The girl who wears fast

Chapter 56 The Prime Minister's Tool Man Stepwife (56)

When Zhong Xuran left the inn the next day, he came to bid farewell on purpose. Xu Shichu had no intention of making friends with officials, so he just met him by chance and didn't take it to heart.

But she didn't know that after Zhong Xuran returned to Beijing to finish handling the case, she went to the prime minister's mansion with a gift to thank her.

It just so happened that on this day, Luo Yaqing went back to her mother's house because of a quarrel with Zhou Wencun, so she met Zhong Xuran at the door.

Luo Yaqing, who had just got off the carriage, saw a tall, tall man with a tall, tall figure and handsome appearance who was respectfully welcomed into the mansion by the housekeeper, so she asked the porter, "Who is that person who just walked in?"

She was inexplicably concerned.

The concierge replied: "That person is Mr. Zhong, the chief inspector of the prison in Beijing. He came here specially to visit the master today."

"Lord Zhong?" Luo Yaqing read these three words in a low voice. For some reason, a sense of aggrieved irritability rose in her heart. With an unknown anger, she frowned, "What's the matter with him coming to visit my father?" ?”

"The little one doesn't know." The porter replied.

Luo Yaqing simply ignored him and went into the mansion.

"Your official is taking the liberty to come to the door, please forgive me." Zhong Xuran cupped his hands to Luo Changqing, "A few days ago, my official was injured while handling a case in another place, and happened to meet Mrs. Luo at the inn, and Mrs. Luo gave me the wound medicine Officer, ordering the subordinate officials to return to the capital safely and soundly, all subordinate officials should come to visit and thank you.”

Zhong Xuran is an upright person and has always been impatient with those twists and turns, so he directly explained the reason for coming to Luo Changqing clearly.

Luo Changqing was a little surprised. After Xu Shichu left Beijing, he seemed to have disappeared. He didn't even think about sending a message back to the prime minister's mansion, so he had no idea that Xu Shichu and Zhong Xuran had met at the inn.

"It's just a small effort, and my wife must not have taken this matter to heart, Mr. Zhong doesn't have to come here to thank you so solemnly." Luo Changqing said calmly.

"Madam Luo is kind, but this official can't take her kindness for granted. After all, if there is no medicine for Madam Luo, the official may lose half his life and even leave hidden dangers when he returns to Beijing. so healthy?

If Mrs. Luo comes back, Xiaguan would like to thank her again in person. Last time at the post station, Xiaguan wanted to reciprocate. There is no condition. Now that I return to Beijing, I can only send some small thank you gifts. I don’t know if it is inconvenient for Xiaguan to send Luo in person lady? "

Zhong Xuran said generously.

Luo Changqing was stunned for a moment, and then replied: "My wife is still out of town, and hasn't returned to Beijing."

Zhong Xuran didn't expect that Xu Shichu didn't come back, but he didn't think too much about it, he just said to Luo Changqing: "It's really a coincidence, when Mrs. Luo comes back, please ask Luo Xiang to convey the thanks of the next official and these things to her Thank you."

The thank you gift was for Xu Shichu, Luo Changqing couldn't help her refuse, so he nodded in agreement.

Luo Changqing saw Zhong Xuran's good looks, and his words showed maturity and stability, so he had a good impression of this young official.

After talking about Xu Shichu, he and Zhong Xuran talked about the cases in the Department of Prisons. Investigating cases is Zhong Xuran's strong point, and Luo Changqing is a sensible person, so the two chatted unexpectedly It's speculation, but when it comes to certain points of view, they are surprisingly consistent.

Luo Changqing admired Zhong Xuran even more, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, if he still had a daughter, wouldn't it be a good match for his son-in-law to recruit him as his son-in-law?
He didn't know that his dream had come true in his previous life, and Zhong Xuran had really become his son-in-law, but he just missed it in this life.

Because they had a good chat, when Zhong Xuran was leaving, he still took the opportunity to send him to the door of the study.

Luo Yaqing happened to come over from her sister-in-law to find her father, so she had a face-to-face with Zhong Xuran who came out. When she saw Zhong Xuran's appearance, she felt that she had seen him somewhere, so she stared at him.

As soon as Zhong Xuran saw that the person was a young woman, she quickly lowered her head and narrowed her eyes, politely did not look at her again, then said goodbye to Luo Changqing and left.

"Father, that man is that Mr. Zhong? What kind of official is he? He is arrogant, please send him off yourself!" Luo Yaqing saw that the man didn't even look at him, and kept away from him, as if As if I hated myself, I felt very uncomfortable inside.

The jewel in the palm of her majestic prime minister, she is young and beautiful. Is that Zhong Zhong blind? She has no interest in herself at all!
Luo Yaqing had just had a quarrel with her husband and was in a bad mood. Just when she doubted her charm, she happened to meet Zhong Xuran who "avoided her" and became even more annoyed.

But she couldn't find a reason to get angry. She couldn't say that it was wrong for people to ignore her, could she?So he got angry for an excuse.

Luo Changqing sighed, and said: "At a young age, he is a prison officer with real power in his hands. He has a promising future in the future. He is a talented person, and he is calm and calm... If you are not married, he is a must-see." Such a beloved man, what a pity!"

After he finished speaking, he realized that what he said was not appropriate, so he quickly changed the subject and asked his daughter: "You are back, have you met your brother and sister-in-law?"

Luo Yaqing replied absent-mindedly: "I have seen it."

She is still thinking about what her father said, if she married Mr. Zhong just now, would everything be different?

Her heart began to fluctuate, and after having this thought, she couldn't hold back any longer. Her father praised Mr. Zhong well, and he didn't look sideways when he saw him, the opposite sex. He didn't take a second look. A lecherous person, such a man can keep himself clean, right?
The more Luo Yaqing thought about it, the more she couldn't calm down. Why did she quarrel with Zhou Wencun this time?It was because he knew that he was secretly having an affair with his dowry maid, and he kept telling her that it was because she was jealous. If it wasn't for her jealousy and not arranging intercourse for her husband, he would have to hire a woman who was sneaky. of it?

But Luoya clearly still remembered that when he asked to marry him, he promised that there would be only her as a woman, but now he has backtracked, as if the oath of disobedience had never been said.

Even if he didn't want to admit it, Luo Yaqing actually regretted it in his heart. He was coaxed away by Zhou Wencun's sweet words, and he didn't listen to his father and brother's words, and let himself fall into the mud pit of Shunyi Palace.

Since marrying into the palace, she realized how beautiful life was when she was not out of the court. However, when she married, she was disliked by her mother-in-law, calculated by her sister-in-law, and said by her husband that she was petty and jealous... She was getting more and more haggard every day, Like a delicate flower that has been broken by a violent storm, it has no power to resist.

"Why is your face so ugly? Are you having a bad time in the Shunyi Palace? Zhou Wencun didn't take good care of you?" Seeing her daughter's haggard and pale face, Luo Changqing couldn't help frowning and asked.

"No..." Luo Yaqing still wanted to deny it, but when she saw her father's knowing eyes, her eyes turned sour, and she almost shed tears, "Zhou Wencun said that I was the only woman, but he and my servant girl kept secrets, Dad, I don't agree..."
