If they weren't sisters, Meng Youshu wouldn't be so resolute in rejecting them.

Even though Meng Youlin made her flustered and at a loss, Meng Youshu never blamed her.

Arlene is still young, it is inevitable to make mistakes, and it is even more inevitable to confuse her feelings for her. After all, for a long time, Arlene did not like to contact outsiders. She has been in the mansion for a long time, and she is the only person she gets along with daily.

Maybe it would be good to let Arlene go out and get to know more people.

Meng Youshu was actively thinking about how to change.She didn't avoid seeing Meng Youlin, but often took her out, or asked her maid to persuade her to go out for a walk.

Everything is the same as usual, except that Meng Youlin calls her Ashu again, and she will patiently correct her to call her elder sister. Over time, Meng Youlin also changed, calling her older sister obediently, and stopped saying those outrageous words, just like that day It's just that she had a demonic obstacle, and now that she's recovered, she's back to the original track.

However, what happened will not be without trace.

Meng Youlin became more well-behaved than before, and she did what Meng Youshu said, as if she had become an obedient and well-behaved slave, not daring to disobey her master's orders.

A sudden incident happened in the court hall. The former Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites committed suicide in prison. He broke the porcelain bowl he used for eating and hid a piece. At night, it pierced into his heart. When the jailer found out the next day, he was bleeding out. and died.

The emperor was furious, and ordered Jin Yiwei to investigate thoroughly.Jin Yiwei has never been sympathetic in handling cases, they only obey the emperor's edict, and no one else, even the prime minister, can interfere.

Mu Sheng finally figured out what was wrong with Min Shijie two years ago.

Because the emperor asked his ministers to recommend a new prime minister, the witnesses who had testified against the former minister retracted their confessions one after another. This scene was too familiar.Mu Sheng thought for a long time, then suddenly remembered that two years ago, when Min Shijie led Wan Niang to her and Cui Yunji, his words and demeanor suddenly became extremely refined and kind.He is usually very friendly, but he has never been so magnanimous and approachable.Now that I think about it carefully, it was after the initial establishment of the five phases.

But this time, he is the only one in the affairs of the Ministry of Rites.

Like a joint that had been hidden in the mist was suddenly opened, Mu Sheng finally understood why Min Shijie handed Lin Tan's suicide note to her and Cui Yunji.

Because that suicide note was too tempting for him, it contained all the times that many officials had been corrupt and accepted bribes, but his was missing. Although it aroused suspicion, it proved that he was rare in the world.

If Min Shijie's intention is in aspect, for an ambitious person, what could make him more excited than this innocence!

After Mu Sheng figured out this link, he guessed that this case of the Ministry of Rites must be fueled by Min Shijie. If the mud is not stained, it is very likely to worship the prime minister.

Lin Tan was able to write such a posthumous note, which not only ensured that it would be handed over to you smoothly, but also secretly arranged for Min Shijie to give you a favor so that you had to keep Wanniang. It can be seen that she has a plan in mind. From this point of view, there must be something behind!Mu Sheng found Cui Yunji, told her thoughts, and finally said so.

Cui Yunji made great contributions in the south of the Yangtze River, and after returning to Beijing, she was promoted to Jing Zhaoyin, ranking fourth rank.This case of the Ministry of Rites did not implicate her, but after all, it was left behind by the Jiangnan incident, and Wanniang was still with her.

After hearing this, Cui Yunji hurriedly asked, "Have you ever reported it to Your Majesty?"

Since I reported to His Majesty first, Jin Yiwei has already gone to investigate.Mu Sheng said calmly, if Lin Tan has left behind, it must be with Wan Niang.Only by putting it in Wanniang's hands can it be convenient for them to find it.

Cui Yunji nodded: "Wanniang is in my residence, Lord Shangqing will follow me."

The two went to Cui's mansion without any delay.

After Wanniang came to Beijing with Cui Yunji, she lived in her home.It's just that the two don't meet much on weekdays. Wanniang likes to be quiet. She mostly reads and embroiders in her room, and rarely goes out. Cui Yunji is also busy, so she often tells the housekeeper to take care of Wanniang's food and clothing. Don't neglect her. I never asked.In her heart, there is an extra Wanniang in the mansion, but it is just raising someone more.

Speaking of which, the two haven't seen each other for nearly half a year.

Cui Yunji led Mu Sheng into Wanniang's courtyard.The environment there is quiet, the flowers are fragrant, and several houses are well-kept, which makes people feel good.

Mu Sheng looked around, followed Cui Yunji to the outside of the house.

This is Wanniang's residence, the two of them never trespassed, Cui Yunji stood in the courtyard and said loudly: "Yunji pays a visit."Is Wanniang here?

Soon there was a sound of footsteps in the room, from far to near, the door creaked and opened from the inside, Wan Niang walked out in a lake blue skirt with light steps.

Master Cui.She saluted Cui Yunji, saw Mu Sheng, and saluted her again: Mr. Bofu.He didn't know that Mu Sheng had been promoted to Shangqing.

Cui Yunji briefly introduced: Mr. Bofu has paid homage to Qing.

Wan Niang glanced at Mu Sheng in surprise, then smiled wanly and said: Congratulations, my lord.Then he stepped aside and let the two of them into the house.
