Chapter 240 My wife is fierce?

Liu Li paused, and said: "That year, didn't you ask Qi Luo to send the account book to Yu Shi, and let her seal it up? How could you say that you didn't hear the news?"

Nie's eyes widened again. Unexpectedly, she knew this, and the panic in her heart became even worse. She hurriedly said: "That year, I did hear that someone was investigating this matter, but later I found out that it was The people from the government did not find anything because they knew it in time. This time I am sure it is not from the government, and they are probably afraid of scaring the snake, so they did it quietly."

"Why are you sure you are not from the government?"

Nie said: "If it's someone from the government, will there be no movement in the court after such a long time? Will it be Duan Zhiping's turn to blackmail us? Besides, Bo Yuan went to inquire, and they all said that the person who came to get the documents was a man. A woman. Why do people in the government have women on errands?"

"A man and a woman?" Liuli narrowed her eyes, "What do those men and women look like?"

Nie said: "They all have ordinary looks, the kind that you can't recognize if you throw them in the crowd."

Liuli frowned, thinking that the two of them were so cautious about their appearance, and the person behind them really had good intentions.Seeing that her expression was uncertain, Mrs. Nie was worried that she would really drag the whole He Mansion into the water, so she bit her lips and said, "Although I can't provide those evidences, I still have some evidences from He Cunli and Yu's family. The evidence of accepting our bribes can also be used as circumstantial evidence! If my aunt wants it, I will send someone back to get it!"

Liuli thinks that she hasn't reached the point of madness yet, just now she said that everyone in He Mansion, He Cengli, Yu Shi and the others should be buried with her, but it was just to intimidate her.No matter how dark He Mansion is, there are old ladies Su Auntie and Huanhua who treat her well, and she won't take it seriously for their sake.Hearing what Nie said, and seeing her kneeling for so long, of course he went down the donkey.

"Fourth aunt, get up."

Liu Lixu helped her, waited for her to get up, and said with a smile: "Since Fourth Aunt still has the evidence, we still have to eat and talk about the family, so it's better to let someone go back."

Nie quickly wiped away her tears, called the maid to come in, and after explaining, she sat down on the stool again.Sitting down and looking at Liuli, he poured tea for her with a smile as if nothing had happened. Thinking of how many times she changed her face, she not only made her tell the whole story, but also made her kneel for a long time, and also made her willingly put the tea at the bottom of the box. After handing over those clues, now that she is affectionately called fourth aunt, I can't help but sigh in my heart, thinking that I am really old.

Liuli asked Xiaoer to call the shopkeeper over to order food.The shopkeeper saw that she ordered a large table with four cold dishes and eight hot dishes, so he hurriedly asked some taboos about the taste, and then went back to the back kitchen to explain in person, and then asked someone to set up cold dishes, and personally led someone to hold the first dish. Send it to Liuli's room.

After Liuli had tasted it, he waved him away, and then he led the other four or five waiters who were carrying dishes to the elegant room next door more respectfully.

There were several guards standing at the door, and the shopkeeper smiled at them, then Li Xing, who was standing on the left, knocked on the door and led them in.

This is a room resembling a Han Dynasty, the windows are opened very low, and the table is also square, leaning against the low window, where only two people sit opposite each other.The shopkeeper first bowed to Lu Zhao, who was sitting on the left chief, and then bowed to Qi Yunhao, who was looking out of the window with his head tilted. He bowed and served the dishes on the tray behind him, and then backed out.

Li Xing came out last and closed the door.

Lu Zhao took a sip of his wine and said, "Last night, I went back and thought about it. The crown prince besieged the south gate, and most of the time he went south to search without results. Xu Shen is not someone who is waiting for nothing. He was able to withdraw in such a situation at that time. , a leaf does not stick to the body, without extraordinary wisdom, it is impossible. Moreover, he was able to live in seclusion in the south of the Yangtze River for so long, so that so many people searched around without finding it, which shows that he has a strong ability to disguise! Therefore, it is absolutely stupid for the crown prince to seek that thing from Xu Shen's hometown!"

Qi Yunhao nodded inaudibly, but did not speak.

Lu Zhao said again: "No matter what, it's a good thing that your vicious mother-in-law made such a fuss about him and let his plan fall through the cracks. He Yuli is also very cunning, knowing that Xu Shen's granddaughter is in the crown prince's house. Right under his nose, right here in the capital, he kept her a secret, and saw the prince running around. So we have to speed up while this inside story is not yet public—hey, what the hell are you doing? Are you listening?"

"I'm listening." Qi Yunhao put down the wine glass, looked at him coldly and said, "Are you saying that your wife is a vicious woman!"

Lu Zhao was stunned, but before he could speak, he turned around and looked at the carriage downstairs, and frowned, "Why did you come here?"

Lu Zhao also poked his head out.Then he saw that the vicious woman he was talking about was standing gracefully and gracefully in a gorgeous dress next to the carriage of the palace downstairs, saying goodbye to another woman dressed as a noble lady.She smiled so brightly and charmingly under the sun, it was hard to imagine how she would fight the crown prince alone while surrounded by soldiers.

Lu Zhao murmured, "Why is she here?"

Qi Yunhao stared at the smiling face for a while before turning around.

Seeing him like this, Lu Zhao frowned and glanced at him, and said, "Who is that woman next to her?"

"The fourth lady of He Mansion." Qi Yunhao said.

Lu Zhao frowned even more: "She asked people from He Mansion to meet here, why?"

"I don't know." Qi Yunhao also frowned, staring at the table, "There are many things about her that I don't know."

Lu Zhao shook his fan and said, "Didn't you put a lot of people in He Mansion? Now there are still around her. It's been two or three years, why don't you know? I think it took Ruier more than half a year to get married. Now that you know her, you can't compare to this?"

"My lord," Qi Yunhao put the glass back on the table and stared at him coldly: "She is my wife!"

Lu Zhao was taken aback, unexpectedly he was really angry, so he had no choice but to say: "Okay, okay, I'm wrong." Seeing that his face was still ashen, he seemed to understand something, so he put down the fan in his hand , frowned and said: "Didn't you invite the imperial doctor to give her medicine? The co-author didn't take her seriously. It's not the first time I've told you about Rui'er and her. I'm so angry right now. unusual."

Qi Yunhao raised his glass and sipped his wine, but didn't speak.

Lu Zhao sighed, and said: "Because of this matter, I am not a human being inside and out. Now I see the big aunt, and I feel quite guilty. How kind is the big aunt to me. That kid Rui'er is really infatuated—— —" Looking up and seeing that his face was down again, he hurriedly said: "Forget it, I'm a big villain! When I die, let me go to hell, is it okay?"

Qi Yunhao got up abruptly, and said stiffly: "The officer still has his life, so please forgive me."

With that said, he opened the door and strode out.

Lu Zhao called him twice but didn't hold back, then cast his eyes viciously at the carriage outside the window.Liuli was walking towards the carriage at this time, her movements were like the wind blowing on the willows, she looked a bit weak.Lu Zhao pulled down the window angrily: "She is obviously a fierce woman, and her looks may not be unparalleled, so how can she fascinate men one by one?"

There was a bang from downstairs, and Liuli heard it too. When she got in the car, she looked up and calmly ordered, "Go home!"

When she was standing and talking with Nie earlier, she raised her eyes and caught sight of the person in the upstairs window.The second floor is not high, even if Qi Yunhao flashed fast, she could still see it clearly.However, since he pretended not to see her, then naturally there was something inconvenient, and she just had to pretend that there was no such thing.

The evidence submitted by Mrs. Nie is actually quite a lot. After returning to the mansion, Liu Li checked it carefully, and found that they were all the amount of bribes received and granted. Unfortunately, there were no signatures from Mrs. He and Ms. Yu, and the list only had a few items. Rare and precious jade antiques may be used as evidence when the house is raided.

Liuli put these together with the small account book she got from Mrs. Yu back then, threw them into a copper box and locked them up.Then he told Rui'er to let Ji Xiaoquan come to the mansion tomorrow.

After taking a nap in the afternoon, people outside reported that two girls from the backyard had come.Liuli thought it was the morning that someone came back, and since she came again, it would be a good idea to disappear now, so she went outside and smiled at the hall, "It's a hot day, the heat hasn't dissipated yet, why bother remembering it?" Such a small matter?"

Ningshuang hurriedly bowed her body and said, "I haven't come to pay my respects to grandma for a long time, and I miss it very much, so I don't care about the hot weather."

Liuli smiled and asked the two of them to sit down.Make tea again.

After being imprisoned for a few months, Ningshuang looked a lot more honest. Although she still had such a cute and pitiful appearance, she couldn't find any mistakes in etiquette.Liuli felt that her skin was much thicker, and now that she just sat and said nothing, she could feel at ease as if no one was around.Wanting to see what the two of them had to say, Liuli shut her mouth tightly.

In the end, Ningshuang couldn't help but said, "How is grandma?"

Liuli smiled and said, "It's passable."

Ningshuang knew that she was deliberately drying herself out, so she became dumb again.But since it is under the guise of paying respects, you can't really just sit like this, let alone just leave like this?Glancing at Hanxue, she could only bite her lips and said: "Yes, I heard from the girls that grandma had trained all the people of His Highness the Prince a few days ago. The servants and concubines really admire grandma's courage!"

"Miss, you are wrong." Liuli smiled and folded her hands on the armrest, and said, "I taught the court's fourth-rank official, and Duan Yanshan received the imperial court's salary, and was awarded by the Holy Majesty." Official position, how can you say that he belongs to the prince? The girl said so, where did the emperor be placed? If it is investigated, it can be regarded as a crime of disrespect."

Ningshuang was stunned, her face flushed with embarrassment.

Liuli didn't intend to make a fuss about her, so when she saw this, she smiled and said: "Of course, we women don't understand some things, so it's okay to talk nonsense, as long as we don't accidentally spread it to the outside world, I don't either." I will really talk about this with people."
