Because of the case of the Jian'an Hou Mansion, the personnel of the Criminal Department began to get busy non-stop, but there was no noise, everything was silent, and no one even dared to speak loudly in the yamen, because the faces of the squire of the Criminal Department and Zhao Enhao, the prince of Jian'an Hou, were already darker than a smoker.

The twilight is deepening, the clouds are thickly covering the originally blue and clear sky, and the transparent raindrops are washing away the dark and dirty hearts of the world.

Zhao Shicheng, the marquis of Jian'an, stepped on the puddle, quickly turned out of the alley of the royal courtyard, stopped under a big tree that was not towering, and looked up to see the tender green buds on the treetops and the gray sky overhead.

The spring breeze blew through the treetops, and in the rain curtain, the raindrops between the leaves fell, and the cold drips fell on the neck, flowing down the collar to the back ridge, Zhao Shicheng trembled and woke up in an instant.

"You don't need to show me anything, if I don't believe them, I won't let them deal with it, and you too, when you're old, there are some things that you should let go of, let them do it, rely on the old and sell the old...... But it's the most annoying. Emperor Zhou Sheng's ambiguous words echoed in the ears of Zhao Shicheng, the Marquis of Jian'an.

"Hou Ye, Hou Ye?" The little guy drove the carriage over, looked at the Marquis of Jian'an, and whispered twice.

Zhao Shicheng was drenched in the rain for a while, and his head became clear, the lives of a few girls, in the eyes of the children, may be a big deal, but in the eyes of the emperor, it is really a small thing, life and death have a fate, this creed, in the heart of the emperor who is used to seeing the ups and downs of life and even life and death, is probably a truth.

Zhao Shicheng stepped on the carriage, the curtain of the carriage was lifted, and seeing Zhao Enhao staring at him with a tense face, Zhao Shicheng was stunned, glanced at him secretly, and didn't say anything, only ordered: "Go back to the Hou Mansion." ”

The carriage moved slowly.

"Father, what did the emperor say?" Zhao Enhao lifted the car curtain, looked out, and saw that there was no movement around, so he turned around and lowered the car curtain, looked at his father Zhao Shicheng and asked.

Zhao Shicheng leaned back, made himself more comfortable, and looked at Zhao Enhao with his eyes, "The emperor said, let you investigate and deal with it yourself, and also said, let's be old, let go when we should let go, relying on the old and selling the old is the most annoying, you also hate you and me?" ”

Zhao Enhao choked, how could the emperor say this so accurately?

In this case, they really don't want the elders to interfere too much, once they do, it is easy to make things even more complicated.

"Humph!" Zhao Shicheng glanced at Zhao Enhao, closed his eyes and rested, ignoring him.

In the blink of an eye, it was another day, and after the rain, Liu Wentao's carriage procession finally appeared at the gate of Jinjing City.

Zhao Enhao took the subordinates of the Hou Mansion of Jian'an and Liu Zhenhan to greet him personally.

Liu Wentao had already received the gifts and letters sent by the Marquis of Jian'an, and he also learned about the emperor's acquiescence from the family letter, and his heart was full of mixed feelings.

Liu Wentao is a person who is not good at words, almost all the way Zhao Enhao is talking, he just listens with a simple smile, Liu Zhenhan silently followed behind the two, and did not step forward to interject, his current mind is entangled in the fact that Lu Fangfei is about to marry into the prince's mansion and become the crown princess.

Fang Ci was a female dependent, so she didn't show up, but was sent by Liu Wentao and Liu Zhenhan to escort back to Liufu first.

Zhao Enhao stared at Fang Ci's carriage until he couldn't see it, and then slowly changed the topic.

While walking, he said: "Lord Liu may not know, a few days ago, something happened in the children's mansion, and it just so happened that there was something involved with the eldest lady of your mansion, and the ...... at this time" Seeing that Liu Wentao was stunned, his steps also stopped, and he smiled and said with relief: "It's okay, it's not a big deal, it's just some...... Don't worry about the procedure, I have everything in my hands, I'll tell you in advance, I'm afraid that you will suddenly know about it, and you will be worried. Rest assured, rest assured. ”

Liu Wentao is just honest but not stupid, although he is not good at words, but in the end, he has made a name for himself by virtue of scientific research and has been a bad official for many years, after a little thought, he pointed out sharply, "But Tingting has been controlled now?" ”

Zhao Enhao's eyebrows moved almost inaudibly, he didn't expect Liu Wentao to think of it so quickly, and nodded helplessly, "Well, now the Criminal Department, I have someone to protect her, and now the situation is unclear, I'm afraid that someone will do something on her." ”

Liu Wentao just thought about it a little, and a layer of cold sweat already broke out on his back, Liu Tingting is his eldest daughter, although she is a concubine, but she is her own child, as a parent, even if she is old and stupid, she doesn't understand anything, but she will still remember to be good to her children, which is probably the common denominator of all parents.

Zhao Enhao took Liu Wentao directly to the Criminal Department, Liu Wentao was really worried about Liu Tingting, and wanted to see his daughter, Zhao Enhao naturally agreed.

Liu Tingting had already finished washing up, ate the breakfast that Zhao Enhao had ordered someone to prepare for her, and was reading a book in the house at this time.

"Tingting ......" Liu Wentao stepped into the courtyard and saw his daughter Wenwen quietly standing by the bookshelf in the study reading books, and shouted excitedly.

"Father......" Liu Tingting heard Liu Wentao's voice, quickly turned her head, and when she saw Liu Wentao striding into the yard, her eyes lit up, and she responded cheerfully, and the sunlight was slanted through the shadows of the trees, which made her look bright and moving in silence.

When the father and daughter met, the eyes of the two unconsciously, there were tears in their eyes, Zhao Enhao did not follow in, he was not qualified at this time, and he had no identity, standing by Liu Tingting's side, and accepting Liu Wentao's father's love with her.

Zhao Enhao arranged for Liu Tingting to live in the room that was usually prepared for Zhou Minhao to rest temporarily, it was very clean, and temporarily let people add a stepping bed and put it on the inside of the house, and the outside was a desk and bookshelves, Zhao Enhao knew that Liu Tingting liked to read and practice calligraphy, so everything was well prepared, Liu Tingting was here, except that she couldn't bring her own girl in to serve, there was no shortage of others.

Liu Tingting saw Zhao Enhao stop outside the courtyard, his palm-sized face was even darker and darker with the soft light of the early morning, looked at him with a smile, raised his volume a little, and said, "Why don't you come in?" ”

Liu Wentao and Zhao Enhao were stunned at the same time.

A surprise, a surprise.

Liu Zhenhan went to the household department to find Zhou Minhao to receive the task, at this time in the house, there were only Liu Wentao and Zhao Enhao two "guests", Zhao Enhao ordered his subordinates to serve tea, and he has been sitting quietly, listening to Liu Tingting's cheerful voice, asking Liu Wentao some things about his daily life.

"Shizi, did you tell my father about the case?" Liu Tingting asked.

Zhao Enhao's eyes didn't dare to stare at Liu Tingting's face, he only hung his head slightly, "Hmm." "Yes.

"Father, look, there's really nothing to be nervous about, Yun Yun told me about something, you can ask her when you go back, I'm here, and the prince and the second highness are also taken care of, so there's really nothing to worry about, the clear ones are self-purifying, and we are not afraid of anything."

Liu Tingting looked at Liu Wentao with a smile, although her voice was cool and a little sweeter, it can be seen that the relationship between father and daughter is really good.

Liu Wentao was also helpless, he had no other way than to nod, the Criminal Department investigated the case, and as a member of the Ministry of Rites, he could not participate, otherwise it would be overstepping his authority. But in the end, there is the shadow of his eldest uncle Liu Siming in his heart, and he no longer believes in the phrase "those who are clear are self-purifying".

"Lord Shizi, you ......" Liu Wentao said with difficulty, he had never begged anyone in his life, he would not beg anyone, but for the sake of his daughter and his family, he had to open his mouth to beg, "If you can help, just help Tingting more, she is only a fourteen-year-old girl." ”

Zhao Enhao hurriedly helped Liu Wentao, "Lord Liu is polite, help Tingting ......" paused, obviously he reacted, and called Liu Tingting's maiden name before he could discuss his relatives, or in front of his future father-in-law, it was very inappropriate, coughed, and continued: "There is no question of whether to help or not, Miss Liu is honest and upright, and the evil devil can't hurt her." ”

Liu Wentao heard this art very clearly, and he was secretly relieved.

However, just now Liu Tingting said that His Royal Highness also helped, what does it mean?

Liu Wentao didn't dare to ask, and he knew in his heart that this was not something he should ask, so he silently buried the question in his heart.

Fang Ci returned home, and Aunt Sun took Aunt Yan and her two daughters to greet her at the door of the second gate.

Fang Ci got down from the carriage and tears came out as soon as he saw the two aunts. She had never been away from home for such a long time.

Liu Yunyun took Liu Rongrong's hand, stepped forward to hold her arm, and pouted and complained: "Mother, you only have two aunts in your heart, and you don't want me and my sister?" ”

Fang Ci burst into tears and laughed, and poked Liu Yunyun's head, "You kid, you're getting more and more unruly." "Although it is educational, it is not strict at all, not only is it not strict, but it is also full of spoiling.

It seems that sometimes, it makes sense that distance produces beauty.

Waiting for Fang Ci to walk into the house, Fang Ci turned his head and looked around, and asked suspiciously, "What about Tingting?" ”

The smile on Aunt Yan's face froze, and Aunt Sun hurriedly said, "Go and help the prince of Jian'an Hou investigate the case." As he spoke, he pointed to the sky, "There is an order from above." ”

Liu Yunyun had to sigh, Aunt Sun was still smart, after saying a word, whether it was Fang Ci or Aunt Yan, they would not worry much anymore.

"Rong Rong, let's go and help my mother pack up her things, okay?" Liu Yunyun and Liu Rongrong were a few adults behind, and when they saw that they were talking and laughing, they walked towards Xuande Courtyard, grabbed Liu Rongrong, bent down slightly, and looked down at her.

"Okay." Liu Rongrong replied to Liu Yunyun's crisp voice of promise, and also gave a sweet smile.

Liu Yunyun smiled and rubbed her little head, her sister is really a little sweetheart.

At this time, where would Liu Yunyun have thought that the soft and cute little girl could have so courage to pursue her own happiness in the future.
