"I didn't expect that when I took office as a new officer, I would encounter such a difficult matter."
Jing Ke spoke slowly, looking around at everyone with a half-smile.
Everyone was silent, looking at Du Suxi and the magistrate's wife who used to be very beautiful, but now looked like a defeated rooster.
Du Suxi's big hat was put on one after another, and the dunks were exciting, but it also left people speechless.
The prefect's wife indeed said those words, but she never thought that she would be caught by the childish-looking boy in front of her. It can't go up or come down, but it's like a dog-skin plaster that can't be taken off.
Jing Ke suddenly coughed. The voice dropped.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I am the Hundred Flowers Envoy specially appointed by the Emperor. Your Majesty has entrusted me with all matters related to the Hundred Flowers Festival. However, I never thought that all the ladies would actually sing such a song for me. It’s a good show, I’m really flattered and I don’t know what to do.”
Is this person the Envoy of Hundred Flowers
All the ladies opened their eyes wide and looked at Jing Ke carefully, with expressions of disbelief on their faces.
The Hundred Flowers Envoy is not an official position, but it involves the fate of their daughter. If this person tells the story today, his daughter may not be chosen, right
This is a big deal.
A beautiful woman came out of the crowd. Nodding towards Jing Ke, he walked up to the shrewish woman and shouted sternly.
"Ms. Sun, why don't you admit that you did something wrong? You can afford to shame this person, but I can't. You can take your daughter and retreat on your own."
This beautiful woman is the mistress of the Du family, Mrs. Ye.
It's true that enemies never get together. I never thought that with so many doors to enter and exit, they would bump into each other again. Du Suxi snorted coldly in her heart, but there was no expression on her face.
"What? Mother? Why should I leave? I won't leave, I won't leave."
The woman's daughter was silent at first, but when she heard that Mr. Ye was going to kick her out, she immediately panicked, grabbed the corner of the woman's clothes and shouted loudly.
The woman looked at Mrs. Ye, then at her crying daughter, who was begging for help. She gritted her teeth, looked at Jing Ke, and said.
"This person is talking nonsense! I am the wife of the prefect, and I have been a lady who has been wearing a girl's ring since I was a child. How could I say such vulgar words? She is clearly slandering me, and this is clearly slander. Please return the favor to my daughter. clean."
As soon as she finished speaking, she lowered her head and glared at the women. The women's legs and feet shook, and they immediately nodded in agreement.
Du Suxi saw all this and laughed out loud.
"The prefect's wife has really beautiful eyes. Look, they don't even dare to look at you."
Some of the people couldn't help laughing.
Sun's face turned purple from suppressing the pressure. She was ashamed and annoyed. She glared at Du Suxi and lowered her voice to threaten.
"I am the prefect's wife. If you force me to have no way out, I will never let you go. I don't believe what that slutty fox will do for you, a slave. If you help me settle this matter In the past, I will definitely be grateful."
Until now, Sun regarded Du Suxi as a slave brought by Jingwei.
Du Suxi smiled even bigger.
"I think your daughter is so beautiful. If she can participate in the Flower Festival, she will definitely be favored by the emperor."
Sun's eyes lit up with joy when she heard Du Suxi's words.
Du Suxi looked at the happy look, and the smile on her face gradually faded away.
She is like a spider, closing its web and strangling its prey in its web in an instant.
"But it's a pity that I don't intend to give you this opportunity. Remember, my name is Murong Fei."
The cruelest thing in the world is the feeling of loss after giving hope and then suddenly withdrawing it.
Sun was too stunned to react.
But Ye frowned slightly. Speak confidently.
"Come here, take this woman away. It's just a joke to the envoy."
Someone immediately dragged Sun and her daughter away.
Du Suxi looked at Ye, walked forward and gave her a blessing.
"Thank you madam for speaking up, otherwise I wouldn't know what to do."
Mrs. Ye nodded slightly and said softly.
"It's getting late, let's enter the palace early."
She deliberately kept her distance and indifference from Du Suxi, and took the lead in walking forward.
Du Suxi was startled, looking at Jing Ke who was standing next to her at some point, and said in a low voice.
"Thank you for what happened just now."
"With a little effort, I didn't expect you to be so aggressive? What would you do if I wasn't here? I looked at those people just now, and they were all not easy to mess with..."
Du Suxi turned around and looked at Jing Ke
, a confident smile on the corner of his mouth.
"Then make the matter bigger, the bigger the better. Find justice."
Jing Ke was startled, then put his forehead on his hands and said.
"You are really brave."
Wei Qing looked at the two of them, the corners of his eyes were already a little wet, and he was about to wipe them away quietly, but Du Suxi saw him.
"You actually cried?" Du Suxi raised her eyebrows and looked at Wei Qing. There was some disappointment in his eyes.
"I didn't, I didn't cry, sir, I didn't." Wei Qing hurriedly wiped his eyes with his clothes and looked at Du Suxi with his big eyes.
"I'm just a little worried about the young master. I thought, the young master..."
"Think I'm dead?" Du Suxi said funny, looking at Wei Qing, Wei Qing nodded without hesitation.
Du Suxi gave Wei Qing a decisive blow.
"Do you think I am a fool? Let yourself die so easily? Wei Qing, I want you to remember that when a person lives, he must not only live well, but also live out his own personality. If others insult you today, When you gain power in the future, you will take revenge. Do you feel happy today when you see these people being defeated?"
"It's great!" Wei Qing replied softly, with a bright smile finally showing on his face. Du Suxi stretched out her hand, pinched Wei Qing's tender and white face, and sighed.
"It's great to have a face that will captivate a country, eh..."
Jing Ke gave Du Suxi a strange look.
With Jing Ke escorting them along the way, the women did not say anything. Although the women standing behind them were all high-ranking officials of several grades, the current county magistrates are not as good as the current ones. The newly appointed Baihua Envoy, Everyone can still see that this is related to the Murong Fei next to Jingwei.
That Murong Fei looked gentle and gentle, like a gentle man, but they were all looking at him just now. When he talked and moved his hands, he was not inferior to those generals on the battlefield at all, so it was better not to offend him.
The first day the ladies entered the palace. The housekeeper arranged for her to stay there, and Du Suxi directly stuffed a large gold coin into the housekeeper's house and arranged the best room for them by name.
Du Suxi didn't know anything about the rules in the palace, but fortunately she was not short of money. Money can make all the difference. This is not unreasonable. The steward took the big gold ingot with a smile on her face. She slapped her chest loudly and kept promising that she would never let him down.
I never thought that she would never be disappointed.
Du Suxi looked at the identical decoration on the opposite door with resentment, and felt that she was at a loss. God knew that all the rooms were exactly the same. She would never spend this money, no matter where she stayed, it was not accommodation!
She even spent money to live in a room across from Du Yunxi and the others. Is this the best room? Taking the opportunity to curry favor with Mrs. Zaifu? God knows that Du Suxi wished she could crush these two women to death with both hands like they were squeezing grasshoppers.
Wei Qing saw Du Suxi's unhappy look and didn't dare to disturb her for a while. The room was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
There was a sudden noise outside the door.
Du Suxi raised her eyebrows. Stand up and walk outside.
"Mr. Murong, do you still remember me?" Du Yunxi stood at the door and looked at Du Suxi with a playful expression. Du Suxi subconsciously wanted to take off her shoes and throw them on Du Yunxi's face.
This woman, when she harmed her, was not like this, she was really changeable!
Holding back the anger in her heart, Du Suxi showed a gentle smile.
"Miss Du came to see me today. What's the matter?"
This Du Yunxi must have some thoughts on finding a "big man" in her regardless of her own reputation, right? After living in the same courtyard with Du Yunxi for a few days, Du Suxi gradually started to feel a little bit like Du Yunxi's temper.
Du Yunxi nervously took out a box of snacks from behind. Pass it to Du Suxi.
"Young Master was frightened today, so I came to give this to you, to calm down the shock."
Shocking...
If you sincerely remember me, why are you treating me like an afterthought? To be honest, I don't dare to eat what you brought, Du Suxi cursed in her heart, and her mind couldn't help but think of the day when she was tricked by Du Yunxi on the day of Ji Zhili.
You are careless and underestimate the enemy. If you don't escape decisively, you may be killed by this woman Du Yunxi, right
The more he thought about it, the more wary he became, but he accepted Du Yunxi's food with a flattered expression on his face.
She thought for a while and decided to test Du Yunxi. He opened his mouth and smiled.
"Why don't I just eat here and then go in? If Miss Jingwei sees it, I'm afraid she will fight with me again."
As Du Suxi said that, she was about to sit on the ground, open the lid of the box and eat.
"Hey, this is not for you to eat." Du Yunxi looked at the way "Mr. Murong" was planning to eat alone, and suddenly felt heartbroken.
In a hurry, he snatched the box of snacks.
There is indeed something wrong with this damn thing!
Du Suxi's eyes darkened. There is no flaw on his face. He looked at Du Yunxi doubtfully. Wink.
"What's wrong? Miss Du? Isn't this just to calm my nerves?"
"Ah, this, yes, yes, I, I think, I think you are hiding here to eat alone, but leaving Miss Jingwei in there, some, some are not good, although, although Miss Jingwei and I are both Xiu Nu, but I am not that stingy, so please give her some of this box of cakes."
Du Yunxi's acting skills are really poor. Taking a deep breath, Du Suxi looked at Du Yunxi's face. After a long time, she controlled her urge to expose her and smiled stupidly.
"So that's it. Thank you very much for your kindness. I'll take it in and eat it with Miss Jingwei. Miss Du is busy now. I'm really flattered."
"Hold it carefully. There are many precious supplements in here. It would be a pity if you don't eat them." Du Yunxi shouted after him. He had just taken a few steps and was about to go in and take a look. As Jingwei and the others ate, the charred wood suddenly flashed past, blocking Du Yunxi's steps.
"It's a little inconvenient inside, so please respect yourself, girl."
This is a naked warning. Du Yunxi glanced inside worriedly, and called Mr. Murong, but no one paid attention. She looked at Jiao Mu's stern wooden face, snorted coldly, and turned around to leave.
She put some "surprises" in the pastry. As long as Jingwei eats it, she will see what she can compete with her on the Hundred Flowers Festival tomorrow.
Thinking that she lost a strong competitor, Du Yunxi felt indescribably happy. She hummed happily and walked into her private room.
Du Suxi walked in the door and dropped the box of pastries on the ground with a bang.
Jingwei glanced at Du Suxi strangely and asked doubtfully.
"What's wrong? Is there something wrong with this pastry? Why does the young master look so angry?"
After she said that, she reached out her hand out of curiosity. The box of pastries was smashed and a corner was exposed, revealing the exquisite plum blossom shape inside.
"This is very exquisitely made. Master, who sent it to you?"
Jingwei picked up a piece and looked at it in his hand.
"Don't move!" Jiao Mu sent Du Yunxi away. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Wei Qing holding a piece of pastry with a curious look on his face. He was immediately startled, pulled out the knife with a clatter, and picked off the piece of pastry in Wei Qing's hand. .
"You can't touch this thing, do you understand that?"
Jiao Mu frowned, looked at Wei Qing and warned sternly. His knife was pointed clearly at Du Yunxi, with a stern look on his face, like a cat with its tail lit.
Wei Qing was so frightened that he stared at the burnt wood.
Du Suxi laughed heartily. He looked at Wei Qing teasingly and said.
"It's rare that your elm head can open up and know what can and can't be moved. I'm very pleased."
"..." Jiaomu was so speechless that he was speechless. Looking at Wei Qing blankly, he opened his mouth to explain.
"I don't think the lady from the Du family has a good heart. I think it's better not to eat this food." After a pause, he added with an even redder face.
"If you want to eat, I will cook it for you."
This elm-headed man was really kind to Wei Qing. Du Suxi saw it and sighed secretly in her heart, patted Wei Qing's hand and said.
"Eat, you must eat, and you must eat it all."
"Master Du, you are crazy, what if this pastry is mixed with poison!" Jiao Mu immediately screamed.
Du Suxi shrugged and answered indifferently.
"If Jingwei loses, let her go home to farm and stop following me."
"How is this possible!" Jiao Mu exclaimed. He stared at Du Suxi, as if he wanted to see a hole in her.
"Miss Jingwei practices so hard every day, doesn't Mr. Du even notice that he is so cruel to her?"
Faced with Wei Qing's matter, Jiao Mu has always lost his mind.
Du Suxi curled her lips, looked at Wei Qing strangely, and said with a smile.
"That's weird. Am I treating her badly?"
“…”
Jiao Mu was blocked by Du Suxi again and blushed, feeling at a loss.
"Okay, knight, just stay here and help me take care of your princess. As for me, I'm going to find someone to test how poisonous this thing is. Before that, you must follow her every step of the way. do you know?"
Du Suxi glared at Jiao Mu, stood up simply, picked up the box of pastries and Shi Shiran left.
The charred thoughts in his heart were so obvious, but Wei Qing never expressed his position. It seems that Luo Hua deliberately wanted to be ruthless.
