997, timing
Mrs. Zheng Si sighed, "The Deng family wants to adopt the son of Prince Long'an. King Ji's son is still so young, so no one can be without support and care. Of course, the person who raises the prince's concubine is selected from the prince's concubine. Since the Deng family has sent someone to the Zheng family, it is possible that they are planning to use this bait to touch the Zheng family! No matter who raises this child, who will be the queen mother in the future! With such glory, it is hard to guarantee that your third uncle will not be moved by the Deng family!"
Master Zheng San is such a handsome man. Because Mrs. Zheng San fought with the second wife to marry Duke Su's mansion, he used some despicable means to make Mrs. Zheng San feel that he had lost face. He did not care about his 20-year relationship with Mrs. Zheng San and moved to the study without looking back. Later, when Mrs. Zheng San was sick, he didn't even take a look!
Such a good-looking person is willing to send his daughter to be a concubine, so naturally there is only one explanation. There is something more important than face that makes him willing to let go! The interests drive Mr. Zheng San to send his daughter to be a concubine. Now he doesn’t get the benefits he wants, but he loses a bargaining chip. Now he has the opportunity to turn the tide, how can Mr. Zheng San let it go?
"No matter how moved the third uncle is, his father will still stop him. His father already knows the interests of this and will not be deceived and shaken! The Zheng family has finally managed to protect themselves, so how could he watch the Zheng family be pushed into the fire pit?"
"I hope so!" Mrs. Zheng Si can naturally trust Mr. Zheng Si, but she doesn't think so about other people in the Zheng family. From the perspective of Mr. Zheng San, helping the Deng family has great benefits. Such interests can easily make people blinded, especially Mr. Zheng San is a person who is interested in fame and fortune.
"Mom is at ease. The Deng family can take the initiative to win over the Zheng family without any grudges", so can the Fu family. Maybe the uncles will be dazzled and will not be able to make a decision for a while!" Before they make a decision, a new turning point will appear again.
Xu Shu's words come true.
The bait given by the Deng family is indeed very attractive. Master Zheng San almost agreed on the spot. However, with Master Zheng, who is here, it is not his turn to be the younger brother. Master Zheng did not nod, and Master Zheng San could only endure it. Although Master Zheng was also a little moved, he thought that the Deng family had lost the character of the Zheng family and the risk of being in alliance with the Deng family was too high. Who knows if the Deng family will turn against each other after they gain power? So Master Zheng did not make any promises on the spot, but did not say anything to death. Master Deng could only leave unwillingly.
As soon as Master Deng left, the Fu family came to the door, but compared to the Deng family, the Fu family was much more sincere. The Fu family came by Lord Fu himself.
After seeing off Lord Fu, it was already very late. Master Zheng Si returned to Pu Yuxuan and found that only Mrs. Zheng Si was alone, so he was stunned for a moment.
Mrs. Zheng Si smiled and said, "You are looking for Xiaojiu, right? Xiaojiu is going back first!"
Master Zheng Si also smiled, "I thought she would want to know what the result was!"
"If you don't say it, Xiaojiu has guessed it too!"
"Oh? I guessed it? What did she guess?"
"The master has been there for so long. It seems that it is not just the Deng family who sent people here, right?"
Master Zheng Si nodded in conscientiously, "I really made her guess! Yes, as soon as the Deng family left, Lord Fu came in person!"
"It seems that the Fu family is more sincere!" At least the Fu family comes from someone who can be the masters of the family.
"It may not be necessary!" Master Zheng Si shook his head, "Although the Fu family came by Lord Fu himself, compared with the conditions given by the Deng family, the conditions given by the Fu family are not as attractive as the Deng family!"
"What conditions did the Deng family give?"
"The Deng family promised that as long as the Zheng family and the Deng family were in the same way, they would let Li Jie'er be the crown princess and enjoy endless wealth and glory!"
As expected, it was the same as Mrs. Zheng Si’s guess, “Is that third master moved?”
"That's natural. Yesterday I asked them to stop moving for the time being, and the third brother was a little dissatisfied. He wanted the whole family to work together to find a future for Sister Li. He said that every time he would fight every second, why did the Zheng family start to become a turtle? Today, the Deng family came to the door with him on his own initiative. He was not only moved, but he wanted to press his eldest brother's neck and make him nod!"
"So the master didn't agree?"
Master Zheng Si nodded, "Brother is by nature and is afraid to act rashly at this time! The more seductive the Deng family promised, the older brother felt hesitant again. In addition, before the elder brother made a decision, the Fu family came again, and the older brother made the decision even more difficult!"
"What about the Fu family's conditions?"
"The Fu family should be more pragmatic, not as boastful as the Deng family, and promise to make a lot of profits! The Fu family did not ask our Zheng family to stand on the side of King Pingning like the Deng family. He just wanted our Zheng family not to help the Deng family. As long as the Zheng family did not share the same hatred with the Deng family, if King Pingning was in power, he would definitely thank the Zheng family for everything he had done! If he was defeated, he would not be able to implicate the Zheng family!"
Mrs. Zheng Si shook her head and laughed, "The Fu family is indeed much more pragmatic. I know that it is unlikely for our two alliances, so I just want our Zheng family to remain neutral and no one helps! I even thought about the way forward for our family, which is really caring!"
"The Fu family is now standing on the side of King Pingning. In terms of blood ties, King Pingning is indeed the best candidate for the crown prince. If the Deng family had not stopped him, the imperial edict to welcome King Pingning back to the court would have been issued long ago. Now that the Deng family has found our family, it means that the Deng family is actually afraid that things will develop in that direction. Even the Deng family itself is panicked. It can be seen that in this contest, the Fu family has a great chance of winning!"
"So the master is inclined to agree to the Fu family?"
Master Zheng Si shook his head and nodded again, "Brother thinks the Fu family's requirements are not difficult to achieve, and both sides can not offend them, nor does it violate the Zheng family's current self-protection practice. The second brother is not at a high level and can't say anything in the court, so the second brother always follows the eldest brother. Of course, the third brother is more inclined to the Deng family. After all, doing so is more beneficial to the third wife!"
"What about you, Master? What do you mean?"
Master Zheng Si said lightly, "At this time, the interests of the entire Zheng family should be the first!" The implication is that he does not agree with Master Zheng San, that is, he does not agree with the Zheng family's reliance towards the Deng family.
Master Zheng Si changed his subject, "But the Fu family has now won over Master Gao. Even if the Fu family agreed to the Fu family, the Zheng family could not be ranked in front of King Pingning. Although it was not risky, it had no future!"
"Then the master wants to..." Mrs. Zheng Si was a little confused about Master Zheng Si’s plan!
