Only this green, not disappointing the spring

When Magistrate Zou returned to the inn, he still had expectations, thinking that he was attracted by Liu's understanding, virtue and kindness.

Although she has become a little strong now, I think her inherent qualities will remain.

But when he entered the house, he saw the mess on the floor and the person with swollen eyes from crying. He immediately ordered the servant beside him to prepare a car and send the person back to the county government office.

He just said coldly: "If you still can't figure it out after you go back, I will send you back home, and you don't have to follow me to suffer in office anymore."

Liu was choked and almost fainted. If she was not allowed to accompany him, who would he let accompany him? A beautiful young concubine? !

It was not until this time that Liu truly felt the crisis, which forced her to temporarily suppress her temper and start to be humble.

……

Fu Qiuyang and his group enjoyed the meal very much, but the people working in the cafeteria were exhausted, including Baili Nanqing.

Zhao was mainly responsible for cooking, but she didn't expect that so many people would order seven-treasure soup today. Baili Nanqing originally wanted to find a simple and easy job, so she chose to prepare the dishes.

Now that's a problem, it's still a bit difficult to assign three extra people to help!

Zhou Xiaoxi felt particularly bad when he saw Baili Nanqing, who looked so miserable, stretching and pounding her back in exhaustion.

Because her identity was not convenient to be made public, she could only follow Yang Zian and call her aunt in public.

"Aunt, please go home and rest. There are others doing the work here."

Baili Nanqing felt warmed at heart when she heard this, but she still shook her head and refused.

"I'm not tired. Your grandmother and your mother are busy. I'm strong and healthy, so don't worry."

"But they are all paid to do this, and you are the only one who is just helping out. If you get too tired, we will all feel guilty."

Zhou Xiaoxi was very persistent.

She vaguely guessed that her mother might be a martial artist, but she must not have done any housework on a daily basis, so there was no need for her to try to please her family.

Zhao also spoke immediately:

"Madam Shangguan, just follow Xiaoxi home and rest. We country folk are used to it and don't feel anything, but it's different for you. You will definitely be sore all over tomorrow."

Li also smiled and nodded. This Madam Shangguan did not have the dignity and arrogance of a lady from an aristocratic family at all. After such a long time, everyone looked at her with admiration.

Even if Xiaoxi follows her back to the capital in the future, she will feel at ease.

Since everyone was persuading her, Baili Nanqing no longer forced herself. It was indeed a bit difficult for her to do these things.

So he smiled and said:

"Okay, I'll go and rest for a while. Xiaoxi, can I go to your room?"

"It's natural!"

Sitting on the bed where her daughter usually slept and sniffing the faint scent of soapberries, Baili Nanqing felt unprecedented peace of mind and relaxation.

She finally found her daughter, how great!

Holding Zhou Xiaoxi's hand, she asked gently:

"Qingyue, tell me what you want to do. What is the thing you most want to achieve? I will do my best to help you achieve it!"

Before knowing his true identity, Zhou Xiaoxi just wanted to live a good life with no worries about food and clothing, and do what he likes every day, and that's all.

In her previous life, she was always pushed forward and never had the chance to enjoy life. Now that she has a chance to start over, she just wants to cherish the present.

But now that I know my identity, the things I longed for before seem to be within my reach. All my efforts seem to have become meaningless.

She said frankly:

"Mother, I'm not sure. But one thing is for sure, I hope I can do everything by myself, and you don't need to make up for anything."

She held the other's slightly cold hand tightly and comforted him:

"I really have never blamed you, so don't feel indebted to you. If you do feel indebted, it's to the person who caused the separation between us mother and daughter."

Yes, during this period of time, Baili Nanqing was only concerned with spending time with her daughter and actually forgot such an important thing!

It was only then that she remembered that her youngest son seemed to have never written to her. She didn't know how his affairs were going.

Shangguan Lan was not at his maternal grandparents' home at this time, but had returned to the capital. As for Shangguan Yunxin, she lived with Baili Nanqing's stand-in at her maternal grandparents' home.

Shangguan Yunxin is responsible for finding out the traitors among the travelers, while Shangguan Lan is responsible for finding out the traitors hiding in the family in the capital.

The attack on Baili Nanqing required at least two people to work together inside and outside, and it was definitely not something that could be done by one person.

It was a great shame and humiliation for Shangguan Chong that he had kept a traitor in his house for more than ten years.

At the same time, he felt very confused. As a scholar in the Imperial College, he was not involved in party disputes and had no chance to embezzle or accept bribes. Who was trying to make things difficult for him?

"Dad, since the other party always makes things difficult for my sister for some reason, why don't we do something about it?"

At this time, the father and his two sons were all in the study. They dismissed all the maids and servants, and even ordered the guards to keep a strict watch.

It ensures the confidentiality of the conversation while making it known to everyone.

As for the reason, it is naturally to lure the fish into the bait.

Shangguan Lan asked:

"Brother, do you mean to let my sister come back? Not to mention whether she is willing or not, wouldn't this put her in danger? Mother will never agree! If she knew, she would be so angry that she would kick you a few times."

Shangguan Chong glared at his youngest son.

"What are you talking about, little brat? Do you think I, your father, would let your sister take risks? She is also my precious daughter! Song'er, your father doesn't agree with your method either."

"Dad, that's also my precious sister!" Shangguan Song's tone was full of accusations and dissatisfaction.

"Okay, then tell me how to do it. You've only just entered the officialdom, how come you've already learned to beat around the bush!"

Shangguan Chong was very troubled by his eldest son's maturity at such a young age. All the family members were very simple-minded and he didn't know where this boy learned his behavior.

Shangguan Song was speechless when he saw his father's true colors revealed after only a quarter of an hour. If the whole family was heartless, would their family still have a place in Kyoto in the future?

"What I mean is that we can spread the word that my little sister has finally been found. Mother will be able to bring my little sister back to Beijing in a few days.

In this way, the traitors at home and on the side of my grandparents should be exposed. Of course, the premise is that we have to plan properly. "

He must make sure this is absolutely foolproof!

Shangguan Song was six years old when his little sister was lost. He could remember everything by then. Since his little sister was born, he would go to see her every morning and evening.

But on the day when his sister was stolen away by the nanny, he had a stomach upset for no apparent reason and was so weak that he could only stay in bed to rest. His mother also happened to have caught a cold and was afraid that she would pass the disease on to his sister, so she had to let the nanny take care of her.

This all seems too coincidental!

So he immediately asked:

"Dad, do you remember why my mother caught a cold before my sister was stolen? My mother was afraid that she would infect my little sister with the disease, so she was always very careful. Now that I think about it, it was most likely man-made!

Besides, I have never been a greedy person since I was a child, and I would never eat anything randomly. If I hadn’t had a stomachache, I would have gone to see my sister…”
