A tree of peach blossoms pressing the prime minister

Chapter 72 What Did She Do Wrong?
Since Duan Yunxin entered the mansion, she didn't talk much, and she didn't steal the limelight in front of him. In Shen Zaiye's heart, she was actually a very sensible and indisputable woman.

But he is not stupid, and he has not forgotten that Duan Yunxin is the daughter of Duan Shinan's family, an official in charge of Su, and Duan Shinan has many private contacts with King Yu, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a party member.If someone in this mansion sends news to King Yu, it is always right to ask Duan Yunxin first.

He didn't have any evidence to testify against Duan Shi, so the first thing he did was to use the silent tactic to see if he could force her to admit her mistake.

"Master..." After a while, Duan's legs were a little unsteady, his face was pale, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and he looked very flustered: "What do you want to ask, why don't you just ask me directly, why do you need to scare me like this? "

Smiling slightly, Shen Zaye looked at her and said, "I always prefer people who confess to me rather than asking."

"..." The expression looked even more uneasy, the handkerchief in Duan's hand was almost torn, and the whole person exuded a very helpless aura, weak and frightened, and one glance knew that there was really something to hide with his.

"Still unwilling to say?" Withholding his smile, Shen Zaiye looked at her and said, "Do you want me to check the records of leaving the house from last night to this morning?"

"Master!" Duan Yunxin knelt down, her brows were furrowed, her expression was pitiful: "You don't need to check... the identity of the concubine, the concubine admits her mistake!"

His heart sank slightly, and Shen Zaye's eyes instantly became sharp: "What's wrong with you?"

"You listen to my concubine." Duan Yun gritted her teeth, her eyes filled with tears: "My concubine only just found out about this, and today I made an appointment with the maid in the kitchen to go out to buy vegetables together before dawn. As soon as I walked on the road, I heard some news...Fu Que is a girl brought by my mother's family. She used to listen to her father's words. Whenever there was any news, she... spread it. Come back and tell my wife that it is related to my master. Only then did I know that she had done such a rebellious thing.”

News heard on the road?Shen Zaiye clenched his hands slightly: "Where is she?"

"...She knows that she has done something wrong, so she has already packed her bags and returned to my concubine's family."

You ran pretty fast, but before you run, you should talk about where the news came from, right?Shen Zaiye was a little annoyed, so he reached out and slammed his hand on the mahogany table next to him!
"Master?" Duan Shi was taken aback and quickly shrank back.

Shen Zaiye got up and walked out without saying a word.Zhanlu followed him, glanced at him several times, and whispered: "This time, the slave can also guess what I'm thinking. I know that Mrs. Jiang must have leaked the news, so I'm angry."

"Zhanlu."

"The slave is here!"

Shen Zaiye looked back, looked at him tenderly, and said word by word: "If you dare to guess my mind again, I will pull out your tongue!"

Zhanlu: "..."

Why?He was the one who asked him to guess at the beginning, but now that he guesses correctly, he wants to pull out his tongue?Covering her mouth aggrievedly, Zhan Lu lowered her head and followed behind silently, thinking that women are fickle, and her master is no better than women!
Shen Zaiye didn't go to Zhengchun Pavilion, but went straight back to Linwu Academy, and was locked in the room for two hours.Zhan Lu's guess was correct, only Jiang Taohua knew about his night out, and if any news leaked out, it would only be her who told it.At first he thought that she had no way to pass it on to King Yu, but who knew that she would actually use the maids around Duan Shi.

What a smart woman, damn smart!What good would it do her?
In the afternoon, Taohua happily made peach blossom cakes and took them to the study to say hello.What she thought was that even if Shen Zaiya didn't favor her, it was necessary to have a good relationship.If the old man keeps getting angry with her, it won't do her any good.

However, just as he was about to enter the study, he was stopped by Zhanlu.

"I'll just give you a snack." Holding up the plate in her hand, Tao Hua said with a smile, "It won't delay my work."

"My lady, please go back." Zhanlu shook his head and said, "I don't want to see anyone."

It's not that you have smallpox, why don't you want to see people?Taohua pursed her lips, wandered around the door with a plate for a while, and asked Zhanlu unhappily: "Are you sure I can't enter this door?"

"Yes." Zhan Lu nodded seriously.

"That's good." Taohua nodded, took two steps back and whispered to Qingmoo, "Hold him!"

Qingmo agreed, and confronted Zhanlu.Zhanlu frowned: "What does the lady want to do?"

"Don't do anything, just let her guard here. I'll see if you don't see me alone, or everyone else." Tao Hua said with a smile, and even left Linwu Academy with a plate.

Zhanlu is very disturbed, because Qingtai is a martial artist, and she has never sparred before, so she doesn't know how deep it is.Judging from the aura emanating from her, it seems like she wants to force her way!

Helpless, he could only stare at the servant girl with all his attention, for fear that he would give her some opening and let her break in to make the master angry.

Zhanlu and Qingmo are about the same people, with good strength but not enough brains.He hadn't thought about why Jiang Taohua turned around and went out, and he was only on guard against Qingmos.

Taohua went out with peach cakes, walked around the courtyard wall behind the study, thought for a while, poured a plate of cakes into her sleeve pocket, and then started to climb the wall with the plate!
The courtyard wall of the Prime Minister's Mansion is still not as exaggerated as the palace wall, and it is only a bit laborious to climb up.After a stick of incense, Jiang Taohua lightly landed inside the courtyard wall, and then took out the peach blossom cake again and put it on a plate.

These days, it's so difficult for her to deliver food to others!It's also because of her perseverance, otherwise Shen Zaiya wouldn't be able to eat such delicious cakes!

Complimenting herself in her heart, Tao Hua quickly ran to the window, and slapped the window open with her paw!
Shen Zaiye was frowning and looking at the booklet. The window was on his left, and someone slapped it open so frightened that he almost flew the booklet out.

"what are you doing!"

Seeing the person coming, his face became more serious: "Does the rules in this mansion have no effect on you at all?"

Tao Hua was startled, feeling that Shen Du Snake seemed particularly irritable today, shouldn't she insist on coming?

However, it's rare for her to make such a delicious snack with her own hands. It doesn't have any paste and doesn't add too much sugar. Even the moss says it's delicious, so she just wants to give him a taste.

"Concubine... I will send you a peach blossom cake." Taohua carefully held the plate over, looked up at him and said, "Zhanlu said that you can't enter the door, so I chose the window, not because I want to go in, sir, don't do that." Fierce..."

Look at her pitiful appearance, her eyes are blinking, her mouth is flattened, she looks like a child who has been scolded by adults for doing something good, she is extremely innocent.

If it was before, Shen Zaiye might have softened his heart, but today, his face is really not good-looking, so he just looked at her like this, and said coldly: "Take it back, don't come here without my order."

"..." Tilting her head, Tao Hua asked, "Did I do something wrong?"

"You're very smart." Shen Zaiye said with a nonchalant smile, "So you can't do anything wrong."

Even if she really did something wrong, with her perfect tongue, she could still clean herself up, so he didn't even bother to say anything.

Taohua couldn't react a little bit, she held her hands high, the plate was trembling slightly, her eyes were very dazed.She opened her mouth to ask, but she didn't know what to ask. After thinking about it, she still cheekily stuffed the cake into his arms: "Then why don't you try it? I'll leave after tasting it!"

As soon as his eyes sank, Shen Zaiye waved his hand and threw the plate on the desk, looked at her impatiently, and shouted outside: "Zhanlu!"

Zhan Lu, who was still confronting Qing Moss, ran in quickly, and was startled when he saw the situation: "Ms. Jiang, didn't you leave?"

"I'm back again." Taohua laughed dryly, was shaken by Shen Zaiya's hostility, took two steps back and said, "Don't delay my master's work, my concubine will resign."

After speaking, he ran as fast as a rabbit.

Shen Zaiye glanced at Zhanlu displeasedly: "How can I rest assured that you do things like this?"

Zhan Lu quickly knelt down and said very seriously: "Don't worry, sir, unless I have your order, I will never let Lady Jiang come near this yard again!"

Pursing his lips, Shen Zaiye waved his hands: "Go out and have someone add some nails to the wall. How can I feel at ease when a woman can climb over a wall at will?"

"Yes!" Zhan Lu agreed, and hurriedly withdrew.

The doors and windows were closed again, and Shen Zaiye returned to the table and took a look at the peach blossom cake.The pink and tender color should look delicious, but, who knows what she will put in it?

On the way back to Zhengchun Pavilion, Taohua was very depressed. She didn't understand what Shen Zaiya was doing and why he suddenly became like this.Maybe it's because of the annoyance of the government affairs, so he didn't like her at all?
Then it's better not to disturb him recently, so as not to be affected.

"Master." Qingmo was even more worried: "Does the master hate you?"

"It's possible." Shrugging her shoulders, Tao Hua said: "Let's wait and see after a while, anyway, Mrs. Gu will definitely be favored. With her here, our life will not be too sad."

"Yes."

Her guess was very accurate, and Shen Zaiye went to Wenqing Pavilion that night.

When Gu Huairou greeted her in the yard, she couldn't help being amazed, Tao Hua said that the Lord would spoil her today, and the Lord really came.How much does she know about Grandpa's thoughts?

"I'm terrified, and while I'm still thinking about it, I'm actually favored by my master." Bowing his head and saluting, Gu Huairou whispered: "Is this against the rules?"

"This Xiangfu is mine. What rules can govern me?" Shen Zaye chuckled, reached out to help her up and said, "Your father has helped me a lot recently, and if he wrongs his daughter again, won't I become a successor?" Heartbroken?"

Gu Huairou smiled, very happy.If her father is obedient, her life will be much easier.

The other people in the courtyard were naturally dissatisfied, so how could Gu Huairou be able to sleep while she was being punished?But on the second day of bedtime, Shen Zaiye announced that Gu's crimes would be absolved, and as long as her heart was good, she would forget the past.

"It's ridiculous!" Liu Xiangjun supported Duan Shi to walk in the garden, and said as he walked, "It seems that the master really doesn't care about Sister Meng."
