I am happy to be a mother in a famine year, I have a system to farm the land

"Master, Concubine Rong is here."

The voice of the entourage suddenly came from outside the study door, startling Sima Lian who was checking the secret reports sent by the subordinates.

"What is she here at this time?"

Ever since Murong Ting made a fuss over Rong Jiao, Sima Lian and Rong Jiao had never met in private.

Even if there was anything going on between the two of them, it would be done by the servants.

Now Rong Jiao came in person, which made Sima Lian feel a little surprised.

Although he was worried that Murong Ting would cause trouble here, he was also afraid that Rong Jiao would come to him with something important.

"Please allow the concubine to come in."

The entourage responded and was about to leave, but was stopped by Sima Lian.

"Wait, let people stare at the backyard, don't let the lady know."

The entourage knew Sima Lian's worries. Murong Ting thought Rong Jiao's night visit to Sima's Mansion had caused a fuss and went back to the Grand Master's Mansion.

If the master hadn't personally gone to Murong's house to plead guilty, I'm afraid his wife wouldn't have come back.

Thinking of this, the follower couldn't help but sigh.

Although he didn't know what was the important matter between the master and Rong Jiao, he insisted on avoiding the madam's discussion.

But he also understood that this Prince Rong's daughter was no ordinary woman.

And to be able to get the attention of his master, he is not an ordinary person in comparison.

However, as a person close to the master, he did not want a fire in the master's backyard.

After thinking for a moment, the attendant asked the people around him to invite Rong Jiao, while he went to look at the backyard himself.

Rong Jiao was slightly surprised when she saw that the person who came to invite her was not a manager.

"What? Are you in charge?"

The servant who came to open the door looked slightly embarrassed when he heard this.

"If you go back to the concubine, the steward... went to the backyard."

Rong Jiao is not stupid. If you think about it carefully, you will understand what is going on.

Thinking of Murong Ting, Rong Jiao couldn't help but snorted coldly.

Murong Ting had caused her such humiliation in the capital before, and she would definitely have to pay the price in the future.

Although Murong Ting is Sima Lian's wife, it seems that Sima Lian doesn't have much affection for his stepwife.

"Lead the way."

Rong Jiao didn't ask any further questions, and the servants also breathed a sigh of relief.

She was really afraid that Rong Jiao would cling to this matter. After all, Murong Ting had embarrassed Rong Jiao before.

Sima Lian saw Rong Jiao coming and immediately greeted her affectionately.

"Concubine Rong, you are welcome from afar."

Seeing Sima Lian's attitude, Rong Jiao was satisfied.

Since she lost her status as the princess, there were many people in the capital who laughed at her.

Nowadays, it is rare to meet someone like Sima Lian who still treats her with respect. Rong Jiao feels that Sima Lian is a smart man.

If she and the Eighth Prince sit in that position in the future, Sima Lian's benefits will definitely be indispensable.

What's more, even the Eighth Prince has said that Sima Lian is someone who can be used.That being the case, she was also willing to sincerely make such an ally.

"Prime Minister Sima, there is no need to be like this. I came to you today just because the prince asked me to come to you to discuss matters."

When Sima Lian heard this, he immediately understood what was going on.

Sima Lian raised his hand and asked the servant waiting at the door to go down first.

After asking Rong Jiao to sit down, Sima Lian personally poured tea for Rong Jiao.

"I wonder what the Eighth Prince thinks?"

Rong Jiao took a sip of tea and couldn't help but sigh.

"The tea here, Prime Minister Sima, is really good."

Sima Lian smiled and said immediately: "If the princess likes it, I will have someone get it for you later."

Rong Jiao did not refuse, "Thank you very much, Prime Minister."

Now that she regarded the other party as an ally, Rong Jiao no longer hid anything from Sima Lian.

"Your Majesty feels that Dazhou is now facing danger on the border, and I am afraid that he has no time to take care of the affairs of Linxian County. I want everyone to be calm. I wonder what the Prime Minister thinks?"

Rong Jiao also told Sima Lian that there were many people supporting the Eighth Prince now.

If Sima Lian has other thoughts, he should think about it.

Sima Lian nodded, seeming to agree with the Eighth Prince's decision.

"To be honest, I think so too."

Rong Jiao raised her eyebrows and looked at Sima Lian's expression carefully. Seeing the calmness on Sima Lian's face, she felt a little satisfied.

"In that case, I will take my leave first. The Prime Minister will know what to do in the court tomorrow."

Sima Lian nodded and had Rong Jiao sent out.

But no one expected that Murong Ting already knew about Rong Jiao coming to Sima Mansion again when Rong Jiao stepped into the courtyard.

The grandmother on the side saw Murong Ting's expression and felt a little worried.

"Madam, this concubine is only here for two sticks of incense. She...she and the master will be fine."

Although Sima Lian has reached the age of forty, he is by no means one who cannot lift with his hands or resist with his shoulders.

On the contrary, Sima Lian's physical fitness is better than those of the young men in the capital.

Although Sima Lian was a civil servant, his martial arts skills were not bad either.

Moreover, Sima Lian was an extremely self-disciplined person. Even though he stayed in the study room, he never failed in his martial arts. Even the leader of the guardian of the mansion felt ashamed when he stretched out his hands like that.

The old grandma felt that if something really happened between Sima Lian and Rong Jiao, Rong Jiao would definitely not leave so quickly.

Murong Ting looked calm, but there was a hint of bitterness in her eyes.

She naturally knew that there was nothing between Sima Lian and Rong Jiao, but why Rong Jiao came to Sima's house unscrupulously several times, wasn't it because she knew that Sima Lian didn't care about her as his wife?

"Mommy, I know, don't worry."

What kind of character Murong Ting is, others don’t know, how can the old nanny not know?

The more Murong Ting behaves like this, the more worried the old lady becomes.

"lady……"

"Mommy, I'm tired, please help me wash up."

Seeing Murong Ting like this, the old woman sighed, but she also did as she was told.

Sima Lian and the Eighth Prince comforted their subordinates to be calm, but no one expected that when they went to court the next day, what happened was completely different from what they imagined.

Seeing the gloomy and ugly expression on the emperor's face today, everyone looked at each other, wondering what was wrong with the emperor?

Seeing this, some people with ulterior motives couldn't help but feel anxious.

However, everyone comforted themselves in their hearts, feeling that the emperor should not know about this so soon.

After all, they only received the news from Linxian yesterday, and it was impossible for the emperor to receive the letter faster than they did.

Moreover, this capital is watched by their people, and if there are letters sent to the palace, they will also know about it.

Thinking like this, the people who were worried just now felt a little more relieved.

But I don't know why the hall was too quiet today or something, but everyone felt a little uneasy.

"My dear friends, do you have a memorial today?"
