Because this matter was too delicate, Yang Sutian didn't want more people to know, and when the steward of Ouyang Xiangfu sent the girl again in the night, Shi Qi found that it was the girl he met in the flower layer at night. His heart was cold, and he almost wanted to tell Yang Sutian that the girl who had already had a little out of her belly looked at Shi Qi, and then looked at Yang Sutian, and asked the girls who were waiting for him to leave.

The girl tried to give Yang Sutian a big gift, so he blocked it, Yang Sutian said: "They let you come and talk to me again, I see that you are not very old, I don't want to embarrass you, if I tell the truth, it will be two lives for you, but no matter how good the house is to you, I can't accept this child after birth, you have to think about your future life." ”

The girl sat down, looked at Yang Sutian calmly, and said: "When the people around me told me that you were coming back soon, I thought about death several times, but I still wanted to see my mother and my brother, I knew that I wouldn't stay in the house for long, and if the adults didn't expose it, I couldn't go on like this forever, you adults have a lot, and I can't stand it in my heart." My real name is Jiang Qingyan, and I was sent here after our local housekeeper outside Lu Yuanwai was scared, and I haven't seen my mother since then, and I don't know what happened to her and my brother, and once I have news of them, I don't want to live. When Yang Sutian heard this, he was startled, and then took a closer look, but no, it was really a bit of Jiang Shangyun's face back then.

Yang Sutian asked: "Your father is a man with backbone, I have had a relationship with him, this time after I went out, I also saw your mother and your brother, they are living normally now, but how did you become like this?" As soon as Jiang Qingyan heard that her mother and brother were fine now, she hurriedly asked, "She found her family?" Then she looked at Yang Sutian, then at Shi Qi, lowered her head, and told them what she had done.

It turned out that not long after Jiang Qingyan entered Ouyang Yanzhao's mansion, Lao Li's housekeeper found that he had a good appearance and a good voice, so he flattered Ouyang Yanzhao, Ouyang Yanzhao asked him to train more, and the Xiangfu mentioned to him that he wanted a few young women, and he just sent them. After arriving at the Prime Minister's Mansion, Jiang Qingyan knew that this was a place where powerful people appeared, and the prime minister's subordinates were also older than the Qipin officials, she was a woman, she couldn't help the family, and she wanted to avenge her father, only her current complexion. Therefore, she treated any man she could contact with with her heart, hoping that Guangzhong could harvest thinly, but she didn't expect that Lord Yang didn't accept her, but she became pregnant because of her indiscriminate investment.

Yang Sutian asked, "Do you know whose child is in the womb?" Don't worry, I won't tell the house, let them know that it's not good for me, but I don't want to be so young a woman, let them suspect that my old tree can't sprout. I can ask Ouyang Xiangye to take you and that man out of the house together, arrange something to do, so that you can have a good family and return to your hometown to recognize your mother. ”

Jiang Qingyan didn't take a second look at Shi Qi, who was not yet an adult, she said: "Master, since you parted, from the day you left the mansion, the people in the mansion have been very close to me, and I have never had the opportunity to meet other men. They say that I am already a man of your lordship, and that I should be treated like a lady, and as you can see, there are people waiting for me now, and they used to be my sisters. Before this, of course, I had an affair with a family member in the house, who often went out on errands, saying that he knew a lot of high-ranking officials in the capital and could help me avenge me in the future. My lord, I'm not deceived, since you know my father, he let Lu Yuanwai's family harm, the Prime Minister's Mansion is so good to you, you must be in the same group, I don't expect you to avenge my father, if you can help me hide it, I will thank you under Jiuquan, if you say it, I don't blame you, I am half at peace when I die, as long as my mother and younger brother can live normally, and my younger brother has books to read, I believe he will be able to stand out for the family in the future. ”

Shi Qi couldn't help but look at Yang Sutian and said, "Jiang Qingyan, Lord Yang has already beheaded Steward Li who killed your father, and the adult asked, which is the man who made you pregnant with a child?" You name it, the adults will help people to the end, and let you go out and live a normal life, maybe you are poorer than the Prime Minister's Mansion, but with Lord Yang's concern, it will not be too bad. Jiang Qingyan looked at Yang Sutian and said: "I told him, Lord Yang, you haven't touched me, the child in the belly is his, but he just doesn't believe it, he thinks things can't be this coincidence, they started very early, why after Lord Yang left, they didn't have a chance to meet again, and then she was pregnant with a child, no matter what she said, the other party just didn't believe it, at this time, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she glanced at Shi Qi, and Shi Qi also thought of that night, and there was another girl.

Yang Sutian asked, "Didn't there be two girls who came with you that day?" And what about that one? You can ask her to testify against you. Jiang Qingyan said: "She won't testify, since you left, she has been protected as an adult like me, and she has changed from a subordinate to a little master, and she doesn't want to say anything." Later, I was pregnant, she didn't, the housekeeper thought that she couldn't be a subordinate anymore, and wanted to wait until the adult you came back and let you take it with her, she knew that you didn't want a woman, so she told the housekeeper, my lord, you don't like her very much, only like me, and ask to leave the house. The government gave her a sum of money, provided that she couldn't mention that she had a relationship with you, Lord Yang, she would have been free a long time ago, and with a sum of money from the house, she could live a good life. ”

The girl in front of him made Yang Sutian embarrassed, if he took it with him, there would always be obstacles in his heart, but if he put it on the Prime Minister's Mansion, he couldn't say it, he looked at Shi Qi and knew that he was small, and it was impossible to have an idea about this kind of thing. Yang Sutian first asked Jiang Qingyan to rest outside like last time, after Shi Qi had the last experience, of course he didn't dare to live outside, he chose to sleep with the people.

The next morning, Yang Sutian and Ouyang Ximu arrived at the court together, and the older officials were a little surprised to see Yang Sutian, not many people knew about his trip, because the focus of the work was on the Ouyang Yanzhao area. Yang Sutian reported his governor's situation to the emperor, of course, ignoring the fact that he found that Ouyang Yanzhao was not able to promote the reform effectively or even failed to advance.

Ouyang Ximu waited for Yang Sutian's report to be over, took the initiative to take two steps forward, and reported to the emperor: "Lord Yang is patrolling for the sky this time, the focus is on the eight mansions of the dog, thanks to the emperor's love, Ouyang Yanzhao has been in charge of the Fujian and Zhejiang regions for many years, and the old man is not sure, so he asked the emperor to allow Lord Yang to patrol again." In his report just now, because of the old man's face, he did not expose the internal problems of the local area, so I didn't dare to hide it from the emperor, so I deliberately said it and the emperor ruled on it. Ouyang Ximu told him the truth that Yang Sutian told him after drinking about Ouyang Yanzhao's almost no implementation of the reform, which was even more exaggerated and serious than what Yang Sutian said.

Yang Sutian was anxious when he heard this, in front of the emperor, he was bullying the emperor if he didn't report his feelings, Ouyang Ximu was a fine person, it was impossible for him not to know the powerful relationship, and he would not harm himself. When he was about to explain, Ouyang Ximu said: "After Lord Yang found out about the problem, he thought about reporting to the emperor first, and it was the minister who invited him to the palace to rest for two days according to the emperor's wishes, because it involved the minister's affairs, he was asked not to say it, and the minister himself reported it." ”

The emperor looked at Ouyang Ximu and said, "You always say that the new law you have implemented has been widely supported, and now your son has proved it to you, and there are also objections." It's a good thing to be controversial, and you shouldn't take it too seriously, if others don't implement it, it's a protest, and if your son doesn't implement it, it's no exception. But I still don't have a bottom in my heart about your changes, and I want to go out to see, just have your son's part to make a comparison, this matter is here first, no punishment, let alone encouragement, wait for me to go out to see and come back, Lord Yang will accompany me on patrol, the time and scope are set by Lord Ouyang. ”

After Shi Qi went to court in Yang Sutian, he found Jiang Qingyan and asked, "Will the two of you who accompanied me that night have a child because of me?" Jiang Qingyan blushed and said: "We came out of Lord Yang's room, thinking that we were not favored by Lord Yang, and we were a little unhappy, and we found out that you were a child, so we wanted to tease his servant, but I didn't expect that you were not very old, but you were a competent boy." I've been with the man you saw in the pile of flowers for a long time, but I've never conceived a child, and I have had it since that night, and I suspect you can't say it, I've been worried that if you say it, I'll be all done. ”

Shi Qi asked a little nervously, "Is that also possible for mine?" Jiang Qingyan looked at the sky in the distance, and said for a long time: "What can you do even if it's yours?" Would you admit it? You saw me and the man in that day, don't mention it between us in the future, this is what I beg you, you don't have to feel anything else, that night was purely boring for me and that girl. Afterwards, she also regretted it a little, knowing that you were a boy who had just debuted. ”

Shi Qi asked, "Then what are you going to do in the future?" Jiang Qingyan said: "Didn't Lord Yang say that he knew my mother's whereabouts?" I can go to them, if Lord Yang doesn't want me, I can tell my mother that she met with an accident in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and she is also a woman, so she will understand. You're still young, if the child looks like you in the future, you can also go and see it, I think it's more likely to be you, because the guy with me has had that kind of thing with our group of girls, but I haven't heard of any of them being pregnant with a child. ”

After Lord Yang came back, he found Jiang Qingyan, and he said: "Your father and I were former colleagues, I didn't expect his daughter to be in such a field now, your father's disappearance has nothing to do with me, but it was caused by me." I have already saved your mother, and now, I will continue to leave you in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and ask Master Ouyang to arrange for someone to take care of your future life. After the child is born, if you have a suitable person, you will marry, no, you will be in peace in the prime minister's house, after I accompany the emperor to go out and come back, if I can find your father, I will hand you over to him. I can't find it, then I will find a way to settle you down, at least let your family reunite, but you can't do anything without a score, let alone tell the truth of the matter, and you have to continue to live. ”

Jiang Qingyan was so moved that she didn't know what to say, and then, Yang Sutian told Shi Qi that he was going out by himself and taking it with Shi Qi because Shi Qi was indeed a genius. Now, the days of leaving the exam are not long, Shi Qi just went back to prepare, reminding him not to mention to others that he had come to the Prime Minister's Mansion, let alone that he had let Lord Yang take him with him before. Shi Qi wanted to take Jiang Qingyan away, he asked, "Lord Yang, now Jiang Qingyan is pregnant, right?" You arrange for someone to send her to my house, my mother can take care of her, it is more convenient than in the Xiangfu, here, she has to be careful at all times, after giving birth to a child, she is not easy to face Lord Yang. ”

After Yang Sutian thought about it for a while, he was very moved by Shi Qi's understanding, and his accidental behavior seemed to help Shi Qi broaden his horizons, but he didn't expect that he would fulfill himself, whether it was work or handling cases, and now dealing with this kind of dispute, Shi Qi turned out to be his own fire hydrant. Yang Sutian agreed to prepare a sedan chair for her, give Shi Qi some sufficient silver taels, and let him go back to discuss with his mother, don't be too quiet, after the child is born, help Jiang Qingyan find a family and live a down-to-earth life, Shi Qi must remember the address, if the child is short of money, Shi Qi can find Yang Sutian.

Shi Qi took Jiang Qingyan, who was pregnant, on the road, and came to Qingshi Town, where he used to be a tavern. He arranged Jiang Qingyan to live in Jiang Dongfeng's house, and after sending the sedan chair man from the Prime Minister's Mansion to the tavern, he found that the business did not get better because Jiang Xianglian arrived at the county office. Jiang Nanshan saw Shi Qi come back, squeezed out a smile, served a few meat dishes to the people he brought, prepared some wine, and when he was drinking, Zhu fortune teller also brought a few small servants in. After he sat down, he found Shi Qi there, looked at him, he really grew taller, Zhu fortune teller said: "How long has it been since I saw this little er, I thought I wouldn't come, what?" Gone out to do something? Do you still have a few acquaintances from out of town? He looked at the palanquins.

Shi Qi told him that he went out to find a teacher to prepare for the next year's exam, and he ran out of entanglements, and now he came back to be a shopkeeper, and a few of the friends he met on the road were drinking. Zhu fortune teller is a local rich man, the head snake, the current county magistrate because Jiang Xianglian is too pleasing, he Zhu fortune teller is better than before, and he heard that the emperor is now promoting Ouyang Yanzhao, and his waist is straighter than before. The sedan chair man in the Prime Minister's Mansion doesn't look too vulgar, Zhu fortune teller should have this eyesight, but he has always regarded himself as Ouyang Yanzhao's person, and after a long time, he believes more than others, so other people are not in his eyes.

Zhu said to Jiang Nanshan: "Shopkeeper Jiang, I still have some things to discuss with the county master, and serve me the dishes of the outsiders first." Jiang Nanshan said: "Yours is good immediately, people are also in a hurry to walk, don't be embarrassed." Zhu fortune teller has not had an accident for a long time, and he can't stand it if he has the ability to play nowhere to play, and suddenly, he said: "Don't forget, this is my place, your Xianglian is not the county magistrate's wife, just a small one, and now the county magistrate is begging me to go to Ouyang Mansion to say good things, but you are disobedient." As soon as a few sedan chairmen heard Ouyang Mansion, they put down their chopsticks and looked at this squire with a developed mind.
