Rebirth of the original wife

Chapter 413

The three siblings were chatting bustlingly. In the study, Qin Muyin came back. Li Zhongqing had gone early and hadn't come back yet. Qin Muyin casually flipped through two books, both of which were handed down by Li Wan's ancestors, and they were really priceless. After laying down the pages one by one, there was only the rustling sound of flipping through the books in the study room. Qin Muyin's expression was focused, and he didn't notice when Li Zhongqing came back.

"Master Hou is here?" Li Zhongqing returned to the mansion, and the emperor made a decision about the Xia mansion in the court. All the people in the group were confiscated, dismissed from office, and exiled from Beijing, except Xia Wenbang. The emperor said that Xia Wenbang was old, and the people below The three children are malleable talents, so only Xia Wenbang was removed from his official position, which saved him the pain of exile.

"Father-in-law." Qin Muyin put down the book in his hand and stood up to salute Li Zhongqing with a submissive attitude and a calm expression.

Li Zhongqing was very satisfied with this son-in-law. Others said that Li's mansion had overtaken the Marquis's mansion, but Qin Muyin's attitude towards Li's mansion had always been modest and polite, and he had never looked down on them. The gap in Beiyanhou's Mansion has also narrowed.

"Why didn't you accompany Wan'er?" Li Zhongqing thought for a while, thinking that Wan'er left her to talk to Li Wei in Li Cheng by herself. The atmosphere in Li's mansion has been bad for almost half a year, and it can't be resolved overnight. However, Li Cheng's attitude towards things that he values ​​more, even though he doesn't like Liu Shi in his heart and is cold in private, he has given enough face to Liu Shi in front of outsiders. Now, Liu's behavior is low-key, which is what Li Zhongqing likes to hear.

The number one scholar was Qin Muyu, Qin Muyu was old, and he was not complacent about winning the number one. Licheng was just a candidate, and it didn't matter at all in front of people's eyes. It's good that the Liu family was born, so don't worry about it getting into trouble everywhere.

"I see that their siblings have a lot to say about their reunion after a long absence. By the way, you said you have something to tell me, but what else is going on in the court?" Li Zhongqing was not acting out of ground, he must have discovered something.

Li Zhongqing sat down, Qin Muyin poured him a cup of tea and handed it to him, Li Zhongqing took it, the tea was still warm, Li Zhongqing took a sip.

"The matter of the Xia Mansion has come out, Lord Hou, I always feel something is wrong with this matter. You know how much your uncle usually behaves. I believe that he is close to some officials, but he is accused of forming a party for personal gain, embezzlement and bribery. , I'm afraid there is something hidden in it, the emperor didn't send anyone to check the money of the Xia Mansion, I don't think your uncle may have money in his hand."

Qin Muyin's eyes sank. Li Zhongqing meant that there was someone behind Xia Wenbang, and his expression tightened. Qin Muyin carefully thought about the people who were usually close to Xia's mansion, and there was nothing suspicious among them, "Father-in-law, you are usually in Beijing. Have you ever noticed that among the people who come in and out of the Xia Mansion, are there any people who don't look like those in Beijing?"

Before, Qin Muyin had been suspicious of one thing, but later, he also forgot about Li Wan's injury.

Li Zhongqing shook his head. He is now the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishments, and he is only responsible for arresting people and investigating cases. He doesn't pay much attention to Xia Mansion, but he can see the flaws in Xia Wenbang's words and deeds. Xia Mansion is basically in the capital with Li Mansion in the capital However, Xia Wenbang's clothes are very simple this year, obviously the clothes of previous years. He has not carefully understood the affairs of the back house, but Liu's temperament of saving money will never forget to add a few clothes to the people in the house every season. New clothes, not to mention that Mrs. Zhao pays more attention to rules in this aspect than Mrs. Liu.

"I understand. By the way, did Concubine Jin and Empress Dowager have any misunderstanding before?" Entering the palace yesterday, Concubine Jin alluded to her bad luck. Those who treat Concubine Jin badly, not to mention, Concubine Jin is also the initial mother of the Emperor.

"The empress is in charge of everything in the harem so that no one can make a mistake, and she is filial to the empress dowager. After all, the emperor came out of her belly. The empress dowager Jin probably thinks that she should be taller than the empress dowager." I also said about the banquet. The Empress Dowager Jin used to be indifferent to the world. If there was no queen mother, she would be the most honorable person in the harem.Concubine Jin felt uncomfortable.

As Qin Muyin expected, Concubine Jin was dissatisfied because the Empress Dowager had the same attitude towards her as she did to the Empress Dowager. Qin Muyin felt that Concubine Jin was overthinking it. The identity of Empress Dowager was there, and Empress Dowager favored one over another, and there must have been gossip from others.

"Does the emperor know?"

"The emperor may have sensed it. However, the emperor doesn't get involved in matters in the harem. I think it's not easy for the empress to be in the middle." Elder sister speaks well and does things well, after all, her status is low. As for the remaining one, it's good that she doesn't cause trouble for the empress all day long.

Li Zhongqing paused, then continued, "I'm worried that the empress dowager will turn her anger on Wan'er, especially now that she is pregnant with a child. When you bring her into the palace, remember to avoid the empress dowager." The water in the palace was deep, Li Zhongqing didn't want Li Wan to be involved.

"My son-in-law understands."

The two talked for a long time, Qin Muyin asked a lot about Li Wan's childhood, and Li Wan's favorite food, there was never a moment when Qin Muyin was so uncomfortable, the dinner table was often the dishes he and the old lady liked, he didn't even ask What does Li Wan like to eat? Seeing that she eats everything, it is unbelievable that she is so picky about food.

The servant outside said that it was time for dinner, Li Zhongqing stopped the conversation with Qin Muyin, "Wan'er has a lot of bad temper, Lord Hou, please take care of me."

Qin Muyin restrained his emotions, and said solemnly, "Father-in-law, don't hurt my son-in-law, just call me Muyin from now on, Wan'er has a good temper, everyone in the Hou family respects him very much, don't worry, you and mother-in-law." Qin Muyin thought I didn't go into details about Li Wan's injury, but Li Zhongqing knew that Li Wan was pregnant with a child and could understand her hardships at that time.

After lunch, Qin Muyin led Li Wan back to her room to rest. Li Wan's room was decorated gorgeously. Qin Muyin didn't know that she liked such gorgeous colors. Very, "I will save all the bed sheets you use a lot on weekdays, look at this..."

Mrs. Liu took out a colorful bed sheet from the closet and prepared to change it for Li Wan. The bed sheet was made of various patterns and colors. Li Wan liked to put the colors together for a while. For this bed sheet, Mrs. Liu even made a fuss with her, saying The good cloth was cut by her so that there was not much left, Li Wan replied at that time, "That's just right, I'll make a floral dress."
