Chapter 615 Feeding the unfamiliar white-eyed wolf

study.

Old Madam Zhao looked at Shen Shuyi with a loving gaze.

"Sister Yi, although grandma doesn't know much about what happened these days, she knows that you survived a near-death experience and it wasn't easy."

Shen Shuyi smiled and comforted: "Grandma, life in this world is not easy for anyone."

The emperor has his own difficulties, and the people have their own difficulties.

The difference is that the higher the position, the more choices you have.

Although she was stronger than many ordinary people, she chose a difficult path.

But even though it was difficult to walk, she still felt happy.

Madam Zhao's eyes were slightly wet, and she nodded: "Grandmother knows that what you have done is beneficial to the people and the country. Your grandfather and I have also discussed this. No matter what you want to do, our mansion will use all our strength to help you achieve your wish."

Shen Shuyi felt a pang in his heart and nodded: "Shuyi thanks grandma."

Madam Zhao wiped her eyes with a handkerchief and sighed, "Let's talk business. The main reason I called you here today is because of Xueqing's marriage."

When this was mentioned, Shen Shuyi understood.

My cousin’s marriage.

It turned out to be for this reason.

Indeed, my cousin is already quite old, and the Marquis's Mansion was not in power in the past few years, so she couldn't be considered a good family.

What's more, the Marquis's Mansion did not dare to act rashly, for fear of being involved in the fight for the throne after marrying Gao.

So this delay has continued until now.

Now that the Marquis' Mansion is in power, there are certainly many people who come to ask for marriage, so it is only right that we take charge of this matter.

"Do grandma and aunt have a favorite family?"

Yan Wanshuang said immediately: "Hey, it's not about whether I like him or not, it's actually that kid from the Gu family - Gu Yunhe."

Shen Shuyi raised her eyebrows. Gu Yunhe, this guy is indeed a good person. He has the youthful spirit that she feels is rare in others.

Moreover, this man is loyal and righteous, and has good martial arts skills. Although I am not sure whether he will be a good match for me, at least he has a precious character and there is nothing to complain about.

"You also know that the Marquis's Mansion has been declining over the years, but the Gu family has always been very close to us. We can be called bosom friends. Madam Gu and I can also be considered as close friends. She has always liked Xue Qing, so she wants to arrange a marriage for Xue Qing and Yun He."

Before this, the Marquis' Mansion was not in power. Although the Gu family could not compare with the Marquis' Mansion in status, they did not dare to propose marriage, for fear of being suspected of taking advantage of the situation and belittling the Zhao family.

Now that the Marquis' Mansion is in power and rising rapidly, although the Gu family knows that the hope is slim, they dare to fight for it openly.

This is open and generous, full of sincerity.

Madam Zhao said, "Your grandfather and I have been thinking about it for a long time, but we still can't make up our minds. Now the party struggle is surging. Although we want Xueqing to marry a rich man, we are afraid."

"After thinking it over, I feel that although the Gu family is not well-off, their character is noble and they value friendship and loyalty. It would be a good choice for Xueqing to marry into the Gu family, so I would like to hear your opinion on this matter."

Old Madam Zhao spoke sincerely, and it was obvious that she was really worried about Zhao Xueqing's marriage.

Shen Shuyi thought for a moment: "The young master of the Gu family is indeed a handsome man, but Shuyi wants to ask the opinions of my cousin and the young master of the Gu family on this matter."

"If both of you are interested, it would be a good choice. If you are not interested, then there is no need to rush."

Madam Zhao nodded: "You are right. We haven't asked Xueqing about this matter yet. We are afraid that it will be awkward for her to get along with the boy from the Gu family."

"Grandma, being embarrassed for a moment is not scary. What is scary is being embarrassed for a lifetime." Shen Shuyi reminded.

Zhao Xueqing has a gentle and peaceful personality, and is a rare talented woman. Naturally, she also hopes that her cousin can marry into a good family and live happily and freely.

Shen Shuyi thought carefully about her past life. Just as her grandmother said, in her past life, the Qingyuan Marquisate had never been favored by the emperor, so it seemed that there had never been any proposal from the Gu family to marry her.

Or, even if there was, she had never heard of it.

"You're right. We've put the cart before the horse." Old Madam Zhao nodded. She felt that the Marquis' Mansion had been on high alert over the years and had been thinking too much.

Shen Shuyi said again: "Grandmother, Shuyi has been involved in the old affairs of the former Second Prince recently, and may have conflicts with the Third Prince's party and Concubine Rou. I hope that Grandmother will remind the whole family to be careful in what they say and do."

Upon hearing this, Madam Zhao and Yan Wanshuang immediately lost the mood to think about marriage.

"Don't worry, I will make them all behave themselves!"

Shen Shuyi shook his head: "Not only that, grandma will have to send more people to keep a close eye on the movements in the mansion. My eldest uncle will also have to be more cautious when he is in office, and my youngest uncle's shop and business must also be strictly guarded against anyone doing bad things."

Seeing Shen Shuyi's serious expression, Yan Wanshuang couldn't help but ask, "Is it that serious?"

Shen Shuyi nodded: "Yes, the Marquis' Mansion is recovering too quickly. Not long ago, someone attacked the Marquis' Mansion for hoarding coal, but failed. Now they are bound to attack again."

"Besides, my aunt and grandmother may not have heard my grandfather mention that today, Lord Xie impeached dozens of officials headed by the Third Prince, which can be said to have shaken the court."

"What!" Yan Wanshuang really didn't know what this was about, and she just felt panicked for a moment.

Madam Zhao thought more about it. She looked directly at Shen Shuyi and said in a deep voice, "You mean that Lord Xie impeached the Third Prince's party, and you were also involved."

Shen Shuyi smiled at Old Madam Zhao and said, "The old matter that Shuyi is investigating happens to be related to Concubine Rou."

Old Madam Zhao sighed and her expression became serious.

"Don't worry, I understand what you mean."

Shen Shuyi thought about it and finally did not say anything. If he asked his grandmother to be wary of Pang Xinlian, it would make her sad.

It would be better to turn around and tell brother Bao Kun and cousin Xue Qing.

When Shen Shuyi left the house, he whispered to Zhao Baokun, "Did you send people to keep an eye on Pang Xinlian these days? Is there anything unusual?"

Zhao Baokun scratched his head: "I don't know if it's abnormal, but she really likes to attend those noble ladies' gatherings."

He had never paid attention to it before and had no idea that his self-pitying cousin liked to participate in these things so much.

However, when he paid close attention, he discovered that she not only liked it, but she would even carefully dress herself up every time, pretending to be careless yet beautiful and effortless...

"Keep a closer eye on her, pay special attention to who she has come into contact with and where she has been." Shen Shuyi warned.

She had been to the Marquis' Mansion several times, and she had observed and interacted with the people in the mansion to some extent.

Excluding a few servants, the biggest suspect is this cousin.

"Cousin, do you suspect that she will betray you?" Zhao Baokun frowned. Although he didn't like it, after all, they had lived under the same roof for so many years and he had already regarded her as a family member.

He still found it hard to believe that Pang Xinlian would do such a thing.

Zhao Xueqing couldn't help but agree: "Cousin, are you worrying too much? Xinlian's personality is indeed not pleasing, but grandma has always treated her as her own daughter. Even if she is ungrateful, she will not repay kindness with hatred."

Shen Shuyi didn't figure it out either, he just said: "People's hearts are hard to predict, there are always ungrateful people in this world who can never be fed."
