Chapter 31: The Man Behind the Scenes

The prefectural mansion after nightfall was no different from usual, except that there was one less maid called a maid.

Master Chen has the habit of reading, even if he has been an official for many years and has made no achievements, he still adheres to the habit of the scientific expedition that year, and reads every night in the study with the lamp in hand.

(Author: Speaking of the county magistrate, you have no achievements, what books are you reading?) County Order: I'm happy, what are you doing! )

It's just that there is one more person in the study tonight, and the noble son in purple clothes is lazily leaning on the mink soft chair that Lord Chen usually sits.

Mu Yusheng casually took a book from the bookshelf behind him, and looked at it without a page, and then glanced at Chen Dadao, who was standing respectfully in front of him; "It's all done?"

Lord Chen stood with his head bowed, his tone was very respectful, "It's all done, but the lower officials don't embarrass Miss Wei for half a point!" ”

"Well," Mu Yusheng nodded lightly, then her sexy lips moved slightly, and she asked slowly, "How did the Hua family do that?" ”

Lord Chen hurriedly said, "Son, please rest assured, according to the report of the people below, Mrs. Yu has gone to the Wei family today to withdraw from the marriage, and also sent someone to ask the lower official, when can I meet Miss Lingxi?" ”

Mu Yusheng snorted disdainfully when he heard this, "In the end, a ninth-rate merchant deserves to be worried about Lingxi?" ”

said that his eyes were cold, and he was a little annoyed for a moment, "That's it, it's all because Lingxi's girl is not angry, why did she fall in love with the colorless flower." ”

Master Chen didn't dare to answer casually, and only spoke after a while, "Then what else does Childe have to tell next?" ”

"No, I'll let you know if there's something."

As soon as the words fell, the young man who was leaning on the soft chair in the blink of an eye was gone.

The study was silent, only Lord Chen was left with a slight sigh of relief, and then wiped the corners of his forehead...

The next day, Wei Shu got up earlier than usual, in her past life and in this life, she was shackled by the shackles of marriage at her fingertips, and now that the Hua family has withdrawn from the marriage, she can be regarded as able to breathe a breath of free air.

Standing in front of the railing, and then looking at the flowers in the garden, I feel more pleasing to the eye than usual.

"Miss, the bird's nest is stewed, you can eat some quickly."

Wei Shu glanced sideways at Rong'er, this girl listened to the words of the housemother and sent bird's nest to herself on time every day.

It's just that eating such a slimy thing in the early morning is really a little disgusting, and he immediately waved his hand and said, "I don't want to eat today, you can eat it for me." ”

Hearing this, Rong'er was shocked, and quickly knelt down, "Miss, the slave doesn't dare, this... It's Madame for you..."

Wei Shu turned to look at Rong'er, raised his eyebrows and said, "I don't eat it, and I can't bear to ask you to eat such a good thing, why are you so excited?" ”

Who knew that Rong'er directly slammed her head on the ground and said, "Miss, don't let Madame know, she will sell the maid immediately." ”

"Okay, get up, I won't eat it anyway, just watch and deal with it yourself." Wei Shu stepped forward and helped Rong'er up.

Rong'er got up and secretly glanced at the bowl of bird's nest and breathed a sigh of relief.

"By the way, do you remember the names of the people you wrote down yesterday?" Wei thought about it and then remembered to get down to business.

"Well, it's all written down, and the slave will take it to the young lady."

Rong'er turned around and went downstairs as she spoke, and after a while, she came up again and handed her a booklet in her hand.

Wei Shu returned to the table and sat down, opened the booklet, which recorded the names of those people who were surrounded outside the public court yesterday, and handed it to Rong'er after reading it, "You go to the mansion to find a reliable person to check these people for me, probe their mouths, and try to ask the person behind them to spread rumors."

"Yes, Miss." Rong'er wrote down her words word by word in her heart.

Wei Shu rubbed his temples, although Qingcheng is not big, but it is not small, it is located at the intersection of Youzhou, Jinzhou and Jizhou, and it is a hub for business and trade between the three places.

It is also a place where wealthy businessmen gather, in addition to the flower family that stands out from the crowd, business portals like the Wei family are mostly grabbed at hand.

Some people want to use their own affairs to spread rumors about the Wei family, so as to affect the Wei family's industry, so as to achieve the goal of carving up or monopolizing.

But there are so many competitors in the Wei family's business that even the guards haven't figured out who is secretly sniping at them.

The so-called enemy is in the dark and I am in the light, which makes it even more difficult for the Wei family.

Judging from the last time Wei Shu went to inspect the family business, I am afraid that it will not be long before their family will become an old man.

I don't know if the merchants in Daqin will be restricted from spending low or imprisoned or something if they go bankrupt.

But in fact, Wei Shu thought too much, if the merchants in the Qin State lost too much money and owed huge debts, then all the wives and concubines of this person would be sold as slaves...

"Miss, the colorless boy is asking to see him outside the mansion."

The little red who guards the garden comes to report.

Wei Shu frowned slightly, "What is he going to do if this marriage is withdrawn?" ”

Xiaohong and Rong'er shook their heads at the same time, this is to ask the flowers to be colorless, how do they know!

Xiaohong said, "Because the master said that since the Hua family has returned, there is no need to come to our house again, so he didn't let the colorless boy come in, but he didn't leave, and he kept waiting outside." ”

Wei Shu pondered for a moment, but decided to go and see the flower colorless.

And Hua Wuse stood in front of the guard for a long time and didn't see anyone come out, or let herself in, knowing that it was her mother's insistence on resigning from the marriage that angered the guards.

So I don't know how the ghost sent the god to the female wall where he and Wei Shu met under the peach blossom rain last time.

And Wei Shu also because her father did not allow her to go out to see the flowers colorless, so she had no choice but to come over the female wall and go out over the wall.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she went up to the roof, she saw a white flower like snow, and she was so frightened that she almost planted it directly from the roof.

As soon as Hua Wuse heard the movement, she raised her eyes and saw the girl in a smoke-blue Luo skirt, with a pair of crystal beautiful eyes looking at herself.

"Shu'er, is it okay not to see you for a long time?" The flowers are colorless and warm and moist to open.

Wei Shu pursed his mouth, "There's nothing bad, I have to thank you, you found the Wuchenzi Daoist, and Mrs. Yu also persuaded her to invite Master Xuanchan to come and testify, right?" ”

Hearing this, Hua Colorless lowered her head and smiled, she was as smart as Shu'er, she really can't hide anything from you, in fact, I came to apologize to you in person today. ”

"Apologize? Not to use! ”

Wei Shu raised his eyebrows and said, "If you want to apologize for Mrs. Yu's divorce yesterday, then you don't have to, we don't know each other well, and we were tied together because of the relationship that we were married to back then, but if you think about it carefully, in fact, we all have the right to pursue happiness, right?"

Although the dissolution of this marriage contract will make me a little embarrassed, but are you and I also free? ”

Hua Wuse's complexion changed suddenly, and her originally handsome face was now covered with a layer of melancholy.
