The Valued Lady is Truly Dominant-Chapter 892: Entrapment Operation
Song Ci’s meaning is, if it was truly Bai Shuilian and her servant who took action, then since they have put forward Shuanglu as the scapegoat, they must still have a backup plan. Why not let them go on and see what they do next, and whether they can truly catch a big fish?
"What if we’re suspecting in the wrong direction?" Nanny Gong said.
"Even if that’s the case, there’s no loss. If it’s not them, then it’s Zhou’er and the others who have suffered unjustly, and they won’t make any more moves, so there’s no loss. Actually, if it’s just a simple case of jealousy, that’s small. The real fear is if it involves serious state affairs."
Jiang Fula, however, was not at ease: "But if it truly is them, wouldn’t that mean we’re leaving two poisonous snakes by our side, not knowing when they might strike? I believe it’s better to kill mistakenly than to let them go."
Song Ci shook his head, pointing at him slightly: "But have you thought about this, with Bai Shuilian’s bitter act, do you believe that Third Master is now utterly convinced and doesn’t believe it’s a self-directed act? Without concrete evidence, if we rashly dispose of someone who has borne the Song Family’s offspring, what would Third Master think?"
Jiang Fula was slightly startled and said: "For the sake of the bigger picture, Third Master would understand."
"Jiang Fula, human nature is the most difficult to judge. Do you believe that if we just disposed of that Bai, Third Master wouldn’t just misunderstand but would also resent me, resent the eldest, and might even resent the Song Family."
Jiang Fula looked at Song Ci in astonishment, this?
"A dam of a thousand miles can be undone by an ant hole, Jiang Fula, don’t underestimate a small matter, often a small matter can be magnified by personal grievances, human nature can therefore become biased and twisted. Whether Third Master would react this way, even I wouldn’t dare to gamble." Song Ci, with a calm expression, said: "He now is precisely in trust with Bai, yet you put her to death. Maybe he wouldn’t say anything outright, but in private, he might trip you up, how difficult would that be?"
Not to mention just tripping up a steward, when this person goes mad, dragging the Song Family into the mud would be enough trouble.
Jiang Fula felt goosebumps rising, is that possible?
Isn’t it?
He was no longer sure.
"That Bai is not an ordinary concubine, but a legitimate concubine, it’s even harder to dispose of her without evidence. It’s necessary to present evidence to convince him." Song Ci quickly turned the prayer beads in his hand and said, "Again, if they didn’t set this up, so be it. If they did set it up, then putting forward Shuanglu’s purpose is to make us believe Shuanglu acted out of resentment. Since that’s the case, we can use this against them too."
"Moreover, if these two are indeed the real spies, disposing of them, would there still be others to take their place? Those in the open are not frightening, it’s those in the shadows that are unpredictable."
Jiang Fula was awakened to the point: "Madam means to see if they have any follow-up moves and who they might contact?"
Song Ci nodded: "This is all I can think of. As for what to do, we still need the Eldest’s approval, he is the real head of the family, his mind works better than mine, an old horse nearing the end of its path."
Jiang Fula hurriedly clasped his hands and said: "Madam, you are hiding your abilities, to be able to think through so much in such a short time, your insight and strategy are extraordinary, you are too modest."
Song Ci coughed: "It’s just baiting, not as incredible as you say. Let it be then, these two will have to be investigated deeply, especially that Madam Quan, but don’t be too tight, keeping too close an eye makes it harder for the snake to move."
