Yang Mo and Mr. Zhang Er went to the main room of the Yang family and sat down together. The steward's mother took the servants out, and Mr. Zhang Er looked at Yang Mo and asked, "What should we do next?"
Yang Mo still doesn't know that some things can't be arranged until there is news from outside.
But with such a big event involving Feng Dang, she will definitely not be idle.
Yang Mo just thought of this when Qiu Tong came in and reported, "Miss, Gao Zhengchun and his wife are here."
Yang Mo asked people to invite Gao Zhengchun and his wife into the house. Gao Zhengchun hurried in and saw Mr. Zhang Er. Yang Mo said: "This is my uncle."
Gao Zhengchun and his wife hurriedly saluted Mr. Zhang Er.
Mr. Zhang Er looked at Gao Zhengchun carefully. He saw this patient last time when he went to Baohe Hall. Only a few days later, Gao Zhengchun's complexion looked much better. Mr. Zhang Er couldn't help but be surprised. Mo Lan's
The medical skills are truly superb.
"What's the matter?" Yang Mo asked Gao Zhengchun in a low voice.
Gao Zhengchun said hurriedly: "Hou Zian wrote a petition, saying that I framed him and ruined the reputation of the Hou family." Hou Zian told him that he was not afraid, but he was afraid of implicating Miss Yang, "saying that I was influenced by Miss Yang and
Instigated by the Cheng family."
The Hou family is like a vicious dog that bites everywhere.
Master Zhang Er frowned when he heard this, "Are you trying to bluff people? Besides, what does this have to do with the Yang family?"
The Hou family doesn't know how to bluff people, and people say that a thief has a guilty conscience. Now that Hou Zian has passed the exam, he is even more afraid of others making irresponsible remarks about him, so he simply strikes first to gain advantage.
Yang Mo asked Qiutong to serve tea to Gao Zhengchun and his wife, "Do you know what the petition is written on?" The Hou family came to threaten Gao Zhengchun, and they would definitely reveal some information that would scare Gao Zhengchun.
Gao Zhengchun nodded, "Hou Zian said that after taking the Qiuwei exam, he and several classmates discussed the Qiuwei test questions, and someone saw me eavesdropping nearby." At this point, Gao Zhengchun lowered his head, "They also said that I
Taking this as a threat, I have already gone to the Hou family to ask for money."
Seeing Gao Zhengchun's face showing shame, Yang Mo's heart sank and she looked at Gao Zhengchun carefully, "Then have you ever gone to the Hou family to ask for money?"
Gao Zhengchun was silent for a while, and Mrs. Gao next to her gradually turned ugly from her indifference just now, "You...why don't you speak? Miss Yang is asking you? Why don't you say anything?"
Gao Zhengchun lowered his head and tightened his hands on his knees, "I...I went to Hou's house to ask for money."
Mrs. Gao's face suddenly changed and she was stunned for a moment, "You...you really went to ask for money. Are all the things you said false? Are they all lies to us? Now you have even implicated Miss Yang...you
..." He choked up while cursing.
Gao Zhengchun shook his head in panic, "I'm not lying, I just... thought I couldn't sue... and I didn't have any money to go home... I thought I wouldn't get the fame anyway... I can't let you and the mistress starve to death... I
I want some money to take back...I..."
Mrs. Gao cried, "What's the use of saying this now? Who will believe your words now that that person has grasped the handle?"
No wonder Hou Zian is not afraid of Gao Zhengchun. It turns out that he holds the handle on Gao Zhengchun.
Gao Zhengchun suddenly stood up, "I... nothing I say will implicate Miss Yang... I will go and tell the Hou family... I..." He didn't know what to say.
Yang Mo fell silent for a moment. She just wanted to sort out everything and see if there was any way to deal with the Hou family.
Mr. Zhang Er was also thinking about it. Now is the critical moment. If he is involved in other things again, bad things may happen. The best way is to clearly separate the case from Gao Zhengchun. Thinking of this, Mr. Zhang Er sighed.
His tone, let alone overturning the case, he had never even entered the Yamen. Although he wanted to help Molan, he didn't know where to start.
When the old lady of the Yang family was here, she was helpless about Yang Bingzheng's matter. Now that she is an orphaned girl like Molan, how capable can Molan be?
In the Chang family, he had to argue with Mr. Chang. In fact, he was very afraid in his heart. He had no intention of overturning the case. In fact, he wanted to find a good in-law for Molan and marry her off properly. Look,
Living a comfortable life with Molan...otherwise, what else could she do? What Mr. Chang said was right, Molan was an orphan after all, and neither the Zhang family nor the Yang family had any backers.
Mr. Zhang Er was about to pick up the tea next to him and drink it.
Cui's mother came in and reported, "Miss, that Mr. Jiang is here."
Who is Mr. Jiang? Mr. Zhang Er was a little surprised.
Cui's mother's eyes flickered and a strange expression appeared on her face. Mr. Zhang Er also experienced this and couldn't help but frown when he saw this.
Yang Mo didn't notice the change in her uncle's expression, "Invite the people in." After saying that, she stood up and knelt down to salute Mr. Zhang Er before welcoming him out.
Mr. Zhang Er looked at Qiu Tong in the room. Qiu Tong also lowered his head, looking unwilling to say more.
Mr. Zhang Er couldn't help but wonder in his mind who this Mr. Jiang was. Thinking about this, Mr. Zhang Er took two steps forward and stood at the window when he saw a young man walking into the yard.
The man was tall, well-dressed, and looked very powerful with thick eyebrows and big eyes. Just looking at him like this, he didn't look like a kid from an ordinary family.
When talking to Molan, he lowered his head slightly, showing a somewhat respectful look. Molan didn't shy away and talked to him naturally, as if she was very familiar with him. A strange thought suddenly came to Mr. Zhang Er's mind.
.
Yang Mo listened to Jiang Ping's words and walked into the house with Jiang Ping.
"Gao Zhengchun," Yang Mo looked directly at Gao Zhengchun, "the chamberlain wants to take you to Shangqingyuan, do you know about Shangqingyuan?"
Shangqingyuan.
Gao Zhengchun felt very familiar, but couldn't place it for a moment. He was stunned for a moment and then suddenly realized, "Miss Yang, you mean...you mean...the emperor...is the emperor..."
No one expected that the emperor would personally ask about examination fraud.
Feng Dang will definitely use Hou Zi'an to make a big fuss.
Gao Zhengchun seemed to be unable to speak, but his hands and feet were cold from fear.
Yang Mo said: "You have to speak clearly as much as possible. You won't lie, just tell the truth." For an honest person like Gao Zhengchun, lies are more easily exposed.
Gao Zhengchun nodded hurriedly.
Yang Mo said: "I will definitely ask you about what happened in Baohetang. You should also tell the truth. Don't worry about implicating me. Even without you, they will deal with me."
These words must be said first.
Gao Zhengchun nodded again.
Yang Mo said: "Now you go back to Baohe Hall and wait for the waiter to come to the door. Don't let anyone see that you have known about it in advance." The matter is urgent and there is not much time.
Gao was so frightened that she could only sniff, and Gao Zhengchun also looked like he had not woken up from a dream.
"Go back quickly!" Yang Mo urged again. Fortunately, Gao Zhengchun didn't know about the Yang family. The less he knew at this time, the safer he would be.
Gao Zhengchun and Mr. Gao just stood up and went out. Jiang Ping also said goodbye. Mr. Zhang Er thought for a while and followed them out.
Jiang Ping wanted to go back and recover quickly, but unexpectedly he was stopped by Mr. Zhang Er.
"Are you from Gyeonggi Province?" Mr. Zhang Er asked Jiang Ping as he walked into the yard.
Mr. Zhang Er is the elder of Miss Yang. Jiang Ping did not dare to neglect and said respectfully: "My father used to serve in the capital. After he became an official, his family moved out of the capital."
He is a son of an official. Master Zhang then asked, "Are your parents at home?"
Jiang Ping didn't know why Mr. Zhang Er asked so carefully, "My father and mother have passed away."
It turns out that since there are no elders, there may be less resistance. This is similar to Mo Lan. Mr. Zhang Er turned his head and looked at Jiang Ping carefully, "Are you serving in the imperial court?"
Jiang Ping shook his head, "No, no."
Jiang Ping felt that Mr. Zhang Er's gaze was a little strange, and he couldn't tell what made his hair stand up.
Could it be that his etiquette just now was not thoughtful enough? Jiang Ping thought like this and couldn't help but look a little nervous. He stopped and bowed to listen to Mr. Zhang Er's words.
If a son of an official listens to him like this, he must have such thoughts. I heard before that Prince Wen Zhenggong and Mo Lan are involved. That is a noble family, even if they get married, they will not like the Yang family. I think it is just gossip.
That's all.
On the other hand, this Jiang Ping, although he came from a good background, his parents have passed away and he has no official position...
The servants of the Yang family's eyes flickered, and Molan's attitude towards him was gentle...
Mr. Zhang Er's face was tense, "If you don't come to the door like this in the future, people will know that you are going to gossip." Thinking of etiquette, he unknowingly took on a scolding tone.
Jiang Ping was startled and hurriedly apologized, "The incident happened suddenly...I didn't think carefully..." The master ordered in a hurry. He was afraid of something bad, so he told Miss Yang directly after entering the door, but this kind of thing is always wrong.
It was easy to explain it to his mother in charge, but Jiang Ping didn't know where he went wrong.
Mr. Zhang Er was quite satisfied with Jiang Ping's performance. Since this matter had hit him, he couldn't ignore it. "Which Jiang family are you from?" He wanted to ask people to find out.
Jiang Ping blinked, feeling that this matter was a bit strange, but he didn't know where the mistake was. Very few people asked about his family affairs, and it would be fine if he didn't tell others, but Mr. Zhang Er was different, whether it was the master or the
Miss Yang, he had no choice but to answer.
"This is the Jiang family of Zhangzhou Prefecture. My father was once selected as the Imperial Guard."
Mr. Zhang Er was shocked when he heard this. Only families trusted by the emperor could have their children selected as bodyguards, which meant that the Jiang family's status was not low.
Jiang Ping still had something to do, so he bowed to Mr. Zhang and said goodbye.
Mr. Zhang Er nodded thoughtfully, Jiang Ping rubbed oil on his soles and hurried away.
…
Cui's mother watched Mr. Zhang Er and Jiang Ping talking from a distance. Although she couldn't hear clearly what was said, looking at Mr. Zhang's expression, Cui's mother felt that Mr. Zhang Er knew about King Xuan's affairs and hurriedly returned to the house.
Report to Yang Mo, "I'm afraid my uncle has noticed it. The eldest lady needs to be prepared."
She couldn't hide the affairs between Zhou Chengling and her, her beloved daughter, Mo Ruomu, from Aunt Lu. Naturally, her mother, who was in charge of the family, also knew something about it.
Unexpectedly, even my uncle has noticed the clues now.
Yang Mo remembered Zhou Chengling's words about visiting his uncle... Thinking about it randomly, he happened to meet his uncle's meaningful gaze, and Yang Mo couldn't help but feel his face heat up.
Some things were hard to say, and she didn't know how to say them.
Mr. Zhang Er coughed and said, "I never asked you, do you have any plans for your marriage?"
