The east was white, and a ray of bright golden light jumped out from behind the thick clouds, as if tearing a hole in the entire cloud and illuminating the clouds as if they were transparent.
Inside the gate of Zhang's Mansion, the old and young in the second and third bedrooms stood in the yard, with Gu as the first one staring at Li Luansong eagerly. The other party was very strong, and they were firing at each other.
"Shen Que, you are a bitch of a business woman. You don't uphold women's ethics and have secret relationships with foreign men."
"You should have been dipped in a pig cage a long time ago. Fortunately, my son treats you like a guest."
"You are just like your humble parents..."
"That's enough for you." Li Luansong yelled.
He was injured, and he didn't want to talk to her. Who knew that Mrs. Gu would push her further and scold her more and more unpleasantly, and even bring her parents with her. Shen really didn't deserve to be treated so badly by her.
"You should be more virtuous with that old mouth of yours. It has already brought misfortune to your children and grandchildren's family, why are you still refusing to repent?"
"What did you say...you said such crazy words, you..." Mrs. Gu was so angry that she poked the ground with her walking stick, "Come here, get her."
Li Luansong ignored him and walked straight in, only to be stopped by a boy. The boy looked timidly at her and then at Gu. Li Luansong kicked him away and pointed at Gu. road:
"Want to know what I went to do?" Li Luansong looked at Song Qingyue, "Ask her, what did she go to do?"
Song Qingyue didn't say anything, she lowered her head and timidly pulled Master Zhang's sleeves and hid behind him.
"You won't tell? Okay, if you don't tell me, I'll tell you for you. You paid a high price to buy test questions for your brother, and when you were cheated, you went to the person who sold you the test questions to ask for money, but you didn't get it back." Li Luansong sneered. With a loud voice, he said to Mr. Gu: "Don't even think about it. If she hadn't bought fake test questions, how could your precious son Zhang Chengru be detained?"
"By the way, there's more." He approached Mrs. Gu, "The money she used to buy exam questions was taken from your private bank, you didn't know it yet."
Gu staggered, hammered her walking stick and shouted, "Song Qingyue, you..."
"What can I give you? If I were you, I would send her to the government to be punished." Li Luansong walked leisurely.
When Song Qingyue heard this, she hurriedly stood up and knelt at Gu's feet: "No, no, no, mother, don't send her to the government. I...I can't help it."
She wiped away her tears and said sadly: "Mother, now I understand why you clearly don't like Shen Que, but you still marry her and let her run the family. That's because the huge Zhang family has already lost all its wealth. ah."
"If I had known this was a trap, I wouldn't have taken over the stewardship. Whoever wants it wants it. I'm not a businesswoman. How can I have the money to supplement it? Who would have known that such a big family fortune as Zhang's family would be rich and valuable already?" I am caught in the external corruption, mother, it was you who tricked me first..."
"Shut up." Mrs. Gu scolded Song Qingyue, "We'll talk about you later."
Now that what was hidden in the old lady's heart was revealed by Li Luansong, she must have become angry. She raised her walking stick and pointed at Li Luansong and said, "You are a married man, and you have stayed out all night to have a private meeting with an outsider and you are still trying to make excuses."
"Bah." Li Luansong slapped her walking stick away, "Who told you that I had a secret meeting with my foreign husband? It must be the slaves you sent there. Where are they? Why didn't they come back to you?"
He sneered: "I'm afraid you are being detained by the patrol camp right now. You are making trouble at night, disrupting order, and making people panic. You'd better think carefully about how you will explain to the adults in the patrol camp when they turn you in. Bar."
The old lady staggered and almost lost her balance.
"Don't get excited yet, there's more." Li Luansong took advantage of the victory and pursued, "I guess your precious son Zhang Chengru has no face to tell you. On the night of the lotus banquet, you were so hurt that Zhou Xueying broke into the King of Jin's palace secretly with the intention of seducing him. He was exposed and rebuked on the spot, and your precious Zhang Chengru was scolded as well. Why, no one told you?"
"That son of yours is really not a good person." Li Luansong clicked his tongue twice, "The imperial examination incident happened today and His Majesty blamed him. He tried his best to distance himself and sold out His Highness the King of Jin who recommended him against all opinions. Do you think he is Repaying kindness with hatred, or being ungrateful? That was the person who helped him, and that was His Majesty's darling. Guess what, His Majesty almost died of anger. He took off his black gauze hat on the spot and decreed that he would not be used again in this life. .”
He paused, glanced at everyone, and looked at Mrs. Gu: "You are so anxious, and you still have the time to eat carrots and not worry..."
"Shen Que, shut up." Mrs. Gu was trembling with anger, with a livid face, "Don't be so presumptuous here. He, Zhang Chengru, is your husband. If he can't get better, you can't get better either. Today, I'll take care of it first. Come on, please, get this thief woman down for me."
When the servant next to him saw how angry Gu was, he hurriedly stepped forward to take down Li Luansong, but Li Luansong grabbed the one with the head three times:
"Okay, you forced me to do it, don't blame me for not giving you face."
He blew a long whistle in the direction of Lemon Fragrance Pavilion, and the sound penetrated the clouds and floated in the air. Immediately, the sonorous and powerful sound of uniform footsteps was heard.
All the servants, maids, servants, and maids of Ningxiang Pavilion were all dispatched, holding various things in their hands and immediately lined up to block Li Luansong behind them.
Looking at them again, all of them had angry eyes, and the biceps, tendons, and the cook had bulging veins. It looked like they had been injured several times, and their brains would explode after just one shovel.
Li Luansong had nothing to do on weekdays, and he trained these people as his soldiers. Not only did they work in a united and friendly manner, and were quick and capable, but they were also effortless in performing kung fu. They were absolutely cooperative and well-trained. Not to mention the idle servants and servants, even if the government soldiers come, they may not be able to get an advantage.
This is called a strong general with no weak soldiers.
"Madam." Zelan protected him, "Let's go and leave this place to them."
"Are you rebelling?" Gu didn't dare to move rashly and stood there poking at the ground.
"Old lady, wake up." Li Luansong turned around and shouted, "I am paying these people their salaries now. They are serious people who respect me, and their salaries are three times what you gave them. "
"Oh, by the way, you guys." He looked around at the servants in the Zhang Mansion, "If you want to come over, go to Zelan and sign up. Think about it. Same job, three times the salary, three times the salary. "
After a group of servants who were waiting and watching eagerly, Li Luansong walked away, leaving only the servants of the Zhang family who were exchanging thoughts quietly with their eyes and the young Zhang family who were dumbfounded and blushing.

On the other side, Shen Que was not so lucky.
The lights in Prince Jin's Mansion were brightly lit, and all the servants were kneeling on the floor. The Empress dozed off with dark circles under her eyes, finally expecting her "son" to come back.
"Song'er." The empress yelled, waking up everyone lying on the ground. "You haven't returned home all night. Don't tell me that you are sleepwalking or drinking with your buddies."
First, he blocked her mouth with words. There is no better way to know a child than a mother.
Shen Que was a little unsure of the Queen's mood for a moment, thinking that she would be furious, but it didn't look like it, and her expression clearly didn't look like joy. Of course, staying up all night was nothing to be happy about.
"My son..." Shen Que racked his brains to make up lies, but Naihe was really not good at it, and finally stuttered: "My son can't sleep, so... just..."
"Can't sleep? Hahahaha." The Empress was not sleepy at all. "My son actually has trouble falling asleep sometimes. You are someone who sleeps wherever you go. You sleep in school, in the morning, and write. You used to wish you could see him. Close your eyes and go to sleep as soon as you get to your parents."
"I know that my son has grown up now, has changed his mind and is now sensible." The Queen Empress smiled meaningfully, "Don't talk nonsense with me. Tell me, who or what family's young lady actually let me do this?" You are so distracted."
Shen Que: ...Oh, I thought of this.
Seeing his eyes widened with a surprised expression, the Queen felt that she had guessed correctly:
"Don't look at me like that. It's time for men to get married and women to get married. There's nothing to be embarrassed about. Tell me which girl."
"No." Shen Que hesitated. You can't make this up. "She's not a girl."
"What, it's not a girl." The Empress glanced at Aunt Huang beside her, and said patiently: "It's not a girl, could it be someone's wife? Madam, it's not impossible. At worst, your father can intervene. Nowadays, being divorced is nothing new."
"Ah?" The more Shen Que listened, the more outrageous he felt. He hurriedly waved his hands and said, "No, no."
The queen is anxious, no way.
I looked at Nanny Huang again and caught a glimpse of May.
"May, tell me."
Wuyue, whose name was called, knelt down with a snap, "I can't say that, please punish the Queen."
Shen Que: ...What do you mean you can't say it? You should say no.
"You..." The queen is a kind person and is reluctant to really punish them. They are all the people who accompany her son since they were young, just like her own children.
When he was angry, he saw Eunuch Shi coming in with a tea cup to change the tea, and said: "Okay, I can't bear to beat you because of you, okay, I will beat Eunuch Shi."
"Pa" the tea cup fell to the ground, broken porcelain and boiling water spilled all over the floor. Father-in-law hurriedly knelt down and apologized: "It's all my fault, my wife wants to beat me, old slave..."
"Eunuch Shi, tell me who your Highness went up to see last night. If you don't tell me, you will beat him." Aunt Huang spoke for the Queen.
"Ah." Eunuch Shi looked at his wife and then at Shen Que. When he saw Shen Que staring at him, he swallowed hard and said, "Then, please be gentle, my wife. I still have to serve His Highness. Your Highness is not here." The old slave is not happy serving him, you..."
"Okay, shut up." The Empress had nothing to do and said angrily: "Both of you are very loyal, and you kept everything secret, then... I..."
"Mother." Shen Que lifted his robe and knelt down, kowtowed, and said with some fearlessness: "Son, what I see is... a man."
The sky, the earth, I am really afraid of what will happen. It is like a bolt from the blue, five thunders hitting the top, and the scalp will explode...
God knows how the Queen fainted and woke up again that day.
It wasn't until someone from the palace passed down an imperial edict that Your Majesty urgently summoned His Highness King Jin that the matter was temporarily shelved.
Shen Que was freed and escorted the weak queen back to the palace. His heart was full of doubts and self-blame. Isn't it normal to meet a man? Why did his mother become so angry? What is there to be angry about?
In the main hall of Prince Jin's Mansion, the father-in-law of May and Shi knelt on the ground and did not get up for a long time.
