"Thank you, Miss, for taking me in." Bai Shao kowtowed again.

Meng Zhiyi said, "In the future, I will be called Mrs. Shizi."

"Yes, Lady Shiko."

Meng Zhiyi: "You let the winter solstice lead it down first!" It's too late now, so you're going to stay in the same room with the winter solstice for the time being."

"Yes, thank you, Lady Shiko."

Meng Zhiyi beckoned to the winter solstice standing outside and asked her to take Bai Shao down.

Meng Zhiyi went outside again and whispered to Xuan Yi, "Keep an eye on this woman. She won't be at peace."

"Yes."

Xuanyi didn't ask much, because he found that this lady of the prince did not look like a vase on the surface.

Day 2.

Xuanyi found the painter.

Meng Zhiyi showed him the painting, and then changed the cloak and the fisherman.

The artist's skills are very superb, and if Meng Zhiyi doesn't look carefully after painting, he won't find that this is a fake.

However, she was still very careful, holding the painting and checking it again.

After letting Xuanyi see it, let Dong Solstice also see a picture of this painting.

Dong Zhi felt that Meng Zhiyi's move was strange, but since the prince's guards were also worried about this matter, there must be something big about it, so she didn't dare to say more.

"Since it's all right, Winter Solstice, you can hang this painting back."

"Yes." The winter solstice rolled up the painting, hugged it in his arms and took it out.

Meng Zhiyi said to Xuan again: "Bring that person and boy quietly, and you will interrogate yourself."

Xuanyi: "I'm afraid the man is no longer there."

"No, it won't." Meng Zhiyi was determined, "Some people are afraid of attracting our attention, and if they die again, they will definitely attract our attention."

"Yes."

Xuanyi also left quickly.

Meng Zhiyi went to hug Xiao Aci to play in the yard, the weather has been good these days, and as soon as the little guy arrives in the garden, he reaches out and wants to grab something in his hand.

Meng Zhiyi stuffed a gadget for her, and he was about to stuff it into his mouth.

Xingniang said, "The little master is teething, maybe his teeth are a little itchy. The branches of the pepper tree can be used to bite the child, which is good for the teeth."

"Peppercorns?" Meng Zhiyi knew it for the first time.

However, peppercorns are not easy to get, and they can only be used in the palace to cook on weekdays.

"Go back and tell my father to get one and plant it in the garden." Meng Zhiyi commanded.

"Yes."

Xingniang said, "Then Mrs. Shizi, I'll go over and let people go back and talk about it first."

"It's okay, I'll hold it. Ah Shengniang is also over there, you can go."

"Okay." The awakening lady ran fast.

"Little Aci, is it cold?" Meng Zhiyi touched the little guy's hand.

At this time, Bai Shao walked over. She had already changed into a winter solstice dress.

"Mrs. Shizi, is this the little master? No wonder you were able to get the decree to stay in the Garden of Satisfaction, so that all these noble ladies in Kyoto would envy you."

Meng Zhiyi smiled lightly, silently avoided Bai Shao's hand that wanted to touch Xiao Aci, and glanced at Ah Shengniang over there.

Ah Shengniang is also a clever person, and immediately came over.

"It's time for the young master to drink water."

"Okay."

Ah Shengniang took Xiao Ah Ci away.

Meng Zhiyi looked at Bai Shao, "Do you think those people envy me or do they envy me?"

"Then I guess there is more jealousy than envy."

Bai Shao said again: "But now that Mrs. Shizi has a son by her side, she doesn't have to worry about her position."

Meng Zhiyi smiled and didn't speak.

Seeing that Meng Zhiyi didn't answer, Bai Shao could only take the initiative to speak, "My sister-in-law is about to give birth, and my Bai family can be regarded as having a queen. It's a pity, I don't know if my brother will be able to see his child with his own eyes."

Meng Zhiyi directly exposed her, "You guys are like this

will they still have a family?"

Bai Shao pursed her lips, and understood that Meng Zhiyi didn't trust her, so she could only say again, "We also have a family, but we have to do it...... Madame Shizi, if you can save my brother, I am willing to sacrifice my life to help."

"What can you do for me?" Meng Zhiyi was waiting for this sentence.

Bai Shao knew that if he was not sincere, Meng Zhiyi would not do anything, "I know a secret of the Zhou family. This secret is enough to destroy the Zhou family."

"Really?" Meng Zhiyi was skeptical, "In the previous rebellion in Jiangnan City, the Zhou family colluded with the Xu family, but in the end, they were able to retreat with their whole body. Do you think you can pull the people behind them?" z.br>

Bai Shao said very confidently, "I can't pull it, but someone can, and that person is very willing to hold a knife."

Meng Zhiyi raised her eyebrows, although there was surprise in her eyes, there were also suspicions, but it was enough to make Bai Shao believe that she was already tempted.

"What is it?"

White Peony: "It's a secret letter. But the letter is not mine now, and I will contact the person as soon as possible and bring it to Mrs. Shizi."

This is her own hand, afraid that Meng Zhiyi will unload the mill and kill the donkey.

Meng Zhiyi promised her, "Okay, I'll let people inquire first."

At night.

Escort Zhang returned.

Something must be wrong at such a late hour.

Meng Zhiyi put on his cloak and came to the steps of the door.

Zhang Huwei said, "Mrs. Shizi, Gongzi Cai met the shopkeeper of an inn in the east of the city of the Meng family tonight."

"Chengdong Inn, it's under my second uncle's name now, right?"

"Yes." Zhang Huwei replied, "Do you need to arrest this shopkeeper and ask about it?"

These shopkeepers in Kyoto are all people her father trusts, but in the face of such power, she is afraid that she can't keep it.

"Keep an eye on it, don't act rashly." Meng Zhiyi thought for a moment and said, "In addition, you go and ask Zheng Huwei if I want him to do something, have you finished it?"

"Yes."

"It's too late, go back and rest." Meng Zhiyi said casually, turned around and went into the house.

Escort Zhang clenched his fists at Meng Zhiyi's back, and after answering, he glanced at the people standing in the courtyard, turned around and walked out.

He didn't go back to his residence, he glanced at Lu Nanfeng's secret guards who lived over there, and received their hostile and mocking eyes, Zhang Huwei thought about it, turned around and went out of Chengyi Garden.

It's not him on duty tonight, and he can't sleep so early, so it's better to go to the boss first.

As soon as he got out of the gate, a porter stared at him, then closed the door and ran out in one direction through the small door on the side.

Following.

Meng Zhiyi was in a bad mood when he got up early in the morning, and before he got dressed, he called the winter solstice to come in.

"Did the prince write back?"

Last night, she dreamed of Lu Nanfeng and found that he had been looking at her, and she was in a room, she couldn't see herself, but she could feel that she was very excited.

Lu Nanfeng was extraordinarily bland, looked at her calmly, and whispered something.

When she woke up in the morning, Meng Zhiyi forgot about it, but she remembered herself in her dream at that time, and she was very excited.

Immediately afterwards, there was another picture, which was Lu Nanfeng's loud voice, shouting out to himself full of sadness, but there was really no picture.

The dream was a little messy, which made Meng Zhiyi feel very irritable when he woke up.

"No." Dong Solstice looked a little nervous.

"What's wrong?"

Dong Solstice hesitated, "Big lady, there are bad rumors outside."

She went to the kitchen in the morning and heard everyone talking about their own girls.

"What's the message?" Meng Zhiyi's face sank.

"You mean....... said that the little master was not biological, and said that the eldest lady took advantage of the absence of the son of the world to meet a foreign man at night. In short, it's all pickled words."

Dong Solstice tightened his brows, and when he heard these words, he quarreled with those people and made a lot of prestige. But she knew that she could control the mouths of those who lived in the garden, but she could not control the mouths of those outside.

Meng Zhiyi frowned, "What kind of night meeting outside the man? Could it be that Zhang Guard?"

Dong Solstice was still very angry, "It should be, when you were in Jiangnan City, you raised a lot of young and strong guards, treated them very well, and often went in and out of your boudoir. The mouths of those men were as if they had seen them, and they stinked like they had eaten pickled mice."

"If it can be spread to the garden, it must have spread all over the outside, and Guard Zhang only came to tell me last night, it seems that our garden still has elbows to turn outside."

Dong Solstice also reacted, "That big lady, I'll go check them one by one, and I'll definitely be able to find out this bad conscience."

"No, I don't have to. And the back hand."

To be able to tell the matter of Jiangnan City, it must be the involvement of the Zhou family. What the Zhou family wants to do is definitely not as simple as ruining her reputation.

Now she and Lu Nanfeng are one, and their goal is still Lu Nanfeng.

"You can't let those people say that! Even if it's fake, how will the girl gain a foothold in the future?" The winter solstice was in a hurry, and I forgot to call it again.

"Don't worry." Meng Zhiyi was quite calm, "You are like this, you go to find someone and then talk about it, just say that Zhou Yongheng and I were childhood sweethearts at that time, and the relationship was extraordinary. Needless to say, let those people do their own thing."

"But, big lady, then your reputation ........"

"Those who are clear will clean themselves, I will clean up the people behind the scenes, you stabilize first." Meng Zhiyi comforted.

Dong Solstice pursed his mouth and replied muffledly.

Guardhouse.

Zhang Yin was woken up by a basin of cold water, and when he opened his eyes, he found that there were two black-clothed secret guards standing in front of the kang.

"What's the matter?" His voice was deep, he drank a little too much last night, and he slept a little more today.

One of the guards scoffed, "What? You can sleep."

Another also said, "You can think clearly about how you will explain to your master when the time comes, and you should think clearly about how you are going to die."

"What?" Zhang Yin was still at a loss.

The two secret guards didn't say much to him, and directly tied Zhang Yin up on the rope.

Zhang Yin was not convinced, "What do you want to do?"

He struggled, and the three of them couldn't help but fight. But Zhang Yin's kung fu was not the opponent of these two people at all, and he was tied up with a rope in no less than five moves.

"Put it in the dungeon first, and wait for the master to come back and give orders."

Two men carried the seal and threw the man into the dungeon.

Meng Zhiyi was still waiting for news from Zheng Huwei's side, and seeing that Zhang Huwei didn't come to tell him, he didn't care.

The winter solstice came to announce, "Lady, the eldest lady of the Zhou family has sent a prayer post."
