When Yongruo was sitting on the bench in Shou'an Hall, Feng Liao was drinking with Prince Ying Fengshi, and by the way, he was talking about clearing the Yong family.
Although the people of Hengjun Wangfu have seized many witnesses of the Wei family's many wrongdoings, but to let the Wei family fall and clear up the grievances of the Yong family, the last and most critical step is to let the censor impeach the Wei family. The son of an official.
Feng Liao intends to use Prince Ying's contacts to do this.
For one thing, he was only seventeen years old, and he had never set foot in the imperial court at all. The only officials of the imperial court who had intersected with him were those subordinate officials of the Hengjun Palace. Second, now is the time when the emperor's choice of heir is undercurrent. He doesn't want to set foot in the court at this time and arouse his second brother's fear, so he simply borrows his second brother's manpower to act.
Regarding Feng Liao's request for help, Prince Ying Fengshi had an angry and funny expression: "You brought people to Ruzhou without saying a word, just to reverse the case for that lovely family of yours?"
"The purpose at that time was not to overturn the case, but to find out the truth." Feng Liao said to Feng Shi sincerely, "Although I don't think Mei Qing will lie to me, I have to check it myself to know the truth of the matter. "
Feng Shi looked at him, and breathed a sigh of relief: "It's great if you can think like this! I'm really afraid that you will be fooled by women and ruin your life's future!"
Feng Liao was very disapproving: "We are all descendants of dragons and phoenixes, born rich and honored, even if we don't do anything serious for a lifetime, we can still enjoy the glory and wealth. Why bother to think about the future of life? Be an idler, Wouldn't it be better to live happily ever after?"
Feng Shi shook his head again and again, pointed at Feng Liao and said, "You, you! You are too lazy! Although the descendants of dragons and phoenixes are born rich, it is not easy to keep this country! You have enjoyed this wealth , shouldn't we do our best for this country?"
Feng Liao smiled and said: "Isn't there still a second brother? Dragon has nine sons, all of them are different! The second brother likes to worry, so he simply fucks with the younger brother; If we play together, we brothers will owe each other nothing!"
"You have a good idea!" Feng Shi scolded with a smile, "I am in charge of worrying, and you are in charge of having fun... I was born a few years earlier than you, so I deserve to work hard?!"
Feng Liao looked at him seriously, and then nodded seriously: "Whether it's hard work or not, it doesn't depend on whether you are born early or late, but on your temperament. The second elder brother is young and mature, and worries about everything, no matter how you look at it, he is a product of hard work! Brother, I am born lazy , ignorant, so I had to go and have fun!"
After finishing speaking, he picked up the jug, poured wine for Feng Shi graciously, and brought vegetables for Feng Shi, all of which were Feng Shi's favorite food.
"Obviously he was a very smart and wise person when he was young, but he would be more lazy the older he gets, and the more rogue when he gets older... Sigh!" Feng Shi looked at Feng Liao sideways, shook his head and sighed, "If you are willing to do business in the court, you can reverse the case for the Yong family. Why do you need to ask me for such a small matter?!"
Feng Liao then said: "Second brother, please stop talking! Is it possible that I have to go to court to become an official for such a trivial matter? I have little trouble, if I get into trouble, my second brother will not look good. !"
Feng Shi stopped talking, and only discussed with Feng Liao about the impeachment of the son of the Wei family.
The official son of the Wei family was called Wei Yaozu, and he was known as a child prodigy when he was very young. His life seems to be hanging out. He was selected as a scholar at the age of fifteen, a candidate at the age of sixteen, and a Jinshi at the age of twenty.
A young Jinshi, born handsome, was favored by Shaoqing of Dali Temple, and married a favored concubine daughter of Shaoqing's family.
The Wei family has always been ruthless, and their reputation in the business district of the capital is not very good.
After changing from a merchant's family to an official's family, the family status has risen, but the profit-seeking that the Wei family relied on to make a fortune has not disappeared because of this. On the contrary, because of the backing, the Wei family acted more recklessly. Over the years, they have done things like framing good people, stealing, bullying men and women, and buying and selling by force.
After reading the testimony and evidence provided by Feng Liao, Feng Shi said: "Although you stood out for the beauties, you can also be regarded as eliminating harm for the people. Not to mention the business of the land and shops, the lives of the Wei family are involved There are five items, and there are many families that were ruined by his family! This is just what you found... I don’t know how many you haven’t found. When this case starts trial, I’m afraid there will be more The suffering master jumped out, and the end of the wall falling and everyone falling, I am afraid it is inevitable!"
He roughly went through the testimonies again, shook his head, and said coldly: "Wei Yaozu's official career has come to an end! Although those bastard things were done by his uncles and brothers, he is not strict in family management, connivance Relatives cannot escape the crime of causing harm to the village."
Feng Liao laughed and said: "I checked Wei Yaozu, he did a good job in poetry and essays, and he is also good at criticizing actors, but he doesn't do much in official affairs. It's no pity to lose his official position. He will be a romantic talent in the future." !"
Feng Shi glanced at him with a half-smile: "I didn't say it's a pity, why are you so anxious? Don't worry! It's rare for you to beg me once, and I will definitely handle this matter beautifully for you. "
Feng Liao smiled and bowed to Feng Shi: "Then I would like to thank Second Brother for your trouble!
Feng Shi said with a half-smile: "I'm just talking a few words, so I don't need to worry about it. You, on the other hand, have to worry a lot about the beauty?"
Feng Liao scratched her head in embarrassment: "It's okay! It's just a trip to Ruzhou, so it's time to relax."
"Let's relax..." Feng Shi spit out these two words lightly between his teeth, and said through gritted teeth, "Is it so uncomfortable to stay at home?"
Feng Liao laughed: "How can I? I just said it in passing."
"The corpse that framed Wang Hu for killing his wife was really picked up from a mass grave?"
"Really!" Feng Liao swore to the sky with great sincerity, "Ming Jian has already found out the identity of the corpse! It is a brothel woman who is pregnant with someone's child. The doctor said her body is not suitable for abortion, but she refuses to die After giving birth to the child, I secretly bought abortion medicine and died of a blood collapse. The person who buried her was perfunctory, the burial was too shallow, and there was no coffin, so some wild dogs dug up her body and ate some of it. The famous sword just cleaned up the traces of the beasts biting on the corpse. When the matter of the Yong family is over, she will be reburied generously, and then she will perform a ritual ceremony to save her, and it will be considered as a debt. "
—————
In the Shou'an Hall, Yong Ruo, who had been left hanging in the small flower hall with no one to talk to, sat until his butt became numb, so he stood up and walked around a bit, exercising his muscles and bones, and straightened the overturned teapots and cups.
While walking in the hall, she was thinking about what happened today.
Concubine Shen doesn't like herself, that's for sure.
The reason may be anger, or because of his background, or other reasons.
So, what kind of person is Concubine Shen
After her natal family was confiscated, she was able to secure the position of the prince and concubine, and let the old Prince Ying help her natal family; and among the four adult children of the old Prince Ying, only one was a concubine... So, she absolutely Not a simple woman, she should have both charm and wrist.
From what Feng Liao said about the past, and the fact that Concubine Shen's three children have grown up safely, it can be generally inferred that Concubine Shen protects her children very well, but she also has a strong desire to control them.
This desire to control may have its own personality factors, or it may be the sequelae of raising children in a high-pressure environment.
Mother Du and her daughter drugged themselves, and Concubine Shen was probably instigated behind it, but other possibilities cannot be completely ruled out—for example, Mother Du and her daughter have secretly taken refuge in others.
What the truth is depends on what kind of evidence you can find, and there is no need to rush to conclusions now.
When she was thinking about the personnel relationship in Shou'an Hall, the heavy footsteps of Madam Du sounded outside the door again.
Madam Du, who had changed her clothes again, came in and said with a smile, "Toffee invites the beauties in."
"Thank you, Madam!" Yong Ruo thanked with a smile, and followed Madam Du to Shou'an Hall.
Mother Du walked with her while comforting her: "Beauty, don't worry. Miss Liu and Mrs. Liu are accompanying the concubine right now! Miss Liu is very fond of the concubine, and Mrs. Liu is the concubine's direct sister. ... If they are willing to say a few good words for you, the concubine will like you as soon as her heart softens..."
Yong Ruo thought: Is she implying that she pleases Liu's mother and daughter? He said with a smile, "Thank you, Mommy, for your suggestion."
When she entered the Shou'an Hall again, Concubine Shen was reclining on the red sandalwood carved couch inlaid with jade treasures, Liu Yuzhuang was sitting obliquely beside Concubine Shen, and Mrs. Liu was sitting on the upper armchair on the east side.
Yong Ruo walked slowly towards the couch, but a voice suddenly sounded in his head: "Ruo Ruo, Mrs. Liu has 0.5 unit of B-class sterilization drug in her body! It's worth 250 points!"
Yong Ruo was very surprised: Mrs. Liu has a Class B sterilization drug in her body
No wonder she only gave birth to Liu Yuzhuang, no wonder that Mrs. Liu Junliu will never be born... Who plotted against her? The sterilization pill that Zhu Ying gave herself should have come from Concubine Shen, and it was all A-grade good stuff. The sterilization drug in Mrs. Liu's body is only B-grade, so it should not be done by Concubine Shen.
She said to Luozuo in her heart: "I'm sure I'll find a way to get it, but don't worry, lest there be too many traces to attract suspicion." Now that she has collected enough points to save the Zhou family, the sterilization pill on Mrs. Liu's body can be drawn slowly. It's over.
Steadily walked a few steps in front of Concubine Shen's precious couch, bowed and saluted: "I belong to the Yong family, thank you for your kindness."
Concubine Shen was silent, and said lightly: "It turned out to be just some routine rewards, and it's not worth your thanking in person. It's just that Yuzhuang interceded for you, so I'll give her face and see you. Do you really want to Thank you, thank you Yuzhuang!"
Yong Ruo said: "Although it is a regular reward, it is the face of the concubine. I am grateful in my body and mind, and I should come to thank you." She also thanked Liu Yuzhuang, "Thank you, Miss Liu, for your kind words."
Liu Yuzhuang smiled lightly, and said softly: "Yong Mei is simple and natural, gentle and kind, I like it the first time I see her, I just added a few words, and I don't want to thank you." She smiled and acted like a baby to Concubine Shen , "As long as my aunt doesn't blame me for being talkative!"
Concubine Shen said angrily: "I don't blame you, who do you blame? Let's talk well, what did you call her for?" Then she turned her head and said to Yong Ruo, "Thank you for your kindness, you can go back! In the future, keep yourself safe and serve the prince of the county well. That's it."
"Yes!" Yong Ruo agreed, and bowed to leave, without procrastination, and without any feeling of grievance or dissatisfaction.
Her goal of going to Shou'an Hall to collect sterilization drugs has been achieved, and she just went back to Xiaoyao quickly. Could it be that she still wants to stand in Shou'an Hall and suffer the concubine Shen's eyes
Liu Yuzhuang showed a look of unbearable expression, and said with a smile, "I'll send Beauty Yong off!" She stood up from Concubine Shen's bed, walked to Yong Ruo, took her hand and walked out.
Yong Ruo said a few words modestly, then let her walk out holding hands.
She couldn't determine Miss Liu's real thoughts and real purpose. The best way to deal with it was to wait and see what happened. With the golden finger on her body, she still can't play with this girl Liu
Besides, it is not a good habit to "cure a gentleman's belly with the heart of a villain". Why should she act like a persecuted paranoid patient, seeing that everyone has malicious intentions
Before going out, she heard Concubine Shen saying to Mrs. Liu: "Everything is good in Yuzhuang, but she is too soft-hearted, and she will take care of everyone..."
Mrs. Liu sighed, and her tone was very helpless: "No! I'm worrying about this!"
Hearing these words, Yong Ruo turned to look at Liu Yuzhuang, and Liu Yuzhuang was also turning to look at her.
The two looked at each other, and they both smiled, as if they didn't hear it, and went out without looking back.
Outside Shou'an Hall, Yujing and Xiaoxue, who followed Yongruo, breathed a sigh of relief, rushed up to welcome them, and saluted Liu Yuzhuang.
Liu Yuzhuang smiled and said, "I'll accompany Yongmei for a few more steps and say a few words!"
After the two walked for a while, Liu Yuzhuang signaled the following girl to take a few steps back, and then whispered to Yong Ruo: "Does Yongmei know about Qing Xing and Qing Mei?" Qing Xing and Qing Mei are the two concubines Shen I want to reward Feng Liao as the housekeeper's girl.
Yong Ruo nodded: "I've heard of it."
"It's good to have heard about it, it saves me a lot of trouble." Liu Yuzhuang breathed a sigh of relief, and said softly, "My aunt was swept away by the third cousin, and now that the third cousin loves the beauty, it is inevitable that the aunt will be a little bit angry at the beauty. Let you suffer today's cold reception."
Yong Ruo nodded and said, "So that's how it is!"
"However, beauties don't have to worry. There will be a long time to come! When the concubine finds out about your character, if you show filial piety to the concubine, the concubine will naturally like you! If there is a chance, I will also say a few words for the beauty. In a word..." Liu Yuzhuang held Yong Ruo's hand and spoke very sincerely.
Yong Ruo understands! Cousin Liu just came to express her goodwill to her, which was consistent with the behavior of wanting to be a sister when they first met.
As for the purpose of showing favor... the biggest possibility is: Cousin Liu wants to use her as a springboard to get close to Feng Liao. So, what is the reason why Cousin Liu wants to get close to Feng Liao? Like Feng Liao? Or just simply looking for a backer? This question can be judged slowly, and there is no need to rush to a conclusion.
After Liu Yuzhuang finished showing her love, Yong Ruo didn't invite her to sit in Wuchenju, but left directly.
No matter what Liu Yuzhuang's real purpose is, she is willing to play with her, but it will not be so easy for Liu Yuzhuang to achieve her goal of setting foot in Wuchenju—if this is really Liu Yuzhuang's goal.
After walking for a while, Yujing asked Yongruo in a low voice: "Why has the beauty stayed in Shou'an Hall for so long? If you don't come out again, the servants will send someone to ask the county prince for help!"
Yong Ruo said with a smile: "I just waited in the small flower hall for a while, so there is no need to be so nervous. Although the concubine is a little cold to me, I didn't make a mistake, so she won't treat me badly."
After returning to Wuchenju, Feng Liao still hasn't come back. Yong Ruo's regular meal has been brought back, but it has been left cold for too long.
The weather is still cold now, and the cold food is really uneatable.
Yong Ruo asked someone to bring the cold food to the tea room, where there was a stove; he also asked someone to find a small pot, mixed the food and heated it up, and shared it with Yujing and others around the stove. .
This way of eating made her feel a little bit back when she was in Yong's house, and she was quite nostalgic in her heart.
When Feng Liao came back, she was a little drunk. Yong Ruo helped him to the room, fetched water for him to wash his face, and helped him fall asleep.
About going back to Yong's house to save the Zhou family, I can only tell Feng Liao tomorrow.
