Rebirth of the scholarly lady

Chapter 536
Xu Zhui looked at the gift from Mrs. Yongding Hou, and felt itchy in his heart. He didn't dare to accept it. He stretched out his hand and pushed a box of jewels towards Maru, and said, "Ma'am, you don't have to be so polite. You can say what you have to say." Is it all finished? I will send the young lady on the road in three days."

Xu Cone didn't dare to let go.

Maru's complexion became a little pale, she looked worried, and asked the maid to deliver another box of jewels, this time, the box was not covered as before, and the maid opened the box when delivering it.

In an instant, the sky was full of rays of light.

The air is a bit humid these days, and when the box was opened, it revealed a hazy golden light, and the box was filled with precious stones, gold and silver.

This box is the same, and the contents of the first box are probably similar.

Xu Zhui could no longer turn a blind eye to it, so he could only ask politely, "What are you doing, madam?"

Maru couldn't help crying.

After all, Xu Zhui is a man, and he can't bear women's tears the most. Normally, he would have walked away long ago, but now standing in front of him is a lady with an imperial order.

Xu Zhui couldn't help sighing, "Ma'am, if you have anything to say, just say it."

"My lord..." Saying that, Marushi knelt down.

This action startled Xu Zhui, how could Xu Zhui make this woman kneel himself, he quickly reached out to help him, but found that it was unreasonable to do so, he dared not help, so he had to kneel with Marushi.

When Maru saw that Xu Zhui was not being bowed down by her, she became even more anxious. She sobbed and said, "Master Xu, my daughter Shiyin is still a child. She is still young and ignorant. What she did was nothing more than an affair between her daughter's family." I was angry, I just wanted to cause some trouble for Princess Ruiherou, but I didn't expect that the fire would destroy other shops, she really didn't know the consequences, these jewels, I am a poor mother As a filial to you, I beg you, let my family Shiyin live!"

Xu Zhui knelt down and sighed: "Ma'am, it's not that I don't want to save you, but I also follow orders. It's hard to disobey the emperor's orders. Ma'am, please don't embarrass me anymore."

"No, my lord, I have already prepared a method for you," Marushi said in a low voice, "I did some work at the Ministry of Punishment, so that the punishment of showing the head of the owl became a hanging. Hanging is to cover the criminal's face. When the time comes Find Li Daitao, a prisoner on death row, and you can pass the test, please have mercy on me, a mother."

"This..." Xu Zhui thumped in his heart, and hurriedly said: "Ma'am, if this is found out, it will be a capital offense, and the owners offended by this fire are all dignitaries. It's not that easy to get away with it."

Maru's eyes flickered, she knew that Xu Zhui was tempted by the two boxes of jewels, but he cherished his life more because he was afraid of dying.

Maru said again in a low voice: "Your Excellency can also rest assured that as long as you find a woman with a similar figure, I will pay a lot of money to ask the people in Yunfu to help her face look like Shiyin, and she will definitely not be caught. People can see the clues, these three days are enough! Please be more accommodating!"

Xu Zhui's mind started to move. Yun's is a Yirong family, but his vision is extremely high. If they want to help them change their appearance, they need to spend a lot of valuable things. If Maru's can hire someone from Yun's to replace Yi Rong Cheng looks like Lu Shiyin, even if he is hanged without covering his face, it will not make people see any problems.

The so-called hanging is nothing more than a cover-up.

Because the face that has been easily revealed in such a short time may show traces when the head is broken.

With this guarantee, Xu Zhui was still afraid. He whispered: "Ma'am, how can this matter be safe? If it is found out, I will lose my life. Please forgive me, Madam. How dare you."

"My lord, I beg you, you will never be implicated in this matter, I promise!" Marushi kowtowed several times heavily.

What guarantee do you take?Xu Zhui trembled in his heart for a while, but he couldn't kneel like this, could he?He was very embarrassed: "Ma'am, don't force me to dismiss you anymore, you should get up."

"No, if my lord does not agree, I will not be able to kneel down!" Maru continued, "If my daughter is safe, I have other thanks."

Of course Xu Zhui understands that Maru-shi can afford the money, but he doesn't understand why Maru-shi is willing to spend so much money on such a daughter. Doesn't she have a son... He couldn't figure it out, so he stopped thinking about it, Xu After struggling for so many years, this matter is not difficult to deal with. When he rolled his eyes, he reluctantly said: "Poor madam's love for daughters, if madam really ensures that it has nothing to do with the lower official, then the lower official , so I turned a blind eye to it..."

Hearing Xu Zhui let go, Maru's tears turned into a smile, and he said, "Thank you, my lord. After the matter is completed, I have another few thousand taels to offer."

At this time, Wanbaozhai, Tianzi No. [-] room.

Yun Ai sat across from Nan Surou, with a gloomy face: "Yun Tan accepted Maru's request from the Marquis of Yongding to transform a woman into Lu Shiyin, and Yun Tan would dress up as a maidservant and enter Jingzhao Prison with Maru himself. What are you going to do?"

"You didn't stop your sister." Nan Surou's eyes were still on the file, and she didn't intend to look up at Yun Ai at all.

"I didn't stop it. I never meddle in their business on the surface." Yun Ai said bluntly.

"Well, I see." Nan Surou nodded, but her eyes still did not lift up.

"Aren't you in a hurry?" Yun Ai frowned.

Nan Surou said casually: "Didn't you just say that you don't care about their business on the surface, but you will do it secretly, and it's still my business."

Said, Nan Surou put down the file, looked up at Yun Ai's eyes, the corners of her lips slightly raised, and said: "Of course, if you think I'm confident that you will intervene in this matter, you will lose face, you really You don’t have to worry about anything.”

What does this mean?
It means that he can take care of it as he likes, or leave it alone?
Yun Ai couldn't help but said: "What do you mean by that? If I don't take action, I won't tell you about it, and if Lu Shiyin escapes punishment, it will be a hidden danger."

"Hidden dangers may not be unusable." Nan Surou picked up the file again, and said in her mouth, "It's just that whether you care about this matter or not depends on how important I am in your heart. If the weight is enough, you will take care of it, but the weight is not enough. , you don’t care, I can use this to understand my weight in your heart, why not do it? Anyway, I have never paid attention to people like Lu Shiyin, since I have fought back against her so many times , It won’t be a problem to fight back one more time.”

Yun Ai sneered and said, "Your calculations are really loud, you want me to help you speak up, why do you say such oblique words?"
