In the next few days, the punishment for Huai Enhou still had not come down.

However, there are many rumors about their house.

Somehow the two memorials from Marquis Huai'en were leaked.

The person who was most talked about outside the palace was Liu Luan.

Some people think that Marquis Huai En saw that the Third Prince was imprisoned and wanted to distance himself from him, so he pushed all the blame onto his daughter. They think that Marquis Huai En's behavior was too cruel and he did not care about the father-daughter relationship that had lasted for so many years.

However, many people also felt that perhaps the memorial from Marquis Huai En was telling the truth, and that the second young lady had indeed done it. After all, the second young lady was extremely talented, proficient in all arts, including music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and the third prince had been in love with her for so many years.

There are both sounds.

After learning the direction of the incident, Marquis Huai En pondered it for a few days, called the steward over, and asked him to go out and spread the news.

The emperor has not yet dealt with him, and it is unknown whether he did not believe his memorial. To be on the safe side, Marquis Huai En prepared to use the voice of public opinion.

The news that Marquis Huai En had people spread was everything that Liu Lu'an had done over the years, and he told everyone clearly one by one.

Soon, the latter's voice surpassed the former's, and Liu Lu'an's name as a talented woman was mentioned again.

At this moment, in a remote courtyard of a temple in the suburbs of Beijing.

Qing He took the food from the back door and hurried back. Seeing Liu Luan writing something with his head down, she felt angry and distressed.

Liu Meng'an noticed Qinghe's emotions, but she ignored her for the time being. She lowered her head and wrote this sentence carefully before looking up.

"What happened?"

Qing He pursed her lips, her eyes reddened, and she choked up as she spoke: "Girl, you have pushed the blame onto yourself and swore that you would never leave, but why does the Marquis still not let you go?"

"Oh? What did father do?"

Qing He sniffed and said aggrievedly, "The Marquis asked the steward to spread the news about your previous actions in the streets. He told everyone about your schemes. He said that you are the one in power in the Marquis' Mansion and he is just following your orders."

After hearing this, Liu Yanan raised her eyebrows, and a smile appeared on her pretty face.

"I didn't expect my father to do better than I thought."

All of these will pave the way for her future.

Hearing this, Qing He was stunned and stopped crying. She asked, "Miss, what do you mean?"

Liu Luan blew on the half-dried ink stain and did not answer the question. Instead, he asked, "What do people say?"

Qing He said, "It's still those words, saying that you are smart. But what's the use of them saying that? They can't save you."

"Besides smart, what else did you say specifically?" Liu Luan asked seriously.

Qing He didn't know why her daughter asked this question. After thinking about it carefully, she said, "Someone just came and said that people in the streets said that you were born into the wrong family. If you were a boy, the mansion would surely prosper. They also said that you are as capable as a man. They said they didn't expect you to be smarter than a man. They said you are amazing."

Liu Luan nodded with satisfaction and said, "Next time, remember to ask someone to find out what people are saying about me."

Although she was still confused, she knew that the girl was always smart, so Qinghe still agreed: "Yes, girl."

Having said that, Qinghe went to cook, and Liu Luan lowered his head to look at what he had written.

The emperor knew what she had done and her position with the third prince, so her ending would never be good. Even if the emperor did not punish her explicitly, her father would push her out. This was also the reason why she made a quick decision and chose to come here. Instead of being sentenced by others, it is better to make her own choice and retreat to advance.

However, just because the emperor knows it doesn’t mean that everyone knows it.

She won't live here forever, so she has to think about herself.

The words she said in the Huai En Marquis's mansion were meant to be spread. She wanted everyone to know that she was not a simple person. From what she had seen before, the effect was quite good. Although many people scolded her and the Third Prince for their crimes, at least nearly half of them admitted that she was powerful.

But she had never imagined that her father, in order to save his life, would go to such an extent to blacken himself, debase himself to the point of being worthless, and even publicize what she had done in the past.

Nowadays, I'm afraid more people admit that she is amazing.

This move of my father is really good.

Thinking of this, Liu Luan lowered his head and continued writing.

Now, everything is ready, except for the "east wind" in our hands.

Half a month later, the Marquis Huai'en's Mansion became the Earl Huai'en's Mansion.

Marquis Huai'en lost his position as the Minister of Personnel, and it became a leisurely job. He did not have to attend court, but only had to be on duty every day. He was so idle that he could not be more idle.

The gap between being a powerful person and becoming an idle person is huge.

After hearing the news, Huai Enhou sat paralyzed in his chair, yet he felt as if everything had been settled.

He initially fantasized about keeping his title and official position with the help of his son-in-law and uncle, but later on he was like a frightened bird and just wanted to survive. He experienced great ups and downs in between.

Now that I hear the result, I think it's pretty good.

However, he was often ridiculed when he walked outside.

But, no matter how much he was ridiculed, at least he was still alive and had a title. Compared with other officials who had close relations with the Third Prince, his ending was the best.

Liu Tangxi also breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the news.

In fact, she didn't care much about what happened to Marquis Huai'en. She was more concerned about the Yin family.

Now it is much better than she imagined.

Emperor You has been in power for so many years, and the administration has been corrupt from the capital to the local areas.

Next, many more officials were dismissed, especially in the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Revenue. It was almost a complete purge, and only low-level officials were left.

Liu Tangxi vaguely heard that Wei Hanzhou was busy in the Ministry of Personnel.

My son is now three months old. It is spring, and it is time to sow seeds.

Seeing that the capital had been stabilized and the emperor said that he would exempt taxes for one year, Wei Laosan and his family were happy and anxious to go back to grow vegetables and farm.

The child was still young, so Liu Tangxi did not go with him. She sent many people over to do the work.

To say that these people were somewhat unhappy before, but now they are all rushing to take it. Everyone knows that the Marquis offended the emperor and lost his official position. But the aunt is now a big celebrity in front of the emperor.

Those who have stayed in the nobles' homes for a long time know best which side to lean towards.

Wei Hanzhou is very busy now. He leaves before dawn and comes back after dark.

Except for the month when she was in confinement, he didn't have a single day of rest.

In the evening, after Wei Hanzhou came back, he said to Liu Tangxi: "My wife, pack your things. We may have to go back to the capital soon."

"Hmm?" Liu Tangxi was puzzled.

"Well, my husband might get a promotion, so we need to move."

Liu Tangxi's eyes lit up and he asked, "What position is it? What rank?"

"Third rank, Minister of Personnel."

Upon hearing this level, Liu Tangxi was so surprised that he didn't know what to say.

In fact, Wei Hanzhou is the male protagonist in the book, right?

In fact, the aura of the protagonist has now shifted to him, right?

From the sixth rank to the third rank, it is not just a change of a few numbers, but decades of hard work.

But if you think about it carefully, the Ministry of Personnel was previously controlled by the Third Prince. In order to fight with the Crown Prince, everything was not clean, and it went through a big purge. In fact, it was not just the Ministry of Personnel. There were few good people in the entire Dali under the leadership of a tyrant like Emperor You.

Therefore, the emperor is in need of people at this time.

A new emperor appoints his own ministers.

Those who stand in the right position or those who are neutral will definitely be reused.

Wei Hanzhou had a good vision and was in the right position from the beginning to the end. Moreover, he was a genuine top scholar, so not only was he not pedantic like a scholar, he was also extremely intelligent.

In the past few months, his talent has suddenly been revealed in front of everyone.

Most of the emperor's subordinates are military generals, and the only civil official is Zheng Xiang. However, Zheng Xiang is old.

The emperor originally wanted to make important use of Wei Hanzhou.

However, he didn't expect Wei Hanzhou to be better than he thought.

When Emperor You was in power, he only thought that this young man was talented and very smart. But now, in the past few months, he has gradually discovered that Wei Hanzhou is a very capable person. He just handed the Ministry of Personnel to him before, asking him to stabilize the situation first.

However, when he took action to rectify the situation, he found that the Ministry of Personnel was handled very well by Wei Hanzhou. Looking at the others, Wei Hanzhou's strength was clearly displayed in front of everyone.

Therefore, Wei Hanzhou was also a powerful person in the past, but his power could not be displayed under the leadership of a tyrant like Emperor You.

The emperor was very happy about this.

And Wei Hanzhou, a third-rank official, had a legitimate reason to come, which made everyone convinced.

Liu Tangxi remembered that in the book, Wei Hanzhou seemed to have become a minister of some kind, perhaps in the Ministry of Revenue?

I didn't expect that not only is he in the right position now, but he is still holding the same position as in his previous life.

"You can, Wei Goudan."

Liu Tangxi felt that from today on she had to get to know him again.

Upon hearing this name, Wei Hanzhou glanced at Liu Tangxi lightly. However, he was already used to her calling him by this name from time to time.

but--

"Cluck"

"Cluck"

Laughter came from the crib nearby.

Liu Tangxi's attention suddenly shifted to her son.

Seeing his son waving his chubby hands and laughing, Liu Tangxi said in surprise: "Oh, my son actually laughed. This is the first time I heard him laugh."

As her son grew up, he wasn't so ugly anymore. On the contrary, he was quite handsome.

However, he always has a stern face, rarely smiles, and rarely makes any sound.

That face looked very much like Wei Hanzhou, and even more so when he wasn't smiling. It was like they were carved from the same mold, except that this was a smaller version of Wei Hanzhou.

Liu Tangxi walked over quickly, grabbed her son's hand, and said with a smile: "You are smiling, baby, do you feel happy? Do you think your father's name is nice?"

Hearing this, Wei Shuchen started to chuckle again.

Noticing Wei Hanzhou approaching, Liu Tangxi looked up at him and said, "You look so unhappy with your face. Obviously, this name is very nice. Look, your son is smiling."

Wei Hanzhou glanced at Liu Tangxi and said calmly, "Since Shuchen thinks it sounds nice, then give it to him."

However, before he could finish his words, Liu Tangxi rejected it.

"How can that be? This name is not suitable for such a lovely son of mine."

Wei Hanzhou: ...

If you are not worthy of my son, then you are worthy of me?

"Right, Shuchen? We don't call ourselves that. This is our father's name. You should just call us Baobao, mother's little baby."

Wei Hanzhou suddenly said, "A loving mother often spoils her children."

Liu Tangxi retorted: "You are the only one who has many crooked ideas. I love you the most, but I have never seen you grow crooked."

As he spoke, Liu Tangxi started playing with his son.

Seeing her son laugh, she couldn't help laughing too.

"We're not called Goudan, are we, son?"

Wei Shuchen couldn't speak, but when he saw his mother smiling at him, he also smiled.

"This name doesn't sound nice, so we won't call it that."

Wei Shuchen laughed again.

Wei Hanzhou glanced at Liu Tangxi and said nothing.

After a while, Liu Tangxi sat on the couch and fed her son milk.

Wei Hanzhou looked at the time and said, "It's getting late, it's time to go to bed."

Then, the nanny pushed Wei Shuchen's small bed to the next room.

Liu Tangxi took her clean clothes and went inside to take a bath.

After coming out, his son was no longer in front of him, and Liu Tangxi remembered what they had just talked about.

"Where did our family move to after you got promoted?"

"Qingzheng Street."

Hearing the name, Liu Tangxi nodded.

Qingzheng Street was where high-ranking officials of the Dali Dynasty lived. Most of the houses of nobles were passed down from their ancestors and were found in various places in the capital. However, most of the officials on this street climbed up the ladder on their own, or some were sons of nobles who were given mansions by the emperor after they achieved high positions.

If nothing else, this place is closer to the Earl's Palace than before.

"Is the place big?" Liu Tangxi asked.

"It's big. It has two more side yards than the previous house, and the small garden is also bigger."

"Well, I'll have someone clean it up tomorrow."

After the two of them turned off the lights and lay down on the bed, Wei Hanzhou immediately came over.

When he saw his wife feeding his son just now, Wei Hanzhou felt his eyes were greedy and his heart was warmed. Moreover, since giving birth to the child, his wife's body has become softer and it is very comfortable to hold her.

Liu Tangxi felt that her body was much more sensitive than before. Before Wei Hanzhou could do anything, she was about to turn into a pool of spring water.

The two of them were more harmonious than before.

When the passion reached its peak, Wei Hanzhou leaned over to Liu Tangxi's ear and asked, "Is your husband's name not nice?"

Feeling the heat beside his ears, Liu Tangxi shuddered and gasped, "No..."

Before she could finish her words, she felt someone kiss her earlobe.

"Yes, that sounds wonderful."

Liu Tangxi thought, this bastard is just being stubborn, he obviously likes his nickname very much.

"Goudan, Goudan, Goudan!" Liu Tangxi called out three times in a row.

Then she found that Wei Hanzhou seemed even more excited.

The next morning, looking at the marks on her neck, Liu Tangxi thought, he was clearly a bastard!

After dinner, Liu Tangxi started to get busy again.

Now that the heavy burden on her mind has been lifted and there is nothing that can threaten her life, Liu Tangxi feels much more at ease and is not so restrained in doing things.

When the shopkeeper came to her and asked her if she wanted to open a branch, Liu Tangxi agreed immediately.

Due to the turmoil in the court, many officials were dismissed, and the land became much cheaper.

Liu Tangxi took the opportunity to buy hundreds of acres of fertile land and planted hawthorns on it.

This time, she didn't have to go to the hawthorn field to touch the trees. She could just touch the transplanted saplings when planting the hawthorns.

Since we are going to open a branch, it is impossible to only supply hawthorn from Beijing.

It's not so difficult to get to the cities near the capital, but transportation is too troublesome in the south.

Liu Tangxi thought about it, bought a lot of saplings, and went to several wealthy counties to buy a few farms to grow hawthorns.

A few days later, Wei Hanzhou's transfer order came down.

Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, third rank.
