Wang Xifeng dismissed Jiao Shun with a double entendre, and soon started chatting with Lin Daiyu, Xu and others who came out. After the rain and dew had passed and the greetings had passed, she proposed to go in and visit Xing Xiuyan.

From Mrs. Xing's point of view, she is Xing Xiuyan's cousin-in-law. It is not an exaggeration to come to visit in the name of her mother-in-law, so Mrs. Xu did not stop her.

However, Mrs. Xu did not stop her, but Lin Daiyu stepped forward to stop Wang Xifeng and said with a smile: "We are talking to each other inside, why would my sister-in-law be a bad guest?"

Wang Xifeng was actually worried that something had gone wrong with the money she had invested, so when she heard that Jiao Shun had not been able to follow him south, she couldn't help but ran over and wanted to ask questions face to face.

But of course she couldn't tell the truth in front of Lin Daiyu, so she said in a half-joking, half-perfunctory manner: "You will know when my sister becomes a mother. Giving birth to a child is very damaging to your vitality. You should rest first."

But we can’t just let the young couple make out endlessly.”

With this excuse, she was able to get past Sister Lin and enter the south room of the east wing. This place was originally where the night watch maids rested, but now it was temporarily used as a delivery room.

As soon as she entered the door, Wang Xifeng saw Jiao Shun half-hugging Xing Xiuyan, holding Xing Xiuyan carefully feeding him water. He held it in his mouth for fear of melting, and held it in his hand for fear of breaking. This immediately aroused her jealousy.

Sheng.

She had always been extremely possessive, and although she knew rationally that even if she had a relationship with Jiao Shun, this monkey would not be easily controllable by her, she still couldn't see him getting closer to others.

"Cough~"

Wang Xifeng first coughed slightly to startle the two of them, and then said with a double meaning that seemed to be a smile but not a smile: "My sister has just passed through the gate of hell, but she will never be able to get involved with a man, so why not lie down and have a good time to recuperate, and I will lend Brother Shun for a while."

Is it okay for me to do this?"

Xing Xiuyan vaguely heard something was wrong, but she didn't show it at all. She smiled weakly and said, "Sister-in-law is joking, how can I be our master's master?"

Jiao Shun glanced at Wang Xifeng, then carefully helped Xing Xiuyan lie down, then moved the cradle to the bedside, and said softly: "Watch the baby to sleep for a while. If she cries, ask Siqi and the others to call the wet nurse.

Come in and take care of it."

After saying that, he carefully wiped off the fine sweat on her temples, then stood up and said to Wang Xifeng: "The second grandma came to the door at this time. I guess it is for the business of the Taiwei Mansion, right? Come on, let's go outside and talk."

Under the banner of the Wang family, firstly, it prevents anyone from finding fault in the Rongguo Mansion, and secondly, it makes it easier for others to pretend to be powerful in the south.

Wang Xifeng was exposed by him, so she could no longer be sarcastic and unreasonable. She followed Jiao Shun to the living room obediently and was about to ask why he didn't go south. The money she invested was still safe.

Unexpectedly, Jiao Shun walked straight into the bedroom of the north room without stopping.

Wang Xifeng looked at Ping'er who was guarding the hall and talking to Yuanyang, hesitated for a moment, and then quickly followed in.

As soon as she entered the door, she felt her waist tighten, and before she could utter a exclamation, her cherry was tightly blocked by Jiao Shun.

Wang Xifeng only half-pushed and half-struggled twice, and then started to welcome her with enthusiasm.

But after their lips parted for a long time, she immediately lowered her face and started to accuse her: "Who do you think I am? If you dare to be so disrespectful again, watch me... ugh!"

Before Wang Xifeng could finish his words, Jiao Shun launched a second raid.

And this time, he used both hands and mouth. In no time, a woman who knows how to eat marrow kneaded the dough until it was as soft and soft as noodles. Danfeng, who was always strong and fierce, only had a puddle of spring water in his eyes.

"You dead man~"

Their lips parted again, Wang Xifeng gave Jiao Shun a soft blow on the shoulder with a soft breath, and said coquettishly: "We just have a baby in the family and he is acting like this. If Sister Xing finds out, I don't know how she will be sad."

Jiao Shun saw that she was telling the truth, so he became even more anxious, biting Sister Feng's ear and said: "Good man, since we left the boiler room, I haven't had a private meeting with you alone. Now it's so easy to do so."

See, let alone make anyone sad, even if the Emperor is upset, I can’t care less!”

These words were scummy and greasy, but Wang Xifeng was very impressed by them.

Listening to Jiao Shun mention the boiler room again, she recalled the scene that day. At that time, she only blamed Jiao Shun for being rude and inconsiderate, but now she only remembers the relief of life and death.

So he rubbed his mature body more and more in Jiao Shun's arms, and snorted coldly: "Humph~ You can only coax those little girls, but how dare you use it to deceive me?"

"Conscience of heaven and earth!"

Jiao Shun straightened his back and said with a double entendre: "How 'honest' I am, doesn't the second grandma still know?"

"Bah~"

Wang Xifeng bit her silver teeth lightly and spat, but she couldn't help but stretched out her hand to explore downwards.

The two of them chatted for a long time, until the voice of Si Qi calling for the nanny came from outside. Wang Xifeng finally remembered the business, and while wiping her hands with a handkerchief, she asked: "What kind of lawsuit have you gotten into?

Being chased back?"

"Someone from the Ministry of Rites is trying to trick me, and I'm the one who's suffering."

Jiao Shun naturally knew what she was concerned about, and while retying his belt, he explained: "Don't worry, I have already made arrangements for what should be arranged. In two days, you will arrange for Jia Yun to go south with him. He is a shrewd person."

If there is something that cannot be dealt with, I will report it to Jingli as soon as possible."

"After all, it's not as safe as if you came over in person."

Wang Xifeng said, and then said: "That's all, we have made a contract anyway. If we lose compensation at that time, I will just look for you!"

"Second Grandma, just don't worry."

Jiao Shun chuckled and said, "You already have this handle in your hands, how dare you go back on your word?"

"Bah~ Can't spit out ivory from a dog's mouth!"

Wang Xifeng laughed and cursed, broke away from Jiao Shun's arms and walked out. Before going out, she turned around charmingly and said: "Next time when you are taking a bath, I, Heping'er, will go for a walk in the garden."

After making the invitation, she opened the door and walked out without waiting for Jiao Shun to respond.

…………

Let’s go back to the You family sisters.

It wasn't until Jiao Shun suddenly received the order to go up to the peak and hurried back to the city that Second Sister You heard people pointing and talking outside, and then realized belatedly that he had revealed his adultery in front of others.

At that moment, her red head was swollen and her heart was pounding. She didn't care that the third sister had not completely recovered, and she didn't dare to wait for the doctor to come for diagnosis and treatment. She just urged the coachman to return quickly.

On the way, she was thinking anxiously. One moment she was worried that the Shi family would make things difficult for her, and the other moment she was hoping that Jiao Shun would take advantage of the situation and marry her.

Of course, she herself knew that the possibility of the latter was extremely slim, but no matter how slim the possibility was, it could not stop a young girl from dreaming about a better future.

Halfway through, Sanjie You gradually regained her composure, covered her face with her hands and sobbed.

At first, Second Sister You thought her sister was crying, but later she heard that it was laughter. Immediately, she felt a sudden feeling in her heart. It would be okay if she cried at this time, but this smile...

"younger sister."

She hurriedly put her hand on Third Sister You's shoulder and comforted her softly: "The man surnamed Liu missed you because he didn't know what to do. That's because he was unlucky, so why bother..."

"do not talk!"

Sanjie You interrupted her with a low growl, then laughed and said: "Hahaha, I am so stupid, so stupid, that Jiao has long seen that I am wishful thinking, but I still want to deceive myself...

…Hahaha, you are so stupid!”

Smiling, she couldn't stop coughing again, and her whole body curled up into shrimps.

Second Sister You hurriedly stretched out her hand to pat her back gently, and took a handkerchief to catch the saliva, river water and snot she coughed up.

When she discovered that what she coughed out was actually mixed with a trace of blood, Second Sister You became even more frightened and blamed herself: "If I had known that I should have waited for you to see the doctor before returning to the city, I would have let you wait.

People are looking for a medical clinic where they can have a consultation..."

"No, no need."

Second Sister You shook her head with difficulty, and her voice was rough and hoarse: "I just hurt my throat, it's nothing serious."

As he said that, he chuckled again: "Thankfully, I was worried that he was short of money and pawned all his belongings as a means of payment. I didn't expect him to leave fifty taels for me instead. Haha, fifty taels, what did he think of me?"

Really? Even if she is a prostitute from all walks of life in the capital, I am afraid her price will be more than this!"

In fact, there may not be such a price tag.

However, Second Sister You would not be serious about this, but subconsciously asked: "There is a banknote in the letter? Then why didn't I..."

Halfway through, he thought that he must have thrown it into the water. He felt regretful and hurriedly advised: "It's just fifty taels of silver. If you lose it, it's just lost. What's it worth? Your brother-in-law just gave me five hundred taels."

Look, doctor, he's taking care of himself."

As he said that, he carefully took out the bank note from his arms and waved it towards his sister half-relieved and half-show off.

Third Sister You didn't even look at it, but her facial features became more and more distorted and sad. She coughed and laughed: "My mother always said that I am not as good as my sister, but I always disagree in my heart. Now, ahem...now it seems that I

It’s actually not even a fraction of my sister’s…”

Although that's not the case.

But Second Sister You truly believed that her choice was ten times better than her younger sister's unrequited love.

She was just about to show off when she suddenly heard Sister You ask with a smile: "Why don't you sell it to him too? There are three of us sisters, so why can't we let him make room for the main wife?"

Second Sister You was stunned when she heard this. She was both frightened and somewhat hopeful. If she could take over the Jiao family, she would definitely be willing to do so.

But the problem is that this younger sister of mine has a temper that is neither serious nor serious, and now...

If she gets into trouble, what should I do?

After thinking about it, she still forced a smile and refused: "Sister, I'm joking, what is our family's background, how can we be worthy of the daughter of the Marquis?"

"How can I get the daughter of a marquis? Isn't my eldest sister the general's wife?!"

Third Sister You gritted her teeth, her eyes full of mania and depression: "Our innocent daughter's family must not take advantage of these bad men in vain!"

As she spoke, she ground her back molars, as if she was going to eat someone alive.

The second sister You was so frightened that she didn't dare to answer her sister's words anymore. She thought that she needed to remind her uncle carefully not to provoke the third sister.

…………

Afternoon.

The news of Zhou Long's incident finally reached the Ministry of Rites. Wang Yan, the Minister of Rites, summoned his ministers and recounted the case reported by Dali Temple, and then said: "Because there is no evidence, the Ministry of Works is going to submit it to the Three Laws Division for a joint trial.

Therefore, Dali Temple only confines Zhou Long at home for the time being and does not take him into custody."

In fact, the ministers on the left and right had already received the news, but at this time they still acted like they had heard about it for the first time.

Li Yan, the right servant, was the first to speak: "Since it is just a matter of speculation, why bother to mobilize the troops as soon as it comes up? Since Chen Lecheng [Chen Shangshu Mingli, courtesy name Lecheng] came to power, the actions of the Ministry of Works have become more and more ridiculous!"

Zhang Qiu, the left minister, was the mastermind behind the case. At this time, he helped the Ministry of Labor to distinguish: "Chen Shangshu also has difficulties with Chen Shangshu. This case involves officials from two departments and is related to the New Deal that His Majesty strongly supports. Naturally, he cannot ignore it."

When Li Shilang heard this, he looked at Zhang Qiu in surprise, and then he was thoughtful.

Wang Yan also narrowed his eyes and stroked his beard and said: "In the opinion of Brother Xiye [Zhang Qiu], our Ministry of Rites should also propose a strict investigation of this case?"

Zhang Qiushi deliberately exposed a flaw. He did not leave any clue at the time and was not afraid of a thorough investigation by the court.

If Zhou Long's actions were placed elsewhere, most of them would be despised by others, but since they were for the purpose of "supporting justice and rectifying the origins", they would definitely gain widespread support from scholars.

If Wang Yan and Li Yan intend to compete with him, they will only allow him to take advantage of the opportunity to gain fame. Not only will it not damage his foundation, but it will have the effect of strengthening his foundation and cultivating his talents.

After listening to Wang Yan asking for his opinion, he said confidently: "Since the Ministry of Works has already made the request, we don't need to add any more fuss. When the Third Law Department comes to investigate, we will do our best to cooperate. Even if the colleagues below are humiliated, in official matters

Some delays have even caused a lot of criticism, and the rights and wrongs need to be clarified."

With this mouth, he looks like an old hermaphrodite.

If you listen to what he said in reverse, it is: the twists and turns of right and wrong are not important. If you can take the opportunity to make people angry and complain, even if Zhou Long is finally convicted, the Ministry of Rites will never be the loser, and it can even coerce public opinion to push back.

Wave.

Wang Yan and Li Yan naturally understood the meaning of these words and looked at each other. Wang Yan immediately clapped his hands and said: "Then Brother Youxi Ye will handle this matter. The most important thing in our etiquette department is to maintain etiquette."

Be upright, do not tolerate false accusations, and will never be partial!"

The meaning of this is: Zhou Long still needs to be protected. It is best to classify it as a false accusation. If it is not possible, then it will be 'just'.

Zhang Qiu understood.

So from that afternoon, Li Qing's drunken remarks like, "Is it wrong to strive for wealth?" and "If I can sue those sour men, I will be Li Shun from now on, and your special wife will be Chen Shun" were quickly reported in the Ministry of Etiquette.

It spread quickly to the six departments, five temples, the Department of Education, the Imperial Academy, the Imperial Academy, the Imperial Academy...

During this period, there were countless versions, but they were all interpreted in a unified way: for the sake of wealth and glory, the mud-legged man would not hesitate to pull down the civil servants from the imperial examination.
