Early the next morning, Cheng Yi, who hadn't slept all night, sat in front of the bed in a daze, listening to the busy voices of people outside the house, the time to welcome the bride was approaching.

"Bang, bang, bang..." The second housekeeper of the Wangfu hurriedly knocked on the door, "Jun Ma Ye, are you awake yet? It's time to go to the Wangfu to pick up the princess."

Cheng Yi's eyes flickered, and he slowly opened his slightly clenched fist, and in the palm of his hand lay quietly the pair of red bean knots that Li Niang gave her.

"Jun Ma Ye? Jun Ma Ye?" There were constant knocks on the door.

Cheng Yi stood up slowly, walked to the round table, put a pair of red beans into a brocade box, looked at it for a long time, finally closed his eyes, and snapped off the lid of the brocade box.

"Jun Ma Ye, the auspicious time is coming, and the servant can't afford to miss the time." The people outside the door were in a hurry.

Cheng Yi was annoyed by the noise, turned his head and yelled at the door: "What's the noise, just wait for me."

The voice fell, and the door was silent.

Cheng Yi held the brocade box in his hand, walked to the book pavilion, stepped on a stool and placed it in the top pavilion.

"If there is any medicine for regret in the world, if you don't go to the emperor, you will not be wronged." Cheng Yi touched the brocade box and said, got off the stool, walked to the round table, grabbed the collar of the auspicious suit, and tore the auspicious suit open.

When I was young, the door opened, and the second steward of the Wangfu looked back, seeing that Cheng Yi had put on his auspicious clothes, he was immediately overjoyed.

"Jun Ma Ye, the auspicious time is coming, please get out of the house quickly and get on the horse."

Cheng Yi glanced lightly at the second butler, went out without saying a word, got on his horse in front of the gate of the mansion, looked at the door plaque, and was stunned. When he returned to the mansion that day, there was still a plaque of the champion's mansion. In just a few days, the county horse's mansion was hung up, hehe, as expected, if she had no power, she would only be flattened and rounded. The plaque on the mansion was changed, and her so-called master didn't even know it.

"Pick up the sedan chair and welcome the bride." The second butler of the palace shouted, and the welcoming band immediately started playing.

"See, the champion of the new department, Wenquxing, has just been admitted to the imperial examination not long ago, and now he has been admitted to the junior imperial examination. He is still the noble son-in-law of the royal family, the county matriarch."

"I'm so lucky, I've made great progress since then."

"Hey, why don't we have such a good life? I really think I will be the champion."

"You? Next life."

Cheng Yi listened to the words of the spectators, and smiled helplessly, God is really strange, those who want to be the son-in-law of the royal family can't do it, and those who don't want to be threaten to let you do it, is it true that people are born unsatisfactory.

The welcoming team circled around the city gate and arrived at Prince Ming's Mansion.

Cheng Yi got off his horse, walked to the red carpet in front of the stone steps and stopped.

"Master Jun Ma?" Seeing Cheng Yi's reluctance, the second housekeeper quickly stepped forward to remind him, "Master Jun Ma, the prince and princess are waiting for you in the mansion."

Cheng Yi knew in her heart that this was a road of no return, but now she had nowhere to go, and she had to go if she didn't take this road of no return.

Cheng Yi picked up the brocade woven knee covering in front of the robe with both hands, and walked up the steps.

"Master Jun Ma, welcome your relatives!!!"

As soon as the words fell, the firecrackers outside the palace gate rang.

At this time, in Yanghe, in the rented house of the Shen family, Xiao Rou hurriedly entered the master bedroom with the boiled medicine.

"Miss, the medicine is ready." Xiaorou put the prescription on the stool in front of the bed.

Lu Qingyi put Shen Wenchang's hand down, picked up the medicine, scooped up a spoonful of it with a spoon, let it cool down, and handed it to Shen Wenchang's mouth.

When the person is in a coma, less medicine is sent into the mouth and more is poured out.

Seeing this, Lu Qingyi took the bowl with his left hand, pulled the curtain with his right hand and pulled the bed curtain to death, then poured the cool medicine into his mouth, leaned down and took the medicine with his lips.

Xiao Rou was puzzled when she saw her young lady's move, but after thinking about it, her cheeks turned red, she tiptoed out and closed the door.

After Lu Qingyi finished feeding the medicine, she wiped the corners of Shen Wenchang's mouth with a handkerchief.

"Wen Chang, wake up quickly. In fact, let's just let nature take its course. I shouldn't take you to the Chen family's grave. You wake up quickly. If you don't wake up, I'm going to panic." Lu Qingyi touched Shen Wenchang's cheek and whispered She waited all night yesterday, but Shen Wenchang didn't show any signs of waking up, "Wen Chang, wake up, my mother and I are here, we are here."

outside the house.

"Xiaorou, sir, is he awake?" Lu Qing hurried into the courtyard and asked eagerly when he saw Xiaorou.

Xiao Rou said with a downcast face: "Hey, not yet, the lady is feeding medicine to uncle, wait to see if he can wake up after taking the medicine."

"Hey, what should we do?" Lu Qing was anxious, and glanced at the main room.

"What's wrong?" Xiaorou felt wrong.

"Oh, that Zhang Ziliao is here. He called outside to see my uncle and miss, and said he won't leave if he can't see anyone." Lu Qing kicked the ground after saying that, "Tell me, back then his father almost Killed the master, and now Zhang Ziliao is looking for the uncle and the lady again, I think he must have held his fart."

"That's for sure." Xiaorou said anxiously, "Why is it so late, and it happened to come just in time when my uncle was unconscious."

"Xiao Rou, take good care of my uncle and miss, and I'll go outside to block it." Lu Qing said.

"Fuck me, do I have the ability to do that?" Xiaorou felt Lu Qing's head was like a pig, "You go outside to deal with it first, let Shen Song quickly find Fourth Brother Meng, and ask him to bring more people, I Go tell Miss."

Hearing this, Lu Qing felt it was appropriate and ran out.

Xiao Rou ran to the front of the main room, opened the door, and ran in with her skirt.

"Miss, it's not good, Zhang Ziliao is here."

When Lu Qingyi heard the words, she quickly opened the curtain, the tears on her face were still wet.

"What did you say?"

"Zhang Ziliao is here and said he wants to see my uncle and miss."

Hearing this, Lu Qingyi turned her head and looked at Shen Wenchang who was still in a coma. Zhang Ziliao didn't come sooner or later, but he came at this time.

"Go!" Lu Qingyi pulled up the curtain and walked out quickly.

"Miss wants to see him?" Xiaorou was anxious, "He coveted Miss's beauty back then, but now my uncle is still awake..."

"Zhang Ziliao, you won't leave if you don't see him." Lu Qingyi went out of the house, turned around and closed the door, "Xiao Rou, you go and inform Shen Song to let him go to Meng Si."

"Miss, I have let Shen Song go." Xiao Rou replied.

Hearing this, Lu Qingyi glanced at Xiao Ju and said, "It seems that it is quite useful to take you out to manage alone."

"That's what Miss taught me well." Xiaorou smiled coyly.

Lu Qingyi gave Xiao Rou an angry look, and walked forward quickly.

In the front hall, Zhang Ziliao stood with his hands behind his back, followed by the chief secretary, Meng Ke and Wu Yan.

"When did Sister Qingyi not know how to be polite? I have been waiting here for so long, why haven't I seen her come out to meet guests? Or is it that she married a ruffian and has forgotten all the etiquette she learned in the past?"

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Lu Qing became anxious when he heard Zhang Ziliao insulting his young lady and uncle.

"Lu Qing, you are a servant who dare to speak to brother Zhang like that." Meng Ke scolded.

"Go and tell sister Qingyi, if she doesn't come out, I'll force my way in." Zhang Ziliao went to a chair and sat down, and put the painting wrapped in red and yellow cloth on the coffee table.

"My lord Zhang forcibly broke into a private house. Even if lord Zhang is an official, he must strictly abide by the law." Lu Qingyi walked out slowly.

Zhang Ziliao was stunned when he saw Lu Qingyi. Now Lu Qingyi looks even better than he had imagined. Sure enough, the [-]th female college has changed, and it has become more charming. It's a pity that he married an unlearned and incompetent ruffian.

"Sister Qingyi, please stay safe." Zhang Ziliao stood up.

Lu Qingyi laughed and said, "There are no flies flying around my ears, so I'm fine."

Zhang Ziliao's face turned cold, and he sat down again.

"Sister Qingyi didn't say things like this before." Zhang Ziliao straightened his robe, "I came because the county lord said that brother Shen was ill and came to visit."

"Thank you, Mr. Zhang, for your concern. It's just that the doctor said that Mr. Zhang's illness needs to be recuperated and that he can't see the wind. I'm afraid it will be a waste of time for Mr. Zhang." Lu Qingyi walked to the main seat and sat down and said slowly.

"Oh? Can the boy Shen Wenchang jump up and down rest in peace? Hahahahahahahaha, when have you ever seen a ruffian so peaceful." Zhang Ziliao laughed out loud.

"Although I came here as a guest, if Mr. Zhang continues to humiliate my husband with words, don't blame me for issuing an order to expel the guest." Lu Qingyi said coldly, her husband is a skin, and it is not Zhang Ziliao's turn to talk about it, besides, she has many husbands. She is lovable, but only those who have no eyesight say that her husband is a ruffian.

"Sister Qingyi, for the sake of Shen Wenchang, don't you even think about any old love?" Zhang Ziliao felt annoyed because of the word chasing guests. He glanced at the picture on the coffee table, rolled his eyes, and took the picture wrapped in yellow cloth in his hand. Handed it to Meng Ke, "Sister Qingyi, I came here today just to reminisce about the old days. My father is dead, and it's a matter of death. Now I'm kind enough to come to visit Colonel Shen. Even if you don't want to see anyone, you should have a cup of tea. "

Lu Qingyi was worried about Shen Wenchang in the room, she didn't have much patience for dealing with Zhang Ziliao, she just wanted to get rid of him quickly.

"Xiao Rou, watch tea."

"Yes, Miss." Xiaorou glanced at Zhang Ziliao, and quickly walked out of the front hall. When she came back, there were teapots and teacups on the wooden tray.Xiaorou walked to the lower position on the left, put the wooden tray on the coffee table, and poured a cup of tea.

Zhang Ziliao passed Xiaorou who was pouring tea and gave Wu Xi a look. Wu Xi understood instantly. When Xiaorou was about to hand the tea to Zhang Ziliao, he stretched out his leg and tripped Xiaorou, and the tea in Xiaorou's hand spilled instantly. On the red cloth bag.

"Ah!" Xiao Rou was tripped, and her hand was also scalded by the hot tea.

"Xiaorou." Seeing this, Lu Qing ran over, took Xiaorou's hand, and blew in distress.

Lu Qingyi was so frightened that she also stood up, and quickly walked over to take a look: "Lu Qing, quickly take Xiaorou out and take a shower with cold water."

"Wait." Zhang Ziliao stood up, quickly untied the red cloth bag, and revealed the two paintings inside, "This girl did it on purpose, knowing that I was looking for paintings for His Majesty, so she poured tea on the paintings , What a bold person, this painting was meant to be seen by Prince Beichuan, and now it has been destroyed by this girl, and His Majesty has condemned it, even ten heads are not enough to cut it off."

Xiaorou heard that her legs were weak and she couldn't stand up.

"Master Zhang, if you want to pursue it, come at me." Lu Qingyi stood in front of Xiaorou, "Lu Qing, quickly take Xiaorou down to get the medicine."

"But..." Lu Qing glanced at the hall, he left, and her young lady was alone.

"Take Xiaorou to get the medicine first." Lu Qingyi knew that Lu Qing was worried, so she was waiting for Meng Si to bring someone.

"Miss, I'll go and apply the medicine by myself, Lu Qing, please stay and take care of Miss." After saying that, Xiaorou ran out, but instead of going to take the medicine, she ran out of the gate to look for Meng Si and Shen Song.

"Sister Qingyi, tell me, should I tell His Majesty the truth, or..." Zhang Ziliao asked with narrowed eyes.

"Master Zhang ordered the tea himself, is it such a coincidence? As soon as Master Zhang ordered tea, did the tea spill on the painting?" Lu Qingyi was puzzled.

"Sister Qingyi, what do you mean?" Zhang Zi crossed his legs and took out the painting damaged by tea, "Do you doubt me? Although these two paintings are not expensive." Zhang Ziliao untied the painting rope and slowly unfolded it, "But I also spent..."

Zhang Ziliao glanced at the painting in his hand, his eyes widened and he stopped talking.

Seeing that Zhang Ziliao had stopped talking, Lu Qingyi thought he was taking the opportunity to blackmail him, and said, "I will pay you back exactly what it cost."

Zhang Ziliao shook his hands, turned a deaf ear to Lu Qingyi's words, stood up like crazy, took out another painting from the red bag that had been damaged by tea, opened it, and almost lost his soul.

"What's the matter? Brother Zhang?" Meng Ke stepped forward and asked.

Zhang Ziliao crazily snatched the yellow cloth bag from Meng Ke's hand, untied it, took out the painting inside, and opened it tremblingly. After seeing the painting, the painting fell off from his hand.

Seeing that something was wrong with Zhang Ziliao, Wu Kui quickly squatted down and picked up the painting. He was stunned for a moment when he saw the painting, then went to pick up the painting soaked in tea, and staggered two steps when he saw the signature.

"What's going on?" Zhang Ziliao clenched his fists and roared angrily, "What's going on?"

Lu Qingyi stood up and exchanged glances with Lu Qing, not understanding what happened.

"This, this is impossible, how could it be like this?" Wu Yan said, grabbing Meng Ke's collar and said, "Isn't Chen Huaizui's painting in a yellow cloth bag? Why is it in a red cloth bag?"

"This, this is impossible. I obviously asked my attendants to put Chen Huaizui's paintings into yellow cloth bags." Meng Ke panicked.

"Follower?" Zhang Ziliao turned his head to look at Meng Ke, "I entrusted you with such an important matter, and you let the follower intervene?" Zhang Ziliao punched Meng Ke with a wave of his right hand.

Meng Ke covered his face and went to look at the painting, and saw that Chen Huaizui's painting was soaked in tea, so frightened that he collapsed on the ground, unable to stand up.

"Brother Ziliao, I'll pay, I'll pay, let's go and find Chen Huaizui's paintings again." Meng Ke panicked.

"Go look for it again?" Zhang Ziliao raised his leg and kicked Meng Ke, "Before I came, Uncle Guo had already informed His Majesty that he had purchased the "Picture of Struggle for Flows in Myriad Valleys" and "Picture of Songs of Pines on a Mountain Road", and now I want to buy something else. Not to mention that there is not much time left, even buying other paintings is deceitful. Originally, His Majesty was dissatisfied with the fact that I only bought two paintings by Chen Huaizui, but now that I don't have these two paintings, Long Yan must be furious." Zhang Zi Liao panicked. Among the thousands of paintings in the exhibition, although there were not many Chen Huaizui, there were quite a few, but most of them came from the treasury and contributions from other courtiers. Now that he has ruined his errands, not only is His Majesty angry that he can't make up a thousand paintings exhibition, Even Uncle Guo is afraid that he will be punished.

"Brother Ziliao, this painting by Chen Huaizui was destroyed by the servant girl of the Shen family. Let the master send someone to report to the county magistrate, and ask him to arrest the Shen family and send them to the capital for punishment," Wu Kai said.

Lu Qingyi was shocked. He listened to a few words just now, and he understood in his heart. They thought the yellow cloth bag contained her husband's painting, so they took the yellow cloth bag in their hands early, but they didn't think about it. It was wrong. It's true that you can still live if you commit evil, but you can't live if you commit evil yourself.Now they earned it themselves, and she must not let them pin the crime on them.

Lu Qingyi walked over slowly, knelt down, and picked up the two paintings that had been soaked. After a closer look, they were indeed the authentic works of her husband.

"What are you laughing at?" Zhang Ziliao didn't have the time to call Sister Qingyi anymore. If he didn't do it right now, he would be demoted.

"I'm laughing at you for being stupid." Lu Qingyi rolled up the painting, "These two paintings are fakes. Once they are handed over to His Majesty, the Ministry of Rites will verify that they are fake. Then the head of Mr. Zhang may not be kept."

"Fake? Hehe, are you kidding me? How could these two paintings be fake?" Zhang Ziliao said, and glanced at the master book.

The master wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"These two paintings are indeed fake. The real one is in my husband's house, and the other is in my father's hands."

"Your Lu family has "A Picture of Thousand Bamboos", I know, when did Mr. Lu's incorruptible senses afford Chen Huaizui's paintings?" Zhang Ziliao questioned.

Lu Qingyi paused when she heard the words, that's right, the Lu and Zhang families were very close in the past, so naturally they couldn't hide their family details from each other.

"Tell me? Where did you come from?" Zhang Ziliao asked urgently, "Lu Qingyi, don't you want to get rid of the crime? Let me tell you, you and Shen Wenchang instigated the servant girl to destroy Chen Jiyun's painting. I will escort you to Beijing for questioning."

"That's good. I'll take these two paintings to Beijing. When the time comes, the imperial court will send someone to inspect them. They are fake. You have committed not only the crime of deceiving the emperor, but also the crime of framing others." Lu Qingyi's voice was resounding, but in his heart But feeling weak.

Zhang Ziliao was indeed intimidated, he pondered for a moment and approached Lu Qingyi, Lu Qing quickly stood in front of Lu Qingyi when he saw this.

"That doesn't prove that the ones in your hands are real. Tell me first, where did the paintings in your father's hands come from?" Zhang Ziliao continued to walk forward, "Can't tell? How about lying to me? Or, you Dad took a bribe."

"Stop slandering people." Lu Qingyi said angrily.

"How did that come about? Tell me!!!" Zhang Ziliao's expression changed.

"Ahem, it's a betrothal gift from my Shen family to the Lu family." Shen Wenchang appeared at the passageway from the front hall to the inner courtyard.

Everyone heard the words and looked at the sound in unison, only to see Shen Wenchang wearing a plain robe with his right arm propped on the wall of the passageway, looking very weak.

Seeing Shen Wenchang like this, Lu Qingyi hurried over, feeling relieved and excited at the same time.
