On the third day of the Lunar New Year, Ji Mo returned to Beijing, met the saint early in the morning, and then came to Manxiangju out of the palace, Hu Man let people put wine, and the three of them ate together, Ji Mo's return to Beijing can be said to be caused by the martial arts, he told the emperor that Ji Mo is very effective in Qingtang County, and the living conditions of the people have improved, safe and stable.

And the reason why Ji Mo has not been able to come back is that the third prince is pressing, this time I don't know why, when the martial arts was mentioned to the emperor, the third prince did not speak out against it, plus the prince's side tried his best to agree, and Ji Mo actually did not make a big mistake, so he pushed the boat with the order.

After six or seven days of travel, he arrived in Changling, and today he came to thank Wu Zhan, Wu Zhan had no expression on his face, but fortunately, he was generally like this, and Ji Mo didn't notice anything.

Hu Man poured wine for the two: "By the way, has the murderer who killed Song Huai been found?" ”

Ji Mo shook his head: "It should be a wandering criminal, Qingtang County has been strictly investigating for a month and there has been no news, and it is very likely that he is no longer in the county." ”

Wu Zhan said in a deep voice: "That's really a pity, it's a good thing to suffer this catastrophe." ”

Ji Mo sighed: "That's no way, he has already settled his family before leaving, I hope he can leave with peace of mind." ”

Hu Man looked at his expression carefully, there was nothing wrong, but if he was really so black-bellied, he could plant and extinguish his mouth, and his natural psychological quality was strong, and he would not easily reveal anything on the surface.

Ji Mo raised his glass: "In the future, we will all be people who do things for the prince, so naturally we must support each other, I believe that the prince has a right-hand man like you, and there is no need to pay attention to any opponent." ”

Wu Zhan tugged at the corners of his mouth: "What I said is that we will work together well in the future!" ”

Hu Man was full before he interjected: "Master Ji, for so long, we haven't found any evidence of the third prince's arson, and there is no way to investigate, so we can't ask directly, what should I do?" ”

Ji Mo was stunned: "Does this still need to be checked?" It's an obvious thing, the evidence is really hard to find, let alone ask, but I don't think there is any need for evidence, the third prince is very ambitious, and his goal is not his throne at all! As long as you help the prince to eradicate his political enemies and ascend the throne smoothly, the three princes will be tantamount to collapse, and when the time comes, let the prince dispose of him, isn't it tantamount to revenge? ”

An official, actually said that there is no need to investigate, no evidence, just rely on judgment to convict a person, Wu Zhan was depressed, the more he looked, the more he found that things were really close to what he imagined, sometimes, he really would rather be done by the stronger third prince, rather than a person he once admired and believed, this feeling is really as uncomfortable as choking on eating.

Taking a deep breath, Wu Zhan calmed down: "Wu Yuan has to change his name and surname to go to the third prince, will it be too dangerous?" ”

"It's okay, the third prince doesn't know him, and he won't suspect anything for no reason, Wu Yuan is smart and knows what to do, if he can gain the trust of the third prince, it will be a very good help for us."

Wu Zhan nodded and said no more, but Hu Man knew that Wu Zhan deliberately said this because he wanted Ji Mo to bring a message to the people on the prince's side, so that they could think that Wu Yuan was from his side, so that they could help conceal their identities and protect Wu Yuan from being accidentally injured.

Hu Man went down after eating, leaving the two to drink, and Yezhi handed her a fruit plate: "Miss, I want to ask you something." ”

Hu Man took a slice of apple and looked at her distressed look: "What's wrong?" About Zhao Yuan? ”

Ye Zhi nodded and sat down next to him: "He said that he wanted me to pass through the door as soon as possible, but I think that may not be good then, I am afraid that it will make the Zhao family restless at that time, I am not afraid, but he is also embarrassed, and Master Zhao is also embarrassed, there is no need." ”

"Why? Are you afraid of Lu Jia? ”

Ye Zhi bit her lip: "I didn't say it when I was afraid that you would worry, she actually came to me and said that she would not let me be separated from Zhao Yuan, as long as I don't enter the door of the Zhao family, she will not embarrass me, but if I marry in, she will never make me comfortable, I am not afraid of her, but I don't want the Zhao family to be miserable because of me." ”

Hu Man raised his eyebrows: "And this is the matter?" So what is she trying to do? Since he doesn't care who Zhao Yuan is with, what does it matter if he can't enter the door? Anyway, the eldest lady is her! ”

"I don't know, even if it's not me, if Zhao Yuan wants to marry another woman, won't she let any woman enter the door?" Ye Zhi looked at Hu Man: "After all, not all men are the same as Wu Gongzi, ordinary women will not interfere with their husbands' concubines, especially in a family business like the Zhao family, it is impossible to have only one woman." ”

Hu Man took a bite of the apple and said thoughtfully: "She has no objection to you being with Zhao Yuan, and it is impossible not to let her husband take a concubine, but she is embarrassed for you......"

Hu Man suddenly bared his teeth: "What does this mean, is she targeting you?" Why is it targeted at you? Could it be that she is actually defending against me? ”

Yezhi opened her mouth wide: "Won't it?" "She really didn't think about it.

Hu Man stood up and walked back and forth a few times, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was possible, according to Zhao Yuan, Lu Jia knew about him and Yezhi before he got married, and he didn't say anything, let alone that he couldn't let her enter the door, but why did he suddenly regret it when he first got married, and he reacted so much?

She is Zhao Feng's daughter, but they only found out on the day they got married, and after they got married, she began to oppose her entering the door, not caring that Zhao Yuan liked her, but caring about her entering the door...... This in itself is quite contradictory.

Thinking of Zhao Yuan's always saying that Zhao Fengyu should keep the family business to himself, and Lu Jia is very opposed to his daughter inheriting the family business, everything is connected, and it seems that there is a clue.

That is, Zhao Yuan can be with anyone, he can also take a concubine, and he can be with Yezhi, she can't enter the door, if she wants to take a concubine, she must be another woman! Obviously, she saw that Yezhi had a good relationship with her, so she rejected Yezhi so much, she was afraid that Hu Man would covet Zhao Yuan's things, and she was even more afraid that Yezhi would help Hu Man!

Hu Man smiled helplessly: "It seems that I still bother you." ”

Ye Zhi hurriedly said: "How come? It's that I don't want to upset their father and son because of this. ”

Hu Man shook his head: "It's okay, you don't have to worry about this, Zhao Yuan will have a showdown with his father sooner or later, between them, there is already a pimple, and it will break out sooner or later, if you like it, I suggest that you don't have to suppress yourself, women, who doesn't want to be with the man they like justifiably, fortunately, Zhao Yuan is also willing to take responsibility and fight against his father for you, why don't you be brave?" ”

Yezhi didn't expect Hu Man to encourage herself: "This, is it really okay?" ”

Hu Man patted her hand: "You can talk to Lu Jia, you are just to be with Zhao Yuan, not for anything, let alone help me plot anything, if Lu Jia is willing to reconcile, then it is naturally best to get along, if she is still so stubborn, then don't be afraid of her, Zhao Yuan will protect you, and I will not watch her bully you." ”

"I'm not afraid of her." Ye Zhi said softly: "I didn't hesitate because I was afraid of someone to deal with me, I was afraid of causing trouble to Miss and Zhao Yuan." ”

Hu Man knocked on the table: "That's it!" You go and help me make an appointment with her, come to Manxiangju, and say that I have something to tell her. ”

"Still don't." Ye Zhi got up: "She talks so impulsively, don't be angry with you again, I'll talk to her myself." ”

"Will it work?" Don't look at Yezhi's strength is good, but when it comes to things between Xinyan and these women, she has never been good at it.

Ye Zhi smiled: "You have to get used to it, you can't shout and kill for the rest of your life, if you get married in the future, you have to contact everyone for anything, and you always let Miss help me pay it back?" ”

Hu Man nodded: "That's right, go early and come back early." ”

Ye Zhi answered, she really went to Zhao Mansion to find Lu Jia, she likes Zhao Yuan, she wants to be with him, the recent Zhao Yuan makes her feel distressed, and she doesn't want to escape anymore, she doesn't know what will happen in the future, but she can't always do nothing because she is worried, that step always has to be taken.

"Isn't this Miss Night?" The family said politely: "The young master is not here, I went out with the master." ”

Ye Zhi nodded: "I'm looking for the young lady." ”

"Oh, then follow me!"

Lu Jia is reading the account book in the house, it may be genetic, she didn't like any female red calligraphy and painting since she was a child, but she is very interested in business matters, this Nuoda Zhao Mansion expenses are in her hands, she naturally can't slack off.
