Yan Yan Yugui

Chapter 328
"What? Your royal father really rewarded you with your royal grandfather's house?" Lu Zhaonan trembled when he heard the news, and almost spilled the tea.

Seeing his exaggerated reaction, Xiao Qian thought that a person as deep and introverted as the fourth brother would lose control of his emotions for a moment, and he didn't dare to imagine how much shock it would cause when the news spread.

"It seems that I'm about to become the biggest target." Xiao Qian sighed helplessly.

"What does it matter if you are a target? Only you three are qualified to be a target in Dasheng Dynasty, and you are the biggest target. There is a saying that opportunities and risks coexist. How many people can go to that position smoothly since ancient times? The so-called "smoothness" is just that other people seem to be smooth, and the turbulent undercurrent hidden underneath is not visible to everyone, Xiao Qian, don't be afraid, you still have me!" Lu Zhaonan said excitedly and optimistically.

Xiao Qian smiled wryly, and tapped on the official documents piled up on the table with his fingers: "Thank God you don't make trouble for me, you! Let me deal with all these official documents for me!"

He used to be a little transparent, not afraid to make friends with the sensitive Lu Zhaonan, but now his identity is also sensitive.

He knew what Lu Zhaonan was thinking, and the Pingnan Palace must never be involved.

Otherwise, Pingnan Palace will not be far from disaster.

Lu Zhaonan also understood that Xiao Qian didn't want the Pingnan Palace to be involved.

"I was going to help you deal with these things, so I didn't intend for you to come here today. Guan Sheng and the others even said that they would come to see you with me after they got off the Yamen."

Xiao Qian poured some water into the inkstone and picked up the grinder.

Lu Zhaonan hurriedly snatched it away, and said while studying the ink, "Didn't you let me handle it? What? I can't help it anymore?"

"I'm just writing a letter. You can tell everyone later, don't come to my house to see me. You also know that my father stuffed twenty guards in my place in one go. I can't even move around." No more." Xiao Qian said angrily, and it was not convenient for Yan Yan to come and see him.

"It sounds like you're still not satisfied. Your imperial brothers heard this, and they will definitely spray you in the face." Lu Zhaonan laughed.

Xiao Qian shook his head helplessly, dipping his pen into the ink.

Lu Zhaonan took a glance, saw that he had written Yanyan's name, and hurriedly turned his eyes away.

Lin Yanyan received a letter from Xiao Qian, saying that his second uncle was ginsenged by the adults of Yushitai early this morning, but he was fine.

"Sure enough, that person doesn't want to let Ding'anhou's residence go." Feng Hua said.

"Then... the second master will be okay? Will the Hou family be implicated?" Jin Xin worried.

"If it weren't for your young lady to make a quick decision and take precautions, things will happen now, Yanyan, do you want to tell your second uncle, lest he still hate you in his heart." Feng Hua said.

Lin Yanyan smiled: "No, of course someone will tell him."

This matter is over, there is nothing to worry about, she doesn't care if the second uncle resents her, as long as she keeps the Hou Mansion from being implicated.

Now she is most worried about another thing that Xiao Qian said in the letter.

What does it mean that the emperor rewarded Xiao Qian with the former emperor's former residence?
Support Xiao Qian's position, and play the emperor's trade-offs?Or are you really optimistic about Xiao Qian?

The Sacred Heart is unpredictable, but no matter what the emperor thinks, it will be difficult for Xiao Qian to be clean if he owns this mansion. There is only one dead end.

Lin Shuqi hurried back to the mansion and went straight to Mingxiang Garden.

Since Lin Zhongkun resigned from office, he was depressed and drank alone in the room.

After a new year, I didn't go anywhere, and no one came. Thinking about the bustle and bustle of previous years, I was overwhelmed by the traffic, and I can only sigh desolately about the current situation.

"Second Brother, Second Brother..." Lin Shuqi opened the door and entered.

Seeing that the second elder brother was unshaven and unkempt, he was still drinking there.

Stepped forward and snatched the flagon.

"Second brother, stop drinking."

Lin Zhongkun looked up at his third brother, who was wearing an official uniform: "Why are you back? Isn't the office open today?"

"Second brother, I heard that in the court today, several adults from Yushitai jointly signed a book for you, and also showed evidence that you received...received those things, and they also knew that I was the one who dealt with it. It is clear how much money you got. Second brother, tell me honestly, who is holding you back?"

Lin Shuqi has always believed in the second brother. The second brother said that he bought the treasured things because he wanted to trust favors and lack of money, so he believed it. After the bank note was handed over to Shuntian Mansion and he resigned from office, he wondered if his second brother had offended someone.

Today, Mr. Tongzheng Envoy came back from court and summoned him, and gave him a reprimand and admonishment. Only then did he know that his second brother had been ginseng, so he hurriedly asked for leave and came back.

Lin Zhongkun was startled, nervously said: "Really?"

"That's still false."

"Third brother, then... what's the situation now? Will the government come to arrest me? What should I do? What should I do?" Lin Zhongkun was like a headless chicken, suddenly lost his mind.

Lin Shuqi said: "Second brother, I now understand why Yanyan asked you to hand over the money to Shuntian Mansion."

Only His Highness the Tenth Highness will help Ding'anhou's Mansion.

"His Royal Highness has already explained for you in the court hall that the 16 taels have been handed over to the treasury, and said that you did not resign in fear of crime, but that you lost your wife and were exhausted physically and mentally. He must have said a lot of good things for you in front of His Majesty. , so His Majesty has no intention of pursuing it, this matter is over."

Lin Zhongkun wiped the cold sweat from his brow. Before that, he thought that maybe he could pass the matter without resigning from office. If Yan Yan hadn't forced him, he would really be reluctant to part with the income he earned from half his life, but now he just wants to say one thing... Fortunately.

"Second brother, tell me, who is going to deal with you? Who have you offended?" Lin Shuqi asked.

"Don't ask."

"Second brother, how can I not ask, if it's just a quarrel in the officialdom, or someone who doesn't get along with you wants to deal with you, then that's fine, but I always feel that this person seems to be targeting our entire Ding'anhou mansion, second brother , if you don’t want to tell me, I’ll ask Yanyan.”

Lin Zhongkun struggled and said, "It's Princess Xinyang."

Lin Shuqi is stupid, how could...

"She has nothing to do with our Hou Mansion!"

"Don't worry about the specifics, anyway, you should be more careful." That crazy woman couldn't do anything, and she probably wouldn't let it go.Yan Yan is not in the officialdom, and she is shrewd. Princess Xinyang failed to deal with her several times, but the third child is different. The third child is sincere and has no defense against others.

"I have nothing to worry about. I'm just a small official of the General Secretary, and I have no real power in my hands."

"If someone is determined to deal with it, can they not find your fault? Yes, I will press one for you. Don't take it lightly. Also, don't tell your mother about it. Your mother's health is getting worse day by day. Don't let me She's terrified again."

Lin Shuqi nodded: "I won't say it."
