Chapter 1889: Chapter 1891: What Kind of Formation Are You Setting Up?
"Madam, what should we do about Li Susu?" Ming Lan asked after Yang Xiayun left.
"Let Liu go and inquire about the events in the Capital City, and see if she will attend them."
"Yes!"
"Mom, Mom..." Yang Chuxia had just come out of the courtyard when Yangyang rushed over like a little cannonball to hug her. "Mom..."
"Finished your lessons?"
"Finished! I also completed the ones Dad assigned." Yangyang pouted, "Mom, I’m so bored."
"Hehe, if you’re bored, why not play with your younger siblings?" Yang Chuxia said as she held his little hand and walked outside.
"They’re too young; we can’t really play together." Yangyang then asked, "Mom, where are you going now?"
"Mom is going to the study room. If you have nothing to do, come with me. How about I tell you some military strategies?"
"Mom knows military strategies too?" Yangyang was intrigued, "Then I’ll go to the study with Mom."
Once in the study, Yang Chuxia turned some battle formations from her previous life into a little story for her son. Yangyang grew more engrossed as he listened, pulling her to continue the story all afternoon.
Once out of the study room, Ming Lan came to report.
"Madam, Liu has come again."
"So soon?" It was just around 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. that she spoke to him.
"He relies on Madam for his livelihood, so he naturally pays special attention to Madam’s affairs." Ming Lan bowed, "Madam, do you want to see him now, or after dinner?"
"Forget it, I won’t see him. You go ask what he’s found out."
"Yes."
One must say that Liu is indeed capable; he discovered that Madam Li hosts her friends for a game of leaves cards at her residence a few days each month.
And the day after tomorrow is the day they come to exchange card skills.
"Not bad, I’m very satisfied with his work. Reward him with those two plates of lotus root cake."
"Yes, Madam!" Ming Lan said and left.
At this moment, Ye Zi’an had just returned from outside and asked upon hearing, "Are you planning to act?"
"Of course. Next month, Yunyun and Linhao are getting married; I have to handle this matter before then." Yang Chuxia replied, "When you attend court tomorrow, send a message to Linhao saying to go with me to the Li Residence the day after tomorrow to propose. Didn’t Her Highness Noble Princess Consort issue an imperial edict for him to propose at the Li Family? This must be done quickly, or Her Highness might have objections."
"Dear, are you serious?" Ye Zi’an glanced at her suspiciously, "Are you really sending Linhao to propose? What’s your plan? I can’t quite make it out."
"It’s a secret for now. We’ll talk later." Seeing him leaning lazily against the chair, Yang Chuxia asked, "What, have you found the one who burned the granary?"
"Haha, this matter has really become intriguing." Ye Zi’an shook his head, "At first, I thought it was definitely Prince Le’s doing. Later, various evidence emerged pointing towards Prince Le, but it was just indicative, not conclusive. Until yesterday, the situation took a turn, and the evidence pointed towards Prince Ping, but today, the suspicion shifted to Prince Zhuang."
"All these are just tactics to confuse others." Yang Chuxia said, "Keep an eye on them. Truth be told, the Emperor’s poison shouldn’t be an issue anymore; you might consider counteracting. Perhaps their power isn’t as formidable as imagined?"
"What I say doesn’t count!"
Ye Zi’an remarked that this was a major issue. Not to mention him, even Prince Zhuang couldn’t make such decisions, and without the Emperor’s permission, who dared to act?
