Her eyes flashed with uncontrollable anger, and Hotarutsu's chest rose and fell violently, obviously angry.

But Xie Jingyuan didn't seem to notice it at all, smiled slightly, and said according to her meaning: "Actually, if you don't like this daughter-in-law, it's not like I won't consider other candidates, after all, it's ......."

Holding up the long tone, Xie Jingyuan looked at her fried hair and added.

"I have always been filial."

With what she had just said in the Taishi Mansion, she choked directly.

Hotaru Yue didn't think that she would lift a stone to hit her own feet, she was so angry that her lips trembled, but she couldn't refute it a word.

The tip of his nose was sour, and Hotaru lowered her head, afraid of revealing her vulnerable side in front of him, so she simply avoided it.

stood up, didn't even look at him, and went back to the room directly from Xie Jingyuan's side with angry steps.

As soon as she left, Xu Shuo, who was hiding in the shadows, immediately appeared and came to Xie Jingyuan's side.

After tasting the freshly brewed tea, Xie Jingyuan couldn't help but hook his lips and smile, seeing this, Xu Shuo was puzzled and asked, "Why does Master Hou deliberately want to be angry with Mrs.?" ”

"This woman has only blocked me recently, and I'm not without a woman's liking, but she's in a hurry to push it away than me." Xie Jingyuan snorted coldly.

Xu Shuo was a little speechless, and he didn't quite understand the meaning of the two of them, so he just said honestly: "But the subordinates remember that it was the Hou Ye who always pushed the lady away before, right?" ”

These words instantly made Xie Jingyuan shut up and remained silent.

Lowering his head, Xu Shuo didn't dare to say anything more, for fear of saying the wrong thing again.

After being silent, Xie Jingyuan simply changed the topic and asked Xu Shuo: "What is the result of the other wave of people sent today to inquire about the Nine Princes?" ”

The three suspicious objects that were screened out last time have all been checked today.

The Taishi Mansion was just as expected by Hotaru Yue, although the accounts were large, they were all expensive ingredients that were used for banquet purposes, so it was not obvious.

Xie Jingyuan raised his hand to support it, holding his forehead slightly, he wanted to close his eyes and rest for a while, but who knew that the figure of Yingyue popped up in his mind again, and he was disturbed by her.

"The Ninth Prince's side was difficult at first, and we didn't want to be searched at the door, and threatened to say that if this matter was found out and had nothing to do with him, I asked the Hou Ye if he wanted to go over and apologize in person. But the people in the hands of the Hou Ye are all well-trained, and finally agreed to search, and found that there are indeed some problems with the account books of the Nine Princes, there are a large number of accounts for the purchase of grain, but the palace of the Nine Princes is very clean and elegant, and there is no space suitable for accommodating people. Therefore, the subordinates think that the three caves of the cunning rabbit, and the Nine Princes are likely to secretly hide people in other places. Xu Shuo told the truth about the situation of the other team.

Xie Jingyuan slowly opened his eyes after listening, and Xu Shuo asked in a low voice, "Master Hou, do you need to continue to investigate?" ”

"No need, I have already checked his accounts, and they were sent to the frontier, I'm afraid that even the emperor knows this expenditure, so there is no need to ask too clearly." Xie Jingyuan said softly.

Xu Shuo thought he was worried about political involvement, but he heard him say softly: "Actually, I didn't doubt him at all." ”

But I'm afraid this beam is finished.

Speaking of this, Xu Shuo handed over a letter with some embarrassment and handed it to Xie Jingyuan.

"What is this?" Xie Jingyuan frowned and asked, thinking what kind of information it was, but he didn't have much doubt and opened it directly, who knew that he was stunned for a moment when he saw the first sentence.

"If you don't see each other for a day, you won't regret it when you widen your clothes, and you'll be haggard for Yi." After glancing at it, Xie Jingyuan couldn't help but snort coldly, and picked and chose to read out the fleshy love words here: "My fair lady, how are you a gentleman?" ”

Staring at Xu Shuo, the air was a little too quiet.

Speaking coldly, Xie Jingyuan said unceremoniously: "Xu Shuo, did you fall in the head?" ”

Thinking that Xu Shuo might like him, Xie Jingyuan trembled, and the whole person became uncomfortable, and quickly got up and stayed away.

He admits that he is indeed quite attractive, but not so attractive that even men ......

Xu Shuo, who wanted to cry without tears, looked at Xie Jingyuan's vigilant eyes, and hurriedly explained: "No, it wasn't written by a subordinate, it was brought back by the person who went to the Nine Princes' Mansion to search today, because the son of the Chiguo Mansion was also present today, and when he saw that it was someone from the Hou Mansion, he gave the letter directly to them and asked them to forward it on their behalf." ”

Hearing this, Xie Jingyuan breathed a sigh of relief and sat back to his original position silently.

didn't think about it, Xie Jingyuan suddenly exclaimed: "Chi Shuguang's brain is broken, write such a letter to this Hou Ye?"

Xu Shuo trembled and said: "Actually, this letter ...... It's for Madame. ”

"Who do you say it's for?" Turning back with compassion, Xie Jingyuan gritted his teeth and said.

Shrinking his neck, Xu Shuo only felt that the atmosphere around him cooled down all of a sudden, lowered his head, simply didn't answer, and pretended to be quail.

Taking a deep breath, Xie Jingyuan was about to have a seizure, Xu Shuo was ready to accept his storm, who knows, but someone suddenly came to the prince's mansion.

"Master Hou, the prince is urgently summoned."

Xie Jingyuan didn't have time to say anything to Xu Shuo, just threw the letter back into Xu Shuo's arms and glared at him.

Looking outside, it was already night.

"Master Hou, you haven't eaten yet." Xu Shuo had the courage to remind him.

But the prince was still waiting, how could Xie Jingyuan slowly finish his meal and then go over, he could only rush over without stopping.

Xu Shuo stood helplessly, looked at the letter in his hand and sighed helplessly: "Then should I send this letter or not?" ”

"Send it, Master Hou will definitely punish me. Don't send it...... Chi Gongzi's side...... I guess I'll have to send a few more letters another day, and when the time comes, if there is anything to do with my wife, it's not ......me who is unlucky."

Xu Shuo stood in place and muttered to himself.

***

Inside the Prince's Mansion.

As soon as he entered the door, the prince threw a fold directly at him and said angrily: "Lone knows about what you have committed in Chajing recently, but how can you find out about the Wang family?" People have been cooperating with the Ministry of War for a long time, and you can check it if you say it, so it is too bad to give the other party. ”

"The Wang family is rich and rivals the country, what should I do if I am disloyal to the court with a grudge?"

The prince was furious, Xie Jingyuan heard this, and silently endured it, and waited until he finished speaking before he spoke.

"I am an official, he is for the people, no matter how rich I am, it is an eternal truth that the people do not fight with officials, not to mention that I did not bully others, but I just handled it impartially and investigated the case normally." Word by word, loud and clear.

Xie Jingyuan straightened his waist and didn't feel that he was doing anything wrong.

It was precisely because of this attitude that the prince was even more angry.

"How dare you say that?"
