Chapter 334 Secret Assistance, Turbulence Subsides
Without getting themselves into trouble, they secretly provide assistance to the side of justice.
After Xiao Ling risked everything to present the evidence to the Emperor, the situation in the palace became even more complex and tense. Su Jinxiu knew that at this critical moment, the Marquis's Mansion could not simply wait passively, but needed to secretly provide assistance to the side of justice to ensure its own safety and interests.
"We must proceed with caution and not let anyone notice our actions," Su Jinxiu and Xiao Ling discussed in the secret room.
They first used the Marquis's family's connections in the capital to secretly gather intelligence on various factions. This intelligence was crucial for judging the direction of the court struggle.
"We must ensure the accuracy and timeliness of the intelligence," Xiao Ling instructed his trusted confidant in charge of the matter.
Meanwhile, the Marquis's mansion secretly funded some upright and honest ministers, supporting them in speaking out in court. These ministers were able to stand up for justice and fight against those with ulterior motives at crucial moments.
"I will always remember the kindness of the Marquis's family," said one of the ministers who received the aid gratefully.
However, their actions were not without their setbacks. On several occasions, the Marquis's funded operations were nearly discovered by hostile forces, causing considerable panic.
"We absolutely cannot expose this, or the Marquis's mansion will be doomed." Su Jinxiu's heart was in her throat.
To conceal these clandestine assistance efforts, the Marquis's residence deliberately created illusions to mislead the enemy.
During an important court meeting, the ministers on the side of justice, with the intelligence and support provided by the Marquis's residence, effectively refuted those who attempted to frame loyal officials.
"Your Majesty, this matter is far more complex than it appears on the surface. I urge you to investigate further."
The emperor began to re-examine the various factions within the court and became suspicious of those princes who harbored treacherous intentions.
However, this provoked a fierce backlash from the princes, who intensified their surveillance and suppression of the Marquis's residence.
"We must find evidence that the Marquis's mansion is behind this!"
The Marquis's mansion is facing an increasingly difficult situation, not only having to deal with external pressures but also having to prevent internal traitors from emerging.
"Strengthen management within the manor; we must not allow spies any opportunity to take advantage," Xiao Ling ordered.
Just then, the Marquis's residence received news that a key witness had been taken into custody by hostile forces and was in imminent danger of death.
"We must rescue the witness no matter what."
Su Jinxiu and Xiao Ling meticulously planned a rescue operation.
However, unexpected events continued to occur during the operation.
"No, we were discovered!"
The power struggle in the palace ended, the situation stabilized, and the Marquis's mansion was not implicated.
After a series of thrilling covert struggles and tense maneuvers, the power struggle within the court finally came to an end. With the emperor's final verdict, the contest between the various factions settled, and the situation in the court gradually stabilized.
In this fierce struggle, thanks to the careful planning and secret assistance of Su Jinxiu and Xiao Ling, the Marquis's mansion was fortunate enough not to be drawn too deeply and successfully avoided a vortex that could have led to its annihilation.
When the news of the victory arrived, the entire Marquis's residence erupted in jubilation.
"It's finally over. These days of anxiety are finally over," the servants exclaimed.
Su Jinxiu and Xiao Ling finally breathed a sigh of relief, but they knew they still couldn't let their guard down.
Although the Marquis's mansion was not implicated, its influence in the court intrigues still attracted the attention and jealousy of some.
"The Marquis's mansion escaped unscathed from this turmoil; we must be wary," some court officials murmured privately.
In order to eliminate these potential threats, Su Jinxiu and Xiao Ling decided to take the initiative to show their loyalty to the emperor, while keeping a low profile and minimizing their exposure in the court.
They presented the emperor with a large number of treasures and local specialties to express their respect for the emperor's wise decisions and their loyalty to the court.
"Your Majesty, the Marquis's Mansion will always be a loyal subject of the court."
The emperor was satisfied with the Marquis's attitude and bestowed rewards upon the Marquis's family.
However, the Marquis's estate suffered considerable losses in this turmoil and will need time to recover and rebuild.
Su Jinxiu personally took charge, renegotiating cooperation with merchants in various regions and striving to restore the Hou Mansion's commercial network.
"Although there are many difficulties, as long as we work together, the Marquis's Mansion will surely regain its former glory," Su Jinxiu encouraged everyone.
Xiao Ling then strengthened the defenses of the Marquis's residence to prevent any further accidents from happening.
But just as the Marquis's mansion was striving to recover, new troubles followed one after another.
Some forces that had lost in the power struggles were unwilling to accept their decline and attempted to sabotage the Marquis's restoration plan in secret.
"We cannot allow the Marquis's mansion to rise again so easily."
They created chaos in the Marquis's business and damaged the Marquis's reputation.
Why are there so many negative rumors lately?
Su Jinxiu and Xiao Ling had to face these challenges once again.
On the one hand, they strengthened their control and guidance of public opinion, and on the other hand, they conducted in-depth investigations into the masterminds behind the scenes.
During the investigation, the Marquis's residence uncovered some shocking secrets that were intricately linked to previous court intrigues.
"I see. It seems things aren't completely over yet."
