Quickly wear and change the fate of the little cannon fodder

Chapter 487: The Little Cannon Fodder in Ancient House Fighting Novels 46

Then he thought of the relationship between Cui and Hua's families. Although the two families had a blood feud in secret, they still had a common bloodline, Cui Xiaoxiao.

The Marquis suddenly felt that he had realized something!

So, the young master of the Hua family only stole the money and property of the Marquis' Mansion for Cui Xiaoxiao's sake, and did not kill everyone in the Marquis' Mansion in order to avoid making things difficult for Cui Xiaoxiao?

That must be it!

But what about Cui Xiaoxiao?

Did she know that the theft at the Marquis's mansion was connected to her maternal grandparents? Or... was Cui Xiaoxiao also involved, perhaps colluding with them? This was truly possible. Otherwise, how could she have quietly taken so many things from the mansion, under the noses of so many maids and servants?

But, Cui Xiaoxiao, is she that brave?

He began to recall every detail about Cui Xiaoxiao from childhood to adulthood, but there were not many fragments about Cui Xiaoxiao in his memory, and he suddenly felt that he did not understand his daughter.

During the few times they met, Cui Xiaoxiao would just keep her head down, speak in a low voice, be timid and cowardly, and obey orders submissively. She also wore gray clothes and did not have the bright and elegant demeanor of a concubine's eldest daughter at all.

If it weren't for this year's talent show and the imperial decree of marriage, he would only know that there was such a person and would have long forgotten what his daughter looked like.

Then he shook his head again. When the mansion was robbed, Cui Xiaoxiao was still participating in the beauty pageant! And when that woman Hua Yunrong died, Cui Xiaoxiao was still young. What did such a young child know?

If she really had so many tricks up her sleeve, she wouldn't have had such a hard time for so many years. He wasn't completely unaware of how the servants in the mansion bullied Cui Xiaoxiao, he just didn't care.

Last time when Cui Xiaoxiao took advantage of the talent show to get rid of Chunyu, they also carefully inquired about Cui Xiaoxiao's daily life and behavior, and there was nothing suspicious. Even if she wanted to disguise herself, she couldn't hide it from her personal servants, and it was impossible for her to disguise herself for so long!

Besides, what good would it do her if the Marquis's Mansion fell into decline? Without the support of her natal family, how could she gain a foothold in her husband's family?

When the Marquis thought about the current situation, he didn't know whether to cry or laugh!

He was able to be healthy because of Cui Xiaoxiao, and he was robbed because of Cui Xiaoxiao. He was successful because of Cui Xiaoxiao, and he failed because of Cui Xiaoxiao. I don't know how I will face Cui Xiaoxiao in the future, but I really don't dare to do evil to Cui Xiaoxiao!

After all, the knife hanging over his head was still there, and no one knew when it would fall. Who knew how many eyes were staring at him in the Marquis' Mansion?

The Marquis also began to think seriously about how to get rid of this hidden danger. Who would want to have such a life-threatening person around, staring at him covetously, thinking of taking his life at any time!

I wonder if the Fifth Prince has the ability to bring these people to justice! They were able to disrupt the Jiangnan officialdom and plunder so much property. Isn't this a provocation to the imperial power?

That Mr. Hua was all alone, yet he had become so powerful in just a few years. Now that he had money, if he used it to recruit soldiers, wouldn't that also threaten the safety of the royal family?

How can I allow others to sleep soundly next to my bed? Will the royal family allow such a huge secret force to exist?

He suddenly thought that it was worth a try. If he couldn't deal with someone, he could use a knife to kill him and achieve his goal.

After all, it wouldn't be a waste of time, right? The other party now has a large fortune, and I believe the Fifth Prince will be tempted. He doesn't ask for much, just to get back the money that belongs to him!

The more the Marquis thought about it, the more he felt that this matter had a great chance of being feasible. He immediately sent a letter to Prince Kang's palace, requesting to see the Fifth Prince, saying that he had important news to share!

While waiting for a reply, he had to carefully prepare what to say in order to convince the Fifth Prince to take action! Although he was not the mastermind behind the Jiangnan incident, it was undeniable that he also had some reasons!

Cui Xiaoxiao, who had been paying attention to the Marquis, saw that the Marquis was alone in the study. Thinking that there was no one around, she muttered to herself in a low voice everything he was thinking!

Only then did Cui Xiaoxiao hear the whole process.

She was also stunned by the Marquis's imagination. Nothing was confirmed, there was no evidence, and everything was based on speculation, yet he was thinking of killing someone with a borrowed knife.

I wonder if the Fifth Prince would be angry if he went to such lengths to search for the group of people, but in the end found nothing? However, Cui Xiaoxiao was somewhat happy to see it happen.

Afterwards, the Fifth Prince and the Marquis talked in whispers in the study for more than two hours.

After the Marquis left Prince Kang's Mansion, the Tenth Prince immediately summoned his staff to discuss the feasibility of this matter! They did not doubt that what the Marquis of Le'an said was false. After all, the Tenth Prince went to Jiangnan to deal with this matter.

I don't know if this group of people has been caught by the Tenth Prince! When he thought about how his tenth brother worked hard to deal with this matter, and he followed behind him and picked up the biggest loophole in the whole thing, he felt happy just thinking about it.

The result of the discussion was that if there really was such a group of people as Lord Le'an said, they should try not to arrest them but recruit them. They would only arrest them if they refused to cooperate!

If we can successfully recruit such a group of people, after all, they can disrupt the entire Jiangnan officialdom quietly and take away so much money and property, which shows that they are very capable!

If someone with brains, ability, loyalty, money, and connections could become the Fifth Prince's right-hand man, then there would be no need to worry about not accomplishing great things. As for the grievances with the Le'an Marquisate, they were nothing to him.

If they really become his strong arm and help him sit on that position, then we can hand over the Le'an Marquis Mansion to them for disposal. It can be regarded as a real utilization of waste!

After the discussion, the Ten Emperors immediately secretly sent people to Jiangnan to understand the situation and look for the whereabouts of this group of people.

Hope it's not too late!

As long as those people weren't caught by the Tenth Prince, he still had a chance. Wasn't Cui Xiaoxiao still in Beijing and had become his pawn? As long as he could capture her, would he still have to worry about finding the other party?

Cui Xiaoxiao didn't know that the Fifth Prince's imagination was even more amazing than that of the Marquis. Everything they both thought of could be made into a TV series.

Four days later, the Tenth Prince returned to Beijing with his entourage. This business trip lasted for a month and a half, and there was only a little over a month left until their wedding.

The next night after completing the mission, Cui Xiaoxiao welcomed the Tenth Prince!

"Xiaoxiao, I'm back!"

"Well, thank you for your hard work."

"Xiaoxiao, there's something... you might be unhappy if you knew it." The Tenth Prince seemed to be hesitant to speak.

"What? Was our wedding date postponed or cancelled, or did the emperor grant you a legitimate wife?" Cui Xiaoxiao could probably guess what he was referring to!

"Neither. What are you thinking about all day? Can't you just hope for me?" The Tenth Prince was helpless!

"If it's not those, then what is it?"

"You should be mentally prepared. Your maternal grandparents... may have met with disaster!" The tenth prince did not keep the secret any longer and told everyone what he knew.

It was indeed the case! In order to avoid arousing suspicion, she also included the Hua family's affairs in the notice she posted that night.

Seeing that Cui Xiaoxiao didn't say anything, the tenth prince thought she was very sad, so he stood up and gently hugged her in his arms! "Cry if you want to, no one will see." He put his hand on her head and gave it a gentle pat.

Cui Xiaoxiao..., she seriously suspected that this guy was taking advantage of her under the pretext of comforting her!

"Your Highness, have you found out the whole story of what happened to the Hua family?" Cui Xiaoxiao said muffledly in his arms.

In late summer, clothes are thinner. The hot breath Cui Xiaoxiao exhaled while speaking just happened to hit the Tenth Prince's chest! The Tenth Prince's body stiffened, his chest tingling with heat and itching. He wanted to scratch it, but he couldn't bear to let go of the beautiful woman in his arms.

"Well, the Hua family was the product of a conspiracy of several officials, who committed murder for money. Marquis Le'an also got involved!" The tenth prince couldn't help but feel sorry for the woman.

Her father's family murdered her mother's family, and her father was the murderer of her mother. How cruel it was to her. After such a thing happened, he could tell with his toes that her father would definitely not treat her well!

He couldn't even imagine how difficult this girl's life had been over the past decade or so, and how many burdens she had carried.

After a moment of silence, Cui Xiaoxiao started asking again, "Is there anyone left in the Hua family now?"

"No more! Originally, your cousin escaped the disaster by checking accounts. But after learning about what happened at home, he spat out a few mouthfuls of blood, then endured the humiliation and waited until he had found out the whole story. With the evidence in hand, he prepared to secretly come to Beijing to file a complaint!

He was afraid of leaking the news, so he deliberately took the waterway, but he happened to run into a gang fight on the waterway, and he died in the battle between the two sides. The Tenth Prince explained the whole story.

The first time he arrived in Jiangnan, he saw what happened to the Hua family. Because of those letters and because of Cui Xiaoxiao's mother's family, he thought that the chaos in Jiangnan was caused by the young master of the Hua family!

So he took some time to investigate all the developments of the Hua family's affairs, thinking that if it was really done by the young master of the Hua family, he could still help him secretly or let him off the hook.

He had originally thought that the Hua family would still be alive, but he didn't expect that even the last survivor had died unexpectedly. His people had even gone to verify the identity of the deceased, and the travel permit and other evidence were still on the deceased. The boatman only kept these things because of the silver he had on him!

Because of this, the truth about the Hua family was finally revealed. Therefore, the chaos in the Jiangnan government was defined as the work of the Jianghu people hired by the survivors of the officials who had been harmed!

Cui Xiaoxiao raised her head in surprise. She didn't expect that her cousin had also died, and died in this way. The Hua family was really unlucky. Just marrying a daughter brought them a catastrophe.

No wonder no one sued the Marquis' Mansion, no wonder no one from the Hua family came to find her, no wonder the Marquis' Mansion and so many people failed to find the surviving young master of the Hua family!

"Who else knows about your investigation into my cousin?" Cui Xiaoxiao then thought of the fact that her cousin had taken the blame for her!

"No one knows except me, my people and the boatman!" Who else would investigate her cousin except them?

"Your Highness, can you erase all traces of my cousin? Including the traces of you looking for him!" Cui Xiaoxiao thought of something!

"Okay, but why do you do this?" the tenth prince asked with some confusion.

"I'll tell you later!" Could Cui Xiaoxiao tell him that the Marquis and the Fifth Prince were looking for him? This blame on my cousin was probably irremovable. I never thought I'd suffer this hardship even after death!

"Xiaoxiao, I'm sorry, the wedding date cannot be changed because of what happened at your grandparents' house!" But he didn't regret telling Cui Xiaoxiao about this before the wedding.

"Yeah, I understand!" Cui Xiaoxiao said sullenly again!

The Tenth Prince rubbed her head again!

Cui Xiaoxiao was speechless. She was sad, but not truly sad. After all, she wasn't the original owner, so she couldn't empathize. However, it was a pity what happened to her cousin. She wondered if the original owner in her previous life would have known about this, and whether the mission she had been given would have been different.

But it doesn’t matter, most of her revenge has already been avenged!

"Xiaoxiao, the betrothal gift will be announced in three days. Do we really not need to change it? I've already prepared everything. The Ministry of Internal Affairs has provided thirty-six sets, all of which I personally selected. They are all high-quality items.

I originally thought that the Marquis' Mansion might not prepare a dowry for you, so I prepared 72 dowries for you, plus the 36 betrothal gifts, a total of 108 dowries!" The tenth prince expressed his original thoughts!

He really didn't want to let this girl down, because she had to have what others had, and she also had to have what others didn't have. He would make up for whatever was missing!

But Cui Xiaoxiao was not happy about it. It was not that she had no money, but she was unwilling to bring shame to the Marquis' Mansion!

"What? You want to marry me and marry me? There's really no need to change it. Thirty-six is thirty-six. It's just a shame for the Prince's Mansion to be talked about for marrying a poor concubine. Do you care?" She would never use the Tenth Prince's things to save face for the Marquis' Mansion!

"I don't care. Whether you marry me or not, as long as I get married, it doesn't matter! I respect your opinion. I'll just carry the dowry I added to your house directly into the warehouse in your yard!"

"Okay!" Cui Xiaoxiao was happy when she saw this person constantly stuffing things into her hands!

Soon, it was time for Prince Jing to pay his betrothal gift. The boxes containing the gifts were quite large, and the carrying poles were bent from the weight. However, after just one look, it was confirmed that these things were solid and not empty boxes. After that, they were all sealed with the seals of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the official seal of Prince Jing's Palace!

After doing all this, all the betrothal gifts were carried to Cui Xiaoxiao's yard.

The overall meaning is clear, all of this is for Cui Xiaoxiao, no one else can touch it!

The Marquis originally wanted to split these betrothal gifts into two or three, but this idea was completely shattered by these operations.

The Marquis was a little distressed. How could the poorest Marquisate in history gather such a large dowry? Did they use all empty boxes? But he was not stupid!

He said that she should have been given away earlier. It would have been better if she had not had a dowry like his eldest daughter.

Oh, by the way, the concubine is having a wedding, and the Marquis’ Mansion needs to hold a banquet!

The penniless marquis was also a little distressed. The money he had used to marry three merchant concubines was also stolen. If he had known this, he would not have put them together.

Now I just hope that the Fifth Prince can act faster, catch the thief as soon as possible, and get his property back. However, it is obvious that this is difficult.
