Ma'am, your vest fell off again

Chapter 259
The rhetoric was indeed flawless, and no one could find fault. Li Junhao stared at her for a moment, and did not continue the topic.

"Let's rest for a while, and leave for Kyoto tomorrow."

"it is good."

After being injured in the carriage for a few days, Fu Xuanrong began to transform into a peacock form before arriving in the capital. Fortunately, the system gave a warning in advance, otherwise she would have to reveal her secrets in front of Li Junhao.

He went back to Prince Li's mansion without incident. Li Junhao was summoned to the palace by the emperor for his meritorious service in suppressing the mob. Fu Xuanrong was so bored that he simply went back to the side courtyard to play with the birds.

"Gah, the little bastard is back, the little bastard is back!"

"I said Fugui, can't you say something nice? Even if you want to scold, you have to target the one in the next yard. Let's calm down when you come back."

"Bah! Pickled meat!"

The parrot learned a lot of swear words after being in the bandit's den for a few days, which made Fu Xuanrong deeply troubled.

"Master Rong, you can be considered to be back. There has been a major incident in the prime minister's mansion during this period of time."

Fu Xuanrong glanced at Lian Xin suspiciously, "Huh? What's the big deal?"

"Second Miss can't stand Miss Liu Yuan, and a fight broke out after a few words of disagreement. The Eldest Prince intervened, but Second Miss still cried, made trouble, and hanged herself. Now the imperial censor is so popular that he wants to divorce the engagement!"

"What?!" That idiot Fu Ming really didn't stop for a day, "Prepare your horse, go to Liu's Mansion!"

"Yes."

Liu's backyard.

Liu Yuan was slapped by Fu Ming a few days ago, and the five finger marks on her cheeks are still there. When she saw Fu Xuanrong approaching, her eyes turned red and she almost cried, "Xuan Rong, what should I do, Second Miss? She doesn't like me, and said that as long as she doesn't nod, I won't be able to enter the Marquis Mansion for the rest of my life."

"What do you care about that woman, this marriage was bestowed by the emperor, what is she!"

"That being said, she is my sister-in-law, and I had such a fight with her before I got started. In the future..."

Fu Xuanrong patted her on the shoulder, "She is a girl, she will leave the court sooner or later, besides, after my brother gets married, he will definitely live in another house, you just need to avoid her."

Liu Yuan wiped away her tears, "I am quite easy-going, why does she dislike me so much?"

"Hey, you don't live with her, you care so much about what to do, besides, there are me and brother, she can't bully you." In the end, this matter is also due to Fu Zipei, who even protects his own daughter-in-law. Can't live.

Seemingly seeing what Fu Xuanrong was thinking, Liu Yuan argued: "Xuan Rong, Zi Pei can't be blamed for this incident. At that time, he was handling government affairs in the imperial court, and I was invited to drink tea at the prime minister's mansion. Who would have thought that something would happen to the second lady?" There were some quarrels, and then a fight broke out. After Zi Pei rushed back, he had already scolded the second young lady severely."

"It's useless to scold, that woman Fu Ming doesn't shed tears when she sees the coffin, did you fight back?"

"Well, I slapped her too, and no one owes anyone else."

Fu Xuanrong breathed a sigh of relief, "That's fine, remember, in this kind of Houmen compound, if you are timid and fearful, you are destined to be bullied. These people are all bullies, understand?"

Liu Yuan nodded with tears in her eyes, "Yes, I understand."

"That's fine, go and wash your face, your eyes are swollen."

"it is good."

Liu Yuan got up and went outside to wash her face. Holding a cup of tea, Fu Xuanrong looked around the room.

Now that Liu Changze is not here, there is only Liu Yuan as the master in the mansion, maybe she can take this opportunity to find out where the secret edict left by the late emperor is.

After a while, Liu Yuan had freshened up, and Fu Xuanrong coughed a few times, and said, "Yuan'er, I heard that Mrs. Liu has a lot of treasures in his collection, and I have nothing to do around me, so I wonder if you can take me to open my eyes?"

"Of course, you can come with me." Liu Yuan was a simple-minded person, so she agreed without saying a word.

The two walked side by side, and stood in a secluded yard after half a cup of tea.

"Xuanrong, here are all kinds of landscape paintings and famous books collected by my father. Unfortunately, I am not interested in these, so I haven't been here much."

Fu Xuanrong nodded, "Then let's go in and have a look together?"

"Go ahead, I'm sleepy when I see this."

These words hit Fu Xuanrong's heart, "Okay, then I'll come out after a while, you go back, don't blow the cold wind outside."

"Ah."

Watching Liu Yuan go away, Fu Xuanrong stretched out her hand and pushed open the wooden door. The light inside was a little dim. There were rows and rows of ancient books on the bookshelves, and rare rare calligraphy by famous masters hung on the walls.

"Tsk, Mr. Liu is indeed an elegant person. With so many paintings, selling a few of them will be enough for the family to eat and drink."

She clicked her tongue a few times, and groped carefully in various dark places with her fingers, trying to see if there were any mechanism or other things. It's a mahogany box.

Fu Xuan was overjoyed, and quickly opened the wooden box, inside was lying quietly an imperial decree embroidered with golden dragons.

She had obviously been looking forward to it for a long time, but when she actually saw it, Fu Xuanrong was a little apprehensive.

She was afraid that there was something in it that she didn't want to know, but in order to promise Yu Chimu, she still held her breath and spread the imperial decree in front of her.

"..." After scanning ten lines at a glance, Fu Xuanrong staggered back a step in disbelief, "How could this happen!"

Yu Chimu, how is this possible!

Before she could finish digesting this shocking secret, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door. Fu Xuanrong was startled, and hurriedly put the imperial decree back, and put the secret compartment back.

"Squeak~"

The door was pushed open at the sound, and Liu Changze obviously rushed over, breathing a little short of breath, "Master Rong!"

Fu Xuanrong was holding an ink painting in her hand, she turned her head to look at Liu Changze, and pretended to be surprised: "Master Liu, are you in court?"

"Yes, I heard from Yuan'er that you are here, so I came here to take a look."

"So that's the case, Mr. Liu, you are really hiding everything. If you sell so many calligraphy treasures, how many houses will you have to exchange?"

Liu Changze glanced at the mechanism as if there was nothing, and looked at Fu Xuanrong for a moment. Seeing that her expression was sincere and there was nothing wrong, he let out a long breath, "Master Rong, why are you still thinking about the house?"

Fu Xuanrong laughed loudly, "Oh, I don't have to go to court now, and my mind is full of the family's one-acre three-point land, which makes Master Liu laugh."

"What's the matter, if Mr. Rong likes something, you might as well take one."

"No need, calligraphy and painting, you can just look at them. Mr. Liu must be a little tired just after he came back, so I won't bother you here."

"Well, let the adults go slowly."
