When Zhong Xuran left the inn the next day, he came to say goodbye. Xu Shichu had no intention of making friends with officials, so he just met him by chance and did not take it to heart.
Little did she know that after Zhong Xuran returned to Beijing to handle the case, he would go to the Prime Minister's Mansion with gifts to express his gratitude.
It happened that on this day, Luo Yaqing returned to her parents' home because of a quarrel with Zhou Wencun, so she met Zhong Xuran at the door.
Luo Yaqing, who had just gotten off the carriage, saw a tall man with a tall, tall figure and handsome appearance being respectfully welcomed into the house by the housekeeper, and asked the concierge: "Who is that person who just entered?"
She was inexplicably concerned.
The porter replied: "That is Mr. Zhong, the prison supervisor in Beijing. He came here specifically to visit you today."
"Master Zhong?" Luo Yaqing muttered these three words in a low voice. She didn't know why, but she felt a sense of frustration and irritation in her heart, with unknown anger. She frowned, "What's the matter with him coming to visit my father?" ?”
"I don't know," the concierge replied.
Luo Yaqing ignored him and walked into the house.
"Xiaguan has taken the liberty to come to the door, please forgive Mr. Luo." Zhong Xuran said to Luo Changqing, "Xiaguan was injured when handling a case in other places a few days ago. He happened to meet Mrs. Luo at the inn. Mrs. Luo gave Xia the medicine for the injury. Official, please allow me to return to the capital safely and soundly, and I should pay you a visit to express my gratitude."
Zhong Xuran was an upright person and was always impatient with twists and turns, so he directly told Luo Changqing the reason for coming to the door.
Luo Changqing was a little surprised. Xu Shichu seemed to have disappeared after leaving the capital. He never thought about sending a message back to the Prime Minister's Mansion, so he had no idea that Xu Shichu had met Zhong Xuran at the inn.
"It's just a small effort. I guess my wife doesn't take this matter to heart. Master Zhong doesn't need to come here to express his gratitude in such a grand way." Luo Changqing said calmly.
"Mrs. Luo means well, but I can't take her kindness for granted. After all, without Mrs. Luo's medicine, I might have lost half my life when I returned to Beijing, or even left hidden dangers. How could I be like now?" So healthy?
If Mrs. Luo comes back, I would like to express my gratitude to her in person. Last time at the inn, I had no conditions to express my gratitude. Now that I have returned to Beijing, I can only send some small thank you gifts. I don’t know that it is not convenient for me to give them to Luo in person. lady? "
Zhong Xuran said openly.
Luo Changqing was stunned for a moment before replying: "My wife is still traveling abroad and has not returned to Beijing."
Zhong Xuran didn't expect that Xu Shichu didn't come back, but he didn't think too much about it. He just said to Luo Changqing: "This is really unfortunate. When Mrs. Luo comes back, please Luo Xiang convey to her the thanks of the official and these Thank you."
The thank you gift was given to Xu Shichu. Luo Changqing couldn't help her refuse, so she nodded in agreement.
Seeing that Zhong Xuran looked talented and showed maturity and stability in his words, Luo Changqing had a good impression of this young official.
After talking about Xu Shichu's story, he talked to Zhong Xuran about the cases in the Prison Department. Investigation of cases was Zhong Xuran's strength, and Luo Changqing was a sensible and sensible person, so the two of them chatted unexpectedly. It's speculation. When it comes to certain opinions, they are surprisingly consistent.
Luo Changqing admired Zhong Xuran even more, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. If he had a daughter, wouldn't it be a good idea to recruit him as his son-in-law?
He didn't know that his dream came true in his previous life, and Zhong Xuran really became his son-in-law, but he just missed it in this life.
Because they were able to chat, when Zhong Xuran was leaving, he politely sent her to the door of the study.
Luo Yaqing happened to come over from her sister-in-law to find her father, and she met Zhong Xuran who came out. When she saw Zhong Xuran's appearance, she felt that she had seen him somewhere before, so she stared at him.
As soon as Zhong Xuran saw that the person who came was a young woman, he quickly lowered his head and closed his eyes, politely not looking at her again, then said goodbye to Luo Changqing and left.
"Father, that man is Mr. Zhong? What kind of official is he? He's quite arrogant. Please send him off personally!" Luo Yaqing saw that the man didn't even look at her, and stayed away as if As if I dislike myself, I feel very uncomfortable inside.
The apple of her eye, the prime minister, is young and beautiful. Isn’t that man named Zhong blind? He has no interest in her at all!
Luo Yaqing had just had a quarrel with her husband and was in a bad mood. Just when she was doubting her charm, she happened to meet Zhong Xuran who "avoided her" and became even more annoyed.
But she couldn't find a reason to get angry. She couldn't say it was wrong for others to ignore her, right? So he had an excuse to get angry.
Luo Changqing sighed and said: "At a young age, he is already a prison director with real power. He has a bright future in the future. He is a talented person and he is calm and dignified... If you are not married, he is a bad guy. What a pity for such a dear man!"
After he finished speaking, he realized that what he said was not appropriate, so he quickly changed the subject and asked his daughter: "You are back. Have you met your brother and sister-in-law?"
Luo Yaqing replied absently: "I've seen it."
She was still thinking about what her father said. If she had married Mr. Zhong just now, would everything be different?
Her heart began to fluctuate, and she couldn't hold it back anymore after having this idea. Her father praised Mr. Zhong for being so good, and he didn't even look at her when he saw someone of the opposite sex. A lustful person, only such a man can keep himself clean, right?
The more Luo Yaqing thought about it, the more she couldn't calm down. Why did she quarrel with Zhou Wencun this time? It was because she found out that he was secretly having an affair with his dowry maid. He kept it secret from her and kept saying that it was because she was jealous. If she hadn't been jealous and didn't arrange a marriage for her husband, he would have used every woman secretly. Of?
But Luo Ya still clearly remembered that when he asked to marry her, he promised that he would only have one woman, but now he regretted it, as if he had never said that he would not tolerate two things.
Even though she didn't want to admit it, Luo Yaqing actually regretted it in her heart. She was coaxed by Zhou Wencun's sweet words, and she didn't listen to her father and brother, so she fell into the mud pit of Shunyi Prince's Palace.
Since marrying into the palace, she has realized how wonderful life was in her natal family before she left the palace. However, her mother-in-law didn't like her marriage, her sister-in-law plotted against her, and her husband said she was stingy and jealous... She became more and more haggard day by day. Like a delicate flower that has been torn apart by sex, it has no power to resist.
"Why is your face so ugly? Are you having a hard time in Shunyi Palace? Didn't Zhou Wencun take good care of you?" Luo Changqing couldn't help but frown and asked when he saw his daughter's haggard and pale face.
"No..." Luo Yaqing was still about to deny it, but when she saw her father's knowing look, her eyes became sore and she almost shed tears, "Zhou Wencun said that I was the only woman, but he secretly slept with my maid in Chencang. Dad, I don’t accept it..."
