Chapter 548 (1/2)



548 The mastermind behind the scenes that surfaced (big chapter) _2

“Uncle Qian, drink slowly and tell your niece about this.”

Qian Qingshu frowned, hesitated for a while, and sighed. “As expected, you’re a greedy person …” However, you have to promise that whatever you hear here will not be leaked out.”

“Of course, I’m the most trustworthy person.” Wang simu quickly pecked her head.

………….

Xu Manor.

In the study, Xu Qi ‘an sat behind the desk, thinking about the next step of the plan.

It was not a big deal to deal with the Minister of Justice. Exempting Erlang from punishment was only the first step of his plan. Next, he had to find the real enemy among the Civil officials.

Only by knowing one’s enemy and oneself could one win every battle.

“Huaiqing is a Princess, but she can only watch and can not interfere with the plans of the court. After all, she was a Princess with no real power. However, she should have a hidden confidant …

“Lord Wei’s attitude towards this matter isn’t very positive. It’s more of a test of my ability. If I can’t handle it, I’ll go to him for help. Although Lord Wei will definitely help me, he’ll inevitably be disappointed.

“How can I get some inside information? Governor Zhang is a good candidate, but he’s Wei Yuan’s man. He’ll be on guard against the Civil officials from the opposing camp and may not know much …”

While he was thinking, his ears twitched and he heard footsteps.

“Thump thump …”

The footsteps stopped outside the door, and someone knocked on it. Then, a voice came, “”Dalang, there’s a lady looking for you,”

Lady, who is it?

Well, I have too many girls, I can’t guess … “Invite her to the inner hall, I’ll be right there,” Xu Qi ‘an replied.

He continued his interrupted train of thought and thought for a few more minutes. He picked up a cup of tea to moisten his throat before getting up and leaving.

When he came to the inner hall, he saw a pretty servant girl in a Lotus-colored dress standing in the hall. The little bean walked around her and said very naturally,

“Sister, let’s play, let’s play. I’ll treat you to water chestnut cakes.”

The pretty servant girl responded with a forced smile, as if she was not used to being with young children.

“Lady LAN ‘er?”
