Next.

Afternoon.

Lee's other business.

Mei Niang and Su Qin sat in the courtyard, watching a few children crawl around and play on the embroidered couch laid by Wen Niang, and their hearts were also happy.

While he was talking, he suddenly saw Ryan, who had gone to get snacks and Li Hong, empty-handed, and hurriedly rushed into the inner courtyard with a small attendant.

Mei Niang's heart tightened, and she knew that something was wrong, so she said urgently:

"What's wrong?

Isn't Jiro ......?"

"Mother, you can rest assured, but you are not the Lord. Just ......"

Ryan glanced at Suqin, who was also uneasy, and said in a low voice:

"It's just that the Duchess of Weiguo brought an old friend here."

Mei Niang was stunned, and her heart immediately turned like lightning, and she said coldly:

"But mother and sister?"

"Exactly."

Mei Niang gritted her teeth, and said in a low voice after a while:

"I really don't know whether to live or die!"

Su Qin looked at Mei Niang so angry, and couldn't help but say:

"Sister doesn't have to be surprised, in the end, she just came to see her sister, as long as her sister went out to send it away."

"No, I'm afraid they're coming, but they're not coming to see you."

Mei Niang said coldly:

"But it's coming for me."

Su Qin opened her mouth - when she was in the palace, she didn't know the appearance of the Yang mother and daughter, and she also had a lot of dislike in her heart.

And when I first got Mei Niang's bracelet, I thought that this move would attract the mother and daughter who were eager to borrow Mei Niang's position, but I didn't expect it to come so quickly.

Biting her lip, she looked at Mei Niang and said:

"That sister means ......"

Mei Niang smiled coldly, but said:

"But that's fine.

The fact that she was able to come to see me also proved that I had some doubts in my heart. ”

Mei Niang's headless words were dropped, but Su Qin was so puzzled, and when she was about to ask, she saw Mei Niang turn her head and ask her:

"Suqin, let me ask you, what convenient secret passage in the dark room is there in your house?"

"Yes, yes, but if sister, you are hiding here for such two people...... It's too aggrieved, and there is Your Majesty.

Your Majesty is only afraid that he will return in a moment? ”

How exquisite is Suqin? immediately knew her intentions, so he tried his best to persuade her:

"Sister, I'll ...... it"

"This was originally caused by me, and it was not surprising that they would come.

You can just arrange for me and my two children to go into the dark room.

As for Jiro, Yuru will go to find a confession.

Okay, if you think I'm bored, then you can put more books and playthings in the dark room with me. ”

Su Qin saw Mei Niang's insistence, and thought about it carefully, it seemed that Mei Niang did it intentionally, so she didn't persuade her anymore and arranged it by herself.

A moment later.

In a very secluded courtyard in the backyard of the Li family.

Mei Niang sat under the ginkgo tree that had begun to turn yellow, looking at the ginkgo leaves falling like butterflies, and Li Hong who was chasing the yellow butterflies all over the yard.

Holding Yan'er in her arms, she only felt peaceful.

Seeing her so peaceful, Ryan couldn't help but say anxiously:

"Niangniang, forgive Ryan for being stupid, Ryan really can't understand this Niangniang's arrangement......"

"If you can read it, then I'm going to be a little worried."

Mei Niang smiled faintly and said:

"You've been following me for ten years, but even so, there are some things about me that you still don't know.

Just like this, my mother and sister who are guarding the courtyard outside, although you know something about them, how can you know them in such detail? ”

Ryan was stunned and looked at Mei Niang.

Mei Niang lowered her head and smiled, and said lightly:

"Ryan, that's all it takes......

I don't know what about others.

But I couldn't believe it anyway, just by virtue of a jade bracelet that Suqin had won from me, it was able to attract them to come so quickly. ”

Ryan immediately realized:

"Unless, somebody made them a counselor?

Can...... But if so, what's in the way of the mother?

Why don't you take this opportunity to reprimand them? The Lord must be standing by the mother's side, right? ”

"It doesn't matter if Jiro stands next to me or not, and it doesn't matter if he reprimands him this time.

Importantly...... Ryan, haven't you thought about it?

Although I don't want to speak, I can still understand what the two of them are in a situation at the moment, and what kind of characters they will be around.

Ryan, do you think that with the abilities of the people around the two of them, they can guess that Jiro and I are in the Li family's other business at this moment, right now? ”

Ryan blinked:

"Niangniang means ......"

Mei Niang turned her head, slightly frowned, and said worriedly:

"Ryan, in the future, if you follow me and Jiro, you will inevitably encounter more seemingly simple, but in fact extremely complex situations.

Therefore, you must remember that if you want to keep peace in this Tang court, then depending on the direction of the situation, you must not look at the effect and not the cause, or even the cause is more important than the effect, understand? ”

Ryan opened his mouth to speak, but after a while, he closed his mouth again, thought about it, and actually glanced at Wen Niang, and invariably changed color:

"!"

Seeing the two of them like this, Mei Niang knew that they had figured it out, so she nodded and sighed:

"What kind of person is His Royal Highness King Han, even the first emperor never dared to say that he could be taken down overnight, let alone us?

Moreover, since he made a move, he naturally wanted to see the result.

If there is no result, and there is no movement from Jiro, how can he be willing to stop there?

Naturally, it is necessary to find out to the end.

This investigation, Jiro's whereabouts, will naturally teach him to have questions.

Even though in the Lishan Palace, there is a shadow substitute that the British duke painstakingly found, but in the end it is only a shadow, if you have a heart, you will know the truth after a try.

So he must have discovered Jiro's whereabouts early, naturally, how could he let go of such a good opportunity?

These are actually all Jiro wants to go ahead of him. ”

Ryan added:

"That Niangniang, although Niangniang's mother and eldest sister behave like that, but in the end they are not completely confused, why are they willing to be enveloped by King Han?"

"I'm afraid that it was not them who were caught up by His Royal Highness King Han, but Mrs. Wei, who spread the news to them and brought them here."

Mei Niang said lightly:

"If it weren't for that, no matter how vain and ignorant Mrs. Nawei was, she should think of it, this Nine Phoenix Jade Bracelet, or maybe I rewarded the master of virtue in the palace early on, and I thought it was a gift from him to his beloved wife?"

Ryan looked at Wen Niang, and Wen Niang said softly:

"It turns out that Niangniang had thought of these things long before she left the palace, and she arranged it by chance."

"But it's not me."

Mei Niang said lightly:

"It's Jiro.

Although it is true that I am the one who has these questions, it is Jiro who has made this plan. ”

Mei Niang smiled gently, but her eyes were cold:

"In the final analysis, whether the master of the award is too close to Jiro, and he is also the right and left hand of Jiro who is too important and too important, King Han is so clever, he will naturally want to start from here."

"I see......"

Ryan said suddenly:

"It turns out that the Lord has long wanted to clear the eyes and ears around Master Li, but he wants to take advantage of this incident to do it at the same time!"

Mei Niang nodded and said:

"Think about it, who is Suqin?

But Hui'er's sister.

Jiro didn't mention it since he was a child, but he really regarded Hui'er as his sister.

In the months after Suqin entered the palace, Jiro also took care of her as a little sister in every way, and now he is married to his most respected master......

With these several identities, how could Jiro not take more care of her? ”

Wen Niang also nodded and said:

"Yes, Wen Niang thought it was strange before, speaking of which, the Lord first treated our little lady as a sister, why did she marry into the Li family, and the matter of being bullied by the Wei family all day long is known to the whole dynasty, but the Lord is the only one who asks or takes care of it?

Originally, I thought that if I intervened, I would be dissatisfied with the little lady's husband's family and even Master Li...... So avoid suspicion. ”

Wen Niang stopped, and said lightly after a while:

Now that I think about it, what kind of person in the Lord cares about this? Master Li is not like that.

So there must be another internal cause. ”

Mei Niang nodded, and then said slowly:

"I have been hiding it, in order to see if the eldest brother of the Li family, who is the eldest son of the British duke, can solve it by himself, and what is the purpose of which side of the Wei family is in the court.

Now it seems that it was Jiro who was wise and caught her early.

Otherwise, if we just easily cure her, it will be a trivial matter, and the people behind her can't dig it out, which will be a big disaster! ”

Mei Niang said in a deep voice.

Ryan and Wen Niang both claimed to be.

At this moment, I saw a new little maid who was serving Mei Niang with Wen Niang hurriedly rushed in, and saluted Mei Niang and said:

"Niangniang, Lady Suqin has already invited Mrs. Nawei, the old lady, and Mrs. Helan back."

Mei Niang said:

"But Suqin asked you to invite this palace?"

"Back to Niangniang, it's not Suqin's life."

Mei Niang nodded and said:

"That's fine, you patrol the gate of the garden, and don't let outsiders come in.

After nightfall, the main palace will move to the main hall again. ”

When the little maid heard this, she had to say yes.

Watching the little maid leave, Wen Niang said:

"Niangniang is worried, then Webster's name says that he is leaving, but in fact he is still wandering around?"

Mei Niang smiled faintly and said:

"Even if she will die, I'm afraid that my mother and eldest sister may not be willing."

She leisurely took the tea and said:

"Let them go!

Their goal is Jiro, as long as Jiro doesn't show up tonight, then no matter how much they have to do it, they won't be able to stand in this other business that belongs to Master Li's private property after all. ”

After finishing speaking, Mei Niang didn't say much, so she only went to get the book and read it to Yan'er, who seemed to want to sleep peacefully in her arms, thinking that it would help her sleep.

……

The night is dark.

It wasn't until half an hour after the lamp was held that Li Zhi and Li Decheng sat in the carriage and returned to another business.

As soon as he entered the main hall, Li Zhi went straight out of the small courtyard, and asked in front of Mei Niang, who was talking to Su Qin about today's visit by Wei's Yang and Helan's:

"How? Are the kids alright? ”

"The Lord ......"

As soon as he saw Li Zhi, Su Qin and the attendants were all in a panic, and Li Zhi was not easy to teach them to be like this, so he hurriedly bowed, and then asked the child again.

It wasn't until Mei Niang smiled and nodded that it was okay that he sat down with a sigh of relief, then flattened the courtesy, and looked at the De Award couple with sinking faces, and then said to Mei Niang:

"Sure enough, it's her?"

Mei Niang shook her head and couldn't help sighing:

"Eighty-nine is not far from ten.

Today, he came so quickly with his mother and sister, if it weren't for the envoy of King Han, it would be difficult to succeed. ”

Li Zhi looked at Suqin again and said:

"What did she say?"

Su Qin was talking to her sister, no one in Ping Su Li instructed Su Qin, and Su Qin was stupid, so naturally she only thought that she was acting and talking, a little weird, but she never thought about this point again.

But today, I took a closer look, but found that there was no mistake, in fact, she didn't ask less about the errands that the Lord had instructed the Prime Minister to do!

It's just that Su Qin doesn't know much, and she doesn't dare to be careless, so she didn't leak it. ”

Su Qin looked at Li De Award and said:

I just don't know how she guessed this time that the Lord and her sister were actually here......

Although my sister said that it was probably because of Murong Yan's failure to make a move before, which made King Han a little suspicious, Suqin really couldn't figure it out, what was it that could make King Han think of this other business?

Although the lord is gracious and sisterly affectionate, if he goes out of the palace in white clothes to patrol, the other industries of the Weiguo Mansion must be the first choice for the dragon to drive Anyuan, but in the end, the Li family's other industries are not less, how can it be determined that this Xinfeng County is it? ”

Li Zhi shook his head and said slowly:

"One is that this place is not far from the Lishan Palace, after all, it is the first time that I have gone out of the palace in white clothes, and I have taken Mei Niang and two children, for the sake of safety, I have to choose not to stay away from the place where the Jin Wuwei army is, so that in case something happens, the Jin Wuwei will defend each other in time.

Second, Xinfeng is an important place, where businessmen from all over the world gather, and the news transmission is also fast, so that the effect of knowing the people's feelings and people's livelihood all over the world can be achieved here, and it is naturally the most appropriate here.

Three ......

This drought is also the most serious place in the Gyeonggi Prefecture, and the officials here are also the most prone to corruption, so if you want to investigate, this place is naturally the best. ”

Although Su Qin is smart, in the end, she is far inferior to her sister in government affairs, let alone Mei Niang, so she only nodded halfway, and then asked:

"That'......

Lord, sister, what are we going to do next? The sister-in-law is like this, but I am afraid that the eldest brother will be sad if he finds out. Why don't Su Qin come forward and solve this matter? ”

Li Zhi looked at Mei Niang and didn't answer, but Mei Niang asked rhetorically:

"Master Li, Su Qin, from the perspective of the two of you, how is the relationship between Ping Suli, Brother Deqian and Mrs. Wei?"

Li Dexuan looked at Mei Niang, and then at Suqin, who was unbearable, and then shook his head and said:

"If it's good, then how can the eldest brother volunteer to stay in Beijing for a long time, and he has no heirs after all these years of marriage?"

Li Zhi understood, nodded and looked at Mei Niang and said:

And so it was...... If that's the case, then Mei Niang, you have to take action. ”

Mei Niang smiled faintly:

"Jiro has his own government affairs to be busy, so the matter of choosing a good wife and continuing a virtuous concubine for all virtuous ministers will be done by Mei Niang!"
