Chapter 179 Secret Relationship
Director Lu's words made the eunuch Wang Youzhong, the head of the Department of Internal Affairs, feel very horrified. If these words were spread, he might offend Concubine Li to death.

However, this Concubine Li is currently being favored by Emperor Tianfeng. If she offends her, isn't it against the emperor?
"Remove this task, and let the merchants responsible for purchasing osmanthus flowers prepare more next year. If Yijin Palace sends someone to pick them up, just say what our family said. This year's osmanthus flowers are gone. Even if there are, they are still in the pharmacy. You can't take any more points, that's it!"

Manager Lu gave orders in a rather imposing manner, and after he finished speaking, he glanced at Wang Youzhong and prepared to leave.

When he just walked to the door, Director Lu looked back at Wang Youzhong and said:
"Mr. Wang, our family can remind you, don't have any wrong thoughts. The name of the imperial business has always been fixed. If our family finds out, who secretly cheated on our family and took the benefits of other families, you will nice!"

After finishing speaking, Director Lu flipped his long sleeves and walked away.

Wang Youzhong first watched him leave respectfully, then he became angry and shouted loudly:
"Who? Did you tell him? Didn't our family tell you not to tell outsiders?"

At this time, the little eunuch who had just come to report replied in a low voice:

"Maybe it's a thing without an asshole, so I told Manager Lu about it!"

After hearing this, Wang Youzhong looked at the young eunuch angrily, and asked in a deep voice:

"Dai Wuquan, could it be him?"

"Eunuch, I don't think so. Eunuch Dai has been away from the Ministry of Internal Affairs recently, hasn't he?"

The young eunuch shook his head quickly.

After Wang Youzhong heard this, he was a little discouraged, but at this moment he was very unwilling in his heart. As a servant in the palace, the only way to climb up was to show his face in front of the harem master. Only in this way could he have a chance to climb up.

After a lot of trouble, knowing that Concubine Li needed sweet-scented osmanthus, Wang Youzhong wanted to show off without saying a word, so he assigned a task to the Shen family.

But what he got in exchange was the reprimand and ridicule from Manager Lu. Wang Youzhong can't forget the way Manager Lu looked just now.

That kind of arrogant and sarcastic look that he would never want to step on his head made Wang Youzhong resentful and mad. He understood that now is an opportunity, an opportunity to bring down Lu E, the chief executive of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

……

……

"Ma'am, it's not a big deal, it's just that Concubine Li wanted it, and the House of Internal Affairs followed suit. Right now, I've already told Lu E, the head of the House of Household Department, about it. After hearing this, he was very angry and said it was a matter , he didn’t know about it, so let’s go and investigate it!”

In the Jingxi Hou's mansion, Jingxi Hou Cui Fujin was explaining something to the wife of the Hou's mansion, Shen Yiling.

And Shen Yiling helped him take off his official uniform, frowning and said:
"This concubine Li is too proud of being favored. If she wants to be done by the people below, isn't that too much?"

After Cui Fujin heard this, he laughed and didn't answer. He didn't want to make too many comments about the matter of the harem, but suddenly remembered something, and said with a smile:

"Strange to say, Lu E also told me that Dong Pingzhang sent someone to inquire about this matter, and he seemed to think that this matter was inappropriate, so he sent someone to inquire. Madam, when will your Shen family even have people like Dong Pingzhang Are you talking?"

After hearing this, Shen Yiling was full of doubts:

"Master Hou said, but Dong Pingzhang, the new Chief Assistant?"

Cui Fujin nodded quickly, took off his official robes and put on ordinary clothes, then quickly drank tea, then looked at Shen Yiling, wanting to see what she had to explain.

"If this is the case, I don't know who I am. The money that the Shen family intends to handle has always been only the top and bottom of the House of Internal Affairs. At most, it is a few other eunuchs in the inner court, and nothing else. To be honest, Mr. Shen Jialian You can't even get in the door!"

Shen Yiling said with a face full of surprise.

Cui Fujin was surprised when he heard this:

"According to what Lu E said, it seems that Dong Pingzhang deliberately asked him not to make things difficult for the Shen family. The intention of helping is very obvious. Such words can't be said for any relationship. After all, the Ministry of Internal Affairs is a matter of the inner court. Even if he is the chief assistant, he is not allowed to interfere in such matters, if His Majesty knows about it, he will definitely be suspected! The gain outweighs the loss!"

After hearing this, Shen Yiling was full of surprise, and realized the weight of Dong Pingzhang's words, she frowned and thought about it, and then said after a while:
"Could it be that girl Hua got acquainted secretly?"

Cui Fujin shook his head:

"Impossible, their family is in Linjiang, Dong Pingzhang has been living in the capital, and only recently recovered. Besides, didn't you say that the Shen family wanted to get acquainted with him, but they couldn't even get in. How can I let Lord Shoufu pass the message in?"

The more the husband and wife talked, the more strange they felt, but it was always a good thing. The two of them didn't have any clues about each other, so they didn't say any more.

The next day, when Shen Yiling told Shen Jinhua about this strange incident, Shen Jinhua also felt very strange, and couldn't figure out why the chief assistant gave such a big favor to the Shen family.

Although it was just a trivial matter, if Dong Pingzhang could say a word, it would be a big deal. Shen Jinhua kept it in her heart, thinking about going to Dong Pingzhang's house to repay her in the future, and secondly, asking clearly what was going on.

Shen Yiling saw that Shen Jinhua also said it, so she didn't ask any more questions, she just said to reassure Shen Jinhua that with the order of the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, she finally didn't have to do that troublesome task.

Shen Jinhua was naturally also happy, and quickly smiled to thank Shen Yiling and Cui Fujin, knowing that they had made great efforts.

He also expressed to Shen Yiling that he and Mrs. Shen were planning to move to a new home.

After hearing this, Shen Yiling was very surprised and a little annoyed, and asked her sternly why she wanted to move away.

"Auntie, I have been bothering you and my uncle's family these days. The Hou's family has a big business, which is already very troublesome. Adding our family together, auntie and you are even more busy. Therefore, I forgive my niece for not being able to serve my aunt. Hope Auntie forgive me!"

Shen Yiling looked at Shen Jinhua with a firm face, and couldn't help feeling a little distressed in her heart. She quickly took her palm, squeezed it gently, and didn't speak, but her eyes were soft like water.

She didn't know that she, her strong niece, was probably ready for it a long time ago, but she just didn't want to say it.

Knowing that it is not easy for her family to be dependent on others, it would be better to move out as soon as possible, Shen Yiling's heart is full of pity.

Although she is the wife of the Hou's Mansion, she manages the huge Hou's Mansion, and there are always some areas that are not well taken care of. If her nephew and niece have been wronged in private, she knows that she will not immediately Know.

Besides, with Shen Jinhua's temperament, she was afraid to trouble her and make things difficult for her, even if she was wronged, she probably wouldn't say anything.

In this case, it's better to move out of the Hou's Mansion and live in his new home, so that he can live comfortably and don't have to worry about causing trouble to the Hou's Mansion.

"Good girl, you... well, that's all, my aunt knows how to persuade you to leave, but the gate of the Hou Mansion is always open, so if you encounter anything, just come here and tell aunt..."

Shen Yiling looked at Shen Jinhua, who showed the demeanor of a lady in front of her, and her heart ached, she squeezed her palm vigorously, and said softly.
