The emperor smiled: "It's not good if it's fate." Lin Ruan's child, his son watched, very good. Mother and put aside the worries in your heart, take a good look at the child, you will have new ideas. ”

The Queen Mother waved her hand: "Okay, you go back to rest, you have to go to the court early tomorrow morning." I am also tired. ”

The emperor stood up and saluted: "The son will retire first, and the queen mother will rest in peace soon." ”

After the Queen Mother rested, Mama Hong called a little eunuch and explained softly: "Go and talk to Lord Chen, the Queen Mother is relieved." ”

After the little eunuch left, Mama Hong happily went back to her room to rest.

Turn the day.

On the Dingguo Mansion, the Tong family asked people to set up a carriage and horses, went out with Yahuan, and went to the county lord's mansion.

When he was halfway there, Tong asked the coachman to change direction and go to the outer city. When I came back, there were a lot of gift boxes in the car.

This is the thank you gift she prepared for Lin Ruan.

Under the guise of going to Lin Ruan to ask for accountability in the Dingguo Mansion, it was naturally difficult to bring gifts, which saved Old Madam Shen from being suspicious.

When he arrived at the door of the county lord's mansion, Tong asked people to hand over the name post, and he was soon invited into the mansion.

Xiao Lu came out to receive: "I've seen Mrs. Shizi." I didn't know that Mrs. would come, and I missed the welcome, so please don't blame Mrs. ”

Tong is married to Shen Lixing, the eldest son of the Dingguo Mansion, and people in Kyoto used to call her Mrs. Shen, and the next two younger siblings are Shen Er and Shen San. Later, after Shen Lixing became the prince, she was called Mrs. Shizi.

Tong said very kindly: "I came abruptly and caused trouble to the house." ”

Xiao Lu hurriedly said: "Don't dare, don't dare, I don't know if Madame is coming?" ”

Tong said: "I came today to see the county lord. Yesterday, thanks to her rescue, my niece was able to save her life. With such a great grace, I would like to say thank you to the county lord in person. I don't know how the county lord is doing, maybe he will meet me? ”

Xiao Lu originally thought that the Tong family came to stand up for Gu Ruan, after all, the Dingguo Mansion had done this in the past, and after listening to her words, he was still a little surprised. But he quickly reacted: "My county lord had a fever last night and only retired this morning, but whether he can see the guest or not, I still have to wait for the villain to ask for instructions." ”

Tong has said yes.

Xiao Lu went to Lin Ruan's courtyard in person.

Lin Ruan was leaning on the bed reading a book at this time, and there were two big charcoal basins in the room, the temperature was very pleasant, and the green calyx and a few little girls on errands were even so hot that they wanted to sweat.

Xiao Lu stood outside the door and made Tong's intention clear.

Lin Ruan flipped through the book in his hand, and had no intention of getting up. Although Tong said that she was here to thank her for Tong Miaoxin, she didn't want to see the people of the Dingguo Mansion.

Xiao Lu understood what Lin Ruan meant, and was about to reply, but was stopped again: "Steward Xiao, wait a minute, I'll let Lu Calyx go over." ”

After that, Lin Ruan beckoned the green calyx to his side and whispered a few words.

After hearing this, the green calyx nodded, and went out with confidence, and went to the front living room.

As soon as Xiao Lu entered the living room, he bowed his hand to the Tong clan and said, "Mrs. Shizi, it is very unfortunate that the county lord is very uncomfortable at this time, and he really can't get up and come over to see you." But I sent Yahuan over to see you for her. ”

Green Calyx smiled and blessed her: "I've seen Madame." ”

Tong Shi saw that Lin Ruan used a maid ring to send her, but he was not angry, and said to the girl ring with a smile: "Annoying girl tell the county lord, thank her very much for saving her life, if there is a place where I need help in the future, the county lord can just speak." ”

Lu Calyx said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "Madame is polite, the county lord of my family said that yesterday's incident, Miss Tong was innocently implicated in the water, and she should have been saved by her, and Mrs. does not have to be so polite." In addition, the county lord of my family has a few words for the slave to relay to his wife. ”

Tong nodded: "Girl, please speak." ”

Green Calyx cleared her throat silently: "The county lord of my family said that she admires the Dingguo Mansion very much, and she has no intention of forming a grudge with the Dingguo Mansion. Yesterday's words were just because Gu Ruan's behavior was too perverse, so he deliberately warned a few words. But what she said was indeed what she thought in her heart. If there is a next time, she will definitely ask the emperor for justice. At that time, please also ask the Dingguo Mansion not to blame the county lord for doing things too much. The principle of the county lord has always been that if people don't offend me, I won't offend anyone, and if people offend me, they will be repaid tenfold. The outstanding merits of the Dingguo Mansion are the honor that generations have exchanged for their lives, and if it is destroyed because of an unclear Gu Ruan, I am afraid that it will make the heroes and martyrs in the mansion angry. ”

After speaking, the green calyx saluted to the Tong family.

After the Tong family came out of the county lord's mansion, he got into the carriage and looked a little unsightly.

Her Yahuan said very unevenly: "This Fuyou County Lord's shelf is really big, and it is really too much to let Yahuan say such a thing!" Have you taken our Dingguo Mansion into account! ”

Tong Shi glanced at her coldly: "Why do people have to put the Dinggong Mansion in their eyes?" ”

Yahuan was stunned for a moment, and said in a daze: "Our Dingguo Mansion is the house of meritorious heroes, and we have made so many contributions to the Great Zhou, and even the emperor respects the grandfather of the country and several ......masters."

Tong Shi didn't wait for her to finish speaking, so he slapped him in the face: "You dare to say such bastard words!" Who gave you the guts! ”

Yahuan covered her face, and she was still a little puzzled: "Madam, where did the slave say wrong?" ”

Tong's eyes were cold: "This world is the world of the Great Zhou, the emperor's world, our Dingguo Mansion is also the emperor's people, the emperor is polite to the grandfather, it is the emperor's benevolence and generosity, not that the Dingguo Mansion really has such a big face." If I ever hear you say such bastard things again, don't blame me for pulling out your tongue! ”

The girls were all silent in fright, but they felt that the Tong family was a little too much. They set the state mansion, and they already have such a big face.

Tong's heart was a little heavy.

Even the people of their own family think so, what about the people of the world?

If even the people of the world think that the Dingguo Mansion has worked hard and made great achievements, and others should let them and follow them, what will the emperor think?

Will they think that their Shen family is highly meritorious?

If the county lord of Fuyou really made trouble with the emperor yesterday, how would the emperor react?

Her husband and children are guarding the border passes, and the honor of the Dingguo Mansion is the life of the Shen family for generations. If they are used by people with intentions, and the emperor is already jealous, what will happen to them if they set the state and the government?

In all dynasties, there are too many good generals who are not loyal. Could it be that they will not be able to avoid this ending in the future?

No! Absolutely not!

A trace of coldness flashed in Tong's eyes, and after returning to the mansion, he entered the study and wrote a sincere letter to his husband, listing Gu Ruan's style of behavior in the past few years.
