In the second half of the morning, after school, Wu Yuan hurriedly left the small cross courtyard and went to the west courtyard to find his second uncle.

Wu Zhonghe was very surprised when he saw Wu Yuan, "Yuan Niang, why do you have time to come to the second uncle today?" ”

Wu Yuan bowed and said softly: "My niece came to ask about my father's case. ”

Wu Zhonghe was taken aback when he heard this, Wu Yuan was so dignified, how could he think of asking about this matter, could it be that someone was talking nonsense in front of her?

After Wu Zhonghe instructed his subordinates to serve tea, he motioned for Wu Yuan to sit down and speak slowly.

"That case happened suddenly, when the accident happened, we were holding three banquets for you, the officers and soldiers suddenly rushed in to arrest your father, and finally Feiyuwei also came, your father seemed to have expected it a long time ago, just told me to take over the family business, was taken directly to the capital by Feiyuwei, my uncle and I saw the notice issued by the government and hurried to the capital to ask for people, and finally asked Qin Xiangye, your father finally changed the death sentence to exile, all the way it happened." Wu Zhonghe said with a sigh.

Wu Yuan pondered his uncle's words carefully, his father had expected it a long time ago? Could it be that my father knew something in advance and had been waiting for someone from the government to come?

"You don't have to think about it anymore, after so many years, fortunately, your father is still alive, this case can't be overturned, your girl's family rarely asks about these outside, so as not to fall into the hands of those who have a heart and make a big fuss about it." Wu Zhonghe paused, "I heard your second aunt say, did you move to Zhuxuan?" Are you still used to living? Do you want the second uncle to send someone to renovate it? ”

Wu Yuan said respectfully when he heard this: "Thank you second uncle for your concern, my niece and nephew should be punished for making mistakes, although Zhuxuan is remote, but it is also very good, there is no need to trouble the second uncle." ”

Wu Zhonghe said softly: "If you have any grievances, just tell your second aunt that your grandmother is old, you juniors should be more considerate of her, and after a few days, your grandmother's anger will be gone." ”

Wu Yuan nodded, bowed and bowed, walked out of Wu Zhonghe's study, and went to Zhuxuan.

The west courtyard is a long way from Zhuxuan, and it has to pass through the outer courtyard, Wu Yuan thought about it, and was about to copy the path back, and was walking under the corridor, when he saw a person flashing in the second uncle's study.

Wu Yuan quietly passed over to the flower wall and hid under the eaves of the window.

"The eldest lady just came looking for you?"

Wu Zhonghe said lightly: "Well, I asked some things about the former eldest brother, and I sent him away without a word." ”

"She's not suspicious, is she? If not, we can find a way to help you get rid of her. The man laughed wistly, his voice a little sharp.

Wu Zhonghe hurriedly stopped, "No, she doesn't know anything, it's just a little girl who is curious about her father's affairs, she is still young, and she won't get in the way." ”

"If you're too curious, it's going to kill people, second master, those who become big things don't have to be informal, I think you understand this truth, right? You don't need a slave to teach you, do you? The man said in a weird manner, "Xiangye is a little anxious, this business has not improved at all, but the Jiang family that has been hugged together has also robbed a lot of business, you have to think of a way!" If you are useless, the Wu family still has a third master! Although Xiang Ye wants you to take over the Wu family, you have to make some achievements, so that the slave can give Xiang Ye an errand! ”

I only heard Wu Zhonghe holding back his anger and said in a deep voice: "I have my own measure!" You can rest assured that Xiangye is! ”

Hearing the sound of the study opening the door, Wu Yuan hurriedly pulled up his skirt and quietly hid behind the flower wall, waiting until the man was far away, and then hurriedly walked towards Zhuxuan.

Who is that person, it is too far away, that person is dark, there is no palm lamp in the courtyard, and he can't see his appearance clearly at all, but from this person's words, the second uncle is doing business with Qin Xiangye? How did they get together?

This person is Qin Xiangye's eyeliner, how can he come and go freely in the Wu family?

Could it be that from the beginning, I was wrong, what role did the second uncle play in my father's case? What did he know, but didn't tell himself?

Wu Yuan's heart was in a mess, and he went straight to Zhuxuan with a worried heart.

"Cousin?"

Wu Yuan was taken aback when he heard this, and exclaimed, "Who is there?" ”

I saw Zhou Biao walk out and asked softly, "What's wrong with my cousin?" Why are you in such a hurry? Did I scare you? ”

Wu Yuan saw that it was Zhou Biao, so he secretly took a deep breath and said, "It turned out to be Cousin Zhou, I was in a hurry to go back to Zhuxuan and didn't see Cousin Zhou, please forgive Cousin Zhou." ”

Zhou Biao said with a smile: "This section of the road is very remote, and there is no candle flame, so I just happen to be fine, why don't I send my cousin back." ”

Wu Yuan hurriedly said: "No need, I can go back by myself, don't bother Cousin Zhou." ”

"It's just a gesture, it's not a lot of work, please." Zhou Biao insisted on sending it.

Seeing this, Wu Yuan could only let Zhou Biao send him.

"Cousin, do you want to live your life?"

The two were walking on the path, and Zhou Biao suddenly asked.

Wu Yuan was stunned when he heard this, in the future?

Wu Yuan shook his head and said softly: "Naturally, they all listen to the arrangement of the elders. ”

Zhou Biao chuckled and said, "It's me who is abrupt, hasn't my cousin thought about what life will happen in the future?" ”

"I haven't thought about it," Wu Yuan asked blankly, "Cousin, have you thought about what life you will live in the future?" ”

When Zhou Biao heard this, he glanced at Wu Yuan and said, "Naturally, I am willing to be a one-hearted person, and the white head is inseparable." ”

Wu Yuan's face turned red, and he said with a smile: "It seems that my cousin-in-law in the future is a blessed person, but I don't know whose girl is so blessed to marry my cousin!" ”

Zhou Biao also smiled when he heard this, looked at Wu Yuan and said, "I'm just a humble scholar, I don't want to have a lot of money, I just want to be able to spend the rest of my life with my beloved." ”

"Cousin Zhou doesn't have to be humble, even the second uncle said that his cousin is very knowledgeable, and he will definitely be based on the glory of the court in the future." Wu Yuan said with a chuckle.

"I borrowed my cousin's good words!"

While speaking, he had already arrived at the door of Zhuxuan, Zhou Biao frowned and looked at the broken gate of Zhuxuan, and said, "If my cousin doesn't mind, I'll help my cousin repair it tomorrow, if the gate of this courtyard collapses, it won't hurt people." ”

Wu Yuan hurriedly said: "No need, no need, I will tell the second uncle, these will be cleaned up, and there will be no delay in my cousin's time." I've already arrived at Zhuxuan, and it's a bit messy here, so I won't invite my cousin in for tea, cousin, please go back, thank you cousin for sending me back. ”

Zhou Biao raised his eyes and saw that Wu Yuan was a little flustered, so he didn't say much, and returned from the path with a smile.

Wu Yuan breathed a sigh of relief and entered Zhuxuan.

"Miss, did the young master of the Zhou family send you back?" Yuzhu came up and asked.

Wu Yuan let out a faint "um", took the tea cup handed by Yuzhu, and took a sip.

"Young Master Zhou is really kind, he only sent a bunch of things in the afternoon! Look, Miss! ”

Wu Yuan looked at the charcoal fires, candles, cloths and the like piled aside, and couldn't help sighing, it turned out that Cousin Zhou had already come in the afternoon, and he didn't invite anyone into the house to have a cup of tea before leaving, which made him a little childish.

After Wu Yuan instructed Ding Xiang to pack up his things, he still called Chun Tao and the three of them to have dinner together.

"Miss, the young master is really a good person this week, although he is the second grandmother's maiden nephew, he is not at all like the second grandmother, and he has sent us so many things!" Yuzhu chirped.

Wu Yuan coughed lightly, "Eat and sleep, don't say anything." Finish dinner and rest early! ”

Yuzhu smacked his tongue and buried his head in silence.

Chun Tao smiled, and after dinner, she went to make the bed for the young lady.

"Miss, the young master of the Zhou family is really good, he is young and promising, he will definitely enter the court as an official in the future, anyway, the old lady is showing the young lady her family, in my opinion, the young lady can consider considering Young Master Zhou." Chun Tao whispered while making the bed.

"Forget it, don't you see that my little sister likes him very much? Besides, I'm such an unfavored young lady with the name of a bad star, how dare people marry? Don't say that again. Wu Yuan said lightly.

Chun Tao saw that Miss was not in a high mood, so she quietly withdrew.
