Shen Yanqing's eyes were filled with confusion as to what news Furong Town would give him.
Shen Yingxue had already walked past the door. When she heard the letter from Furong Town, she stopped in her tracks and her eyelids twitched even more. Shen Yingxue felt that this letter might have something to do with her.
"Guo Zhao was caught beating someone in Zhenjiang Mansion. Mr. Lin asked me to help find out the truth..."
"Guo Zhao was arrested?"
Before Shen Yanqing could finish speaking, Shen Yingxue stumbled in and pushed the door open, confirming with him eagerly. Shen Yanqing nodded because he didn't understand.
When Guo Zhao was arrested, why was his eldest sister so excited? Do they still have a friendship?
"How could it be possible? How could he be caught? It must be Song Lian's revenge..."
"Sister, do you know why he was arrested?"
Shen Yingxue looked pale and muttered words, and Shen Yanqing picked up the clues.
"I know...he is doing it for me..."
Shen Yingxue spoke with difficulty, Song Lian humiliated her, Guo Zhao stood up for her but got himself involved, and now Mr. Lin came to Shen Yan to find out the truth for his subordinates, which made Shen Yingxue feel guilty and embarrassed.
"How come?"
Shen Yanqing didn't expect that this matter was related to her eldest sister. Seeing her weak expression, Shen Yanqing became more doubtful.
"Sister, husband, what are you doing?"
Jiang Miao came in with two cups of double-skinned milk. Now that Zhenjiang Mansion was peaceful, her life was free. She had nothing to do, so she went into the kitchen all day to tinker with food. It happened that the cows raised by the people were producing milk, so Jiang Miao got half a barrel to make desserts. .
But as soon as she entered the door, she saw Shen Yanqing's solemn face and the sadness on Shen Yingxue's face, and she felt panicked.
"What happened?"
"Guo Zhao was taken to jail."
"Guo Zhao? That agent under Mr. Lin?"
Jiang Miao sat down next to him. As soon as Shen Yanqing said his name, she thought of who Guo Zhao was.
He had rescued Zhou Ling and Daya, and not long ago he was ordered by Lin Yusheng to deliver supplies to Zhenjiang Mansion. Jiang Miao had a good impression of this taciturn man, and also vaguely knew Shen Yingxue's thoughts about Guo Zhao.
"Well, he was beaten in Zhenjiang Prefecture, and he was also related to the eldest sister. Sister, what is going on?"
Shen Yingxue's face turned pale, her lips trembled violently, and she didn't know how to speak.
"Li Biao, you go out first."
Shen Yanqing waved Li Biao to go out and open the door. Without outsiders, Shen Yingxue felt a little more at ease.
"Sister, if you have anything you can tell us, Miaoya and I are the only ones here, we can help you even if you tell us."
"Yes, eldest sister."
Shen Yanqing and Jiang Miao looked at her with concern. Shen Yingxue took a deep breath and mustered up the courage to open her mouth.
"Guo Zhao hit someone because of me. That person acted dissolutely, bought snacks in my shop, and teased and insulted me in public. The benefactor didn't want my reputation to be slandered, so he beat him..."
"Well played!"
When Jiang Miao heard someone teasing Shen Yingxue, she stood up suddenly in anger.
"Such a shameless villain should be beaten to death. He actually has the nerve to cause trouble for Guo Zhao!"
Shen Yanqing did not expect this to be the reason. His face suddenly darkened. He dared to insult his sister in the place under his jurisdiction. If he had been there, he would have punched someone.
With her relatives standing by her side unconditionally, Shen Yingxue felt warm in her heart and her eyes were moist.
"Sanlang, Miaoya, my benefactor is innocent, you must save him!"
"Don't worry, eldest sister, I will find a solution for this matter."
Shen Yanqing nodded solemnly. Since Guo Zhao was implicated because of Shen Yingxue, he would not sit idly by.
Shen Yingxue breathed a sigh of relief and thanked the two of them with a smile, but her face was really ugly. Jiang Miao couldn't stand it, so she helped her go back to her room to rest. When Shen Yingxue's condition was better, she returned to the study.
"Who is the person Guo Zhao is beating? He is so domineering, so shameless to beat him up!"
"Song Lian, the nephew of Song Cang, a doctor in the household department."
Shen Yanqing handed Lin Yusheng's letter to her, and Jiang Miao read it in a hurry, the anger in her eyes getting stronger.
"Despicable! He actually wants Guo Zhao to die to apologize. How can he show his face? If Guo Zhao is really executed as he wishes, doesn't it also mean that the eldest sister can humiliate him at his will? This matter must not be let go like this!"
"I know."
Shen Yanqing's eyes darkened. He became an official not only for the people of the court, but also to protect his family. If he couldn't protect his family well, there would be no need for him to be an official.
After he comforted Jiang Miao, he immediately went to see Lu Guogong.
When Duke Lu Guo learned about his purpose of coming and what the Song family had done, he became very angry. This Song Lian actually committed evil and came to Zhenjiang Mansion!
Although he has not returned to the capital for a long time, all matters in the capital cannot escape his eyes and ears, and he is also well aware of the affairs of the Song family.
Shen Yanqing learned all about the Song family from Lu Guogong's mouth.
"Song Cang was born into a poor family, but he was cautious and had some talents. He climbed up to Liu Yuan and then entered the Ministry of Household Affairs. However, his foundation was not stable in the end. He could not make any further progress in the Ministry of Household Affairs for ten years and was not conspicuous in the court. "
After Lu Guogong finished speaking, he said, "Ziyan, how do you plan to deal with this matter?"
Shen Yanqing's eyes darkened slightly.
"Zi Yan is alone and weak. Is the Duke willing to lend a helping hand to Zi Yan?"
He just entered the officialdom and has no power of his own. Now in Zhenjiang Prefecture, there are people who dare to come to bully his sister. What if he goes to the capital in the future?
Lu Guogong admired Shen Yanqing very much, and he also liked Jiang Miao, so he was naturally very happy.
"Whatever you want me to do for you, as long as I can do it, I will do it without any hesitation."
…
Beijing
Song Cang left the palace and was about to go home when he was stopped at the gate of the palace.
"Master Wang, what are you doing?"
Wang Caiying was a doctor in the Ministry of Etiquette, and he rarely interacted with him. Song Cang didn't know why he stopped her.
"Master Song is busy with official duties, and we haven't talked about old times for a long time. How about I invite you to Linjiang Tower to talk?"
He stretched out his hand to avoid hitting the smiling man. Although Song Cang didn't know his purpose, he was involved in official circles and he didn't want to offend anyone, so he nodded and accepted his invitation.
The two of them went to a restaurant together and ordered food.
After eating most of the dishes and drinking two rounds of wine, Wang Caiying saw that the place was getting hot, so she opened her mouth to explain her purpose.
"I heard that Mr. Song was beaten a few days ago?"
Coming!
Song Cang understood in his heart that Wang Caiying came here for Guo Zhao. He slightly closed his eyes and put down the chopsticks in his hand.
"Yes, Song Lian is my second brother's eyeball, and he is spoiled by his family. He was beaten so badly that his parents were very distressed."
He kept saying that Song Lian was favored, and Wang Caiying's heart suddenly sank. Song Cang had already guessed his purpose of coming, which meant that he refused to reconcile. If he had known better, he should have kept silent.
But he had to do something that had been entrusted by his friend for many years, so Wang Caiying gritted her teeth and spoke.
"Master Song should have guessed why I'm here. That Guo Zhao is my good friend's capable subordinate. He offended Mr. Song without a single thought. My friend has already taught him a lesson. Mr. Song, please consider my shortcomings and be accommodating to him." life?"
"Master Wang is making things difficult for me. If the younger members of the family are bullied and don't show any shame, isn't it telling others that everyone in our Song family can be bullied?"
"How could it be! Guo Zhao will definitely be punished for hurting Song Langjun, but the crime will not lead to death. You sir have a lot of money, so just let him go, and he will definitely be grateful to you."
"Ha! I don't have any say in this matter. It's up to Song Lian to decide whether he wants to let him go or not."
Wang Caiying heard that he was relieved and felt relieved, as long as there was room for change.
"Then I'll wait for your news."
"If you want me to let Guo Zhao go, you can ask Shen Yingxue to be my concubine!"
