This wine was drunk until sunrise, and only Luo Yutuo drank one cup after another during the two of them, and Ling Haochen could only go with him if his dissuasion was ineffective. When he was almost drunk, he called Ling Yun to send Luo Yutuo back, looking at his back as he was helped to stagger and leave, Ling Haochen sat in the quiet study, his eyes were lonely and far-reaching.

After Ling Yun sent Luo Yutuo out of the study, he came back to report to Ling Haochen, and he listened to Luo Yutuo's request in the dark, and then asked: "Master, you obviously know that Taiwei Liu is difficult, why do you agree to Master Luo?" ”

Ling Haochen came back to his senses at this time, and his tone was far-reaching, as if he was answering his question, and as if he was talking to himself: "Where am I for Yutuo, if I help Jiang Qianqian solve this problem, her life should be better, right?" ”

Ling Yun's eyes shrank, thinking that Ling Haochen should have his own plans, so he retreated behind him and stopped speaking.

Ling Haochen picked up the book on the bookcase, just holding it, and the contents couldn't be read at all. After a while, he suddenly commanded: "Let people send the authentic Huaisu painting of the sea and rivers collected by this king to Taiwei Liu." ”

Ling Yun didn't speak, and went out quietly to do it. Before he reached the door, he heard Ling Haochen's voice again: "Remember to remind him that this king and Luo Yutuo are close friends." Growing up together since childhood, their feelings are different from others. And, if Taiwei Liu is free, he can come to Chenwangfu at any time to taste tea papers. ”

After listening to this, Ling Yun paused, and finally didn't say anything else, and left the study with a promise.

Ling Haochen was left to sit there alone, holding a book in his hand, but his eyes were staring at the dead branches outside the window, not knowing what he was thinking.

After three or five days, the wound on Jiang Wan's hand was about to scab over, but he still didn't see Mrs. Liu come to the door to ask for an explanation, and the prime minister's wife felt a little strange.

When she got up from a nap, she called her personal maid Qiuping in to wait for her to get up, and asked casually: "Have you ever sent someone to Taiwei's Mansion recently?" ”

"Never."

"Won't it?" The more the Prime Minister's wife thought about it, the more she felt that something was wrong, and said: "This is not right, it is not in accordance with common sense!" ”

Qiu Ping finished dressing her and was making the bed when she heard the prime minister's wife muttering. But she was just a maid, how did she know what Mrs. Liu was thinking, so she said: "Hey, the master is the prime minister, and the official residence is a product, I'm afraid Mrs. Liu doesn't want to offend the master, right?" ”

"No, it's possible if it's someone else. But Mrs. Liu is famously pedantic and difficult, and he has never been afraid of the master. At the critical moment, the prime minister's wife kept a clear head, and analyzed Taiwei Liu's character with the information she knew: "Liu Chen is his favorite son again, he grew up with gold and dignity since he was a child, and now he is beaten by Jiang Qianqian on the street, how can he swallow this breath?" And that Liu Chen, why wouldn't he give up! ”

One or two are like this, isn't it possible to change your temperament?

When the prime minister's wife said this, Qiu Ping also felt that something was wrong when she heard it. After thinking about it, she still persuaded: "Madam, don't think too much, we have already sent gifts to apologize that day." Besides, Liu Gongzi is fine, and Taiwei Liu also feels ashamed and refuses to mention it again, right? ”

The Prime Minister's wife still didn't believe it, but just shook her head and pondered.

Qiu Ping observed the look of the prime minister's wife, and in order to please her concern, she thought about the obscurity again. After thinking for a moment, she suddenly raised her head and said in a panic: "Madam, if he doesn't make a move on the bright side, I'm afraid that he will inevitably embarrass the master in the court!" ”

(b)

When Qiu Ping said this, the prime minister's wife suddenly seemed to have figured out something, nodded in agreement: "It should be, if he refuses to care about it in the open, I'm afraid that he will target the master in the court." ”

At present, it seems that there is only this one possibility, and the more the Prime Minister's wife thinks about it, the more anxious she becomes, and she only hates herself for not being able to help a backyard woman.

"All right, ma'am." Qiu Ping took a cup of tea and handed it to her, and gently persuaded: "Now that things have happened, it's useless to think about it." What's more, the master has been an official for decades, even if Taiwei Liu has the intention to make it difficult, the master should have his own countermeasures. ”

The prime minister's wife took the teacup and took a sip, and listened to Qiu Ping's persuasion, and finally calmed down. But when she thought of Jiang Qianqian, the more she thought about it, the more angry she became, slapped her palm on the table, and said hatefully: "I knew that she was not a good person, but Tuo'er was fascinated by her." ”

Qiu Ping is just a subordinate, where can she dare to accept the angry words of the prime minister's wife. She didn't dare to agree, so she could only persuade her to relax her mind: "Madam, the young lady is still young, and she is eager to protect her sister, so she doesn't notice it for a while." ”

But I never thought that the prime minister's wife would be even more angry after hearing this, and put the teacup on the table with a 'bang': "What I liked at the beginning was her ability, even if she is a temperamental businessman for so many years, the water chestnut should be smoothed." I thought she was sensible, but I didn't want to be so impulsive. ”

"Don't be angry, madam, I see that the lord should come back at this time." Qiu Ping was afraid that the prime minister's wife would be angry, so she helped her stroke her back and breathe down, and changed the topic by the way: "Madame, why don't you tap on the side and ask the master, it's better than thinking about it yourself, maybe nothing happened?" ”

This really went to the heart of the prime minister's wife, and she agreed: "Yes, not only that, but I also have to remind the master to beware of Mrs. Liu, so as not to be caught by him." ”

Later, a family of four was dining in the main hall, and the prime minister was talking to Luo Yutuo, reminding him that he must be careful in everything and not be careless.

After thinking about it for an afternoon, the prime minister's wife finally found the right time to ask. After sandwiching a piece of beef for the prime minister, she spoke: "Okay, sir." Today I ordered the kitchen to make your favorite stir-fried beef, so you can eat more. Tuo'er, this child has been diligent since he was a child, and he will be an adult after he gets married, so you should rest assured. ”

The prime minister nodded, glanced at Jiang Qianqian, who was sitting at the bottom, and echoed meaningfully: "Yes, yes, yes, I am also for his good." ”

The prime minister's wife looked at his face, took a bowl and served him a bowl of soup, and asked, "Master, I don't know what happened to the court in the past few days?" Is Mrs. Liu embarrassed you? When she asked this, the Prime Minister's wife was apprehensive, and she was afraid that things would turn out as she had guessed.

Cheng Xiang didn't like her to ask about Chao Shang, and he also knew that she was worried about herself, so he didn't refute her face. Shaking his head, he said, "No, don't worry!" ”

The prime minister's wife turned her mind and looked at Luo Yutuo, just when she saw a trace of discomfort flashing on his face, and the hand holding the vegetables also paused, she didn't say anything more, but just said a few words playfully to ease the atmosphere and stopped talking.

After eating dinner with their own thoughts, the prime minister took the lead in leaving the table and going to the study. Luo Yutuo and Jiang Qianqian were also about to get up and leave, but at this time, the prime minister's wife stopped them: "Qianqian, you can go back first, I have something to say to Tuo'er." ”
