"Then, let's start talking about it when I left the Duke's Mansion."
As soon as Lin Xiner finished speaking, Ouyang Mingyue's expression changed. She thought that Lin Xiner was going to tell Duke Ouyang about their mother and daughter's affair, so she quickly pulled him up and said, "Dad, my daughter suddenly remembered,
I composed a piece of music a few days ago and haven’t played it to my dad yet.”
Ouyang Mingyue was proficient in all kinds of music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and he dominated every grand event in the capital.
Duke Ouyang would not dislike his daughter's fame, and he would help her settle it no matter what she did.
Now, from Ouyang Mingyue's avoidance, Ouyang Zhenyang also realized that Ouyang Minglan's incident was related to her, but he still pretended not to know and ignored it. Even though he knew that the Duke's wife hurriedly went out with valuable gifts.
, don’t ask.
Seeing Duke Ouyang being dragged away by Ouyang Mingyue, Lin Xiner also yawned and returned to her residence. Cuicui, the maid left by the fourth lady, was a smart person. When Lin Xiner came back, she quickly brought some snacks.
.
As a pregnant woman, she is characterized by lethargy and gluttony. After walking around the palace, Lin Xiner was already hungry.
"My wife just asked my slave to tell the young lady that the second lady has gone out with a gift list." Cuicui took the opportunity to send a message.
Second Madam is the private title the Fourth Madam calls the Duke's wife.
Ouyang Minglan was the first wife of Duke Ouyang and the real eldest lady. After his death, the second lady succeeded as the Duke's wife, but the third lady and the fourth lady still called her the second lady in private conversations.
Speaking of which, the Duke's Mansion is much more lively than the Grand Master's Mansion. The Grand Master's Mansion only has one stepmother, Liu Suixiang, and there are three women secretly competing with each other around Ouyang Zhenyang.
"I know." Lin Xiner responded casually.
She knew in her heart that the Fourth Madam was not really devoted to her. If the Fourth Madam could not see the benefits, sooner or later she would be blown to the other side like a grass on the wall.
The benefit in the eyes of the fourth lady is naturally to make the second lady feel depressed. As long as the second lady is unhappy, she will be happy.
Regardless of the fourth lady's purpose, Lin Xiner knew that she had to plan something for herself.
The second lady went out with a gift list. The thing that made her so anxious to give gifts must be the case that happened two years ago that she couldn't let go of, and she wanted to smoothen the relationship between the government and the government.
Even if Ouyang Minglan's adoptive father asked Lin Xiner not to pursue what happened back then, Lin Xiner did not intend to take advantage of the second lady. Now that she mentioned this matter, it was not just to scare her.
"When did the second lady leave?" Lin Xiner asked after thinking about it.
"Miss came back not long ago," Cuicui said.
"Well, I'm going to go out first. You stay here and say that I'm sleeping. No one can disturb me." Lin Xiner ordered, "If you can't stand it, you might as well ask your wife to help."
I believe that the fourth lady knows why she went out and is happy to help her.
After the explanation, Lin Xiner left. Since she didn't want people to know that she left the Duke's Mansion, she had her own way.
When I went shopping with Xiaotao before, she also passed by the Capital Government Office and found it quickly.
On the way, she saw with her own eyes the carriage of the Duke's Mansion running in the direction of the government office. It was not that her lightness ability was comparable to Ximen Jingxuan's Shadow Breaking Technique, but that the streets were bustling with people, and the carriage was running and stopping, and the speed was not considered.
quick.
Lin Xiner threw two stones at the carriage. One stone knocked the driver off the carriage, and one hit the horse. The horse was frightened and ran wildly with the carriage. At this time, she didn't know that the Duke's wife had already been brought with her.
Where has it gone?
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Lin Xiner arrived at the government office first.
Of course she would not reveal her identity. She passed by the clothing store and took away a set of loose robes and a hat, and covered her face with gauze.
When Lin Xiner appeared in front of Mr. Fuya, Mr. Fuya was still having fun with a group of women.
"Who are you?"
This fat uninvited guest startled the governor, and the women around him had already gathered around him in panic.
"A person who does business with you." Lin Xiner said, raising her hand, the wine glass on the table in front of Mr. Yamen broke into pieces.
"Ah!" the women screamed.
"Who dares to shout?" Lin Xiner waved her hand, and a stone hit one of the women in the mouth, causing her front tooth to fall out.
"Shut up and go on if you want to live." Lin Xiner said coldly.
"Go down, go down, shut up." Mr. Fuya also hurriedly waved his hand and said. If he wanted to survive, he had to listen to this man's words.
"What kind of business do you want to do with me?" Mr. Fuya stood up pretending to be calm.
This man suddenly appeared in front of him so confidently that he couldn't help but be afraid.
Lin Xiner smiled, walked to the table, and sat on the stool opposite the government official.
Last night, I learned from my conversation with Ouyang Minglan's adoptive father that although Qi Mingguo is proficient in machine arts, such top-secret and high-end technology is only in the hands of people related to the imperial court. In the final analysis, it is only those related to the Mo family.
Talents are proficient, which is similar to the martial arts of the Ximen family of the Qingyuan Dynasty, the poison skills of the Leng family, and the disguise skills of the Yuehua Kingdom, etc. Although it represents a country, not everyone in the country understands it.
Knowing this, Lin Xiner didn't have too many worries. As long as she didn't match up with Mo Zengye, her martial arts skills would rarely be able to defeat her.
For example, if she wanted to come to the government office to see the government official, she would not be hindered by anything at all.
"How about we make a fortune together?" Lin Xiner said.
"Get rich?" Mr. Fuya stared at the person in front of him, who was not sure whether he was a man or a woman.
Lin Xiner was wearing a men's robe. The loose robe covered her pregnant figure, making her appear to be on the fatter side. Her head was covered by a low-hanging hat brim, and her voice was deliberately lowered.
Seems dull.
"Later, the wife of the Duke's Mansion will come to see you in private. She must be begging you for the sake of the face of the Duke's Mansion not to investigate the case of Ouyang Minglan's disappearance two years ago in detail, and to drag it out as long as possible. You agree,
By the way, give her as much money as you can give her. Your excuse is that the eldest prince has already intervened in this matter and it is difficult to manage the money." Lin Xiner said.
"The eldest prince has not mentioned this matter to me." The lord of the government did not dare to use the prince's name.
"I know he didn't. Didn't he ask you to defraud some money from the Duke's wife?" Lin Xiner said.
Mo Zengye would definitely not let the government investigate this matter. He knew the truth of the matter and only cared about her, Lin Xiner, so he would not bother for an irrelevant person.
"To be fair to you, sir, this matter was ordered by the eldest prince. The eldest prince returned to Qiming Kingdom for the first time, and his conditions are limited in all aspects. He just wants to enrich his private treasury. If, sir, you are too selfish to do it, we can still find someone else.
."
Are you keeping yourself clean? Just look at the situation when you saw him just now.
