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

Chapter 68
Beiya.

Chun Jun hadn't had a full night's sleep for several days.

Either they are interrogating prisoners, or they are sorting out files.

The eye sockets are black and blue, and the spirit is listless.

He found that since he came back from the Heming Tower that day, his master's face became more and more gloomy.

The direct consequence is that all the cases handled by the Bei Ya in the past few days are handled according to Zhou's top rules.

In just a few days, there were hundreds of officials who were dismissed and investigated in the court.

All the members of the Changsheng Temple will be hanged.

Only Shen Liang, who never participated in it, escaped death by chance.

However, as an accomplice who concealed and refused to report, he was fined to be exiled for three thousand miles and not allowed to return to Beijing for life.

But with Shen Liang's current body, he might not even be able to walk a hundred miles, so he died.

Chunjun felt that if he continued to live like this, he would die soon, and his time was numbered.

Holding a booklet in his hand, he carefully asked for instructions, "Your Highness, tomorrow is the big day for Mu Shaoqing and Miss Shen, should we prepare some congratulatory ceremony?"

It was also on the day when the Empress Empress issued a decree that Chun Jun knew about the relationship between Mu Shaoqing and Miss Shen.

Thinking of the various reactions of the previous master, I vaguely figured out some meaning.

what can he doHe has to save himself.

Chu Yan paused for a moment, his stern eyebrows were as distant and indifferent as before, and nothing unusual could be seen.

"You just go to the warehouse to pick up two and send them over. You don't need to ask Gu for instructions on this kind of thing."

Chun Jun responded, and asked again after contemplating, "Miss Shen..."

"Why?" Chu Yan looked up at him with a cold gaze, "Gu and her just met by chance, not even friends, why rush to give gifts."

In the indifferent tone, there was an indescribable meaning.

"What this subordinate is talking about is not about giving gifts..." Chun Jun felt embarrassed for his master, "It's this list."

He handed the booklet in his hand to Chu Yan, and asked in embarrassment: "Didn't Miss Shen ask us to help solve the compensation for the victims of the Longevity Temple? A notice will be issued soon, and the subordinates will take the embroidered clothes Here, the people who are in contact with each other from all over the world have compiled a roster, which was originally intended to be handed over to Miss Shen, so whether this matter is still done, this roster...is it still handed over?"

Chu Yan's writing didn't stop, and he distanced himself coldly, "The person she entrusted is you, not Gu. Besides, if you promise something to someone else, do you go back on your word?"

"It really hasn't happened before." Chun Jun smiled, "This subordinate will send it to Miss Shen, a 'meeting by chance', and it should be regarded as a congratulatory gift to Miss Shen."

After all, he made a gesture to take the booklet back——
"Wait." Chu Yan frowned, "You are a lonely person, and when she gets married, you go to give a congratulatory gift. If others find out, wouldn't it make people think that being lonely is interesting to her? Don't go."

"This..." Chun Jun looked surprised, "Your Highness has never met Miss Shen in her real identity, so it should be... no one would have thought of this."

Chu Yan stopped writing, threw the accidentally written wrong words aside, and then raised his eyes, "I have to think about this matter again, you should put the booklet here first. If you have nothing to do, go to A visit to the household department, the money for this pension should be paid out of the dirty money that was confiscated by the Changsheng Temple, if you can’t get the money, don’t come back.”

Chun Jun: ...

Longevity!
This is what kind of errand I found for myself. If I want to deal with those iron roosters in the household department, I might as well stay in Beiya!

The day before the big wedding, night falls.

After all, Mama An suffered from Shen Lingxi. Even though Marquis Xuan Ping sent her hidden guards with strong martial arts skills, she still decided to outwit rather than attack.

She drugged her meals, and asked the hidden guard to blow smoke into the room through the window.

Let alone a little girl, even if there are ten cows in the house, she will keep them sleeping for three days and three nights without waking up.

The carriage carried Shen Lingxi, who was unconscious, and with Xuan Pinghou's badge, went out of the city overnight to the villa of the Hou Mansion in the west of the city.

Shen Lingxi was imprisoned in the most remote attic of Zhuangzi. There were hidden guards sent by Xuan Pinghou to guard downstairs. It was true that even a mosquito could not fly out, let alone Shen Lingxi.

However, Shen Lingxi didn't plan to go out either.

The attic is unoccupied for a long time, hot and humid.

Shen Lingxi opened her eyes, sat up from the bed, lit the oil lamp with a torch, took out a dilapidated round fan, and opened the window to breathe.

Outside the window, there is a large pond.

As far as the moonlight can vaguely see, the lotus in the pond has decayed a lot.

"Meow...meow..."

The cat's dead soul was always by Shen Lingxi's side.

Suddenly, it seemed to have discovered something, jumped onto the window sill, arched its back, and looked at somewhere downstairs with a vigilant expression, and let out a threatening "wow" sound from its throat.

Shen Lingxi didn't turn her head, and asked in a low voice, "Is someone watching me?"

"Meow."

Shen Lingxi was thoughtful.

She never looked in the direction indicated by the cat, and fanned herself, pretending to be leisurely.

"Meow...meow..."

About half an hour later, it seemed that the crisis was resolved, the cat's back was flattened, completely relaxed, rolled up, lying on the window sill, and closed its eyes.

Seeing its appearance, Shen Lingxi knew that the spy had left, so she turned her head and looked in that direction.

Under the bright moonlight, there was no one there, except for a few jugs, which seemed to be telling others that someone had been here...

One night, Shen Lingxi didn't sleep well.

The pond outside the window has not been taken care of for a long time, and there is a faint smell of mud. The attic has only been roughly cleaned, and there is dust and musty smell everywhere.

Even she, who has never been considered picky, felt a little unbearable.

It should be that after the ancestors handed over all the private property to her, in order to reduce the cost, the Xuanping Hou Mansion halved the manpower of these villas. Naturally, the daily maintenance and cleaning of the villas can be saved as much as possible.

If it continues like this, the glamorous appearance of Xuanping Hou Mansion will not last long.

Xiao An has been a puppet under the hands of his ancestors for more than ten years, and he has long been used to being pampered.

He only learns to control his subordinates and save money, and he just waits for the old ancestors to allocate money to the big house all year round, and then distributes the money according to the proportion to live.

Needless to say, Shen Ji has never worried about money matters, nor has he ever thought about it. Now, he just feels sorry for the loss of his family property.

I'm afraid he didn't fully realize what the loss of his ancestor's money really meant to him.

If he had really realized that, if he attacked last night, it wouldn't be as simple as just knocking Shen Lingxi into a daze and throwing him into the Biezhuang.

If you use insidious means, even the patriarch will be helpless.

Shen Lingxi felt that she could no longer spend time in this mansion and get entangled with her half-way father.

Although Shen Ji couldn't do anything to her, but she couldn't do anything to Shen Ji for a while.

She also wanted to find some of Shen Ji's faults and solve them once and for all.

But this father has the grace to save the emperor's life.

Apart from not repairing the inner curtain, he was cautious outside and loyal to the emperor, and he really didn't make any big mistakes.

Even if it was about pretending Shen Yuyao, an outsider girl, as his concubine's daughter, he went through the road in front of the emperor.

Although a person is stupid, he is loyal, and the emperor relies heavily on him.

Shen Lingxi originally had a plan to get rid of this half-way father once and for all.

But that day in Heming Tower, she was shaken again.

It's really...not easy.

The sky outside the window had already turned pale, and in another hour, it would be the auspicious time for the wedding as calculated by Qin Tian.

At this moment, Xuanpinghou's mansion must be full of guests and friends, beaming with joy.

Shen Lingxi was lying on the bed, too lazy to get up, with her eyes open, letting herself think aimlessly——
"what……"

Suddenly, there were screams from downstairs.

"Meow..."

The cat lying on her bed seemed to have discovered something, stood up abruptly, and ran downstairs excitedly...
