Concubine Yue did not dare to mention the matter of adoption anymore, and replied with a half-smile: "It turns out that the Empress Dowager has already made arrangements, but I am just being sentimental."
The jealous look on his face made Wu Enrong on the side full of vigilance.
Although he helped Concubine Yue enter the palace and relied on the power of the Tang family to gain power in the palace, he did not want her to get into more trouble.
Looking at this sign, I am afraid that Concubine Yue wants to join forces with Prince Ning to intervene in the party struggle and seek a big position.
This cannot be tolerated.
He also hurriedly advised: "If your concubine likes the young prince or the young prince in Prince Pingning's family, you can come over to visit her today. Your studies are more important and should not be neglected. Moreover, the young prince and the young prince still belong to Mr. Chang and Nie."
Students, it is really against the rules to ask the elders to go to the post house to teach."
"What Governor Wu said is absolutely true, but I didn't consider it properly."
Concubine Yue looked ashamed.
This finally gave up her idea completely.
Observing the words and expressions, Chu Nanzhi realized that the eunuch seemed to be in a different relationship with Concubine Yue and the King of Dongjin.
Although Concubine Yue is nominally dependent on the Tang family, she has her own little plans.
Lin Jinmu didn't want her to adopt an heir, just because he wanted to gain power by relying on Concubine Yue.
Wu Enrong seems to be unwilling to see Concubine Yue adopt a descendant of the clan, so whose influence is he attached to?
The Tang family or Lin Jinmu?
She hasn't noticed the signs yet.
Since Wu Enrong helped each other and gave them a step down, Chu Nanzhi planned to take Concubine Yue to the house to see the little treasures. But just as he was about to go out of the hospital, he saw Zheng Haichuan and Jiang Xueyi hurriedly coming in.
The two of them first bowed their hands to Concubine Yue and the two princes, and then faced Wu Enrong with solemn expressions. Zheng Haichuan took the lead and said: "I thought it would take a day or two for the prefect to arrive at Luyan Port, but I didn't know that you have arrived in advance. Your Excellency.
It’s time to send someone to inform you about the humble job, and it’s better to send someone to take over the humble job.”
Wu Enrong glanced at Jiang Xueyi coldly, feeling very dissatisfied that Zheng Haichuan had brought him here rashly.
Before Zheng Haichuan came out, he had warned that he would not see the Qi family during this trip. He never thought that something so blind would actually bring the Qi family to him in front of Lin Jinxiao and everyone, and ask such a stupid question.
Didn't he come here quietly just to avoid the Qi family coming to greet him.
He glared at Zheng Haichuan with sharp eyes, and then replied with a half-smile to Concubine Yue and the two princes: "I am afraid of disturbing the people, so I only brought a few followers here in simple disguise."
"The governor is really a good official who cares about the people."
Jiang Xueyi gave a perfunctory compliment and then got straight to the point: "I wonder how the Grand Administrator arrived at Luyan Port. Did he meet any old friends on the way?"
After listening to the conversation between his mother-in-law and Zheng Haichuan in the carriage last night, he always felt that his mother-in-law was hiding a lot of things.
The phrase "Some things can't be erased once they're done, never to be seen again" was still lingering in his ears.
Anyway, Wu Enrong didn't have a deep friendship with the Tang family. Now that he had been transferred away from Pingning Prefecture, he didn't need to be afraid of him.
Wu Enrong was very puzzled by Jiang Xueyi's words: "What does Jiang Yushi mean by these words?"
It seemed like he didn't take him seriously.
He was just a successor to Lin Jinxiao and was promoted to the rank of fifth-grade defense envoy. To be so arrogant is really a bit disrespectful.
Jiang Xueyi curled his lips angrily: "Your Excellency, my mother-in-law learned that you were coming to Luyan Port and went to greet her last night. Could it be that the Administrator wanted to say that she had not met my mother-in-law?"
"absurd."
Wu Enrong said sternly: "Xia Guan has no close relationship with Mrs. Zheng, so why bother her to greet her?"
In front of everyone, he refused to admit his relationship with the Qi family even to death.
But Jiang Xueyi had already guessed that in addition to relying on the Tang family in recent years, the Zheng family also relied on Wu Enrong.
Otherwise, how could Zheng Haichuan, a mere clerk in charge of postal services in the east, get one hundred thousand taels of silver from the Qi family every year?
However, he did not send a message to his mother-in-law when he came to Luyan Port this time. He was afraid that he would have decided to abandon the Qi family just like the Tang family, Concubine Yue and others.
Since he was so ruthless in wanting to cut ties with the Qi family, Jiang Xueyi no longer needed to show mercy to him and said frankly in front of everyone:
"Prefect Wu, you are such a noble person and forgetful about things. Could it be that now that you have entered the capital and become a high-ranking official, you don't even want to recognize your former friends?"
"It doesn't make sense."
Wu Enrong suddenly became angry: "Jiang Yushi should be careful when speaking. I did not meet Mrs. Zheng on my way here."
This guy clearly had ulterior motives and wanted to drag him into trouble.
Who would go out of the city to pick up someone in the middle of the night? People who didn't know it thought he had some shady dealings with Mr. Zheng.
Zheng Haichuan looked at everyone acting like they were just eating melons that had nothing to do with them, but it was difficult to confess the bribes that Wu Enrong had collected from the Qi family of hundreds of thousands of taels over the years, so he had to be careful.
A reminder on the side:
"Master Taishou, you have a lot. Don't blame Jiang Yushi for speaking in a hurry. Madam Zheng left the city last night and has not returned yet. Only the old lady's carriage returned to the city, and the groom and the two accompanying maids were gone.
Traces.”
"What, Mrs. Zheng is missing?"
Concubine Yue showed a look of surprise, and looked at the steady and stable Dongjin Wang Lin Jinmu beside her in shock.
Chu Nanzhi and Lin Jinxiao were both extremely shocked.
The person disappears, but the carriage returns to the city. This situation usually does not have a good outcome.
It seems that some people can't stand it any longer.
It is even more puzzling that Zheng went out of the city to meet Wu Enrong in the middle of the night.
What could make her so anxious? Could it be because of Qi Mochen?
Furthermore, why does Wu Enrong deliberately avoid the Qi family? Is he so afraid that Lin Jinxiao will find out what connection they have?
This is too deliberate. Neither Concubine Yue nor the Tang family is so cautious, so why should he be so afraid of Lin Jinxiao?
Anyway, he is going to Beijing soon and will no longer be controlled by Lin Jinxiao.
Zheng Haichuan looked at the shocked people, glanced at Lin Jinxiao, Chu Nanzhi and his wife, and replied solemnly: "I dare not hide it from the noble concubine and your two highnesses. Mrs. Zheng is very worried about the matter of the Qi family's young man.
, I looked around for help to no avail, and when I learned that Wu Taishou was about to go to Beijing for a high-level job, I thought of going to the Taishou to find a solution."
"Both the king and the noble concubine are aware of this matter. Qi Xiaolang bears the blame on himself. Even in front of His Majesty, his serious crime is unforgivable. What can Governor Wu do?"
Lin Jinmu sighed disapprovingly and looked at Wu Enrong with lowered eyebrows.
It seems that this prefect has extraordinary abilities and is able to be so highly regarded by the Zheng family.
On the contrary, I underestimated him.
After listening to this for a long time, Wu Enrong realized that Jiang Xueyi was suspecting that he had murdered the Zheng family, and quickly refuted it: "What King Dongjin said is true. The Qi family has done many evil things, and Qi Xiaolang has suffered the consequences. What can he do if he is a low-ranking official?"
A group of people who were originally like-minded suddenly started biting each other, which made Lin Jinxiao feel comfortable no matter how he looked at it.
It's really curious that a few big living people disappeared out of thin air.
He raised his eyebrows and looked at Jiang Xueyi, and said in a light tone: "Jiang Yushi, after all, Mrs. Zheng is your mother-in-law, and the second wife of the Qi family is my wife's former aunt. You should quickly send more people out of the city to look for her.
