When Shen Diaolan saw Xi Fuwei, her expression was calm, but her eyes showed a little surprise. It was obvious that her neat and unhurried appearance was different from what he expected.

"Sir, I have already met the two ladies." Xi Fuwei noticed that she felt a little angry in her heart. After suppressing her distracting thoughts and saluting, she sat down at his signal and said, "It doesn't matter if the two ladies are making things difficult for me. Now What I did was deliberately ruining the master’s plan.”

"Tell me about it." Shen Tiaolan nodded noncommittally.

Xi Fuwei then took Ouyang Yuanshui's words and added more fuel and jealousy, and said it in detail, and finally said: "I am not very familiar with Miss Xu, but since she is the apple of Duke Dingguo's palace, she still Your Majesty is a very honorable lady. No matter what the reason, she came all the way to Shandong. It is said that it has been some time. Why haven't people from the Dingguo Palace chased her back? After all, a girl who has not left the cabinet is alone these days. If you are wandering outside, you may be protected by guards so you don't have to worry about your safety, but your reputation may not be good, right?"

"Under normal circumstances, my subordinates would have thought that Miss Xu would not be able to reach Shandong at all, so she would be coaxed back by the people from Dingguo Palace."

"Now that Duke Dingguo is letting her go like this, there is probably something inside!"

"This inside story may have something to do with her helping Miss Song to make things difficult for her subordinates!"

She tried her best to describe Xu Jingyuan and Song Jianiang's actions of causing trouble for her as a temple fight disguised as jealousy.

Seeing Shen Tiaolan listening, there was no expression on his face, and he couldn't see his thoughts. He was a little discouraged, but he continued, "As for Miss Song... I don't know this lady well, but this lady, Are you traveling with Song Shangshu?"

So, maybe her actions were inspired by Song Li

Although Song Li had tactfully stated that he was very optimistic about Shen Diaolan being his son-in-law, how could he trust what an old fox like him said

Not to mention just a son-in-law!

People with high positions and powerful positions can be cruel and ruthless, and some people can abandon their own flesh and blood, let alone a son-in-law who is not related by blood

"You keep saying that you don't understand this and you don't know that." After listening to Xi Fuwei's carefully organized words to sow discord along the way, Shen Taolan took a sip of tea and finally spoke slowly, "The complaint is clear and logical. !”

Xi Fuwei couldn't tell the emotion of his words, so she said cautiously: "I just want to share your worries for you."

After a pause, he whispered again, "I have never provoked Miss Xu or Miss Song."

When Shen Tiaolan heard this, he glanced at her and said calmly, "Do you blame me for dragging you down?"

Xi Fuwei really had this idea, and even deliberately reminded Shen Tielan tactfully that if the troubles between Xu Jingyuan and Song Jianiang were not resolved as soon as possible, Shen Tielan's boss would probably be dissatisfied with him: he asked you to come to Shandong and asked you to work. It's not for you to seduce girls and make them jealous and cause all kinds of right and wrong!

But at this moment, in front of Shen Tiaolan, of course he refused to admit it: "I don't dare! Your Excellency has been faithful to his duties these days, how can he drag down his subordinates? It's because my subordinates are sorry for Your Excellency and failed to live up to Your Majesty's expectations."

Shen Taolan said lightly: "It's good that you know."

Xi Fuwei choked on her words and remained silent for a while.

There was silence in the room for a while, and then Shen Tiaolan said: "This matter ends here. I will find someone to talk to Miss Xu and Miss Song and tell them to stop messing around! But after their troubles, the Zou Mansion will definitely Are we going to be suspicious of you too?"

When Xi Fuwei heard that he would stop Xu Jingyuan and Song Jianiang from causing trouble, she felt happy. When she heard the next sentence, she suddenly fainted again. After hesitating for a while, she said with a bitter smile: "Mrs. Shang didn't point it out, but my subordinates want to Well, she should have an idea."

Biting her lower lip, "Actually, Mrs. Shang would not have become suspicious of her subordinates so quickly! But it was Wen Xianyun, the eldest son of the Wen family in Dongchang Mansion. He didn't know why, but he came to Zhuang's house with Miss Xu and the others. The old lady was celebrating her birthday, and she happened to meet her subordinate at the banquet, so she shouted out her identity and went to the old lady to take her back!"

"After that, Mrs. Zhuang was arguing with him, while Mrs. Shang called her subordinates to speak alone... So the subordinates suspected that he secretly told the Zou Mansion all the details of his subordinates, leaving no room for denial. No!"

"Dongchang Mansion Wen family?" Shen Tiaolan frowned and said, "This must be Miss Xu's idea. It seems that they have some brains and know that visiting in person is enough to arouse suspicion. If they are specifically targeted I don’t know how many unpleasant things you will say, so I found Wen Xianyun to be the spearman!”

Just ask her, "How is Wen Xianyun doing now?"

"Still eating wine at the banquet." Xi Fuwei lowered his eyes and said, "Looking at his appearance, he will not give up unless his identity is revealed, and then he takes him back to the Wen family and lets him learn from him! So this subordinate is very special I came to see my lord and ask for your advice, what should I do next?”

Shen Tiaolan squinted his eyes, thought for a while, and said, "Besides this, is there anything else?"

Xi Fuwei secretly looked at his expression, but because although the two had met several times, they didn't have any in-depth understanding, so she really couldn't predict this person's temper, let alone his current thoughts. She was silent for a while and said: " The Zou family is willing to continue to regard me as a girl from the Shen family, and now the other things are settled. The most important thing is that the Shen family has seen a real girl from the Shen family."

Seeing that Shen Tiaolan remained silent, he continued, "I told Mrs. Shang that it would be better to prevent those people from being witnesses."

"..." Shen Tao Lan Zhiyi sat for a moment, said "hmm" and said, "I will arrange the manpower for this matter."

Xi Fuwei waited for a while and saw that he had nothing else to say. She was a little unwilling and said, "Sir, what about Wen Xianyun?"

Xu Jingyuan, you want to see Emperor Yongle's face, Song Jianiang, you want to see Song Li's face. This Wen Xianyun is just a descendant of a wealthy family in Dongchang Mansion. You are a dignified and well-dressed guard of hundreds of households. From the tone of the servant, your family is not from an ordinary family. Are you still afraid? Got him

"The Wen family is a wealthy family in Dongchang Prefecture." Shen Tiaolan heard the meaning behind her words and immediately gave her a warning look, "The project to connect the river needs the full support of such a prominent family!"

He emphasized the four words "strong support".

Xi Fuwei tasted it and thought to herself that this was probably to make the Wen family shed more blood? And then just forget it

I felt disappointed and sad.

The Wen family has now embraced the Dingguo Palace and the Song family. This family is not stupid. Will they not seize the opportunity to get close to Yingtian Palace

After the dredging of the canal is completed, the lintel of this family may be more glamorous. If you are lucky, it is not impossible to be a good businessman and an official!

At that time, she and Xi Jiao had a daughter and a child. How could she take revenge

As for Shen Tiaolan's promise... Xi Fuwei frowned, thinking that this man was deep-minded and came from a wealthy family. Since he was unwilling to attack Wen Xianyun now, he would be willing to deal with Wen Xianyun for their aunt and nephew in the future. What are the possibilities of home

And if he breaks the contract, what can he do

If Xi Jiao wasn't still in Shen Tiaolan's hands, Xi Fuwei would have just walked away right now!

"My lord, that's what you said." She took a deep breath, suppressed her surging mood, lowered her head and said, "It's my subordinate's lack of consideration."

Shen Tiaolan probably noticed her disappointment and said, "I have my own arrangements for the Wen family, don't worry!"

Xi Fuwei didn't believe this at all, so she just lowered her head and said "yes".

Seeing that he had nothing else to say, he resigned.

When she returned to Zou Mansion, the birthday banquet was already coming to an end, so she simply did not return the banquet and went straight back to Fenzhi Tower.

But they saw that Yao Zhuosu had come back and was talking vividly about what happened at the birthday banquet to the Yao family and several servants who had not attended.

Seeing Xi Fuwei push the door open and come in, she jumped up and greeted him with a smile: "Sister Shen, are you back? Why so early?"

"Are you saying I'm early?" Xi Fuwei glanced at her expression and knew that most likely she still didn't know about the turmoil in front of Mrs. Zhuang today. However, this was not surprising. Yao's mother and daughter were Fenzhi Loujin. Even if he is related to Mrs. Zhuang, he is a distant relative and has come all the way to join her. He doesn't like to ask around, so he is naturally not well-informed.

I don’t know what my attitude will be after knowing those things.

He nodded towards her and said with a smile, "You are earlier than me."

Yao Zhuosu explained: "I heard what my mother said. You came back just now. You changed your clothes and went out, but you didn't return to the table... Are you here to see your brother?"

Xi Fuwei said nonchalantly: "Yes, he had a cough the past two days. I wasn't worried about it, so I took advantage of the opportunity to go back and have a look."

"Cough?" Yao Zhuosu was startled and blurted out, "Then he still goes to the garden to blow the air?"

Yao Shi coughed immediately after saying this, and Yao Zhuosu also realized something was wrong and said hurriedly, "I met my sister's clan brother in the garden before. He cared about my sister very much and asked me a lot about her current situation. Although I said that my sister is I went back two days ago, but because I was thinking about the disciples at my master's side, I left without staying much longer without saying a few words. And I was afraid that my sister would report good news but not bad news, so I took advantage of the old lady's birthday this time , came here specifically to take a look. It’s a pity that we couldn’t find my sister at that time.”

Xi Fuwei looked at her a little suspiciously. If Fu Chuoxian said this, there would be nothing suspicious about it, because although Fu Chuoxian had always been disliked by Zou Yiang, he did have such a generous spirit.

However, Yao Zhuo is much more submissive by nature and is particularly shy in front of strangers.

I still remember that when this girl entered Fenzhi Tower for the first time, she kept hiding behind Yao and did not dare to come out.

I met Shen Diaolan in the garden... Shen Diaolan also came to attend Mrs. Zhuang's birthday, and then left early. Xi Fuwei was not surprised at this. After all, this person had always had a conspiracy against the Zou Mansion. The birthday banquet was How could you miss this opportunity to come in and observe in an upright manner

But Yao Zhuosu actually dared to talk to Shen Diolan. Well, the truth was 100 percent that Shen Diolan was using Yao Zhuosu's words, but Yao Zhuosu actually didn't run away in panic or stayed there like a tree and was so nervous that he couldn't say a word. , but Xi Fuwei had to think more.

"That really happened to be missed." She thought about it and smiled, "But fortunately when I went back to see him just now, he basically stopped coughing."

He added, "He still had the nerve to tell me whether to report good news or bad news. He didn't even tell me about coming to the banquet. Otherwise, why wouldn't I go to him?"

The two exchanged some more pleasantries, and Xi Fuwei was about to go upstairs to her room when she heard a sound of kicking in the yard, followed by Fu Chuoxian, whose cheeks were bloodshot and his whole body was exuding anger, leading the waiter who was waiting for her. The maid Hongzhi walked in with a dark face!
