Ye Zhi's mother was trapped here by Wei Guogong, Ye Zhi must have known, since he didn't stop it, then Aunt Ye would rarely be free.

Mei Xiaoren hesitated for a long time in front of the back room. If she takes Freedom and Feihua away, it is equivalent to leaving Aunt Ye here alone.

She was thinking a little when she heard Aunt Ye shouting, "My lord is here?" ”

Mei Xiaoren came back to his senses, answered yes, walked to the edge of the bed and sat down, and said with concern: "How is Aunt Ye lately, how is her body?" ”

"Master Lao cares, the problems around the women can't be cured, and they can get by anywhere." Aunt Ye smiled and asked again, "What about Ye Zhi, how is he, has he worried about the adults?" ”

Mei Xiaoren lowered his eyes, and only slowly spoke after a while: "Aunt Ye said that I laughed, when did Ye Zhi worry about me, I never used to, but now he is an official of the imperial court, and he will not cause trouble to others." ”

"Imperial court officials?" Ye Mu frowned for a moment, and asked anxiously, "He became an official?" ”

"Don't you know Aunt Ye?" Mei Xiaoren was in a fog. Ye Zhi would come to see his mother every once in a while, how could he not tell his mother about such an important matter as he entered the court as an official.

"How did he become an official? Isn't it Wei Guogong......" Ye Mu suddenly stopped when she said this.

If she asked, the adults would definitely get to the bottom of it, but there were some things in the past that she didn't want to mention anymore, let alone let others know.

"Aunt Ye, do you know Wei Guogong?"

Ye Mu hurriedly explained: "It was Ye Zhi who said that he got acquainted with Lord Guogong. ”

"Aunt Ye, don't worry, Ye Zhi has already got what he wanted a year ago and entered the Ministry of Officials on duty."

"Really?" Ye Mu replied softly.

Mei Xiaoren could hear that Aunt Ye's tone had become as fleeting as a floating feather, and she saw that Aunt Ye's expression had also darkened a lot, and she was even more puzzled.

The son has fulfilled his wish, why is he unhappy to be a mother?

"Aunt Ye, what's wrong with you?" She asked tentatively.

Ye Mu shook her head, and a thin smile appeared on her lips that were white due to illness, "It's nothing, I just can't believe it for a while, but what the adults said can be false, I am happy for Ye Zhi." ”

Mei Xiaoren looked at the Zizi Feihua brothers and sisters standing aside, and asked with a smile: "These two children didn't cause trouble to Aunt Ye, did they?" ”

"How can it be troublesome, with them as companions, the life of the people's women will not be difficult."

A maidservant girl came in with a medicine bowl and said, "Madame, it's time to drink the medicine." ”

Mother Ye asked Mei Xiaoren, "Are they sent by adults to take care of the women?" ”

Mei Xiaoren guessed that this should be Ye Zhi's hiding from his mother, she didn't know the reason, and she couldn't break it, so she said yes.

It is better to let Aunt Ye think that these people were arranged by her than to let Aunt Ye know that she has been trapped here.

Mei Xiaoren sat with Aunt Ye for a while and left alone, the thoughts in her heart had been dispelled, and no one took her away.

The smile on Mother Ye's face dissipated after Mei Xiaoren's footsteps disappeared, she sent the maidservant away, let Zizi Feihua also go outside to play, sat alone on the bed, and then slowly closed her eyes and choked a few times.

Her eyes can't see, but her heart is like a mirror, and she knows which words of adults are true and which ones are false.

"Ye Zhiah...... Ye Mu cried out in tears, and her thin hand clenched the futon in an instant, how sad was it......

Under the scorching sun, the door in the middle of the Wei Mansion slowly opened, making a heavy and solemn sound, as if welcoming the people who were entering from the middle gate.

After Ye Zhi entered the door, he walked straight to the front hall, and the officials on both sides of the Hou bowed down respectfully, even though some of them were far above him.

Ye Zhi was dressed in a splendid straight robe, his steps were vigorous and steady, and when he entered the front hall, he saluted the person on the main seat and called, "Father-in-law." ”

Wei Guogong smiled with satisfaction, and personally got up to help him stand up, "Hurry up and excuse me." ”

"Thank you, father-in-law." Ye Zhi said calmly.

An official next to the hall took the lead in waving his hand: "Congratulations to Lord Guogong for having a righteous son, the son is in his prime, he is the talent of the country, and he will be able to share the worries of Lord Guogong and His Majesty in the future. ”

The officials inside and outside the hall echoed: "Congratulations to Lord Guogong." ”

"You have just escaped from prison, and the old man is really ashamed to talk about this...... "Wei Guogong gestured to the officials around him, "I'm sorry." ”

"Lord Guogong doesn't need to feel guilty, this time it's cunning, taking advantage of this turmoil to get rid of dissidents, trapping me is tantamount to injustice, and I have calculated many times against adults, I don't complain about Lord Guogong." The official sighed, "The lowly rank was not caught by Gu Xiang to escape, but several adults were dismissed for just a small mistake, and there was also a beheaded Master Ma, which is really ......."

"Flies don't bite eggs, they are officials and losers, and the old man can't protect them, you need to learn from them in the future, you can't do anything that can't be done, don't let the prime minister catch the tail." Wei Guogong solemnly admonished.

The crowd replied, "I understand my humble position." ”

Wei Guogong retracted his gaze and looked at Ye Zhi, and patted him on the shoulder, "Ye Zhi, in the future, you will live in the Guogong Mansion and stay by your father-in-law's side, and your father-in-law will treat you as his own son, and plan for you wholeheartedly, so that you can have a bright future, which will be no worse than Mei Xiaoren before." ”

"Cultivation by Father Xie."

Duke Wei invited Ye Zhitong to sit on the throne, and sighed after sitting down: "My father-in-law has long wanted to accept you as my son-in-law, but who knows that you can't trust your father-in-law when you think about it now?" ”

Ye Zhi shook his head, "No, Ye Zhi still has a past in the past, and he didn't think about the future." ”

"Alas, this time it was my father-in-law who didn't think about it, and he lost to Gu Xiang, and he couldn't vent his anger for you, but there is still a chance in the future, Mei Xiaoren can escape the first year of junior high school, but he can't escape the fifteenth."

Ye Zhi said: "Father-in-law, Ye Zhi's grievances are over, and he will only live for his own future in the future, and no longer think about anything else." ”

"Well, since you have let go, then the father-in-law will no longer pursue it."

An official said: "Lord Guogong, Gu Xiang took advantage of this turmoil to win the hearts of the people, which is very disadvantageous to us, and I hope that Lord Guogong will have an idea of how to save the situation." ”

Wei Guogong was also saddened by this, "The Guogong Mansion and you can survive until now, relying on the Queen Mother and Your Majesty are willing to listen to the old man's words and the people's wishes, and now Gu Xiang is proud, how can the old man not be anxious, but the Prime Minister's Mansion still has the upper hand in this matter, and it is not easy to deal with it......"

"The righteous father is not in a hurry, in response to the Xia State troops, it is still the righteous father who conforms to the will of the people, the people are afraid of the war, and they are looking forward to living a peaceful life, as long as the righteous father insists on his own opinion, they will definitely support the Guogong Mansion as before." Ye Zhiyan said.

"The old man insisted on killing Mei Xiaoren before, he was hoping that Gu Xiang would make concessions for him, but who knew that he had miscalculated, and now my old man can't find Gu Xiang's weakness, how can he insist on his own views and compete with Gu Xiang?"

"Ye Zhi has an idea, which can solve the problem of his father-in-law, even if Gu Xiang refuses to give in, he can also let the Guogong Mansion win back the hearts of the people."
