"Go find the account book from last time."
After Mo Junran left, Emperor Wenyuan ordered Li Qing, who was standing beside him, to bring the account book that Shen Li had imitated Old Master Shen’s handwriting last time.
Compare the handwriting.
Emperor Wenyuan immediately slammed the imperial desk and his face darkened.
"Li Qing, have someone check on Shen Li to see if he had any contact with Lao Ba during his exile. And..."
"Go check out Yunxian Tower."
The news of the city-wide bounty offered by Yunxian Tower a few days ago naturally reached the ears of Emperor Wenyuan.
He didn't care much at first.
However, the burned letter had Yunxian Tower written on it, but most of the content afterwards was burned.
The next day.
In the court.
Duke Yun was imprisoned by the court.
But no one knew that before Duke Yun was imprisoned, he went to the Imperial Study to meet Emperor Wenyuan.
…
When Yang Zhao heard the news that Duke Yun was imprisoned, he just smiled faintly.
"Madam, the master sent someone to ask you to come over!" January came into the room and reported.
Dong Shuang stayed in the Marquis's Mansion.
Xia Ying went out to do some business and hasn't come back yet.
Now serving Yang Zhao are the second-class maids January and February, both of whom have been with Yang Zhao for many years and are trustworthy.
"I heard that the master has not come out since he went to Concubine Wei's courtyard yesterday. The hot water has been changed many times, and I can hear the master's strange cries from time to time. Letting the lady go over now, are you trying to make her upset?" Er Yue frowned when she heard Chen Li coming to invite her master.
"They are all things that are not worthy of attention. Madam won't be bothered by them. I guess the master wants our Madam to deal with some troubles!" January said.
January guessed right.
When Shen Li saw Yang Zhao, he was not in the best condition. He seemed exhausted for some reason, so he said without much ado, "A Zhao, in a few days some relatives from Yujiang will come to stay at our house for a while. You should make proper arrangements for them then."
"Yujiang relatives?"
"Yes, they are all relatives from my hometown in Yujiang. They are here to take part in this year's Spring Examination. They may also bring some female relatives with them. You need to make good preparations in the front yard and backyard by then."
"Don't neglect them. As for food and clothing, just follow the arrangements made by Yujiang."
"And the matter of my aunt"
When Shen Li mentioned Shen Sulan, his brows slightly furrowed, but his tone was somewhat matter-of-fact as he said: "When the time comes, you can send someone to the Chen family to see if they can mediate. If not, let the Chen family come forward to clarify the rumors outside, and let them return the aunt's dowry..."
Generally speaking, a woman's dowry must be returned to the woman.
Unless a woman commits an unforgivable mistake in her husband's family, her husband's family will not have to return the dowry.
Shen Sulan, this is obviously the case.
After hearing what Chen Li said, Yang Zhao almost laughed at him. Could it be that Chen Li wanted her to use her identity as the Marquis of Zhenbei to put pressure on the Chen family and restore her reputation?
That's ridiculous.
However, Yang Zhao did not show it on her face, instead she responded respectfully: "I understand, I will make arrangements, my husband, don't worry."
"Thanks a lot."
Shen Li's eyes softened a bit.
He felt very pleased with Yang Zhao's obedience, and he couldn't help but think of what his grandmother had said to him.
She said: She has finally figured it out these days. The Shen family can do without anyone except Yang Zhao. Only with Yang Zhao can the Shen family be invincible. So he must hold on to her.
It would be best if we could be a real couple.
In this way, Yang Zhao can devote himself more wholeheartedly to the Shen family.
Looking at the dignified and beautiful Yang Zhao in front of him, Shen Li was indeed tempted by something. However, as soon as he had this thought, he felt a sharp pain in his lower abdomen...
Damn it!
Shen Li turned around and went to Wei Yaer's courtyard again.
But just as he entered, he heard a series of banging sounds, accompanied by Xuan Ge'er's angry shouts: "I'm so annoyed, can you please stop nagging me every day? You're giving me a headache. If you keep doing this, I won't come next time."
"Xuan'er, mother just wants you to drink the medicine. That medicine..."
"I won't eat it. It's too bitter and tastes too bad."
"You make me take medicine every day. I told you I don't like it, but you still force me. You used to be like this. In order to please my father, you always force me to do things I don't like. I hate my mother. I don't like my mother anymore. I want my mother, I want my mother..." Xuan Ge'er started smashing things again.
Wei Yaer looked at the grumpy Xuan Ge'er and felt angry and annoyed.
After reaching an agreement with Yang Zhao.
She became a concubine and could also see Xuan Ge'er.
But Xuan Ge'er's condition was obviously out of control. Even though she used medicine to reduce Xuan Ge'er's dependence on the longevity ointment, it still could not change his irritability and violent condition. Xuan Ge'er now had completely lost his previous intelligence and composure. At this moment, he was like a can of dynamite, and he would start smashing things and hitting people as soon as he was unhappy.
Today I just want him to take medicine.
He actually started to make a fuss.
He kept saying that he didn't want her, he wanted his mother...
Wei Yaer was so angry that she couldn't help but grab him and stop him from smashing things: "Xuan brother, you can't do this again...ah!"
Wei Yaer screamed in pain.
It’s Brother Xuan.
He actually bit Wei Yaer's hand that was holding him, biting it so hard that blood came out.
Wei Yaer pushed him away subconsciously because of the pain.
"ah!"
Xuan Ge'er fell to the ground with a thud, and his butt was covered with fragments. The pain made him burst into tears.
"Ouch...it hurts so much, I don't want my mother, I don't want my mother anymore, I want my mother, I want my mother..."
When Shen Li entered the room, he saw this scene.
He frowned deeply.
In the past, Xuan Ge'er was chubby, delicate and pretty, and even when he cried he was adorable and pitiful.
But at this time, Xuan Ge'er was so thin that he was unrecognizable. Half of his face and the area below his neck were covered with hideous burn scars. He was crying with his mouth open, which was really scary.
Shen Li couldn't help but feel a hint of disgust.
"Send the young master back to Mingxuan Garden." Shen Li ordered the servant.
The servant came forward.
But as soon as the servant touched Xuan Ge'er, he slapped his hand away and shouted at the top of his voice: "Get out of here, you are all bad people, I don't want you anymore, I want my mother, I want my mother..."
Xuan Ge'er cried and waved his claws.
The servant was arrested several times.
When Shen Li saw this, his brows were furrowed so tightly that he could pinch a fly to death, and his eyes were filled with impatient disgust: "Shut up."
The sudden shout stopped Xuan Ge'er from crying.
After seeing that it was Shen Li, Xuan Ge'er was a little timid, and immediately tears came to his eyes: "Daddy! I'm hurt! They all bullied me, and Mom also bullied me..."
