331 Counterattack
“Song Minghe.” Lu Ze smiled. This was also why he had arranged for Song Xiao to be in the room today. Since Song Minghe wanted to scheme against his girl, regardless of whether he succeeded or not, it was only fair to return the favor.
“Song Minghui knew about this, right?” Lin Suisui thought of Song Minghui’s expression when she saw him just now and guessed that Lu Ze had not hidden it from him.
However, this matter involved too many things, so it was possible that Song Minghui didn’t tell Zhou Ningqian.
“I told him when I came over this morning.” Lu Ze nodded and replied calmly, “I let Song Minghui decide the future of Marquis Beining himself. He just made the choice he had always wanted to make.”
Song Minghui actually didn’t want to be Marquis Beining ministry’s heir.
To him, Marquis Beining’s ministry was more like a cage than an honor and it bound him to this suffocating ministry.
All these years, he had not received any help from Marquis Beining’s ministry. Instead, Marquis Beining’s ministry had relied on him to survive until now.
However, those people didn’t feel gratitude. Instead, they insisted that he had snatched everything that originally belonged to them.
Song Minghui had never been a pushover.
Marquis Beining’s ministry’s attitude towards Zhou Ningqian this time was the last straw that broke the camel’s back. In the end, it exhausted the last bit of kinship Song Minghui had with those people from Marquis Beining’s ministry.
Therefore, he chose to remain silent this time. He chose to watch those people fall into the trap they had dug themselves and walk towards their demise.
“Will what happened today affect you?” Compared to the Song family’s matter, Lin Suisui was more worried about Lu Ze’s situation.
Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that something was fishy.
Although Lu Ze was just playing along, he was at the scene. Moreover, with the Song family’s way of doing things, they would most likely make Lu Ze take the blame.
The fourth prince wasn’t a reasonable person either.
It might have been fine if Pei Qian had advised the fourth prince, but Pei Qian was seriously injured and couldn’t be in charge. With the fourth prince’s personality, this time…
No!
Lin Suisui immediately reacted and suddenly turned to look at Lu Ze. “You did it on purpose?”
After figuring this out, Lin Suisui finally explained, “Including the fact that Pei Qian was attacked this time…”
Only when Pei Qian wasn’t around could the fourth prince act so impudently.
However, Lu Ze had already gained control of the northern region. The more mistakes the fourth prince committed here, the more evidence Lu Ze would have against him in the future…
Lu Ze didn’t answer Lin Suisui’s question directly. He only rubbed the top of Lin Suisui’s head with a gentle and doting smile. “You’re so smart.”
Lin Suisui gasped and widened her eyes at Lu Ze. “Is Pei Qian crazy? If the wound on his body had been at a slightly different location, it would have been fatal!”
“If Pei Qian hadn’t done this, it would have been very difficult to escape.” Lu Ze explained to Lin Suisui in a low voice, “We had long discovered that there was something wrong with that maid, so we detained her in advance.
At that time, Pei Qian thought of using this assassination to give the fourth prince a chance.” Lu Ze didn’t intend to hide anything from Lin Suisui, so he revealed their previous plan to her.
“This way, the fourth prince would be free to do whatever he wanted.”
“Will he harm you because of this matter?” After the explanation, Lin Suisui asked what she was most concerned about.
Actually, Lin Suisui didn’t know much about the other schemes, and she didn’t want to pursue the matter. What she was most worried about now was how to deal with the trouble in front of her.
“Don’t worry, I have arrangements for this matter.” Lu Ze reached out and pulled Lin Suisui, who was sitting beside him, into his arms. He wrapped the cloak around her tightly so that she wouldn’t freeze. Then, he continued, “From the moment Princess Ning Fu started scheming until Song Minghe took over, I didn’t make any changes to the plan.
However, Yu Niang played a hand in it as well.”
Song Minghe naturally told Yu Niang in private that he had agreed to cooperate with Princess Ning Fu to scheme against Lin Suisui. Yu Niang had been plotting things in Marquis Beining’s ministry all these years and was a scheming woman.
However, no matter how scheming she was, she was still too short-sighted.
Therefore, when Song Minghe mentioned this matter to her and asked her for help, she naturally agreed.
If she could be valued by the fourth prince and enter the fourth prince’s inner residence, wouldn’t her daughter be able to rise to the top after the fourth prince ascended the throne?
Why would she give such a good opportunity to a little b*tch who had been married before?
Besides, that little b*tch had caused Liu Niang to be detained in the Imperial City’s government office until now. How could she be willing to lay the path to riches under her feet?
On the surface, Yu Niang agreed to Song Minghe’s suggestion, but in private, she had her own schemes.
In the end, she thought of using a replacement.
After she let her third daughter wear clothes that were the same color and style as Lin Suisui’s, her third daughter would enter the fourth prince’s courtyard. Then, she would light up the aphrodisiac incense. After the deed was done, with Marquis Beining’s ministry’s influence, it was definitely impossible for the fourth prince to pretend that this matter had not happened!
Anyway, as long as she could enter the fourth prince’s backyard, with her third daughter’s appearance and personality, she would definitely win the fourth prince’s favor!
As for Lin Suisui, Yu Niang naturally had other plans for her.
She paid a few bandits outside the north mountain to knock Lin Suisui out and send her out of the residence. At that time, she would no longer be in the residence, so who would have evidence and cause trouble for her?
If anything, it was that little b*tch’s ridiculous behavior and indiscretion that caused such trouble!
“I didn’t interfere in this. I just arranged a few additional things.” Lu Ze continued to tell Lin Suisui everything he had done. “First, I asked Song Minghui to instruct Zhou Ningqian to quietly bring you into her courtyard to talk after the lunch banquet.
“Secondly, they arranged for secret guards to wear the same clothes as you and go to the courtyard to rest.”
