Chapter 41

"This..." Aunt Sun was sweating in cold sweat, her lips moved, and she couldn't squeeze out a word for a while.

"Sun, what's wrong with you?" The old lady frowned in confusion.

Aunt Sun refuted that she had never said anything to support the second master's family in Beijing. But she contradicted the old lady in person and confessed that she was the mistress of the family and could not afford it!

But if she doesn't refute immediately, isn't she going to take the blame?

What Chu Cailiang is most afraid of is that the old lady refused to leave when she came, and even attracted her second brother and third sister's family. Now the old lady is catching on her randomly. Isn't this killing her?

"Mom, I'm going to pack my luggage now," Chu Caijun said happily. "Huilan has long envied the prosperity of the capital and said she wanted to take the children to see it. Now my elder brother's family doesn't have to worry about food and accommodation. They still jumped up even if they know this good thing?"

The old lady's attention was diverted and she nodded repeatedly, "Go, go, bring all the children. By the way, you can bring a letter to Qiaoqiao's house when you go back, and ask her to bring Brother Chi and Brother Chuang to your elder brother's house. I haven't seen Qiaoqiao for more than half a year, and I miss you very much."

Chu Qiaoqiao is the third daughter of the old lady, and she is most loved. She is also the one with her two sons Gao Chi and Gao Chuang.

"Hey, I know, my son will set off now."

The old lady nodded with a smile, sent Chu Cailiang out, and praised Aunt Sun in front of everyone, making Aunt Sun's face pale and shaky.

Who is the one who hurt her? Is it Wang? Or is the old lady deliberately trying to cling to her?

That night, when Chu Cailiang slapped her in the mouth furiously and made blood flow from the corner of her mouth, she didn't understand what was going on.

***

"This lady, it's not our Lord Wang who is willing to see you." The butler from the Left Minister of Justice of the Ministry of Justice politely saluted Chu Junlan.

"Young Master Ye has a good friend to us. You are recommended by Mr. Ye again. We should treat you. But now something big has happened in the court. Lord Wang has been busy for two days and has not been home. He really has no time to take care of him. I am really sorry."

Chu Junlan was a little surprised, "Dare you ask the housekeeper, what big thing happened to the court, and he actually called the lord so busy?"

"Oh, this is not a secret. A fraud case broke out in the court. The emperor was furious. Jin Kecai was mixed with a lot of water. Now the whole court is in panic. We lords really don't have the energy to do anything else now."

Chu Junlan nodded in understanding, carved the letter Ye Yijian gave her, and left the Minister of Justice's Mansion.

Yuan Kanghu is still detained in the Ministry of Justice, and the day of the execution is approaching. If she wants to investigate the cause of her biological mother's death, she must not let Yuan Kanghu go.

Chu Junlan wanted to find out more information, so he went directly to the teahouse last time and heard about the storyteller.

The storyteller indeed talked about this fraud case.

"...Or it is said that Fu Dacaizi is a genius. If Fu Caizi's manifesto did not have Fu Caizi's manifesto, the emperor was blinded by others, so how could he investigate this matter strictly?"

"Students studied hard, but some people bought the exam questions at high prices and bought articles for money. They could be on the list without any effort. How can this be fair to poor students? There are so many dark stories in the imperial examination, which is simply too numerous to write..."

"Although a piece of article by Fu Dacaizi was exchanged for three days of parade, it benefited the literati all over the world!"

The storyteller's mouth flew everywhere.

The audience below were excited and cheered.

Chu Junlan raised his eyebrows.

Unexpectedly, Fu Zhiheng had such great energy.

The last time she saw him parade, she felt strange, and felt that the emperor's punishment for him was not like punishment, but like commendation.

Chu Junlan took a bite of tea, gently lit the table with her fingers, and carefully analyzed the whole story of the matter, she seemed to understand everything.

She knew why people like Fu Zhiheng who are talented, knowledgeable and courageous have stopped at the exams many times.

He is the emperor's sword and the mouthpiece of injustice in the world.

The Emperor is using him!

Such a person may not be easy to deal with when he enters the court, and may even be disturbed by the wind and rain. However, using him in this way, the emperor can achieve his own goals and win the reputation of a benevolent monarch.

"He's also a poor person." Chu Junlan tsk twice.

However, she seemed to have found a way to overturn the case.

Chu Junlan finished the remaining tea in one bite and stood up to go to the eldest princess's mansion.

The in charge saw Chu Junlan coming to the door, and was very happy and said respectfully: "Miss 3, you are here just right. Mr. Ye felt a little uncomfortable when he woke up early this morning. The eldest princess also said she wanted to invite you."

"Why are you feeling uncomfortable? I looked at Juya at the meeting in the past." Chu Junlan quickly walked towards the inner house.

"Not that, the eldest princess said the same thing," the chief officer followed Chu Junlan's pace. "Mr. Ye didn't eat much yesterday and didn't sleep well at night. He got up early today and was dying. He had no strength and was lazy to eat. He was even lazy to eat. The villain was really worried when he saw it. The eldest princess had been guarding Mr. Ye today, but he didn't dare to leave for a moment, for fear that the disease would be off again."

Chu Junlan nodded, "It's not important, I see, it shouldn't be a big deal."

"Hey." I finally got a clear idea in my mind and guided the way forward with diligent guidance.

The eldest princess personally welcomed Chu Junlan into the bedroom.

Ye Yijian was wearing a snow-white cross-collared shirt, and her long hair was loosely resting on a dark purple brocade pillow. The brocade quilt of the same color covered her waist and abdomen. Her complexion looked very pale, and she looked like a sick and beautiful man.

But when he saw Chu Junlan coming, he still forced himself to sit up straight and said with a smile: "You are here."

When Chu Junlan saw his complexion, his face curled up. He walked to the couch a few steps and pinched his wrist.

Seeing her so impatient, Ye Yijian smiled and said, "It's okay, maybe I felt the cold yesterday."

"Don't talk."

Ye Yijian was suffocated by the training and smiled helplessly. Looking at her long eyelashes and focusing on her pulse, she felt a little joy in her heart.

If it were in the past, it would be extremely easy not to speak, but now, he can't help but want to chat with her. Perhaps it was because of Juya's discovery of her talent at the meeting that he would attach great importance to it.

Ye Yijian was distracted when he suddenly felt his fingertips numb. He looked down and saw Chu Junlan piercing his finger with a silver needle and twisting away a drop of black blood beads.

"This..." The eldest princess stretched her neck and looked here. She was about to exclaim when she was stopped by Chu Junlan with a look.

He twisted the black blood from his fingertips, put it on his nose and sniffed it, and then stuck out his tongue to taste it.

Seeing her move, Ye Yijian's face became hot.

"Miss Three, you..."

Chu Junlan ignored him and said with a smile: "Grand Princess Ye has improved her health. The person who is responsible for serving food and daily life is of great contribution. Why don't the eldest princess invite people to her and give her a reward in person today?"

The eldest princess was stunned and vaguely understood something.

"You are talking." I looked at the maid outside gently, and the eldest princess's voice was slow, "Have you heard Miss Chu San's words? Let me pass on the message and let everyone serve Jianer come. I will give you a great reward."

"Yes." A maid immediately went down happily to pass the message.

Chu Junlan turned around and faced the eldest princess and Ye Yijian, but did not explain. He just took a silver needle, pierced Ye Yijian's fingertips and toes, squeezed out the black blood bit by bit, wiped the blood with a snow-white handkerchief, and then used the silver needle to pick the acupoint to protect his heart. He turned to the side and opened a prescription and handed it to the eldest princess.

"I'll prepare immediately. This is a medicine soup for bathing."

The eldest princess nodded, pinched Chu Junlan's hand with gratitude, and immediately called her confidant nanny to do the matter.

Soon, the in charge brought all the maids and mothers who served Ye Yijian, as well as several palace ladies and women who were rewarded by the palace and the mothers who worked in the kitchen.

I heard that there was a reward, and everyone's face was filled with a happy smile, and the room was standing in the spacious bright hall outside Ye Yijian's bedroom.

Chu Junlan walked between the crowd with his hands behind his back, and finally stood beside a maid who was in the age of peach and plum blossoms.

"What kind of fragrance do you use on my sister? It smells so good." Chu Junlan asked with a smile.
