Happy pastoral concubine

Chapter 1019

"Falling leaves return to their roots." Qian Lian shrugged helplessly, "I've been running around all these years, now I should go back and have a look."

"So you haven't forgiven Master yet?"

"Brother, do you know how my mother died back then?"

"Didn't Master's wife die of illness?"

"Yes, my mother is seriously ill." Recalling the past, Qian Lian had mixed feelings in her heart, "My father, as a famous witch doctor, saw that my mother was ill, but he didn't even think about healing my mother properly, but He wanted to use my mother as a sample to study his newly developed poison."

"You never told me these things..."

"My father is a famous witch doctor. He is not only your master, but also has the grace to nurture you. If I told you these things back then, would you believe it?"

"Yes!" Jin Sheng nodded resolutely, looked into Qian Lian's eyes, and said seriously, "As long as you say it, I will believe it."

Qianlian looked at him and smiled.

This time, her smile was very sincere.

"Brother, you are so stupid."

"Qianlian, you and I grew up together, I believe you will never lie to me."

"But I lied to you more than once."

"Even if you lied to me, you have your reasons, don't you?"

"Brother, if there is an afterlife, I will definitely stay by your side and never leave again."

"We can stay together in this life!" Jin Sheng said immediately, "Qianlian, don't worry, I will definitely help you."

Qianlian shook her head gently, "Brother, don't waste your time on me, it's not worth it."

"Qianlian!"

"Brother, let's go, I want to be alone for a while."

At that time, the Fulai Inn in Chuzhou.

Xiao Baorui poured a cup of hot tea and handed it to Tang Huanxi's palm, "Lady, you already know Qianlian's true face?"

"Yes." Tang Huanxi nodded, "Actually, I wrote a new letter to Granny Bu."

At that time, Tang Huanxi's thoughts were very simple. She thought that Qian Lian was wandering around. Could it be possible that she had returned to Dai County long ago?

So she thought of Granny Bu who was far away in Dai County, so she wrote a letter and sent it there, originally wanting to find out about Qianlian's whereabouts.

But later when she received a letter from Granny Bu, she was surprised.

"Why haven't I heard you mention it before?" Xiao Baorui looked at her, raising his eyebrows in doubt.

"Uncle has always missed Qian Lian very much. At that time, I thought it would be a blessing if Uncle couldn't find her." Tang Huanxi thought for a while, then sighed with some regret, "After all, I want to find someone who is not willing The person I meet is like finding a needle in a haystack. So at that time, I hoped that my uncle would never find her."

But who would have expected that Qian Lian would appear in front of them in such a vigorous manner?
"I looked at her face, it's very bad." Tang Huanxi thought for a while, and said softly, "I'm afraid she is near the end of her life, that's why she chose such a crazy way to take revenge on those heartless people."

"Presumably that's the case, so she doesn't care about the punishment she will suffer after breaking the law."

"Now I'm most worried about my uncle."

In the early morning of the next day, Fulai Inn.

Xu Shenglin led a group of people and hurriedly knelt outside the door of the inn.

Tang Huanxi raised her eyebrows suspiciously when she heard the news, "Didn't you say that you have concealed your identity? Then the battle outside is..."

"My lady, do you still remember what you called me yesterday evening?" Xiao Baorui raised his eyebrows, looked at her, and smiled slightly.

Tang Huanxi thought about it seriously, and finally helped her forehead helplessly.

"It seems that I exposed your identity!"

May I ask all the courtiers in Dayong, who doesn't know the name of the current emperor?
There is no other person who can call out the name of the emperor so boldly, except for her, the empress.

"If the lady called me my husband at that time, I wouldn't have to face today's scene."

"Hey," Tang Huanxi rested her forehead silently, then gave him an annoyed look, "Now, are you still in the mood to play tricks on me?"

"Xiaosheng doesn't dare!" Xiao Baorui deliberately made a contrived gesture, which caused Tang Huanxi to smile uncontrollably.

The husband and wife checked each other's manners, then smiled at each other, and walked out of the inn hand in hand.

"My next official, Xu Shenglin, prefect of Chuzhou, pays respects to the Holy Majesty and the Empress!"

"Get up!" Xiao Baorui stepped forward, smiled slightly, and raised his hand to support him.

At this moment, Xu Shenglin felt a lot of cold sweat on his forehead.

He raised his hand and wiped his forehead, and explained anxiously, "Your Majesty doesn't know that the Holy One has come from a long distance, and you are welcome at a distance, so please don't take offense at Your Majesty!"

"Those who don't know are not guilty." Xiao Baorui raised his hand and patted him on the shoulder, and comforted him softly, "Master Xu, don't worry, this time I'm visiting incognito, so don't disturb the people."

"Yes, the officer understands!"

"Let's go, go to your house first, if you have anything to do, go to your house and discuss it carefully."

"Yes, I will obey the order!"

Xu Mansion is located in the east of Chuzhou City, and it is a courtyard with three entrances and three exits.

It seems that the occupied area is not big, but the yard is kept very clean.

There are flowers and grass, mountains and water, and it looks unique and scattered.

"I saw a pond in the garden just now? I don't know if there are fish in it?"

"Returning to your mother, I like to raise fish, so there are some koi in the pond."

"Then let Mrs. Xu accompany me around."

"Yes!"

After Tang Huanxi left, Xiao Baorui looked at Xu Shenglin, who was always bowed down, and smiled heartily, "Master Xu, get up!"

Xu Shenglin looked up at him lightly, then knelt heavily on the ground.

"What's the meaning of this, love?"

"The lower official is guilty, and the Holy One must punish him!"

"Didn't I already say that? Those who don't know are not guilty."

"The officer is not referring to this matter."

"Then what are you referring to?"

"The lower officials...the lower officials should not abuse lynching."

"You mean the female murderer Qian Lian?"

"Exactly."

"Get up!" Xiao Baorui patted him on the shoulder, and said in a deep voice, "It is indeed wrong to abuse lynching, but I know that this matter has nothing to do with you. This matter is your wife's handwriting, right?"

"Your Majesty?" Xu Shenglin immediately raised his head, his eyes flickering with horror.

"Does Mr. Xu know about the South-to-North Water Diversion Project?"

"My minister has heard a little bit that the scope of this project design is very broad. Zhao Zhuo, the prefect of Spring City, also sent a letter a few days ago, saying that the Holy One has decided to include Chuzhou as one of the selected locations for this project."

"Exactly." Xiao Baorui nodded, and explained softly, "Before that, I have read all the information about your resume. Xu Aiqing, you are a good official who cares about the people. The only shortcoming is that you are too doting Your wife."

"The next official knows his mistake!"
