In the back office study room, the windows and doors were closed tightly, and the light filtered through the blue screen window, making the inner room extremely transparent.

Jiang Yuzhu was in a bad state and felt dizzy.

When Xie Zhao heard that Jiang Yuzhu was coming, he thought he was here to urge him to facilitate the marriage between Jia Xinglin and Wei Jing.

In the past two days, Emperor Xiao She often disappeared. After the morning court, Xie Zhao went to the imperial study twice, but failed.

Since he promised Jiang Yuzhu to help, he had to explain a few words.

The room was quiet and the fragrance of tea filled the air.

When Xie Zhao entered the door, he found Jiang Yuzhu lying on the table and said, "Give me three days and we will resolve this matter."

Jiang Yuzhu was hunched over the desk and didn't listen to a word.

No matter how cold Xie Zhao's voice was, he still screamed like a fly when the pain was unbearable.

Jiang Yuzhu was so angry that she wanted to kick Xie Zhao out, but suddenly thought that this was Xie Zhao's territory, and suddenly lost her confidence.

A quarter of an hour later, Xie Zhao was still in the room and did not leave.

Jiang Yuzhu had to stand up and asked, "Isn't Master busy?"

Because of the pain in her lower abdomen, Jiang Yuzhu's voice was cold and a little hoarse than usual.

Then, she stopped talking to Xie Zhao, opened the door and left.

Xie Zhao stared at her back, turned his head and looked down at the corner of the table where she was leaning on her desk.

In the study room is a smooth tea table with water marks on the corners.

If you look closely, you can see the fingerprints left by Jiang Yuzhu lying on his stomach.

It was not hot in spring, but her palms were sweating. Could she be sick?

Xie Zhao followed him out of the yard unconsciously, his eyes following the familiar figure getting into the carriage until the carriage turned around and disappeared from his sight.

There is a large carriage parked in the corner of the back office. It looks familiar. It seems to be the carriage of Xie Mansion in Jiangnan.

Is there any family members who have come to Beijing?

Xie Zhao stood there for a moment and returned to the study. He picked up the tea cup that Jiang Yuzhu had used.

The tea has gone cold and is inexplicably bitter.

Xie Zhao saw Liang An poking his head and said, "Go back home and ask the kitchen to stew some supplements and send them to Madam, and add a few candied fruits."

After drinking the bitter medicine soup, you must eat candied fruit to sweeten your mouth.

Liang'an was stunned: "What's wrong with her, madam?"

In fact, Liang An wanted to ask why the master was so crazy. After three years of getting married, he ignored her and suddenly ordered the kitchen to deliver supplements.

So, Liang An added: "Poison?"

Xie Zhao: "..."

Even the boy next to him suspected his intentions. The corners of Xie Zhao's mouth twitched imperceptibly: "Liang'an, is there anything wrong with me caring about my wife?"

Liang'an looked struggling, and after a while he decided to tell the truth: "You should have asked this earlier, instead of coming out of the blue more than three years later, which is somewhat like a weasel paying New Year's greetings to a chicken."

After Liang'an finished speaking, he rubbed oil on his soles and slipped away.

At the door of the back office, Nanny Shen turned her head and said uncertainly: "Madam, I always feel that the young master just looked at the direction of the carriage in a complicated way, and we should be exposed."

Shen was not surprised: "Just now Yuzhu came out and covered his lower abdomen, and his face looked even worse. Could it be that he was beaten by Yuan He?"

If a man takes action, God will not allow it!

Shen had never doubted her son, but it was the letters that Xie Xuan and Shen Zhilan bombarded in turn that caused Shen's belief to collapse.

Mrs. Shen decided to go to Shen Zhilan to inquire about the situation first, and then return to Xie's Mansion to take care of her daughter-in-law.

At least a mother-in-law should know what her daughter-in-law likes.

Shen Zhilan was studying art in the countryside. She was almost frightened when she heard that her aunt was coming to the capital.

Aunt Shen seems to have a good temper, but in fact she is a very stubborn person, and she has some tricks to manage the concubine in the back house like a quail.

"Zhilan, my aunt has something to ask you."

When facing her niece, Shen was more direct and poured out all the questions in her heart.

Since Shen Zhilan thought about it, she has respected, envied and been grateful for Jiang Yuzhu, and has long since become her confidant.

In order to help Jiang Yuzhu speak, Shen Zhilan could only step on her mountain snow, Yun Zhongyue, and her cousin Xie Zhao, who seemed a little out of reach.

"Aunt, you came just in time, you must take care of your cousin!"

Shen Zhilan defended Jiang Yuzhu domineeringly, "My cousin is the best woman I have ever seen. If it weren't for marrying my cousin, how would my reputation be so bad? Or wouldn't it be tarnished by those who only want to marry my cousin? Especially Wei Jing!"

Shen Zhilan opened up her chatterbox and recounted everything that happened after entering Beijing.

"At the birthday banquet of the Wei Mansion, my cousin almost framed me because of Wei Jing's defense. My cousin still has to help Lu Qingxue cover up. Who else can do this?"

If it were Shen Zhilan, she would definitely uncover Lu Qingxue's scars in order to protect herself. Regardless of her reputation, she was not the one who killed her.

"As for Miss Zhang, what does it have to do with my cousin?"

Shen Zhilan took Wei Jing out and whipped her up and down, and Shen's eyes darkened.

"No wonder I collided with the Wei Mansion's carriage just after I entered Beijing yesterday!"

As the head matron of a wealthy family in the south of the Yangtze River, Mrs. Shen is not simple, on the contrary, she is very thoughtful.

After Shen Zhilan's words, Shen was sure that she was being plotted by Wei Jing, and said calmly: "This Wei Jing has some thoughts. She pretends to be like a little white flower, but her intentions are not right."

This kind of people are not worthy of entering the Xie family.

It is said that the old emperor granted marriages randomly, but now it seems that only the old emperor has a discerning eye for people.

Ginger jade beads are obviously the rarest and most rare pearls and jade.

Shen Zhilan particularly agreed and took Ms. Shen's arm and said, "Aunt, Zhilan, please don't arrange a concubine for your cousin. He is even alienated and indifferent to his cousin..."

"Okay, am I that shady?"

My concubine is just a servant, and her son doesn't like it. Shen can't force her to give her away. Why is she doing something to make people dislike her for no reason?

The key now is to promote the relationship between Xie Zhao and Jiang Yuzhu and turn around Xie Zhao's broken sleeves.

Shen Zhilan was shocked: My cousin has a broken sleeve?My aunt seemed to have misunderstood.

Since there is a misunderstanding, let's continue the misunderstanding. Shen Zhilan is on Jiang Yuzhu's side anyway, and she will not speak for her cousin.

But in order to fear that the truth would be revealed in the future, Aunt Shen would misunderstand Jiang Yuzhu, so Shen Zhilan had to make amends in advance: "Aunt, my cousin is very fond of my cousin. You must not say this."

In words, Jiang Yuzhu was willing to give.

Mrs. Shen nodded secretly: "How could I say that? This is a shameful thing."

Since Mr. Shen came to the capital, he would always visit the Jiang Mansion and must send some heavy gifts.

So, she asked Shen Zhilan to discuss it.

Xie Zhao ignored Shen's intention to come to Beijing.

At noon, the sun was rising and there was nothing going on at the Yamen. Xie Zhao rode his horse into the palace and successfully caught Xiao She who had just returned from wandering outside.

After getting the human skin mask, Xiao She was able to leave the palace freely and hide his identity very well, so he became addicted to playing.

Xie Zhao went straight to the point: "Your Majesty, I have something to report."

Xiao She was surprised: "Yuanhe, why are you so anxious? Is there a war in the North?"

Xie Zhao said calmly: "There is no war in the North yet, but there is a fire in my backyard. If you don't grant Miss Wei a marriage, Yuzhu will cause trouble."

If Jiang Yuzhu makes a fuss, he will definitely go to the house to uncover the tiles, and Xie's house will never have peace.

"Yu Zhu said that I want to demolish the study room of the minister to raise pigs."

Xie Zhao's expression remained unchanged and he repeated Jiang Yuzhu's joke.

When Xiao She heard that Wei Jing was assigned to Jia Xinglin, he jumped out of the dragon chair: "Yuanhe, did I hear you right? Chief Assistant Wei is your mentor, how could you have the heart to push his beloved daughter into the fire pit?"
