Traveling through ancient times: starting with live streaming

The next day, Zhou Chang got up early, but still couldn't catch up with Pei Li who had gone out earlier to attend court.

Yesterday, as soon as Pei Li left, Hu Lai got up from the ground, looking like he wanted to call someone to task but didn't dare to do so: "Sister, what were you doing just now? Have you forgotten your family now that you have a husband's family?"

Zhou Chang had initially achieved his goal of smoothing over the Minister of Justice. He took another sip of the already cold teacup and then said slowly, "If I hadn't done that just now, would you have gotten away with it?"

Hu Lai thought about it and felt that it made sense, but he asked again: "Sister, what about my matter?"

"You go back first, I will take care of it myself." Zhou Chang sent Hu Lai away, wanting to finish the important things first.

"What's the fuss?" Hu Lai still refused to leave. "Sister, it's not that I want to be a small official, it's all for our father. Now my brother-in-law has kicked me out of the Ministry of Justice, so I don't have to be a supervisor. If I can find a county magistrate in the local area, it would be better than being stuck in a big cell in the prison all day."

"Well, that's a good idea." Zhou Chang already had a preliminary plan in mind. She had not let go of the bear man before, and now that she had the chance, she had no reason to let this perverted man go.

Hu Lai didn't understand what was going on. He seemed to see new hope and turned his worry into joy: "Well, I'd like to thank you in advance, sister. You better hurry up, otherwise, if dad finds out, he will nag me to death."

"Okay, no problem, I'll go back tomorrow." Zhou Chang agreed.

Hu Lai was now completely relieved. He said goodbye happily and walked out.

After Zhou Chang sent Hu Lai away, he first asked the kitchen to prepare a table of food and wine that Pei Li liked, and then he went back to his bedroom to dress up again.

As it was getting dark and the wine and food were ready, he went to Pei Li's study and personally invited him to have dinner with him.

Normally, Hu Wan was timid, inferior, cowardly and distant in front of Pei Li. Therefore, even though Hu Wan was young and docile, Pei Li only treated her as half a daughter and could not really love her.

In addition, no matter how good Hu Wan is, she is still dragged down by her natal family, which further compromises her image in front of Pei Li. Madam Chu's rumor that the Minister of Justice and his wife are not getting along well is not entirely false.

Today, "Hu Wan" had changed 180 degrees. Pei Li was very surprised and his mood improved. The two of them sat at the table drinking and eating, and talked more than in the past month.

Zhou Chang first used Hu Wan's memory to chat about family matters, refusing to mention what had just happened. However, he slowly brought up the Yuan family case. Just as he was about to get to the point, a maid suddenly came to report, "Master, the eldest young master's courtyard reported that Young Master Sun had a rash all over his body, and it looked like he had a fever, and he had also infected Young Madam. Young Master Sun was playing with you a few days ago, and asked if there was anything wrong with you?"

"Really? Can you please send for a doctor?" Pei Li immediately became nervous.

The maid replied from outside the curtain: "We have already called a doctor, but Young Master Sun is crying and making a fuss."

"I'll be right there." Pei Li said as he stood up.

Pei Li was about to leave when they were halfway through the meal and halfway through the conversation. Zhou Chang wanted to come, but from Hu Wan's memory he knew that it was impossible.

The eldest young master is the legitimate son of Pei Liyuan's wife. He is the same age as Hu Wan, has already married and started a family, and is serving as the Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of Works in the court.

In Pei Li's heart, the eldest son's status was far higher than Hu Wan's successor, and the same was true for the eldest grandson. He was also old, and all the family business would be handed over to this son in the future. Therefore, when his grandson fell ill, he wanted to fly over immediately.

Zhou Chang could only stand up and send it out: "My lord, you have only eaten half of it. I guess you can't eat it well. I will make a midnight snack for you later."

Zhou Chang couldn't wait any longer after being delayed again and again, and wished he could seize every opportunity.

"Okay, thank you, ma'am." Pei Li agreed casually, put on his clothes and went.

This time, Zhou Chang waited and waited but the person never came back.

After sending people to inquire twice, Pei Li did not even return to his study or the main room, but stayed by his grandson's bedside until midnight.

It was late at night, and Zhou Chang knew it was useless to wait any longer. He couldn't bring up another case in the middle of the night, as that would be unacceptable.

But this would definitely make Yuan Qi suffer. She must be constantly looking forward to a more accurate and detailed explanation from this side so that she would know what to do next, whether to give up or to hold on. There is nothing more torturous than waiting.

After three disappointments in a row, I became numb. I might as well go back to my parents' home during the day and settle the mess. It would not be too late to find another opportunity in the evening.

Zhou Chang ate breakfast absentmindedly, took Hu Wan's savings of three thousand taels of silver, and then left with his maidservants.

Before returning to Hu Wan's parents' home, she first made a detour to Yaoyuefang. According to the memory of You Wan, the former second manager of Yaoyuefang, she spent three thousand taels to buy a small bottle of "Jinglong".

Yaoyuefang had originally been closed to visitors and not doing business, and had also been low-key with its medicinal oil business. However, Zhou Chang had memories of You in the Oil, and she forced a remote connection with the Liu residence outside the palace, so the other party reluctantly bought a small bottle from her.

Even a small bottle the size of your thumb is enough.

Afterwards, Zhou Chang rushed to Hu's house.

As soon as she entered, she started to complain to her mother, Mrs. Hu, and cried about how her brother Hu Jizu had acted recklessly and implicated her, causing her to be implicated by her brother, and how her husband Pei Li was not friendly to her.

Mrs. Hu had no choice but to persuade her kindly.

In the afternoon, when Secretary Hu came back from the Imperial Household, Zhou Chang did the same thing again. He first recounted what Hu Lai had done with some exaggeration, including the incident yesterday, last year, and the year before last. He took out everything he could find from Hu Wan's memory and spread it on the table.

At last, she cried and said, "It's OK that the master will dislike me sooner or later, but the most important thing is that he hates our Hu family. What should I do?"

"Why?" asked Siwu Hu in surprise.

"My younger brother has been doing all kinds of evil things outside, all under the name of the brother-in-law of the Minister of Justice. Father must know what your Excellency values ​​most in this life. If my younger brother ruins your Excellency's official reputation, that's more serious than taking his life." What Zhou Chang said was not entirely exaggerated.

"What should I do?" Hu opened his mouth wide, looking shocked, as if he had just figured this out today. He turned around and looked to his daughter, "My daughter, please say a few good words to Lord Pei. As for your brother, I will definitely discipline him strictly in the future."

"What's the point of disciplining me in the future? The adults already have a grudge against me, so what I say won't work." Zhou Chang sobbed, feeling aggrieved.

Madam Hu also chimed in: "We can't just ignore your brother. You only have this one brother. At most, we can let Lord Pei handle this matter. We won't be the supervisors."

"Not doing it? Can we erase the past by not doing it?" Zhou Chang saw that the two people's attitudes were disheartened, "And the woman who was murdered, can we just pay the money and get rid of it?"

After all, Hu Siwu had been in the officialdom for decades, so he immediately understood: "Of course, daughter, go back and tell Lord Pei that the three thousand taels of silver will be compensated by our Hu family, and we are willing to pay another three thousand taels of silver to calm him down. I hope Lord Pei can forgive me, after all, Jizu is his legitimate brother-in-law, right?"

"Three thousand taels?" Zhou Chang curled his lips, "Does Lord Pei care about the person with three thousand taels?" "I have accomplished nothing and have nothing to do, just like when I first came to this world. When I leave this world, I should try my best to restore it."
