Ji Nanrou lowered her eyes and said, "Of course it's his own clothes, Dad, why are you suddenly asking this?" ”

Wei Guogong turned his head to look at Ji Nanrou with a serious face, "Rou'er, you really didn't cheat on your father?" ”

"My daughter doesn't dare, my father, please forgive my daughter for making a bold guess, did someone say something to my father?"

"You don't have to ask."

Ji Nanrou said: "Dad, Mei Fucheng has always been thinking of his father's kindness, and he is loyal to his father, Dad must not believe the rumors outside, this kind of means of separation, Dad has seen less?" ”

Wei Guogong thought for a while, nodded and responded: "What you said is not unreasonable, how can Dad believe any rumors, but if Dad asks you today, don't tell others." ”

Ji Nanrou bowed: "My daughter understands." ”

Ji Nanrou bowed her body to see her father leave, and when she saw that her father seemed to have believed her words, the stone in her heart fell to the ground.

The maid was puzzled: "Miss, how could the master suddenly become suspicious of Mei Fucheng?" ”

"Someone must have said something to my father, there is no shortage of people in Pingjing City, since Mei Fucheng is still willing to help me, then I naturally won't embarrass him."

Ji Nanrou turned around and went back to the house, while Wei Guogong walked around the garden, his steps slow.

On the one hand, Wu Xian swore to tell him that Mei Xiaoren had long been in contact with Gu Xiang and Wei University; On one side is his daughter's testimony, saying that the matter is false.

Who to trust and who not to believe...... He couldn't make up his mind.

As Wu Xian said, he is indeed planning for Mei Xiaoren wholeheartedly. This descendant has some skills, if he cultivates more, he will become a great tool, and he can assist His Royal Highness King Yu well in the future and help His Royal Highness to return to the imperial power.

But if Mei Xiaoren really has a different heart, his cultivation like this will not only be as simple as falling short, he is raising a confidant for himself......

Wei Guogong immediately called the housekeeper and instructed: "In the past few days, you have sent someone to follow Mei Fucheng to see where he has been, and if he goes out instead of going to the yamen, come back immediately to report it." ”

The housekeeper said: "Master, if you suspect that Mei Fu Cheng has different intentions, you can ask him to interrogate, if Mei Fu Cheng takes the initiative to admit that he has been to the Prime Minister's Mansion today, it means that he is not weak-minded, and he must have official business when he goes to the Prime Minister's Mansion." ”

"No, doing so will make Mei Xiaoren realize that I am suspicious of him, and he will also lose trust in me." Wei Guogong said solemnly, "You just need to send someone to follow quietly, don't let Mei Fucheng find out." ”

"Yes."

Within a few days, Wei Guogong learned the news that Mei Xiaoren had been ordered to be suspended by Gu Xiang.

Gu Xiang gave this order, as if he was helping Tao Mansion Yin to squeeze out his staff, but Wei Guogong was relieved, because this news could prove that Mei Xiaoren did have official business to go to the prime minister that day, and Tao Mansion Yin was also there.

Just when he was almost completely relieved, the housekeeper hurriedly came to report: "My lord, Mei Fucheng went out today and went to the west of the city, as if he was going out of the city." ”

"Out of town?"

The housekeeper replied: "Yes, I heard that Xiangye is not in the city today, and the slave doesn't know if it is related......

The cold wind was blowing, and the carriage drove straight to the west gate.

On the carriage, Ye Zhi wanted to speak several times, in his opinion, the suspension was not a good thing, and he was worried about the fate of his family.

Ye Zhi plucked up the courage and asked, "Can the adults still go back to the yamen?" ”

Mei Xiaoren smiled, "Why can't you?" ”

"If there is nothing wrong with the errands that the Shangjing Prefecture Office has done in the past few days, then what will the Prime Minister do with the adults?"

"Lao Ye, don't worry, I didn't do anything wrong, naturally I won't be demoted, maybe just give me a different seat." Mei Xiaoren replied easily.

Clinic on the outskirts of the city.

Mei Xiaoren and Ye Zhi got out of the carriage and walked into the courtyard, and saw that Dr. Shangguan was sorting out medicinal materials in the courtyard, and the two brothers and sisters were playing on the side.

She and Ye Zhi went into the house to visit Aunt Ye, and saw that Aunt Ye was sitting on the bed recuperating at this time, and her complexion was much better than when she first came.

Knowing that they were coming, Aunt Ye scolded Ye Zhi again: "Ye Zhi, your lord is busy with official business, how can you ask Lord to accompany you out of the city." ”

"Aunt Ye, don't blame Ye Zhi, Ye Zhi is so filial, how can you leave Aunt Ye here to ignore it." Mei Xiaoren looked at Ye Zhi and smiled, "I'm worried about your body, so I insist on coming with Ye Zhi, it's none of his business." ”

Doctor Shangguan said that although Aunt Ye's old disease was difficult to cure, he suggested that Aunt Ye continue to stay here to recuperate, and then go back with them when the weather warms up in the spring of the next year, so as not to freeze and get sick again.

Mei Xiaoren and Ye Zhi agreed with Dr. Shangguan's proposal, and Ye Zhi still wanted to stay and take care of his mother, but Aunt Ye did not agree and insisted on driving her son away.

Helplessly, they sat with Aunt Ye for a while and then left Yaolu.

The carriage drove away from the outskirts of the city, and another splendid carriage passed by them, attracting no one's attention.

The carriage stopped outside the medical house, and the housekeeper helped Wei Guogong get out of the carriage, pointed to the courtyard gate and said, "Master, this is the place where the Meifu Cheng just came." ”

Wei Guogong looked at the small grass house in front of him, and when he smelled the wind blowing in his face with a smell of medicine, he knew that this was a medical house.

The housekeeper's report today made his heart hang again, even if he still had doubts in his heart, he would not give anyone a chance to slander Mei Xiaoren, so he came over in person.

He doesn't believe rumors, he only believes that seeing is believing.

Wei Guogong didn't understand, even if Mei Xiaoren was sick, he would go to the medical center in the city for diagnosis and treatment, how could he go to the medical center on the outskirts of the city?

Moreover, Mei Xiaoren is not a person from Beijing, and he has no friends in the capital, so he can't say that he came to visit friends in the suburbs.

After thinking about this, Wei Guogong's doubts in his heart deepened, he pushed the door and walked into the courtyard, saw an old man taking care of medicinal materials, and asked: "Sir, dare to ask who that son came here to visit?" ”

Doctor Shangguan turned his eyes to look at the person who came and asked, "Then I don't know who you are?" ”

"Me? I'm a friend of the boy just now. ”

"Doctor Shangguan, Aunt Ye said that she wanted to come out for a walk, so I helped her out."

A clear child's voice came from the house, and then Wei Guogong saw a half-grown girl helping a woman out the door.

The woman was dressed in clean cloth and her gray hair was neatly combed, and she was a very refined person, and he had an old man.

Wei Guogong frowned deeply, looked at the woman for a long time, and slowly shouted: "Ah Zhen......"

After too long, he was worried that even if he didn't know each other, he was glad that he could still recognize them at a glance.

Ye Mu's eyes couldn't see, but her ears were still quite sensitive, she heard the voice, and hurriedly patted Feihua's little hand, "Girl, help me in." ”

Wei Guogong was surprised and delighted: "Ah Hao, it's really you!" ”

Mother Ye turned around and entered the house, leaving a sentence: "My lord, you have recognized the wrong person, the woman is not called Ah Zhen." ”

Wei Guogong hurried to catch up, and when Doctor Shangguan wanted to stop him, he asked the butler to keep him aside.
