Chapter 020: You suspect I have an affair?

He An regretted it, looking at the deep and shallow marks on her body, he felt pity. But things have already happened, maybe this is good for both of them, there is no need to be suspicious of each other.

If she just did her best to be the Prime Minister's wife, he could let go of everything and not pursue the matter any further.

The moment he picked up Ruan Qinghuan, he looked at the bloodstains on the bed sheet and frowned, "Thank you for your hard work, Madam."

Ruan Qinghuan bit her lip. What kind of weirdo is this guy? How could he say these words at this time?

Jiang Ming passed the message through the window, and He An said irritably, "Everything for today has been postponed."

"This...I'm afraid it won't work." Jiang Ming looked embarrassed.

"Speak." He'an thought that the prince had urgently summoned him for something, but Jiang Ming said that it was someone from Jingzhao Prefecture.

"The Ministry of Justice has always been in charge of the affairs of Jingzhao Prefecture. Let them go to the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice."

Jiang Ming: "Sir...you should come out later."

"Why are you so hesitant? If you have something to fart to say, hurry up and say it, or get out of here."

Jiang Ming was in a difficult situation, but if he delayed any further, the master was afraid that he would be in big trouble, so he had to say: "Jingzhao Prefecture sent someone to deliver a letter, asking you to go and pick up my brother-in-law."

"What?" Ruan Qinghuan stood up from the bathtub upon hearing it, and without thinking too much, he got up to change his clothes.

He'an hurriedly followed him out.

**

"Oh my! The flood has really washed away the Dragon King Temple. Family members don't recognize each other as family." The prefect of Jingzhao smiled and said sweet words, trying to coax the giant Buddha away for the whole morning, but he couldn't get rid of it.

There is no other way but to send someone to invite the Prime Minister.

After all, this was a good job that General Ji had thrown to him. If he made such a fuss, he would be afraid that he would not be able to report back.

Ruan Qingzhou sat on the chair with a cold face: "Lord Wang, you are always catching an adulterer. May I ask, which lady am I having an affair with?"

"There must be some misunderstanding here, something wrong, something wrong."

Ruan Qingzhou said calmly: "In that case, I will sit here and wait for Lord Wang to correct the chaos and clear my name."

"This……"

Lord Wang was sweating profusely. He had no choice but to ask someone to invite Ji Lingchuan again. Otherwise, when Lord Chengxiang asked about it, he would not be able to answer.

In the carriage here, He An no longer had the arrogant look he had last night. Ruan Qinghuan glared at him and he remained silent.

"So, my brother was imprisoned in Jingzhao Prefecture because of you?"

"Madam, I was drunk last night. This is Ji Lingchuan's fault. It was his negligence that led to this."

"So you were threatening and intimidating me yesterday because you suspected that I had an affair?"

He An cleared his throat and said, "Not entirely. I just feel that you always want to escape from me, and I am a little angry."

Ruan Qinghuan hadn't slept all night, hadn't eaten breakfast, and was very angry, so he felt dizzy.

The priority right now is to bring Qingzhou back, and we will slowly settle the remaining bills later.

Finally arriving at Jingzhao Prefecture, Ruan Qinghuan almost fell off the car, but fortunately He An hugged her: "Madam, be careful."

Seeing that his sister looked unhappy and had red eyes, Ruan Qingzhou knew that it must be because of what happened last night. He looked at He An angrily, as if he wanted to fight.

He An smiled and walked forward to pat his shoulder: "Qingzhou, now that you are back, why don't you come to the Xiangfu and have a visit? Your sister misses you."

"Brother-in-law, what you said, if I hadn't done this, I really wouldn't know who could have framed and slandered my sister. That Ji Lingchuan, he was the one who had Jingzhao Prefecture arrest me."

Ruan Qinghuan was relieved to see that his brother was fine: "How are you after being locked up all night?"

Although Ruan Qingzhou did not suffer much, he could not just let the matter go: "I am fine, but this matter must be investigated thoroughly. Who spread the rumor and what was their intention?"

He got a general idea of ​​what happened from the prefect, and it was clear that someone had framed him.

He An called the prefect and asked, "Have you found out the source of the rumor?"

The prefect looked embarrassed, neither nodding nor shaking his head, which showed that something was fishy.

Seeing that the prefect wanted to take He'an to talk in private, Ruan Qingzhou refused to do it: "Master Wang, I am the person involved. If you have anything to say, shouldn't you say it in front of me?"

He An heard this and said, "Master Wang, just tell me what you have found out."

Lord Wang hesitated several times, but he was in a dilemma and could only reply, "This rumor came from the Prime Minister's residence."

He An: “…”

Ruan Qinghuan: “…”

Ruan Qingzhou laughed out of anger: "Brother-in-law, this drama is not directed and performed by you, right? I heard that you brought a girl into the mansion on the night of your wedding. Are you trying to use this opportunity to divorce my sister?"

Ruan Qingzhou became angrier and angrier, and was about to take action, but was stopped by Ruan Qinghuan: "It can't be him."

He An felt relieved: "I really didn't know about this."

Ruan Qinghuan didn't want to defend him: "Just because you didn't do it doesn't mean you don't know who's behind it."

After saying this, he took his brother and left Jingzhao Prefecture.

While sitting in the carriage waiting for He'an, Shen Qingzhou was so angry that he blew his beard and glared: "Sister, are you just going to let others bully you like this?"

"Of course not."

"Then why don't you let me report it to the authorities? I've filed a case in Jingzhao Prefecture, and they'll investigate it. Then they'll make the person who spread the rumors and slander pay the price."

Shen Qinghuan has already guessed who was plotting against her. Liu Yueru is indeed not a good person, but her brother is a brave and fierce general. If the matter gets out of hand, the reputation of the Liu family will be ruined.

The emperor, who had just conferred the title of loyalty and bravery on the Liu family, certainly did not want to see this scene.

"Don't make a big deal out of it. Don't let me not pursue it. But you can't use the government to do it. Do you understand?"

"Humph, General Liu Jiang is a hero of Dongzhao, how could he have such a sister?" Ruan Qingzhou sighed: "In the final analysis, He An is still ignorant and attracts bees and butterflies."

The more he spoke, the angrier he became: "If it weren't for the constant thunderstorms in the south of the Yangtze River, which delayed the voyage, I would have been able to return before you got married, and I would have definitely not let you marry He'an."

Ruan Qingzhou had a deep grudge against his brother-in-law. After his sister came of age, he was engaged but he delayed marrying her for two years. In order to get close to the He family, his father refused to cancel the engagement no matter what.

Ruan Qingzhou wanted to take his sister to Jiangnan more than once. He thought about the first-rank prime minister and the noble family. Whoever he wanted to marry could marry him. His sister would not suffer that kind of hardship.

But my sister couldn't let go of my mother, and it was not realistic to take her with her, so time and again, the situation has become what it is today.

Ruan Qingzhou felt upset: "Is he good to you?"

"It's fine." Ruan Qinghuan didn't want to talk about these things and swallowed the troubles in his heart.

As soon as Ji Lingchuan arrived at Jingzhao Prefecture, he was punched by He An: "I asked you to check, who asked you to notify Jingzhao Prefecture to arrest someone?"

"If we don't arrest people, how can we investigate?"

Ji Lingchuan was bewildered by the beating and asked Lord Wang: "What happened? Did you catch the wrong person?"

Lord Wang said, "It's not just that they arrested the wrong person, it's a complete mistake. The person living in the courtyard of Osmanthus Alley is the brother of the Prime Minister's wife."

"What?" Ji Lingchuan chuckled twice: "It can't be... such a coincidence."
