"I don't know why the Li family and Qingbu are related, but they are indeed in private contact." Zhou Lin's voice was calm and a little angry.
Mrs. Zhou patted his arm comfortingly, "Don't be angry."
Zhou Lin took a deep breath, forced it down, stood up and bowed to Chu Yunli and the two of them, "It's really inconvenient now that there are people following me when I go out. For the sake of the people of Man City, I ask you to help me."
It seems... there is no reason to refuse.
First of all, Chu Feng will become an official sooner or later. As long as he agrees, it doesn't matter if he can help. At least he has the intention to serve the country and the people. It will be beneficial to his official career in the eyes of the superiors. Secondly, they are all barbarians.
The people in the city really don't want to see the people being robbed.
If he refuses this time, Chu Feng will be like this for the rest of his life.
Besides, Chu Yunli wanted to accumulate charity, so she would lend a helping hand if it didn't embarrass herself enough.
Chu Feng thought for a moment and asked, "How can I help?"
Zhou Lin looked at Chu Yunli, "I don't know how your relationship with Li Chaowen is, but can you..."
"No!" Chu Feng frowned, "My wife no longer has anything to do with the Li family, and now she's cheating on her with him. What will happen to her reputation in the future?"
Hearing this, Zhou Lin smiled instead, "Brother Chu, where did I go? I'm not such a shameless person. I just want my sister-in-law to say a few words when the Li family comes to visit. If she can't, forget it.
, I don’t force it.” In fact, he didn’t think the Li family would tell much about their family secrets to a woman who was let out.
Mainly, I still want Chu Feng's help, "I know that before winter every year, the imperial court will bring supplies and food, and a lot of accounting rooms will be needed at this time. At that time, I will recommend you to the General's Mansion to Mr. Chen. You will be the most likely to find something wrong.
Okay, if you can’t do it, don’t force it.”
Chu Feng nodded.
Zhou Lin breathed a sigh of relief slowly and took out the envelope sealed with fire paint from his sleeve, "The most important thing is to help me deliver this. I need manpower."
Chu Yunli said thoughtfully, "Actually, you can tell General Zhu that he is the one who can best investigate the people under his command."
Hearing this, Zhou Lin looked over in surprise, "But I can't reveal my identity."
"You can secretly remind me." Chu Yunli suggested, "For example, write a piece of paper and throw it in front of General Zhu. Just in time, you can also see if he will protect the Li family."
There was silence in the room.
Chu Feng looked at her in surprise, and then understood.
Zhou Lin didn't tell General Zhu not only because he didn't want to reveal his identity, but also because he also suspected General Zhu and didn't want to alert the snakes and let them know that someone was watching.
"But now we are the only people coming to Man City. If you remind me, this is too obvious." He is not a fool, it is obvious at a glance.
Chu Yunli smiled, "If you don't go out, don't interact with others, and refuse to admit it, what will they do? Whether or not you investigate it by then is up to General Zhu."
She was in a good mood at the moment. If the Li family did these things, she could kill herself without her doing anything.
Zhou Lin thought for a while, stood up, thanked her, and left.
The couple returned to their room and lay down on the bed, but neither of them felt sleepy. In the darkness, Chu Feng's voice came, "Do you hate him?"
As for the trick she just used, Zhou Lin could find out something. If General Zhu investigates thoroughly, he will definitely be able to find out. By then, Li Chaowen and the Li family will not be able to escape.
"I don't have much hatred." Chu Yunli was telling the truth. At most, she looked down on Li Chaowen's character, and all her hatred belonged to Lu Qiuniang. "If he really colluded with Qingbu, it would be a shame to die!"
Chu Feng hugged her and muttered, "Stop talking, let's sleep. How stupid am I to talk about other men in bed with you."
Chu Yunli chuckled.
Two days later, the steward of the General's Mansion personally came to invite Chu Feng to visit him.
After that day, Chu Feng had an extra job. He went to the General's Mansion to settle accounts every day. He was paid one tael of silver a month, including food.
Chu Yunli also had some free time, but she didn't go out and stayed in seclusion.
In the afternoon that day, there was a knock on the door. After Chu Yunli opened it, he saw a child at the door, "I was asked to tell you that an old friend invited you to go to Qijia Teahouse."
If I guessed correctly, it should be Li Chaowen.
After all, Chu Feng helped Zhou Rin deliver the letter. Yesterday, he brought a crooked piece of paper to the General's Mansion with doubts about Li Chaowen and Qingbu's dealings. It is said that he saw with his own eyes that the paper was picked up by General Zhu.
Chu Yunli changed her clothes and did not bring Xuan'er with her. This child had a very good memory, so it was easy for him not to see Li Chaowen for a long time.
It's best to isolate it first and forget about it.
The last time Chu Yunli even ate and took food was at Qijia Tea House. As soon as she arrived, the waiter stepped forward to lead the way, "Miss Lu, please follow me."
Chu Yunli followed him all the way to the second floor. The door of the private room in the corner opened, and the person sitting in the room was none other than Li Chaowen.
The waiter stepped back and Chu Yunli strolled over. After a few moments, the waiter brought tea and snacks. This time, the door was completely closed and the room became quiet.
"Why not bring Xuan'er?" Li Chaowen said in a gentle tone.
Chu Yunli spread her hands, "I didn't know I was here to see you! It's so cold outside, I'll suffer if I take you out and catch a cold."
Li Chaowen: "..." That makes sense.
He was a little angry again, "You haven't even been to the teahouse a few times. I said Qijia, you should have guessed it was me. It's okay if you can't guess. You don't know who the person who asked you is, how dare you go out?"
What if it’s a bad guy?”
Chu Yunli was a little surprised and looked him up and down, "Are you so angry and worried about me?"
Li Chaowen: "..."
I don't know when, but this woman has always been able to easily ignite his anger. When she is angry, her mind becomes confused and the things she does are not like her.
He took a sip of water and forced himself to calm down.
Chu Yunli took some snacks and said, "If you want to see the child, you won't be able to see him today. It's not my fault. Who told you not to make it clear?"
The anger that Li Chaowen had just suppressed was threatening to burst again.
"What have you been doing lately?"
Chu Yunli made a serious face, "Now that I'm married, we have nothing to do with each other anymore, and it's not appropriate to gossip about everyday things. It's better not to say these things. Just tell me, what are you doing with me?"
Li Chaowen: "..."
"The person living next door to your house is Mr. Zhou from the capital. I heard that you two have a good relationship?"
Chu Yunli was curious, "Where did you hear about it?"
Li Chaowen: "..." We can't talk today.
She didn't answer anything this woman asked, and she kept talking about things that could be explained clearly in just one sentence.
"Who on the street doesn't know that Mr. Zhou from the capital has a close relationship with Chu Juren, and even helped him introduce him to work in the General's Mansion." Li Chaowen frowned, "He is going to work in the General's Mansion now. I heard that the General intends to keep him and give him a job.
If he has a formal position, he will be considered an official, so why won’t he take part in the examination?”
"I have no control over what men do outside," Chu Yunli replied smoothly, "You also know this."
Li Chaowen thought thoughtfully. This woman had been sleeping with him for three years. She had a gentle temperament and was kind to him, but she was timid. She didn't know a single word. Even if she told her about the outside world, she didn't understand. "Then you
Have you ever heard him talking to Mr. Zhou?"
"No!" Chu Yunli continued, "Xuan'er can't live without anyone. I have to keep an eye on him at all times. How can I care about him talking to others? Besides, Mr. Zhou is an official. If I offend him, wouldn't it be a crime for the family?
Inviting disaster?”
She is just like a timid woman who only has children in her eyes.
Li Chaowen sighed secretly, knowing that he couldn't count on her. He thought of something and asked, "Has Xuan'er grown taller? Is he sick? Are the Chu family's mother and son good to him?"
It’s not easy to finally remember to care about my son.
Chu Yunli's eyebrows softened, "His father and grandmother are very good to him. He has grown taller and a little fatter recently..."
Hearing "his father", Li Chaowen's expression changed slightly and asked, "Did you tell him to change his words?"
"He changed it!" Chu Yunli asked seriously, "Then if he stays at Li's house and Miss Zhu comes in, will he change his tune?"
Li Chaowen: "..."
"This is different!"
Chu Yunli pushed the dessert plate and said, "There is nothing different. His father treats him as if he were his own son, which is much better than some so-called biological fathers who only give birth to children but do not support him. Meeting Chu Feng is a blessing for us, mother and son!"
After finishing her words, she now waited for Li Chaowen to get angry and the two of them had a few more words before she could leave.
After waiting for a long time without seeing the person opposite speak, Chu Yunli raised his eyes in confusion, "What's wrong with you?"
Li Chaowen wiped his face, "I didn't mean to abandon you mother and son. I just wanted to earn a future for my family. When I gain power, I will take good care of you."
"We have people taking care of us, we don't need you to take care of us." Chu Yunli stood up, "You just need to live well by yourself."
Seeing that she was about to leave, Li Chaowen asked eagerly, "Can you help me?"
Chu Yunli paused slightly before opening the door, "Let's talk and listen."
Behind him, Li Chaowen's voice became cautious, "If Mr. Zhou talks to Chu Feng again in the future, can you listen to what they said and tell me." After a pause, he continued, "These rich young men from the capital,
He likes to keep beautiful girls the most. He and Chu Feng cherish each other, maybe he will give him a girl, but it’s not necessarily true. You’d better keep it to yourself, I’m doing it for your own good..."
Chu Yunli: "..."
In order for her to help find out the information, Li Chaowen also took great pains.
If the original Lu Qiuniang was really good at eavesdropping, she turned around and said meaningfully, "You should think more about yourself."
In Li Chaowen's ears, she pushed it back neither softly nor hard. She seemed a little annoyed by what he just said, and those words did sound like he was sowing discord.
Chu Yunli walked downstairs slowly, ordered the waiter to pack some snacks, and was sitting in the lobby waiting when he saw Zhu Yan, dressed as a woman, hurriedly coming in from the door, her face pink and angry.
"Mrs. Li Er?" Chu Yunli called out.
Zhu Yan looked over, saw it was her, and looked around, "Just you?"
Chu Yunli smiled and nodded, "My husband has gone to the General's Mansion. No one is with me, but me."
