Chapter 107: Rumors

After this embezzlement incident, the emperor stopped the prince's errand, and Suo Etu was also detained in the palace.

There are not a few officials who sell their properties in the capital, and even more so, they even sell their houses and granges on the streets, which not only humiliates the imperial court, but also the people in the capital can't help but scold when they see it.

When this matter reached the ears of the emperor, he directly dismissed the officials who sold their properties on the street and exiled Ningguta.

As a result, Suo Etu's power was partially weakened, and Nalan Mingzhu's power was in the limelight for a while, but the Eighth Elder Brother, who was still in the Big Brother faction for the time being, was not affected by this incident.

On the contrary, since he learned in the Fifth Brother's Mansion that Yuqing may be the daughter of the Governor of Huguang, he has become more and more diligent in going to the Fifth Brother's Mansion, and every time he sees Yinqi, he will take an excuse to go to Wanyue's house.

This incident made Yinqi quite puzzled, he only knew that the ninth brother was better with the eighth brother, and Yue'er had business dealings with the ninth brother, so he was closer than the other brothers, but he didn't know when the eighth brother would also get better with Yue'er.

In the Xinuan Pavilion of Wubeile Mansion, Wanyue has been getting up early these days, and the eighth brother has been diligent these days, and she, the fifth sister-in-law, has to be received.

Not long after Wanyue finished breakfast, she instructed Yudan to go to the West Side Hall to invite Liu Jia Miaoyin to meet in Xinuan Pavilion today, and the number of times the eighth brother came was not less, Wanyue guessed that most of the eighth brother fell in love with Yuqing, and it was not good to go to Liu Jia Miaoyin's house, so he would come to her house every three or five times.

She had no choice but to be a peacemaker, and took the initiative to invite Liu Jia Miaoyin to Xinuan Pavilion, maybe the one in the West Side Hall would bring Yuqing with her.

In the west side hall, Liu Jia Miaoyin heard Mama Zhang say that when Fujin on the side of Xinuan Pavilion sent someone to invite her to reminisce about the past, she guessed that Wanyue was like this because she loved Hongsheng.

She looked proud, and took Hongsheng and Junhua to Xinuan Pavilion together, as well as Mama Zhang and Yuqing.

Wanyue saw that Liu Jia Miaoyin had brought Hongsheng and Junhua with her, so she hurriedly instructed Mama Li to prepare a soft snack, and asked Yudan to prepare tea.

Liu Jia Miaoyin was very satisfied with Wanyue's arrangement, and looked at Wanyue with a smile on her face, undisguised, "Come to my sister, but I'm going to bother you again." ”

"How could it be, I wish my sister would come over for a walk." Wanyue's words were a little polite, and she smiled slightly at Liu Jia Miaoyin.

As soon as Xiao Hongsheng came to Wanyue's room, he ran to Wanyue's seat a little shyly, Liu Jia Miaoyin saw it in his eyes, but he seemed to be very generous, and a smile tugged at the corner of his mouth, "Hongsheng, this child seems to be very close to his sister, and every time he sees his sister, he forgets about me." ”

Wanyue understood what Liu Jia Miaoyin meant, but she just thought that most children would be closer to each other when they looked at who was more cordial or familiar, so she didn't answer Liu Jia Miaoyin, and just smiled on her face.

The two chatted for a while, and Mama Wang walked into the house, bowed down and stood aside and said, "Little master, Babel is here." ”

After Wanyue heard this, she immediately stood up, but Liu Jia Miaoyin on the side showed a look of surprise, she had already heard that Wanyue was close to the eighth and ninth brothers, but she didn't expect that as soon as she came to Xinuan Pavilion today, she met the eighth brother coming to the door.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but look at the door, Yuqing next to Liu Jia Miaoyin heard Mama Wang's report, and she was suddenly a little surprised in her heart, but she still lowered her head and didn't dare to be too obvious.

After Babel came in, Yuqing's face was stunned, but she just glanced at Babel, she was just a maid now, and her identity as a prince like Babel was not worthy.

At this moment, Lord Babel inadvertently caught a glimpse of Yuqing standing aside, but his face was silent, and he inadvertently glanced at the two side Fujin of the fifth brother.

After the three of them greeted each other, they sat down one after another.

Wanyue seemed to know what Babeile was thinking again, and asked him with a smile: "Eighth brother doesn't seem to have much business these days, but he has a lot of free days, and your fifth brother is the same as you." ”

Babel was shocked when he heard the first half of Wanyue's words, and it wasn't until Wanyue finished saying that he was relieved, he thought that the fifth sister-in-law was disgusted that he came too often.

Liu Jia Miaoyin on the side saw that Babeile's face seemed a little unnatural, so she smiled hurriedly and echoed: "Sister, why are you ridiculing the eighth brother, we women are not easy to ask about the affairs of the court, and it is their business to be busy with these masters." ”

Wanyue heard this, a pair of dark eyes looked at Liu Jia Miaoyin, she felt that Liu Jia Miaoyin's words had some meaning of raising the bar, but because the eighth brother was still here, it was not good to have a seizure, so she just smiled back at her, her purpose today was to see the eighth brother's reaction to Yuqing.

"Sister said this. It is also reasonable to say that the government and politics are not something that we women can control. ”

Babeile originally went to the mansion to ask Wanyue's fifth sister-in-law for advice, but there were many people at this time, and he couldn't ask at the exit, so he only watched the two sisters-in-law chatting on the sidelines, and he was also secretly thinking in his heart that a missing official lady had become a maid in Baylor Mansion, and he had to find a suitable time to bring this matter out, so that he could suck Nian Yaoling, Nian Qianyao, Nian Xiyao and other talents into his command.

After thinking about the plan, the tea in his cup had already been drunk, and Mama Wang was very discerning, so she specially asked Yuqing to pour tea for Babeile.

Babeile raised his eyes to look at Yuqing, watched her pour tea and retreated to the side, he remembered the results of the guard in the mansion, the young daughter has been missing for more than three years, I hope this woman's appearance has not changed much from when she disappeared.

Wanyue saw Babeile looking at Yuqing thoughtfully, but she frowned slightly, this Yuqing's age is only thirteen this year, if she arrives in the eighth brother's mansion, I am afraid that the resolute Bafujin should blame Wanyue for giving Babel Sai's concubine.

Wanyue can't do such a thing, even in her previous life, she has never done such a thing as a concubine for Yinqi, let alone a maid for the emperor's brother in this life.

Before Liu Jia Miaoyin paid attention, Wanyue moved her gaze back, and Xiao Hongsheng had been eating the snacks on the rosewood table in Wanyue's arms.

The eighth elder brother saw that his little nephew Hongsheng was so attached to Wanyue's fifth sister-in-law, and then he was full of envy, if only the female relatives in his house could be as harmonious as the fifth brother's house.

Babeile left after staying for an hour, Hongsheng slept in Wanyue's arms after she was full, and her arm was already sore, Liu Jia Miaoyin saw this, and asked Yuqing to hug Hongsheng back, and did not stay too long.

After Liu Jia Miaoyin left, Wanyue wrote a letter and asked Mama Wang to send it to Babeiler's house in person.

A few days later, it was rumored that the list of corrupt officials came from the Sibeile Mansion, and it was also Sibeile who suggested to the prince that they should pay off the embezzlement money, and even the emperor had heard about it, and was disappointed that Sibeile had a list of corrupt officials but did not report it in time.

Newcomers and new books, ask for collections, ask for recommendations, ask for comments, all kinds of requests.
