After becoming a widow, I became the mother of seven children

Mr. Mei, the Chief Secretary, was admiring the newly acquired calligraphy and painting at home. This was a work by a famous artist from the previous dynasty. He had been thinking about it for a long time.

I finally got it, and I have to show it off to those old guys when the time comes.

Just when Mr. Mei was stroking his beard and considering who to invite to appreciate the famous paintings, he heard a servant coming to inform Ming Zhaoshuo and Magistrate Ling of Chengyang County to see him.

Mr. Mei's hand stroking his beard shook, then he looked at the servant and asked, "Who did you say is here?"

The man replied: "Ming Zhaoshuo and Ling County Magistrate."

After hearing this, Lord Mei murmured to himself: "This man Ming Zhaoshuo is a popular person in the court recently, so he's not good to see you, and why is the boy from the Ling family here?

That boy would go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, especially if he encountered any difficulties.

If that kid is bullied within my jurisdiction, won't Old Man Ling fight with me after returning to Beijing? "

Thinking of this, Mr. Mei quickly ordered: "Go quickly! Let them come in."

Soon Yan Qingqing and Magistrate Ling walked in.

Mr. Mei watched the two of them coming together from a distance, and he had the illusion that they were both talented and handsome.

But then he gave up this idea. Who didn't know that the newly promoted Ming Zhaoshuo was a widow. It was said that she had seven children alone.

This kid Ling Ziyuan has never been married once. If he gets married and wants to be a father, Old Man Ling will be angry to death.

However, Mrs. Mei took another look at Yan Qingqing and felt that the air around her was too good. Even some ladies in the capital who had been raised since childhood did not have such air.

Mrs. Mei also felt that it was a pity that Ling Ziyuan did not find such a person as his wife.

Yan Qingqing didn't know that this old man's mind would be filled with chaos after just one meeting.

Only when Yan Qingqing and the others came forward did Mr. Mei stop looking at them.

Yan Qingqing gave a Wanfu salute to Mr. Mei.

Magistrate Ling also bent down and saluted: "I have met Mei Shibo."

Yan Qingqing rarely saw Magistrate Ling be so polite.

However, it seems that Magistrate Ling is very familiar with Chief Secretary Mei.

Yan Qingqing couldn't help scolding Magistrate Ling in her heart. Since she had such a familiar relationship, she didn't tell her earlier. What's the use of telling her so much in a high-sounding way.

Mr. Mei glanced at Magistrate Ling and snorted coldly: "Do you still have my uncle in your eyes?

It has been three years since you came to Xuancheng Prefecture as county magistrate, but you have never seen me.

It's all in vain that I always protected you when your father beat you for being naughty when you were little. "

Mr. Mei is over 60 years old this year. He and Ling Ziyuan's father, Mr. Ling, grew up together.

Although Mr. Ling is a military commander and Mr. Mei is a civil servant, the two of them talk very well.

If it weren't for the emperor's jealousy, the two would have become brothers with different surnames many years ago.

Naturally, Mrs. Mei also watched Ling Ziyuan grow up. He knows his temper best.

Ling Ziyuan saw Mr. Mei asking questions and replied with a smile: "Uncle Shi, you always think that I don't want to come to your door.

It's my old man who doesn't want me to disturb you. He said that if I want to be the county magistrate, I have to rely on my own ability.

If I dare to take advantage of your power to do evil, I will break my legs.

How dare I let others know about our relationship?

But even though I didn't come, my nephew's gift during the holidays would be as good as yours. "

Although Ling Ziyuan did not come to see Mrs. Mei in person, he would send people to give gifts to Mr. Mei during every festival.

Master Mei knew that she could not defeat him. In addition, it was difficult for Yan Qingqing to argue with him, lest he lose his identity.

Then the topic changed and he looked at Yan Qingqing and asked: "This must be Ming Zhaoshuo, he is really good-tempered.

You have contributed to our Dayan.

It also gave our Xuancheng Mansion face. "

Yan Qingqing laughed when he heard this and said, "Master Mei, that's a ridiculous compliment."

Mr. Mei:......

Why does he feel that Yan Qingqing doesn't act according to common sense?

Shouldn't ordinary people flatter someone after being praised by their superiors? Why is Yan Qingqing so casual?

Magistrate Ling who was standing aside laughed when he saw this, but was glared at by Mr. Mei and Yan Qingqing at the same time.

Magistrate Ling touched his nose awkwardly. Well, he admits that he is no longer human inside and out.

Mr. Mei puffed his beard and said to Magistrate Ling with a glare: "You are a master who doesn't go to the Three Treasures Hall for anything. Tell me, why did you come to see me today?"

Magistrate Ling immediately told the story of Han Yu being wrongly accused of theft and being thrown into prison, as well as the fact that Han Yu was tortured in prison.

Mr. Mei is a civil servant, and he values ​​talents the most. He immediately got angry and said: "In the universe, under my jurisdiction, there is such a thing of harboring filth and suppressing and frame-up!"

Yan Qingqing's mouth twitched when he heard this. This kind of thing happened at the feet of emperors in all dynasties. Where did Mr. Mei get his confidence?

Magistrate Ling said with a flattering face: "That's right, Mei Shibo, they clearly know that you cherish talents the most and cannot tolerate things that frame students and ruin people's futures, yet they dare to commit crimes against others. This is not letting you go. It’s in my eyes.”

Mr. Mei glanced at Magistrate Ling and said angrily: "Don't talk so arrogantly here. I really have control over this matter."

After saying that, he immediately sent someone to bring Han Yu out of the dungeon. If anyone dared to stop him, he would immediately capture him.

Then he sent someone to arrest Zhao Luming. He wanted to see what kind of family heirloom he had lost.

After giving these instructions, Mr. Mei looked at Magistrate Ling and said, "You can hand over the personal and material evidence now."

County Magistrate Ling smiled when he heard this and said: "What did you say, Uncle Shi? I am here to hand over the testimony to you."

After saying that, he took out a piece of testimony from his sleeve. Lord Mei took it and looked at it carefully.

Then he frowned and said, "How come the third Miss of the Shen family is involved in this?"

County Magistrate Ling sneered when he heard this, and then said: "These people rely on their good background and are born stupid. No one can stop them."

Then Magistrate Ling told Mr. Mei one by one all the stupid things he found out about Shen Hongyan's crimes.

He was jealous of others, he slapped the concubine of Magistrate Liu in public for a piece of jewelry, and he told Mr. Mei the story of how he deliberately pushed Li Xinniang into the trap in order to frame her.

Mr. Mei was very angry after hearing this. Magistrate Ling took the opportunity to say: "Uncle Shi, you can't just keep protecting them just for the sake of our original friendship."

After hearing this, Lord Mei jumped a little and said, "What are you talking about? Old man Ling told you some nonsense."

Magistrate Ling said quickly: "Nothing, nothing. I believe that you, Shibo, are like a mother, like a daughter. I believe that you, Shibo, must look down on such a woman."

After hearing this, Mr. Mei pointed angrily at Magistrate Ling and said, "Get out of here!"

In the end, even Yan Qingqing was kicked out together.

Yan Qingqing looked at Magistrate Ling and wanted to cover her face. She knew that this guy was unreliable.

If it were spread that she was kicked out by the Chief Secretary, where would she put her face?
