Reborn to be a mistress, she went crazy killing the legitimate daughter

After untying the knot in his heart, Bo Jinnian felt much more relaxed. However, it just happened to be His Majesty's birthday, and His Majesty wanted to go to Mount Tai to offer sacrifices to heaven and earth, so the Ministry of Rites was so busy that they had to stay in the yamen.

Although Shen Yiran heard that most officials in the court were opposed to the Fengshan Ceremony at Mount Tai, the emperor refused to give in and there was a lot of noise in the court all day long, so the Ministry of Rites had to make preparations in advance.

He had already made up his mind and packed up all the things and sent them to the government office.

In order to facilitate movement, all the low walls that were previously separated from the family were quietly demolished, leaving only three glass screens as barriers.

Xu and Rong Qingqing are now in charge of the Marquis's property respectively, so the old lady still handed over the farm to Shen Yiran.

When Shen Yiran came back from inspecting the farm in a horse-drawn carriage, he received a letter from the border.

It was sent by Dong Xizhou.

After he followed Bo Jinnian to provide disaster relief, he decided to stay there and join the local garrison in guarding the border.

Shen Yiran immediately opened the envelope and found out that Dong Xizhou had been promoted to a higher military position and had married and had children in the Western Regions. He was very happy for him.

After reading the letter announcing the good news, I turned to the second page and saw a completely incomprehensible letter written in cipher text at the back.

Shen Yiran looked at the completely incomprehensible text and began to think deeply.

This can only be deciphered with a code book, and this code book must be something that Dong Xizhou also has in the Western Regions. Did he bring it over?

Shen Yiran specially took a carriage to the government office to visit Bo Jinnian.

Bo Jinnian hadn't trimmed his beard for a few days, and the short beard that he usually maintained well was about to cover his lips.

"You should pay attention to your appearance even when you are busy. You are an official of the Ministry of Rites."

Bo Jinnian heard this and smiled, covering his beard and said, "It must be very ugly, right?"

Shen Yiran laughed and handed Dong Xizhou's letter to Bo Jinnian.

Seeing what was ahead, Bo Jinnian was also very happy. He loosened his hand that was covering his beard and said, "That's good. They are both living the life they love now."

Then he turned to the next page and looked at Shen Yiran in confusion: "Is this in the wrong place?"

Shen Yiran shook his head: "It was sent with the letter. I can't decipher it, so I came to ask you."

Bo Jinnian looked at it, thought for a moment and said, "I remember I left him a copy of Spring and Autumn Annals before I left. Go back and try it, and remember to tell me the result."

Shen Yiran agreed and got on the carriage, and saw Song Qizhao on the way back.

Song Qizhao held the hand of his little wife, and the two of them walked happily. The servants following behind them were holding many brocade boxes in their hands.

It goes without saying that the Zhu family is wealthy. I guess Song Qizhao has escaped into a life of luxury and comfort, so his fighting spirit must have been lost, right?

Shen Yiran deliberately got off the carriage and followed behind, wanting to hear what the two would talk about.

I only heard Miss Zhu say: "My father is doing this for your own good. You don't want to be just a garrison forever, do you?"

Song Qizhao said, "Of course, I want to confer an imperial decree on you! But it's not something that can be done overnight! Your father, on the other hand, drags me to see this person or that person every day!"

"All right!"

"Oh no! I didn't treat him well enough, and he started to lecture me before we even left the house!"

"Once you start talking about this, it's never over. Who is the official, me or him?"

Miss Zhu was very gentle, pulling Song Qizhao to explain to both sides: "This is also because father has high hopes for you! You also know that we, a merchant family, cannot pass the imperial examinations. Now, don't you value you and supervise you as if you were his own son?"

When Song Qizhao heard this, both of his sons stood up and said, "My biological son? Are you serious?"

Miss Zhu leaned on Song Qizhao's shoulder and smiled, "That's right! I heard from my father himself that all the family property will be handed over to you in the future. My father still likes you very much!"

When Song Qizhao heard this, his expression changed. If he held a low-ranking position, his superiors would covet any property he had. It would be better for him to move up to a higher position!

"Okay! My father is so good to me, how can I let him down? Let's stop shopping and go back!"

Miss Zhu heard this and agreed obediently: "Okay, I'll listen to you, my dear!"

Shen Yiran watched them get on the carriage, turned his back and started walking back.

I originally thought that Song Qizhao would not strive for success after obtaining so much wealth, but unexpectedly, he was actually inspired to fight.

After returning home, Shen Yiran found Chunqiu, opened the first page and started to solve it, but found something wrong.

After thinking about it, he turned to the corresponding page of the book according to the date of marriage written in Dong Xizhou's letter. After a while, he finally worked out a coherent sentence.

"The Xiongnu on the border are trying to assassinate your majesty. If anyone is trying to encourage your majesty to leave the palace, please stop them!"

When Shen Yiran saw it, he immediately held the letter tightly and checked it again before confirming the message.

That's right. Your Majesty is fine. Who encouraged you to go to Mount Tai to offer sacrifices to heaven and earth?

Although Your Majesty has ambitions, he has not accomplished much while in office. The Fengshan ceremony at Mount Tai is a bit far-fetched.

Now that he had received the information, Shen Yiran immediately took up a pen and wrote a reply letter as instructed.

After sending someone out, he told the content to Bo Jinnian again while delivering the meal.

"I can't leave. This matter can only be left to my eldest brother to investigate. You should go back quickly."

Shen Yiran nodded after hearing this, returned to the mansion, and went straight to Jianjia Pavilion.

Xu was coaxing Bo Yuhong to sleep. When she heard Shen Yiran coming, she immediately asked the nurse to come out and greet him: "What's the matter? This evening."

Shen Yiran immediately asked: "Where's my eldest brother?"

"I went to my brother's house to have a drink. You know him. Those people in the government are on good terms with him. He is not likely to refuse good things from others."

After hearing this, Shen Yiran sat still.

Xu didn't mind at first, but when she saw Shen Yiran had no intention of leaving, she couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong? Did something happen?"

Shen Yiran thought for a moment and said, "Something happened."

As he spoke, he handed the decoded information to Xu, who took a look at it and grasped it tightly in her hand, and told Qiu Wen, "Go and guard the door."

After waiting for Qiu Wen to leave, Xu spread out her hands and asked, "Is it reliable?"

Shen Yiran nodded: "Reliable."

Xu immediately came closer and said, "How can Bo Jinxiu help?"

Shen Yiran also said softly: "After all, the Dali Temple has the authority to view some information that others cannot view. I will go to Prince Xing tomorrow and tell him about this matter."

Hearing that so many people were involved, Xu believed it and ordered, "Go and call the master back and tell him that Hong'er is not well."

The servant went there immediately after hearing this. After waiting for half an hour, Bo Jinxiu came back with Bo Zui. As soon as he entered the door, he said, "We've just started drinking, and you're already calling for me. People will think I'm henpecked. That's not a good reputation!"

Xu was so angry that she pulled Bo Jinxiu over and made him sit down, and ordered in a stern voice: "Sobering soup!"

The sobering soup that had been prepared long ago was brought up. Xu urged Bo Jinxiu to drink it quickly, but Bo Jinxiu was busy greeting Shen Yiran.

"Did your sister-in-law come to see Hong'er today? Is his condition that serious?"
