Chapter 300 What to Want

"How's Joe?" she asked.

"It's still the same." Aunt Pei said. "It seems to be holding its own so far."

Shen Xi didn't say anything more.

If Shen Yan wanted to fight against Qiao, she could only borrow strength from Shen Chongguang.When the relationship between their father and daughter improves, Qiao will naturally be unable to hold back.

A concubine who doesn't even have a son, if she can be favored by her husband, she should live her life in peace, and she wants to jump up and down in the Shen family, isn't she thinking too much of herself?

It is only serious to find a down-to-earth woman to come in to serve after she has revealed her flaws and cleaned up the third room, and let Shen Chongguang wake up.

"I won't go out for a few days. Tomorrow, ask Qi Jiu to guard the door. If you see anyone, catch them and let me ask them!" she said.

Right now, she and Xiao Huai haven't caught any flaws in Han Dun, so they can't let their people get ahead at this moment.

But unexpectedly, Qi Jiu kept watch for a whole day the next day and found no more suspicious persons.

Shen Xi thought about it, then asked her to inquire about Ji's.

After the Ji family was divorced, she couldn't return to Ji's house, and she didn't have much money left. Fortunately, Shen Chongguang bought her a small house in Liu'er Hutong for the sake of his son and daughter.

The two servants who followed her originally also stayed, and also gave her a shop to make a living.

With such an arrangement, Shen Xi didn't have much to say.

After Qi Jiu came back from Liu'er Hutong, he said that there was nothing unusual.Ji swears and curses every day, doesn't go out, and no one comes to look for her.

Shen Xi couldn't figure it out.

At this time, the only people who might want to deal with Shen Chongguang are those in the Ministry of Rites, to be precise, it should be Wen Yuanzheng and his like.

According to what she knew about his position so far, if he wanted to use Ji's being suspended to restrain Shen Chongguang, it would be nothing more than exposing the family's ugliness and making the Shen family lose face.

Then, by the way, harm the daughter of the third house, and be more vicious. At most, she will be harmed as well, so that King Yan will hate the Shen family...

What else could they do?
But if they want to do this, the most direct way for them is to find Mrs. Ji, and they definitely have a way to get Mrs. Ji to reveal the truth.

And they have never been there, why is this?
She always felt a little unbalanced.

After dinner, Zhu Zhen took out Ji Peng's confession and looked at it. All the confessions were enough to make the Ji family and the Ji family unable to turn over.

He, Wen Yuanzheng, is the servant of the Ministry of Rites, if he really wants to attack Shen Chongguang, he shouldn't just take his anger out on the Shen family's reputation, after all, even if this incident really breaks out, it is impossible for Xiao Huai not to let her go!

So what exactly is he going to do?
Or is it simply that she is too suspicious?

When Shen Chongguang returned home, she still went to Xiexiangyuan to meet him.

"Does Third Uncle know anything about this?"

Shen Chongguang was silent for a moment, and said: "I only know that Wen Yuanzheng was summoned by the Queen Mother to scold him because of the palace banquet earlier, and it seems that the scolding was not light.

"Wen Yuanzheng has been very quiet these past few days, but with his temperament, he will never really calm down like this.

"So I think, if he is really staring at me, then the queen mother's intentions are a bit intriguing."

Shen Xi paused after hearing this.

Wen Yuanzheng is Han Dun's subordinate, and the Shen family is now on the side of Prince Yan's mansion. It is reasonable to say that even if he really took care of Shen Chongguang, from his own standpoint, it is impossible for the Empress Dowager to take this matter too seriously. Seriously.

It's fine to say a few words, or let Han Dun talk at most, but she still called Wen Yuanzheng over to lecture...

On the surface, she seems to be helping the Shen family, but in fact, isn't she deliberately guiding Wen Yuanzheng to deal with the Shen family?
After all, Prince Yan's mansion is all owned by generals, and among the civil servants in the court, only the Shen family is on their side.

The situation now is very different from when Han Dun compared Song Jiao to Xiao Huai.

Now not only because of her, the Shen family and the Han family are at odds in private, Xiao Huai and Han Dun's confrontation has also become irreconcilable.

It is absolutely impossible for the Shen family to be married to the Prince Yan's mansion and still be restrained by Han Dun and the palace in private.

As a force in Prince Yan's Mansion, it is certainly not a good thing for the palace to have the Shen family infiltrate into the Six Departments and Three Departments, not to mention that Shen Ruopu is the servant of the Ministry of Punishment, Shen Chongyi is in the Ministry of War, and Shen Chongguang is in the Ministry of Rites. They are all very important yamen.

According to Empress Dowager Zheng, of the three members of the Shen family, father and son, of course one can be removed.

The reason why Han Dun gave up two vacancies so generously at the beginning was probably because he was planning to remove them.

She looked at Shen Chongguang and said, "I just don't know what they want to do right now. Can you find a way to counterattack and defend?"

He breathed out: "If he wants to make a fuss about the inside story of Ji's dismissal, the Shen family will lose their reputation at most, and the official position will not be able to move. Let's take it for granted.

"I'm afraid it's not." Shen Xi looked at him and said.

She was afraid that Wen Yuanzheng would rush to pull him off his horse.

Shen Chongguang also nodded: "If the counterattack is defensive, I still lack the strength. If you want to avoid greater disputes, either I go or Wen Yuanzheng goes."

But neither is easy.

To be cautious, after Shen Xi returned to her room, she still asked Wang Er to call two people to guard outside Ji's house.The Ji family has already moved out of the capital, so it is not a concern for now.

Xiao Huai agrees with her on the Wen Yuanzheng incident.

"I will let people keep an eye on Wen's family. But there may not be any results." After all, not all conspiracies will reveal their secrets.

He took her hand and said: "The Shen family must stand firmly in the court. Yan Wangfu has no right to participate in the formulation of laws and regulations. This power is in the hands of the six departments and three divisions, so it's not just you who care about the Shen family, I also care about it."

Shen Xi thought for a while, and said, "The Shen family stays in the sixth department, this is what the lord wants, right?"

So although King Yan didn't want them to be together, he still didn't take any tough measures so far.

He didn't answer, but just hugged her on his lap and said, "A few years ago, the Divine Falcon Battalion would send a few people over, and you will stay by my side. Also, your birthday is coming soon, what do you want?"

He hugged her, his thin lips swept across her warm cheeks, and then sucked her lips, tasting them slowly.

After so many times of practice, his kissing skills have become more and more proficient, and he can easily arouse her emotions.

"I can't always love you enough."

He pinched her cheek, put the tip of his nose against her forehead, and sprayed his warm breath on her face, his voice rustling.

"Tell me, do you want jewelry and hairpins, or pearls and jade? Girls probably like these. But you have had everything, so what should I give you?"

Her birthday on the twenty-fourth day of the twelfth lunar month happened to be Xiaonian in the south.

Shen Xi leaned his head against the hollow of his shoulder, poked his nails lightly at the dragon pattern on the collar under his throat, thought for a long time, and said, "Why don't you send me to a school dormitory? I can find something to do when you're busy." .”

She wants to be a female teacher's house.

The aristocrats of the Great Zhou Dynasty did not have the practice of inviting female teachers, so that someone like Song Jiao could come on stage casually and compare the noble ladies.

And when he was busy, she could only stay at home and guard the cat, so she might as well go out to exercise.

Xiao Huai lowered his head and pecked her lips: "Okay, then give us a school room."
