That night, the secret room in the study room in the main courtyard of Yongpinghou Mansion was brightly lit.

Shuwen excitedly looked left and right, then studied the door. He didn't even know there was a secret room in his adoptive father's study. But this secret room was too simple, wasn't it? A bookcase, a table, a few handfuls

The chair, and then there was nothing... Well, there was a cup on the table, yes, just one, obviously it belonged to the foster father, and they were all gone.

Seeing Shuwen pouting at the cup and sighing, Shujie gave him a funny surprise: "No one let you come in here to drink tea."

Nangong Miao was very nervous and kept holding her pink fist in her sleeve. Why did her adoptive father let her and Yao'er into the secret room? What happened? Under normal circumstances, women would not be allowed to enter.

As for the secret room, most girls and wives don’t even know if there is a secret room in their own house, or where the secret room is.

At this moment, he was amused by the interaction between the two Shujie brothers, but he was no longer so nervous.

Shuyao knew more things than Nangong Miao and Shuwen, so she would naturally think more about it. When she was suddenly taken into the secret room, she was worried that something had happened to her aunt Mo Niang on the way.

Jin Xida nodded slightly to Shujie, and Shujie told Yun Deqing's identity and his request to the emperor to "rely on merit in exchange for favor."

Shujie's eyes widened and he jumped up: "Really? Is it really uncle? Is uncle so brave?"

Shujie patted Shuwen's head and explained the secret of Zhen Zirou's life experience to the confused Nangong Miao: "This matter is a big secret for our family. There is no room for carelessness. But the adoptive father

You are right. You are now the mistress of our two houses. What if something happens in the house?

If my adoptive father and I are not here, you will be the one who makes the decision, so you still have to know it well." After all, those who know this secret, or are involved in this secret, in addition to the Yun family, there is also Mr. Zhen from the Zhen Mansion.

People. As for whether other people in the Zhen Mansion know about it, they are not sure yet.

It took a while for Nangong Miao to regain her composure. She was not panicked at all, but was lamenting the Yun family's parents' love for their daughter and the ruthlessness of those in the Zhen family.

"Then...then can we find an excuse to send some clothes, quilts, food, etc. to the second uncle? How long will the reexamination take? Does the uncle have to be imprisoned like this all the time?" Nangong Miao was angry that the emperor

Now that the re-examination is allowed, what are you doing to imprison him? He acts like a criminal and is not allowed to leave the capital. Isn't that enough?

"That's right," Shu Wen repeatedly echoed, "I heard that the prison is very scary. The food is rotten and the food is cold and damp. If the investigation lasts for a year and a half, don't you have to risk half your life?"

Jin Xida smiled and said: "Before the results came out, the imprisonment was just a kind of shock. The place of imprisonment was separate from other criminal prisoners. They were not treated harshly in terms of food, clothing, etc., and there was even a yard for exercise. In fact, it was just house arrest.

You don’t have to worry. The emperor cherishes talents. Yun Deqing has just made a great contribution and is the person recommended by General Fan. The emperor has already expressed his attitude. The person in charge of the cell knows it well and does not dare to treat it lightly. "

Shuyao woke up from the shock. She frowned slightly: "My adoptive father and eldest brother told us this because they were worried that someone would hinder the review and even make a fuss about the 'relative relationship' between the Yun family and our family, so our recent period

Should we be particularly cautious about time?”

Jin Xida nodded approvingly, looking at Shuyao with eyes full of joy. This child has been smart and sensible since he was a child. If he is a boy, in the future... well, it may be a girl or a girl, haha.

Jin Xida's mind suddenly flashed back to the image of Zhen Zirou raising her head coquettishly: "What's wrong with women? Women in this world have fewer opportunities than men. Otherwise, there would still be a large number of female champions and female generals."

Shujie has always been proud of this sister. In his eyes, Shuyao is different. She is very right in her small ideas and is not too amazing. However, she gave Shuwen another surprise: "Did you hear that? Qi Qi

It's you, don't throw all your caution and composure to the White Monkey Mountain after a few words or a provocation.

We are only distantly related to the Yun family now, and because of the relationship with the Zhen Mansion, we don’t value this relative very much. In addition, you are young and your parents are not here, so you didn’t even know about this relative before. Do you remember this?

?

My adoptive father and I are responsible for helping my uncle. From now on, no matter whether you are inside or outside the house, you are not allowed to mention a word or ask about it. You must also be wary of any outsiders who mention related matters.

"

Nangong Miao and Shu Yao nodded in agreement, this matter is indeed no small matter.

"I know." Shuwen touched his forehead unconvinced, "Isn't this at home? I can hold my composure outside."

As soon as these words came out, even Nangong Miao, who was usually the most doting and protective of Shuwen, couldn't help laughing out loud. A few days ago, this "very calm person" was still fighting with people in the academy.

However, it was the other party who bullied his classmates, so Shu Wen just wanted to fight the injustice. The teachers and classmates present all stood up to testify against Shu Wen.

Shuwen couldn't keep it up anymore and his ears turned red: "Sister-in-law..."

"No, no, no, my sister-in-law suddenly thought of something funny. I'm not laughing at what you said, no." Nangong Miao quickly "clarified", but it was more like "There is no three hundred taels of silver here."

Shuyao and others laughed...

Shuyao originally wanted to tell her adoptive father and elder brother about how she rescued a man in gray on Yuquan Peak four years ago, and how Lan Jin saw the man in gray among the soldiers of the Northwest Army returning to Beijing today.

But after thinking about it, I gave up. I felt that there was no point in saying it. That person might not even remember what happened. Even if he did, there would be no need to come to him, right? Unless that person was General Fan, he might still be there.

Can you say more nice things for your uncle?

Shuyao secretly spat at herself. In the past, her father often said, "Don't expect repayment if you show kindness." It was good for her that she still cared about it.

Because of the solemn warnings from Jin Xida and Shujie, Shuyao and Nangong Miao immediately raised their spikes like little hedgehogs in response to the sudden and impromptu greeting card.

Nangong Miao looked at the greeting card in her hand: "Yao'er, do you think the Murong Mansion is planning something again? This Yu family came to the door for no reason and didn't even hand over the greeting card in advance." Is she familiar with the Hou Mansion?

? Not to mention the unclear lawsuit between the Murong Mansion and the Yongping Marquis Mansion, even this layman Lian, uh, now Mrs. Murong, is not a good person either.

On the way back from visiting Mrs. Xu in the Xu Mansion in Yulin Town, Liu's mother accidentally mentioned Master Lian and told Nangong Miao about the incident in which Master Lian had inexplicably turned his anger on Shuyao. Nangong Miao was furious when she heard that.

, the natural image is profound.

Shuyao put down the pen in her hand: "Maybe, but I don't have any good intentions anyway. The Murong Mansion and the Zhen Mansion are now in-laws." The imperial edict was issued yesterday, and the Murong Mansion came today. What a coincidence, right? The two of them

There was no friendship at home, including between her and Yu Manlian.

However, since people are here, it's hard to turn them away. After all, Yu Manlian has been Shuyao's teacher.

In fact, what they didn't know was that Yu Manlian was also holding her breath at this time, and her mood was no better than that of her sisters-in-law.

Yu Manlian didn't want to lose her pride in front of the Xia family. She wanted to find a good excuse to visit again, but she didn't expect that news came from the palace yesterday that the Yun family case was being reviewed.

Murong Ziye couldn't sit still, for fear of losing this "opportunity" bought with a lot of money, he urged Yu Manlian early in the morning to go to the Yongping Marquis Mansion today. Before the Yun family could be rehabilitated,

He must first sue Jin Xida and Xia Shujie, as well as Na Yun Mo.

Yun Mo, a member of the Yun family, had illegally sneaked into the Central Plains a long time ago and colluded with Jin Xida and Xia Shujie. Then Yun Deqing used military merit to "exchange favors with merit". Well, that's it. Murong Ziye was not even "charged"

Think about it, these people are basically relying on the emperor's trust and kindness to sneak into Chencang, flout the law, and play tricks on the court.

Yu Manlian didn't know what happened in the palace. She only knew that she had promised her father-in-law, Murong Shangshu, to go to the Yongping Marquis Mansion to find out the news. Therefore, she didn't think much about Murong Ziye's urging, thinking it was her father-in-law's intention.

I had no choice but to bite the bullet and come here.

The concierge of the Xia family is a couple, Uncle Hua and Aunt Hua. Uncle Hua saw the mark of Murong Mansion on the carriage, read the greeting card, and politely refused: "Our eldest grandma is waiting for guests, and the girl will be ready to go out soon."

I'm afraid it's not convenient for Weiyuan Marquis Mansion to receive Madam Murong. I'm sorry, but please come back." Humph, he was already very polite. The uncle had already explained that the people from Murong Mansion directly blocked the entrance.

.

Aunt Hua was even more exaggerated. She went directly to the door bolt to check before coming over. She stared at Yu Manlian and her party with a defensive expression, as if she was worried that they would force their way in.

Yu Manlian had long thought that the Yongping Marquis Mansion would not receive her warmly, but she didn't expect that she would be blocked by the concierge as soon as she arrived. The concierge didn't even say anything and just asked her to "please come back". This was too obvious.

Right? The three bastards of the Xia family are so arrogant!

However, even if this was the case, she couldn't just go home, let alone stand here and make trouble with a concierge, right? Yu Manlian gritted her teeth and swallowed her anger and glanced at Wu Xin.

Wuxin smiled and stuffed a piece of silver into Aunt Hua's hand: "Our eldest lady was Miss Xia's husband when she was in Yulin. The Marquis of Yongping passed away, and our wife is in the capital and it is inconvenient to go to Yulin to visit Miss Xia. I just learned about Miss Xia.

I'm back in Beijing, and I came here to express my condolences. Auntie, it would be better for you to inform me, so as not to spread the news that Miss Xia is disrespectful to Mr. Xia, right?"

Mrs. Murong is the girl's husband? Uncle Hua and Aunt Hua have never heard of it, but they know that Mrs. Murong is the newly married man of the Murong Mansion, so Wu Xin's behavior doesn't seem like a lie, and they didn't let him in directly.

It's just a greeting card. It's just a walk. Don't let anyone grab your girl's pigtails.

Aunt Hua thought for a while, took the invitation, and before Wu Xin had time to feel proud, she put the broken silver back into her hand, and said proudly: "We slaves of the Yongping Marquis Mansion, it's not your Murong family's turn to fight.

Reward. Wait, I’ll report it.”

Yu Manlian fell down and almost fell backwards. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
