The lady of Chongxi has supernatural powers and is favored by the powerful official

The emperor's wrath would most likely result in rivers of blood.

Gong Yu didn't know whether it would work or not. When the emperor got angry, he sat on the chair with his head bent and his eyes lowered.

He understood in his heart, and was very clear that this was the emperor's way of intimidating these ministers.

Of course, I was also testing myself.

He had just been emperor for two years, and during these two years, he was always constrained and unable to do things in the court.

These old officials all looked down on the emperor, thinking that he was still young and did not have enough experience to handle some things.

Therefore, various methods are always used to stop the emperor's new strategies.

This made the man who wanted to be a good emperor feel dissatisfied. He finally found this opportunity. He and Nangong Yu had discussed and decided to take action. But Nangong Yu did not expect that he would deal with it in another way more directly.

As an emperor, it is understandable that he has his own backup plan. Everyone has a backup plan to save their lives, but the emperor has more.

But now, what they were discussing was to investigate one or two people who were corrupt officials. They already had evidence of some of these people's crimes.

But now the emperor has promoted Nangong Yu and asked Nangong Yu to directly bring up this matter.

Everyone knows that although Nangong Yu promoted Chen Yinke, he would offend at least half of the people in the court.

In this way, no matter how loyal Nangong Yu is to the emperor, he will be excluded from the court circle.

But unexpectedly, the emperor came up with a new trick. He directly threw a book of black material in his hand to Nangong Yu and asked him to verify it according to the book.

As long as it is verified to be true, the emperor will be responsible for the outcome.

Does this mean that he suddenly has a change of heart and wants to protect Nangong Yu again?

Nangong Yu didn't understand what the emperor was thinking, but looking at the heavy book in his hand, he knew that from now on, he had no way out.

Those adults who were named by the emperor were even more worried. Why did the emperor know all these things about their families?

I underestimated the little emperor.

The little emperor said that he had started investigating when he was still a prince. So had he been acting like a fool all these years?

Several adults were so frightened that they almost collapsed and could not stand up.

Nangong Yu took the booklet respectfully and promised to get to the bottom of everything in the booklet.

As several adults were carried out of the imperial study, taken home by the family's carriage, and then carried back home, the whole capital city knew about it in less than half a day.

People related to these adults were so scared that they hid at home. Some of their relatives also began to think of ways to protect themselves.

The situations of each family were different. At this time, the Changyong Marquis Mansion received an invitation.

The invitation came from the Third Princess. Xie Qingrou glanced at it calmly, then said to Gu Ruoxi:

"The Third Princess holds two banquets every year. In early spring, they appreciate plum blossoms. There is a plum garden in her palace, where many rare varieties of plums are planted. She loves to tinker with these and has grown them very well. In autumn, they appreciate chrysanthemums. Her chrysanthemums are also very outstanding, and she grows a new variety every year."

Gu Ruoxi replied while learning to trace the characters:

"This princess is really nice. She even plants flowers herself."

Xie Qingrou smiled and pointed out:

"This vertical stroke is well written, powerful and straight, but a little short. You can write it a little longer. There are two kinds of vertical strokes. One is the one you wrote, a straight vertical stroke, and the other is called a hanging needle vertical stroke. When you write it like this, lift the pen slightly at the end and finish with the tip of the pen."

After receiving some instructions, Gu Ruoxi started practicing again.

I slept until I woke up naturally in the morning. When I woke up, Nangong Yu was not there. I didn't have to pretend that my legs were not good at home. So I came to accompany Madam Hou early in the morning.

He thought he had arrived early, but when he arrived, Qingfeng told him that the Marquis's wife had just dealt with the affairs of the household.

Gu Ruoxi was ashamed. It turned out that being a mistress of the house was so tiring and required getting up very early.

Xie Qingrou smiled and said:

"You should also learn to be a housekeeper. You will have to take care of all these things in the future. You should arrange the whole day's affairs in the morning so that the housekeepers can arrange them later. There are many things to do. The housekeepers can only do their work after they have exchanged the right cards for money. When arranging any things, you need to give them some time to handle them."

Gu Ruoxi said, not quite understanding:

"Why do you have to manage it this way? You are the master, you arrange the time, and only the stewards can cooperate with you. You can sleep in any time you want in the morning, and those stewards can arrange their own things. They can arrange the next day and the rest the day before. This way, there is no rush. Unless there is something urgent, it will be put last."

Xie Qingrou opened her mouth and found that she couldn't refute this question. If every servant could handle the matter well, the master could really have a lazy sleep, especially since she herself was sleepy in summer and a little afraid of cold in winter, so she couldn't get up in the morning.

Maybe I can handle things according to Gu Ruoxi's method, making things simpler and making myself more comfortable.

Although according to the rules in Beijing, a qualified housewife must manage the household diligently, but for the Marquis' wife now, she does not need to be so diligent, she just needs to keep the household running.

She doesn't care what other people say or think, as long as she can handle things well.

After the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had dinner together, they sat here. One looked at the accounts, the other practiced calligraphy, and they chatted from time to time. It was very comfortable.

"You went to see your mother yesterday. How is your mother? Is she adapting well?"

"With Aunt Ying and Sister Qingyu accompanying her, she has grown stronger. She looks better than before, and her eyesight has recovered a lot."

"That's good. When we have time, let Qingyu and the others bring her over to play. Let her come in through the back door. There's no need to go through all the formalities. We can just chat or have a meal together."

Xie Qingrou said so, and Gu Ruoxi nodded. Both the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law thought it was okay. Nanny Yang rolled her eyes:

"My two masters, that's what I said, but it really can't be done this way. She's my in-laws' wife, so she should come in through the front door and leave through the front door, that's the right way. What's the point of you going in and out through the back door every day? Madam, we can't lose our manners."

She just didn't understand. It was obvious that the Xie family's teaching of the lady was successful. After having this daughter-in-law, the lady completely let the young mistress do whatever she wanted. The two of them no longer followed the rules in what they said or did, and they were idle every day.

Although I am happy to see my wife happy every day, it would be bad if I were impolite to others. When the door is closed, it is my home. Outside the door, I still have to consider the young master's face.
