When Xi Fuwei returned to the flower hall, the tea in front of Mrs. Shang was cold, and she was about to pick it up and change it, but Mrs. Shang held her hand anxiously: "Mr. Shen, I'm not thirsty!" I just want to know, the clumsy husband and Yiang, can there be salvation? ”

"The matter of the honorable husband can only be decided after the return of the hundred households." Xi Fuwei sighed, patted the back of her hand, and said softly, "As for Zou Gongzi, because of his young age, when I went to ask for instructions, Lord Zongqi said that it is not impossible to open the net. It's just that...... If there's no reason, there's nothing we can do! ”

Mrs. Shang misunderstood at the beginning, and immediately said that as long as Zou Yiang was safe and sound, she didn't care if she scattered her family wealth.

Listening to Xi Fuwei hinting that she had made a mistake, Jin Yiwei was not going to rip off the bamboo now, but to ask for more clues, she was just depressed, and said: "I have been married into the Zou family for many years, although I know that my husband has something to hide from me, I have never thought much about it, after all, the family of the Zou Mansion is there, and there are some account books that are not known to outsiders, which is not strange." I thought that the Zou Mansion would give a man in the future, and the husband would give a male heir, would it still harm him? So after knowing that there was a secret compartment in his study earlier, he didn't investigate it. ”

Xi Fuwei asked: "Then the dark grid ......?"

"Mr.'s colleague has been found." Mrs. Shang choked up and said, "Actually, it was because I found something from the dark grid, and I listened to a few words from a few lieutenants before I confirmed the clumsy husband...... I'm afraid it's not that simple. ”

"Confirmed?" Xi Fuwei was keenly aware of her wording, "So, Madam has long felt that something is wrong with the Zou family master?" It's just that it was just a suspicion before, and this time it was confirmed? ”

Mrs. Shang hesitated, in the end, under the persuasion of Xi Fuwei, "At this time, even if Mrs. is unwilling to betray the head of the Zou family, she must always think about them for Zou Gongzi and Miss Zou", and said with tears: "After the news of the opening of the river came out, many people came to the door openly or secretly to ask about the attitude of the Zou family. Originally, I thought that there was nothing to hesitate about this kind of thing, the ancestors of the Zou family relied on the canal to grow, and the dredging of the imperial court will open the river, which is an out-and-out good thing for the Zou family, not only to support, even if the Zou family wants to contribute money and efforts to open the river, it should be! ”

"But the clumsy husband who has always been shrewd is very hesitant in this matter, not only refusing to express his position for a long time, but even when the opening of the river in the imperial court is a foregone conclusion, he deliberately avoids dignitaries such as Song Shangshu, which has the intention of offending all parties, and he is unwilling to decide!"

"At that time, I privately wondered if the clumsy man was held by the opponents of the river, or threatened, so he didn't dare to keep quiet?"

"But after some observation, I don't think it's like ...... And to put it mildly, although our Zou family has a bit of thin noodles in Jining, what is it if it is put on the court? ”

"Even if the Zou family does their best to oppose the opening of the river, will this project not be carried out?"

"What really made me realize that the identity of a clumsy husband is not simple...... Yes sir! ”

Xi Fuwei said unexpectedly: "Me? When I was in Zou Mansion, I basically didn't meet the head of the Zou family? ”

"But because of the farce of the Wen family sect in Dongchang Mansion on the old lady's birthday, the details of the gentleman, our husband and wife also know it." Mrs. Shang pursed her lips and said, "But the clumsy husband does not dismiss Mr., and it can be said that he is the origin of Mr. Jealous." But let a few of them be close to Mr. ...... It's something I can't figure out anyway. ”

"What does Madam mean that the head of the Zou family is also interested in the court, but he doesn't dare to blatantly surrender himself because of the unspeakable internal situation?" Xi Fuwei frowned, "So pretending not to know the actions of Madame and Miss Zou?" ”

When she was in Zou Mansion before, she was puzzled, obviously her identity had been almost exposed, Mrs. Shang contacted her by herself, and it could be said that it was intrigues, and the young Zou Yiang and Zou Qiong were still taught to take them, which was very strange.

She pondered, and then said, "Then what was the reason for the old lady to fire me?" ”

"Old lady, I'm afraid I don't know anything." Mrs. Shang smiled bitterly and said, "That time, someone sued the old lady and said that Yiang has a different kind of mind for you, and Mr. also knows that the old lady has always been the most painful, and she is very worried when she hears the news." I received the news that Yiang got up early to find Mr., and went with his feet, and happened to see Yiang pulling and pulling with Mr., so he pushed the boat down the river and gave an order to evict the passengers...... Originally, I was waiting for Mr. to look for me, but Mr. never went, and I thought maybe Mr. also wanted to take this opportunity to leave Zou Mansion? ”

Xi Fuwei heard the implication of her words, and she simply suspected that the so-called being caught by the old lady and having to leave was self-directed and self-acting, the reason was that she didn't need to continue to stay in Zou Mansion, and she couldn't help but raise her eyebrows and said, "Even if I want to resign from Xixi, I won't pour dirty water on myself and Zou Gongzi like this." ”

Mrs. Shang hurriedly said: "That's the truth...... It's a pity that the has been driven away because the old lady doesn't like the people under her to tell right and wrong, otherwise she has to use the family law to give her a long memory! ”

"Is it the old lady in front of you?" Xi Fuwei asked in surprise, "Then you should follow the old lady all day long, how do you know that Zou Gongzi went to the girls' school to find me?" ”

"The old lady has been sending that to visit Yiang before." Mrs. Shang explained, "The knows that the old lady is interested in Yiang, so even if she doesn't look at Yiang, she always inquires about Yiang's affairs. For this reason, he did not hesitate to use the monthly money to buy off Yiang's close attendants, and he knew Yiang's whereabouts well. ”

pursed her lips, "It is said that she has a younger sister, who is similar to Yiang's age, and the reason why she does this is also because she has the idea of stuffing her sister into Yiang for sex in the future." ”

Seeing that Xi Fuwei was thoughtful, she gritted her teeth, got up and knelt down, and said, "If Mr. is dissatisfied with this matter, Zou Fu is willing to do anything to obtain Mr.'s forgiveness......"

"Madame doesn't have to be like this!" Xi Fuwei hurriedly stretched out her hand to pull her up, and said earnestly, "Although my days in Zou Mansion are not long, I have been taken care of. Now that Zou Fu is in difficulty, how can he not do what he can? ”

She groaned, approached Mrs. Shang, and said in a low voice, "At this time, the Lord of the Hundred Households is not here, and the General Banner is in charge, and the General Banner means that although the actions of the Zou family master are very rebellious, as long as he makes enough contributions, His Majesty is not a person who loves to kill, and there is no room for turnaround." Since Madame also thinks that the head of the Zou family may not be unwilling to the court, why not try to persuade the head of the Zou family to make meritorious contributions? After all, it has been nine years since Yongle. No matter what kind of involvement the head of the Zou family and the ancestors of the Zou family have with the previous dynasty, time has passed, loyalty has become ignorance, and persistence has become obsession...... What does Madame think? ”

If Mrs. Shang hadn't thought so, she wouldn't have come to her now.

At this moment, he got Xi Fuwei's euphemistic promise, nodded immediately, and begged again: "Please also ask Mr. for help, so that I can meet my humble husband!" ”

After thinking about it, he asked, "If you can also take a look at Yiang and know that he is all right......"

Xi Fuwei said, "Madame, wait a minute. ”

was about to go to find Lu Zongqi again, but Yu Kedi suddenly walked in outside the door, made a look at her, and said to Mrs. Tongshang: "Lord Zongqi has already ordered, for the sake of Miss Xi's face, Mrs. Rong Shang went to visit Zou Zhihan in prison." However, there is only one stick of incense in time, and when it is outdated, please ask the lady to leave immediately, don't make it difficult for the people below. ”

Mrs. Shang hurriedly got up and asked, "Little ......"

"Ling Lang is being held in solitary confinement, not visible for the time being." Yu Kedi's face was expressionless, "But Madam doesn't have to worry, Ling Lang is young, and many punishments are easy to fall ill, so he is just locked up for the time being." ”

I haven't moved for the time being, that is, I will still move in the future?

When Mrs. Shang heard the meaning of his words, her heart sank, and she didn't dare to say anything more about wanting to see her son, so she said in a low voice: "The concubine knows, can the concubine go to prison now?" ”

Yu Kedi called someone to take her away, so he asked Xi Fuwei: "Is she willing to cooperate?" ”

"She was going to cooperate." Xi Fuwei said truthfully, "It's that Jinyiwei only knows me here, so he came to me." ”

"I guess it's about the same, this Mrs. Shang doesn't look like she is confused, and she can't afford to accompany Jianwen to the funeral." Yu Kedi nodded and said, "But don't be too honest, wait until you get down to the general flag, but you must be more effective in your hard work." ”

Xi Fuwei smiled and said: "But I didn't ask for a reward, so I might as well give you this credit, so I said that you came over to help her and said that she was moved." ”

"You're a man...... How can you be stupid when you should be shrewd? Yu Kedi looked at her indescribably and said, "This is an opportunity for your adult to give you meritorious service, so that you can show your face in front of the Shen family and even His Majesty, and you still want to resign to me?" If you dare not, I don't dare to ask for it! ”

Xi Fuwei's heart jumped when she said this, and she said, "What? ”

"The adults have been in the Zou Mansion for a few days, why don't you raid the house early or late, but this morning I didn't say anything, and I left by myself, so that after Mrs. Shang came, I couldn't find the adults if I wanted to, if I was looking for the general flag, the three general flags, Guan Zongqi personally led the team to copy the Zou Mansion, and I didn't plan to take a look at Mrs. Shang, the other two general flags were the same, the small flag under the bottom and our captains couldn't speak at all, and this lady could only find you?" Yu Kedi sneered, "Isn't it to prove your shrewdness and ability, will it be his virtuous help?" ”

"......," Xi Fuwei calmed down for a moment before saying, "When I was eating over there last night, I remember that you accompanied the adults directly into the door?" ”

Yu Kedi said: "Are you talking about the white fox Qiu?" I really didn't see it at the time. But later, when the adults went to look for you in the small building in the back, our people followed all the way, and it was not clear what was going on? ”

Seeing Xi Fuwei's embarrassed expression, but she didn't plan to let her go, she said, "Actually, you should buy some roast chicken wine or something, thank you, you must know that last night the adults entered the small building with their front feet, and Xing Xing's head went over with his heels and took some things that were not very clean." If it weren't for our people taking people down in time and putting things away, then it would be a lot of fun! ”

"Lu Zongqi, they also know?" Xi Fuwei thought of Fang Cai Lu Zongqi and the clerk as if they had nothing to do, and at that time I actually considered that they knew but didn't say it, but it was just because they didn't pierce the window paper, it was nothing, and at this time Yu Kedi was called to talk about it, and suddenly felt a little embarrassed, "You were so busy last night, and you still had your hands to follow the adults?" ”

"No matter how busy you are, you have to protect your adults!" Yu Kedi laughed and said, "Otherwise, the adult has three long and two short, not to mention the rest, first of all, I can't explain to the Shen family!" ”

Xi Fuwei rubbed her face and said depressedly: "Forget it, where is Zou Yiangguan?" Can I go and take a look? ”

Although that kid is a little stubborn, he is just a childish fool, he has no bad intentions, and in the end, Xi Fuwei still has a little pity for him.

Now that Mrs. Shang is not easy to visit, Xi Fuwei thinks that Zou Yiang is probably very panicked at this time, if the boss does not object, although he can't let him go, he can be appeased in the end, lest he be scared of something.
