"Husband, I have always been in harmony with Zhou, the wife of the Minister of Revenue Li. I have always looked down on me when I see someone in the crack of the Zhou family's door. Now, husband, you actually want me to go to the Minister of Revenue's Mansion to apologize?"

The wife of Shangshu looked surprised and retorted.

"Even if our daughter makes a little mistake in this matter, how can you be more ambitious and powerful than others? In the past, Lord Li, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, was you forgot about your rude behavior of being picky and straight at your husband?"

The wife of the Minister of Revenue knew that the Minister of Revenue was not easy to mess with.

But Mr. Li, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, was the favorite minister in front of His Majesty. Her husband had been excluded by Lord Li, so he should not take the initiative to post online!

In the eyes of the Secretary of the Shangshu, her daughter Xi Chuyu stole the things from the Minister of Revenue’s Mansion. Not only should her husband not punish her daughter, but should reward her!

"What do you know, a woman! A stupid lady with long hair and short knowledge!"

Seeing Xu Xian, Lord Xi scolded him with regret.

"Mr. Li, the Minister of Revenue, doesn't like it, and has never been close to me, but do you know that some people in this court can't afford to offend?"

"Li Jiaojiao, the daughter of the Minister of Revenue's Office, will be engaged to the prince in half a year. At that time, the Minister of Revenue, Lord Li, will become a royal relative! How many heads do you have to fight with the royal relative?"

Lord Xi cursed at the wife of Shangshu.

He originally intended not to severely punish Xi Chuyu, but Xi Chuyu did it too much!

"Husband, where did you get the news? Why have you never heard of Zhou's daughter becoming the princess of the county?"

The wife of the Shangshu was shocked.

Outside the study, Xi Qingyan, who had received the news, explained with a smile on behalf of the surprise wife of Shangshu.

"Madam, you have been recuperating in the Peony Garden these days, and it is inevitable that you don't know this news."

While explaining, Xi Qingyan brought the food box in her hand to Lord Xi.

"Father, my daughter heard that her father was angry with Xi Chuyu, and she didn't even have much food to eat, so she specially asked the people in the kitchen to prepare food for you, father."

Xi Qingyan suddenly broke into the study, and Lord Xi felt a little uncomfortable at first.

Because in his opinion, teaching his wife in person and behind his back, although his wife, Xuxin Shangshu, is indeed inappropriate in character, should not be scolded in front of his children.

Xi Qingyan’s time was wrong, which made Mr. Xi feel that his eldest daughter seemed to be watching Xu Xian’s joke!

"Master, this is your favorite black chicken soup. My lady personally made it for you."

"And this fried lotus root is also made according to the taste you like, Master!"

Chuntao put the food in the food box in front of Lord Xi and deliberately spoke up to compete for her eldest lady’s favor!

In Chuntao's opinion, the Shangshu Mansion is really unfair to their ladies!

It is obvious that their lady Xi Qingyan is the real eldest lady, so why are she treated so much unfairly now?

Chuntao spoke up for the eldest lady in her heart, so she deliberately took credit.

"Are these foods really made by your eldest lady?" Mr. Xi felt a little displeasure towards Xi Qingyan, and after hearing Chuntao's words, it suddenly disappeared. Not only that, he felt a little guilty in his heart.

How could he suspect that his eldest daughter was deliberately trying to watch his jokes?

Obviously, his daughter Xi Qingyan has been working hard to manage the huge Shangshu Mansion!

"Master, in fact, it's not just this meal. My lady will treat every meal of the master with caution. Today, it was because the eldest lady found out that you have no food, so she specially asked the people in the kitchen to deliver these foods."

After Chuntao saw that the master was moved by her, she quickly continued to explain for the eldest lady.

"Qingyan, you are busy with so many things all day long, but I didn't expect you to spend your time on these subtleties..."

Lord Xi looked emotional.

After his Xu Xian became the housekeeper of the Shangshu Mansion, he rarely washed his hands and made soup for him. Xu Xian gave the reason that the family was busy, so she really couldn't get away.

He believed these words in the past.

Now it seems that everything is just a quibble by his wife. As long as someone who cares about him, no matter how busy he is, he will care about his diet and daily life.

Only women like his Xuxian will keep saying that they love him, care about him, and never take action!

Lord Xi looked at the food in front of him, and his heart was surging, and he had a different view of the successor in front of him.

He now knows that his wife never likes him, but the title "Madam Shangshu".

He was just a vine that she climbed upwards.

Lord Xi looked at the food box and fell into deep thought, while the wife of Shangshu who was standing beside her was angry because of Xi Qingyan's sudden appearance.

The least she wanted to be embarrassed in front of Xi Qingyan, as that would make her feel extremely embarrassed!

"Xi Qingyan, get out with your soup and water. Is there any part you can talk to here? Haven't you seen me discussing things with the master?"

The wife of Shangshu just wants to drive Xi Qingyan out of the study.

"Don't think that you can gain a good reputation for being filial to your parents by doing this. You are not a filial daughter!"

"After you lost your mother, I worked hard to raise you to adulthood, and you actually took away my only support! Xi Qingyan, you are a completely ungrateful wolf! I was blind at the beginning, so I regarded you as my own!"

The wife of Shangshu originally wanted to use His Highness Su Yiting's hand to hit Xi Qingyan hard.

But now she lost her wife and her army. The wife of Shangshu, who had not received any benefits, could no longer stand the current days.

"Ba!"

The wife of the Shangshu wanted to scold and insult Xi Qingyan, but before she could even prepare to speak, she was slapped directly by Lord Xi.

"The person who was blind at the beginning was not you, but myself! If I hadn't married you by blindness, how could I have the situation today?"

Lord Xi regrets it.

Although Xi Qingyan's mother is not as charming as Xi Chuyu's mother, his deceased wife always thinks about him and the Minister of Rites' Mansion!

His deceased wife would never turn a deaf ear to his official career for the sake of his little profit!

"Today there are only two ways in front of you. One is that I will send you to a village in the countryside. You will no longer have to be a decent wife of the Shangshu. If you still want to be the Shangshu Lady, then choose the second one. Now you go to the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of Revenue and sincerely ask for the forgiveness of Zhou!"

Lord Xi refused to give in and locked all the retreat paths of Mrs. Shangshu.

"…!!!"

On the way here, Mrs. Shangshu was planning to win the love of her husband again for her daughter Xi Chuyu. Unexpectedly, she would even get in!

"Madam, what Xi Chuyu snatched from the wife of the Minister of Revenue today was Li Jiaojiao's betrothal gift. If you are too late to apologize, the Li family will report this matter to His Majesty, and it will be a disaster at that time."

Xi Qingyan mentioned the words "Madam Shangshu in a timely manner."

Mrs. Shangshu likes to use her pitiful style to put aside the responsibilities on her, and Xi Qingyan will not let her succeed again and again.

"Tell me, which path do you want to go?"

When Lord Xi heard that the matter was far worse than he expected, he immediately forced Xu Xian to express his opinion.

"Husband, don't listen to Xi Qingyan's exaggeration here! How could she know these news? In my opinion, all this was made up by her!"

The wife of the Shangshu blindly suppressed Xi Qingyan and her daughter Xi Chuyu, and she was so angry that she was so embarrassed that she was angry.

"The news was told by His Highness Li, Mrs. Li, if you don't believe me, you can go to Prince Li's mansion with me to confront him."

Xi Qingyan said calmly.

In the Ministry of Rites

On the way to the Book Mansion, the guards sent by Su Lixiao to her mentioned the incident of Li Jiaojiao, the daughter of the Minister of Revenue.

"Everyone in Kyoto knows that the Minister of Revenue Li is the most favored by His Majesty. Now, he has another son-in-law of the prince who is not easy to mess with. Madam, you are deliberately spending time here. Could it be that you are going to see our Minister of Rites' Mansion being implicated by Xi Chuyu? "

"Go! Come with me and follow me to the Minister of Revenue's Office to apologize!"

Lord Xi no longer cared about anything else and urged impatiently.

"Husband, but...but..."

"But what? If you don't go today, I will write down my divorce letter immediately. Then you will have no relationship with my Minister of Rites' Mansion!"

When he heard that Lord Xi was going to divorce his wife, the wife of Shangshu had no room for anything except to apologize to Zhou.

"Yes, I'll go now!"

The wife of the Shangshu was driven to the shelves and could no longer be delayed. Finally, she gritted her teeth and chose to take Xi Chuyu to the Minister of Revenue's Office to apologize.

In the study, Xi Qingyan saw that the matter had been resolved and was about to leave, but was stopped by her father.

"Qingyan, you just said that Your Highness Li told you about the marriage between the Minister of Revenue and the Prince?"

Mr. Xi's change was just angry with the wife of Shangshu, and his angrily voiced Xi Qingyan approached the words.

"Father asked you, what is Your Highness Li's attitude towards you?"

Although Lord Xi asked tactfully, everything he thought was written on his face.

Lord Xi also wants to become a royal relative like Lord Li of the Ministry of Revenue. Although the Ministry of Rites is not as important as the Ministry of Revenue in His Majesty, if his daughter Xi Qingyan can marry His Highness Li, then the princess who comes out of the Minister of Rites’ Mansion will be the princess!

One person can attain enlightenment and ascend to heaven.

At that time, even if the Minister of Revenue doesn’t like him, he will be respectful to him when meeting him!

"…"

Seeing that Mr. Xi was like this, Xi Qingyan sneered in her heart, but she still had to pretend to be shy.
