Wake up and become a son-in-law

Liu Sheng stood up and said, "Brother Lan, the two of us are indeed here today for some things, so we won't beat around the bush with Brother Lan. We were originally the Minister of Household Affairs... but for some reason yesterday... we were suddenly... We have been dismissed. We have to wait to find out the specific details, but we have not made any mistakes... Later, Brother Liu and I secretly inquired about it. It was because Xue Guogong ordered people to dismiss the two of us... .”

Lan Yuheng narrowed his eyes, "How can Xue Huaiyi find the ability to dismiss you?"

Liu Sheng and Liu Sheng looked at each other and both sighed. The former said helplessly, "This Duke Xue is incompetent, but the right minister is..."

"Wu Sansi?" Lan Yuheng was a little displeased. "Then what's the reason for dismissal?"

Liu Sheng and the two were a little embarrassed. "The reason is of course that we use our power for personal gain, but we didn't accept bribes from others. Some of the drinks were sent from our hometown. We were dismissed just because of such a little thing... This... Come to think of it." Ashamed..."

Lan Yuheng finally understood. Xue Huaiyi had made it clear that this was intentional. Now that Xie Yu had withdrawn, Liu Sheng and the two had naturally lost their protective umbrella. Xue Huaiyi had made it clear that he was targeting Liu Sheng and the two of them. It's impossible not to know, I'm just embarrassed to say it clearly

"The two gentlemen are here." At this time, Li Shiqi came to the lobby from the backyard with a smile. Liu Sheng and Liu Sheng hurriedly stood up and saluted, "See the Duke's wife."

Li Shiqi smiled and said, "You two don't have to be like this. You and Yu Heng are old friends, so all these etiquettes are waived." Both of them smiled unnaturally.

"I just heard about this, but I want to ask you two, have you ever used your power for personal gain? Don't get me wrong, you will help with or without Yu Heng, but you have to know the ins and outs of the matter. In fact, using your power for personal gain There is nothing wrong with making some profits for the family." Li Shiqiruo said with a meaningful smile.

The two nodded awkwardly, "This matter... I feel ashamed to say it. We did say hello to the family, but it was just some business dealings, and these were reasonable channels and did not touch... others"

Li Shiqi nodded, "Well, it would be great if you two could tell each other so frankly. Yuheng will try his best to solve the matter for you two."

Liu Kaiyuan cupped his hands and said, "Thank you so much, Mrs. Guogong. Xue Huaiyi has invited us to cocktail parties and banquets before, but we have always refused."

Li Shiqi smiled and said, "You two don't have to be like this. In the officialdom, you need to join a group to keep warm. Otherwise, you will be easily squeezed out, so you don't have to worry about my husband-in-law. Just take care of it yourself."

The two of them couldn't help but be stunned when they heard Li Shiqi's words. Obviously they didn't know how true Li Shiqi's words were, or whether they were sarcastic, so they could only nod and apologize.

"Are you two going to stay and have dinner together today? After all, you and Yuheng may not have had a drink for a long time." Li Shiqi glanced at Lan Yuheng and asked with a smile.

"No, no... we won't bother you. We'll come back to visit you when you have time later." Liu Kaiyuan refused hastily. Li Shiqi's intention to see off the guests was self-evident. How could they not hear it?

"Okay then... Don't worry, you two, my husband will do my best in this matter. Xiao'e will see you off." Li Shiqi asked Xiao'e to send them off politely.

"Madam, what's going on? It seems that you have a problem with the two of them?" Lan Yuheng asked doubtfully. Li Shiqi sat down next to Lan Yuheng, "I can't say I have an opinion, but there must be a problem between the two of them."

"You still blame me for this matter. It's clear that Xue Huaiyi is targeting me deliberately," Lan Yuheng said with some displeasure.

Li Shiqi shook her head and said, "Xue Huaiyi must have done this, but there must be something fishy in it. Wu Sansi is afraid of Xue Huaiyi but not Xianggong?"

Lan Yuheng was a little confused, "What do you mean by this?"

Li Shiqi rolled her eyes at Lan Yuheng, "What else can you mean? Although Xue Huaiyi is very prosperous now, what's wrong with you, sir? Although you don't usually interact with those ministers, Wu Sansi will never touch you no matter how stupid he is. Are they from you? These Liu Sheng and Liu Kaiyuan were recommended by you personally. Even a fool can tell that."

"You mean Wu Sansi and Xue Huaiyi are together?" Lan Yuheng said seriously, touching his chin.

Li Shiqi subconsciously raised her forehead, "No... This Wu Sansi has always been a person who can balance two bowls of water. Why did he suddenly favor Xue Huaiyi? There are only two reasons for this, either you are no longer the Duke of the country, and the second It’s just that Liu Sheng and the two men did have something that fell into Xue Huaiyi’s hands, so Wu Sansi had to deal with it like this.”

Lan Yuheng suddenly realized, "What do you mean by the lady, Liu Sheng and the two are indeed being taken advantage of? But there should be nothing wrong with these two, right?"

Li Shiqi shook her head and said, "I don't know if there is a problem, but they must be seeking personal gain for the family. It's okay to be an official for the family's gain. It's a pity that they were recommended by their husband. This doesn't matter from a young age. After all, it's for the family." It's okay to make profits, but it's different when you look at it from a broader perspective. How long have they been in officialdom? They started to seek personal gain for their family, and will they do it again in the future? If they take bribes and bend the law, who will they smear? "

Lan Yuheng thought about it and felt that what Li Shiqi said was quite right. Li Shiqi continued, "If it's someone else, I don't want to take care of it. It shouldn't be Yuheng who recommended it, so this matter... Yuheng will take care of it."

Lan Yuheng thought for a moment, "Forget it... let's help with this matter. After all, it's not easy for them. Then I'll beat it up secretly. After all, you can't just beat someone to death for a trivial matter, right?"

Li Shiqi smiled and nodded and said, "Well, Yuheng, you can just control this matter yourself." Li Shiqi didn't want to interfere in her husband's affairs. Anyway, Lan Yuheng could do it by himself.

"Uncle, Wu Sansi is asking to see you outside." Xiao'e had just sent Liu Sheng away when she saw Wu Sansi coming. It was a coincidence.

Li Shiqi raised her delicate chin, "Look, I'm probably here to apologize to Yu Heng."

Lan Yuheng held Li Shiqi's hand, "My wife still sees clearly. Let him come in."

After a while, Wu Sansi came to the lobby with several boxes. Xiao'e hurriedly took the things from Wu Sansi's hand. "Sansi has bothered my uncle today. I hope my uncle will forgive me. These supplements are given to my two aunts. It's a good idea." Some little things to think twice about”

As soon as Wu Sansi came in, he started to apologize. Lan Yuheng smiled and said, "The Prime Minister is really interested. I wonder what the Prime Minister is here for today?"

Wu Sansi was a little restrained, "Actually, it's nothing... I just received the reaction from the censor yesterday, saying..."

"The right minister doesn't think that I am guilty of taking bribes and perverting the law, right?" Lan Yuheng asked with a half-smile.

"No, no," Wu Sansi waved his hand hurriedly, "My uncle is joking, but...although he is not his uncle, he found out the problem of Liu Sheng, the Minister of Household Affairs, and Liu Kaiyuan. Although these two people did not accept bribes privately, they used themselves. Their authority provides convenience to the Huzhou family. This is naturally not allowed. I dismissed the two of them this morning. Later, during the process of investigating the matter... I found... um... haha."

Wu Sansi laughed a little embarrassedly. Lan Yuheng probably guessed what Wu Sansi said. Li Shiqi showed a faint smile, "Just say what you want to say. You are also Yu'er's nephew. You don't have to think." Guilt"

"Yes..." Wu Sansi looked a little better after listening to Li Shiqi's words. "After my inquiries later, I found out that these two people have some friendship with my uncle... so this matter... haha" He felt a little bad now He spoke directly, fearing that Lan Yuheng would be unhappy...

Lan Yuheng smiled and said, "Of course I understand what the right minister said, but... is there any misunderstanding in this? After all, there is nothing wrong with providing convenience. Isn't this inherent in officialdom? Just Even the Queen Mother turns a blind eye. If nothing else, just take me as an example. Speaking of which, I have done a lot for the Li family, right? So does this count as using power for personal gain? "

Wu Sansi looked embarrassed, "Of course... no, of course not... My uncle, what you said is too outrageous. Who doesn't know that the Duke of Guo has always been upright and disdains this kind of thing the most, but... .These two people did violate the rules.”

Li Shiqi said at this time, "What the Prime Minister said is right, and I quite agree with the approach of the Prime Minister. After all, what the court needs is justice. This... the so-called emperor breaks the law and the common people are equally guilty, my husband does not think it is inappropriate."

Lan Yuheng curled her lips, feeling particularly disgusted with this sentence. The emperor broke the law and the common people were equally guilty? It was simply the biggest bullshit, but he had to give his wife face. Wu Sansi didn't expect that Li Shiqi would still speak for him, so he was very grateful!

But then Li Shiqi changed her words, "But... nothing is absolutely wrong? As the saying goes, there is no business without treachery... When the water is clear, there will be no fish. It is easiest to understand this sentence in the officialdom. Of course, I believe it." The right prime minister must be an upright and honest person, but if you just investigate and deal with the right prime minister, you will find that there are countless people who are petty and greedy. Even my husband-in-law has to give money to the father-in-law in the palace from time to time... Right Do you think this is corruption or bribery?"

Wu Sansi straightened his back unconsciously at first, but the following words made him sweat on his forehead: "This...uh...hehe, of course this doesn't count."

Li Shiqi's first words were praising him, but what she said later was different. Anyway, she felt like he was sitting on pins and needles.

Lan Yuheng pretended to pick up the cup and drink water, but he couldn't help but laugh. Even Xiao'e beside him was amused.

"Ahem..." Li Shiqi covered her mouth and coughed a few times. Xiao'e hurriedly lowered her head and didn't dare to laugh anymore, "Ha...Do you think what I said makes sense?"

Wu Sansi looked troubled, "This... the Duke's wife is right, she hits the nail on the head..."

Li Shiqi nodded and said, "Since the Prime Minister knows it well, I won't say anything else. I believe that the Prime Minister is doing this because he wants to save the face of my husband. I would like to thank you here."
