All the ancestors in the capital begged me to be a substitute

Chapter 36 Hot Potatoes
As soon as Shen Ji's voice came over, before entering the room, Liu Si seemed to notice something, and suddenly changed his expression.

"Girl, that person is here again. I, I can't bear it, so I hide for a while." After Liu Si finished speaking anxiously, he ran away through the wall.

He spoke too hastily and ran so fast that the magpie didn't even understand what was going on.

When she looked at Shen Lingxi and was about to ask, Shen Ji had already led someone into the room.

"what!!!!"

Shen Lingxi only heard the magpie scream, and then saw her being thrown from the roof like a ball by a force.

The screams gradually became inaudible from near to far.

The room was finally quiet.

Needless to say, it's still... quite cool.

Shen Lingxi didn't suppress the smile on the corner of her lips, her clear eyes looked behind Shen Ji——
I saw Mu Huai'an in official uniform, and beside him was a man in black clothes and dressed as a guard.

The man was tall and straight, his eyes were indifferent and solemn, and his aura was a little frightening.

But the appearance is mediocre, just looking at him.

Shen Lingxi is good at burying corpses, so it's easy to change her face, and she can tell at a glance that the other party has a human skin mask on her face.

If it weren't for the magpie being thrown out like this.

Shen Lingxi may not be able to recognize it, this is the one who disappeared for a few days, His Royal Highness the Duke of the Great Zhou——Chu Yan.

Last time he pretended to be a Confucian scholar, and this time he pretended to be a cold-faced guard.

It has to be said that this man has accurately grasped the temperament of each appearance.

I don't know what his purpose is for coming to Xuanpinghou's mansion in disguise.

Seeing Shen Lingxi smiling at him, Mu Huaian also laughed.

He was born handsome, and his peach blossom eyes were born with three-pointed love. With such a smile, against the backdrop of the crimson official uniform, he had more of the vigor of a "young man in fresh clothes and angry horse".

Mrs. Wang's eyes turned back and forth on the faces of the two of them, feeling very relieved.

She had written a book to the ancestor of the Mu family, revealing that she wanted to make the two into a couple, and the other party also had this intention.

Now it's just a matter of finding a suitable opportunity to confront the two of them, and after asking them what they mean, the Mu family will choose a day to come to propose marriage.

Everyone in the room greeted each other and sat down.

Chu Yan, who was pretending to be a bodyguard, stood directly behind Mu Huai'an.

Mu Huai'an's status in front of him had never been so "noble" before, it was like sitting on pins and needles, and he couldn't take the initiative to greet him for a while.

In order to avoid the awkward situation, Shen Ji saw Shen Lingxi standing by the side with a piece of paper in his hand, knowing that she had been with the ancestor these days, making some strange things to please the ancestor, so he smiled and asked casually, "Just now?" What were you talking about when I came in?"

At critical moments, this half-way father always acts like this.

Shen Lingxi intentionally showed a little embarrassment, and glanced at Mrs. Wang.

"It doesn't matter." Mrs. Wang is open-minded in her heart, and she will not hide it intentionally, let alone now that she regards Mu Huai'an as her grandson-in-law, "Hui'an is not an outsider, if there is any problem with the warehouse accounts, you can just say it."

Chu Yan raised his eyebrows slightly, isn't he considered an outsider?
Mu Huai'an still couldn't care less about being happy, and suddenly felt a chill on the back of his neck.

He remembered that he lied to the person behind him yesterday, saying that the marriage between the two families was "on hold", and he felt even colder on the back of his neck.

And Shen Ji, who was opposite them, just wanted to give himself a slap in the face.

Whoops, my goodness.How could he start such a conversation.

A young minister of Dali Temple, and the one behind him... It doesn't look like a real guard in terms of temperament, and he is still wearing embroidered clothes to disguise himself.

In front of these two people, talk about the accounts of the treasury, if there is anything, is it necessary to give the head to the Yamen for nothing?
"Fifth girl." Shen Jiqing coughed, "The accounts in this warehouse are not in a hurry, why not..."

How could Shen Lingxi give him a chance to get along with Si Ni? Pointing to the entry on the paper, she opened her mouth to tell the reason.

"Four months ago, when Liu Si was on duty at night in the warehouse, my second uncle took away a brocade box. The catalog said 'kesi pine and crane fan', but I heard from Zhao's mother that Liu Si accidentally dropped it. I opened the box, and what fell out of the box was a cut embroidered handkerchief."

"Zhao's mother said that Liu Si was thinking that the warehouse manager had made a mistake and wanted to check it out, but the second uncle said that there was nothing wrong, and this was it, so he took the things away."

As soon as these words came out, Shen Liang straightened his back, his face was as calm as water, except for the lame foot, subconsciously stood on tiptoe, and looked calm.

But Mrs. Wang's complexion changed a few times.

Hearing the word "embroidered handkerchief", Shen Ji remembered Shen Lingxi's words yesterday, widened his eyes, and subconsciously looked at Mu Huai'an.

Mu Huai'an had never heard of the "embroidered handkerchief", but Shen Lingxi's letter told him to "cooperate", so he must do his best to cooperate.

Sensing Shen Ji's gaze, he picked up the cup of tea in his hand with a blank expression, and took a sip leisurely, as if everything was under his control and he was confident.

Shen Ji felt guilty because of his intimidation, and subconsciously said: "It's normal to make mistakes in the warehouse. Your second uncle is kind-hearted and can't bear to criticize his subordinates harshly. He just took the things away when he made a mistake. There is nothing worth talking about."

"Father said so." Shen Lingxi pretended not to notice the strangeness of the crowd, and her face was a little bit embarrassed, "But this 'kesi pine and crane fan' is a gift from the emperor, how dare you neglect it?"

Imperial gift.

The corner of Shen Ji's mouth twitched, no one dared to fan the wind with the imperial fan.

Shen Lingxi smiled and looked at Shen Liang, "Second Uncle has taken away the fan for four months, and I haven't seen this fan in other warehouses. The records don't match. That's why I came to ask Second Uncle today. How should I fill in this record. Should I write 'embroidered handkerchief' or a round fan? If it is a round fan, if the imperial gift is lost or destroyed, it is a crime of deceiving the emperor..."

In front of Shaoqing of Dali Temple, I will throw this hot potato to you, and see if you can handle it.

The expression on Shen Liang's face froze, he quickly thought about how to speak——
"The round fan is with me." Mrs. Wang suddenly raised her hand and pointed to the Bogu shelf on the west wall, "It's in the leftmost drawer. Erlang went to get the fan and asked the fifth girl to take it back into storage."

Shen Liang hurriedly responded.

With a slightly invisible look on his face, he relaxed a little, and the lame foot that had unconsciously stood on tiptoe also fell down safely.Walking briskly towards the ancient shelf, she took out a brocade box from the drawer.

Seeing this, Shen Lingxi confirmed two things.

First, the ancestors really didn't know about this matter.

Second, now that I know, the ancestors want to protect Shen Liang.

But since Shen Lingxi invited Mu Huai'an here, and also presented a commanding envoy in embroidered clothes, how could she let this opportunity go.

She took the brocade box, confirmed that the round fan inside was correct, and said with a smile: "This will match."

Mrs. Wang, Shen Liang and Shen Ji all secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

However, the next moment——
Shen Lingxi walked to the table, put down the brocade box, picked up the embroidery frame that had been embroidered with a few stitches, flipped it over, embroidered a few more stitches quickly on it, and outlined a rough outline.

She walked up to Shen Liang again, smiled flatteringly and said: "Mother Zhao said that the square embroidered handkerchief that my second uncle took away by mistake that day was uniquely embroidered. It was double embroidered on one side, with mountains on the front and water on the back. The second uncle Look, is it like the one I embroidered? If the second uncle doesn't mind, take out the embroidered handkerchief, I can repair it and restore it to its original state, okay?"
