After the two of them finished their dinner, Ji Tinglan went to the front yard to handle official business. Only then did Su Li remember to ask, "What position does the prince hold in the court now?"
In the original novel, Ji Tinglan should now be serving as the Shaoqing of the Dali Temple.
However, many things are now different from the original, especially Ji Tinglan's identity, from a poor boy to the prince of the Duke's Mansion.
Xiao Wu replied, "I was originally the Junior Minister of the Dali Temple. Three months ago, I was transferred to the Ministry of Justice and became the Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Justice."
Su Li nodded, almost.
In the original novel, after Ji Tinglan left the Dali Temple, he took up the position of Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Justice, but now the time has been advanced.
"Where's Liu Furong? Do you know how she is doing?"
"Dead."
Xiao Wu explained in detail, "When Madam had her accident, we servants didn't mention Pei Xiuli and Liu Furong to the Crown Prince. It was a few months later when the Crown Prince received a letter from Guangning that he asked us about it, and we told him everything."
Of course, Xiao Wu was not stupid. She naturally avoided Madam's plan and just followed what they had agreed upon. Even though she thought Madam was dead at that time, she was unwilling to betray Madam.
"The prince didn't say anything at the time, but a few days later, Liu Furong was beheaded on multiple charges. Madam, the evidence against Liu Furong seems to be all about her evil deeds, including the kidnapping of the Second Young Master Ji..."
They all speculated that it might have been done by the prince in order to avenge Pei Xiuli.
Su Li was not surprised. Although Ji Tinglan had no feelings for Pei Xiuli and was not as close to her as Pei Cong, she was still his nominal sister and Pei Cheng's daughter. It was normal for him to avenge her.
And with Ji Tinglan's ability, it would be easy for him to find evidence of Liu Furong's guilt.
Of course, Su Li had another guess, that is, Ji Tinglan had learned from Liu Furong the truth that the person she originally wanted to kill was her.
After all, Pei Xiuli and Liu Furong had no grudges against each other, so why would she bribe the bandits to kill her for no reason? This question would arise in the slightest thought.
Of course, maybe he also knew that Pei Xiuli was an accomplice.
Therefore, even if he guessed that Su Li was playing along with him, it was because she was protecting herself. He had no reason to blame her for Pei Xiuli.
After a pause, Su Li instructed Xiao Wu: "Move all my things to the main courtyard later."
Xiaowu was stunned for a moment.
When they first moved into the Zhuangyuan Mansion, the lady and the prince had never lived in the same house, and they thought that the lady and the prince were not on good terms.
It turned out that they were both very good and got along very well, but they just didn't live in the same house.
Of course, that was the master's business, and as servants, they naturally didn't ask too much.
Now that the couple are going to live in the same yard, it means that their relationship is harmonious, so she is naturally happy for them.
Then he quickly replied: "I understand."
"Zhao'er and Chu'er are already on their way back to the capital. Remember to clean the east and west wings tomorrow. Go get anything you need. Just ask your eldest brother for the money..."
There are not many servants in Zhuangyuan Mansion. Although Su Er is the housekeeper of Zhuangyuan Mansion, he still takes charge of the accounting affairs.
"yes."
Xiaowu was suddenly disappointed. Could it be that the lady didn't move to the main house because of the prince, but to make room in the west wing for the eldest daughter?
However, she was very happy when she thought that the eldest son and the eldest daughter were coming back. The mansion would definitely be very lively at that time!
I have to say that Xiao Wu acted extremely quickly. She called Xiao Ye, and in less than an hour, the two of them moved all of Su Li's belongings from the west wing to the main room and tidied it up again.
After Su Li arrived at the main room and looked at the layout and furnishings, he felt very satisfied.
It was getting late, so she asked someone to prepare hot water and took a comfortable bath. When she returned to the bedroom, Ji Tinglan had not returned yet.
"Is the prince still handling official business?"
"Yes."
Su Li raised his eyebrows. Why was he still so busy even though he was no longer working at the Dali Temple?
She simply sent Xiaowu away, picked up a book at random, sat by the window and started reading, while waiting for Ji Tinglan.
It's late at night.
When Ji Tinglan entered the bedroom, he saw Su Li wearing plain underwear and sitting by the window reading a book.
Even without makeup, she is still as beautiful as a fairy in a painting.
The evening breeze blew by, the candlelight flickered, and a strand of her black hair fell on the table unknowingly.
Noticing his arrival, she turned her face slightly and smiled tenderly at him.
Ji Tinglan suddenly felt his throat tighten, and he took a few steps forward to hold her hand: "Ali..."
The full moon hangs high in the night sky.
Inside the house, as two figures gradually overlapped, the hibiscus curtain reflected in the bronze mirror swayed slightly...
