Chapter 223 Falling into the Mire or Being Broken to pieces
Yun Xi could only take this opportunity to come to the study.

Xie Heng usually indulges her, allowing her to come and go in and out of the study at will, but in fact, all the important documents and secrets are put away.

Outside there is Qi Chi who is always on guard, watching her every move, she can't act rashly at all.

Yun Xixu closed the door, recalling what Gu Junyan said to her earlier in his mind, "He was promoted so fast, and the Changning Marquis's government suppressed him several times in secret, but he couldn't hold back his momentum. I'm afraid there are many people behind his back to support him. Forming cliques for personal gain, collusion between officials and officials, this is the most taboo thing for a sage.”

Too young, too eager for success, too capable and ambitious, will attract the wind.

There are many people in the court hall who are looking forward to his fall from the high platform, and Gu Junyan is just one of them.

"I'll give you the roster and account books." Yunxi raised her eyes and looked at Gu Junyan, "What will happen to him?"

Gu Junyan asked her back, "Miss Yunxi, what do you think will happen to him?"

Bogged down or shattered?

Yun Xi lowered his eyes and remained silent.

The furnishing of the study is the same as in Xie's mansion before, she used to go in and out frequently, so she is very familiar with it.

I just don't know where the dark grid is.

Yunxi walked along the grid of the book compartment layer by layer, and finally touched the protruding mechanism in the third row on the innermost side. With a light push, the sandalwood box hidden in the book compartment was revealed come out.

Open it, and there are indeed rosters and current account books inside.

Yun Xi flipped through it slightly.

Xie Heng entered Hanlin and entered the cabinet, his official career was smooth and he was favored.Outsiders all say that he is an upright, uncommon, and unparalleled romantic Tan Hua Lang.Only this sandalwood box records the darkness of his officialdom in the court.

A person in a high position, how can he keep his sleeves clean and stay away from it.What's more, he is greedy for fame and fortune, more so than others, becoming more and more unscrupulous.

The full roster and books are all evidence of his bribery and collusion with officials.The amount of money is so large that it is staggering.

Yunxi didn't dare to look at it carefully, and hid the register and account book in his bosom.

Just as he was about to close the sandalwood box, he saw something still inside.

Thin sheets of paper.

It is a green bamboo paper-cut.

Over time, the color of the rice paper has faded by half, turning slightly yellow.This was the year when she first entered Yangxia Xie Mansion, she cut it with her own hands and sent it to him.

At that time, it was just for courteousness, so it may not have been a lot of thought.But he didn't expect that he kept it carefully until today, and put it together with the register and account book tied to his wealth and life.

It is false to say that there is no ripple in my heart, but it is only fleeting.

Yun Xi closed the sandalwood box without any emotion in his eyes.

Up to now, there is no room for change between him and her.

Gu Junyan was also in Xie's mansion today, and he accompanied Xie Shuang to the banquet.When Yunxi went to look for Xie Shuang, he handed over the register and account book to him.

Gu Junyan looked at the roster in his hand, and his smile was a bit inexplicable, "Fortunately, I have never offended the girl, otherwise, according to the girl's temperament of vengeance, I am afraid that my life will not be saved."

Then he deliberately asked her, "Won't the girl regret it? I heard from Shuang'er that you are planning to get married. The wife of the cabinet who is about to be handed has countless glory and wealth, and the girl just gives up like this?"

Yun Xi thought he was noisy, so he gave him a cold look, turned and left without saying a word.

After getting the roster, Gu Junyan was also inconvenient to stay in Xie's mansion for a long time, so he found an excuse to take Xie Shuang back to the mansion.

Gu Heng and Yun Xi came to see them off, watching their family of four enjoying themselves, watching the carriage go away.
