After the divorce, the four big guys became my servants

On the second day, the news that the Minister of Revenue Lin Jiangqi had died in the bed of a prostitute in a brothel spread like wildfire.

This is really a very ugly way to die, and everyone in the Lin family feels extremely ashamed.

When Emperor Chu learned about this, he became even more angry and found fault with several people who were on good terms with Minister Lin.

The one who was most afraid was naturally Prince of Jing Yuwenqi.

Because he was one of the people who was good friends with Minister Lin, he hid at home on the pretext of being sick.

Meng Zhaoge laughed at him behind his back for being a coward.

She went to ask about the Lin family again, and Yuan Jinglie told her: "The Lin family planned to bury the body, but they probably felt ashamed, so they asked the Dali Temple to conduct a thorough investigation on the day of the incident."

"They all want to save face." said Meng Zhaoge.

Because of this incident, Yuan Jinglie received a reward from Wujian Pavilion, three hundred taels of silver.

"It seems that the distinguished guest is very generous." Yuan Jinglie said.

Shen Jing said: "Of course, how can we not kill more ministers of the imperial court?"

Yuan Jinglie: "Call me more often if you have any missions in the future."

Shen Jing raised his eyebrows: "Oh, are you saving money for your wife?"

The boy just smiled and said nothing, agreeing.

And Shen Jing really took good care of him. In the next few days, he assigned him two more tasks.

Every time after killing someone, he would take a bath in Wujian Pavilion to wash off the smell of blood on his body before returning to Prince Jing's Mansion.

On his way back that day, he met a girl on the roadside.

There was a man next to the girl, dressed in tight clothes, pulling her skinny body and trying to take her away.

Seeing Yuan Jinglie, the girl's eyes lit up and she called out to him, "Master! Save me!"

Following the voice, the man turned around and looked at Yuan Jinglie.

The young man then saw clearly that the man holding her was Wei Tingfeng from the Dali Temple.

Yuan Jinglie had no interest in meddling in other people's business, but when he looked closely, he found that the girl was the one who was with Lin Jiangqi in Yihong Courtyard that day.

If he doesn't help her, will she tell his secret?

Thinking of this, Yuan Jinglie could only step forward and say, "Master Wei, I'm afraid this is not appropriate."

Wei Tingfeng glanced at him calmly and recognized him: "The little follower beside Princess Jing? I'm afraid I don't need your help as I am doing now."

"Lord Wei is of noble status. If someone were to see him robbing a woman on the street, he would inevitably be impeached by the censors."

Yuan Jinglie thought for him: "You are not short of women, why bother with this dirty girl."

Wei Tingfeng sneered and took a deep look at the girl on the ground with a hostile look on her face.

Well, you really don’t know how to appreciate a good person.

"Forget it." He let go of the girl: "Since you want to be a hero and save the beauty, I'll let you do it."

Anyway, he just needs to make sure that the girl doesn't end up in a brothel again.

Wei Tingfeng turned and left.

Yuan Jinglie helped her out and asked, "Are you okay?"

The girl shook her head and got up from the ground. "Thank you, sir, for saving me again. My name is Liu Yuan."

Yuan Jinglie: "You don't have to tell me your name. I'm leaving now."

He didn't want to get entangled with her any more, but the girl kept following him.

This girl was very good at deceiving herself. As soon as he stopped and looked back, she pretended nothing happened and looked away.

As if he couldn't spot her.

Yuan Jinglie frowned and walked up to her: "Don't you have anywhere to go? I want to go home."

Liu Yuan shook her head with red eyes: "...No."

She begged, "Master, can I go back with you? I can do whatever you want me to do. I can be a maid and do any rough work."

Yuan Jinglie didn't expect that his momentary kindness would actually get him into trouble.

He was not a good-tempered person. He lowered his voice and said, "Do you know what it means to be aggressive? I can kill that man, and I can kill you too."

Liu Yuan's face was filled with fear and she burst into tears.

When Yuan Jinglie thought she was going to back down, she cried, "Then please kill me, sir. I would rather die than be caught and taken back to the brothel after being discovered."

As she spoke, she closed her eyes and looked like she was begging for death.

But there were people coming and going on the street, and Yuan Jinglie couldn't possibly kill her here.

What's more, he was just threatening. How could he really do something to a powerless woman?

In desperation, Yuan Jinglie could only temporarily take her to the house that Shen Jing gave him.

The house was called Jingyuan, and it had all the necessary facilities. It was bought by Shen Jing for his lover to live in. However, they broke up before he could give the house away.

Yuan Jinglie placed Liu Yuan there and said coldly as he left: "I can only take you in for a while, you should find another place to go as soon as possible."

Liu Yuan was a little disappointed and asked him, "I see no one is living here, can I stay and serve you?"

"No!" Yuan Jinglie hardened his tone: "Don't..."

The girl interrupted him: "I understand. I won't be so arrogant anymore."

Yuan Jinglie choked, felt upset, and then left Jingyuan.

That day, he took in a girl who had nowhere to go for no apparent reason.

It seemed like he had done a good thing, but Yuan Jinglie felt uneasy and always felt that something was going to happen.

But after a few days, nothing happened. He was studying with Mr. Guo while practicing in Wujian Pavilion.

I once went back to Jingyuan and saw that Liu Yuan had kept the house in order and even planted vegetables in the yard.

This girl didn't seem to be approaching him with any purpose.

He had to hide the strange feeling in his heart for the time being.

Soon, it was mid-April.

After pretending to be dead for several months, General Mingxi's mansion finally dared to open its door.

Because the 15th is Mrs. Meng’s birthday.

The Meng family was going to hold a grand birthday banquet and sent invitations widely, including to the Prince of Jing's Mansion.

Meng Zhaoge received the post and threw it on the table.

"If I were them, I would be embarrassed to invite Her Majesty." Mo Huan said sarcastically.

Meng Zhaoge laughed: "Of course they have to invite me. If they don't invite me, they will be criticized even more."

Mo Huan asked: "Are you going?"

Meng Zhaoge said: "Go, of course I have to go."

At that time, in front of the guests, the Meng family will definitely try to please her in various ways and show that the family is harmonious in order to restore their reputation.

It's so interesting to see the three monkeys acting for their own benefit.

Not only did she have to go, she also had to prepare a big gift for Mrs. Meng.

The next day, Meng Zhaoge went out to a jewelry store on the street and picked out an expensive jade hairpin for Mrs. Meng.

When I came out, I happened to meet a familiar figure.

The boy walked into an alley and didn't see her.

Meng Zhaoge hesitated to speak: "Alie..."

Mo Huan also saw Yuan Jinglie and asked curiously, "Young Master Yuan should be attending classes at this time, where is he going?"

Meng Zhaoge didn't say anything, but he was vaguely worried in his heart.

In Chai'an, it seems that the only places where Alie hangs out are Prince Jing's Mansion and Mr. Guo's home. Why did he go to that alley?

There are no restaurants or teahouses in that alley.

"Your Majesty, do you want to go and take a look?" Mo Huan saw that she was worried and offered to do so.
