The Salty Little Cannon Fodder Was Targeted By the Prince

Chapter 162: Upright body is not afraid of slanting shadows

He had no choice but to ask his children for help, and Prince Consort Du said in a low voice: "You two came in just in time. You know what happened to Huang Lian. Come and persuade your mother. My father has never done anything wrong to her, and he has never touched Ning." . No matter how I explain, your mother won’t listen.”

As an elder brother, Du Qian was still very responsible. He walked to his mother and gently held her shoulders, "Mother, I heard my sister tell you about this. She said it was very suspicious. Even my sister's brain can do it. I thought, my mother is so smart, she must be able to see the problem, right?"

The eldest princess was about to ask something suspicious.

 When I thought of asking, wouldn’t it mean that I was stupider than my daughter? Then he shut up again.

The eldest princess had no choice but to put on a show, pretending to glare at her son, "How did you say that?"

 “Son, this is just a matter of fact.” Du Qian said sincerely.

Du Wan moved over carefully, "Yes, let's discuss the matter."

In order to coax the princess, she doesn't mind the cheap brother connoting her affairs.

Du Wan was originally thinking about how to mention it to the eldest princess, but she didn't expect them to know so quickly, "Mother, Huang Lian looks nothing like dad. Besides, the jade pendant that dad lost more than ten years ago is What is passed down from the direct ancestral line of the Du family can only be passed on to the eldest son from generation to generation. In the future, the jade pendant will be passed on to the elder brother, how can it be given away so easily."

“…” The eldest princess looked at Prince Consort Du questioningly.

Du Prince Consort looked at Du Wan in astonishment, "Wan'er, how did you know about this?"

"I am-"

Du Wan's face suddenly became sullen, and she touched the tip of her nose guiltily.

Does she dare to say that she came here by eavesdropping?

Du Prince Consort waited for a long time, but didn't even wait for his daughter's answer.

As soon as Du Qian saw his sister's guilty conscience, he knew that he must not have found out through normal means, "My sister has not returned to the clan before. She must have heard about it in the clan."

 “Hehe, yes, yes, yes.”

Du Wan had an idea and walked down Du Qian's ladder.

Du Consort did not pursue the matter. What he was most concerned about was the attitude of the eldest princess.

After hearing what Du Wan said, the eldest princess began to believe it, especially the incident involving her daughter’s jade plaque. The Du family attaches great importance to inheritance, so it is impossible to give away the ancestral jade pendant that represents the direct lineage. The most likely thing is to lose it.

"Even if the jade pendant is lost, it doesn't prove that what happened to Ning's family was not your fault." The eldest princess glared at the Prince Consort.

 The way a beauty stares is also very beautiful to do.

Du Wan found it pleasing to the eye.

It would be nice if today’s topic wasn’t so heavy…

Du Prince Consort had a hard time explaining what he said, so he approached the eldest princess with a soft attitude. There was a brother and sister present. In the past, as a strict father, he would not have been able to make such a submissive gesture, which would have cost his children face, but now the situation was complicated and he could not care so much.

　　Du Prince Consort tugged on the eldest princess's sleeves and said, "Sister Shu, if you don't believe in my husband, you will break my husband's heart."

 “Humph.” The eldest princess turned sideways, with her back to him.

Du Prince Consort whispered coaxing words in a low voice.

This position is really high!

Du Wan knew that the eldest princess had softened a little.

 Perhaps he somewhat believed in the innocence of Prince Consort Du.

Of course, Du Qian saw it and raised it at the right time: "Father, the incident happened in the palace. You can go into the palace and mention it to the emperor's uncle and ask him to help find out what happened nineteen years ago."

"Yes!" Du Ma agreed, "I am not afraid of the shadows. I will go into the palace to talk to the emperor soon."

Du Wan helped, "Father, please hurry up and enter the palace. At that time, Prince Pei clearly ordered those people not to tell, but it has only been a long time since it reached your ears. This matter cannot be delayed, and it needs to be investigated as soon as possible."

"My sister is right." Du Qian also felt that the sooner he could find out, the better.

It has been delayed for a long time, and I still don’t know what will happen.

Du Consort also felt that this matter should be dealt with sooner rather than later, "Then you two stay at home and take good care of your mother. My father will go to the palace to see the emperor now."

 “Okay, okay.” Du Wan nodded.

Du Qian then said, "Don't worry, dad, my son will take good care of his mother."

The three of them had agreed, but the eldest princess had other ideas, "I will go into the palace with you."

 “Huh?” Du Consort was stunned.

The eldest princess said: "I want to enter the palace and meet the emperor's brother." "Okay."

Du Prince Consort did not dare to refuse and quickly winked at the brother and sister.

When Du Wan was still confused, Du Qian got to know his father better, "How about Wanwan and I go into the palace together. Wanwan did not attend the palace banquet yesterday, so she can meet her uncle and apologize to him."

 “...Uh, right, right.” Du Wan understood and immediately agreed.

　It's now better, the whole family enters the palace.

 The entire princess residence became busy.

 The carriage was prepared.

 The brothers and sisters went back to the yard and changed into clean clothes. The whole family got on the carriage neatly and entered the palace.

This time Du Qian did not choose to ride a horse, but rode a carriage with his sister.

 In the carriage, the brother and sister were relatively speechless for a moment.

Du Wan sighed, "Brother, what do you think will happen to the Princess Mansion if this matter spreads?"

“The reputation will definitely be bad, and the other things...are unknown.” Du Qian said the word unknown with a somewhat unfathomable tone.

Due to familiarity, Du Wan often overlooks Du Qian's power and foresight, "Huang Lian looks like she faints at the slightest stimulation. Can we still interrogate her?"

 “What do you want to know?”

 “What happened on the day I disappeared?”

 “It depends on whether she is willing to say it.”

 “It’s difficult. I’m still saying this today because I want to cause trouble for us.”

 “If you don’t say it, don’t say it.”

"well."

Du Wan sighed.

Du Qian pinched her cheek and said with a smile: "You are so young, why are you sighing? If something happens, it won't be your turn to shoulder the responsibility."

"I can't carry it, and I don't want my brother to carry it. It would be so tiring."

"Ha ha."

Du Qian was inexplicably relieved when she interrupted him.

 That’s right, so what if it really makes a big fuss?

As long as the whole family is doing well, my sister will be doing well too.

  Huang Lian was terminally ill, and punishment and other methods were of no use to her. Unless they could find her weakness and force her to confess the crime in person, it would be almost impossible to get something out of her mouth.

Du Wan knew this very well, and so did Du Qian.

The family entered the palace smoothly and arrived in front of the palace. The young **** went in to report. They were waiting outside.

 The result was unexpected!

 The young **** came out and said that the emperor was not free today and would not see guests for the time being. Let the family go back first, without saying when they can see each other.

This situation is very rare. Usually the eldest princess enters the palace in person, and the emperor will take time to see her no matter how busy she is.

Du Wan immediately looked at Du Qian.

Du Qian happened to look at her.

 The gazes between the two people suddenly became meaningful.

Du Qian straightened his sleeves and said softly: "Sister, let's go to the Imperial City Si Yamen."

Du Wan said with a fake smile: "Okay, I just happen to be free."
