In the study room at the back of the government office, the windows and doors were tightly closed, and light filtered through the green gauze windows, making the inner room extremely bright.
Jiang Yuzhu was in poor condition and felt dizzy.
When Xie Zhao heard that Jiang Yuzhu had come, he thought she was here to urge him to facilitate the marriage between Jia Xinglin and Wei Jing.
In the past two days, Emperor Xiao She often disappeared. After the morning court, Xie Zhao went to the imperial study twice, but found nothing both times.
Since he had promised to help Jiang Yuzhu, he had to explain a few words.
The room was quiet and filled with the aroma of tea.
Xie Zhao walked in and found Jiang Yuzhu lying on the table, so he said, "Give me three days, and I will definitely solve this matter."
Jiang Yuzhu was bent over her desk, not hearing a single word.
No matter how cold and clear Xie Zhao's voice was, it still sounded like a buzzing fly when the pain became unbearable.
Jiang Yuzhu was so angry that she wanted to kick Xie Zhao out, but suddenly she remembered that this was Xie Zhao's territory and she lost her confidence.
A quarter of an hour later, Xie Zhao was still in the room.
Jiang Yuzhu had to stand up and ask, "Isn't the master busy?"
Because of the pain in her lower abdomen, Jiang Yuzhu's voice was cold and a little hoarse than usual.
Then, she ignored Xie Zhao and pushed the door open to leave.
Xie Zhao stared at her back, then turned his head and looked down at the corner of the table where she was working.
In the study was a sparkling clean tea table with water marks on the corners.
Looking closely, it was the handprint left by Jiang Yuzhu while she was lying down.
It wasn't a hot spring day, but her palms were sweating. Was she sick?
Xie Zhao followed him out of the yard unconsciously, his eyes following the familiar figure as he got on the carriage, until the carriage turned the corner and disappeared from his sight.
There was a large carriage parked in the corner of the back hall. It looked familiar and seemed to be the carriage of the Xie Mansion in Jiangnan.
Could it be that any family members have come to Beijing?
Xie Zhao stood there for a while and then returned to the study. He picked up the teacup used by Jiang Yuzhu.
The tea has gone cold and tastes inexplicably bitter.
Seeing Liang An peeking out, Xie Zhao ordered, "Go back to the mansion and ask the kitchen to stew some tonic food for Madam, and add some candied fruits."
After drinking bitter medicine, you must eat candied fruit to sweeten your mouth.
Liang An was stunned: "What happened to the Madam?"
In fact, Liang An wanted to ask the master what was wrong with him. He had been married for three years without paying any attention to her, and suddenly asked the kitchen to send some supplements.
So Liang An added, "Poisoned?"
Xie Zhao: "..."
Even the servant beside him doubted his intentions. Xie Zhao's mouth twitched slightly: "Liang An, is there anything wrong with me caring about my wife?"
Liang An looked very conflicted, and after a moment he decided to tell the truth: "You should have asked this question earlier, not more than three years later. You suddenly bring it up, which is a bit like a weasel paying New Year's greeting to a chicken."
After Liang An finished speaking, he slipped away.
At the gate of the rear yamen, Nanny Shen retracted her head and said uncertainly: "Madam, this old servant has a feeling that the young master just looked at the direction of the carriage in a complicated way. We should be exposed."
Shen was not surprised: "Just now, Yuzhu came out and covered her lower abdomen, and her face looked even worse. Could it be that she was beaten by Yuanhe?"
It is unjust for a man to use violence!
Shen had never doubted her son, but the letters from Xie Xuan and Shen Zhilan that bombarded her made Shen's belief collapse.
Shen decided to go to Shen Zhilan to inquire about the situation first, and then return to Xie Mansion to take care of her daughter-in-law.
At least, a mother-in-law should always know what her daughter-in-law likes.
Shen Zhilan was learning a craft in the countryside and was almost frightened when she heard that her aunt was coming to the capital.
Aunt Shen seems to have a good temper, but she is actually a very stubborn person. She has some tricks that make the concubines in the back house behave like quails.
"Zhilan, auntie has something to ask you."
When facing her niece, Shen was much more direct and poured out all the questions in her mind.
Ever since Shen Zhilan came to her senses, she has come to respect, envy and be grateful for Jiang Yuzhu, and has long regarded her as a close friend.
In order to speak for Jiang Yuzhu, Shen Zhilan could only step on her cousin Xie Zhao, who was like the snow in the mountains and the moon in the clouds and seemed a little out of reach.
"Aunt, you're here just in time. You must take care of my cousin!"
Chen Zhilan defended Jiang Yuzhu domineeringly, "My cousin's wife is the best woman I've ever met. If she hadn't married my cousin, her reputation wouldn't be so bad. Isn't it all because of those little rascals who were determined to marry my cousin? Especially Wei Jing!"
Shen Zhilan opened up and told everything that had happened since she arrived in Beijing.
"At the Wei Mansion's birthday banquet, my cousin's wife defended me and I was almost framed by Wei Jing. Even so, my cousin's wife still helped Lu Qingxue cover up. Who else can do this?"
If it were Shen Zhilan, she would definitely expose Lu Qingxue's scars to protect herself, regardless of her reputation, since she didn't kill her.
"And what does Miss Zhang's matter have to do with my cousin's wife?"
Shen Zhilan took Wei Jing out and whipped her up and down, her eyes darkening.
"No wonder I collided with the Wei Mansion's carriage as soon as I arrived in Beijing yesterday!"
As the head lady of a prominent family in Jiangnan, Shen is not simple, but rather has a very deep mind.
With Shen Zhilan's words, Shen was sure that she was being schemed by Wei Jing, and said lightly: "This Wei Jing has some thoughts, pretending to be like a little white flower, but her intentions are not right."
Such people are not worthy of entering the Xie family.
It was said that the old emperor granted marriages at random, but now it seems that only the old emperor had a keen eye for talent.
Jiang Yuzhu is obviously the rarest and most precious kind of pearl.
Shen Zhilan agreed very much and took Shen's arm and said, "Aunt, Zhilan begs you, please don't arrange a concubine for my cousin. He is even distant and cold to his cousin's wife..."
"Okay, am I that disgusting?"
Concubines and maids are just servants. If her son doesn't like them, Shen can't force them to go to her. Why would she make others dislike her?
The key now is to promote the relationship between Xie Zhao and Jiang Yuzhu and change Xie Zhao's homosexuality.
