Chapter 2415: Chapter 2412: Secret Manipulations Behind the Scenes

The Qi family has control over the Jiangnan area, wielding a great influence, so much so that even Emperor Xuanming would face significant challenges if he wanted to undermine them.

“Let Zhu San continue to gather news, but don’t intervene. Prioritize protecting identity and safety, then send someone to inform Prince Rong’s Mansion. We don’t need to do anything.”

“Yes.” Su Mei nodded.

“By the way, Madam, I think there’s something strange about the Qi Residence. Judging by Minister Qi’s attitude, it’s evident he wants to seize Wang Qianmao’s weaknesses. Even though Elder Qi San was exposed for keeping a mistress and having a fifteen-year-old son, the Wang family won’t make trouble for the Qi family over this matter.”

“However, Third Madam Qi, since she knows everything the Qi family planned was well-prepared, it’s impossible for her not to be aware that the Qi family used her Wang family’s connections to achieve everything before. Now that Elder Qi San is gone, wouldn’t Third Madam Qi notify her father to prepare in advance?” Su Mei couldn’t believe Third Madam Qi would forget her resentment just because of Elder Qi San’s death, judging by the fact that she went directly to the mistress and the illegitimate child, which clearly shows she’s not kind-hearted.

Later, Third Madam Qi welcomed the child and the mistress back to the Qi Residence. If it were someone else, they might indeed think Third Madam Qi has tolerance, but Su Mei was informed by Zhu San that Third Madam Qi didn’t have a good attitude towards the mistress and the child. Obviously, allowing the child into the Qi family must be due to the Qi family’s intention, and Third Madam Qi could only agree.

Even if she’s genuinely affectionate towards Elder Qi San and couldn’t bear to make a scene, the nanny by her side surely wouldn’t be so naive, would she?

“You have Zhu San investigate this matter carefully.” Ye Muyu suddenly thought of the actions Minister Qi could take as mentioned by Chu Heng, sparking a suspicion: “Perhaps it’s not that Third Madam Qi is unwilling to notify her family, but that her people were intercepted by Minister Qi, naturally giving him some time.”

“Isn’t Minister Qi afraid of offending the Wang family for doing this? Wang Qianmao is no pushover; being able to calmly hold the position of the Jiangnan Academy’s head, he’s definitely more than just an ordinary scholar. He has taught students who show him allegiance, and there must be reasons behind everything.” Su Mei couldn’t understand.

Ye Muyu said calmly: “The Qi family is even more complex, and their connections aren’t something the Wang family can compare to. However, as long as the message is passed to the Wang family, the Qi family’s plans aren’t likely to succeed so easily.”

“Madam is right; I’ll go investigate this matter.” Su Mei also understood the importance of this issue for the Chu family. Whether it’s truly as Madam suspected or not, as long as we can create tension between the Wang and Qi families, the goal is achieved.

Su Mei left the main courtyard.

She pondered for a moment and then passed the information to Chu Ziluo.

Chu Ziluo was a bit curious: “Aunt Su Mei, did Mother ask you to inform me of this?”

“Miss, I learned of this information and reported it to Madam. Madam said to inform Lord Rong; both Madam and I believe that you notifying him is most suitable. In the future, establishing yourself in the mansion will definitely be more challenging than in other families. If needed, just send someone back to the household; whether it’s Madam or I, we’ll do our best.”

“I understand.” Chu Ziluo nodded: “Then leave this matter to me. Aunt Su Mei, go about your work.”

“Then I’ll take my leave, Miss. Rest assured in handling things.” Su Mei chuckled softly as she left.

Chu Ziluo waited until Su Mei was far away, yet inwardly understood.
