Chapter Wu Silu Chapter v. Farewell

Mr. Chen paused, his voice became softer and softer: "Mother, Shen Li and Shen's Mansion have entrusted it to you, and this child...."

His big hands stroked his bulging belly, and his heart felt sour, but he had to say something: "Get so young!"

Tian Jiang drew the warmth from his chest and nodded in a cowardly manner. Suddenly, he heard the deep face report through the felt curtain: "Mr. Zhou, the Minister of Justice, arrived."

"Jiu'er, do you regret marrying me?" Mr. Chen asked softly.

Tian Jiang rubbed his eyes against his clothes before looking at him with his neck: "I regret it so much. I shouldn't have known you again. I fell into your trap and threw everything away. You are still old... um..." The words were still on his lips, but the lingering sound was swallowed by him.

The girl with a hard mouth and soft heart then regretted why she said a harsh word and then buckled his waist tighter, bit the soft red bite, and then leaned closer to her ears: "Jiu'er is waiting for me, let's get through this trip together, and I will make sure to compensate you well in the future."

Without any delay, you could hear the sound of the boots on the corridor. He pulled off a mandarin duck sachet from Tian Jiang's waist and put it into his sleeve, and headed out of the door.

Cuimei and Madam Tao walked in and saw Tian Jiang standing in a daze, unable to help but call her wife worriedly.

Tian Jiang seemed to turn his mind and hurried to the window. In addition to the Jinyiwei, there were many military officials in the courtyard. Zhou Chen, the Minister of Justice, bowed to Chen Erye and said something, his expression seemed to be a smile, his eyes were shining, and there was a slender scar on his forehead to his nose, which became more and more fierce and domineering.

A ray of winter sunshine passed through the thick cumulus clouds, which was very dazzling on the window. A sudden rumbling sound in her mind, and a scene came up. The spring flowers and peach talismans and windows were hung on the window door, and firecrackers crackled into her ears. The atmosphere of the New Year was still strong. The eleven-year-old Xiao Jiuer wore a peach-red brocade jacket and combed her buns. She was carried out by her father Tian Qihui and said anxiously: "Hurry up, go and chase Uncle Qin, beg him to take you out of the house."

Xiao Jiuer ran several steps and returned again. He didn't dare to enter the door. He peeked into the window through the crack. A second-rank official with a crane robe sitting on a chair for tea. His father was tied up and escorted by a soldier who rushed forward. He held a stick and hit his knees on his legs. His face was painfully unable to hold on and fell to the ground. The official seemed to notice something, and suddenly raised his head and stared at her. His hideous face gradually overlapped with Zhou Chen outside the window...

Many dusty memories, and the confused figures of dreams at midnight, all stumbled towards her from far to near, some people cried, some laughed, some begged, some cursed, and all kinds of messy and panic sounds covered the sky and covered her head. She couldn't stand the scream and fainted...

Mr. Chen paused suddenly. He heard Madam Tao and Cuimei shouting at Madam in the study, ignoring Zhou Chen, and only looked at Zhang Xiao, the right assistant minister. Zhang Xiao shook his head lightly. He pursed the corners of his lips, lowered his eyes to cover up a hint of coldness, and his steps continued to stop.

....................................................

When Tian Jiang opened her eyes, it was already dusk outside the window, and her voice was like smoke, and she called Cuimei hoarsely.

Cuimei was waiting beside her, and when she heard the sound, she quickly woke up to Madam Tao. While helping Tian Jiang up, she took warm tea and fed her.

The curtains of the door were clustered, and Mrs. Shen held Cui's hand. Behind, Aunt Su of He and Xue, and Maids and Madams were about to come in. When Tian Jiang saw it, she wanted to lift the quilt. Mrs. Shen hurriedly said, "Just lie down, your body must be polite." She sat on the edge of the couch, holding her hand and she couldn't help but burst into tears.

Tian Jiang smiled hard and said, "Why are my mother crying? I'm fine. As for the second master, there is no need to worry about him. He will explain the matter in the court clearly to the emperor and will come back in a few days."

He and Cui sat on the chair opposite, listening carefully, seeing that she was a little pale, she was not panicked, and they all breathed a sigh of relief.

Is Mrs. Shen an ordinary woman? Now this is a big battle between the Ministry of Justice and the Jinyiwei. She is very clear-headed, and she must have suffered a disaster. But after hearing Tian Jiang's words, she knew her intention and wiped the corners of her eyes with a veil. She said: "Look, I was having trouble when I was young, but now I am getting older and getting worse. If there is a turmoil, I will be distracted, which will make you a joke in vain."

Cui quickly interrupted, "It is said that concern is chaotic, and we can hear it as if a thunder sounds blew up in our ears, let alone you, Mother. Now, after hearing what my second sister-in-law said, we can also let go of our suspended hearts."

The atmosphere gradually became lively. After chatting with each other for some irrelevant words, Mrs. Shen left first, and Mrs. He and others sat for a while before they parted.

....................................................

Cui walked along the bluestone slab, and his eyes squinted over Meiyun next to him, thinking for a while, asking, "Did the Third Master rest in your place yesterday?"

Mei Yun quietly clenched his handkerchief and replied: "The Third Master went out of the mansion to watch the lights yesterday, but he came back drunk at the time of Yin. He fell asleep."

Cui smiled and said, "You are so panicked, I didn't say anything. It's a good thing that he likes you, and I'm happy for you."

Meiyun's face changed slightly. Just as she was about to explain, she saw the eldest wife He and Xichun standing under a wintersweet tree, as if waiting for them there.

As expected, as soon as he arrived, Xichun intimately pulled her up Yong'an Bridge to watch the koi play in the water, leaving He and Cui to talk alone.

He closed his smile and asked seriously: "What do you think about the third brother and sister in law when it comes to this matter?"

"What can I think?" Cui said in a lazy tone: "My sister-in-law and her mother both said that, and I think it must be nothing."

"The third brother and sister are really heartbroken." He sneered: "At the beginning of time, Xichun passed by the Second Master's study and saw the Jinyiwei, the officials of the Ministry of Justice and the military officials were pressing into a blockbuster. If nothing happened, how could so many people come to take the Second Master away? The second brother and sister's body was as strong as anything, and they could handle the years alone. Why did she faint as soon as the Second Master left? The old lady has always been tough, and when did she lose her composure today?"

Cui was a little impatient: "What did the sister-in-law want to say, don't keep it in a silence."

He showed deep sorrow on his face, and sighed sadly, "I went back to my parents' home in the New Year, and I heard that the Gu family, the right assistant minister of the Ministry of Revenue, was raided, and the one who was exiled, was exiled. The daughter of the Gu family entered the Jiaofangsi and ended in a very miserable situation, and more than his family were left. Now the second master has been taken away. If we really commit a crime, how can we escape the crime of killing Lian? Poor Qinglin Chun's examination is imminent, I was afraid of him... "It's hard to say if you choke and sobbing."

Cui was frightened when he heard it. He thought about what He said was a bit true. He didn't dare to think further. He comforted her and said, "Don't think about it randomly. The third master also has colleagues in the capital. If he asked him to inquire tomorrow, he would make a conclusion."

He then wiped his tears with a veil, thanked him, and called Xichun to walk towards Fushantang. Cui looked at the hazy full moon in the sky. No one could sleep well tonight.
