anything else, even if the wealth is used to fill the national treasury, it will probably make Da Sui more powerful. So when Princess Qinghuan took the seal of the head of the family, the expression on her face was also wonderful.

Finally, he looked at Pei Zisu for a while before saying with a smile.

"If you were a king, you would definitely make Ah Nian bear the reputation of a tyrant who is known for her beauty."

"Princess, you are joking. I am just a reckless man. Isn't the world in the hands of Your Majesty?"

When Princess Qinghuan heard the word "Your Majesty", a different reaction flashed across her eyes. Pei Zisu saw it, and thought of some things in his past life. The corners of his mouth slightly raised. As expected, no one in the royal family is an easy person to deal with!

The teacup in front of me still has a delicate fragrance, but no one cares whether the fragrance of the tea lasts...

"Okay, since General Pei is so sincere, I will definitely try my best to make this happen. But before this is successful, I don't want anyone else to know what happened in the Princess's Mansion today."

"Don't worry, Princess. There are more than one or two people involved with me. I won't gamble with their lives. Being indecisive is not my style!"

Princess Qinghuan glanced at Pei Zisu with satisfaction, then changed the subject with a smile.

"On this point, what this princess trusts most is Ah Nian's vision."

The two of them stopped talking after that. They had already expressed what they needed to say and understood what they needed to understand, so naturally they talked about other things.

"By the way, did you know that Jiang Shijin returned to Prince Chun's Mansion?"

"The princess is still worried about the family scandal."

Jiang Shiyuan didn't want to talk much about this person, so he spoke in a faint tone and didn't express any opinion. Instead, Princess Qinghuan was a little more intimate than before, and then explained.

"Her pregnancy was fake."

"Fake? How could it be?" This news was even more shocking than when Jiang Shiyuan first found out that she had returned to Prince Chun's Mansion, so he looked at Princess Qinghuan with full of confusion. However, Pei Zisu on the side figured out some ideas and asked directly.

"She can go back. Was it arranged by the princess?"

"General Pei's brain is really different from that of ordinary people. She can always grasp the key points quickly. Yes, it was arranged by this princess. I contacted her privately a few months ago. She is really restless. As soon as the branch was thrown, she couldn't wait to climb up and left a lot of ways for herself. So I remind you, don't interfere in the affairs of Prince Chun's Mansion. This princess wants to make them all go to hell!"

When they heard the words "the whole family returned to the west", the couple looked at each other.

Although they didn't know how Prince Chun's Mansion had offended Princess Qinghuan, they could agree on the same goal on this matter. So Jiang Shiyuan showed a rare bit of anger and then said.

"Princess, if you want to deal with Prince Chun's Mansion, don't leave us out. They and my husband have an irreconcilable feud with us."

"What do you mean?"

"After Ah Nian followed me back to Hanzhou, that guy kept trying to harass us and made things difficult for us. Such a disloyal and immoral person should be killed by everyone!"

Pei Zisu's indignation made Princess Qinghuan less suspicious.

After all, if it was said that the father and son had received the emperor's secret order to act against Pei Zisu, it would make sense if love was involved.

Jiang Shiyuan also reacted quickly and started crying with tears in his eyes.

"I was not in good health, and it was God's blessing that I had two children. So we were very careful at that time and didn't dare to make any mistakes. But he kept staring at us. In the end, I had to hide in a wooden house in the wilderness to avoid him. Even when the two children were born, there was no one around. Princess, you don't know that if it weren't for God's blessing, I might not have been able to come back alive. So Prince Chun's Mansion, Prince Song, I will make him pay the price!"

When it comes to children, there are both true and false stories, so Princess Qinghuan naturally wouldn't be suspicious.

There was some heartache in his eyes, and then he said.

"I didn't know so many things had happened. No wonder Song Shi didn't come back with the censors. When he stayed in Hanzhou, I thought he had other things to do, but I didn't expect that he was pestering you! You shameless thing, it's a good thing you didn't marry into Prince Chun's mansion, otherwise you don't know what kind of suffering you would have suffered now! Okay, in the future, this princess will send someone to inform you of the affairs of Prince Chun's mansion, and I will definitely not let them have an easy time!"

Jiang Shiyuan was so excited that he shed a few tears.

Pei Zisu's stern look further strengthened Princess Qinghuan's trust in the matter, so she didn't think about it any more. They were all forces to be eliminated anyway. It was Prince Chun's Mansion who stood on the wrong side and had to get involved with the Eastern Palace.

"By the way, this princess has done a lot of research on the Crown Princess's death. If the news is correct, I'm afraid that the Crown Princess had an affair with Song Shi before she died."

This was a royal scandal. Princess Qinghuan was willing to tell them about it, so it was obvious that she was going to have a falling out with the Eastern Palace. At that moment, Jiang Shiyuan reacted.

No wonder Pei Zisu handed over the family head's seal. It is certain that under the current situation, the princess will not present this item to the emperor, but will most likely use it as a bargaining chip to confront the Eastern Palace, or even the emperor.

With such bargaining chips in hand, the Pei family, the Jiang family, the Wenyuan Marquis's Mansion and other families will be tacitly regarded as members of the Princess's Mansion, and safety will naturally be greatly guaranteed.
