First Empress Merchant

Chapter 7 Ginger is Spicy

"My lord, I didn't know that my lord would come tonight. You see, there are still rituals going on ahead of me. My lord... I have neglected my lord, so please forgive me, my lord!"

"It's okay, when I came here in the past, my lord always met you in the study. Maybe coming here will remind you of something... Oh, Mrs. Lu, don't need to be distracted, let's go and get busy, and invite you personally just come.”

"This……"

When Liu Shi was still secretly blaming Liu Yangming for not knowing where his death came from, she saw Xin'er rushing out of the study crying and shouting.

"Master Zhang! You have to make the decision for our young lady! Our young lady has a hard life!"

Zhang Shizhong is the Minister of the Ministry of Rites, Rites and Cleaning Department. He is in charge of Jiali, military etiquette, management of academic affairs, and imperial examinations.He has been doing academic research all his life, emphasizing learning and rites. In addition, he is a typical atheist, so he has never been able to deal with the shrine priest Qinglisi.No, I saw Lu's family opening the altar the first time I came here, and I was quite disgusted in my heart. I wanted to leave here, but I have a good personal relationship with Lu Yizhuo on weekdays, and this time I was entrusted by Lu Lishi, so I hesitated. So he decided to come to the study to meet Lu Yizhuo.

But he just took a step forward, when he saw a servant crying and lying in front of him, frowning slightly, looking carefully, he seemed to have seen it somewhere before, and after hearing what she said, he remembered that she was his niece's personal life The servant girl couldn't help but stepped forward to give her a hand.

"What happened to your lady? Get up and tell me in detail!"

"Thank you, my lord! Slave..." Unexpectedly, just as Xin'er got up, she was inserted by Liu Shi.

"Nonsense! It's rare for Mrs. Zhang to condescend. How can you be so disrespectful? Come on! Hurry up and take this lowly maid who has broken etiquette and lock her into the firewood room!" Liu Shi stared at Xin'er sharply, and said I want to see the slightest clue from her eyes.

She also wondered why Master Zhang would come to visit, and when she saw this lowly servant girl, she knew that she must have something to do with that dead girl!It is extremely hateful!And her restless brother doesn't know where the cat is slacking off!It's really critical that there is no one who can be used!
"My... my lord..." Xin'er seemed to be terribly afraid of Liu Shi, and kept hiding behind Zhang Shizhong.

"Mrs. Lu, isn't this inappropriate?" Zhang Shizhong has been an official for so many years, because of the previous legal affairs, he has disliked Mrs. Liu, and thinking about Guizhi's insanity now, and this Mrs. Liu is a successor after all. Yes, I also understand a little bit.

"My lord..." Although Liu Shi hated and was anxious, she was even more afraid of offending Zhang Shizhong, so she didn't know what to say for a long time.

Seeing Liu Shi's flickering appearance, Zhang Shizhong became even more prejudiced against her, snorted coldly, then turned to look at Xin'er, "I am here, if my niece is wronged, I will definitely make the decision for her! If you dare to tell half a lie, this official will not forgive you lightly!"

"Slaves dare not! Even if you give this servant 1 guts, you don't dare to expire, my lord! My lord, my young lady... I can't say anything to this servant, so I ask you, sir, to go and see in the study for yourself!" Xin'er knelt down non-stop Kowtow to Zhang Shizhong and ignore him completely.

"Oh? Get up and lead the way!" Hearing that Lu Lishi was here, Zhang Shizhong didn't care about anything else. He said he wanted Xin'er to lead the way, but he stepped into the study room earlier than her.

Because Lu Lishi has been paying attention to every move outside, when Zhang Shizhong stepped into the study door, he saw the picture of her pre-hanging beam.

"Don't do it! Don't do it! The Master will decide everything for you!" Zhang Shizhong was shocked, and rushed over to hug Lu Lishi in one stride.

Back in the day, when Lu Yizhuo chose Lu Lishi's name, he was by his side, and out of a dozen or so names, he liked this one. It can also be said that he chose Lu Lishi's name, so he sincerely regarded this child as his half. His daughter saw it, his own daughter was like this, how could he deal with it calmly?

"Shibo...Shishi's life is so bitter! My mother is gone, and now my father is...but anyway, Shishi belongs to the Lu family. Even if she is an old girl all her life, she must serve her father forever, but who would have expected Just now... Shishi has no face to live on anymore, but I hope to go with my mother, and to be fulfilled by the uncle!" Lu Lishi clutched Zhang Shizhong's wide sleeves, crying until the pear blossoms rained, as if her heart was about to break.

"You silly child, your parents are under the influence of your body, hair and skin. You are not filial if you do this! Hey, tell Shibo what happened, Shibo will definitely not let you be deceived!" Zhang Shizhong said In the end, he glared fiercely and followed the Liu family who was approaching.

"Shibo, Shishi... Shishi can't say it..." Lu Lishi bit her lower lip tightly, covered her face with her sleeve as she spoke, and took the opportunity to glance at Xin'er.

Xin'er understood, and immediately choked with sobs and said, "My lord, it's about Miss's reputation, so don't ask me any more, my lord."

Hearing this, Zhang Shizhong became even more angry, "Hurry up and tell me honestly!"

"Your Excellency, go to the inner room and you will know..." As if frightened by Zhang Shizhong's official authority, Xin'er pointed tremblingly at the inner room where Lu Yizhuo rested in the study.

Zhang Shizhong got the guidance, lifted his robe, and strode into the room. As soon as he entered, he saw a naked man lying on the bed, and his face instantly turned liver-colored with anger.

"What is this person's name? But this man?" Zhang Shizhong stared at the black body, his angry voice filled the whole study.

"Secret uncle, don't ask any more, little uncle...he may have just identified the wrong person..." Lu Lishi stood up with Xin'er's support, but glanced at Liu Shi intentionally or unintentionally when she spoke.

And Liu Shi was still looking at Lu Lishi with the mood of watching a good show. If the news spread, she would never want to marry a good family again in this life, but when she heard the word "little uncle", Liu Shi's head It was empty all of a sudden, and she thought about it, but she didn't expect that the disciple was her younger brother!
This idiot!How did you use your brain to move that girl!This is not... No!Here...

Thinking that Zhang Shizhong was still inside, Liu raised the hem of her skirt and rushed in, only to see the unconscious Liu Yangming, not to mention the work that belonged to him that fell on the ground, her mind went blank again, and there was a thud Kneeling down beside the bed, almost passed out.

"Bastard! This is... It's a moral failure! Come on! Let me take this beast down!"

Zhang Shizhong originally thought that he was just some bold servant, but he never expected to be Liu's younger brother!He is a minister of the Ministry of Etiquette, and he has always been a person who has to understand etiquette. This uncle and nephew... the more they thought about it, the more angry they raised their hands and dragged the unconscious Liu Yangming out of the bed.

When Liu Shi heard that Zhang Shizhong was going to take Liu Yangming, her mind turned quickly, but when the guards who followed Zhang Shizhong had already rushed into the room, she suddenly fell down clutching her stomach.

"Mrs. Lu, what are you..." Zhang Shizhong was still furious. Seeing Liu Shi like this, he thought she was pretending, his eyes were full of contempt, but he waved his hands to make his subordinates stop.
