Chapter 48

Du Jian caught the young man who rushed forward, and raised his eyes to Huo Mingzhai and his wife Xie who came out after hearing the news: "Father, mother."

The youngest, Huo Yang, was sixteen years old, and rushed over to happily call him "Big Brother", but he was much calmer than Huo Qi, who was three years younger.

"Not at all steady!" Huo Mingdi scolded Yao'er lightly, then nodded at Du Jian with half anger and half relief: "Just be safe."

Xie smiled and took Huo Rong's hand: "Everyone go into the room and talk."

As the main courtyard, Qingfu Hall has already set up incense and snacks, and the maids and women are all standing under the verandah and calling "Master".

The group took their seats in the main hall, Huo Rong answered Xie's inquiry, and entered the study with Huo Mingdi.

"When Tong Qi came back, I had already heard him talk about Changxing." Huo Mingzhai who closed the door was no longer full of comfort and kindness before, but more serious and worried, "It's too risky, how can I stay there that long?"

"I have a sense of proportion." Huo Rong looked calm, "It is precisely because I know that the responsibility is heavy, some things must be done."

As he said that, he took out the cloth and put it on the table: "This is the black account held by Cheng Xiao. With it, at least [-]% of the power of the Eastern Palace can be removed. In addition to the embezzlement of official money, the officials on the water transport side must also Withdraw one batch.

"The most important thing about the Gu family is their connections. Over the past few decades, the tree has grown and its roots are deep. If we want to dig up the roots, we can only pick on them everywhere.

"Overall, the four-month stay was well worth it."

Huo Mingzhai was obviously convinced.

Nodding silently, he looked at him again: "You have done a lot in these years."

After finishing speaking, he flipped through the account book, and after reading it, his thick long eyebrows were tightly furrowed: "These bastards! If the emperor finds out, I don't know how angry he would be."

Huo Rong sat quietly without saying a word.

"I heard you were injured?" Huo Mingzhai looked up again, "How is it?"

"It doesn't matter." Huo Rong said, "What I'm worried about for Cheng Xiao is that the crown prince might send someone to silence him, even though Xie Peng is left there, it's hard to be safe.

"The only way to keep him from being preemptively silenced is to send the ledger to the emperor as soon as possible. But if it is delivered in the usual way, it will definitely be too late."

"I've already arranged this." Huo Mingzhai carefully put away the ledger, "It will be delivered to the Qianqing Palace as quickly as possible."

"One more thing," Huo Rong looked at him who got up, and tapped his fingers on the armrest, "Actually, this time it's not my fault alone, a female general named Shen Changying from Nankangwei contributed a lot.

"For example, she was the one who found this account book. When my father sent the account book over, please mention this by the way."

Huo Mingzhai raised his eyebrows: "Is it the Nankangwei female general who disrupted your plan?"

Huo Rong didn't comment.

Huo Mingzhai looked at him for a moment, then nodded: "If it's true, I will mention it."

It was already dark when Huo Rong returned to Fuyi Hall.In the courtyard where we have been away for nearly four months, the wisteria in the corner has sprouted buds one after another, and a new bonsai has been replaced outside the corridor.

A few green bamboos next to the Taihu Stone that acted as a screen for the wing room had a good posture. The servants were lighting the lamps on the porch, when they heard footsteps, they came over to pay respects, and dispersed without saying a word to fetch water and pass on food.

The porch lamp is thrown into the window edge, casting a scene of flower shadows on the Arhat bed under the window sill.

Huo Rong sat down on the edge of the bed, rested his head on the brocade pillow for a while, and then unconsciously took out two pieces of paper with his right hand.

The glazed lamp with engraved gold and glass is bright and luxurious, illuminating everything on the paper.

The color of the marriage letter on the left is slightly yellow, and the rubbings of the wedding wishes are gorgeous and neat, while the name written by the woman's freehand is beautiful and smooth, and the three characters "Shen Linlang" are so clear that they seem to be engraved there.

The right head is empty except for ten fingerprints, which are scarlet and eye-catching on the clean white paper.

The fingerprints on the marriage certificate were exactly the same as Shen Changying's right thumbprint.

That's right, Shen Changying is Shen Linlang.

For this matter, he already had the most exact and direct answer.

Shen Linlang, who had never met three years ago and chose to take him to escape just because he was besieged and seriously injured, now appeared again unexpectedly.

She was indeed from a wealthy family and grew up in an aristocratic family. She was indeed not worried about getting married, and she didn't need to lock up a marriage contract in that way.

She went to Qian's house with his mission, half a day later than he expected, and she didn't mention to Qian's family that someone was trying to harm them.

She disappeared just then, but more than half a month later, she indirectly killed her uncle who regarded her as her own.

She became a "white-eyed wolf" despised by everyone. Three years after many people thought she might have died, she transformed into a rising star in Nankangwei, shining brightly in the general camp.

But at the same time, she regards him as a stranger, and she no longer remembers writing a marriage letter with a man named Huo Rong, or running away with his mission.

"You have such a big night pearl on your body, and your family is rich?"

"Just... not so poor."

"Can it reach the level where you can build a golden house?"

"...Why build a gold house?"

"Zangjiao! Aren't you going to propose marriage to my family?"

"...What's so good about the Golden House? Chen Ajiao ended up in such a miserable end."

"You're wrong, who said that the Golden House is hiding me? I'm using it to hide you hahahahaha!"

……

Maybe it's because his mind is so sensitive when he can't see, he still remembers these conversations clearly even after three years.

In the past half month, such teasing and teasing abounded, which made him unable to believe that the affairs of the Qian family had something to do with her heartless.

At present, it can be seen from the facts that something might have happened in the half day after she left, but if something happened, why didn't she show any abnormality in front of the Qian family?
Even her clothes were freshly trimmed, her hair was not disheveled, and her expression was very calm. She definitely didn't look like she had been kidnapped before——so said later members of the Qian family.

And her subsequent accusation against Ling Yan was even more mysterious - of course, this incident and the subsequent incidents have nothing to do with him.

People from the Qian family said that she had indeed been to the Qian family, so after she left the Qian family, she should have returned directly to the Marquis of Wuning's mansion.

The name "Shen Linlang" on the marriage letter was obviously written perfunctorily to echo his speculation at the time.

She was a woman who was suddenly involved in danger. When she had to marry him and flee, it was reasonable and reasonable not to hand it over with her real name to avoid future troubles.

And it is also reasonable for her to return to Ling's house after leaving Qian's house.

Well, normally speaking, even if she wasn't killed by Ling Yuan himself, she could still be forced to death by him, but she was able to save her life from Ling Yuan's hands...
