After a tragic death and rebirth, I became the regent's favorite

"Grandpa, are you telling the truth?"

Xiao Ting had a serious look on his face. He knew that Marquis Wuyang would not joke about such a thing, but he still found it a little hard to believe.

"Your Highness, how could I lie to you about this matter?"

Marquis Wuyang looked depressed. The more he thought about it, the more headache he felt. He didn't know how this matter would end.

Even Xiao Tingyi felt that this matter was unreasonable. "She herself came from the Shen Mansion, how could she do something that disregarded the safety of the family?"

"It's all because of my poor parenting skills. When I first brought her back, I only cared about how she had been living outside for so many years and how much she had suffered. I indulged her and spoiled her, but I never thought that I would raise her to be so ignorant!"

When Marquis Wuyang talked about this, his tone was full of regret. If he had known this would happen, he would not have done it in the first place. No wonder no one in the Shen family objected when they wanted to take Su Moli away.

Before, I just thought that the Shen family had some complaints about Su Moli because of the fake Taoist priest, but I never thought that Su Moli herself had problems.

"Grandpa, she did something like this, are you still going to protect her?"

It turned out that his mother had sent him a message. He was somewhat happy, thinking that his mother could finally shift her attention from the prince to him.

Now it seems that he was thinking too much. The reason why his mother asked him to intervene was because this matter could not be exposed to the public. The crown prince was the heir to the throne and was not suitable to deal with such dirty matters, so it was his turn.

From the beginning to the end, the queen mother's eyes and heart were all about the prince. There was no place for him at all. It was ridiculous, really ridiculous.

"Your grandmother refused, Your Highness. You don't know how much she means to your grandmother. She is your grandmother's lifeblood."

Although Marquis Wuyang could not be considered a good man, he was extremely gentle to his wife. It was not wrong to say that he was a good husband. For all these years, he had not even brought a concubine into the Marquis's mansion.

"In that case, I'll do my best."

Xiao Ting nodded and did not refuse. He also knew that his mother asked him to come here to deal with the matter, not to persuade her.

"Your Highness, I'll leave everything to you."

Marquis Wuyang patted Xiao Ting's hand and placed all his hopes on Xiao Ting.

In fact, this is also a kind of selfishness. If he really cared, he would not say that everything depended on Xiao Ting. This is also a disguised way of pushing the matter completely onto Xiao Ting.

To put it bluntly, the selfishness of the Su family is hereditary, otherwise the Su Mojie sister would not have caused such unrest in the Wuyang Marquis Mansion.

"Grandpa, I can only try my best."

Xiao Ting did not say anything definite. He was a very smart man and naturally knew how difficult this task was to accomplish.

The reason he was willing to let go now was simply because he wanted to use this matter to get closer to Shen Moyu, and this was an opportunity for him.

Although he didn't know why Shen Moyu seemed hostile to him, he believed that as long as he worked hard, she would be his sooner or later.

When he heard the rumor that Shen Moyou was in love with him, he took a wrong step. He thought that as long as he played hard to get, he could control her, and sooner or later, the Prime Minister's Mansion and the Mo family would be in his pocket.

But at the last Hundred Flowers Banquet, Shen Moyu obviously didn't like him. He couldn't figure it out and sent people to investigate for a long time, but there was no follow-up.

"Your mother is a little too partial. They are both sons, and she puts the prince at the top of her heart, but you..."

Marquis Wuyang knew very well that killing someone would destroy their heart, so he wanted to alienate Xiao Ting and Queen Su Mojie, because only in this way could the situation of Marquis Wuyang's mansion in the court be eased in the future.

After all, Emperor Mingzhen would not want the Queen and the Crown Prince to live too comfortably. If the Queen's two sons killed each other, or if the Queen became estranged from one of her sons, that would probably be what Emperor Mingzhen would like to see.

"What do you mean, Grandpa?"

Xiao Ting was keenly aware of the hidden meaning in Marquis Wuyang's words, and he didn't care even though he knew he might have done it on purpose.

"Your mother wants the daughter of the Shen family to enter the East Palace and become the Crown Princess. This old minister cannot understand. Qi'er is already the Crown Prince. Marrying a daughter of a prominent family is just icing on the cake. It doesn't matter who you marry. This old minister thinks that the granddaughter of Grand Tutor Du is a good choice."

Marquis Wuyang looked at Xiao Ting's face as he spoke, and every word stimulated his sensitive nerves.

"Grandpa, the Queen Mother wants to use this as an exchange to let Shen Moyou marry into the Eastern Palace? Does she think that Shen Moyou becoming the Crown Princess is compensation for the Shen family?"

Obviously, Xiao Ting saw things more clearly than Su Mojie and knew that the Shen family would never let this matter go just because of a Crown Princess.

Even if Shen Lingfeng is willing, will Shen Moyou be willing? Will the Mo family agree?

The Queen Mother really takes everything for granted. What she thinks is a gift may be a trouble that others cannot get rid of.

"Your Highness, I have also advised the Queen. In fact, I think that the daughter of the Shen family is more suitable for you. Compared with the Crown Prince, you are more suitable for a woman with a prominent family background to be the Crown Prince's consort."

Marquis Wuyang struck while the iron was hot and wished he could write the words "sow discord" on his face.

Facts proved that he was successful. Although Xiao Ting did not show it on his face, he began to feel uncomfortable in his heart.

To be honest, he was more filial to his mother than the crown prince, and almost always responded to her requests. He truly respected and loved her.

But what did his mother do? She only thought of the prince when there was something good to do, and threw all the dirty work to him. Was he born just to pave the way for the prince?

"Grandpa, I know what you want to say."

Xiao Ting forced a smile at Marquis Wuyang, and then said, "But my mother is my mother after all. No matter what decision she makes, I must accept it, otherwise it would be unfilial. Since she wants Shen Moyou to be the Crown Princess, I will do my best to fulfill her wish."

"Your Highness, do you really want to be a foolish filial son?"

Wuyang Marquis's Mansion could not hide its shock. He did not expect that even after he said so much, Xiao Tingqun still just knew how to obey.

"Grandpa, we have arrived at the Marquis' Mansion. You should rest early. I will take care of this matter."

Xiao Ting did not answer Marquis Wuyang's question, "As for what you said, I will not tell my mother, so let's stop here."

"Ting'er!"

Marquis Wuyang watched Xiao Ting get off the carriage and called out to him, "You must remember, even if your mother doesn't have you in her heart, the Su family of Marquis Wuyang will always be your home, understand?"

Xiao Ting turned around and smiled. At this moment, no matter whether Marquis Wuyang was sincere or not, he felt warm, "I know, Grandpa."

After getting off the carriage, Fu Sheng had already led the horse to Xiao Ting, "Your Highness."

"Go back to the palace."

"Your Highness sent the Marquis back so late, but what happened?"

Xiao Ting mounted his horse neatly and remained silent for a long time. He just controlled the horse and walked slowly towards the palace, "Fu Sheng."

"My subordinate is here."

"Do you think the Queen Mother is partial? Do you also think that she only has the Crown Prince in her heart?"
