Concubine daughter of the Lin family in the Red Chamber

In the evening, Chen Ruiwen came back very late, looking a little tired. Seeing that Lin Wanru was still up, he said, "I'm afraid I'm busy these days, so don't wait for me. It won't be good if you get sick."

Lin Wanru said, "I have something to tell you."

Seeing her serious look, Chen Ruiwen sat beside her with a smile: "What's the matter?"

Lin Wanru explained Lin Daiyu's reason for coming. Chen Ruiwen didn't speak at first, but after a while he said, "Tell your sister, Concubine Jia Xian is fine now, but she just fell out of favor. If the Jia family wants to help, it's better to go Please protect the family, if the Crown Prince fails with one blow, Concubine Jia Xian is not an abandoned son, with the help of the Crown Prince, aren't you afraid that Concubine Jia Xian will return to favor?"

Lin Wanru said: "Just tell them that Concubine Jia Xian is fine? As for the rest, let them figure it out on their own. I just don't want my sister to be caught in the middle."

Chen Ruiwen looked at her: "If the Jia family has taken refuge in the crown prince, then the Jia family and the Chen family are on opposite sides. It's okay now, but if the situation is urgent, not only will you and your sister not be able to meet each other, you may be enemies. be prepared."

Lin Wanru's heart skipped a beat: "Will there be such a day?"

Chen Ruiwen said: "Now that the emperor is still here, the crown prince still dare not do anything. When the crown prince ascends the throne, the second prince will be the first one he will deal with. Instead of being a knife and a fish for me, it is better to start planning now, not only the second prince, but also the grandfather." That's what I mean."

This means that the second prince is already planning to seize the heir.

But the crown prince did not ascend the throne, it was the fourth prince who ascended the throne.

Lin Wanru hesitated. In the previous life, the prince was abolished because he harmed the second prince, and the third prince and the fifth prince confronted each other again. This made the emperor choose the general among the dwarfs, and chose the fourth prince to take the throne.

The second prince is living well in this life.The position of the prince is also very stable. Although the fifth prince and the third prince are staring at each other, they are also holding back. The fourth prince even went from behind the scenes to the front of the screen ahead of time after saving the little princess.

So, does all of this mean a reshuffle?The crown prince may not be abolished, and the fourth prince may not be enthroned. What Chen Ruiwen said may exist?

Chen Ruiwen looked at Lin Wanru's serious expression, thinking that she was worried about being separated from sister Lin Daiyu.Smiling and comforting her: "I just said it's possible, it's man-made, so don't be sad." Lin Wanru acted as if she didn't hear it.

Lin Wanru was immersed in her own thoughts.The more she thought about it, the more something went wrong, she simply stood up and went to the desk to write down the names of the crown prince, the Bao family, the fourth prince and so on.

Ever since I heard that the prince and the Bao family partnered to frame the Lin family.She felt that something was wrong, and now it was becoming more and more obvious that something was wrong.

Chen Ruiwen looked at her in astonishment, seeing Lin Wanru writing and scribbling on the paper, it was still messy at first, but Chen Ruiwen gradually understood the meaning.Lin Wanru drew a map of power division.

Lin Wanru's eyes gradually cleared up. Looking at Chen Ruiwen looking at her, she pulled him to explain: "The prince's position is stable now. The Bao family is his loyal supporter, and the Jia family and the Bao family have a wonderful relationship because of Sister Yingchun." , if Sister Yingchun is good, she is an in-law, if Sister Yingchun is not good, then she becomes an enemy, but Concubine Jia Xian is favored by the prince and concubine. So the attitude of the Jia family is actually ambiguous, Yingchun My sister is not doing well. The old lady has complained about the Bao family for a long time. If it was not for Concubine Jia Xian, she might have broken up with the Bao family long ago. As long as the crown prince falls out of favor, the Jia family must remain neutral in order to protect themselves. He will take refuge with the second prince, let's talk about the third prince and the fifth prince, one is from Concubine Wu Gui, the other is from Concubine Roujia, both are noble princes, but the third prince is narrow-minded and cares about everything, and the fifth prince has a temper Irritable, so ambitious, the emperor is well aware of the abilities of these two princes, and will not entrust them with important tasks, so neither the Wu family nor the Ye family will fight for them, and the fourth and sixth princes, The sixth prince is still young, and the fourth prince doesn't like the emperor because of his horoscope, which has led to the confrontation between the second prince and the crown prince, and the situation is in a stalemate."

Chen Ruiwen couldn't help being stunned when he saw Lin Wanru's analysis was clear and logical. How could he know that since Lin Wanru knew that he was going to marry him, he had been thinking about the fights between the prince and the princes in the previous life day and night, trying to find some clues to help the second prince.

After all, the second prince and the Chen family were honored and disgraceful, just like what Chen Ruiwen said, after the crown prince ascended the throne, the second prince and the Chen family were bound to fall into a situation where people were slashing and we were fish and meat.

Although Lin Wanru doesn't know much about big things, she is good at analyzing problems from small things: "This time Wan Lin set out to design the Lin family, he won't get half of the benefits, the only purpose is to gain the trust of the prince, and then rely on the prince, and continue The business of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but why do the crown prince and the Bao family believe that Wan Lin can bring down the Lin family? Who gave them reassurance? There are three catties of nails on the broken ship, not to mention that the Lin family has lived in Yangzhou for generations, and the relationship and forces in Yangzhou are intertwined. In other words, Mrs. Lin is the daughter of the Yang family in Yichun. If something happened to the Lin family, how could the Yang family ignore it? Junzi Wei’s cousin is the second old lady of the Yang family. Even the crown prince may not be able to deal with it if the family fights back."

Chen Ruiwen was thoughtful, whether it was the Yang family or the Wei family, they were all rich in poetry and writing. Although few people in the family were officials, they were the local tyrants. They must agree, if they make a move, even the emperor will have to back down by three points.

Lin Wanru said again: "But this time, whether it is Wan Lin or the crown prince, both are determined to win. Wan Lin even had other thoughts, wanting to fool Shi Guangzhu and other noble children into throwing money in, and when the time comes, he will be a white wolf with empty hands. It can be seen that he really has full confidence in this matter, so where does his certainty come from?"

Chen Ruiwen vaguely seemed to grasp a clue, but couldn't figure it out. Lin Wanru smiled and wrote down a name: Yang Tai.

In the previous life, Yang Tai came to the magistrate of Yangzhou because of the name of the fourth prince. He is the fourth prince's nanny brother. His biological mother, Mrs. Yang, raised the fourth prince and the fourth prince respected her very much.

Later, when the fourth prince ascended the throne, the first decree he promulgated was to promote the Yang family, and Yang Tai was promoted from the magistrate of Yangzhou to the governor of Zhejiang.

In this life, Yang Tai is not yet the magistrate of Yangzhou, the fourth prince has no power, and Yang Tai is still a shopkeeper in the capital who lives in a small shop.

Yang Tai is poor and ambitious. Although he was the magistrate of Yangzhou in his previous life, he secretly learned how to do business with Yangzhou businessmen, and he made a fortune in half a year. Although he was the magistrate, it can be seen that Yang Tai is a man. Very business minded and calculating.

Wan Lin has been away from Yangzhou for more than half a year, and he doesn't know much about the news in Yangzhou. If a shopkeeper from Yangzhou tells him that the Lin family has committed something and has any clues, Wan Lin will definitely not let it go, and he must be careful. Ask to understand.

And that little shopkeeper is not as rich as Wan Lin, and he is begging Wan Lin for something, so he knows everything, and Wan Lin may be instigated by him. He felt that Wan Lin came from Yangzhou, so he must be very clear about the inside story, so he would not ask further. As for the prince, he believed in the Bao family wholeheartedly.

After such a series of events, as long as Master Lin enters the capital, the Bao family will take action. At that time, the praying mantis, the cicada and the oriole will be behind, and they will be linked one by one. As long as the evidence is collected and handed to the emperor, even the crown prince will not be able to argue with it. , the only winner is the little shopkeeper.

Now it seems that Yang Tai is the little shopkeeper, and the fourth prince is that oriole!

Lin Wanru was just guessing in his heart and needed to be confirmed, so he didn't say anything, but said: "Go and check on Yang Tai, I think he has something to do with this matter."

Chen Ruiwen was puzzled: "How do you know Yang Tai?"

Lin Wanru laughed: "I grew up in the south of the Yangtze River. Apart from other things, I know more about business affairs than you do."

Chen Ruiwen said with a smile: "If there is nothing wrong with Yang Tai, it means that your guess is wrong."

Chen Ruiwen went to investigate Yang Tai half-believing and half-skeptical, but was shocked. Yang Tai is the fourth prince's nanny, but he is very low-key, and few people know his identity.

He has an in-law, who is the treasurer Song who is very trusted by Wanlin's side. Because he borrowed a large sum of money from Wanlin to do business, he is very respectful to Wanlin. Replace the money owed to Wan Lin.

Now Chen Ruiwen probably understood in his heart that Yang Tai is the fourth prince's baby brother, if he is short of money, why didn't he borrow it from the fourth prince, instead he borrowed it from Wan Lin around the corner, and he still couldn't make it, and followed him all day long Behind Wan Lin, he waited on him like a grandson.

It seems that this was premeditated, just to get Wan Lin to take the bait, he firmly believed in what Yang Tai said, and made up his mind to clean up the Lin family.

Wanting to come to Wan Lin, he never imagined that Yang Tai, who had been begging himself all the time, would lie to him, and he only thought that Yang Tai said it to please him.

Yang Tai is a small shopkeeper, how dare he plot against the prince, the fourth prince must be behind him.

Chen Ruiwen couldn't believe it. It seemed that the Fourth Prince, who was not to be judged by his appearance, had always been taciturn and rarely showed himself, had such a plan. He was also puzzled, as if why did Yang Tai have a problem?

Chen Ruiwen was in a hurry to tell the second prince about this matter, so he didn't delve into it. The second prince was also taken aback when he heard the words, and said: "It seems that the fourth brother broke his leg in order to save the little princess that day, and there is something else going on."

First, he showed his face in front of the emperor by saving the little princess, and left an impression on the emperor that he cared about his siblings. Then he uncovered evidence that the prince was trying to get rich and framed the Lin family. I'm afraid even the emperor would not have thought that this was the fourth prince's intentional frame-up. You must know The fourth prince has always been unknown, the emperor never expected him to have this ability, if he had any doubts, he would only doubt the second prince who was on par with the prince.
