Bai Ji paused after hearing this, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, "Madam, are you suspicious of Master Shen's life experience?"
Fang Xu nodded, looked back at Shen's mother's back, and said softly, "How could a mother treat her own son like this? Even a country woman who doesn't understand the rules would never openly humiliate her son."
Bai Ji understood and responded in a low voice, "Madam, don't worry, I know what I'm doing."
Fang Xu sighed softly, his eyes moved slightly, "Su Zi, please come to Chengyuan, Madam."
"Yes." Su Zi agreed in a low voice and helped Fang Xu out of the carriage.
Liu Fanyin got the news and hurried to Chengyuan without any hesitation.
Fang Xu sat alone at the table, his eyelids half drooped, staring at the refreshments on the table.
As soon as Liu Fanyin entered the room, she saw Fang Xu in a daze and called out in a low voice, "Mother, please call me."
Hearing Liu Fanyin's voice, Fang Xu suddenly came back to his senses, waved to her, and looked at her with a little smile in his eyes, "Here? Come and sit down."
Liu Fanyin sat across from her very obediently, with her hands hanging on her knees, and asked in a low voice, "Does mother have something to tell her daughter-in-law?"
Fang Xu was silent, his eyes fell on her beautiful little face, and he said softly, "Because of me, you have been wronged, so I naturally want to call you over."
"Don't take the rumors outside to heart. Give me a day and I will be able to find out who did it."
Hearing this, Liu Fanyin was stunned for a moment, then laughed helplessly, "It's just a few rumors spread by outsiders. My daughter-in-law didn't take it seriously, so why should my mother take it to heart?"
"But it will have an impact on your reputation after all..."
"My daughter-in-law is now a wife, and the word reputation can no longer weigh me down. This is what my mother taught me." Liu Fanyin smiled lightly, unconsciously showing her trust in the other party, "Moreover, my daughter-in-law knows in her heart that her mother will never Let me be humiliated for nothing, so why should I worry?"
"Even if mother does not intervene in this matter, Master Shen will never ignore it. My daughter-in-law believes in you in her heart."
Fang Xu opened his mouth, but no words came out.
Liu Fanyin covered her lips and chuckled, no longer showing the cowardice she had before, "Mother does not have to be afraid of her daughter-in-law being sad. Things are different now. Those pedantic things can no longer hold me back."
Fang Xu was silent for a long time, then lowered his head and chuckled, saying in a low voice, "I'm very pleased that you can develop the temperament you have now."
Liu Fanyin lowered his head slightly, his face showing embarrassment after being praised.
-
It was night, the stars were shining brightly, and the dancing candlelight reflected on the window, adding a bit of warmth.
Shen Ji sat at the table, his brows furrowed and his fingertips pinching the bridge of his nose again and again. It was not difficult to see his annoyance.
"Sir!" Wen Mo pushed open the door and rushed to Shen Ji, handing over an envelope. "I just found this in the yard. It should be a reply from an informant."
Hearing this, Shen Ji raised his hand to take it, carefully tore open the envelope, took out the letter paper, and looked at it.
——No need to check carefully, it is the writing of King Runan.
Wen Mo poked his head and read the letter with his master. The further he read, the more his brows furrowed. "Sir... what does it mean that there is no need to check carefully?"
Shen Ji's expression remained unchanged, but the hand holding the letter was trembling slightly, "What a king of Runan, but he doesn't even bother to hide, and doesn't even need to look closely. How is he so confident that I can't touch him?"
Wen Mo was startled and murmured, "Why is he so arrogant? He doesn't take us seriously!"
Shen Ji calmed down and handed the letter to the candle. Seeing the letter being swallowed up by the fire, his eyes became colder and colder, "I'm just scheming, but I accidentally wanted to bring Yongcheng Houfu with me. Since he is deliberately disgusting me, I won't do it either." You might as well have some fun with him."
The letter was burned, and the candlelight fell on his handsome face, showing no expression.
Wen Mo was so frightened that he swallowed his saliva. He looked at his husband angrily and cursed in his heart.
The gentleman was very angry.
This King of Runan is living a good life, why does he want to jump on Mr.'s minefield? -
next day
It was still dark, and many people appeared in the corridor of the palace. In addition to the palace people, they were the officials who came to attend the morning court.
Shen Ji walked alone under the red wall, his temperament was cold and indifferent, and the smile of the past was no longer on his face.
Anyone could tell that he was not in a good mood. The officials all tacitly agreed to give up a piece of open space and wanted him to be left alone. However, a few blind people rushed to shoot him.
"Hey, isn't this Mr. Shen? He looks good."
"With the beautiful lady in your arms, Lord Shen will naturally feel like a spring breeze!"
"I didn't expect that Mr. Shen is so tasteful that he is still thinking about teenage beauties when he is over 28 years old."
Shen Ji stopped, slowly looked sideways at a few people, and remembered their identities.
Although these people do not have high official positions, they have an unusual relationship with Fuyuan General Cen Zhenjiang. It is not an exaggeration to call them Huaiwang Party members.
Normally, these people would walk around him, but today they suddenly got into trouble, presumably because of Cen Zhenjiang's instructions.
Several people were staring at him like this, and the ridicule on their faces was a bit unbearable.
Just when several people were panicking, Shen Ji, who had a dead look just now, suddenly laughed and said in a light tone, "Do you know the consequences of opposing me?"
Several people were stunned and looked at each other.
Shen Ji smiled with a calm expression on his face, "I hope if something happens, your master can save your lives."
After saying this, Shen Ji ignored the others and walked forward slowly.
A few people were confused for a moment. You looked at me and I looked at you. Just when they were confused, they saw Lu Qingfeng slowly walking by.
Seeing that there was no reaction from the few people, Lu Qingfeng nodded to them and smiled politely, "Everyone, I wish you good luck."
As soon as Lu Qingfeng's words came out, several people were even more confused. For some reason, a bad premonition lingered in their hearts for a long time.
It wasn't until the morning session that they understood where the premonition came from.
"I want to accuse the military general Chen Zhibin of doting on his concubines and killing his wife. He behaves in a romantic way. The red flag does not fall down at home and the colorful flags flutter outside."
"I want to report that Liu Pingchang, the envoy of Xuanfu, withheld disaster relief funds and enriched his own pockets. He is unkind as an official and disloyal to his ministers."
"I also want to expose the left minister Wang Yao for accepting bribes and selling his official position privately, involving more than 600,000 yuan in silver."
The further you go, the greater your official position, and the more serious your crimes.
Shen Ji's back was straight, and his tone was neither fast nor slow, and his voice was loud and clear.
After a long while, the sound of gasping could be heard in the hall.
Several people were completely dumbfounded and couldn't even make a single expression.
Yuan Chen was stunned and blinked, completely confused as to where Shen Ji's resentment came from.
Good Shen Qing, why did he suddenly go crazy?
Xie Li and Lu Qingfeng looked at each other and saw surprise in each other's eyes.
Shen Ji looked calm. From the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Cen Zhenjiang, whose jaw dropped in shock, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly.
Young man, are you going to fight with me?
Do you know that my informants are all over the world?
