Chapter 471: Nothing Exceeds Three

Chapter 471: Nothing Exceeds Three

When Sun Shaozong heard about this case, his first reaction was that someone was playing the game behind the scenes. He not only designed the Wei and Niu families but also wanted to take the opportunity to provoke a conflict between Prince Beijing and the Niu families. Analyzing various leaked details, this was not like an ordinary accident.

Not long after, upon learning of the chips presented by Beijing Princess Consort, Sun Shaozong had a new idea.

Perhaps...

The eldest son of the Niu family was really killed by Wei Ruolan!

The purpose was still to provoke a conflict between the two families, to completely draw a line with the Niu family.

Anyone with a clear eye can see that the ”Dragon Root Case” in the desperate struggle failed to let the imperial court stand by, and the Niu family, the biggest stakeholder, might not be able to escape the consequences of settling accounts in the autumn.

Now, only the Empress Dowager was holding up on top of everything. Seemingly calm and peaceful. But who knew how many more days could that 70 or 80-year-old lady last?

If Empress Dowager Niu passed away, a major purge against the Niu family and its followers was inevitable!

Therefore, it was not uncommon for Prince Beijing and the Wei family to have the idea of severing ties with the Niu family and moving closer to Emperor Guangde's side.

After all, the blood relationship between Shuirong and Emperor Guangde was far beyond the relationship with the Niu family, and his reputation as the head of nobility was also a good help for Emperor Guangde and the Crown Prince.

Sun Shaozong had never thought of this before; it was because the Wei family and Prince Beijing had a stake, and to completely cut off from the Niu family, they even sacrificed Wei Ruolan!

But thinking about it, how could anyone be trusted if it weren't for the Wei Brothers personally being involved in this situation? How could the situation completely turn the tables on Prince Beijing and the Niu family?

“Lord Sun.”

Seeing Sun Shaozong pondering silently for a long time, the Crown Prince couldn't help but feel uneasy and said, "Do you think there's anything wrong with this?”

“It's not inappropriate.”

Sun Shaozong shook his head and said, "But I have some doubts. Perhaps the death of the Niu’s family eldest son was really an intentional action by the Wei Brothers.”

“What?”

“This...”

The Crown Prince was startled, and the Crown Princess was even more surprised as she covered her small mouth. She immediately felt something was wrong and quickly lowered her arms to stand upright.

The Crown Prince exclaimed in surprise, "What do you mean it is an international act by the Wei? Why did he do this? Does he not want to live anymore?”

“Naturally, to preserve one's own family.”

Sun Shaozong explained his brief and concise explanation to the two of them just now and finally said, "The reason why I thought so is because the first condition offered by Beijing Princess Consort was to express their position and completely break with the Niu family.”

“One needs to know that Your Highness's attitude is certainly important to what will happen to Wei Ruolan in the future, but the attitude of the Niu family is even more important. By initially stating that they will completely break with the Niu family, won't it further anger the Niu family?”

“If it is really for the sake of Wei Ruolan, shouldn’t they first come up with some secret chips?Even if they were to wait for the release of Wei Ruolan, it’s not too late to express their position, isn’t it?”

“But they just offered.”

“Either they are in a daze, or...”

Sun Shaozong gave a slight pause here, hoping to let the Crown Prince take advantage of the situation and continue the conversation. At least to let him appear less foolish, so as not to become too important.

Unexpectedly, the Crown Prince widened his eyes on the bed, but he was waiting for the next message with no intention of taking over.

He has quite a big head, but why didn’t he have a long brain?

Sun Shaozong felt helpless and was about to continue speaking when he heard the Crown Princess blurt out from the side, "Or they had already made up their mind to break with the Niu family! By contrast, the fate of Wei Ruolan is a secondary matter.”

It was indeed a waste!

Sun Shaozong couldn't help but once again feel aggrieved for the Crown Princess and nodded, "This is also my speculation.”

“Hmph.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the Crown Prince let out a cold snort and angrily said, "That Shuirong has such a cunning plan. I thought he had resorted to me because he had no choice! If I had known this earlier, I shouldn't have agreed to that shrew. How could I continue watching her play?”

In fact, Beijing Princess Consort might not necessarily be acting. After all, she was Wei Ruolan's biological sister and naturally hoped to rescue Wei Ruolan from the prison. However fierce her temperament was, she was ultimately just a lady, and she wouldn’t pay attention to the twists and turns in it.

Perhaps it was because her brother and husband had deceived her that she made a trip on behalf of Shuirong, as he was currently still under a three-month ban.

However, there was no need to explain these words to the Crown Prince.

Sun Shaozong clasped his fists and arched his hand, saying, "As a matter of fact, this play still needs to continue. However, Prince Beijing was indeed the best person to expose the suspicion of the Niu family. Moreover, as the head of the prestigious family in name, if he can truly follow His Highness's lead, it will be helpful to establish a reputation.”

But...

If the fake nun was not afraid, what was so scary for a big man like Sun Shaozong?

He lifted his leg onto the shaft, adjusted his buttocks, and sat next to Miaoyu. He smelled the faint scent of sandalwood on her body and looked at her seemingly calm and composed appearance, but in reality, he was constantly worried. Suddenly, a thought arose in his heart.

*The most suitable ”method” for this fake nun must be ***! *

Although Miaoyu didn’t have the same telepathy, she had always been paying attention to Sun Shaozong and naturally could feel the sudden obscenity of his gaze.

Her delicate body trembled slightly, and subconsciously she was about to retreat, even fleeing outside the carriage.

Just thinking of the decision she had just made, Miaoyu bit her silver teeth and tried to hold back her discomfort. She sat down and pretended not to care, saying, "I wonder what you are thinking about, Lord Sun? If you are willing to take action, I will never be stingy... stingy with my skin.”

As she spoke, her face, which pretended to be calm, had already turned red as blood.

This...

Did she treat his previous words of procrastination as waiting for a price? So she was planning to sacrifice her body to help?

He remembered during the solar eclipse; she misunderstood his meaning too, and now...

Sun Shaozong was quite speechless, but last time it was because the time and place were not suitable that he decisively declined her sacrifice.

At present, there was great potential in the vast sea and sky. As long as he falsely agreed that he would plead for Wei Ruolan in front of the Crown Prince. Then, let the Crown Prince come forward to protect him; he could then ”unlock” the position that used brainpower.

With such thoughts in mind, Sun Shaozong's gaze unconsciously wandered back and forth on Miaoyu.

If it were normal times, Miaoyu would inevitably shy away from his gaze, but now that she was willing to use her body as a bargaining chip, it was naturally difficult to dodge again.

Therefore, she gritted her silver teeth tightly, not only lifting her crispy chest but also raising her snowy neck, presenting a cool and shy face to Sun Shaozong without hesitation.

Tch!

This fake nun was indeed a rare creature!

Sun Shaozong gave a deep praise and suddenly leaned back against the carriage, lazily asking, "I don't understand. Since you want to marry Wei Ruolan, how dare you use your body as a bargaining chip repeatedly?”

“Don't speculate recklessly, My Lord.”

Upon hearing him say this, Miaoyu sneered and said, "I have already promised the Buddha in this life and will never remarry as a woman. The reason why I wanted to save Lord Wei is just because I remembered that he had risked danger and saved that child.”

“As for repeatedly using my skin as a chip...”

Miaoyu let out a bitter smile and asked, "Apart from this skin, I probably don't have any chips that can impress you.”

This was quite true.

Sun Shaozong shook his head and sneered, "You still have some self-knowledge, but this time you are lucky. The Crown Prince has promised Beijing Princess Consort to come forward and protect Wei Ruolan, so it's better to leave your skin to the Buddha.”

Miaoyu was stunned for a moment and stared into Sun Shaozong's eyes for a while. Suddenly, she smiled and said, "Your Excellency Sun is indeed a gentleman.”

Spit!

Sun Shaozong spat and said with a hint of anger, "Gentleman or whatever, let someone else take it. I just haven't reached the point where I'm going to use lies to deceive women's bodies. If there's anything else I can ask for next time, I won't be polite to you at all.”

After a pause, he added, "And it's the kind of person who never takes responsibility after sleeping.”

Miaoyu only lowered her eyebrows and smiled lightly, with a relaxed smile in her body and mind.

“Stop.”

Sun Shaozong gave an order, and when the carriage slowly stopped by the roadside, he picked up the driving curtain and pointed outside, saying, "Alright, I have serious matters to deal with right now, so I won't send you back to Rongguo Mansion.”

Miaoyu didn't say much either. She walked lightly out of the carriage and gave Sun Shaozong a deep salute.

Until the carriage got back on the road, Sun Shaozong looked out through the gap in the car curtain, and she was still silently reciting the scripture with her palms folded by the roadside.

Unfortunately!

It was rare for someone who fit **** to just let it go for nothing.

Next time!

If there was still a chance next time, he wouldn’t hesitate to swallow her beltbone and let her know that things never exceed three times!
