The summer scorching heat made the house stuffy, and Lu Ji asked people to keep splashing well water in the courtyard to cool off the two sitting at the stone table under the pomegranate tree and reading.

"Mantis Siyu, Xuxi, Yier descendants, Zhen Zhenxi......" Tingqi shook his head and read, while quietly glancing at the little county lord who was being memorized by Zhao Zhiyin, and smiled gloatingly.

The little county lord's black eyes rolled around, and he seemed to think very hard: "The peach is dying, and there is a ...... in fact."

Lu Ji looked at her, took a green plum from the fruit bowl, slowly put it in his mouth, and deliberately took a light bite in a funny way.

The little county lord swallowed his saliva and looked at Zhao Zhiyin pleadingly.

"No!" Zhao Zhiyin was always very strict at this time, not allowing her to make trouble or being naughty, in his eyes, reading was a particularly strict thing, "You can only eat after memorizing." ”

The little county lord pouted aggrievedly.

Listening to the chess, I couldn't help but laugh.

"What are you laughing at!!" the little lord shouted at her unconvinced.

Listening to chess, he knew that he was wrong, and stuck out his tongue and ignored her.

Lu Ji smiled and nodded, this time he listened to chess and really wanted to learn, and he didn't know if he was fighting with the little county lord, or if he was really determined to spend time on this.

The little county lord rested his chin on the book and thought sullenly for a while, then suddenly raised his head and shouted happily: "I remember......! Good for his family!"

As soon as he said that, he threw away the book, and his two fleshy little hands went to grab the green plums in the fruit bowl.

A hand quickly slapped the scroll against the back of the little hand.

The little county lord dodged quickly, and shouted angrily when he came back to his senses: "I'm done with it, why can't I eat it yet!"

Zhao Zhiyin asked rhetorically, "Have you finished memorizing?"

The little county lord is confident: "It's over!"

Zhao Zhiyin was angry and funny: "You ask my sister, is Chu'er finished reciting?"

The little county lord immediately turned to Lu Ji obediently and squeezed his eyes, "Sister, is Chu'er done reciting?"

Zhao Zhiyin also set his sights on her.

Lu Ji was a little overwhelmed.

The problem was thrown into her hands.

Lu Ji held his cheeks and pretended to think for a while, blinked his eyes and said seriously: "I heard 'the son is home, and it is suitable for his family', which is indeed the last sentence." ”

The little county lord jumped up as if he was liberated: "I'll just say, Chu'er is finished reciting!"

As he spoke, he made an innocent and proud grimace at Zhao Zhiyin.

Zhao Zhiyin reluctantly put down the book, so he had to loosen his mouth and said: "Then, after eating the plums, let's recite it again." ”

The little county lord was already immersed in the happiness of eating green plums, jumped off the stone bench and ran out, and couldn't hear what he was saying at all.

"Your Majesty. Fuqing suddenly approached and whispered a few words to Zhao Zhiyin with a solemn expression.

Zhao Zhiyin frowned: "There is such a thing?"

Fuqing nodded solemnly.

Zhao Zhiyin thought for a while and said, "I know, you go down first." ”

When Fuqing was leaving, he couldn't help but glance at Lu Ji.

Lu Ji happened to meet his fleeting eyes, a little surprised.

What, it has something to do with her?

When she turned her inquiring gaze to Zhao Zhiyin, she knew that this matter was indeed related to herself, because Zhao Zhiyin was looking at her steadily, as if he was thinking about what kind of words to use to sue her.

"What's the matter?" Lu Ji asked bluntly.

Anyway, saying this and saying that is the same thing, there is nothing to embellish the wording.

So Zhao Zhiyin replied bluntly: "Your father was co-opted." ”

Lu Ji raised his eyebrows: "For what?"

Zhao Zhiyin coughed lightly and said: "It is said that the relief silver for the flood in the south this year has been reduced by 20% since it was sent from the household department to Jiangning Mansion, and some people have reported that one percent of it has fallen into the hands of the household department. ”

Lu Ji looked at him.

Is this saying that her father took bribes?

"Have you cleared the accounts of the household department?" she asked calmly.

She didn't believe her father could be such a person.

"I checked, and the number was deliberately changed. Zhao Zhiyin said.

"Who changed it?" Lu Ji asked, pressing step by step.

"It's not clear. Zhao Zhiyin got up and said, "The cabinet is now waiting for me to discuss this matter." ”

Lu Ji also stood up and nodded, "Okay." ”

Zhao Zhiyin looked at her.

What's so good? Her father was ginseng, and she is still so calm?

Don't you need to tell him a few words? Don't you have to shed a few tears in a hurry? Don't you need to explicitly hint at his mercy?

Is it out of trust in him, or trust in her father?

Lu Ji looked directly at his pair of jackdaw-colored eyes, and blessed his body, "Send the emperor." ”

Her eyes are soft and firm, neither humble nor arrogant, calm as a mirror.

Zhao Zhiyin suddenly understood the meaning behind this look.

She trusts her father and trusts her husband.

He bowed his head solemnly.

After Zhao Zhiyin left, Tingqi showed his face from the book in front of him, and asked eagerly: "Little master, is something wrong with the master?"

Lu Ji shook his head: "It's not clear yet." ”

With what she knew about her father, he would not have done such a thing. Now if there is no misunderstanding, someone is trying to frame him. If there is a misunderstanding, it is easy to solve, but if someone deliberately frames it, it can be tricky.

Judging from the current situation, someone has deliberately tampered with the accounts of the household department, and it is most likely that the latter is the latter.

What's more, who is the mastermind is not yet known, the so-called open guns are easy to dodge and dark arrows are difficult to prevent, and my father's situation is even more difficult.

Lu Ji sat down and sighed.

I don't know what will happen to my mother.

The Zhou family in Lu Fuli on Rong'an Street had already knocked the wooden fish loudly, and the beads in his hands were also trembling and turning, as if he wanted to cover the sound of the search outside the door.

Aunt Liu sat on the side like a weak willow and smiled miserably: "Sister, this is covering your ears and stealing the bell." ”

Zhou opened his eyes, looked at the heads of the Praetorian Guards gathered outside the door, and sighed: "What kind of evil is this?" ”

Aunt Liu also turned her head weakly.

A small leader of the Praetorian Guard came in and said, "Two ladies, please move, this room will also be searched." ”

Zhou shook his head and stood up, letting all the women and children in the room support each other out of the room.

Lu Zhengqing stood in the courtyard, watching these people go in and out with pain, and from time to time threw some "suspicious things" out of the room.

This is his home! What is the difference between these people and robbers!

"Master......" Zhou held on to the pillar under the corridor, and when he saw him, he couldn't help but have a sour nose and shed tears.

Wanyi...... ...... with a smile, Lu Zhengqing walked quickly to support her, and looked at the two aunts and a pair of children apologetically, "I've affected you." ”

Lu Lian shook his head sensibly, holding one hand each of Zhou and Aunt Liu, "Daddy, Lian'er is not afraid, we are not afraid!"

Lu Zhengqing stroked his head with relief.

Lu Xuan kicked the stones under his feet, stood on tiptoe and looked around impatiently, "Dad, when are these people going to be searched?"

Lu Zhengqing looked up at her: "When they can't find evidence, they will naturally leave." ”

Lu Ji glanced back at his father and said "oh" helplessly.

This kind of question, if asked, is indeed a vain question.

However, the whole family stood together with the mentality of "being misunderstood".

Although it is restless, but if it is troubled, it will be a trouble, fortunately, everyone is here, and they are all safe.

"It's a good thing Ji'er isn't here. Zhou said sadly, "If Ji'er is here, I will definitely not be able to bear this breath." ”

She felt that her daughter was arrogant and could not stand such humiliation.

Just hearing about it but not seeing what is going on here, Ji'er may be even more worried. Aunt Liu shook her head and sighed, covered her mouth with a handkerchief and coughed twice.

Lu Zhengqing glanced at them, and looked at the messy courtyard with more and more sadness.

"Report! Something suspicious has been found here!"

Someone found something "suspicious" out of nowhere.

Lu Zhengqing glanced at it, it was his study, so he put his mind at ease.

"There's nothing to be afraid of. He comforted the nervous women.

But more and more people flocked to the direction of the study.

Gradually, most of the people crowded in front of the study.

There was the leader's laughter.

"Lord Lu, look what this is!"
