Chapter 1036 Eat inside and outside
Du Hanping returned from her inspection and heard some noise in the room, so she hurried in to ask.
"Master Su, why are you roaring? Are there any unusual movements by the enemy?"
Su Ding was depressed.
"No."
Du Hanping turned her head and looked to the side, showing her concern.
"Why is Lord Gu standing? Please sit down."
Su Ding's voice and expression were stern.
"Stand up here, you're not allowed to sit down!"
Du Hanping was confused.
"What did Lord Gu do wrong? Why is Lord Su so harsh?"
Su Ding glanced at his granddaughter.
"Tell me, what did you do wrong?"
Gu Yihe confided.
"Reporting to Lord Du, the people from Beizhaotai have discovered that Lord Ning did not participate in the training of the attendants. Therefore, they turned their attacks on us, trying to alienate our relationship and win me over so that I would sincerely follow Prince Dijin."
"My grandfather fell into my scheme to sow discord and mistakenly thought I had given up, so he punished me."
Du Hanping nodded.
"I see."
She spoke fair words as she walked towards her seat.
"Please, Lord Su, forgive my excessive comments, but you were wrong in this matter."
"Lord Gu carefully planned and prepared for us to defend against the luring of troops. How could you not appreciate his kindness and blame him?"
Su Ding was furious.
"You've been lurking in the enemy camp, but I haven't seen your intentions. You've been plotting against us, confusing right and wrong, but you're quite good at it."
"Gu Yihe, how can you be so unreasonable?!"
"According to you, you did nothing wrong, it's all my fault?"
Gu Yihe pretended to be timid.
"My grandson is terrified."
Su Ding was angry and explained the whole story.
"Lord Du may not know this, but I have investigated everything thoroughly. The people of Beizhaotai have made no move."
"Because of her deceptive words and tricks, we missed a golden opportunity to plot against King Di Jin!"
"Alas, it's my fault for not teaching her well enough to raise such a rebellious granddaughter."
"Later, the Emperor learned of this and summoned me for questioning. I really didn't know how to explain it to him."
Gu Yihe was nonchalant.
"I've already explained the reasons to you. Isn't that enough to report to my superiors?"
Seeing her attitude, Su Ding was even more angry.
"What kind of lame excuse is that? I'm using you to give me advice to avoid responsibility?"
"What I want is a good opportunity to plot against King Di Jin!"
Gu Yihe stated and defended himself calmly.
"Why does Grandfather, indiscriminately accuse a good person?"
"Think about it yourself. With Lord Ning's talent, how could he possibly fight against the people of Beizhaotai?"
"I do have good intentions, and I want to keep a trusted minister for my father."
"The emperor doesn't have many advisors around him these days. What was Grandfather thinking, letting Lord Ning get so involved in this situation? If he doesn't make it out alive, you really don't know how you're going to explain this to the emperor."
Su Ding pointed fingers and blamed others.
"You are a good speaker."
"Learn a little bit of strategy, and use it against your own people, betraying your own people."
Gu Yihe argued.
"How can I be disloyal?"
"Grandfather, why don't you think about this? You, Mother, and our Su family are all in the hands of our father. How can I abandon them? You can't think that I am ungrateful and disregard my relatives, right?"
Su Ding gritted his teeth.
"You'd better be filial, otherwise, I will kill you with my own hands."
Hearing that something was wrong, Du Hanping reminded and advised.
"Master Su, your words are too harsh."
"Master Gu is just a child. Why are you arguing with her? Don't damage the harmony of the family."
Su Ding also felt that his words were too harsh and he regretted it as soon as he said it. However, once words were spoken, they could not be taken back.
A quick glance showed that her grandfather was moved. Gu Yihe pretended to be pitiful and was about to cry.
"My grandfather was always threatening people. He never felt sorry for me, nor did he miss me at all. It was so difficult for me to be on the edge of both sides."
Su Ding felt guilty.
"How can I not feel sorry for you?"
"Isn't it painful to be deceived by you every time?"
Gu Yihe's words were flawless.
"Why do you say that, Grandfather? I have never lied to you."
"Since you haven't cheated, why do you say you feel bad about it?"
Su Ding couldn't bear it, so he stopped talking back and waved his hand gently to signal.
"I don't want to argue with you. Just seeing you makes me upset. Go get busy."
Gu Yihe was angry and left with a slam of the door and a wave of his sleeves.
"Humph."
Seeing her rudeness, Su Ding became angry again. He pointed his spear at her back and roared like thunder.
"You did something wrong, but you acted so arrogantly. I..."
Du Hanping hurriedly tried to persuade him.
"Master Su, please calm down..."
Another day.
Ning Jiewei made an appointment with Qiu Bi and went to Wangyouju to visit Lan Tong.
As expected, Lan Tong was unwilling to be harassed by Ning Jiewei, but she still had to put on a smile.
She was wearing a clear blue silk dress, clear and beautiful. After the ceremony, she sat down with her long dress fluttering, and asked questions modestly.
"Excuse me, my dear gentlemen, what can I do for you?"
Ning Jiewei smiled brilliantly.
"The plot against Ning Cangmo concerns your safety, so I will naturally come here to tell you the progress of the plan."
Blue eyes and respect.
"Thank you, Madam, for your hospitality. I am truly honored."
Ning Jiewei sighed in frustration.
"Alas, as you said yesterday, my plan failed."
Lan Tong followed her wishes and tried to comfort her.
"I'm just talking nonsense, madam, please don't take it seriously."
"The failure of the plan is definitely not your fault. It's all Ning Cangmo's fault for being cunning."
Qiu Bi corrected.
"Madam is too modest."
"The village master really doesn't know that Madam's plan was very successful."
Lan Tong was surprised.
"really?"
"That's really gratifying."
Ning Jiewei was ashamed.
"Master Gao, you are trying to comfort me with kind words."
"Just listen to her, don't believe her."
Qiu Bi talked at length and in an orderly manner.
"No."
"I mean what I said."
"The progress of the plan, although not as Madam expected, is remarkable."
"First, Madam's prediction was spot on. The Secret Service appointed Ning Cangmo to be in charge of this matter. This is truly a brilliant plan."
"Secondly, Ning Cangmo fell ill, but luckily escaped death. This was definitely not a natural disaster, but a man-made one. Madam allowed him to skip the imperial examination and become the Minister of the Secret Service, which aroused the jealousy of her colleagues. They then used drugs to murder her. She was just one step away from eliminating the disaster."
"Madam, you used a borrowed knife to kill someone, executed the plan perfectly, and escaped unscathed. It's truly brilliant."
"Ning Cangmo, the newly appointed Prime Minister, fell ill in bed that day. For him, this was a warning from the Madam, meant as a warning."
"It goes without saying that Ning Cangmo will be trembling with fear, unable to sleep or eat, fearing that Madam will plot against him again."
"In my opinion, Madam's plan, far from failing, has been a resounding success."
"From now on, with you protecting the village chief, how dare Ning Cangmo act rashly?"
Unexpectedly, she could brag about a failed plan and even say it was a brilliant strategy. Lan Tong was greatly surprised and amazed.
Ning Jiewei laughed heartily.
"Hahaha, Master Gao is really good at talking. No wonder Master Lin is so fond of you."
There seemed to be sarcasm mixed in his words, and his blue eyes turned cold and his heart was filled with anger.
The plan of marrying into the Lin family was going smoothly, but Madam Mei showed up unexpectedly and disrupted the plan for no apparent reason.
If I allow her to use such schemes to delay time, Lord Lin will surely find out something is wrong before he can ask Princess Yuexi to make plans and help me find a good match.
If Lord Lin becomes wary, all my efforts will be ruined.
What to do?
