Reborn as a concubine's sister, the eldest lady went crazy

The eldest prince was not good at arguing with words. When he heard what his second brother said, he became anxious and his face turned red. If it weren't for the accident involving Military Advisor Lu, he wouldn't have fallen into such a predicament.

There were people on the field who could defend him, but they were either his subjects or his younger brothers, and no one wanted to speak.

Lu Anyuan's eyes were wandering, and it was obvious that he was thinking of something else.

Father gave my second brother full authority to manage the minting of silver coins in the country? What's the difference between this and directly giving him the silver mine!

Now it’s good. No wonder he dares to be so extravagant. Now he has the real support of a mountain of silver. If he continues like this, he and these stumbling blocks to his throne will sooner or later have no place to stand.

Lu Anyuan was still daydreaming when he felt his waist being pinched again. When he came to his senses, he found that the eldest prince had already strode out of the banquet hall. Before leaving, he said, "I will sue you in front of my father!"

Xu Yixing was looking at him inquiringly, and it was obvious that the situation was becoming a bit tricky.

Lu Anyuan stood up and bowed to the second prince: "Don't mind it, second brother. Big brother is always easy-going. I was just joking. I'll catch up with him and persuade him. You don't have to worry." After that, he gave Xu Yixing a wink, and the two of them left in a hurry, looking like they were really going to chase someone.

After getting in the car, Xu Yixing looked out of the car worriedly: "Isn't it too disrespectful for us to go like this?"

"Can the conflict between us be resolved by giving face?"

"That's right, is the eldest prince still going to chase her?"

"Don't chase him. Leave him alone."

The two princes left in a hurry, and the banquet naturally ended soon. The second prince looked at the plaque for a long time without moving.

The Second Prince's wife was filled with worry at this moment. The housewarming party had turned out like this, and she had no idea what her husband was thinking.

"My dear, this plaque is too ostentatious and not in compliance with the rules. Why don't you just put it up?"

"What do you know, woman?" The Second Prince seemed not to want to talk to her and had the plaque carried to the door.

"Why are you doing this? His Majesty entrusted you with the power to mint coins out of trust. If you make this known to others, the other princes will become jealous."

"I was just reprimanded by my father. Look at how they took advantage of me back then. Now that I'm favored again, I have to warn them so they'll be wary!"

"But..." The Second Prince's wife wanted to say something else, but her husband had already turned and left, leaving her alone in the empty hall with tears in her eyes.

After returning to the mansion, the two filled their stomachs first before analyzing what had just happened.

Lu Anyuan: "I think my second brother is not mentally ill. He is not that kind of person. It is probably because he knows that even if he starts to lie dormant now, we will not ignore him. On the contrary, if he behaves very strong and arrogant, we will be more afraid of him."

"Well, that makes sense." Xu Yixing fiddled with the jade pendant. No matter from which angle you looked at it, it was a piece of top-quality jade. The second prince was really generous.

"Madam, do you know what it means to give him the power to mint coins?"

"What else could it mean? Your second brother said it himself. It means he is the king of Qibei. Hey, how about you also change the sign to Qinan Palace? Hahahahaha!"

"You really are!" Lu Anyuan stepped forward and pinched Xu Yixing's cheeks as a punishment. "I'm just a little worried. With money, he can do so many things. In the past, he was restricted by the palace and was restricted in employing people. Now that he has opened a government and has money, it is very convenient for him to buy soldiers and make friends with officials."

As a result, the gap between him and the other princes will become larger and larger. Those ministers who were originally optimistic about him, those who have not yet expressed their stance, and those who have already surrendered but have ulterior motives, may all turn to him.

His chances of winning were too slim. Even if the Fourth Prince, or at most the Sixth Prince, were added, these three people together would not be able to compete with him.

"Madam, you have a lot of ideas. Is there any way to make him give up his power?"

"Oh, you remember me now? It's simple for me to say. Just tell my shadow guard to kill him directly, and you'll be safe." Xu Yixing answered half-jokingly, but he saw a flash of decisiveness in Lu Anyuan's eyes, as if he really meant that.

"Hey, hey, hey, I just said it casually. It's not that easy to assassinate the prince. I still want to keep my shadow guards, so don't think about them!" He said this loudly for Lu Anyuan to hear, and also for Ying Jiu to hear.

That kid is a bit stupid. If he really listened to what was said and went to assassinate the Second Prince, Xu Yixing's days would be over.

"I get it. Do I look like such a stupid person? But..." Lu Anyuan thought of the arrow that hit him on a snowy night when he was a child. He still doesn't know who did it, which is really scary.

"But what?"

"Madam, let me tell you a story about a little boy." Lu Anyuan told Xu Yixing the whole story of how he was attacked and rescued, but he didn't say his name directly.

Xu Yixing certainly knew about this past event, which could be regarded as a turning point in Yi Yan's fate at that time. Unfortunately, Lu Anyuan did not repay her kindness in the end, which made him take advantage of her in vain.

"Then you are talking about my sister's story. Who assassinated you? Have you found out?"

"You are so smart. I didn't find out. I was twelve at that time, and I was the first among the princes to open a palace. I think there were many people who hated me. Who knows who they are?"

"Does the emperor know?"

"I don't know. I haven't told Father."

"Oh..." Xu Yixing did not pursue why he did not avenge himself at that time. The past was like smoke, and even if there was an assassin now, it might not be possible to find out, not to mention that that was when he was not able to protect himself.

"Ma'am, I have a feeling that you might be wronged next."

"Me?" Could the Second Prince now rush into the Seventh Prince's mansion and kill him or destroy his innocence?

"Yes, do you remember that you asked me to suppress Gu's shop before? Now that our hatred with my second brother has come to this point, I think he will definitely suppress our industry. Qinan is fine, after all, it is my place, but your industry in the capital will probably shrink."

"Well, it doesn't matter. I have Siwen, she will definitely help me handle everything. By the way, please help me find some lawyers. Character doesn't matter, the main thing is that they can talk. I should also prepare in advance and can't just sit there and wait for death."

"Okay." Lu Anyuan squatted down and leaned close to Xu Yixing's thigh. He admired her in his heart and knew that she was not the kind of person who would be bullied. Since the Second Prince was now powerful and there was nothing he could do, he could only respond to her moves and see how they worked.
