"Sorry...I can't...stay...Master Su!"

Huiyun smiled faintly and looked at him:

"Su Jijiu, don't be blind and make the wrong choice again."

Su Jijiu only felt that the smile on this rebellious woman's face was simply dazzling.

You are not afraid of being struck by lightning for humiliating your own father like this!

But the Minister of Personnel was still watching here, so he could only give up for the time being.

Seeing that he was still docile, Jiang Yuan said calmly:

"Since Lord Su has forgiven you, why don't you return to the Imperial College and take up your duties!"

"Yes! I'll take my leave!"

Even though he was full of questions, frustration and anger, Su Jijiu could only lead his people to leave respectfully immediately.

Huiyun did not continue to dwell on this matter.

After all, she was called by the Su family today because of something unexpected. How to deal with her good father's family depends on the temple master's opinion.

She would not take it upon herself to escalate the situation.

Besides, today was quite interesting.

She thought her biological father was always seeking fame and reputation and had a very tough character, but she didn't expect that he was just a coward in front of Shangguan.

After watching Su Jijiu getting on the carriage coldly, Huiyun softened her expression and said to Minister Jiang:

"Thank you, Master Jiang, for today!"

Jiang Yuan also smiled warmly and said:

"As officials in the same dynasty, we should help each other! Go back and tell the Grand Imperial Master that if there is anything that Jiang can do for you in the future, just let him know!"

Huiyun nodded in a friendly manner:

"I will convey your good intentions to the Imperial Master."

The Jiang family is worthy of being chosen by the temple master, they are very tactful.

Jiang Yuan watched Huiyun and the others get on the carriage, then he walked into the yamen in a good mood, stroking his beard.

It was quite good that Su Jijiu came here today, and Su Changshi accepted his favor.

In the future, there will be countless dignitaries who will want to seek the services of an imperial teacher.

Their Jiang family was the first to find the Imperial Master, and now they have teamed up with Su Changshi, the person the Imperial Master respects the most. They are finally ahead of everyone!

When Zhao Yong from the Duke of Yingguo's mansion hurried over with people and silver bills, the farce in front of the Ministry of Personnel had already ended, and the peace and order of the past had returned.

As soon as Zhao Yong got off his horse, he ran eagerly towards the guard at the gate of the government office, stuffed a two-liang ingot of silver into his hand, and whispered:

"Brother, I want to ask you something. Today, a commoner brought three women into the government office. Do you know who they are? Where are they going now?"

I thought it would take some twists and turns to find the person, but I didn't expect the guard to say directly:

"Oh, you mean Qin Changshi and Su Changshi. You came at an inopportune time. They just left a moment ago."

"Where did he go... He should have returned to the Imperial Master's Mansion."

Zhao Yong was a little confused.

Su...Chief Secretary? Imperial Master's Mansion?

Even if he dared to think about it, he would not dare to associate an official like the Chief Secretary with the girl from the Su family.

So, he couldn't help but ask again:

"Uh, you mean, that man is the chief of the Imperial Master's Mansion? And the very beautiful girl he brought with him, are they also from the Imperial Master's Mansion?"

The guard looked at him puzzledly:

"Didn't I tell you? The two people you are looking for are Su Changshi and Qin Changshi from the Imperial Master's Mansion."

Zhao Yong said in disbelief:

"That girl is Su Changshi? The Changshi of the Imperial Master's Mansion?"

Seeing that he gave a lot of money, the guard said again with certainty:

"That's right. The Shangshu accompanied me throughout the whole process and personally handled the official documents. Do you think there could be any mistakes?"

Zhao Yong returned to the Duke of Yingguo's mansion in a daze to report.

So, Miss Su is now the chief secretary of the Imperial Master’s Mansion!

Then let Your Majesty lead all the civil and military officials to perform the highest-level sacrificial ceremony to invite the Grand Imperial Master, the Chief Secretary of the Palace, three times!

The British Mansion at this time.

The Duke of England and his wife, the Duke of England's Crown Prince, and the Crown Prince's wife, Lady Lin, were all sitting in the main hall, waiting anxiously.

Lin was in charge of the household affairs of the Duke's Mansion. She had important people and power under her, so she was naturally well-informed. Therefore, she heard the news and rushed over soon.

After greeting her parents-in-law, she saw her absent-minded husband and her heart sank to the bottom.

She has known him for more than ten years and they have been husband and wife for five.

When he was young, he was full of vigor and vigor. Later, he became much quieter, but still like the bright moon in the sky.

He has always been a man of measured action and elegance, but he has never been as anxious and distracted as he is now.

Lin couldn't help but tighten the handkerchief in her hand.

So, is it time for her to wake up from this dream?

The Prince of England was of noble birth, promising at a young age, and as handsome as Pan An. He was the dream man of countless young ladies.

Such a good man, who has been married for five years, has no concubines and never indulges in promiscuous women. He is also ambitious and has become a trusted official of Your Majesty at a young age.

Her parents-in-law also valued her and gave her the household management duties early on.

After five years of marriage, she gave birth to two sons and a daughter.

Everyone in the capital envied her good fortune.

But only she herself knew that her husband's heart had never been with her.

She had two sons and one daughter, all of which she begged for at the cost of her dignity.

The reason why he agreed was that he couldn't bear to offend her as his wife.

She often tells herself that she should be content.

After all, she had heard about how good he was to his fiancée.

If it weren't for fate, he and the talented woman from the Su family would have been a perfect couple that everyone envied.

Even if Miss Su died, he would rather not have the family's incense and offerings, and just wanted to be buried with her.

When she got married, she told herself that she didn't care.

As long as a woman has a respectful husband and kind parents-in-law, it is a great blessing for her.

But now, why did she feel a tightness in her chest and couldn't breathe?

Why did she even have such vicious thoughts that Miss Su was really dead and would never come back.

This shouldn't happen, this is jealousy!

It is normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines. It is simply unacceptable for a prince of his status to have only a few women in his room.

As a qualified wife, she should have been generous and taken the initiative to allow her husband to take a concubine.

What's more, Miss Su is the woman that her husband loves so much.

Holding back the pain in her heart, she spoke in a hoarse voice:

"Dad, Mom, my daughter-in-law has heard about Miss Su's matter."

"I'm afraid Miss Su has nowhere to go now. From your daughter-in-law's point of view, why don't you take her in as a concubine? This will also preserve the friendship between you and Miss Su when they were young."

The British couple were both somewhat moved.

After all, they all saw their son's obsession with the girl from the Su family.

If they could take the girl from the Su family into the house and make their son happier, they would naturally be happy to see it happen.

I heard that the girl from the Su family has become a slave outside, and I'm afraid she has already lost her innocent name.

It would be embarrassing to tell others about this identity when she was brought into the mansion.

The Duke of England held Lin's hand lovingly:

"My dear child, you are a generous person, but it would be a great injustice for you to be taken as a concubine. I think you should just be a good concubine."

Lin curled the corners of her mouth reluctantly.

At this moment, her husband's eyes finally fell on her.

He gave her a gentle smile, without any joy or emotion, just like the cold white moonlight in the sky quietly falling on the grass and trees on earth.

"Madam, thank you for your kindness. But it's not necessary. I have already made an agreement with my parents that if I find Jingyao, I will recognize her as my adopted sister."

Lin's heart was overwhelmed with great surprise.

She knew she shouldn't smile, but she couldn't suppress the joy in her eyes and eyebrows.

"That... that's fine too! I will definitely treat Miss Su as my own sister in the future!"

As he was speaking, he heard a servant come running to report:

"My Lord, Zhao Yong is back!"

Xiao Guangyu immediately stood up eagerly, his eyes full of worry:

"Quickly send him in!"

How could he come back so soon? Was there something that couldn't be solved?
