[Chapter 136 Chapter 136 Becoming a Popular Person after Divorce (13)]
Xu Wenzhang, who knew her identity, stood across the alley with his legs pressed against the wall to avoid suspicion.
"Master's wife, don't you think I'm wrong?" When he tilted his head, a few rays of sunlight peeking out from the clouds fell on his face.
The angular side profile is made clearer.
"It is difficult for women to survive in this world. The money I gave her may become her death warrant."
His clear voice was tinged with melancholy, and he lowered his eyes and looked at the shadow under his feet in shock.
Yan Qing walked up to him and patted his arm soothingly: "If you don't fight once, how will you know whether fate will favor you."
She smiled and said, "In my opinion, she made the right choice."
If you don't even have the courage to fight, how can you change the world?
Xu Wenzhang looked up happily, and saw her gaze fixed far away on the alley entrance, with a smile on her face that contained a deep meaning.
The petite person in front of him cast an unusually tall shadow on the ground.
The Yan Qing in his eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of faint holy light.
"Master's wife understands me." He grinned brightly.
In a pair of affectionate peach blossom eyes, the stars are falling and the sun is shining brightly.
At this moment, Xu Wen Zhang felt that she was not a master's wife whom he could only admire from afar due to their seniority, but a confidant who shared the same thoughts with him.
Yan Qing waved his hand to indicate that he should leave, and after walking a few steps, he looked back and said: "Following your heart is good, there is no need for the world to see through it."
The Xu Wen Zhang in the eyes of the world has never been the real Xu Wen Zhang.
Her words sounded like an evaluation and also like a suggestion.
Xu Wenjian watched the corner of her dark-colored clothes disappear into the alley, and silently said, "Follow your heart and you will be good."
Almost everyone said that he was uneducated and mediocre, but she was the only one who told him that he should just follow his heart and not care about what others think.
"Really? I've fooled others, but I couldn't fool my master's wife." He was troubled by his jade-like and golden face.
After returning to the mansion, he walked towards the courtyard humming an unknown tune.
"Do you know you're back?" Xu Shirong, with a dignified look on his face, clenched the cane in his hand.
His mother gave him a worried look.
Xu Wen Zhang chuckled: "Dad, Mom."
Before his smile faded he turned and ran.
"You little bastard! Stop right there!" The Marquis of Lin'an, who seemed very majestic to outsiders, chased after him with his cane in hand.
Xu Wenjian didn't even use his best martial arts skills, and looked back from time to time.
He thought to himself that he was indeed worthy of being his father, as he was so brave even with a lame leg.
-----
Yan Qing went back through the back door, and the good time and the beautiful scenery that accompanied her had also arrived at the mansion.
Daqiang brought his men to report that they had caught a mouse.
The one who was caught was Mei, one of the four second-class maids named Mei, Orchid, Bamboo and Chrysanthemum.
She asked Meijing to bring the man into the house for interrogation.
Ah Mei was kneeling in front, with a look of pretended panic on her face.
Yan Qing sat on the Luohan chair that Liangchen had brought, and raised his chin slightly: "Do you admit your guilt?"
"I don't know what happened." Ah Mei prostrated herself on the ground, "Please tell me, Madam."
He remains calm at this moment, showing that he has a good character.
Yan Dan rested his chin on the armrest with one hand and said with interest: "This lady is not a patient person."
"It's just a matter of dealing with a maid." She paused for a moment and continued, "But if you anger me, I will never let you die easily."
Assuming that she had no evidence, Ah Mei touched her forehead to the ground and said, "I am terrified."
She really had no evidence.
Nothing useful was found on the released pigeons.
When she was caught by An Shi, also known as Da Qiang, the one she was about to release was just to confuse the public.
"I have come up with a new game. Why don't you try it out?"
Yan Qing motioned for her to look up and lifted her chin. "If I asked you to swallow a mouse, and then cut you open and sewed a small snake into your stomach, do you think the snake would eat the organs first or the mouse first?"
Meijing brought up two iron cages that she had prepared in advance, which contained a small white mouse and a half-grown black snake.
Ah Mei shuddered: "Madam, please spare me, I didn't do anything."
"Are you sure you want to quibble?" Yan Qing sneered and raised his hand. Liangchen brought a tray covered with a red cloth.
Ah Mei didn't dare to turn her head, but her drooping pupils trembled.
She was not sure whether she had been exposed long ago, so she did not dare to conclude whether there was an intercepted message in the tray.
Yan Qing knew that her psychological defenses had been broken, and said meaningfully: "The sky is high and the emperor is far away..."
Seeing Ah Mei's body trembling slightly, she waved her hand as if her patience had run out, "Forget it, drag it away."
Meijing grabbed Amei's arm with one hand and picked up two cages with the other.
When she was about to be dragged to the door, the little maid could no longer maintain her previous composure: "Madam, please spare my life. I have something to say."
She looked at the beautiful scenery with a conflicted look, and hesitated to speak.
After Yan Qing dismissed the two people, she said that she was just an inconspicuous palace maid in the laundry department.
"Your Majesty only allows me to pay attention to Madam's daily life." She kowtowed nervously.
There was a hint of disgust in Yan Qing's eyes.
The emperor specially selected an ordinary-looking palace maid to follow him, thinking that this would not arouse suspicion, but he did not expect that she was very good at observing people's words and expressions.
There are subtle differences between people who have been in the palace and the little maids bought from the pawnshop.
The dog emperor's intriguing behavior made it seem as if he had a special liking for the original owner.
He didn't give up even after she got married. Does that mean he loves someone else's wife more?
"You can continue to pass on the message, but what to say and what not to say..." Her brows were frozen.
Ah Mei prostrated herself again: "I will follow Madam's instructions."
When Han Sheng entered the mansion, he heard that the guards in the backyard had captured someone. Out of concern, he immediately came to ask what had happened.
Seeing that Yan Qing was safe and sound, the anxiety in his eyes finally subsided.
"A little maid in the courtyard had to steal a golden hairpin in order to save her seriously ill mother and was discovered." Yan Qing came forward and explained softly.
Han Sheng frowned: "Although it is understandable, it is against the rules. Why not ask the housekeeper to change a new batch for Madam."
Yan Qing shook his head and said with a smile: "That girl is not a bad person by nature."
"Madam is kind-hearted." Han Sheng's serious expression softened.
He was wearing a crimson purple official robe, with relaxed brows and bright eyes, standing proudly like a green pine.
There is a gentleman who has jade-like ears and a hat as bright as stars.
He helped Yan Qing to sit on the soft couch and said, "Your Majesty has graciously allowed me to go to Pingnan to provide disaster relief, and will hold a farewell banquet for me tomorrow."
Holding a farewell banquet specially for the minister is enough to show everyone how much the minister is valued.
"My husband and I are of the same blood. You cannot abandon me." Yan Qing hurriedly grabbed his sleeve.
The man seemed to be used to her occasional closeness. He covered the back of her hand with his big hand to comfort her: "How can I bear to see my wife travel so hard?"
Yan Qing refused, so he tried to persuade her gently for a long time.
Her eyes were full of autumn water, and she tightened her grip on his sleeve, "My husband, please come back safely."
Han Sheng nodded and held her in his arms: "As a husband, I will never break my promise to you, Madam."
He himself knew that disaster relief was a big job and doing it well would be a merit, but doing it poorly would be a sin.
Yan Qing leaned obediently on his shoulder, with the corners of his lips slightly raised.
This guy rarely takes the initiative in such a hug.
She agreed not to go with him, but she did not promise not to go after him on her own.
She was reluctant to let a talented person like Han Sheng die in the disaster relief mission in Pingnan.
