great mandate

The back of Luo Jinyu's head was pressed against the bed, and there was no way to retreat. He raised his eyes helplessly, and finally looked at Shen Wuji.

Shen Wuji was facing him, and they were already very close, so close that occasionally, the tip of Shen Wuji's nose seemed to brush his cheek, but it didn't.Luo Jinyu didn't know, he was just at a loss, just at a loss.

Finally, he whispered: "Eunuch."

Luo Jinyu's voice made Shen Wuji's lips stop a thin distance from his cheek.

"I'm still in the period of filial piety." Luo Jinyu said with downcast eyes.

Shen Wuji was startled, and after a while, he let go of his hands in a panic, stood up, took a step back, and pretended to straighten his sleeves: "Oh."

As he moved away, Luo Jinyu also calmed down, the redness on her face gradually dissipated, and she said, "Sorry."

Shen Wuji tugged his hand at the front of his shirt, and said uncomfortably: "Our family is taking the liberty."

The two of them didn't know what to say for a while, they stayed there awkwardly, looking at each other.

After a while, the two spoke at the same time——

"you--"

"we--"

The two of them stopped talking at the same time, and Luo Jinyu raised his hand as a gesture of invitation.

Shen Wuji breathed out a long breath silently, and said: "Our family still has some important matters, excuse me, if you have something to do, call Xifeng." He asked again, "What do you want to say?"

Luo Jinyu said: "Eunuch, please be busy, there is no need to delay the affairs for this servant."

"I don't have anything to do, so why bother talking..." Shen Wuji said coyly, "If you need to call our house, just call Xifeng."

It was inconvenient for Luo Jinyu to respond to this, so she pretended she hadn't heard it.

Seeing that he stopped talking, Shen Wuji felt even more uncomfortable, muttered a few words, and planned to run away.

But when Shen Wuji fled to the door of the house, he suddenly heard the person behind him calling him: "Eunuch."

Shen Wuji hurriedly stopped, turned around and said, "What's the matter?"

Luo Jinyu felt guilty, but still reminded: "Peng Zu Xiaoyin..."

"That fellow Xifeng, haven't you found this out for you yet?" Shen Wuji hurriedly said, "I'll scold him later, I don't know what laziness I'm doing every day!"

"Eunuch, please don't blame Eunuch Xifeng." Luo Jinyu said hastily, "I think it's because I suddenly had an emergency, and Eunuch Xifeng couldn't take care of it for a while."

"En." Shen Wuji said, "I'll ask him to get it for you."

"Thank you father-in-law."

Shen Wuji nodded, turned around, just stepped over the threshold with one foot, then took it back, hesitating for a moment, looking back, met Luo Jinyu's eyes watching his back, both of them were stunned.

After being stunned for a while, Shen Wuji asked in a low voice: "Wait for you to pass the filial piety..."

Luo Jinyu: "..."

Shen Wuji felt that it was not good to look aggressive like this, so he changed the way of asking: "If you are not in the filial piety now, just now..."

Luo Jinyu: "..."

It is also inappropriate to ask like this.

Forget it, don't ask.

Shen Wuji cleared his throat, and said: "It's nothing, you rest more, our family goes to handle business."

"Father."

Shen Wuji waited nervously for Luo Jinyu to speak.

Luo Jinyu hesitated for a moment, then said, "Eunuch, go slowly."

Shen Wuji: "..."

Shen Wuji, "Yes."

East Factory.

"I don't know that Eunuch Shen came to inspect today, and he is far away from welcoming you, so don't blame him!" After hearing the report, Mr. Dongchang hurriedly came out to meet Shen Wuji.

It stands to reason that the Dongchang masters of all dynasties were all powerful eunuchs with power over the government and the public. The previous dynasty was Cao Guozhong, but this dynasty is a little special. Shen Wuji handed over the Dongchang to other high-ranking supervisors, and he only served as an inspector , and this chief supervisor knew his identity well, he didn't dare to be confused, and treated Shen Wuji with respect.

"Eunuch He, don't talk about such nonsense." Shen Wuji glanced at him, and said, "Is our family here today for inspection, or something else, you don't know?"

To gain Shen Wuji's trust and become the master of Dongchang, He Fangzhou is naturally not a fool, he smiled along with him, and said in a low voice: "That kid was just caught last night..."

"It's a good thing I caught it last night. Our house was still in time for the heat. If it was caught the night before, our family would not be able to catch up with it today." Shen Wuji raised the corners of his lips slightly, speaking lightly , seemed to be amiable, but it made He Fangzhou sweat profusely, and hurriedly said: "I—"

Shen Wuji interrupted him: "You are Cao Guozhong's adoptive son, and you have been taken care of by him. It's not incomprehensible that you can't bear with his only nephew by blood. You, Fangzhou, are kind and kind. You have been so famous since you were a child. If not, our family would not let you sit in this seat." Shen Wuji paused for a moment, squinting at He Fangzhou who was half a step behind him, "The other thing is that our family can't talk about it, and there is no need to tell you about those high-sounding things. Big talk, but you have to know how many bloodlines Cao Guozhong has cut off, what’s the matter, others deserve to cut off their children and grandchildren, but he himself deserves to keep bloodlines?”

"Of course not." He Fangzhou said with a trembling voice, "It's just..."

In the end, he didn't continue, just sighed, and led Shen Wuji to the inner hall, asking someone to mention Cao Guozhong's nephew.

Not long after, Cao Guozhong's nephew was brought up.

At that time, Shen Wuji was sitting on the master chair in the main seat drinking tea, when he first heard the man cry with tears in his eyes: "Brother Wuji!"

Shen Wuji pretended not to hear, continued to drink tea, then put down the teacup slowly, looked at the young man who was pinned to the ground with a smile, and said softly: "Oh, young master Yaozong's gold branches and jade leaves, how can he be dressed in such a coarse cloth prisoner?" Take it, your face is still so dirty."

He Fangzhou sat beside him, couldn't bear to hear the words, sighed silently, and quietly turned his eyes away.

But Cao Yaozong lay on the ground and burst into tears, crying and saying: "They bully me, brother Wuji, they bully me!"

He Fangzhou: "..."

Ugh.

He Fangzhou is not an ignorant person, he also knows that Cao Guozhong is a treacherous and evil person, and he also knows how many bloodlines Cao Guozhong has destroyed, but he still feels pity for Cao Guozhong's nephew, just because... this child is a fool.

Maybe Cao Guozhong committed too many crimes. His parents and elder brothers all died early, and there was only such a nephew left in the family, but he was still a fool.

The fool Cao Yaozong didn't know what happened, he was still yelling at Shen Wuji blindly.

He Fangzhou was even more emotional.

Cao Guozhong treated his only nephew as his own, even if he was a fool, he would still love him, and arranged many people to take care of him and play with him, and Shen Wuji and He Fangzhou were once one of these playmates.

Shen Wuji also had tricks, this Cao Yaozong liked Shen Wuji very much, he didn't listen to what his uncle said, but he was coaxed into submission by Shen Wuji, and because of this, he got Cao Guozhong's favor, which made Shen Wuji more favored in front of Cao Guozhong.

Shen Wuji put down the teacup unhurriedly, got up and went to Cao Yaozong, motioned the eunuch to release Cao Yaozong, and stepped aside.

As soon as he let go, Cao Yaozong jumped up and hugged Shen Wuji's leg, crying heartbreakingly and complained, nothing more than that the food he ate was unpalatable, he was not allowed to wash his face and bathe, and even put the toilet in the same room as him. In the small room, there are mice in the room, and so on.

Shen Wuji heard him cry, and said softly: "Shut up, Yaozong."

Cao Yaozong obediently covered his eyes, sat on the ground, looked up at him tearfully.

Shen Wuji squatted in front of him, stretched out his hand to straighten his clothes, and smiled: "The food is terrible, have you eaten yet?"

Cao Yaozong shook his head aggrievedly.

"Then you must be hungry?" Shen Wuji asked.

Cao Yaozong nodded hastily, and his stomach growled in unison.

Shen Wuji got up, brought the pastry on the table, took a piece and handed it to Cao Yaozong: "Eat it."

Cao Yaozong hurriedly took the cake and ate it hungrily.

"Don't worry, I'm choking." Shen Wuji gave him another piece.

Cao Yaozong nodded while chewing with puffed cheeks, like a little hamster.

In fact, although Cao Yaozong called Shen Wuji brother all the time, he was older than Shen Wuji, and his stature was about the same height as Shen Wuji.It's just that he is stupid and behaves like a child.

He Fangzhou couldn't help watching them secretly.

Shen Wuji fed Cao Yaozong patiently, suddenly seeing the fool stop talking, handed half of the pastry in front of him, his mouth was full of pastry scum, and said with a smile: "It's delicious, I'll eat it for you too."

He Fangzhou only hoped that Shen Wuji would see Cao Yaozong's sincerity towards him, and not put Cao Guozhong's blame on a fool.

Unexpectedly, Shen Wuji smiled slightly, took the pastry, but said: "It is in the same line as Eunuch Cao, when Eunuch Cao got the pastry from the sage, he also told our family that it was delicious, and gave it to our family to eat."

He Fangzhou couldn't help but said: "Yaozong and Cao Guozhong are not the same way. Cao Guozhong doesn't take us seriously, rewarding something is a kindness, but Yaozong is eager to cherish and love him..."

Before he finished speaking, Cao Yaozong heard his voice, and as if he saw him, he passed another piece of pastry in his hand, and said crisply: "Brother Fang Zhou also eats it, it's delicious."

He Fangzhou was startled, his eyes were a little sour, but he was afraid of making Shen Wuji unhappy, so he had to harden his heart not to look at Cao Yaozong, let alone get up to pick up the pastry from Cao Yaozong's hand.

Seeing that Brother Fang Zhou ignored him, Cao Yaozong tilted his head in doubt, looked at He Fangzhou, then at Shen Wuji, and asked aggrievedly, "Brother Fang Zhou ignored me..."

"He asked why you ignored him." Shen Wuji said.

He Fangzhou wondered: "I—"

"Treat him." Shen Wuji said.

He Fangzhou was not sure what Shen Wuji meant, but since Shen Wuji said so, he hurriedly got up and went over, squatting beside Cao Yaozong, took the pastry from Cao Yaozong's hand, and lowered his head to put it in his mouth.

Shen Wuji returned the half cake in his hand to Cao Yaozong: "I'm not hungry, you eat."

Cao Yaozong nodded, holding the pastry and continuing to eat, looking very cute.

"After eating, go wash up, get dressed, our family will take you to see your uncle." Shen Wuji said with a smile.

He Fangzhou was startled: "Elder--"

"He Fangzhou," Shen Wuji interrupted him, "a thought of benevolence is not a bad thing. For example, you protected me and helped me back then, and once I gained power, I had many benefits from you. But sometimes, you have to know, woman Ren will become a bad thing. The word benevolence is good or bad, you have to hold your own, understand?"

He Fangzhou hesitated to speak.

"Don't worry about it." Shen Wuji couldn't see his despondent look, and frowned, "You silly son won't die if you toss around!"

He Fangzhou: "..."
