"The rest can be handed over to Dali Temple."
As soon as these words came out, Yao Bin couldn't hold back the curiosity in his heart, and opened his mouth to try: "Li Shilang, did you offend Lord Zhou?"
Zhou Shuan chuckled, "It's not to be offended, but... it's really a bit of a holiday."
Yao Bin nodded on the face, but in his heart, he didn't believe it.
A powerful official who has not yet married, and a wife who looks like a fairy, this is by no means as simple as "a little bit of a festival".
The officialdom in the capital is like a battlefield without guns and weapons. Yao Bin has seen unprovoked frame-ups and oppression, but he has never seen "help" people and leave
But there is a saying that the enemy of the enemy is a friend. Yao Bin doesn't care what Zhou Shu'an is thinking, as long as he can bring down Li Di and put the Xu family in the Ministry of Industry. If it becomes a waste of chess, it is a good thing for the East Palace.
Thirty years after drinking, Yao Bin's cheeks were flushed, and he said with the strength of the wine: "Why doesn't Master Zhou come to work under the Prince's house?"
Zhou Shuan's expression did not change, but his voice was a little lower: "The water overflows, isn't my friendship with Master Yao enough?"
Yao Bin had a meal and couldn't help laughing.
Before the morning light cleared the clouds, Zhou Shuan walked out of the Yao residence through the side door, bent down and got on the carriage.
The man raised his hand and pinched his Adam's apple, and whispered to Chu: "Tell her to see me tomorrow."
—
The morning light was faint, and Shen Yan changed Li Di's clothes. Li Di looked down at the small face of Zhuo Ruofu, and said seriously, "Hey, I really want to go back to four years ago."
Shen Yan looked up at him, her eyes were just right.
"We can't go back to four years ago. Master Li should look back."
Li Di gave a "hmm", and then smiled again.
After Li Di left, Shen Yan breathed a sigh of relief, fell on the round stool, pressed her index finger against her temple, and slowly rubbed it up. Li Di slept by her side last night, and she stayed up all night.
At this moment, Qingli opened the bamboo curtain and walked in, whispering, "The books that the girl ordered have arrived."
Shen Yan raised her eyes, "So fast?"
Qingli nodded.
Shen Yan took a deep breath and said, "Quick, have someone prepare a horse, and go now."
Qingli looked at Shen Yan's pale and bloodless face, and said in a low voice, "The girl's face looks really tired, do you need a servant to help you cover it with powder."
Shen Hao raised her hand and pressed the bottom of her eyes, "Is it ugly?"
Qingli shook her head quickly, "How could the girl be ugly?"
Shen Hao looked back at the bronze mirror, hooked the corner of her mouth and said, "You don't need to cover it up, I think it's just right."
The driver tightened the reins, the carriage slowly stopped by the side of the road, and Shen Hao came to this bookstore in Dongshi again.
She put on her skirt and stepped into the door. As soon as she looked up, before she could speak, the shopkeeper bowed and said, "The book ordered by Madam has arrived, you can pick it up on the second floor."
Shen Yan nodded, "Thank you, shopkeeper."
Shen Jiao went up to the second floor alone, kept walking to the left, then stopped, raised her hand, and knocked on the door.
"Come in." It was the man's voice.
Shen Yan stepped into the door and turned back to close the door.
Zhou Shuan stood beside the rhinoceros screen in the southeast corner, the weak sunlight shone on him through the window, and his tall figure resembled a towering green mountain.
"Lord Zhou." She walked over to him and said softly.
Zhou Shuan turned sideways and looked down at her.
I saw that she was unusual today, her brows seemed to be frowning rather than frowning, her eyes seemed to be happy rather than happy, her eyes were reddish, and she was panting.
This weak willow's posture of supporting the wind can't help but make people feel love and pity.
"Is this sick?" Zhou Shuan asked her.
"It's because of the wind." Shen Yan looked at him and said.
The autumn wind blew across her face, and Shen Yan's collar quivered with the wind.
Zhou Shuan saw a strand of blue silk falling on the corner of his forehead, his brows followed with a frown, he couldn't help raising his hand and put it behind her ear for her, "Have you taken medicine?"
Shen Yan bit her lower lip and said softly, "I've eaten it."
Zhou Shuan raised his hand and closed the window tightly, his palm against her back, and brought her to the edge of the table.
"Tomorrow, you will send this letter to the Ministry of Punishment." Zhou Shuan sat down and said.
Shen Yan slowly opened it, it was a letter of harmony.
"I found someone from Li Di's hometown to come to the capital, and he can testify for you about the in-laws of the Li family and the He family." Zhou Shuan said.
"How did your lord find it?"
Looking for someone to testify, it's not that Shen Hao never asked anyone to ask, but those people were afraid when they saw Li Di's performance, and they were not related to her, so they couldn't buy it with money.
Shen Jiao was afraid of disturbing Li Di and causing trouble again, so she could only give up.
Zhou Shuan saw the hesitation in her eyes and smiled: "Can't you trust me?"
Shen Yan looked at him, "How could it be? I'm just afraid of them and will bite back."
"No." Zhou Shuan stood upright, patted her on the shoulder for comfort, and then took out another piece of paper and said, "When Yao Bin has personally sentenced the reconciliation, you can use this piece of paper. The evidence is here."
The man pointed the case with his index finger.
Although Zhou Shuan didn't say it clearly, but in such a familiar tone, it was like telling Shen Yan that Yao Bin, the minister of punishment, had an affair with him.
No one in the whole capital knew that Zhou Shuan was the confidant of the emperor, a noble and selfless official, and all the money sent to Dali Temple would be thrown back at no cost, like an iron plate weighing thousands of pounds, no one could kick it.
But now, when Shen Yan heard him mention Yao Bin, and looked at the two sheets of paper and the pile of evidence in front of her, a strange feeling suddenly filled her heart.
She likes transactions that come and go, and she can't comfortably accept his favor.
She desperately hopes that Zhou Shuan can get something back from her. Anything is fine.
Shen Yan suppressed the tumbling thoughts in her heart and picked up the account book on the table. These are all direct evidences of Li Di's corruption and bribery, but judging from these evidences, what Li Di did clearly had nothing to do with the sixth prince and the Xu family.
"The power of the Xu family is deeply ingrained and cannot be moved right now. If you move, they will definitely protect Li Di." Zhou Shuan said.
Zhou Shuan's changes to these account books are undoubtedly forcing the Xu family to give up Li Di. If there is no Xu family behind Li Di, he will be like a playboy who has been kicked out of the family by the surname, and there is no way to fight back.
Shen Yan whispered: "I understand."
After that, Shen Yan's body shook slightly, Zhou Shuan immediately caught her, and Shen Yan fell into his arms.
"I'll help you down." Zhou Shuan could see that this was not a hug, and her tiredness today was not faked.
Shen Hao held his hand and whispered, "Don't move."
Zhou Shuan stayed still.
"Last night." Shen Zhu wrapped his arms around his neck, pulled down, and met his eyes, "I haven't slept all night."
Zhou Shuan's Adam's apple continued to slide, and he said in a hoarse voice, "Why?"
Shen Jiao didn't answer, but she leaned against his generous Yuexiong's chest, "I want to sleep for a while, okay?"
Zhou Shuan's heart fell suddenly, he never imagined that she would lean on him like this and close her eyes.
The man froze his arms, watching the sun jump from window to window.
He stared at her eyelashes, and after an unknown amount of time, he patted her waist, "Shen Shi, it's time for Shen Shi."
Shen Hao slowly opened her eyes, looked at each other, a blush appeared on her face, and quickly got up: "It's my rudeness, and I hope Master Zhou doesn't blame him."
Zhou Shuan said calmly, "It's okay."
The door was closed, Shen Yan's back disappeared in front of him, Zhou Shuan pressed his arm, and took a deep breath in collapse.
He was really about to be overwhelmed by her behavior.
—
On the other side, Shen Ji stepped on the carriage.
Qingli whispered, "Girl, have you got the book?"
Shen Yan nodded, "Yeah."
Qingli said again: "Today... how could it take so long?"
"There are other things that have been delayed." Shen Yan tilted her head and raised the curtain, her eyes fixed on the window on the second floor of the bookstore, and she couldn't help clenching her fists secretly.
You can't wake up, you can't fall asleep, how can you do it
Shen Hao rushed back to Li's house before Li Di was on duty, and hurriedly entered the inner courtyard.
I saw Li Di's mother, Shen Yan's mother-in-law, Wen Shi, with her arms folded on her chest, standing at the door, and she said sneeringly, "Whose eldest lady runs outside all day?"
Shen Hao said: "The wife of the fourth-rank officer, which one is not busy? I also want to take some time to relax. Why don't I return all the middle feed to the He family sister, and she will send it to her in the future? "
The corner of Wen Shi's mouth twitched, and he said coldly, "Our Li family married you, it's really unfortunate for the family."
As soon as Wen Shi's voice fell, Shen Yan suddenly felt that it was as if God was helping her. She was worried that she couldn't find a reason to leave, but she was all right now.
"Qingli."
Qingli bowed her body and said, "The servant is here."
"Pack up and go back to the Shen residence." Shen Yan took a deep breath and said word by word, "My family is unfortunate. I cannot afford such a big crime."
When Wen Shi heard this, he took a step forward and stood in front of Shen Yan, and said directly: "Did Di'er give you the dowry?"
Shen Yan gave her a very respectful look, "So, you also know that it is my dowry."
The Wen family took Shen Yao's dowry to give money to the He family and supplemented the family. Shen Yao knew all these things. If you really want to talk about it, Wen Shi can't discuss it well.
Qingli ran in and only took out a scabbard word. Shen Hao could not want anything outside of this house.
"Girl, pack up."
Seeing that she was going to leave, Mrs Wen hurriedly said to the maid next to her, "Standing around stupidly! Stop her for me!"
"Shen Yan, you changed your face fast enough. Your father just returned to the court. If outsiders know what to think about this matter? You go out and ask, did you talk to your mother-in-law like this?" Wen Shi said.
Shen Jiao laughed at herself.
mother-in-law
Has she ever really regarded herself as the daughter-in-law of the Li family? Have you really missed her
Shen Yan whispered: "If you don't let me go today, I will go to Jingzhao Mansion tomorrow to report to the official."
Even though Mrs Wen was a housewife, she knew where the Jingzhao Mansion was, and even more about the relationship between Jingzhao Yin and the Shen family.
Wen Shi raised his finger and said several words "you" intermittently.
Shen Yan said to Li Di's close-fitting maid: "Lang Jun asks, and tell the truth."
After she finished speaking, Shen Hao walked out of the door of Li Mansion without looking back.
