Liu's mother and daughter tossed half a night to return to the main room, and Liu's summoned all the stewards in the prime minister's mansion, knocked on the side, and told Fang one by one. These family members know their intentions, but no one is a fool, since the death of the Bai family, the Liu family is in charge of the Xiangfu Zhongfang, and everything in this mansion should be up and down is her alone. And this Liu family is from the side room to the main room, and the mother's family is just an ordinary official family, but the Ji Qian who serves is comfortable, and the virtue cultivation is not as good as the former wife Bai. She is afraid that people are just perfunctory on the face and disobedient behind their backs, so the control of subordinates in the government is quite harsh, and there are punishments and transactions every month.

At this time, Ling'er was already a down-and-out lady who had lost power, as the saying goes, a phoenix with falling hair was not as good as a chicken, although everyone had those who had received the favor of the Bai family before, at this time they only had pity in their hearts, and there was no one who dared to help.

After Liu's advice, everyone went back to the house and didn't say anything for the night.

Early in the morning of the second day, as soon as Ning Yiheng returned to the mansion, Han Yong came to report that the "Xunyin Building" had found the traitor Rat San, who had intended to harm the second lady in the past, and at noon the young master Mu would personally send people to the palace.

After hearing this, King Heng groaned slightly, and said: "Let Young Master Mu send the three rats directly to the county government, as for what to do after arriving at the county office, it will be arranged with Young Master Mu." ”

Han Yong obeyed the order, turned around and retreated, ran towards Xunyin Building, and reported King Heng's words to Mu Chenfeng word for word.

Mu Chenfeng said with a smile: "Your prince is really good at hiding, go back and tell him, just enter the palace tomorrow and ask the emperor for marriage, but you will remember to repay me as a benefactor in the future." ”

Han Yong withdrew with a smile and returned to the palace to pass the word.

Mu Chenfeng just waited for the three rats to be escorted back, and nodded a few words to help King Heng do a good thing.

Originally, this rat got Liu's silver taels that day, and he planned to go to other places to make a living, and he would have a good home in the future. Helplessly, his gambling was difficult to change, and he lost a little silver not long after escaping from the capital. Without money, he couldn't go any further, and he wanted to find an errand to make a living temporarily, but he had an ugly face and a lazy nature, and barely managed to get a few places for him, but in a few days, he was swept out of the house for various reasons. He had no relatives or friends in the local area, so he could only live on the streets to do some things like stealing chickens and dogs.

Therefore, Xunyinlou did not spend a lot of effort to find the person and immediately sent it to the capital.

When Mu Chenfeng waited for a short time, the guards came to report: "Young master, the person has been delivered." ”

Mu Chenfeng flicked the folding fan, "Bring it in quickly." ”

Mu Chenfeng and the three rats also met for the second time, and the three rats were pushed in by the five flowers, and the guards shouted: "Kneel." "It's not as good as the three rats kneeling slowly, and the kicks will pass, and the three rats are already on their knees.

"Rat Three, do you still recognize this young master?" Mu Chenfeng had a smile on his face, but the smiling rat three felt a chill in his heart.

Rat San hurriedly kowtowed and said: "Of course the villain remembers the young master, thank the young master for not killing that day, but the villain didn't tell anyone what happened that day, I really don't know how to offend the young master, please forgive the villain." ”

Mu Chenfeng saw that Rat San looked obscene, and his heart was infinitely disdainful, and he said slowly when his head was bleeding: "I invited you to come today, I want you to do this young master a favor, I don't know if you are willing." ”

Rat San secretly said in his heart: "How can you ask someone to help, this is the way to ask for help." But he didn't dare to say it, but he said again and again: "The young master lets the small one do things, which is a small blessing, and the small one must do his best to die." ”

Yixi's words were nondescript, but Mu Chenfeng was amused, and said: "You don't need to die, if this thing is done, Xunyinlou will be responsible for the rest of your life." ”

At first glance, a pair of rat eyes are full of light.

Mu Chenfeng said again: "If there is a mistake, I'm afraid it's not just me Xunyinlou who will kill you." ”

Rat San was confused when he heard this, and his heart was frightened, so he only said, "I don't know what is going on?" ”

Mu Chenfeng said: "You will go to the county government today to beat the drum and voice the grievances, and tell the lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion to allow you to insult Miss Ji Er. ”

Rat San exclaimed: "Can the Prime Minister's Mansion spare the villain?" ”

Mu Chenfeng said fiercely: "Do you think the Xiangfu is terrible or am I Xunyinlou thoughtful?" ”

Where did Rat San dare to speak again, thinking in his heart, "Although the Prime Minister's Mansion is high and powerful, but this Xunyin Building, which has no official qualities, is even more feared by everyone in this big week, and there is no good left and right, so it is better to vote for Xunyinlou, maybe there is a glimmer of life." Then he said: "The villain does what the young master instructs, and he must return Miss Ji Er's innocence." ”

Mu Chenfeng waved his long sleeves and said sharply: "If you have the slightest selfishness, Xunyinlou is digging three feet into the ground, and you will definitely die without a corpse!" ”

Rat San was already trembling with fright, and the guards came up to untie him, and this party got up and ran straight to the county office.

This Liu was tired last night, and today he is quite tired, and he has been lying still. Ji Ran got up early to say hello, and when she saw that her mother looked preoccupied, she said, "Why didn't my mother kill that little goblin to solve the trouble?" ”

Liu Shi pondered for a moment and said: "You still think too little, blame your mother for always spoiling you too much, only teaching you piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and want to marry everyone." Now I realize that even if you marry well, you must be able to keep it. ”

Ji Ran said unhappily: "Mother has always looked down on me, although my daughter is sometimes reckless, but she is not that mindless, you are old and at ease." ”

Liu's sighed faintly, caressing his daughter's hair lovingly, the mother and daughter were very warm, how could they think of the half-dead sister Ling'er who was beaten in the backyard.

Mother and daughter were gossiping, and at this time Green Beads. Come to report: "Madam, the prefect Sun Xingsun asks to see you." ”

Liu was stunned, the Prime Minister's Mansion has always been related to official affairs by the husband and the prime minister, and he never asked, just like the husband didn't ask about the back house, why is this today? He hesitated in his heart and didn't dare to slack off, so he said, "Please drink tea in Lord Sun's living room, and I'll be there later." As he spoke, he got up and tidied up his clothes, because he saw the government, and it was inevitable that he would wear the solemn focus, so he delayed a little time.

When the Liu family entered the living room, Lord Sun hurriedly got up and saluted: "Xiaguan has seen Madame." Liu said politely: "Lord Sun doesn't need to be polite, I don't know what important thing Lord Sun has to find my family master when he comes to the house today?" "Liu thought that this Lord Sun saw that Ji Qian was not in the Prime Minister's Mansion, so he found himself, and the two Japan were already irritable, so they couldn't help but put themselves aside, and there were many things to save in the future.

That Sun Xing knew what the Liu family meant, and said with a slight smile: "Xiaguan's matter today is about Madame, if Madame is really busy, then it is not impossible for Xiaguan to wait for the Prime Minister to come back." ”

Liu Shi was taken aback, hurriedly waved his hand back and left, and said, "Lord Sun made it clear." ”

Only then did Sun Xing beat the drum of the rat three times and shouted that he was instructed by the Liu family to do bad things to Miss Ji Er, and told them in detail one by one

After hearing this, Liu almost fainted, thinking that he was smart for a lifetime, and today he really lifted a stone and shot himself in the foot. After thinking about it for a while, he said solemnly: "Lord Sun listens to the thief's nonsense, how can my dignified lady of the Prime Minister do such a thing that heaven and earth do not tolerate, and I hope that my lord will see it." ”

Sun Xing smiled in his heart and said, "Since Mrs. didn't do it, the lower officials should seek innocence for Mrs. and leave." He got up and wanted to leave.

Liu Shi hurriedly said, "Adults go slowly." Then he took out a stack of silver tickets from his sleeve and handed it over, saying, "Lord Lao is bothered." ”

Sun Xing didn't say anything, took the silver ticket, and arched his hand: "The lower official should do his best, and I hope that the lady will say a few kind words for the official in front of the prime minister." ”

"Lord Sun of the county government has gone to the Prime Minister's Mansion." Han Yong said to King Heng.

King Heng sat quietly at the desk, put the letter written by Shicai into the envelope, and said, "Give it to Sun Xing." ”

Han Yong took the letter with both hands, turned around and went to the county office. Sun Xing could hear someone come to report, "Someone from Hengwangfu asked to see him." "I was already quite uneasy in my heart.

Han Yong came in and bowed down and said, "Han Yong, a first-class guard in the Xiaheng Palace, has seen the prefect," and handed the letter over. At the end, he didn't forget to mention the point: "My lord knows that Lord Sun has always been diligent in government and loves the people, and he has long had the heart to protect the emperor from the emperor, and I hope that the lord will not disappoint the prince." ”

After reading the letter word for word, Sun Xing's heart was already half cold, and he didn't know how to deal with himself for a while, and he couldn't help but pause secretly.

But after all, he has been in officialdom for a long time, and he has encountered many turbulent waves, so he calmed down and thought for a while, and then he had a sense of proportion, and ordered left and right: "Open the court to ask the case." ”

There are many idlers in the capital, and the ones who are not expensive or rich at the feet of the Son of Heaven are either related to the rich people of the official eunuchs, and they love to watch some excitement all day long. In just half a day, the county government tried the case of the second lady of the prime minister's house, and the rumors were boiling.

That Sun Xing has quite a set, I saw him sitting in the hall in the official mansion, so not majestic. Seeing that the rat was escorted to the court, he didn't ask anything else, but just asked him to tell the story again. Rat San arranged the things that Mu Chenfeng had instructed before and said slowly, from someone finding out how he promised Yinliang, how he was taken to the second lady, and then he was kind, and then he lied and deceived Yinliang to escape, so it was not detailed.

Sun Xing smiled secretly in his heart, and sure enough, as he expected, "How can this Xiangfu lady come forward to do such a thing in person, at most, she can only go with someone who is waiting for her." ”

After listening to this, Sun Xing shouted: "Okay, you rat three, since you have never seen Mrs. Xiangfu, how can you say that it was instructed by Mrs. Xiangfu." ”

Rat San He thought of this, and was speechless for a while.

In the end, on the grounds that there was no evidence, but the people of the prime minister's house were in charge of their own affairs, the Liu family had a mother-in-law who took the crime of Liu's mother and closed the case hastily.

Rat San made up for his mistakes and let him out. The second lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion is really an innocent person, and the county government gave the whole city a three-day announcement to edict the world.

This matter came and went quickly, and it only took one day before the wind blew away.

King Heng heard Han Meng's report on the outcome of the case, and said with a smile in his heart: "This Sun Xing is really a well-behaved person, who not only gave face to the Prime Minister's Mansion, but also fulfilled the affairs of the Hengwang Mansion. "King Heng thinks that if he marries Ling'er in the future, it is inevitable that he will still have dealings with the Prime Minister's mansion, although the Liu family is heinous, it is estimated that Ji Qian's face will be overcome, let's skip it, and talk about it later.

But the matter has come to this, and Ji Qian can't get around it even if he pretends to be deaf and dumb. He had a slight delay in the middle of the court today, and on the way back there was a lot of uproar, and when he saw the notice, he had already guessed most of it. He hurried back to the mansion and sent the Liu family to see him.

When the Liu family entered the study, Ji Qian waved his hand and slapped the notice on his face, and said angrily: "You did a good thing!" ”

The Liu family wanted to defend, but seeing that Ji Qian did not look like before, he knew that if he quibbled, it would make him even more angry, so it was better for him to vent his anger.

Seeing that Liu was silent, Ji Qian's anger in his heart was half gone, and he asked loudly: "You are the lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and you are in charge of the middle of the mansion, since you have done such a thing, do you still have a sense of shame?" ”

After speaking, he suddenly said, "Let the second lady come to the study to see me." ”

Liu was shocked when he heard this, and almost wanted to stop him, but he didn't dare to speak.

The person on duty today is Li Gui, the old man in the house, this Li Gui also received some favors from the Bai family in the past, and he is already unhappy when he sees this today.

Ji Qian saw that Li Gui hadn't moved for a long time, and couldn't help but be furious: "Bastard, why don't you go and invite someone quickly?" ”

Li Gui knelt down on his knees and said, "The second lady was beaten by her wife last night, and she has not been treated. ”

Ji Qian was suddenly shocked in place, he was not ignorant of what the Liu family had done in the mansion in the past, but it was not a big problem, and he didn't bother to take care of it. I don't want to have two things in a row today, since I am so shocked, and I think of the Bai family's virtuousness, the old man is full of guilt for his earnest teachings. Turning to look at the Liu family, he couldn't wait to be killed immediately, and thought that Ji Ran and Rui Wangfu were about to get married, so he said bitterly: "Lock it up, never go out, and the middle feed in the mansion will be in charge of Aunt Wang for the time being." "Another quickly sent someone to find the imperial doctor to treat Ling'er.

Everyone in the Lingxi Courtyard can only take turns to guard the young lady at this time, but poor Ling'er has been having a high fever, and the whole person is like a brazier, and she doesn't know what to do.

Ling'er in a coma seemed to see her parents, mothers and sisters in her previous life, and she missed them so much. In that home, it will always be the warmth of family affection, the intimate care of parents, and the companionship of sisters. She even wanted to stay asleep like this, never wake up, only then could she see her relatives and stay with them. She doesn't want to stay in this small courtyard, facing so many rights and wrongs, she is really lonely and scared by herself.

The imperial doctor was urgently invited by the people sent by Ji Qian, stayed in the Delingxi Courtyard, and said after checking the pulse for a long time: "Fortunately, it didn't hurt the muscles and bones, but there was too much blood loss, I will prescribe some medicine first, apply it internally and externally, take care of it carefully, and then see the progress."

Qingxi's eyes that had been swollen after crying for a few days were like peaches, and he was only slightly comforted at this time. However, Na Nuo'er was quite careful, and wrote down the things explained by the imperial doctor in detail, and was busy inside and out in an orderly manner. The other three listened to what the imperial doctor said, and then they made up their minds and served more diligently.
