Shocked! After planting, a sickly and charming first assistant will grow up.

To avoid the news, Lu Xiao closed the door and stayed at home for several days.

When he finally returned to the morning court, he found that his colleagues would look at him with a secretive look.

When he was puzzled, Prime Minister Jiang passed by him, raised a smile and was about to say hello... The other party left a cold snort.

Lu Xiao's heart skipped a beat, knowing something had happened again.

Throughout the morning, he spent all his energy trying to guess what kind of monster the best was causing. He was so absent-minded that he almost missed the emperor's roll call:

"Your Majesty! I am here."

The emperor's voice, sitting high on the dragon's throne, remained unchanged:

"Lu Aiqing! Our dynasty governs the world with filial piety, does not harm others' relatives, and governs the world with benevolence."

"do you understand?"

Lu Xiao broke out in cold sweat and knelt down on his knees, "I accept my order. You must take good care of yourself when you go back."

I thought that the emperor's words were pointing out that he was not filial to his parents, and he felt aggrieved. Can such an old lady tell him how to fulfill his filial piety, and package it up and give it to the emperor?

He was so engrossed in his thoughts that he didn't pay any attention to the incomprehensible expressions on the faces of the civil servants.

The correct interpretation of the emperor's words is: As a superior, one should be based on filial piety and kindness, protect the people, and implement benevolent government.

The purpose is to tell him: quickly deal with the best things in your family and get back to business with the people of the country.

This girl's answer is "examine yourself"? What on earth was he thinking about?

Prime Minister Jiang, who was ranked first among the officials, turned red, and for the first time he suspected that there was something wrong with his eyesight.

I can’t even understand a human sentence! When I fell in love with him, I must have been blind and confused.

Lu Xiao came from the countryside and went directly to the battlefield. He had a good way of leading troops and fighting. He had never attended a serious school for two days.

Hearing his answer, the emperor was obviously startled, with a smile on his fox eyes: "As long as you understand."

"Pfft!" I don't know who couldn't hold back laughter.

This emperor was bad enough. He knew that Lu Xiao didn't understand, but he still said that he understood. He obviously wanted to watch the next drama.

I have long been tired of seeing the tricks being played around in various houses, but the best of the Lu Xiao family is different. It is the same every day, but everything is different.

Just when you think you are speechless and explosive, they can always refresh your outlook.

It’s really a different kind of fireworks in Beijing.

"..."

After going to court, Lu Xiao originally wanted to find out what happened to his father-in-law, but he didn't expect the other party to throw up his sleeves and leave without even looking at him.

The vague and appreciative glances from his colleagues passing by made him very uncomfortable, as if they wanted to clean him inside and out.

Finally, a colleague with whom he usually had a good relationship pulled him into a corner and said, "Brother Lu! Have you been married in the countryside?"

Lu Xiao was so shocked that he never mentioned his past since he came to Beijing, fearing that his political opponents would dig deeper into his past.

He has also kept the news of his wife hidden. People in Beijing say that he is a good man who loves and protects his wife. If people know that he has a first wife in the country...

Doesn’t the reputation you finally built up need to be destroyed in one fell swoop?

Unexpectedly, the news that I had deliberately concealed would be exposed to the public.

It wasn't over yet. Seeing that he didn't speak, his colleague asked again: "I heard that your first wife is no longer alive?"

Lu Xiaogang was about to nod. At this moment, he was extremely grateful that Ming Niang was dead. Although the reputation he had established would be damaged, it would not collapse.

However, it was too early for him to rejoice.

The colleague looked at him secretly and slowly continued: "Is your current wife forcing him to death?"

In fact, this is a nice thing to say, and it is being spread all over the capital... Lu Xiao was promoted to an official position and made a fortune at the death of his lover. His first wife was brutally murdered by him and the lady of the prime minister's house.

Colleagues didn't believe that Lu Xiao was this kind of person, so they called him to a corner to ask what happened.

Lu Xiao felt as if he had been struck by lightning for a moment, his pupils shrank and then dilated, his voice was unsteady and trembling: "Who did you listen to?"

Seeing his "secret exposed" look, my colleague made his own judgment and decided to stay away from him in the future. This kind of person should not be closely associated with him.

It is said that every time a hero kills a dog, the most unlucky person is a scholar.

Their colleagues are also military generals, like the generals they wear with their heads in their belts, who may one day go to the battlefield and never come back.

Therefore, it is excellent to stay at home with a wife and children who may be widowed at any time.

He despises a heartless person like Lu Xiao the most.

There is no life for a scholar to be pampered, but he has contracted the disease of being heartless and ruthless.

Without even saying hello, he turned around and left.

Lu Xiao still stood there for a long time, unable to regain consciousness. He tightened his fists little by little. The past he tried so hard to hide was exposed without any preparation.

And, everyone in the city knows it.

He was so angry that he spat out a mouthful of blood.

"..."

On the other side, Jiang Keyuan took the old lady to attend the flower viewing banquet held by Wu'an Hou Mansion.

They are both from the Marquis House, but Wu'an Marquis is a first-grade Marquis from a well-established Dayong family.

Recently, she was recuperating at home with her husband. Unexpectedly, the post sent by Mrs. Wu'an Hou had the old lady's name on it.

No matter how unwilling she was, she still brought people here.

Entering the flower hall, he sent his servants to accompany the old lady to find a place to sit, and then went to the backyard flower pond alone to meet the sisters and wives whom she knew well.

"Madam, the peonies in your flower pond are so beautiful, and you take good care of them."

Stepping into the backyard, a group of girls, each with their own merits, were accompanying a graceful and luxurious woman, pointing to the peony pond in front of them and chattering.

Jiang Keyuan approached slowly, and the peonies were arranged in patches according to different colors, like rainbows in the sky, like colorful brocades, like the rays of the setting sun.

She couldn't help but click her tongue: "It's so beautiful."

Hearing Jiang Keyuan's voice, everyone turned around, and when they saw her, the young ladies all looked strange.

"Coming?" Mrs. Wu'anhou greeted and sent these juniors to play by themselves.

He walked slowly to the flower pond, pointed at a black chrysanthemum and asked, "Is it beautiful? Marquis Wu'an spent a lot of money to find this for me."

Jiang Keyuan raised her eyebrows: "Beautiful is very beautiful! But don't you think it's strange to have a black chrysanthemum mixed with peonies?"

"Ha! Ha ha ha!" This sentence somehow made Madam Wu'anhou laugh. She covered her lips with a handkerchief and laughed so hard that her branches trembled.

After he stopped laughing, he reached out and took hold of Jiang Keyuan's soft skin and patted her gently, with a meaningful expression on her face: "What you said really speaks to my heart."

At this time, a little maid whispered something in Madam Wu'anhou's ear. The latter raised her eyebrows and glanced at Jiang Keyuan:

"Mrs. Shouben didn't entertain you well, and she won't accompany you if you have something else to do."

They are both in the Hou family, so they will inevitably compete with each other in private.

Jiang Keyuan did not expect the host of the banquet to accompany her throughout the whole process, and the two parties exchanged greetings to say goodbye.

Looking around, I saw an acquaintance in a pavilion somewhere. I walked over and saw that her concubine was sitting in the pavilion chatting with people.

It looked like he was talking lively.

As we got closer, the laughter and laughter in the pavilion suddenly stopped.

Jiang Keyuan frowned. She couldn't tell why, but she felt that the atmosphere of today's flower viewing party was very strange.

Even the concubine who usually would take the initiative to avoid her when seeing her, now the old god is sitting there with a smile on her face that makes her foresee something bad.

The first thing he said was: "Sister! I heard that you knowingly forced your first wife to death...is the news true?"
