Mrs. Tai is really rich

Yesterday in Kyoto was a night full of fireworks. After a night of hustle and bustle, Kyoto this morning seemed to have returned to its former quietness and tranquility.

A cockcrow represents the beginning of a new day. The servant of Duke Yan's Mansion also yawned at this moment and opened the door of Duke Yan's Mansion. As soon as the door was opened, a bunch of uninvited guests were welcomed.

"Who are you? What's the important thing for you to come to the gate of Duke Yan's mansion so early?" asked the boy.

"We are from Jingzhao Mansion. Someone came to our Jingzhao Mansion this morning to beat drums and report the crime. They said that Miss Xie Yiyi from your mansion and Mr. Liang Liu from Baron Wenxuan's mansion deliberately beat Mr. Chen San from the residence of Chen Shilang last night. We After receiving the petition, I came here specifically to see Miss Xie Yiyi to learn about the case." As the servant of Jingzhao Mansion said, he handed the badge around his waist to the servant.

After the boy confirmed that the visitor's identity was correct, he said:

"Since it's the policeman, we should cooperate. Unfortunately, our master hasn't woken up yet. Everyone, please wait while I go call our master."

After saying that, the young man closed the door of Duke Yan's mansion and walked in with their badges to report the news.

Outside the gate of Duke Yan's Mansion

"Master, we are from the Jingzhao Mansion. Although the Duke of Yan is a powerful king, why do you dare to let us be rejected here?! You are still polite." A young servant said.

"Otherwise, what do you want?!" said the leading officer who came this time.

"If you ask me, we should go in directly and bring the person up. Our Jingzhao Mansion should not be afraid of power when doing things!" The young officer continued.

"What do you know?! Which one do you think is easier to mess with, Duke Yan's Mansion or Baron Wenxuan's Mansion? Do you want to go in and arrest people directly? What are you dreaming about? If we look back, if they are unhappy, our jobs will definitely be lost. You can’t tell, even the jobs of older adults like us won’t be able to be saved!”

"But...but..."

"But what, but, please use your brain, okay? Who doesn't know the reputation of Mr. Liang Liu in Kyoto? In the past, let alone a small minister, even a minister, no one would do it. Come to us and report the crime.”

"Now, there is such a big commotion. It seems that someone wants to use this matter to fight against the two families. Their big shots are fighting. What are we messing with? Just follow the rules!"

"Yes...Master, what you said makes sense..."

The Duke's Mansion of the State of Yan - Hefeng Hall

"Master! Master! Something bad has happened!" Zang Lan hurriedly ran in and said.

"Why are you in such a panic? Tell me slowly." Xie Ruqing sat next to Gu Ruosu. While picking up food for Gu Ruosu, she gave Cang Lan a look and said calmly.

"Master...Master...it's like this. Someone came from Jingzhao Mansion outside. They said that someone went to the door of Jingzhao Mansion to report the crime this morning. They said that it was Miss Yi from our family and Baron Wenxuan's Mansion last night. Young Master Liang Liu deliberately beat Young Master Chen Third, and he came to our house to express his intention. The lady is going to Jingzhao Mansion for questioning!"

"What!?" When Gu Ruosu heard this, he stood up immediately and didn't even notice that he had knocked over the porridge in his hand.

"Be careful!" Xie Ruqing immediately pulled Gu Ruosu away from the dining table, for fear that the bowl of hot porridge would burn Gu Ruosu.

"Didn't you say last night that we could solve this matter? Why are there still people here?! Did something go wrong?" Gu Ruosu said anxiously.

"Okay, don't worry too much. For this matter, I asked the boss to go to Chen Shilang's house on my behalf yesterday night. Chen Shilang made it clear last night that this matter is just a matter between several children. Small frictions don’t count, he won’t pursue them, and he won’t let his son pursue them.”

"Then why..."

"I think there must be some deviations in this. Perhaps others do not know the intentions of Chen Shilang's family, so they are smart enough to file a lawsuit against our family and Baron Wenxuan's Palace to the Jingzhao Palace."

"Then what should I do? I mean, it's a girl. If she goes to Jingzhao Mansion, the impact on her... will be huge." Gu Ruosu thought of the restrictions on women in this era and said with a frown.

"Don't worry, the soldiers will cover up the water and the earth. As long as I am here, I will not watch them take away the meaning. Not to mention taking it away. How did this paper get to Jingzhao Mansion? I will send it to Jingzhao Mansion." How can the person who got the petition take this petition back?" Xie Ruqing said firmly while patting Gu Ruosu's hand soothingly.

"Zang Lan, please ask me to invite the servants to the main hall, and then ask them to send a message to Chen Shilang's house. Finally, ask Yiyi to go and stay at Xiao Liu'er's place, and don't leave without my instructions." As Xie Ruqing said that, she started to pick up the clothes she was going to wear for going to court today from the hanger and put them on.

"Yes." Zanglan agreed quickly.

"I've met the Duke! His wife!"

A group of servants from the Jingzhao Mansion followed the servants from the Duke of Yan's Mansion with their hands and feet into the carved and decorated Duke of Yan's Mansion. They saw him sitting on the main seat in the magnificent main hall, wearing the highest-level court uniform of Dayong. Xie Ruqing, who was angry and proud, and Gu Ruosu, who was sitting on the other main seat and dressed in exquisite and gorgeous clothes.

Although this group of Jingzhao Mansion officers had seen many dignitaries on weekdays, when they saw the scene between the two of them, they couldn't help but lose their legs and knelt on the ground, saluting Xie Ruqing and Gu Ruosu.

"Every officer, please get up."

"Yes, thank you so much, Mr. Guo."

"I already know your purpose of coming. Logically speaking, as an official of the imperial court, I should cooperate well with Jingzhao Mansion." "The Duke of Guo really knows right from wrong. In this case, we would like to thank you..."

"However, I feel that there may be some hidden meaning and misunderstanding in this matter, so I forgive my country for not obeying my order." Xie Ruqing directly interrupted the officer and continued.

"Anything else hidden? The whole story, time and place on that piece of paper were clearly written down. Moreover, before we came to Duke Yan's Mansion and Baron Wenxuan's Mansion, we had already gone to look for the people who were there last night. A lot of people said it was true.”

"I think there should be no hidden secrets!" The young guard said as if he was a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers.

"Oh~ this young man, since you people from Jingzhao Mansion have sent people to ask everyone present last night about the ins and outs of the matter, then you should know where and why this matter started, and who is the culprit. , is it possible that you, Jingzhao Mansion, can't tell the difference?" Gu Ruosu said, looking at this young man who was full of passion.

"But...but the people who came to our Jingzhao Mansion to complain were the family of Mr. Chen San. We can only do what they said first. If there is any hidden secret in this, we just want to thank Miss Yi and Mr. Liang Liu for coming with us. It would be nice to have a public trial."

"The older we are, the more honest and upright we are, and our ability to resolve cases like a god, so we will definitely not slander anyone." The young officer continued despite his master's secret dissuasion.

"We don't believe in the greater the ability and integrity of people. However, there are still some villains in this world who like evil people to complain first..." Gu Ruosu snorted and said.

"I don't know, today, whether you came to our Duke Yan's Mansion or Baron Wenxuan's Mansion first?" Xie Ruqing handed the tea to Gu Ruosu's hand, and then asked the servants.

"This...we are going to Baron Wenxuan's Mansion first today..."

"Oh~ Really~ So Baron Wenxuan's Mansion has handed over the Sixth Young Master of the Liang Family, Zhang Yier, Zhang Putou?" Xie Ruqing stared at Zhang Putou who was standing at the front and accurately said his name. .

"This...this...Baron Wenxuan's Mansion...did not hand over the person...even...the door did not let us in..."

"Baron Wenxuan's Mansion just sent a servant to say that Mr. Liang Liu has not returned home since he left yesterday. If you want someone, let us... let us find it ourselves..." Zhang Yier half-hunched over , said rather embarrassedly.

"I see, then you might as well go find the sixth young master of the Liang family first. Anyway, my granddaughter will only recuperate at home and won't run around. When she finds him, it won't be too late to come to my house." Gu Ruosu said with a sneer.

"That's not possible. We have received orders from Jingzhao Mansion, so there is no reason to return empty-handed."

"Then what do you want to do? Is it possible that you need another patient to come to the court for you?"

"Exactly, isn't it just illness? There are many sick people in this world. They just have to go to court. I guess it won't cost your precious granddaughter too much energy... No matter what we do today..."

"Bold! You really think our family is easy to bully!" Gu Ruosu said, slapping the table in dissatisfaction.

"Baron Wenxuan's Mansion won't even let you in, but you don't dare to say anything, and you only dare to go home in despair. Although our Duke of Yan's Mansion is not as good as Baron Wenxuan's many famous families, we are not. Anyone can be bullied!"

"Everyone with a discerning eye knows about this matter. My granddaughter is the one who should be called out for injustice. If I say something harsh to Mr. Chen, it's just his own fault. But you don't distinguish between right and wrong."

"We, the Duke of Yan State, treat you with courtesy, but you still want to take our granddaughter away in front of us and ruin her reputation! What do you mean? Do you really think we are the best? The Duke of Yan is easy to bully!"

"With the power of Jingzhao Mansion, you are really doing great!"

Gu Ruosu pointed at the noses of these Jingzhao Mansion servants and said.

"Madam, please be patient. They are just following orders. We don't need to be so angry. They are just bullying others. Who wouldn't?"

"Today, with me here, I really want to see who can take someone away under my nose." Xie Ruqing stood up, helped Gu Ruosu back to the main seat, and said with a smile.

"Your Majesty! Madam Your Majesty! Please calm down. This is my new apprentice. He is not sensible yet. There will inevitably be some offense in his words. I hope that Your Majesty and Madam will be considerate. We have no intention of doing so." What do you mean by using your power to bully and look down on the Duke of Yan!"

Zhang Yier couldn't bear it and kicked his apprentice, who was being used by others without knowing it, to the ground. He bowed his body further and said in a careful tone.

"Zhang Putou doesn't need to be so nervous. You have been in Jingzhao Mansion for many years. I have heard about your character. It's just some small things. My wife and I will not really care about you." Xie Ruqing said lightly. .

"Besides, Mr. Guo and I also understand the difficulties you face, Zhang Putou. They are all part of our responsibilities. There is nothing offensive or offensive. Just now, my tone was a little more intense. Zhang Putou Don't be offended." Gu Ruosu understood Xie Ruqing's eyes and said with a smile.

"Yes, yes... thank you, Mr. Guo and Madam, for your understanding."

"You're welcome. In order to properly resolve this matter, we directly invited the rightful owner of the matter to you. Look, isn't this person here~" Gu Ruosu said, pointing to a man who was following him in the distance. His slave kept saying to a middle-aged man running here.

Suddenly, everyone's eyes instantly turned to the direction Gu Ruosu was pointing. After the figure slowly grew from small to large, from far away to near, they realized that the person who came was none other than Chen Sangong's father, Chen Shilang. ...(End of chapter)
