Xie Yunyan took the teacup handed by Mrs. Ning, gently blew the floating leaves on the water, and took a sip.

The tea leaves are obviously inferior old tea, and the taste is as bitter as the unsatisfactory situation of the Ning family.

Putting down the teacup, Xie Yunyan smiled and asked instead of answering, "Have you ever thought about why Your Majesty saved your adult's life for such a major event as stealing account books?" ”

Even if the crime of punishing the nine clans is exempted, the matter of stealing the account books of the Ministry of Officials can be big or small, and it is not an exaggeration for Lord Ning to say that it is the Autumn Queen.

Ning Zhao always listened quietly, and when he heard Xie Yunshen say, he raised his head and looked at him suspiciously.

Ning Zhengjie stared for a moment, and suddenly looked at Xie Yunyan excitedly, "Lord Xie is ...... say?"

Xie Yunyan curled his lips and smiled, "Yes, this official came to Lishui City this time on the orders of His Majesty, and secretly investigated the matter of the year in the name of inspecting Lishui City. Your Majesty, I still believe in Lord Ning's personality. ”

It is the butler of the servant of the Ministry who refers to Ning Zhengjie.

said that Liu Shilang had not returned home for a long time, and his wife was worried, so he sent him to look for someone.

Lord Liu, the servant of the ministry, is greedy for appetite, which is known to the civil and military officials and even the emperor.

He temporarily went out to eat and drink, Mrs. Liu should have been accustomed to it for a long time, and would deliberately look for someone?

The emperor suspected that there must be something strange in it, but Ning Zhengjie only admitted that he collided with someone back then, and he didn't see who the person was, and he refused to admit the change of account books.

In desperation, the emperor had no choice but to pretend to be angry, accepted Ning Zhengjie's black gauze hat, demoted him to a concubine, and sent him to Lishui City.

"So, please tell me truthfully."

Ning Zhao didn't know the ins and outs of the matter, but remembered that overnight, the Ning family suffered a catastrophe.

His former classmates avoided him, and his father's officialdom colleagues closed their doors, for fear of "bumping" into Ning Zhengjie, who had provoked the wrath of the saint on the road.

The house leak happened to rain overnight, and even his father's only concubine escaped with his half-sister overnight.

The entanglement of the whole family moving up and down is still helped by my grandmother.

However, with Ning Zhao's understanding of his father, he is an upright person and lacks many workarounds in his official career, but he will never be a traitor.

Looking at Ning Zhengjie's frowning old face, Ning Zhao encouraged: "Father, I'll just do it, marrying like a wife is the greatest blessing in this life." But I beg my father to think about Shu'er, she is still in good time, and there are still good days waiting for her, and she must not live a life in the name of the descendants of the sinner! ”

The sky gradually brightened, and the beam of rising sun broke through the broken window paper, and the room was a little brighter because of this beam, which finally opened a gap in Ning Zhengjie's hesitant heart.

"Before the old man told the truth, the old man implored Lord Xie to tell him frankly, which one does Lord Xie support now?"

Daqi is in full swing, even though the traitors still exist, but the emperor knows how to make good use of people, humbly accepts advice, and the situation is as stable as Mount Tai.

However, the dragon has reverse scales, and his next words are likely to violate the biggest taboo of the royal family.

Xie Yunyan's sudden visit shows that the emperor has the intention to investigate the hidden situation of the year, he can say it, but it is also under the condition of ensuring the safety of the whole family.

Xie Yunyan suddenly got up, and waved his hands to the east, "The Xie family can inherit the hairpin family for a hundred years, relying on the matter of being loyal to the monarch, and there is only one Xie family loyal from beginning to end." ”

Successive emperors only.

Ning Zhengjie's last guard broke the defense, and he said ashamedly: "It's the heart of the old man and the villain." That person was not the housekeeper of the Liu family, but the father-in-law who had been following the four princes all the year round......"

……

Ning Shu listlessly sorted out the herbs for Ning Zhao, glanced past the closed door from time to time, and changed postures from time to time to continue to sort out.

The Vientiane Gu in her body was as quiet as ever, and she couldn't help but suspect that yesterday's passionate performance might have nothing to do with Xie Yunyan.

The corner of his eye crossed the wooden box on the ground, and Ning Shu's delicate facial features gradually distorted.

The pale complexion burned to a cloud-like crimson again.

Blatantly sent back her obscene pants, what did he mean?

Turning his head abruptly to look at the door, didn't he get out of the Ning family completely?

Putting down the herbs casually, Ning Shu grabbed the wooden box and hurried to the door.

Just as she walked to the door, the door suddenly opened.

The person who opened the door was stunned at first, and after looking at Ning Shu's panicked gaze, he smiled lightly: "Miss Ning." ”

Ning's father and mother were a little surprised by Ning Shu's actions, "Shu'er? ”

Her daughter speaks little on weekdays and rarely participates in conversations between elders.

It started two years ago, and even more so.

Standing in front of the door and eavesdropping? Still staring at Lord Xie's face?

Mrs. Ning, who was also a woman, looked at Xie Yunyan's heroic and upright back in front of her, her eyelids moved, and she didn't say anything more.

Ning Shu saw that everyone's expressions were normal, and there were no ups and downs, and said with a light smile: "Mother, I'm a little hungry, I want to come and ask when I will have breakfast?" ”

"Oh, look at me." Mrs. Ning bypassed Xie Yunyan and walked out of the room.

The Ning family has been scattered, and now there is only one cook in the entire courtyard.

In the past, her daughter-in-law Feng would occasionally help out, but since she became pregnant, Mrs. Ning has taken her place.

"Then the official will not stay, if there is news, the official will visit again." Xie Yunyan respectfully said goodbye to Ning Zhengjie.

Ning Zhengjie lifted his bent body with both hands, "Lord Xie is serious, and the old man is waiting for good news." ”

"Daddy, it's cold in the morning, you can rest again. Big brother, if the herb is not dried again, I'm afraid it will be too late. Mr. Xie...... I'll deliver it. ”

Listening to Ning Shu's words, Xie Yunyan raised his eyebrows slightly, didn't say agree but didn't refuse, and walked out of the door with elegant movements.

Out of the courtyard gate, Ning Shu slowly spoke, "Master Xie, take a step to speak." ”

Xie Yunyan said: "There are no outsiders here, what does the girl want to say?" ”

Ning Shu looked at Yuan Wu, who was about to drive, and hung her head silently.

"You go to the front and wait for me." Xie Yunyan saw her thoughts, and said to Yuan Wudao.

Yuan Wu tugged at the corners of his mouth, plucked out his erected ears, and unwillingly pulled the carriage away.

"Give this back to your lords." Handing the wooden box in his hand to Xie Yunyan, Ning Shu muttered in a voice that could almost only be heard by herself: "I also hope that the adults will forget about last night and don't tell others." ”

Xie Yunyan took the wooden box with a smile and played with it casually, "Miss Ning means, don't let this official influence the girl to find a good home in the future?" ”

Ning Shu lowered her eyes and bowed, "Sort of." ”

Her eyelashes were thick and curled, like two butterfly wings perched on her eyelids, obscuring her eyes.

But Xie Yunyan didn't see fear or shame in him at all, but was full of apologies and disgust!

"Okay, then the girl will write me an IOU of 1,000 taels of gold!"

Xie Yunyan always thought that Ning Shu was retreating, but this did not seem to be the case.

The preset rhetoric in the belly didn't come in handy at all!
