Ruanjiaobao was forced to marry by Lord Hou again

Chapter 311 Resignation
Ye Lingwu is used to laziness now, seeing Shen Zhan's airs of necessity, she doesn't have the intention to waste more time talking.

Simply ignore.

After the meal, Qingju brought hot tea to refresh the tiredness, and Ye Lingwu drank the whole bowl of tea, Shen Zhan had no intention of leaving yet.

"Master Hou, if you have nothing to do, I'll go back to the house. I haven't read the account books sent by Yuzhou yet." Ye Lingwu got up and said.

Shen Zhan immediately said: "It happens to be something."

Ye Lingwu paused, frowned and said, "What's the matter?"

"Scholar Jiang resigned from the Imperial Academy today." Shen Zhan said in a flat tone, observing Ye Lingwu's expression closely.

"Please resign?" Ye Lingwu's expression was not surprised, but worried.

Shen Zhan picked up the tea bowl slowly, played with it in his palm and said: "Speaking of which, there have been many major events in the Jiang family in recent days. First, Qingqing and the Jiang University scholar suddenly reconciled, and then, as an important minister in the court, the future is boundless. Jiang Dashi suddenly resigned, Qingqing thinks it's strange that these things are connected?"

The three female envoys were shocked when they heard this, but they didn't dare to say anything.

Ye Lingwu glanced at Shen Zhan's nonchalant expression, her heart sank a little, and she replied: "What's so strange, isn't Lord Hou not interested in meddling with court affairs after returning to Beijing? Know what happened so clearly?"

Shen Zhan put down the tea bowl and said, "Qingqing is right, I don't care about court affairs, so I'm here to ask you."

Ye Lingwu lowered her head and said nothing.

"I heard that the prince secretly sent two groups of people out of Beijing a few days ago, one group went to Huainan, and the other group went to Daiyue Town. If I guessed correctly, the prince's goal should be Jiang University scholar. Calculate the time , These two days happen to be the time when those two groups of people return to Beijing." Shen Zhan continued.

Rongxiu Qingju's face was livid, Yuan Tao was trembling all over, the three female envoys looked at each other, feeling uneasy in their hearts, but they didn't know what to say.

Ye Lingwu deliberately glanced at them, and then said: "Master Hou knows everything, so you still ask me?"

Shen Zhan looked at the trembling leaves on the branches outside, which seemed to be falling gradually, turned his head to stare at Ye Lingwu, and said slowly: "I don't know everything, for example, the information found by the prince."

Ye Lingwu's hands under the sleeves were so tight that the veins bulged, and she pretended to be calm: "I don't even know the news that Lord Hou can't find out."

"Your reaction doesn't sound like you don't know."

Ye Lingwu was stunned for a while, then smiled and said: "What do you mean by Hou Ye, today you are here to speak for His Highness the Crown Prince?"

Shen Zhan's dark eyes suddenly sank, and his long eyeliner provoked a little anger. After a moment of silence, he sneered, and said with a straight face: "So Qingqing misses me so much. Then you are wrong." , I never do things for the prince, I only do things for the emperor."

What he said was subtle. The "emperor" he said could be the former emperor, the current emperor, or the future emperor.

Ye Lingwu pondered for a moment, and did not doubt his words. After all, the person in front of him could abandon the powerful Ningbeihou in order to stay away from court disputes.

But there is also a pity that he is not willing to participate in the court disputes, and perhaps he is not willing to speak for Jiang Shiwei.

Ye Lingwu sighed irritably, frowned, and said, "Forgive me for not being able to answer what Hou Ye asked me today. If one day I can't hide it, maybe Hou Ye won't want to know."

The three female envoys didn't know what was going on, they were confused, but hearing Ye Lingwu's tone, they couldn't help sweating, they all looked up at Shen Zhan, and even held their breath.

I thought Shen Zhan would throw the table up, but he was very indifferent, and said leisurely: "Since you don't want to say it, I won't ask, but... If Qingqing needs my help in the future, just ask, if I can do it, I will do it." will help."

The three girls looked relieved at first, but when they heard the second half of the sentence, their hearts instantly rose to their throats.

They were not stupid, and they could tell that Jiang Yuan was about to fall into trouble, but what kind of trouble was it that would require Ning Beihou to come forward?

Ye Lingwu was still worried at first, but when she heard Shen Zhan's words, she hesitated, and thought of breaking the agreement with Jiang Shiwei and telling Shen Zhan's internal affairs.

But soon this idea was dismissed.

She said nonuo: "Thank you, Lord Hou."

Shen Zhan said: "You don't have to thank me, it's not that I don't want to repay you."

Ye Lingwu was startled, and slowly raised her eyes to look at him, and said angrily: "Is that so, then I will take back what I said just now, if something really happens in the future, I still don't bother Lord Hou."

A few days after the words were spoken, the accident happened.

At three o'clock in Haishi, before the thick clouds and mists were cleared by the morning light, a carriage was seen rattling and heading straight to the north of the city.

After half an hour, it stopped in front of a mansion.

Ye Lingwu lifted her skirt and got out of the carriage, and walked quickly to the gate of Jiang's house. It was dark, and there were not many houses with open doors on the long street, but at this moment, the gate of Jiang's house was open.

Just half an hour ago, Ye Lingwu learned the news of Jiang's accident from Rongxiu, and Zuo Si took Jiang Yuan to Tingwei's Mansion.

Although he didn't say what crime he was charged with, he was taken away with chains.

"... Mistress!!" Seeing someone outside the door, Madam Yu ran forward excitedly, "Mistress, help, the Jiang family is in trouble!"

Ye Lingwu hurriedly supported Nanny Yu's crumbling old bones: "Grandma Yu, be careful."

"Mistress must... have heard about the Jiang family. It's hard... Mistress... can come to Jiang's house at this time." Nanny Yu burst into tears, speaking intermittently.

Ye Lingwu frowned, and instead let Qingju Yuantao support Mammy Yu, and went back to the small house to wait for news.

The sky was slightly bright, and the floating clouds were gradually dyed red. It was the time to end the sleep, but in the hall of the small house in the south of the city, someone stayed up all night.

Ye Lingwu sat on top, resting her aching head with one hand.

Not long after, Rongxiu hurriedly stepped across the courtyard and entered the house, panting: "It's not good, mistress, this servant has bribed the servants of Tingwei's mansion, I heard that the lord is being tortured in Tingwei's mansion!"

Ye Lingwu's back froze, and Nanny Yu was so frightened that she jumped up from her chair and said, "What!? You're being punished?!"

Rongxiu pursed her lips and nodded emphatically.

"My servant heard from the servant that the master suffered sixty boards in the prison, and even passed out... The people in Tingwei's mansion were very cruel. His Majesty didn't say convict, but only detained him. Dare to punish the lord!"

As soon as these words came out, Ye Lingwu's hands in his sleeves trembled uncontrollably, and the only blood on his face gradually faded away, completely panicking.

Yuan Tao cried: "The lord is a literati, how can he bear the toss of punishment, the people in Tingwei's mansion are so worthless!"

Qingju was so anxious that her head was sweating: "What should I do, the Lord must not be in trouble."

"Prepare the horse and go to Ningbeihou's Mansion." Ye Lingwu struggled for a while before making a sound.
