Mrs. Liu cried for a long time alone, and seeing that no one paid attention to her for a long time, she wiped away her tears and stood up, speaking as if she was about to fall when the wind blows.

"Madam Gu, I still have something to do in my house, so I won't be with you two today. But don't worry, I will definitely question Zhang Lin when I return to the house, and I will never let this sister and the children be wronged."

Qi Qingxi looked at her and nodded with a smile: "Walk slowly."

Aunt Osmanthus looked at the back of Liu Shi leaving, and looked at Qi Qingxi blankly: "The shopkeeper, she... what does she mean?"

Qi Qingxi also looked at Liu's back: "What she means is that she knows about this matter, and she will go back and discuss it with Zhang Lin to see how to get rid of you and the children."

Aunt Osmanthus was full of surprise: "Zhang Lin lied to her like this, so she doesn't care at all?"

Qi Qingxi's voice was faint: "You know the news you have heard. She is reluctant to part with her current rich life, and at most she just quarrels with Zhang Lin. After that, Zhang Lin may be afraid that your matter will affect his career. It’s not known that the husband and wife came to your door together to apologize to you.”

Aunt Osmanthus sighed: "She is also a poor woman."

Qi Qingxi raised her eyebrows, she knew what Aunt Osmanthus meant.

Aunt Osmanthus felt that Liu, as a woman, knew that her husband had done something wrong, and besides being angry, she couldn't even think of resisting.

Because once she resists, she will lose everything she has now, and she will not be able to support her children or herself, and she will even be rejected by her parents and brothers when she returns home.

But if Mrs. Liu is pitiful, wouldn't it be even more pitiful for Aunt Osmanthus to raise two children alone for so many years?

Qi Qingxi looked sideways at Aunt Osmanthus: "So you see that she is pitiful, so you don't plan to pursue it?"

Aunt Osmanthus shook her head: "I don't pursue her, I pursue Zhang Lin, if she gets together with Zhang Lin, then she has nothing to pity."

And Mrs. Liu, just as Qi Qingxi expected, immediately sent the coachman to rush to the Fifth Military Battalion outside the city to look for Zhang Lin.

As soon as Zhang Lin walked out of the barracks and got into the carriage, Mrs. Liu scolded her head and face. The more she scolded, the more sad she became, and she even started to fight Zhang Lin.

Zhang Lin knew that he was in the wrong, so Liu did not fight back when he was beaten or scolded, until Liu let out all the anger in his heart.

Liu wiped away her tears and asked him: "It seems that Mrs. Gu already knows about you and that country woman, do you think she will make her uncle embarrass you in officialdom in order to help that country woman? Stop you from getting promoted and getting rich?"

Zhang Lin looked serious: "It's not impossible."

"Then what shall we do?" Mrs. Liu began to cry again, "You said that after all these years of being married to you, I managed to live a peaceful life for a few days, and now I'm going to start living a hard life again."

Zhang Lin recalled silently in his heart that Mrs. Liu was married after he was promoted and returned to Beijing after winning the battle. Although he was not as rich as he is now, Mrs. Liu was still served by a maidservant after marrying home. What a hard time.

But seeing Mrs. Liu crying so sadly, how could he dare to say these words? He hugged Mrs. Liu and comforted him repeatedly: "Don't worry, leave this matter to me. It's just estimated that it will cost a lot of money. Osmanthus sent her away, can Mrs. Gu force her to come out?"

Mrs. Liu looked up at him: "As long as the woman and her daughter can be sent away smoothly, we will pay any amount."

The most important thing right now is to keep her family's old Zhang's official position. As long as there is an official, money can be obtained anywhere.

If it wasn't for this woman's backing from the Gu Mansion, let's see who would take care of her wherever she goes to sue.

It's no wonder that the wives in the capital all secretly laughed at Mrs. Gu as worthy of being from the countryside, and all the people she made friends with were unworthy.

But it doesn't matter, when the woman returns to her hometown with the money, the mountains are high and the road is far away, if something happens, the money will naturally come back to her.

Thinking of this, Liu felt instantly relieved.

She decided to follow Zhang Lin to find the woman, and resolve the matter as soon as possible, so as not to have long nights and dreams and troubles day and night.

But she never expected that the woman was unwilling to reconcile with them, and even threatened to sue Zhang Lin to the Yamen.

If there was no support from the Gu family behind this, she would not believe that such a country woman would dare to be so rampant.

She just said a few words to make the village woman not regret it, trying to scare the village woman from going to the Yamen to sue, but she and Zhang Lin were directly kicked out of the Gu residence.

After returning home, she and Zhang Lin went to a friend to inquire. If Zhang Lin marries and remarries, not only Zhang Lin will be punished, but even she will be divorced.

In the days that followed, she and Zhang Lin fell into fear again, for fear that someday people from the yamen would come to their door.

After half a month like this, Liu Shi and Zhang Lin couldn't eat well and couldn't sleep well.

Suddenly one day, Mrs. Liu, who was lying on the couch, heard a commotion outside the house, and she called the maid beside her to see what was going on.

The maid knew what was going on without going out to see it.

The servant girl told her that there are troublesome scholars everywhere in the capital, yelling that the reason why the emperor was assassinated by the king of Qi is because the position of the crown prince has been hanging in the air, which makes the king of Qi have so many delusional thoughts Come out, ask the emperor to appoint the eldest son, the eldest prince, as the crown prince.

Scholars have been making noise for many days. It used to be in the inner city, but in the past few days it has spread to the outer city, walking around the streets and alleys. It's just that Mrs. Liu has been worrying about her own affairs recently. noticed.

"Then what is the current regulation? Did the emperor say how to deal with this matter?"

With such a big incident happening in the capital, no matter how much Mrs. Liu worried about her own affairs, she couldn't help asking more questions.

What's more, she is still hoping that the capital will become more and more chaotic. In this way, who will pay attention to such a mess in her family, maybe the matter that the country woman wants to sue them can also be messed up like this.

Suddenly, she felt blessed and thought of a safer way.

This time the scholars made such a big fuss, maybe the emperor really appointed the eldest prince, His Highness Wang An, as the crown prince in order to calm down the matter.

If she can climb into the faction of His Highness Wang An, no matter which courtier is in the court, who dare not give face to the future prince.

Mrs. Liu multiplied the money that she had planned to give to the rural woman several times, and went around to clear up the relationship, which really made her climb up to an aunt in Prince An's mansion.

And that aunt happened to have the same surname of Qi as the one in the Gu family, and even recently gave birth to a son for His Royal Highness King An.

It's just that for some reason this aunt seems to be particularly short of money recently, but she just happened to be given such a great opportunity.
