Conan's physique? The Crown Princess is involved in a murder case again

"Please help me, Miss Seven."

Xu Xingyin smiled knowingly, she knew that Aunt Zhang was not someone who was content to live a dull life.

"I see that Aunt Zhang is superior to Third Aunt in every way, but she is only burdened by her status and the fact that she had no one to support her in the past. But things are different now. Now your family has brothers who can support you, while Third Aunt's family is declining. It's not nice to hear."

Xu Xingyin smiled and said, "Why not replace him?"

Aunt Zhang was obviously frightened by Xu Xingyin's overly straightforward words, and she forced herself to drink a sip of tea before she calmed down.

He cautiously did not respond to Xu Xingyin's words, but asked:

"I am a humble servant with little influence, why would Miss Seven help me?"

"You know my mother's temper. She is kindhearted. I am about to get married, so how can I feel at ease? I have to leave someone to help her. I am not worried about the first wife, but the third wife is always sneaking around. There is no such thing as a thief. Since she is an eyesore to me, it would be better to replace her. What do you think?"

Aunt Zhang smiled and said, "Seventh Miss is quite frank."

"Since it is a collaboration, honesty is a must."

"Then Miss Seven, how do you think a maidservant can take her place?"

"The third house has no children. If you can give birth to the eldest son of the third house, why worry about not having a position in the third house? Moreover, I will recommend your brother to work for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. When his position in the court is stable, why should you bow your head in front of the increasingly declining daughter of the Wang family?"

"Seventh Miss also knows that Third Madam is vicious, how could she let her concubine give birth to a child?"

"What if the old lady wants you to have this child?"

Aunt Zhang was stunned when she heard this and opened her mouth but could not refute for a long time.

She seemed dazed for a moment, then quickly became firm.

"It is my honor to help Miss Seven. As long as Miss Seven can use me, I will do my best, even if it means risking my life!"

"No need to put it in such a horrifying way."

Xu Xingyin chuckled, "What I want is very simple, just to let my mother and brother live a good life in this mansion."

"It is a blessing for the Duke's wife and the Crown Prince to have such a wonderful person as Miss Seven. But... Miss Three will not look on with indifference. Miss Three is already of noble status, and now the mansion has borrowed your influence. In the future, she will have a powerful husband's family. The Third Lady..."

"Don't worry, I'll take care of it."

"Seventh Miss is very thoughtful and far-sighted." Aunt Zhang praised sincerely, "I will rely on Seventh Miss in the future."

Xu Xingyin responded with a few polite words and immediately got straight to the point:

"Grandmother has been very worried about the affairs of the fourth house recently. If you can share some of her worries, she will naturally protect you. Besides, the third house has no children, so Grandmother wants to choose a suitable person."

The third wife, Wang, is a bit shady, but she can still get away with it on the surface.

The fourth wife, Shi, is different. She is like a crazy woman who doesn't give anyone face and bites whoever she catches. Such a person is actually more troublesome than Wang.

Therefore, Aunt Zhang couldn't help but look embarrassed.

"I have no good solution for the Fourth Madam."

"Shi has been tyrannical in the Fourth House for so many years. Isn't it the Fourth House that has the final say? At present, it seems that Fourth Aunt is not able to take good care of Fourth Uncle. It would be better to find someone sensible to take care of Fourth Uncle. Wouldn't it be better if she could continue the incense for the Fourth House?"

After Xu Xing finished speaking, she saw Aunt Zhang's eyes light up as if she had just realized something. She immediately smiled and said, "Thank you very much, Miss Seven, for your guidance."

"No need to say thank you."

Xu Xingyin smiled and waved his hand, and Dangui next to him understood and stepped forward, respectfully handing a box to Aunt Zhang.

"Mrs. Zhang is kind-hearted and sent my young lady back specially. This is a thank-you gift from my young lady to you."

Aunt Zhang understood what he meant and pretended that this conversation had never happened. She took the box with a smile and opened it, and found that it was actually a piece of top-quality ginseng!

Aunt Zhang quickly returned the box, but Xu Xingyin blocked it with his hand.

"Nothing is more important than your own body, including children, husband, and future. Since you want children, you should take care of your body first, otherwise everything else is just empty talk."

Xu Xingyin's words made Aunt Zhang's eyes turn red. Everyone else only cared about whether she could climb high enough and whether her future was good enough. Suddenly, someone like this came who even cared about her own health. It was really...

Unexpectedly heartwarming.

Aunt Zhang tried her best to suppress the bitterness in her heart, said a few words of thanks to Xu Xingyin, and then returned to the third room without further delay.

As soon as Aunt Zhang left the yard, Dangui came over and said to Xu Xingyin with some concern.

"Miss, can a newly-appointed scholar really catch the eye of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? He is just trying to win over a concubine. Please do not hurt your relationship with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Xu Xingyin knew that Dangui was doing this for his own good, so he did not hide anything from her and told her all he was thinking.

"Now that I have said this, I am sure of it. I have inquired about it. Although Aunt Zhang's brother is not as knowledgeable as the top scholar, he is a man who knows how to deal with people and has many connections among the poor scholars."

"Although all the officials in the court are officials in the same court, there are many factions within them. Civil officials, military officials, and nobles are all different. If we divide them into more detailed categories, we also need to look at their backgrounds. The prominent families, the noble families, and the children of the poor families all have their own circles."

"Your Highness's current supporters include a few people led by Prime Minister Xiao, but most of them are born into prominent families. Most of them are not young anymore, and not all of them have capable young people in their families. But the future will always belong to the young, and if Your Highness wants to keep his position, he must recruit talented people."

Although Dangui didn't know much about court affairs, after hearing what Xu Xingyin said, she trusted Xu Xingyin and did not doubt him, so she smiled happily.

"Miss is very smart!"

……

In the following days, Dangui's admiration for his young lady gradually deepened as time went by. Later on, even the usually calm Dangui would be filled with pride whenever he spoke of his young lady.

The changes in the entire Duke's Mansion were earth-shaking, and the front and back yards were in a mess.

Only the one from Chen Guangyuan sat firmly in her room and was not affected at all.

The fight outside was raging, and the self-proclaimed noble ladies were so angry that they even resorted to the shrewish tactics of scratching their faces.

The mutual suspicion made no one feel good about the other, but no one expected that the person who planned this was actually that...

The seventh lady of the second room seems to have nothing to do with it, but she drinks tea, eats melon seeds and watches the show every day.
