Traveling through books to ancient times, I provoke the love of villains and powerful ministers

Outside the Gu mansion.

A tall figure hides beside the stone lion in front of Gu's mansion, and from time to time stretches his head to look into the gate of Gu's mansion.

This person is Zhang Lin.

Ever since he saw Aunt Osmanthus in Gu's mansion yesterday, he began to fidget. Until last night, when he learned from his wife about the troubles her girl caused in Gu's mansion during the day, he didn't even dare to sleep all night.

On such a cold day, his family Taotao actually asked the daughter of Osmanthus Huasheng to jump into the water to pick up the handkerchief for her.

This was not a big deal at first, but the bad thing is that Osmanthus fragrans now has a backer, and this backer is still his Shangguan's direct niece and daughter, and her husband is also the servant of the household department.

Unless he didn't want to hang around in the officialdom anymore, he couldn't afford to offend either of these two.

Thinking of this, he couldn't sleep even more, so he simply got up and went to the study, thinking about a solution all night, thinking about how to solve the problem of sweet-scented osmanthus.

In the end, he decided to find out the sweet-scented osmanthus and talk about it again.

She came all the way to the capital as a woman with a child, if she didn't come to find him, what else could she do, she must have come to him to get some money.

As long as Osmanthus fragrans doesn't reveal the relationship between the two of them in the past, and it doesn't ruin his official career, he is still willing to give 80 taels of [-] taels.

However, Osmanthus had to promise to leave the capital, and she was never allowed to appear in the capital again.

The more Zhang Lin thought about it, the more he felt that this method was feasible. He immediately picked up a pen and wrote a letter, wanting to ask Osmanthus to come out to talk about things, and then he would buy a young man to help him send it to Osmanthus quietly, so Madam Gu would not find out .

Zhang Lin waited for a long time in front of Gu's mansion before finally waiting for the young man to appear. He smiled and looked behind the young man, but there was no osmanthus.

The servant got Qi Qingxi's order to come out and tell Zhang Lin that Aunt Osmanthus meant that she didn't have time to see him right now, and she would write to Zhang Lin's mansion to ask him to speak out.

Seeing that Aunt Osmanthus Flower didn't want to see him, Zhang Lin panicked. At this moment, he was like an ant on a hot pot, running around anxiously, but he couldn't directly rush into Gu's mansion to find someone.

After thinking about it, he could only go home first.

For the next few days, Zhang Lin lived in panic, couldn't sleep well, and couldn't eat or drink.

Mrs. Liu saw that something was wrong with him, and asked him if there was something wrong with his errand.

"It's not me, it's a colleague of mine."

Zhang Lin didn't dare to tell the truth, so he made up a lie: "It's true what you say about him... My colleague was in his hometown in the country, and his mother forced him to marry a country wife."

He observed Mrs. Liu's expression and said cautiously: "Later, after he joined the army and was promoted to the capital, he just...married another one he liked, and as a result, his wife from the countryside came to the capital to look for him these days, causing a lot of trouble. There is still a yamen in his family, and the dog and dog are restless."

When Liu heard Zhang Lin's words, her first reaction was that the person Zhang Lin said was himself, but after thinking about it for herself, she had to go through all the big and small things of the Zhang family, but she didn't. I heard that some woman came to the house recently to seek relatives and make trouble.

Mrs. Liu let out a long sigh of relief.

But after thinking about it, even if her old Zhang has a daughter-in-law in his hometown in the country, the country people spend some money to get rid of it, and it doesn't hinder her prosperity and wealth.

She finally came out of a small family and married an official, a mixed official wife, and learned the official and family rules so hard for so many years. She was asked to give up the current life of a small family and return to the old life of a small family. , that might as well kill her.

"That colleague of yours, just spend some money to drive the previous one back to his hometown. How capable is a country woman, and she is really stupid to give her a chance to go to the yamen to make his colleagues laugh at him. "

There was a bit of disdain in Liu's tone of voice, but within a few days, she saw the skills of country women.

That day when she was out shopping, she ran into Mrs. Gu's mansion and asked her to have tea. How could she miss such a good opportunity to get to know Mrs. Gu.

Unexpectedly, the woman who had a dispute with her family Taotao in Gu's mansion that day was also there. Mrs. Gu even told her that this woman was actually the daughter-in-law of their family's Lao Zhang in the country, and that day her family Taotao ordered her The girl who picked up the handkerchief in the water was the daughter of Mrs. Zhang Lintong.

Liu was shocked. She suddenly thought of what Zhang Lin said about his colleague. It seemed that she was really mistaken. This colleague was none other than Zhang Lin himself.

With the previous speculation, Liu quickly regained her composure. She still had the idea in her heart that she should give up her current luxury and return to her former life of a small family, unless it killed her.

But her attitude of taking care of his wife was obviously to seek justice for this woman.

No, she has to find a way to get over it first.

Liu thought she would use her best technique, no matter in front of her parents before or after she married Zhang Lin, whenever she encountered something, as long as she shed a few tears, everything would be solved.

Liu thought this method was very good, and the next second, tears fell from her eyes, and she looked like she was about to faint, crying about Zhang Lin's deception to her.

Then, no matter what Aunt Osmanthus told her, she just cried and didn't reply.

Aunt Osmanthus looked at Qi Qingxi helplessly, but Qi Qingxi looked at Liu Shi indifferently.

As far as she knew, Zhang Lin and Liu's family had been harmonious for so many years of marriage, and they could be regarded as a loving couple.

But for such a loving couple, when they know that their husband has other women and children outside, their first reaction is not to believe in their husband's innocence, not to question the truth of the matter, but to cry directly about their husband's infidelity.

Judging from the various things she sent people to inquire about Liu Shi, Liu Shi is not as weak as she appears on the surface, so it is impossible to directly suspect the person she has slept with for many years just based on their few words.

Unless Mrs. Liu already knew that Zhang Lin had a wife and children, the shock in Mrs. Liu's eyes when she heard her talking about it was not fake.

But Liu Shi quickly turned from shock to calmness, and the next second he looked distraught. If she hadn't been staring at Liu Shi from the beginning of speaking, she would have almost missed this good show.

It has to be said that even though she has seen so many actors in that world, this Liu's acting skills are not far behind theirs.

Aunt Osmanthus had told her so much, she covered her face and wept, and she didn't even ask any more questions. Seeing how Mrs. Liu looked, she didn't intend to have a serious talk with them.

Even so, there is nothing to say.

Qi Qingxi smiled lightly, and made a silent gesture to Aunt Osmanthus who was asking her for help. She wanted to see how long Liu could act.
