The Minister of Household Affairs couldn't help but sigh that his immediate boss was truly a winner in life. He had a smooth career, a son and a daughter, and a gentle and beautiful wife.
On the other hand, I haven't been home for so many days, and none of my wife's sons have come to look for me. I didn't even send a servant to ask. Alas, it's so irritating to have people compare to each other.
He was sighing with emotion about life when he suddenly saw the door of the imperial study room opened and a woman wearing light cyan palace clothes came out.
Seeing that the woman was about to come over, the Minister of Household Affairs hurriedly avoided her, for fear of being treated as cannon fodder and implicated in Wuwu disaster.
Looking at the slap marks on his face and the messy hair, Minister Tobe could almost guess what happened in the imperial study just now.
Yes, this woman is the concubine who has been demoted in recent days, but now her name should be Yu Jieyu.
As one of the ministers involved in the Wen family incident, the Minister of Household Affairs could probably predict Yu Jieyu's fate, but now, even a skinny camel is bigger than a horse, so it was better for him to avoid it if he could.
Juanjuan lay on Yu Xiheng's shoulder and watched Wen Ruoyu walk towards them step by step.
She had always liked bright colors, so she wore light-colored clothes uncharacteristically. Her hair was a little messy, and the left side of her face was red and swollen, looking extremely embarrassed.
[Why is she here? She doesn’t want to bully my mother! 】
Juan Juan still remembers the day of the full moon banquet, when she scratched her face with her armor and frightened her mother.
So he watched her slowly walking in with wary eyes.
When they heard Juan Juan's inner voice, the two of them knew that Wen Ruoyu was coming, but Yu Xiheng's expression did not change and he did not even look back.
Lin was a little nervous subconsciously, but then she saw Wen Ruoyu's appearance, her eyes glazed over, and she stood still without moving.
I almost forgot, things are different now.
She walked over and looked at Yu Xiheng with her beautiful eyes, the fine lines at the corners of her eyes wrinkled, a bitter smile on her face, and her voice was low and hoarse.
"Are you really going to be so heartless?"
After receiving a secret letter from her father and brother yesterday, Wen Ruoyu learned that the emperor had been investigating the Wen family in recent days. Among the officials involved in the investigation, Yu Xiheng is the main person in charge.
It was impossible for her not to know about the little actions of her father and brother outside the palace. On the contrary, in some matters, she used her favor in the palace to secretly facilitate the family members.
If the accounts kept by the Wen family in the Ministry of Accounts over the years are traced one by one, the day the accounts are settled will be the day the Wen family is destroyed.
Moreover, Yu Xiheng is extremely efficient in his work. He has been working non-stop for the past few days with people from the Ministry of Accounts to check the accounts, and has already submitted three account books to the emperor.
Her father and brother were contacting people to fill in the blanks, and then they sent a message asking her to find a way to hold Yu Xiheng back.
Wen Ruoyu's eyes were bitter, and this bitterness was not pretended.
She looked at the man in front of her who didn't even look at her, and smiled reluctantly, "Can we talk?"
Mrs. Lin pursed her lips lightly, her eyes deepened, and she raised her eyes to glare at Yu Xiheng.
Yu Xiheng took a step back as if facing a formidable enemy. His jade-like voice was distant and cold, "I think I and Yu Jieyu have nothing to talk about."
[Daddy is panicking~Hehehe...]
[When I got closer, I saw that the imperial concubine had really aged a lot. Without the mermaid's blood to maintain her beauty, she seemed like a different person. 】
Only then did Mrs. Lin know that the injuries on the little girl's body were caused by Wen Ruoyu.
Of course Wen Ruoyu saw the look in Lin's eyes just now. She felt so mixed in her heart that she couldn't even maintain the stiff smile on her face.
"If you insist on continuing the investigation, let me remind you that the water in the Wen family is very deep, and the roots and branches are intricate. There are many things involved that you can't think of. Father asked me to tell you, why don't we each take a step back, you Stop it now, he is willing to admit what has been found out now, we can turn our hostility into friendship, and the Wen family can get whatever you want."
Yu Xiheng finally looked at her. He stared closely into Wen Ruoyu's eyes, with a smile in his deep eyes, and said in a playful tone, "I didn't expect the Wen family to be so capable. It seems that I will have to investigate further when I get back." Check, thank you Jieyu for reminding me."
Wen Ruoyu was furious, "You..."
"Huh? Is there anything else Jieyu wants to remind you?"
Seeing that she was so angry that she couldn't speak, Yu Xiheng raised his eyebrows and smiled with a bit of interest.
Wen Ruoyu didn't know that he was mocking her. She grimaced and gritted her teeth, "No, then I'm here to wish you success in your investigation."
Yu Xiheng nodded, with a faint smile on his eyes and brows, as gentle as the wind, "I would like to borrow Jie Yu's good words."
Wen Ruoyu was so angry that she threw away her hands and left, her face livid, and the two palace maids behind her quickly followed.
After she left, Mrs. Lin asked about the Wen family, "Su Minglian came here a few days ago and said she wanted to give us a three-legged golden crow, but Juan Juan and A Xu blocked her."
At this point, she frowned and said with some worry: "I always feel that Su Minglian has some connection with the Wen family. She seems to be involved in many things of the Wen family."
"Madam, your guess is good." A thoughtful look appeared on Yu Xiheng's face, and he said slowly and calmly:
"Su Minglian's mother was once the maid of Wen Ruoyu's mother. Later, the Wen family returned her deed of sale, so she went out of Beijing to marry an innkeeper and gave birth to Su Minglian. When Su Minglian was young, she took her to Wen Ruoyu I stayed in the government for three years."
Mrs. Lin's mouth opened slightly in surprise. She couldn't believe that Su Minglian and the Wen family had such a relationship.
This was also discovered by Yu Xiheng while investigating the Wen family.
"Su Minglian's mother is not from the Jiang Kingdom. When she came to the Jiang Kingdom, she was hunted down. She was a maid who entered the Wen family to avoid her enemies. Because she knew some evil arts, she was quickly reused and trusted by Wen Ruoyu's mother. She helped With her, she quietly got rid of many people who had no dealings with the Wen family."
When he first found out, Yu Xiheng was a little surprised.
Mrs. Lin thought about the medicine her parents were given by Su Minglian, and pursed her lips with worry.
Juanjuan listened silently throughout the whole process, and it wasn't until Yu Xiheng mentioned the evil arts that she made any move.
[So Juan Juan’s ability to hear his stinky aunt’s thoughts is related to these evil practices? 】
[Otherwise, why can you hear hers when other people can't? 】
[And the smell on her body, is it also related to these things? correct! Juan Juan also smelled that smell on her beautiful aunt before! 】
Mrs. Lin looked at Juanjuan in surprise and thought, this is really a turn of events.
Just now she was worried that Su Minglian's methods were unpredictable, and then Juanjuan gave her a big surprise.
She wished she could hold Juan Juan and kiss her a few times now. It was truly the most precious gift from God to their family.
Yu Xiheng lowered his eyes to look at the person in his arms, rubbed her hair with his warm fingertips, and smiled warmly.
