The second master, Li Yunkai, returned to his yard a little worried. Although he gave a verbal guarantee to Mr. Li, how could he tell the second wife about such a big matter?

Should I tell her directly or let her be mentally prepared?

The second wife saw that the second master had returned to the house and did not say anything. She just sat on a chair and thought about things. She did not want to disturb him. She waved the servants to leave. She walked behind the second master alone and took care of Li Yunkai for the second master.

Rubbing his temples gently.

After a while, the second master came back to his senses and said softly: "Let Changyuan tidy up in the past few days, and I will arrange for him to leave Beijing and take up his post."

"Has Yuan'er's official position been confirmed? Where do you plan to send him?"

The second wife was pleasantly surprised. Ever since Li Changyuan became a Jinshi, he had been waiting at home to be elected. Who would have thought that the second master would tell such a happy event when he returned home.

"I plan to send him to Lingnan. The official position has not yet been determined. It is not impossible for Shaoyin, but it is still certain that he will become a long history."

Li Changyuan is only a second-class Jinshi. It is the most troublesome to select an official for this second-class Jinshi. If everything is done well, you may be assigned to a good official position. Otherwise, you can be assigned to the county government below.

Li Yunkai planned to take the prince's route this time, and it was best to win over Shaoyin. As the deputy to the head of the palace, Shaoyin was equivalent to the second-in-command, so that he could speak in the government office. Of course, Chang Shi was the last

For this plan, Chang Shi can only be regarded as Fu Yin's assistant.

"How to get to Lingnan Mansion?"

The second wife was thinking about Shao Yin and Chang Shi, and suddenly she thought of the master's plan to send Yuan'er to Lingnan Mansion. She suddenly became anxious and shouted loudly.

Although Lingnan Mansion is also a large mansion, there are a large number of indigenous people there, so it is difficult for officials to manage wherever they go. In addition, it is also difficult to be promoted in the future, and it is usually a place where officials are demoted.

"Can you please ask the officials to find a better place for Yuan'er?"

The second wife saw that the second master was still thinking about it, so she suggested.

"It was the old man's wish to go to Lingnan Mansion!"

The second master immediately dismissed the second wife's fantasy. No one in the house could question the old master's words, including the second master and the second wife.

The second wife was speechless and almost couldn't help crying. She sent Yuan'er to this barbaric and difficult place, and her life might be in danger.

When the second master saw the second wife shedding tears, his heart softened and he made up his mind and planned to tell her the truth.

"Stop crying, listen to me first, and you will understand the old master's arrangement later!"

The second master took a sip of tea and continued: "There are some things in Li's house that I didn't plan to tell you originally. Now that the old lady is not in good health, the old master plans to let you take care of the house, so I will tell you some secrets in Li's house!"

Butler? Secret matter?

The second wife was surprised at first, then confused again.

Is there something secret about Li Mansion? Why don’t I know? Why are you telling me now!

"The fewer people who know about these things, the better. Besides, if this is what our family is doing, other families have arrangements!"

The second master slowly explained to the second wife.

Then, the second master revealed a big secret of the Li family.

"You know I have a second uncle, right?"

Of course the second wife knew. Before she married into the Li Mansion, she had heard about the Li family's second grandson. He joined forces with Prince Yong and the current emperor to fight for the throne. When he failed, he was beheaded and his house was confiscated. This matter has been in the Li Mansion.

It is a taboo that few people mention, otherwise they will be severely punished by Mr. Li.

"My second uncle's participation in Prince Yong's fight for the throne was arranged by my grandfather. At that time, my grandfather only had two sons. My father, now the old man, joined the current Holy One's camp, and my second uncle joined Prince Yong's camp."

When the second wife first heard such a secret, she was a little surprised and couldn't open her mouth from ear to ear.

"Second uncle, he is not a traitor, he died for the Li family!"

The second wife seems to understand a lot. Is this the reason why Yuan'er went to Lingnan Mansion this time?

Everyone knows that the second master belongs to the prince. Is it the prince's arrangement to send Yuan'er to Lingnan Mansion this time?

If it was the prince's arrangement, then it would be fine. In the future, when the prince succeeds to the throne, Yuan'er might be able to be transferred back and promoted.

The second master looked at it and understood what the second wife was thinking without him having to guess.

"Yufen, you are wrong. Do you think that for our family, which one is more important, the throne or the family?"

The imperial power and the aristocratic families have always been in opposition and used each other. When the throne was not won, the princes tried every means to curry favor with the aristocratic families and win their support.

When the prince ascends the throne and stabilizes the political power, he will vigorously suppress the aristocratic families and will not allow any aristocratic family to become dominant.

The second wife thought for a while and stopped her thoughts. Yes, it does not matter which prince is the emperor. But if the Li family falls, then they will truly fall into the abyss.

The second wife couldn't help but shudder when she thought of her descendants who were displaced after the Li Mansion failed to participate in the struggle for imperial power.

"You know you're scared! But the old lady has already made arrangements! Don't worry about this, the Li Mansion will not fall!"

The second master comforted the second wife and made her feel relieved.

"What arrangement?"

When the second wife heard that the Li Mansion had arrangements, she felt a little relieved, but she was a little curious about the Li Mansion's arrangements.

"Tell me, how is my relationship with my eldest brother and my third brother?"

The second wife was at a loss for words. The eldest master, the third master and her own master had always been at odds with each other and had been fighting over the power of the Li family. However, the old master suppressed them all and drove the eldest master to the Western Regions and did not allow him to come back.

As for the third master, he is the enemy of the second master. He has taken refuge with the second prince and cheered for him in his struggle for imperial power.

The relationship between the three brothers? The battle between the legitimate sons and the factional war have become incompatible.

Suddenly, the second wife thought about what the second master had just said about his second uncle. Could it be...

Thinking of this, the second wife opened her mouth wide, a little unwilling to believe the truth.

The second master looked at the surprised look in the second wife's eyes, nodded, and continued: "The battle for the throne started the day the emperor ascended the throne. It's just that there are some things you women don't know. As early as twenty years ago,

My grandfather and father had already made arrangements there before.

The eldest brother is both civil and military, the third brother is smart and capable, and I? I can only be regarded as a mediocre person. Why can I stay in the capital? It’s just that my grandfather and father think that I am mediocre. If I stay, my father can remind me.

It’s just not easy to make mistakes.

If I had half the abilities of my eldest brother and my third brother, I would not stay in the capital, nor would I force my eldest brother to leave the Western Regions with someone behind my back to seize the identity of the legitimate son. The third brother has been an official abroad for many years and has a home in the capital and cannot return.
