After leaving the pavilion, Chu Jiaqi stopped and said to Chu Jiating: "Sixth Sister, you see that Chu Xinyu's status in the mansion is now unmatched, and we will soon lose our status. If my mother has three or two shortcomings, her title will be inherited by the second wife. At that time, the status of the sixth brother will be embarrassing."

"Where are you, Sister Four?" Chu Jiating looked at her, "Tayulou was my grandmother who asked you to live with me. Now that I'm asking you to go back, are you willing?" The fourth sister has become smart now, but she is not stupid either. How could she not hear that she is provoking the relationship between herself and Chu Xinyu.

Chu Jiaqi laughed at himself and said, "So what if I'm not willing to give up? First, I'm not the legitimate daughter, second, I don't have the backstage to fight her, and I'm not as smart as you, I can only get beaten up. If my identity is like you, I will never be suppressed by her."

Chu Jiating clasped her hands under Yunsleeved, but she said nothing.

Chu Jiayun said, "Sister Four, you shouldn't be so arrogant. I think you are not inferior to your fifth sister, except for your identity. How can the fifth sister marry the Marquis of Peking? The fourth sister is good at painting. The snow plum blossom you gave to Miss Chen last time was good. If you were there that day, you might be favored by the Marquis of Peking."

"I think so too." Chu Jiating followed Chu Jiayun's words: "The fifth sister just drew the garden that day, except for the artistic conception in the painting, her skills are actually average. If she were the fourth sister, she would definitely be better than her."

Who doesn't like being praised? Chu Jiaqi knows very well that the praise of Jiating's sisters may not be sincere, but they are still very useful. Moreover, she always feels good about me. She thinks that Chu Xinyu is not as good as herself, but other advantages are not as good as herself. She did not go to Baihua Banquet. If she went there, I believe that with her ability, she would definitely surpass Chu Xinyu.

Chu Jiating thought for a while and said, "I heard from Miss Lin Si that the Queen of Beiping likes girls who can draw the most. Miss Fu Er looks at her differently because she can draw."

Chu Jiayun said: "That's right, the fifth sister didn't know what luck she had, but she actually made her climb to the Duke Rong's Mansion. I heard that the family rules of Duke Rong's Mansion were that if a man did not take a concubine, he would never have to serve a husband with others in his life. It was so enviable!"

Chu Jiating sighed: "It's a pity that we are not worthy of our identity, otherwise..."

Chu Jiayun interrupted her and said, "Mr. Lin Si married a wife who was born into a illegitimate family. Because Mr. Lin Si liked her, the elders did not object. If you really talk about family background, besides the royal princess, which girl can match their family."

Chu Jiaqi's eyes were slightly condensed.

She had only seen the third son of Lin from the Marquis of Beiping, but his family background was prominent and he was the God of War in the Xu Dynasty. He used to think that such a person was the stars in the sky and was unattainable. He never thought that such a godly figure would one day have something to do with the person he hated the most.

Chu Xinyu climbed the big tree of Duke Rong's Mansion and had an engagement with a god-like character. It's really envious and jealous!

If he had an engagement with him, he might have been like Chu Xinyu, and the noble ladies in Jinjing would come to have sex with her automatically. In the mansion, the second and third aunts would come to please him, and even the mother would look at her differently.

After Chu Jiating and Chu Jiayun finished talking, they looked at each other, and then walked to the other side in a tacit understanding. After walking for a while, Chu Jiayun said, "Sister, can she do it?"

This is naturally referring to Chu Jiaqi.

Chu Jiating sneered: "She has always been inconsistent with Chu Xinyu, and she has looked down on Chu Xinyu from the bottom of her bones. Now Chu Xinyu is better than her in everything, so how can she not be jealous? Once her inner demon is born, she will compare with Chu Xinyu everywhere. As long as she wants to step on Chu Xinyu, she must find a man with a stronger background than the Marquis of Beiping. But who in the Xu Dynasty has a stronger background than the Marquis of Beiping? In addition to the royal family, it is the Marquis of Beiping himself."

Chu Jiayun looked at Chu Jiating with a complicated look and said, "Sister means that she wants the fourth sister to steal the Marquis of Peking? But even her mother and third aunt fell into the hands of the fifth sister. The fourth sister is no match for the fifth sister at all."

Regardless of appearance and talent, Chu Jiaqi could not surpass Chu Xinyu. Why could she win the Marquis of Beiping? What's more, the Marquis of Beiping and Chu Xinyu had an oral order from the emperor to give a marriage. If their engagement was so easily destroyed, it would not have been maintained until now.

"I know."

"Since you know, why do you still have to cooperate with you to provoke the fourth sister?"

Chu Jiating said: "I just want people to disgust Chu Xinyu."

My mother was disfigured by Chu Xinyu and could not complain to her grandmother, so she asked her to seek justice for her mother. She was afraid that she would pursue the matter, so her mother first designed Chu Xinyu to be found out. After thinking about it, in order not to make Chu Xinyu smooth, she found someone to make trouble for her, which was a way of revenge.

"But, can we just let go of my mother's business?"

How could it be forgotten? Chu Jiating clenched her fists and remembered what the masked man said the night before yesterday.

At that time, her mother asked her to stay at Ningyuan Bo Mansion for a few days, mainly to avoid yesterday's incident. She tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep that night.

Then a masked man in black suddenly appeared in front of her bed, scaring her to the point of her hair standing up. She couldn't see the other person's appearance clearly, but she knew that his voice was low and cold. In order to prevent her from screaming, he pressed his sword against her neck. The tip of the sword was as cold as a poisonous snake, making his whole body verbose.

She asked him in a trembling voice what he wanted to do?

The masked man asked her if she wanted Chu Xinyu to disappear in her world forever.

Of course she wanted to.

As long as Chu Xinyu is there, she will always be pressed by her. If she is not there, everything she will be in the big house, including her biological mother's dowry. Her mother said that Chu Xinyu was dead, and Meimei's dowry made her three siblings evenly share.

The only regret she was that she could not get close to the King of Qin, but even if Chu Xinyu was not dead, she would not match her and the King of Qin. Since that was the case, she would rather Chu Xinyu die.

The masked man said that as long as she cooperates with him and does it according to his instructions, she can fulfill her wish.

She asked the masked man how to cooperate and what she asked her to do. She never expected that the masked man asked her to do so easily. The masked man did not ask her to answer immediately and gave her two days to think about it, but she agreed without thinking.

Fortunately, she agreed, otherwise, she would have to eat yellow lotus in a mute way because her mother was disfigured yesterday.

Chu Jiaqi overestimated her ability and wanted to provoke her relationship with Chu Xinyu and use her own hands to eradicate Chu Xinyu, but how could she hide her little thoughts from her? Since she wanted to eradicate Chu Xinyu so much, why not let her do it herself?

...

However, Lin Chenyao went to Longhua Temple to find Master Hongyi, but was told that he had left the temple two days ago and didn't know where he went. He was suddenly disappointed. Just as he was about to go down the mountain, the little shaman chased him and said that the abbot was looking for him.

The abbot gave him a letter saying that when Master Hongyi left, he asked him to come to the temple.

Lin Chenyao took the letter and opened it immediately, and wrote two lines of words: cause and effect in the past life, and the fate of this life is renewed. Resurrection by corpse, fate is determined in this life.

In just sixteen words, the fog that had been entangled in his heart for a long time suddenly felt like I could see the blue sky by clearing the clouds and mists.

So that's it.

Lin Chenyao went down the mountain in a happy mood.

Today is the day when Chu Xinyu moved the house. After Lin Chenyao entered the city, he did not immediately rush to the Zhongyi Hou Mansion, but returned to the mansion, found a piece of golden nanmu from his warehouse, made a plaque, and carved the three words Biyun Pavilion on it.

After he was finished, he wrapped it in red cloth and prepared to send it to Zhongyi's mansion in person so that he could see her openly. Unexpectedly, he was about to go out when the palace people came to pass on him and asked him to enter the palace to travel together.

So he asked Gui Ye to send the plaque for him.

...

Imperial Palace, Imperial Study Room.

When Lin Chenyao went in, the emperor was flipping through the memorial in his hand. When he saw him coming in, he put it down. Lin Chenyao bowed to him.

The emperor walked down from the imperial case, stepped back from the left and right, and walked to the side hall with Lin Chenyao to sit down.

Eunuch Rong soaked a pot of Biluochun and came over. Before the emperor could speak, he retreated.

The emperor took a sip of tea and said, "I guess you heard about the matter in Hongzhou before entering the palace?"

Lin Chenyao nodded. Gui Ye had already told him about this matter. The court sent Zhao Dong, the Minister of Dali Temple, as the imperial envoy, and Xu Fushi, the Jinyiwei, to assist. The two went to Hongzhou to investigate the collapse of the embankment. As for the transportation of materials, they handed them over to the prince.

The emperor did this mainly because he wanted the prince to take the opportunity to experience it, and to understand the current situation of the people through physical testing, so that he could govern the world with kindness in the future, and become a saint king, and at the same time, help him gain more people's hearts.

Zhao Donglai was Lin Chenyao's uncle. Apart from relatives, Lin Chenyao thought he had the ability to investigate the case, so he recommended him. The prince was also recommended by him, but Xu Fushi was promoted by King Jin.

Xu Fusi is a celebrity in front of the emperor, and the emperor trusts this person very much, but Lin Chenyao remembers his style of doing things, and he is completely different from Zhao Donglai's style of doing things. With his intervention, Hongzhou may not be able to do things smoothly.

He actually understood that the emperor's arrangement was as strong as the two of them, and they wanted them to look after each other so that the matter could be handled fairly. However, this premise was that Xu Fusi was loyal to the emperor, and the most fear was that he was selfless on the surface, but he made some small moves in private and put on small shoes for Zhao Donglai, making it difficult to investigate or delay time, and corrupt people found a way to escape.

Seeing that Lin Chenyao hadn't spoken for a long time, the emperor asked, "What are you thinking?"

His nephew has been extremely intelligent since childhood and has gained his attention. The emperor loved him very much. When they got along with each other in private, there was no difference between the king and the minister, just like an ordinary uncle and nephew.

Lin Chenyao said: "Chen Yao was thinking that with Zhao Siqing's personality, it would be difficult for him to get along with Xu Fusi. If the two of them had a disagreement on the case, and no one would go to persuade them to fight, they would be afraid that things would be difficult. It would be better to send someone to come and help coordinate when the two of them quarrel."

The emperor thought about it and nodded, "Okay, let King Jing go."

King Jing usually assisted the prince in managing government affairs and asked him to go with the prince to deliver supplies. In addition, he could suppress the imperial envoy and Xu Fusi in his identity. If the two of them quarrel, he would come out to persuade the fight, and no one dared not to listen.

Lin Chenyao shook his head and said, "This person must be able to suppress them, but there is no real person."

"Who do you think can be competent for this position?"

"King of Qin."

The emperor frowned, not because he did not believe in his ability, but because he wanted to take advantage of this time to marry a wife to his sons.

The Baihua Banquet has been around for a few days. The list of the most outstanding girls from aristocratic families was selected that day. Prince Chu had already presented it to him. He gave the list to the queen and asked her to discuss with the queen mother and concubine, and first selected the twelve most suitable ones to the royal children who had grown up but had not married the official concubine.

After repeated consideration, the queen and others prepared a list of pairings, which had been given to him yesterday. After reading it, he felt satisfied with the matchmaking and planned to give them a marriage.

Lin Chenyao said: "He followed the prince to deliver supplies. He could not only help the prince, but also investigate and coordinate Zhao Siqing and Xu Fusi, and his popularity would not be higher than that of the prince."

But King Jing is different. The prince has been sick in recent years, and he has handled many government affairs. Some ministers have secretly stood in line to support him. If King Jing sends supplies to provide disaster relief, whether he is intentional or unintentional, some of his supporters will definitely instigate him. At that time, the people's hearts are biased towards him, and the position of the prince will be in danger.

These words were speculations in his heart. Without evidence, he would naturally not tell the emperor, so as not to make people think that he was inciting the father-son relationship between the emperor and King Jing.

The emperor thought for a while and said, "Just as you said."

Generally speaking, the emperor would accept Lin Chenyao's advice, and he thought that it would be best to send the King of Qin out. He did not consider him at that time, but wanted to keep him in the capital and get married and have children soon.
