After marrying a rough man, I played mahjong to support Shoufu

Chapter 277 The Curve to Save the Nation
In the alley, Shen Xian and Yan Chongluan stared with wide eyes.

"Sister-in-law, you have the most ideas, think of a way?" Yan Chongluan spoke first.

Shen Xian pondered for a while, since it is not possible to go out directly, then he can only save the country in a curve.

"follow me."

The two walked out of the alley lightly, and Shen Xian took Yan Chongluan to the small restaurant where he and Hongye often went.

It was almost midnight at this time, and the old woman with black and white hair was about to close the door.

Seeing this scene, Shen Xian quickly ran over in small steps.

"Old man, wait a minute!"

The old woman raised her head, looked at Shen Xian with kind eyes, and then said with a smile: "It's you, you are late, the food in the shop is all sold out."

Shen Xian shook his head repeatedly, "No, no, we're not here for dinner, but we want to ask you for a favor!"

The old woman gave Shen Xian a suspicious look, opened the half-closed door, and let her enter the room.

On the collapsed house, a strange wind blew out Hongye's fire. As soon as the only warmth disappeared, Hongye's teeth trembled from the cold.

'Swish, swish. '

There was a sound of dragging footsteps, and Hong immediately became alert.

No one would come to this abandoned house, only the lost cats and dogs would occasionally come.

But today's footsteps were very heavy, as soon as I heard someone coming.

A dagger was pinned to Hongye's back waist, she huddled in a corner, staring closely at the aisle.

The old woman walked over slowly with her hands behind her back, and when she saw the extinguished fire glowing red, she groped her way over.

Hongye took advantage of the moonlight to see who was coming, and quickly stood up from the corner.

"Mother, why are you here?"

The old woman took a step back when she heard the movement, clutching her heart as if she was still in shock.

"What are you doing hiding here in the middle of the night, girl, you're so scared to death."

Seeing that she had frightened someone, Hongye folded her arms a little helplessly.

"I'm really sorry, I didn't mean to."

The old woman's eyes fell on Hongye's luggage, and then said kindly: "My child, do you have nowhere to go, why don't you come to my house to rest for the night."

"No, no, no, how embarrassing it is." Hong Ye hurriedly waved her hand to refuse. She was lonely and helpless, and she no longer wanted to accept other people's kindness.

The old woman turned around and walked out on her own, muttering as she walked, "If you feel sorry, you can help the old woman wash the dishes tomorrow."

As she said that, the old woman sighed, and exclaimed: "Oh, I am old and useless. I have a backache and leg pain even after washing the dishes."

Hongye hesitated, picked up the salute from the ground, bit her lip and followed.

In the alley on the side, Shen Xian was relieved to see Hongye leaving with the old woman.

Yan Chongluan looked at Hongye's back, and became more and more curious about her.

"Sister-in-law, you are close to Hongye, can you tell me why she is living in such a miserable life."

Shen Xian shivered, and walked towards the carriage without looking back.

"Come to Yunlai Teahouse in Tianque Tower tomorrow, let's talk slowly, I just want to go home and change the bed."

Yan Chongluan shrugged his shoulders, his question was a bit inappropriate.

Inside the Zhao mansion.

Zhao Shun turned on the lamp and looked at the book while waiting for Shen Xian to come back.

"The superior is good at attacking the enemy, the inferior is good at attacking the army, plan and then move, know yourself and the enemy, and win every battle."

Meditating on what the sages said, Zhao Shun fell into deep thought, and the two goals that Xiao Xuangu set for him today lingered in his mind.

It's too early to make a decision on the Minister of the Ministry of Officials. He doesn't have a team, and he doesn't know much about Cai Quan, so this matter should be postponed.

But the goal of getting rid of Gu Hanlin is indeed imminent.

With the cabinet election at the end of the year, Gu Hanlin was about to make a move.

Zhao Shun felt that although Gu Hanlin valued his side very much, it did not 100% mean that without his vote, Gu Hanlin would have no chance 100% of the time.

With a creak, Shen Xian pushed open the door and came in, shivering and turning into the kotatsu.

Shen Xian looked sideways at Zhao Shun like a kitten, seeing that he was lost in thought and had no response, so he yelled softly.

"Sir, what are you thinking about?"

Hearing Shen Xian's shout, Zhao Shun came back to his senses, put down the book in his hand and looked at Shen Xian, his eyes lit up.

People who are proficient in planning are right in front of them, and they are guarding a golden mountain without knowing it.

"Miss, I have something to discuss with you about my husband."

The two sat on the kotatsu on one left and one on the right, Shen Xian naughtily scratched Zhao Shun's soles with his feet, then looked at Zhao Shun with his cheeks on his hands.

"What do you want to discuss with me, my good husband."

Zhao Shun looked expectantly, and told Shen Xian what he had just thought about.

"Miss, if Gu Hanlin's affairs in the cabinet go bankrupt, it may not be difficult, but even if Gu Hanlin failed to enter the cabinet, he is still Hanlin. Although he is old, he will definitely not be able to retire in recent years. "

Speaking of serious business, Shen Xian's expression became very serious, she thought for a while and said: "He is from Yuwenji, you can't touch him on the bright side, but if he has problems himself, Yuwenji will naturally not tolerate him .”

Zhao Shun nodded thoughtfully, what Shen Xian said made sense, but it might be difficult for Gu Hanlin to expose the problem himself, so he had to push him from behind.

"During this time, I tried to find a way to walk around with Gu Hanlin more, trying to find out his connections and details."

"That's the only way to go. We don't know enough about the people in the capital, so there's only so much we can think about. Let's take a step forward and see."

Gu Hanlin Mansion.

Gu Fangman's mother Zhao Meilan knelt in front of the old woman with red eyes, sobbing and crying non-stop.

The old lady frowned, poking her cane a little irritably.

"Crying, crying, what's the use of crying with me, if you have the ability, go to the old man and cry, no one can change what he decides, even if I go to beg him, it will be a shame."

Zhao Meilan wiped away her tears, choked up and said: "The old man doesn't want to see me at all, and if you don't care about it, mother-in-law, what will Fangman do!"

The old lady had a headache. She had already seen that Gu Fangman was not a cheap lamp, but she did not expect such a catastrophe to happen.

Although I feel ashamed in my heart, she is my own granddaughter after all, so I can't justify not caring about her at all.

"Hey! I'm really convinced of you. If you strictly disciplined me on weekdays, how could she make our family lose face like this."

With that said, the old lady got up and went out, heading for the study.

Zhao Meilan wiped away her tears, rubbed her knees and stood up with a gloomy face.

The old lady walked outside Gu Hanlin's study and knocked on the door, but there was no response for a long time.

After a long time, Gu Hanlin said impatiently: "Be patient for a while, when the old man takes the position in the cabinet, I'm trying to figure out a way to kill the donkey."

After getting Gu Hanlin's words, the old lady had no choice but to give up. It is probably useless to say anything now.
