"Xu, Xu Yinluo?"

Wang Simu's eyes widened, suspecting that he heard wrongly.

Just now it was indeed the voice of the eldest brother of Cijiu, Xu Qian.

Ding Cai glanced sideways at the dog slave and said in surprise: "Sister-in-law?"

Wang Simu is Erlang's mistress... Xu Qian said with a smile: "Miss Simu and Erlang are in love. It is only a matter of time that lovers will eventually get married..."

Wang Simu spat, feeling ashamed, angry and sweet. From Xu Yinluo's words, it can be seen that the Xu family is quite satisfied with her.

Her father had never explicitly stopped her from dating Xu Erlang, and even had a tacit attitude. Otherwise, when she came back from the Xu Mansion that day, her father would not have specifically asked about the situation in the Xu Mansion.

Ah, isn't this a kiss for the better? Dian Dian suddenly became happy, her peach blossom eyes turned into crescents.

Xu Qi'an went straight to the topic and said: "Miss Simu, I want to meet Wang Shoufu. By the way, I just came in and saw the servants packing things. Why is this?"

Wang Simu hesitated slightly and whispered: "Father may have to resign!"

Resign? Xu Qian frowned. His first reaction was that after the death of Wei Gong, Emperor Yuan Jing cleaned up the situation in the court to balance the power of the parties, so he wanted to oust Wang Shoufu.

But these days Yuan Jing is working hard to discredit Duke Wei and put a final conclusion on this battle, so he probably doesn't have time to engage Wang's chief assistant.

Is it too early to resign at this time?

Or maybe Wang Shoufu knew that his official career was about to end, so he simply resigned early and still got a good ending.

"Where is Xu Yinluo, what do you want from my father?" Wang Simu stared at him with soft eyes.

"Call Yin Luo and you won't see anyone outside. Please call me big brother." Xu Qian changed the subject.

He came to Wang Shoufu to seek help.

Wang Simu had no choice but to deal with this kind of dishonest man, so he said helplessly: "I will lead you over."

She made a gesture of invitation.

Xu Qi'an and Lin'an followed her through the corridors and courtyards, heading towards the depths of the palace.

Wang Simu wore a light pink gown that reached her knees, and a pleated skirt underneath. When she walked, the skirt and gown swayed, making her look soft and elegant.

Xu Qi'an took a look and saw that this sister-in-law was tall, had an excellent hip-to-waist-to-shoulder ratio, and was very good-looking. In addition, her chief assistant was a daughter of gold, and she was both handsome and intelligent. She and Xu Erlang were a match made in heaven.

The only bad thing is that women who are smart, have a strong personality, and have a noble status are generally very possessive.

It will be difficult for Erlang to take a concubine in the future.

But it’s okay, a good man should be together for the rest of his life.

Xu Qian agreed with this truth and felt that he was such a good man.

Seeing that he was about to arrive at Wang Shoufu's study, Xu Qian suddenly said: "I'm going to use the toilet."

After entering the toilet, he took out a page of Qi-gazing paper and burned it. Two clear lights shot out from his eyes, and then slowly converged.

When he came back, Lin'an and Wang Simu were nowhere to be seen, and only one servant was waiting there.

Seeing Xu Qian return, the villain came up to greet him and said respectfully:

"The young lady asked me to wait here. She said that she and His Highness Lin'an were going to the boudoir to play. You can go in on your own. She has informed the master."

The relationship is good, very good. With Wang Simu as his sister-in-law, she is not afraid of being bullied... Xu Qian nodded, walked to the study, and knocked on the door.

"Come in."

Wang Zhenwen's mellow and gentle voice came from the study.

Xu Qi'an gently pushed open the door. In the well-lit study room, which was spacious and elegant, with a large case made of huanghuali wood, Wang Shoufu sat silently, his cloudy and tired eyes, his calm and serious expression...

..All kinds of details indicate that this old man is in extremely poor condition.

"I heard from Miss Simu that the Chief Assistant is planning to resign?" Xu Qian said with a smile.

"I know I can't hide it from her!"

Wang Shoufu smiled helplessly: "Tomorrow at the court meeting, I will beg for the bones. According to the rules, he will symbolically persuade me to stay a few times, and then allow me to retire and return to my hometown."

"Do you want to resign yourself?"

Xu Qian stared at him.

Wang Shoufu nodded: "Yes."

The feedback given by the Qi Watching Technique was the truth, and he never lied. Mr. Shouxian was retreating from the rapids... Xu Qian still asked:

"how so?"

The Qi-Wang technique page was obtained from Zhang Shen, a great scholar, after meeting his second uncle. He did not ask for any other spells. Spells of the fourth grade and below would have no effect at all on a second-grade Taoist sect.

The Tao Sect's fourth-grade golden elixir is invulnerable to all attacks, let alone the second-grade.

As for Dean Zhao Shou, the Confucian magic book is his only inventory. It has been consumed by Xu Qi'an and he can't get anything else.

If you have to record it, you can record the spells of the Confucian system, but Xu Qi'an doesn't dare to use the spells of the third-grade Confucian scholar. If he uses them, he may not be able to kill the second-grade Joan of Arc, but it will definitely kill him.

A braggart like him, after two trips to the Gate of Hell, he had some inner shadows about the Confucian braggadocio.

"Since you are unable to change, it is better to resign." Wang Shoufu said calmly.

"It's just because of Duke Wei, I'm afraid it's more than that." Xu Qian frowned.

Wang Shoufu hesitated a little, shook his head and said:

"There is something hidden in it. You don't need to know it. It won't do you any good. I'm already disheartened and don't want to stay in the court for a long time. It's a pity that the country passed down by our ancestors will perish in that coma...

."

Wang Shoufu decisively shut up.

Of course, his resignation was not just because of Wei Yuan's incident. Today's emperor is not a son of a man, and today's prisoner is watching with cold eyes. Although he is a very human minister, he is only a scholar. What can he do?

What a fuss!

In this case, it's okay if the court doesn't wait.

It's just these secrets that Xu Qi'an, a small fourth-level warrior, doesn't need to know. If he knows too much, he will suffer from it.

Wang Shoufu picked up the tea frustrated and took a sip of hot tea to warm his cold heart.

"Do you know that the food shortage was controlled by Yuan Jing?" Xu Qian asked tentatively.

"Ahem..."

Wang Shoufu choked in shock and coughed violently. The sip of tea did not warm his heart and burned his mouth.

"you know too?"

Lord Chief Assistant looked at him in shock.

"I'm here to ask the Chief Assistant for a favor!"

Xu Qi'an's eyes, which possess the ability to watch Qi, stared at him intently.

...........

It was not until dusk that Xu Qi'an left the palace with Lin'an.

After seeing the two of them off, Wang Simu went straight to the study, where bright candlelight shone through the paper lattice door.

Boom!

She raised her hand and pressed it twice with her green and slender fingers.

"Come in!"

Wang Zhenwen's voice came.

Wang Simu opened the door and smelled the smell of burning paper. He looked sideways and saw his father Wang Zhenwen sitting at the round table with a stack of books, several paintings, and calligraphy on his lap.

Throw it into the brazier at your feet.

"Dad, what are you burning?"

Wang Simulian walked closer and closer.

"Burn something written by a young and ignorant person."

Wang Zhenwen lowered his head and stared at the fire engulfing the paper, and his eyes seemed to be dancing with fire.

"Dad, let me help you."

Wang Simu sat down next to him, couldn't help but pick up a piece of calligraphy, unfolded it, and said in astonishment:

"This, this is a poem you wrote before. His Majesty even praised your poetry for being so amazing."

Wang Zhenwen wrote very good poems. When he was young, he often participated in poetry clubs. For most of his life, he also wrote some good poems that he was very proud of.

This is a seven-note poem about loyalty to the emperor, which is so heart-stirring.

After being praised by Yuan Jing, Wang Zhenwen was very proud, framed it and hung it on the wall, where it stayed for nearly thirty years.

"Burn it."

Wang Zhenwen snatched the poem from his daughter's hand and threw it into the brazier. The flames instantly rose and engulfed the calligraphy painting, which was even older than Wang Simu.
