Chapter 156.3 – Changeable Situation
“Up next, there will be a messy change in power in the capital,” Fu Wu Tian, who personally directed this event, sat back and watched the show from his mansion.
An Zi Ran heard him say this as soon as he came in, and he asked, “When did you plant people in Prince Wu’s Mansion? Did you plant people in other mansions too?”
Fu Wu Tian pulled him onto his lap.
An Zi Ran struggled for a while before he successfully sat on the chair next to him.

“Although I have been at the border for a long time, I also know that Emperor Chong Ming regards me as a thorn in his side. If I don’t make preparations as soon as possible, it will be too late when I come back.”
This made sense. Moreover, Fu Wu Tian was not in Jun Zi City at the time, so no one would suspect him.
An Zi Ran couldn’t help being surprised. In fact, he didn’t think the matter would become such a big thing. He just wanted to teach Fu Yuan Wu a lesson. He was a very narrow-minded person. Fu Yuan Wu made him unhappy before, so when he got a chance to get back at the other person, of course he would make good use of it.
It’s just that Fu Yuan Wu was so impulsive and arrogant that he personally pushed away the Pu family. Not many families would be willing to rely on him in the future now that they’ve seen what he had done. He had the best chance of inheriting the throne, but he was no longer in the dominant position.
Pu Song Yong was not a very smart person, but his father Pu Zhen Cheng was.
After the collapse of the Pu family, he had been bedridden, but that didn’t mean he was blind to what was going on outside the window. He also knew how ruthless and unrighteous Fu Yuan Wu was, so it was impossible not to be angry.

Pu Zhen Cheng did not tell Pu Song Yong to immediately go and gather Fu Yuan Wu’s secrets. Instead, he too him to go seek out Fu Yuan Cheng and asked him to protect them in exchange for Fu Yuan Wu’s secrets, because with Fu Yuan Wu’s ruthlessness, he would definitely send people to kill them to silence them.
Fu Yuan Cheng readily agreed.
He had been waiting for this pair of father and son to come to him for a long time now, and he knew that they would definitely seek him out.
He was undoubtedly a better choice than Fu Yuan Yang, who has an irritable personality, was unstable and might go back on his word at any time.
Zhang Sun Cheng De soon learned the news that the two had taken refuge with Fu Yuan Cheng. When Fu Yuan Wu visited him, he immediately summoned him to the study. Facing this impulsive grandson, the prime minister felt that his actions were getting more and more ridiculous. He knew that this was because the second prince and third prince brought him a lot of pressure, but he was still getting more and more disappointed in him.
“Do you know where you went wrong?”
Fu Yuan Wu said arrogantly: “Grandfather wants to say that I shouldn’t push back when the Pu family is in decline, right? Then you can rest assured that the Pu family is of no use anymore. Even if they turn to Fu Yuancheng, so what? They’re just two people who think they’ve got information that they can use against me, but I’ve never told them my real secrets.”
Confidence was a good thing, but Zhang Sun Cheng De did not feel any relief.
The Pu family was in decline, but the two forebears of the Pu family were not dead yet. They were both long-lived people. It’s just that they’ve retired to live in seclusion. So as long as Pu Zhen Cheng’s princess mother was still alive, the Pu family could still make a comeback.

But Fu Yuan Wu did not know what Zhang Sun Cheng De was thinking. He only felt that his grandfather was unreasonable. It was just a down and out Pu family. What could those few people do to him? He was the legitimate son of an imperial family, the son of the Empress of Da Ya, and the grandson of the leader of hundreds of officials. So what if he didn’t have one measly Pu family on his side? As long as he married a few more daughters of powerful officials in court, he could easily make up for the loss, right?
The overconfident Fu Yuan Wu did not foresee the future at all.
By chance, Pu Song Yong had learned about one of Fu Yuan Wu’s big secrets a year ago. At that time, his daughter was already married to Fu Yuan Wu, so there was no way he could blurt out the secret. Thus, after discussing it with his father, he decided to keep the secret buried deep in his heart, and except for his father, he did not tell his wife or daughter about the secret.
Now they no longer have any misgivings, and this secret was the greatest thing they could rely on.
