"You may be right, but what is Chen Pingan's real purpose and how can we investigate it?"

"He is not a fool. He naturally knows the consequences of deceiving the Huangfu family, so he will never tell anyone his true purpose. We can't force Chen Pingan to question him, right?"

Although Situ Mao agreed with Mrs. Lu's proposal, he raised a new problem.

"On our own we may not be able to find a breakthrough."

"But in the imperial capital, we are not the only enemies of Chen Ping'an."

"There is another person who not only regards Chen Ping'an as a thorn in his side, but also knows the Huangfu family very well."

After hearing the difficult problem raised by Situ Mao, Mrs. Lu seemed particularly calm.

Because she had already thought of someone who could help them solve this problem.

"If I guess correctly, it is impossible for this person to leave the imperial capital. We will go find him immediately."

As soon as these words came out, Situ Mao suddenly realized, and immediately thought of who Mrs. Lu was referring to, and suggested eagerly.

"Don't worry, I always have this person's movements in my hand and can find him at any time."

“Until then, I have something to say about our collaboration.”

Seeing Situ Mao's eagerness, a slight hint of disdain flashed in Mrs. Lu's eyes.

Although she had long heard that the two descendants of the younger generation of the Situ family were very immature.

But he didn't expect Situ Mao to be so unbearable that he couldn't even hide his emotions.

"Mrs. Lu, our cooperation has only one purpose, and that is to make Chen Ping'an disappear from this world. Do you have any doubts about this?"

Situ Mao frowned slightly, wondering what Mrs. Lu meant by what she just said.

"Situ Mao, as far as I know, your position in the family has become worse day by day, right?"

"If this continues, I'm afraid you will soon lose the qualification to inherit the Situ family. Am I right?"

"In this case, why don't we cooperate more deeply? I will find a way to help you build momentum and restore your former reputation among the Situ family. I can even help you get rid of Situ Hong and let you inherit the family. What do you think? ?”

Madam Lu, who looked down on Situ Mao more and more, had already begun to plot against Situ Mao, planning to support Situ Mao as the puppet head of the Situ family for herself to control.

However, the fact that Situ Mao was a cripple and could not have children for life would have a great impact on the Situ family's reputation. Therefore, this was a secret of the Situ family. No one knew about it except a few people, so Mrs. Lu did not know. It is impossible for Situ Mao to inherit the family now.

Therefore, Mrs. Lu misjudged Situ Mao's current situation.

"So, you think so much about me, and what do I have to pay?"

The moment he heard the other party's proposal, Situ Mao knew that the other party was plotting against him.

But all this no longer mattered to him, because he had long since completely lost the possibility of inheriting the Situ family. He had completely despaired of the Situ family, and only resentment remained in his heart.

Therefore, he can completely use Mrs. Lu's calculations to take the position of the Situ family. As for whether he will become the opponent's puppet in the future and what will happen to the Situ family, he doesn't care at all!

However, even though Situ Mao had seen through the other party's plan and tried to take advantage of it, he still asked cautiously in order not to make the other party suspicious.

"What I need you to do is very simple. From now on, the Changsun family and the Situ family will have good relations for generations, and I want [-]% of the Situ family's property."

Although the two people who had never really trusted each other had a common enemy like Chen Pingan, they still started plotting against each other without hesitation.

The conditions proposed by Mrs. Lu were not improvised, but were carefully considered.

First of all, it was impossible for her to ask Situ Mao for nothing, because it would look too fake.

The request for ten percent of the family property would not be a huge blow to the Situ family. Situ Mao would be more likely to accept it, and this half of the family property would also have a certain appeal to Mrs. Lu.

"A word is settled!"

"Now, let's immediately find the person who can help us find out Chen Ping'an's true purpose."

After hearing Mrs. Lu's conditions, Situ Mao pretended to be thoughtful and then agreed.

"Let's go then."

Seeing Situ Mao take the bait, Mrs. Lu showed a satisfied smile.

Noticing the smile on the other person's face, Situ Mao snorted in his heart and thought, "You think I'm under your control, but it's not certain who will have the last laugh!"
