Chapter Thirty-Nine: A Greater Conspiracy

  Mo Lianbian handed a letter to Han Jiangxue: "There is something in here that can prove it was not an accident, but rather intentional. However, who exactly was behind the scenes manipulating things is unknown and cannot be proven. Perhaps you can have your father discreetly investigate, after all, this concerns the entire Han family."

  "Thank you!" Han Jiangxue sincerely thanked him, taking the envelope handed to her by Mo Li and said: "Actually, I have always suspected this matter, but with my own strength, it is impossible to find evidence to prove that those people are not accidental. Now that we have these, I think my father will definitely attach enough importance to it."

  Mo Li was not surprised by Han Jiang Xue's prior insight into this matter. A woman who could discover the cause of her mother's death, which had been hidden for many years, and quietly investigate it on her own, must have already discovered a lot of evil and conspiracy lurking in the darkness.

  "Someone who can do so many things over the years without being discovered must be extremely familiar with the Han family, and may even be a special person hiding within the Han family. So for your safety, when you ask your father to investigate these matters discreetly, he must keep them confidential and not reveal anything to anyone, not even those closest to him."

  Subconsciously, he muttered to himself that although he couldn't temporarily determine who was behind the move against the Han family, he somehow felt that the person would also be unfavorable to the Han siblings.

  When she heard Mo Li's words, Han Jiangxue couldn't help but reveal a grateful smile. She knew in her heart that this matter must have something to do with Liu Shi, so of course she knew how reasonable Mo Li's words were just now.

  "Don't worry, I'll handle it carefully." She nodded and unknowingly shortened the distance between her and Mo: "Thank you for your trouble, just like what I said before, although my abilities are limited, but in the future if there's anything that requires my help, feel free to command!"

  Mo Li smiled and nodded silently, not feeling that Han Jiang Xue's words were anything out of the ordinary. After a few things had passed between them, the two had already reached a kind of unspoken understanding that didn't need to be said.

  Having finished what he came for this time, Mo Li didn't stay long and didn't need Shen Yue'er to see him off either. After bidding farewell, he headed towards the main gate of the manor.

  Han Jiang Xue looked at Mo Li's departing figure and suddenly thought of something. Subconsciously, she shouted out to him: "Mo Li, wait a little longer!"

  She said as she quickened her pace to catch up, facing Mo Li who had stopped in front of her: "Was it really an accident that your father the king passed away in his prime all those years ago?"

  Mo Li didn't expect Han Jiang Xue to suddenly ask about this, after a moment of silence he still chose to answer truthfully: "Several years ago I had already secretly investigated and found out it was man-made, not an accident. You're asking this because you've thought of something?"

  Han Jiang Xue fell silent for a moment, and didn't respond. Instead, he continued to ask: "In the past, when following Dong Ming's founding emperor to conquer the rivers and mountains, the three great vassal kingdoms that established illustrious military achievements, as well as the four great aristocratic families... apart from Mo Wang Fu and my Han family, have the other few families also had similar unexpected events occur over the years?"

  Mo Li heard this and naturally understood Han Jiang Xue's meaning. For a moment, he couldn't help but appreciate the woman in front of him even more.

  "That's right, in the past decade or so, both the Three Kings and the Four Families have declined significantly compared to their heyday. Among the Three Kings' palaces, my own Ink King Palace has fallen the most, while among the Four Families, only the Zhang Family has been affected the least." Mo Li explained the situation to Han Jiang Xue without hiding anything.

  Upon hearing this, Han Jiangxue's mind suddenly recalled the words Liu had once said: Let the Zhang family become the next Han family! For a moment, she seemed to have suddenly understood something.

  Before his death, Liu's words were tantamount to acknowledging that the deaths of the Han family over the years were all related to him. Han Jiangxue had been wondering for a long time why Liu would stretch out his hand so far if he was just trying to secure better benefits for his children.

  It seems that the sentence that makes Zhang's family the next Han's family has a much deeper meaning! The mother and daughter are trying to secretly control the entire Han and Zhang families! Madame Liu's actions are absolutely not just for personal gain, there must be a more powerful backstage manipulator behind her, hiding a bigger conspiracy than she could have imagined before!

  Han Jiang Xue's mind was sharp and she quickly inferred from Mo Li's words that the three manors and four houses were all under the cover of this great conspiracy, while Liu Shi was just one of the pawns laid down for Han's house, and there might be many such pawns in each house.

  It is precisely because of the gradual erosion and meticulous harm caused by these chess pieces that the various vassal kingdoms and powerful families have been weakening since this year. If this continues, I fear that in a few years, there will no longer be any vassal kingdoms or four major families in the entire Dongming.

  Under the vast sky, who else can have such a big appetite and handwriting except for the Dongming royal family? It's not uncommon for the imperial family to suppress powerful nobles, but I didn't expect that today's emperor would directly target the three major vassal kingdoms and four major families at once, and started planning so many years ago. His ambition is not small.

  It's no wonder that Mother's death would also have something to do with Liu, who had nothing to do with the Han family at that time. If Mother hadn't died unexpectedly, how could Liu have had the opportunity to marry into the Han family and become the deepest and most hidden dark chess piece buried in the Han family?

  In an instant, Han Jiang Xue suddenly became clear and bright. The hatred on her back could be considered boundless now! Liu Shi Mu Nu were just the claws of the assassin, but the real mastermind behind the scenes was someone else.

  Her eyebrows were furrowed, but her gaze was more determined than ever. Even if it meant stirring up trouble, so be it! In this lifetime, she would exhaust all means to prevent those who had designs on the Han family from succeeding. No matter what, she would protect her loved ones and stand with the Han family through thick and thin!

  Jian Hanjiang's eyes narrowed as if he had thought of an important connection, Mo Li stood aside and didn't disturb him, just quietly waiting was fine.

  It wasn't until a while later that Han Jiang Xue finally came back to her senses, raised her eyes and looked at Mo Li with an extremely serious expression, asking: "In secret targeting the Three Kings and Four Families, attempting to weaken each family's power through various means, who else besides the Dong Ming Imperial Family could have come up with such a grand plan?"

  Seeing Han Jiang Xue's expression at this moment, Mo Li knew that this seemingly young girl had already seen through everything, so there was no need to hide anything. He calmly said: "The Dongming imperial family has long been dissatisfied with the excessive power of the three kings and four families. The current emperor feels that such power is a threat to the imperial authority. Therefore, since his ascension, he has been secretly working on weakening the vassals and controlling the noble families. For now, everything is still being carried out in secret, but over the past decade or so, there have already been significant results. I'm afraid it won't be long before these matters become common knowledge. At that time, whether it's the three kings or the four families, their days will only become more and more difficult."

  Mo Li's words further confirmed Han Jia Xue's suspicions, and she couldn't help but look at Mo Li and say: "If that's the case, it's impossible for the heads of the three royal families and four noble houses not to have noticed the Emperor's intentions. Are they all just waiting to be destroyed, allowing the Emperor to suppress them?"
