Chun Xing felt a chill in her heart.

In panic, she looked at Uncle Zhong aside, "Uncle Zhong, save me! You asked us to do this!"

The whole courtyard was in an uproar.

Uncle Zhong's face suddenly turned pale. He thought for a moment, then lifted up his clothes and knelt down, "Your Highness."

Xi Feng looked at Xie Tingzhou sincerely.

He and Changliu were both brought up by Uncle Zhong. Although they were not blood relatives, they were more like relatives.

Xie Tingzhou said calmly: "Get up and answer. Do you have anything to say?"

Uncle Zhong was helped by Xifeng to stand up and said in a solemn voice: "I did say that I wanted to drive Shigure away, but this strategy was not what I had in mind."

Xie Tingzhou lowered his eyes and glanced at Chun Xing.

Chun Xing hurriedly explained, "We also want to share Uncle Zhong's worries."

Uncle Zhong is the steward of the palace. If you share his worries for him, you will be on the line of Uncle Zhong, and you might be able to show your face in front of Xie Tingzhou.

"The three of them behaved improperly and spoke improperly. Let's deal with them how they should be dealt with." Xie Tingzhou said and left.

If they just behave badly, they can just sell it out, but if they speak incorrectly, it means that they may not be able to control their mouths even if they leave the house.

Wealthy people usually have several ways to deal with it, either they are too cruel to sell, or they are killed once and for all.

Xie Tingzhou fell ill and was unable to take Cang hunting, so the job fell on Changliu.

After Changliu finished his errands, he came back to report to Xie Tingzhou. He was shocked when he saw Uncle Zhong kneeling in the yard.

"Grandpa!" Chang Liu trotted over, "Grandpa, what are you kneeling down for?"

Uncle Zhong shook his head in shame. He was old and his head was dizzy after kneeling for a while.

Changliu couldn't bear to bother him, so he hurriedly ran to find Xie Tingzhou, but was stopped by the Xi Feng before he even entered the house.

"return!"

Changliu stamped his feet anxiously, "Grandpa is still kneeling, what's going on?"

Xi Feng pulled Chang Liu aside and roughly explained the ins and outs of today's events.

As Uncle Zhong was the steward of the palace, Xie Tingzhou had left some room for him by not scolding him in public, so as to prevent Uncle Zhong from losing his prestige in front of others.

The word "loyalty" in Uncle Zhong comes from the old prince. He once blocked a knife for the old prince and almost lost one of his hands. Later, the old prince gave him the surname Xie Mingzhong.

Uncle Zhong felt that he was not worthy of the family master's surname, so he called himself Azhong. Later, everyone called him Uncle Zhong.

The word "loyalty" is correct. He is a loyal servant. He has been loyal to his master for so many years and has done his best. He will never make decisions without authorization. Xie Tingzhou could guess that he was entrusted by the old prince.

Kneeling was what Uncle Zhong wanted to do. Although he did not take the initiative, the matter started because of him. As a steward of the palace, he should be gentle and quick in his words. Such words should not have come from him.

The more Xie Tingzhou refused to punish him, the more uncomfortable he felt.

Changliu wrinkled his nose in anxiety. Spring had just begun and the ground was still cold. Uncle Zhong couldn't bear it now that he was old.

"This is how to do ah?"

Xi Feng was also anxious, but had no choice but to ask, "You are usually very clever and clever, what do you think?"

Changliu thought for a moment and said, "I'll go find His Highness."

Xie Tingzhou had just finished drinking the medicine, put down the bowl and looked at Chang Liu who knelt on the ground with a plop as soon as he entered the door.

He asked slowly: "Is kneeling still contagious?"

Changliu pursed his lips and looked like he was about to cry, "Your Highness, can I take the punishment for Uncle Zhong?"

Xie Tingzhou took the handkerchief and wiped his hands, "I didn't punish him."

"But he feels worse than being punished." Changliu muttered.

When Xi Feng heard this at the door, he thought Chang Liu could come up with some good ideas, but he didn't expect this.

He strode into the door, pulled Changliu up from the ground, and reprimanded: "You are using yourself to force His Highness, what can Your Highness do? He has not punished Uncle Zhong, is it possible for His Highness to bow to Uncle Zhong? ?”

After a while, he woke him up and quickly explained: "I didn't mean it, I was just anxious."

Xie Tingzhou was silent for a while and then said, "Tell Uncle Zhong that he owes me nothing."

Changliu couldn't figure out whether Xifeng was older than him, but he understood immediately and dragged Changliu out of the door.

Xi Feng relayed His Highness's words to Uncle Zhong. Uncle Zhong lowered his head and pondered for a moment before standing up with difficulty.

Chang Liu hurriedly stepped forward to help.

Uncle Zhong steadied his body against Chang Liu and said feebly: "Help me go to Lu Mingxuan."

He understood clearly what His Highness said. The reason His Highness was not punished was because he owed nothing to His Highness.

Although Uncle Tadashi doesn't like Shigure, he prides himself on being upright and upright in his life and would never set up a trap behind others' backs.

It was getting dark, and the door of Lu Mingxuan, which had just been quiet for a while, was knocked open again.

Erya came to open the door and saw it was Uncle Zhong, so he hurriedly ran to call Shigure.

Uncle Zhong broke away from Chang Liu's support and stood upright in the courtyard.

As soon as Shen Yu stepped out of the threshold, she saw Uncle Zhong bowing his hands in her direction.

Shen Yu was startled, ducked over, and held the old man's arm when Zhong Bo bowed for the second time, "What are you doing?"

Uncle Zhong said: "I owe you a debt, and I should repay you these few times."

Saying this, he bowed his head again.

Shen Yu supported Uncle Zhong without moving and said, "I forgive Shi Yu but I don't agree with this. As the saying goes, 'No harm comes to the wife and children, no crime comes to the parents.' Even if your close relatives are not punished together, let alone you have nothing to do with them. In this case, Of course it has nothing to do with you.”

Uncle Zhong: "But..."

"Did you conspire with them?"

Uncle Zhong said with a solemn expression, "Not really."

"Did you deliberately hint to them?"

"From nothing."

"Have you ever thought about using conspiracy or means to drive me out of the house?"

Uncle Zhong frowned, "I'm not that kind of person. I wanted to have a good talk with you and influence you to let you leave on your own."

"That's right," Shen Yu smiled, "I also heard Xifeng tell Changliu that you should just hold on to death, but if Changliu really holds on to death, it has nothing to do with Xifeng."

Changliu said aggrievedly: "How can you think about my death? Can't you use another metaphor?"

Shen Yu smiled and let go of Uncle Zhong's hand, took a step back and said: "It's just a joke, one code is the same. I won't get angry with you because of a joke, but I am not a person who repays evil with kindness. You don't like it." Me, of course I don’t like you either.”

"However." Shen Yu paused, "I just accepted your compliments and I didn't dare to accept them. Shigu is here to return the favor."

Shen Yu bowed deeply in return.

Uncle Zhong was considered highly respected in the palace, and he often received courtesy from his juniors, but this was the first time he received the courtesy, and he felt that it would straighten him out.

The young man's sincere gesture restored his dignity.

Uncle Zhong's eyes were slightly red, and he returned to his previous appearance, "Although I have received your courtesy today, I still do not agree with you staying in the palace. I will still find time to talk to you in the future."

The three of them left Lu Mingxuan, and Uncle Zhong was filled with emotions.

From beginning to end, the young man was neither humble nor arrogant, he advanced and retreated in a measured manner, and his words and deeds were quite noble. He should have a very upright family tradition, but somehow he fell into the trap at a young age.

Uncle Zhong thought to himself that if Shigure had nothing to do with His Highness, he would not want to drive him out of the palace. Where can such a young child go after leaving the palace?

At this moment, he completely forgot about Shigure and the treasures in that warehouse.

Changliu asked: "Grandpa, did you suddenly realize that Shigure is pretty good? Isn't he quite lovable?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Mingxuan's courtyard door creaked open again.

"I forgot to mention it just now." Shen Yu stuck her head out and said, "I don't think it's necessary to talk about it. I'm a stubborn person and I won't be able to get rid of you. You'd better not waste your efforts."

Uncle Zhong shook his sleeves and pointed. He had shrunk back and the door was closed with a clang.

Uncle Zhong was so angry that he blew his beard and glared, "What a good guy, but not lovable at all!"

Chang Liu and Xifeng laughed.
