Wang Yuan saw Sheng Shaoqing's puzzled expression and asked doubtfully, "Don't aunt know?"
Wang Yuan took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Sheng Shaoqing, "It is written by Yuan Jun himself. If I remember correctly, this Master Yuan Jun is the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, right?"
Sheng Shaoqing glanced at the content of the letter, and it actually said that his wife was going to Chenliu to visit relatives, and she hoped that Wang Yuan could do more for her.
But how could she remember that Yuan Jun of Dali Temple was over fifty years old, and his wife was not named He, and she died long ago?
Could it be...?
Sheng Shaoqing raised his eyes and saw Wang Yuan with a look of sympathy, and there was a bit of contempt in the sympathy. Could this guy think that she was just filling in a house and remarrying a relationship?!
Wang Yuan originally thought that he had been generous enough, but when he saw this aunt today, he realized that there are people outside the world, and there is a God outside the world!
Marrying a man who is old enough to be his father, achieving a class leap in one fell swoop, from a criminal to a famous lady, my wife, my aunt, is really not a simple person.
If he had this kind of consciousness, what would this small village be like now? He would probably have gone to Beijing to become an official!
Sheng Shaoqing gritted his teeth and looked at Ji Wenxuan, who had arrived late. Sure enough, he caught the unnatural look on his face when he heard Yuan's letter. Look!
It was indeed a good thing he did!
"yes"
Wang Yuan's expression immediately became more eager, "Aunt, please take a seat."
When Sheng Shaoqing turned around, he silently gave Ji Wenxuan a roll of his eyes. He couldn't make up a young and handsome wife identity for her to make her happy. She had to make up such a one.
I'll go back to Ji Wenxuan to settle the score!
After three rounds of drinking, Sheng Shaoqing refused to go back to the inn to rest. Wang Yuan was actually more active than Mrs. He in letting Sheng Shaoqing stay in their house, and Sheng Shaoqing had no choice but to "reluctantly" accept their kindness.
Before the banquet was over, someone hurried in and whispered a few words to Wang Yuan. Wang Yuan's expression turned serious and he said, "Auntie, please stay in my house. If you need anything, just ask my wife.
There are still some official matters that have not been dealt with, so I will "
Sheng Shaoqing nodded in understanding, and Wang Yuan stood up and walked out.
As soon as Wang Yuan left, Mrs. He immediately sat next to Sheng Shaoqing and asked, "Uncle...really from Dali Temple?"
Sheng Shaoqing glanced at Ji Wenxuan who was in the corner with his head lowered and did not dare to look directly at Sheng Shaoqing, and nodded solemnly.
"Then the case you mentioned earlier will."
Sheng Shaoqing immediately became vigilant, "Do you want me to intercede for you?"
Mrs. He shook her head decisively, "No, no, no!"
After a moment, he hesitated and nodded, "Yes"
Sheng Shaoqing said directly, "Tell me first, is anyone from the He family involved?"
Mrs. He thought for a while and had to admit, "Yes."
After Sheng Shaoqing retreated from everyone, he said softly, "This matter is not easy to handle now!"
Mrs. He's eyes were filled with tears when she raised her head, "Aunt. I know we have just met each other, and it is inappropriate to say these words."
"Can"
Sheng Shaoqing compassionately took out the handkerchief and wiped Mrs. He's tears and said, "I understand. Just tell me."
"That child is the blood of the He family. We, the He family, are all alone. If anything goes wrong, I won't be able to survive."
"I understand, but I, my husband, is a humble person and can't handle anything! What's more."
Mrs. He didn't wait for Sheng Shaoqing to finish speaking, and said directly, "No! Yes! I know that if there is an unjust case, Dali Temple has the right to face the emperor directly, so if my uncle is willing to save him, he can certainly do it!"
Sheng Shaoqing looked embarrassed and said, "But the evidence of their crimes is now certain, so how can they be unjustly accused?"
Mrs. He stared with red eyes and said, "Of course they are guilty of heinous crimes, but Qing'er is innocent!"
It was only at this moment that Mrs. He planned to tell the whole truth. Sheng Shaoqing breathed a sigh of relief, but still made a surprised expression and said, "Qing Qing'er? Isn't that your son?"
Mrs. He nodded, "Qing'er is my son, but in my generation of He family, I am the only orphan left, Qing'er."
"Because of this, I really can't just watch Qing'er die for others and become a scapegoat!"
"For someone else?"
Seeing Sheng Shaoqing's surprised look, Mrs. He laughed at herself, wiped her tears and said sadly, "You have seen your niece-in-law, but he is just a villain who only has interests in his eyes."
"A few days ago, he came home excitedly and told me that he would be promoted soon."
"At that time, I was really happy for him, thinking that these ten years of hard work had finally seen the light. Now that I think about it, it's really ironic!"
"On the second day, I heard him begging Qing'er to take the blame for others, and I realized that his so-called promotion was actually in exchange for his own son's future, and in exchange for it, he was just a rural official!
"
"Qing'er didn't agree at first, but she couldn't bear the persuasion of her own father, who also said that the crime was not serious and that she was also a member of the Wang family. Later, she would use some connections to release him."
"He wouldn't listen to a word of my mother-in-law's words. He thought that when he was released from prison, there would be a lot of money waiting for him to use."
Speaking of this, Mrs. He smiled sadly, "But what's the result?"
"He cheated on his own son without telling me, and now he wants to hide it from my son and he will be executed for his crime. As a father, he probably only cares about his own official position!"
"Then do you know who Qing'er is taking the blame for?"
Mrs. He shook her head, "The father and son had big ideas. Once they heard that I disagreed, they never mentioned the matter in front of me. Later, I really thought they had given up on this idea, but I didn't expect it."
"However, I vaguely remember them mentioning it. It seemed that they were trying to take the blame for their own family members. It was not a big deal. It was just a young master from the Chenliu and Wang family."
Sheng Shaoqing was a little disappointed. She thought Mrs. He would have some substantive evidence in her hands.
It seems that Wang Yuan is really cautious and he even hides such a thing from his wife and refuses to let her know about it.
Well, Mrs. He probably doesn't know about Wang Yuan sending people to assassinate Wang Yu.
"Aunt, although you and I have just met, I always feel as if I have met you before. I know it is very difficult to ask you to save someone, but after all, he is my son. Even if he has made big mistakes before, I
You can’t just sit back and ignore it.”
Sheng Shaoqing smiled awkwardly, "It's embarrassing, but it's not embarrassing. That's it."
Mrs. He's eyes lit up when she heard this, "Aunt! As long as you are willing to save Qing'er, I. Whatever you want, I will definitely try my best to find it for you. I. Even if I am a cow or a horse in my next life, I will tie a ring with grass.
I also want to repay you for today’s kindness!”
Sheng Shaoqing waved his hand, "That's not necessary."
"I just want to ask you, if I want you to break up with Wang Yuan in the future, will you be willing?"
When Mrs. He heard Sheng Shaoqing's request, a look of confusion immediately appeared in her eyes. Sheng Shaoqing explained, "You think, pretending to be someone else is a trivial matter, but this matter is supervised by the Queen Mother herself. If the Queen Mother finds out, don't tell Qing'er
Even you, I’m afraid, can’t protect you!”
"What does aunt mean?"
"If you want to save Qing'er, you can only find the person who Qing'er replaced, and then tell him that this person forced Qing'er to take the blame for him. In this way, Qing'er will only suffer some physical pain, but if we can't find this person
Man, if someone accuses Qing'er of being a prevarication in order to get away with it, then the crime will be increased, and the beheading will become Ling Chi!"
Sheng Shaoqing made a beheading gesture, but Mrs. He was so frightened that she collapsed to the ground. Sheng Shaoqing continued to attack her heart and said, "Think about it carefully, is it true what I said?"
Sheng Shaoqing gave himself a thumbs up in his heart. He had been dealing with Ji Wenxuan a lot recently, and he was really good at making up lies!
Mrs. He lowered her head and thought for a moment, "That"
"I'll try to find out Wang Yuan's tone..."
Sheng Shaoqing nodded with satisfaction. This technique of breaking into the enemy and dividing the enemy from the inside is really effective to the naked eye!
"I will write a letter to my husband to explain this matter in a moment. I will try my best to save Qing'er's life first. What I do next depends on you, niece."
Mrs. He trembled with excitement and said, "Thank you, aunt! Thank you, aunt! If you can save Qing'er, I, I will do it even if I am a cow and a horse!"
"Okay, how could I let you act like a cow or a horse?" Sheng Shaoqing gently wiped away the tears on Mrs. He's cheeks, "Qing'erji has his own destiny, and everything will be fine!"
Mrs. He had another conversation with Sheng Shaoqing, and then took Sheng Shaoqing to the residence prepared for them in advance.
However, when a group of people passed by the side door, Sheng Shaoqing looked at the bustling side door and asked unintentionally, "Niece, why is the side door of your house so busy?"
Mrs. He shook her head helplessly, "I didn't know, Wang Yuan. He suddenly asked the steward a few days ago and said he wanted to do some charity. I thought this was also a good thing to do good deeds, so I didn't ask any more questions."
"But look at my niece, the clothes of these people don't look like beggars on the street. They are obviously idle and libertine. This is not what they do when they do good deeds, right?"
Mrs. He became suspicious after being reminded like this. Seeing that she had made the point, Sheng Shaoqing stopped talking and followed Mrs. He to the residence in the backyard.
"It's a humble house. I really feel wronged to my aunt. However, if there is anything that aunt wants, just tell the egret."
A young female historian walked out from behind Mrs. He, saluted and said hello to Sheng Shaoqing, then stood aside.
Seeing that Sheng Shaoqing had already settled down, Mrs. He felt relieved and turned back to her yard.
When passing by the side door again, Mrs. He thought for a while and sent someone to invite the steward over.
"Madam is well! I wonder if you have any instructions when you call me here? If not, there are still things to be busy with ahead of time, so I will."
Manager Lai bowed down, but the expression and tone on his face were not very respectful. Mrs. He held her head in her chest and said in a gentle tone, "Why, now that I want to see Manager Lai, I have to talk to him in advance.
Can you discuss it for a while?"
"That's not necessary."
"Huh," Mrs. He snorted coldly, "If I hadn't given you a deed so that you could follow your husband around the world, I'm afraid you would still be the low-level handyman doing odd jobs in the He family, right?"
Manager Lai was exposed by Mrs. He and felt a little embarrassed on his face, but he could only say yes again and again.
"Let me ask you, what were you doing outside just now?"
Manager Lai hesitated and said, "I just did some good deeds recently as ordered by my master."
Mrs. He frowned and said, "Are you looking at me?!"
"Look at those people. Do they look like people who can't afford to eat?!"
Manager Lai choked and said in a rogue manner, "Then this is something ordered by the Lord. I have no right to comment, so please forgive me for not being able to tell the truth."
"you?!"
Mrs. He didn't expect that Lai Wu, who used to nod and bow down, would turn into the scoundrel look now. She pointed at Manager Lai's nose and said, "You! Good! You are so good!"
Mrs. He was so angry that she turned around and left. Aunt Liu behind Mrs. He also said angrily, "If it hadn't been for Miss's kindness back then, he wouldn't be where he is today! I didn't expect that he would be such a person who repays kindness with revenge!"
"Times have changed, and now he is the steward of the township government. How can he still be the servant of our He family?"
Mrs. He sighed, Wang Yuan had changed a lot over the years, not to mention Lai Wu.
"By the way, I remember Lai Wu. His wife was also a maid released by the He family?"
Aunt Liu thought for a moment, "It seems so!"
"The Lai family's daughter-in-law should be the maid of the third lady in the past. Why does the lady ask this?"
Mrs. He paused and said, "Then go check her voice and see if she knows what Manager Lai is doing?"
Aunt Liu accepted the errand, then thought of today's big event, and asked tentatively, "Madam, is the person just now really our aunt?"
Mrs. He looked back at the nanny who had been with her since childhood and asked, "Why do you ask this?"
"I just feel a little strange, why does this aunt not come early or late, but why does she come at this time?"
"Didn't my aunt say that? Is this my cousin's last wish?"
Aunt Liu whispered, "It's been so long since the He family's disaster, why didn't the second young master come to look for him? Why did he wait until he was dead and then let his daughter come to look for him?"
Mrs. He thought about it and found it reasonable, "What you said is true. But no matter what the reason is, she is Mrs. Yuan's wife. As long as she can save my Qing'er, no matter who she is or what she is for, I must get this aunt."
recognize!"
Aunt Liu also nodded, "I also remind Madam to be careful."
"Why did the young master actually run away and become someone else's wife? Alas!"
Mrs. He said helplessly, "It's better to just follow his father!"
Aunt Liu sighed again, "My uncle, he... has been... all these years."
Mrs. He sneered, "There were many people asking for marriage, but I chose such an unspectacular one just so that I could settle down and settle down. It's a pity."
