After all, she couldn't go back this night, Xue Ying had to stay in Zhuangzi, and got up early the next morning to find Xu Shu, but was stopped outside by Treading Snow, Xu Shu was in the house, in front of Xu Shu, Xue Ying didn't dare to conflict with Treading Snow, and waited for half an hour before Xu Shu got up.

On the way back, Bangfeng talked about Treading Xue's feat today, Xu Shu couldn't help but wonder, "Your sister Treading Snow has a good temper, and I don't know what Xue Ying has done to make her anxious like this!" ”

Bang Feng pursed her lips, "Sister Xue Ying is just an errand runner, Sister Xue is not angry with her!" "Xue Ying was just angry.

Xu Shu smiled and didn't speak.

Bang Feng said again, "Sister Taxue is all for the good of Miss, she is not afraid of anything for Miss, and anyone dares to offend!" ”

"You ......," Xu Shu's tone suddenly stopped, "you take good care of yourself, it's the best thing for me!" ”

Bang Feng was stunned for a long time, and muttered in a low voice, "Then you didn't take care of yourself!" ”

Xu Shu couldn't help laughing, "Stop, I was lectured by your sister Taxue yesterday, you are here again, please spare me, so that my ears are clean and clean, and when I go home, there will be a lot of noise!" ”

"Fuli...... What's going on? Seeing that Xu Shu looked unhurried and impatient, she couldn't help but be curious.

"Something happened to the Song family......"

Back at Xu's house, he didn't even have time to drink saliva, Xu Shu was called to Chunhui Courtyard, sure enough, Zhou was also there, compared to the last panic, today's Zhou is full of horror, like a frightened bird, seeing Xu Shu is like seeing a savior, last time she was able to save her son, this time it will definitely be okay.

Xu Shu sat down and looked at the upper seat, "What's the matter with my mother calling me back in such a hurry?" Xue Ying didn't say a word, it happened to be past the curfew yesterday, and I was anxious all night! ”

"I'm sorry for you!" Seeking from others, Lee's attitude is extraordinarily gentle.

"Auntie is too!" Xu Shu turned sideways to greet Zhou.

"Virtuous niece!" Zhou smiled very much.

After serving tea, Li Shi pondered and said, "Do you remember the incident when you and your Aunt Song entered the palace a while ago to congratulate the Empress Dowager on her birthday?" ”

Xu Shu nodded, "Naturally remember!" ”

Glancing at Zhou, Zhou closed his eyes in shame, the Song family couldn't hide the involvement of the Song family in the corruption case, and it didn't hurt to say to Xu Shu, Li continued, "That day, your Aunt Song entered the palace to see Concubine Wen, and the two uncles of your Song family were involved in a case, but what did the top mean so far, you Aunt Song wanted to ask Concubine Wen to help find out the news, and didn't want the news that Concubine Wen was seriously ill in the palace yesterday, in desperation, thinking that you were often in the palace, your Aunt Song came to find you!" ”

Xu Shu turned his head sideways and "looked" at Zhou, "What does aunt mean ......?" ”

Zhou blushed and said, "I know this makes you embarrassed, but our Song and Xu families are in-laws, one is prosperous and the other is lost, you don't want to see the Song family in trouble, watching your sister marry into a dilapidated and declining family, right?" "Inferior to a junior, Zhou felt ashamed in his heart.

Xu Shu said with a smile, "Aunt may as well say it directly, I will never postpone if I can help!" ”

Zhou's face turned even redder, "I...... The virtuous niece is favored by the Empress Dowager, and there will be a large number of rewards in the palace every New Year's Festival, which is better than how many county lords and county monarchs of the royal family, the Empress Dowager loves her niece so much, if the virtuous niece asks for something, the Empress Dowager will definitely give the virtuous niece three points of thin noodles! ”

Xu Shu was surprised, "Aunt means to ask me to go to the Empress Dowager to inquire about the news?" ”

Of course, Zhou's didn't mean this, and it didn't mean more than that, but seeing Xu Shu's expression, it seemed that she had already embarrassed her by finding out the news, so how could she say the next words.

Li coughed and said, "Don't interject, let your aunt finish!" ”

Xu Shu looked at the Zhou family again, the Zhou family hesitated for a moment, thinking about the current situation of the Song family, and he couldn't care about his face, "Aunt is begging if you can tell the Empress Dowager that our Song family is willing to double, no, triple the repayment of the embezzled money, and then take this matter lightly!" Even the word "ask" was used, and Zhou's posture was low enough.

Seeing that Xu Shu was stunned, Zhou explained, "We are different from those who sell official positions, we didn't do anything hurtful, it's just ...... is to use his position to get some oil and water, this is the norm in officialdom, everyone is like this, not just us! ”

"Auntie...... I ......" Xu Shu hesitated.

Xu Shu really didn't expect the Song family to plan like this, can three times the repayment erase the fact of corruption? Corruption is corruption, no matter how many reasons, no matter how many excuses, it is still corruption! Is the idea of triple repayment the meaning of the two masters of the Song family? A person who has been in the officialdom for many years and has been in a high position can only come up with such a bad idea, is he desperate, or is there something else?

"Auntie knows you're in trouble! Aunt doesn't force you, you beg you for your sister's sake, so help the Song family this time, go and ask the Empress Dowager for a favor, and in the next life, your aunt will repay your great kindness! ”

The Zhou family mentioned Xu Ting every time, and suddenly poked the soft meat in Li's heart, "Sister Shu, it's almost winter, you are also going to enter the palace to offer incense, while the Empress Dowager is happy, it is not difficult for you to mention a sentence or two!" ”

"The Empress Dowager Niangniang said that the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, this spring Ji Concubine was given death because of her father's request for an official, in order to deter the harem, the Empress Dowager did not hide this matter, and the whole Beijing knew it! Is the mother asking her daughter to die? Xu Shu hung her head, and her confused tone made people feel heartache.

Li choked and said bitterly, "How can you give up for your mother?" How can the matter be as serious as you said, Concubine Ji is not only angry with the Empress Dowager because of the matter of asking for officials, she has no one in her eyes, she contradicted Concubine Shu several times, and brought banned drugs into the palace from outside the palace before she was given death! ”

"Yes, yes!" Zhou nodded, "We are different, Concubine Ji is greedy for money and power, and it is for profit, we ...... You feel sorry for your sister, and you can't bear to let your sister suffer at a young age, so you went to intercede! ”

"That's right!" Xu Shu tugged at the corners of her mouth, "You can be corrupt for your own selfish interests, and after the incident, you will spit it out again in order to save your life, and I, for my own selfish feelings, disregard the national law and disturb the harem, where is this kind of selfish behavior in the big Yin law?" ”

Zhou was speechless when asked rhetorically, and Li was speechless, the two looked at each other for a moment, their eyes were full of doubts, there seemed to be something wrong with Xu Shu today, she had never refuted other people's requests so sharply before.
