Chapter 948: Frustrated, almost there

The support from the Seventh Prince’s line came very suddenly. When the Eldest Prince received the favor from the Seventh Prince’s line, everyone was shocked.

This surprise came too quickly and suddenly!

“Seventh Brother, are you going to help me?” The Eldest Prince was so stunned by this surprise that his brain was completely unable to think.

Over the years, because of his father’s displeasure with him, he has always been alone. None of his brothers were close to him. He has very little prestige among his brothers. He originally thought that this would continue like this, but he didn’t expect that the Seventh Prince would suddenly extend an olive branch to him.

The approval of his brothers was more important to him than the help from the Seventh Prince.

“You tell the Seventh Brother for me that he helped me at this time and I will never treat him poorly in the future.” The Eldest Prince has always been affectionate, but he was also sensitive in some aspects. He didn’t care why the Seventh Prince’s lineage made this decision, but he promised.

The person who came to see the Eldest Prince was the cousin of the Seventh Prince. Seeing that the Eldest Prince’s face was sincere and not fake, he couldn’t help but feel deeply moved.

They didn’t do anything to help the Eldest Prince now. They just showed their kindness to the Eldest Prince and brought the Seventh Prince’s gratitude to him. But the Eldest Prince regarded the Seventh Prince as one of his own. He didn’t expect that.

Although he also thought that the Eldest Prince was too shallow and could not achieve great things,……

But inexplicably, he hoped that the Eldest Prince could succeed to the throne. With the Eldest Prince’s loyalty and affection, the Seventh Prince’s life will not be difficult in the future. As the Seventh Prince’s maternal family, they will naturally have benefits.

Compared with the Third Prince, he felt that the Eldest Prince was far better.

Although the people in their group did not completely support the Third Prince, they had given him a lot of help over the years. But how did the Third Prince repay them?

Maybe they gave too much, maybe it was too easy for the Third Prince to get help so he never considered their good deeds, only took their contributions as a matter of course, and treated them as dogs that could be driven at will. If the Third Prince’s wish is not achieved, the Third Prince will wipe out all the good things they did before.

People like the Third Prince were not only selfish but also unreasonable. If the Third Prince comes to power, the Seventh Prince may not have a good life. As the Seventh Prince’s maternal family, he was afraid that they would not be able to escape suppression.

For this reason, their family will also do their best to help the Eldest Prince ascend to the throne. It doesn’t matter if the Eldest prince has no scheming idea and no capabilities to govern the country. They can. They will help the Eldest Prince with these things. The Eldest Prince only needs to be his benevolent monarch.

The Eldest Prince did not know that his simple words made the Seventh Prince’s maternal family more determined to stand by his side and push him to the throne. He was still immersed in the joy of finally having a brother to help him…

Afterward, Xiao Tianyao and Lin Chujiu found out about this and smiled at each other.

The Eldest Prince has always despised the family’s way of playing emotional cards to win people’s hearts, but he did not expect that he would do something similar to the family’s emotional card, except that one of them was sincere, and the other was not sure whether he was sincere or fake.

Xiao Tianyao and Lin Chujiu were sure that the Eldest Prince must be sincere. As for the aristocratic family? Maybe they were sincere. Although it was disgusting to be sincere with a purpose, they were still sincere after all, right?

The Seventh Prince’s lineage can’t do much, but with the help of the Seventh Prince’s lineage, the Eldest Prince’s life is better, and he is not short of money.

When the Third Prince returned to the imperial capital with gold bricks and honors, the Eldest Prince was also starting to arrange a trick to deceive the Third Prince.

Didn’t the Third Prince say that he killed the bandits? Didn’t the Third Prince say that he recovered all the ransom money?

He will let the Third Prince taste the feeling of being slapped in the face in public!

The Third Prince returned with great honors, but before he arrived at the imperial capital, the Second Prince, Fifth Prince and others received big news. There was a fisherman on the beach who took gold to market and found that the gold was mixed with a large amount of copper and sand. He went to the government and reported it. The government traced the trail and found a large amount of gold, a total of two hundred taels of gold!

It would be okay if it were all gold, but the two hundred taels of gold were all mixed with sand and copper and had special markings.

This matter was so weird that the officials below did not dare to take it for granted and submitted it to the higher-ups. By chance, the officials from the Second Prince’s line discovered it.

The Second Prince was close to the Fifth Prince, so he also soon discovered this. When the two of them took a look at the gold sent, and combined it with what the Eldest Prince had said before, about redeeming people with gold mixed with sand, the two princes, who grew up with conspiracies, instantly understood.

“The higher you stand, the harder you fall. I’ll wait for the Third Prince to come back and stumble.” The Second Prince and the Fifth Prince tacitly suppressed the matter. They only waited for the Third Prince to return in glory, then exposed the matter in one fell swoop and pinned him to death.

“It’s a pity that the Eldest Brother has been taken advantage of, but it doesn’t matter. I will redress the injustice for you, Eldest Brother.” The Second Prince, like the Fifth Prince, ordered people to take back all the gold, and then secretly set up a trap.

This matter must not only be exposed but also be made known to the whole world, otherwise their partial imperial father may suppress it for the sake of face.

Even though the Second Prince and Fifth Prince were doing things secretly, the Eldest Prince kept watching them. When he saw their actions, he immediately gave the news to Xiao Tianyao and Lin Chujiu. When they saw each other, they smiled similarly.

If the Second Prince and the Fifth Prince take action, the Third Prince will be finished. The matter of the Eldest Prince can be regarded as a solved case, but the matter regarding the Lin Family and the Hua Family was not so easy to solve.

Although they know in their hearts that the Lin Family and the Hua Family have bad intentions, Xiao Tianyao and Lin Chujiu can’t do anything now. First, the Hua Family and the Lin Family haven’t done anything yet, so they can’t convict people based on mere guesses. Even if they want to do something, they can’t do it in the Central Empire.

In the final analysis, the same sentence remains. Their strength in the Central Empire was not enough. Therefore, even if they know that the Hua Family and the Lin Family have bad intentions, they can only pretend.

“When will this kind of life end?” Once again, after sending away the Lin Family who acted close to her and playing the family emotional card, Lin Chujiu wanted to kill people.

These Lin Family members were as disgusting to her as her good stepmother.

In the beginning, she knew clearly that her mother’s death was not due to the sequela of difficult childbirth at all, but she could only endure it because there was no evidence. She endured it because the other party had a husband who was the Prime Minister.

Now, she knows that the Lin Family has bad intentions and may even be the murderer of her biological father, but because they were from great families, she can only endure it no matter how angry or dissatisfied she is!

“Come on, we can go back soon.” Xiao Tianyao played with the token in his hand and looked forward thoughtfully…

That person has received the news and should have arrived, right?
