The battle of wits and courage between Li Hui and Yan Yunchen began at this moment, but fortunately after he took office at the Ministry of Household Affairs, he stayed far away from the palace except when he went to court when necessary.

Just like being a governor in the north, you leave early and come back late every day. Sometimes you even take your official duties directly home and let Cheng Xue help you with them. When calculating accounts, you use a pen to calculate and I use an abacus. After the calculation is completed, they switch over and compare the final calculation.

Only after Cheng Xue helped him settle accounts did he realize that Hubu was even worse than the northern border.

Not only are the accounts in a mess, there are also old accounts from five years ago. It can be said that the current Northern Governor Yin did not work at all when he was a doctor in the Ministry of Accounts. Now Li Hui comes to help him clean up the mess.

Naturally, the two of them would not tolerate him. Whenever there was a problem, they would mark it with cinnabar and circle it. If there was no problem, they would circle it with cinnabar. Then the next day, Li Hui would go to the household department to report it.

Even though the Minister of Hubu and the Minister of Hubu repeatedly told him not to deal with the old accounts, he just circled them and reported them. The first time he reported it to the Minister of Hubu, the second time he reported it to the Minister of Hubu, and then he handed the paper directly to the imperial study.

Since everyone misunderstood that he was the emperor's man, he simply made the misunderstanding true and wanted him to be a scapegoat, no way!
For a time, Li Hui made the quiet household department into a mess. Cheng Xue was not much better at home. People frequently posted messages, and some came directly to complain.

Of course, this is also mindless.

Half a month passed, and it snowed for the first time this year in Beijing.

Cheng Xue also entertained five groups of ladies who came to deliver messages. She clearly remembered the time and what was said every day.

Someone from the Ministry of Finance invited someone to have a drink that night, but Li Hui couldn't resist going. After hearing Chang Sui's report, Cheng Xue got into the small kitchen and stewed radish and mutton.

Simmer over low heat so he can eat it when he comes back.

"Madam, the young master will be back on New Year's Eve this year."

Cheng Xue shook her head gently, looked at Bai Wei, smiled, and said:
"Be prepared when he comes back. If he doesn't come back, it's just that he has more stuff, so it's fine. Your father-in-law should be leaving soon."

"Madam, it should be." Bai Wei replied.

Every year after the twelfth lunar month, Li Zhong would bring his account books and things to report the accounts. Father and son, father and daughter can also meet each other.

Now there are two big ones here in the capital, Tiandong and Bai Shao, Bai Zhi and Li Tian have left, Tianma and Li Heng are on a mission, but there is no news so far.

"By the way, Bai Wei, when are you and Tiandong going to have a baby?"

When it came to personal issues, Bai Wei's face suddenly turned red.

"Madam, this slave... I haven't thought about this yet."

Cheng Xue saw her shyness, smiled and waved her hands, saying:
"I have to think about it. How about starting spring next year? Then your mother-in-law can come and take care of her when she gives birth in winter."

Bai Wei felt it was reliable after hearing this, nodded and said:

"Yes, I will listen to my wife."

Cheng Xue saw that there was nothing that needed her here, so she sent her people back to rest, and she stayed here guarding the small pottery stove.

Waiting until 2:00, there were footsteps outside. Cheng Xue got up and came out of the kitchen, smiling at Li Hui who was blushing.

"Drank too much?"

"No, I behaved well." After Li Hui finished speaking, he pulled her into his arms affectionately and held her tightly.

This means he drank too much. Although the more he drank, the more sober he became, but his behavior was very clingy, especially to her.

"How many of you drank? How much did you drink?"

"They all went, there were five tables in total, and I lost ten taels of silver." Li Hui curled his lips unhappily. "Why did you lose ten taels? Didn't Liu Bosen, the Minister of Household Affairs, treat you to dinner?"

Just as he was talking, Hongyu came in with mutton in a pot.

Seeing Dexi's eyes shining, Cheng Xue smiled and winked at Hongyu, then served Li Hui some meat and soup.

Soon, Hongyu brought in another pair of bowls and chopsticks, and she filled a bowl for Dexi.

"Eat it. After stewing for an hour, the radish will melt."

"Thank you, madam." Dexi thanked him, took it with both hands, and went to the table outside to eat.

Li Hui ate three bowls in a row, burped with satisfaction and said:
"He was inviting me to a meal, but his purpose in serving the meal was not pure. It was to serve the full-moon wine for his son."

son?

I remember that Mrs. Liu just came home the day before yesterday, and she was the only lady who came home and only chatted about family matters, without delivering any messages. It's just that she looked bad that day, probably because of this bastard.

Although she has not had any social interactions since coming to Beijing, she has people in her hands, and each of them is better at finding out information than the last. Not only did she know about all the wealthy families in the capital, but she also knew about them. Liu Shilang and his wife have been married for more than ten years. Except for the first two years when Mrs. Liu gave birth to two daughters, there has been no movement in her stomach so far.

It’s no wonder that Liu Berson was so grand and established in a restaurant.

"Then has the child been adopted into the name of the first wife?"

"No, but Dexi inquired and found out that the concubine's biological mother is from the Gu family. They are like a nest of snakes and rats." After Li Hui finished complaining, he got up and went out to take a bath.

Cheng Xue asked Hongyu to put away the table and got on the kang to spread the bedding.

legitimate son, concubine, wife, concubine.

This is not new in the capital. Fortunately, their back house is clean and Li Yue's side has temporarily stopped. As for whether Yan Yixin will raise a child or raise a wife in the future, we can only say that he won't know if they are alive, but it will depend on Li Yue's ability if they are gone. But the little girl should be fine. Even if something happens, she has such a large dowry and can live on her own after divorce.

Uh……

I'm just thinking nonsense again, I'm really speechless.

Li Hui came back from bathing. After the two lay down, Cheng Xue asked:

"When are you going to use that book?"

"Don't worry, the seal will be given a few days ago. After the provincial seal, everyone has nothing to do."

After hearing his answer, Cheng Xue laughed and scolded him as "evil" and then lay in his arms obediently.

Li Hui hugged her contentedly and breathed a sigh of relief:
"After the book is handed over, the Gu family will be investigated. If everything goes well, the Su family will also be investigated. Then the old case will be uncovered."

"When I find out, I will go to the palace with my jade pendant to complain. Although this body was still young at that time, since he is not the murderer of her, let's recognize him. But there is one thing, if he mentions adoption to you You must not agree to the matter."

Li Hui was stunned when he heard this. He looked at her as if she were a little fool and asked:
"How can you think so?"

"There are a lot of scenes like this in Internet articles, okay?" Cheng Xue said while giving him a "you're so stupid" look, "Why do you think he is so good to the Xiao family and so indulgent to Xiao Qinglin? Let me tell you , this means that Xiao Qinglin is of the same sex as him, otherwise you just watch, I will definitely enter the palace and become the queen."

The more Li Hui listened, the more outrageous he became, and finally he simply said:
"Okay, okay, you're awesome, everything you said is right."

As soon as she finished speaking, she turned over and covered her lips to prevent her from saying anything violent... (End of Chapter)
