Because the signs of the embankment's collapse became more and more obvious, Zhizhou had to report the incident to the imperial court. The matter was of great importance, and the imperial court specially sent a censor to investigate the case.

The funds for building the embankment back then did go out from Liu Wenqiao, so he became the most suspected person, and Yushi was the first to inquire about Liu Wenqiao's family.

Liu Wenqiao now has to face strange eyes from insiders when he goes out. It seems that most people have already determined that it was his greed for ink that caused the instability of the embankment, but he didn't say it clearly, and he really felt distressed.

"What's wrong?" Zhao Qianming was unhappy seeing her husband come back.

"I don't know if I can keep my official position this time." Liu Wenqiao said dejectedly, seeing the little maid next to his wife carefully playing with flowers and branches so that he could trim them at any time. He made a handle, and then wrapped it in silk carefully, so as not to be afraid of the leaves splashing on him, two little maids squatted on the ground next to him and pulled the soft cloth to catch it.

Zhao Qianming waved his hand, and several little maids came out in an orderly manner. With such a decent level, any wife in Jijiang Prefecture would be envious when they saw it.

"Is this worth your shame?" Zhao Qianming put down the scissors, sat on the soft chair, and gently flicked the fire of the small charcoal stove. His eyes were picturesque, his every move was beautiful, and his words were careless.

Liu Wenqiao never bothered him with these things, and today it was not as serious as he said, but he was a little unhappy on the face, and didn't tell him the specifics of the matter, but he still needs to wake up, just in case When something happens, it's better to be prepared: "Madam said it was my fault, but wouldn't it be better to be prepared for everything? I let Feng'er stay at home these days, try not to cause trouble, and don't trouble us."

Zhao Qianming sneered softly: "The main reason is that you are frowning and look haggard, otherwise, what do you think I am asking? As for Feng'er, she is naturally the most obedient. Don't restrain him all day long. It's normal to have a lot of playfulness at a young age."

Liu Wenqiao blinked uncomfortably. Although Madam said it tactfully, he knew what it meant. He was overworked now, and he was getting older, so he really looked less and less compatible with Madam. , looks about the same age as Feng'er, he is worried!

Seeing that her husband had turned his mood to the other side, Zhao Qianming made him a cup of tea, leaned over and said, "However, I still like you the most." Before Liu Wenqiao showed joy, he continued : "But you also know that the most important thing I can't lose is face. If I go back to the capital this year because you make me laugh..."

Come on, Liu Wenqiao didn't show his face this time, but he was panicking in his heart. He was considered a handsome and talented man in the capital, otherwise his wife would not have liked him. Now he is under the supervision of his wife. , in fact, he is much younger than his colleagues, but recently he has been impatient and stayed up all night, and his complexion has become a lot more sluggish.

After Liu Wenqiao wiped Zhao Qianming's flower dew as required, Zhao Qianming took out the paper in the envelope to read again, and said to himself: "The Yang family, I am afraid that the position of the grand master has been held for a long time, so it's just I don’t remember being a human and staying on the front line.”

Seeing that the paper was completely burned, Zhao Qianming got up and wrote a letter. After thinking about it, he wrote some of Feng'er's daily life. Hand it over to the next person, and ask for it to be delivered as soon as possible.

"Ma'am, the old lady got very angry in the Buddhist hall today, and now I want you to go over!" The servant girl came to report.

Zhao Qianming didn't leave immediately, but asked, "Did you say why?"

"It seems to be because of the young master." The servant girl also didn't understand that there was only the young master and one child in the entire Liu residence, and there was only the wife in the master's room. The master loved his wife very much, and there would be no third person.That is to say, the young master is the only grandson of the old lady, so he should be very fond of him, but the old lady always picks up the nose and eyes, and always finds the young master disliked, and I don't know why.

Liu Wenqiao just came out and asked, "What's the matter?"

The servant girl replied: "It seems that because the young master went to pay his respects to the old lady today, he accidentally knocked over a cup of tea. The old lady was very angry, and now she is going to ask the lady to ask the crime!" After finishing speaking, she withdrew.

Liu Wenqiao wanted to frown, but at the same time he had to think about his own face, Zhao Qianming frowned, not knowing what he thought of, and said with a pale face: "Husband, I..."

Liu Wenqiao knew that he must have remembered the incident when his mother punished him to kneel in the ancestral hall, so he immediately put his arms around him and said, "It's okay, I'm here!"

"I just thought of our child. If it weren't for...our child would not have left like that." Zhao Qianming really cried out sadly: "Now Feng'er has even caused Feng'er to lose her biological parents. No one knows, the eldest brother and sister-in-law take care of us, and every time we go home, we only dare to look at it secretly, and dare not speak out."

Liu Wenqiao also thought of the only flesh and blood he had ever had, and felt pain and hatred in his heart, but he still comforted him first: "Feng'er is our own flesh and blood, if others dare to say a word, no matter who, I will definitely not I'll let him go, okay, okay, you don't have to go to this matter, I'll take care of it."

If it wasn't for the mother who insisted on finding an excuse to lock Qian Ming in the ancestral hall for a few days when his wife was pregnant, just to find an excuse to stuff people in her room, Qian Ming would not have lost the child, let alone because it was broken. The body will not be able to conceive in the future.

Later, in order to make up for Qianming's pain of losing a son, the eldest brother and sister-in-law raised the newly born Feng'er under their name, and Liu Wenqiao always regarded Feng'er as her own flesh and blood.It's good now, Mother always remembers that Feng'er is not a member of the Liu family looking for mistakes, and never knows to reflect on her own mistakes, Liu Wenqiao Xin comforted her husband before going to the backyard.

After Liu Wenqiao left, Zhao Qianming wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, thinking of the child he was punished to kneel in the ancestral hall, and even killed with incense, he was still depressed.In fact, he is not completely broken, and he can still conceive in the future, but he does not want to replace the existence of that child with the next child.

Besides, Zhao Qianming also blamed Liu Wenqiao for letting him relax his vigilance by saying what Mrs. Liu said so well. Although he was a little unreasonable, he was never a person who accommodated others.I also blame myself for not realizing it earlier, this is a punishment for the two of them.Moreover, Mrs. Liu, since you let yourself lose a child, then you also have another taste of losing a child, isn't it fair?

There was an accident at Liu Yufeng's family, Li Yiyun was busy dealing with internal conflicts in the family, and Zhang Zhen didn't let up, a small thing happened: a guest had a bad stomach.

After all, the weather is cold. Although there are fireplaces hanging around, there is still a small stream flowing inside the delicious shop, so it is understandable that he accidentally caught a cold during the meal. Zhang Zhen first thought about giving some compensation , I didn't expect that the guest would not give up, and insisted that the problem was caused by the dirty dishes.

"Don't talk about it, you are bullying customers now! If you have a problem, you think you can pay a little money, but let me tell you, it's not that simple! I'm not that kind of person who accepts bribes, so I'm going to stand here and tell everyone , There is something wrong with the food in this store! Everyone, be careful when you come here to eat, I am still light, if something serious happens, everyone think about it!" The man stood in the middle of the crowd, Justice said awe-inspiringly.

People around, you look at me, I look at you, whispering to each other, but few people really respond.The man originally thought that after he had finished speaking, many people must have questioned him, but he didn't expect that his incitement would not have much effect at all, so he couldn't help but said: "Everyone, please believe me, I am lying on the bed. It’s been several days, and the doctor who treated me is from the one on the corner of West Street, if you don’t believe me, you can ask, he can testify for me.”

These words are well-founded. I thought at least some of them believed it after I said this sentence, but I didn't expect someone to speak, but what I said was questioning: "I don't seem to have seen you before?"

"It was the first time I came here to eat last time. I heard my classmates say that the food here is very good, so I believed it. I didn't expect that exaggeration is fine, but it can still make people go wrong." After a while, he made up his mind. If it doesn't work like this now, he will find a few people to carry him over. When it looks so serious, he must be afraid.

After Zhang Zhen finished speaking, he said, "Did you come to eat with your friends?"

"No, I'm the only one who wanted to come here to try something new. If it's done well, I'll come with my friends, but I didn't expect it to look like this."

"I want to ask, do you still remember what you ate that day?" Zhang Zhen continued to ask.

"How can I remember this clearly? I ordered more than a dozen dishes that day. I can't remember every dish." , the others showed strange looks.

"You ate all a dozen dishes by yourself?"

Thinking that one person would definitely not be able to finish it, the man said: "I just ate a little of the same thing, what's the matter? Is it okay if I have money? Okay, are you done asking? Don't delay me to tell everyone the truth and expose you face!"

"It's over." Zhang Zhen raised her fan and glanced at the door.

A man who looked like a servant ran over, holding a few ingots of gold in his hand, and shouted as he ran, "My lord! You forgot to bring your money when you went out today, so put it away quickly. If you lose it, sell it." The villain can't afford it either!"

The man looked at the yellow gold and thought that the person who confessed to him must be too generous. This young man must have come to cooperate with him, but when the gold is in his hands, it will not be so easy to take it off. He said with a smile: "Hurry up and bring it, my lord, I know, it's only a few ingots of broken gold, and it's worth your fuss!"

Unexpectedly, the man dressed as a servant waited for him to stretch out his hand, took a quick step back, and cursed: "What are you, you dare to come here to put on airs! You dare to scold us, I'm sorry!" This person is not Xiao Miao but who?It turned out that he came to defraud this person on purpose, but he was a liar, and he dared to defraud them, you shameless person!
