Catching an adulterer at the beginning, the mistress of the Marquisate went crazy

Chapter 197 The Worst Move

"Liu Tianshu, what do you mean by this? Do you think my daughter is not worthy of the second young master of the Chang family? Or do you think your sister is more worthy of the second young master of the Chang family?"

Hearing Hou's accusation, Liu Tianshu smiled bitterly.

"Old lady, don't say that I am just a married sister. Even if I am not married yet, it is impossible for a girl like me to decide the marriage of my sisters."

Hou looked at Liu Tianshu angrily.

"Since you knew this, why did you want to destroy the relationship between Sister Qing and the Chang family?"

"Where did you get this from, old lady?"

Liu Tianshu sighed and said, "Madam, it's been three days..."

"What three days?"

Hou looked at Liu Tianshu in confusion.

"As far as I know, the Marquis came to the palace three days ago. In addition to wanting the Queen Mother to stop the Chang family from canceling the engagement, he also pleaded for my father to be reinstated..."

"what?"

Hou looked at Liu Tianshu in surprise.

"The Marquis is Sister Qing's biological brother. He knows that the Chang family is Sister Qing's in-laws' family. How could she..."

Liu Tianshu interrupted coldly, "She's just a half-sister. How can she be as close as my father-in-law?"

"you……"

Hou looked at Liu Tianshu in surprise, and again didn't know what to say.

In the past years, in order to plot Gu Jinyun's position as the crown prince, he never treated him sincerely, and Gu Jinqing and he only had a superficial brother-sister relationship.

Indeed, between his father-in-law and his sister's future father-in-law, Liu Lanqi is closer, so it is reasonable for Gu Jinyun to choose to help him.

Thinking of the attacks that the Chang family had inflicted on Liu Lanqi's faction in recent days, Hou's face became even uglier.

"You also said that it has been three days and the emperor has not made any move. I am afraid that the emperor does not want your father to be reinstated."

"It's definitely possible."

Liu Tianshu nodded calmly.

"The end of the year is approaching, and the emperor will soon seal the throne. This matter will definitely be settled before the end of the year..."

Before Liu Tianshu could finish her words, a little maid ran in from outside.

"Reporting to the old lady, Madam, the news just came from the court that the position of Minister of Personnel fell to the Sixteenth Master who has never been involved in the affairs of the government. Lord Liu and Master Chang are the left and right assistant ministers respectively."

"what?"

Hou stood up with an unpleasant look on her face.

Although Mr. Chang was originally only the acting minister, he had the power of the minister.

Now, because of Gu Jinqing's disturbance, the position of Shangshu that he had obtained was gone. Even if Liu Lanqi failed to successfully reinstate his position, he would still blame Gu Jinqing.

Thinking of this, Hou no longer had the heart to argue with Liu Tianshu. She just wanted to give her silly daughter a good beating.

At the same time, she also began to think about the feasibility of her daughter's marriage to the Chang family.

Compared to Hou's shock and helplessness, Liu Tianshu was much calmer.

Although Liu Lanqi returned to the court because of Gu Jinyun, his official position was one level lower than before.

Don't underestimate this one step difference, it is a world of difference. What's more, the Sixteenth Prince is still young. If he doesn't make any mistakes, he can stay in this position for at least another twenty or thirty years.

Liu Lanqi and Lord Chang will never have any hope of promotion in their lifetime.

Thinking of the ugly expressions of Liu Lanqi and Lord Chang, Liu Tianshu had an urge to laugh.

"Your own father has been demoted, and you can still laugh?"

"My father had been stripped of all his official positions and was idle at home. Now the emperor has shown mercy and appointed him as the left minister. This is a great favor from the emperor. Naturally, I have to smile. Not only do I have to smile, but I have to smile happily."

"You...you only think about your father and never think about Sister Qing?"

The moment she heard the result, Liu Tianshu really ignored Gu Jinqing's future, but what does that have to do with her?

"The old lady should be able to rest assured now."

"Safe?"

Hou looked at Liu Tianshu uneasily.

"correct."

Liu Tianshu smiled slightly.

"You see, the emperor has made a decision about the Chang family and my father, but he did not mention the marriage between the two families. This means that the emperor does not support the Chang family to break off the engagement, and my third sister can marry into the Chang family as she wishes."

"I……"

The Chang family failed to cancel the engagement, and their daughter kept her marriage. This should have made Hou very happy, but at this moment, she couldn't smile at all, and even hoped that this marriage would not go through.

At this moment, she really regretted that she should not have instigated Gu Jinyun to go to the palace to beg the Queen Mother. Otherwise, even if Gu Jinqing could not find a family like the Chang family after her engagement was broken off, at least she could be content with a small fortune.

Now that things are like this, the Chang family must hate Gu Jinqing to death, and there will definitely be no good results if she marries him. And now it is not easy for Gu Jinyun to go to the palace to beg the Queen Mother.

This was the worst possible move for them...
