"Master, you can drink a bowl of soup first." Mrs. Zhang did not answer directly, but filled him with a wolfberry pigeon soup.

Zhang Chunnian glanced at the soup and said dissatisfiedly: "Do I need to drink this tonic soup?" ”

"The master is getting older, and I haven't been able to give you a son, so I need to make up for it, and I'll give you a few good concubines later." Mrs. Zhang comforted him very intimately.

Compared with the previous-for-tat, Mrs. Zhang is now a lot more obedient, and Zhang Chunnian decided to respond to her this time.

After taking a sip, Zhang Chunnian felt weird, but when he saw that Mrs. Zhang also drank it, he didn't doubt it anymore and began to drink it in a big gulp.

After eating, Zhang Chunnian felt a little dizzy, but Mrs. Zhang still helped him to Zhang Yao's yard.

Seeing Zhang Chunnian coming over suddenly, he was so frightened that he hurriedly ran into the house.

After a while, Zhang Yao slowly walked out.

"Father, mother." She was a little afraid of Zhang Chunnian, standing on the other side of Mrs. Zhang, and shouted Zhang Chunnian timidly.

Zhang Chunnian looked at his daughter, as if he saw his sister, and his eyes turned red all of a sudden.

"Daddy?" Zhang Yao shouted again with some hesitation.

"It's okay, Yaoyao is here for Dad." Zhang Chunnian rarely showed a gentle side and beckoned at Zhang Yao.

Mrs. Zhang comforted her daughter: "It's okay, go ahead." ”

Seeing that today's Zhang Chunnian was different from before, Zhang Yao slowly let go of Mrs. Zhang's hand and walked in front of Zhang Chunnian.

"Good! Very good! Zhang Chunnian excitedly held Zhang Yao's hand.

When he thought about it, he hadn't seen his daughter in years.

The older she gets, the more she really looks like her sister.

Thinking of Concubine Zhang, Zhang Chunnian couldn't help but touch Zhang Yao's face: "Yaoyao is so good-looking!" It's getting more and more like your aunt. ”

As soon as these words came out, Zhang Yao was frightened.

Sure enough, Zhang Chunnian's next sentence was: "Next year's draft is going to be drafted again, and when the time comes, Daddy will send you to the palace, and everything will be arranged." ”

"Daddy!" Zhang Yao was so frightened that she burst into tears.

Zhang Chunnian couldn't see Zhang Yao's cowardly appearance, thinking about how strong and sensible his sister was at the beginning!

He inexplicably felt a wave of anger in his heart, and raised his hand to fan Zhang Yao's face.

Zhang Yao was taught to be virtuous and virtuous since she was a child, and she didn't dare to resist at all, so she closed her eyes in fear.

Seeing this scene, Mrs. Zhang stretched out her hand and easily stopped Zhang Chunnian: "Master, that's enough!" ”

Zhang Chunnian, who was stopped, turned his head incredulously, he wanted to exert himself, but found that he had no strength.

Suddenly, his chest was tight, his stomach was tumbling, and he vomited blood with a "poof".

This sudden change frightened Zhang Yao.

On the contrary, Mrs. Zhang shook off Zhang Chunnian's hand very calmly.

Losing the support of his strength, Zhang Chunnian staggered back two steps.

With a pop, he covered his heart and sat on the ground.

Mrs. Zhang helped the stunned Zhang Yao and gently comforted her: "Yaoyao, don't be afraid, your father won't beat you again in the future, my mother knows that Master Fu is in your yard, go and ask him to come out, and my mother has something to say to him." ”

Zhang Yao turned her head in a daze and went to the house.

After a while, Zhang Yao brought a man out.

Zhang Chunnian, who was sitting on the ground, suddenly widened his eyes and looked at the man next to Zhang Yao in shock: "You actually ......"

Before he could finish his sentence, his heart ached, and another mouthful of blood spat out.

Mrs. Zhang turned around, looked at the visitor quietly, and said with a smile: "You have lived in my daughter's room for so long, what are you going to do?" ”

The person who came was Fu Shiyi, his face was full of shame, he opened the hem of his clothes, and knelt in front of Mrs. Zhang: "Thank you Miss Zhang for saving me, Mrs. Zhang helped, as for Miss Zhang's reputation, I ...... below."

"Mother!" Zhang Yao's face suddenly turned red, and she ran over and grabbed Mrs. Zhang's hand, "He's a gentleman!" Didn't see anything and didn't do anything! ”

Mrs. Zhang looked at her daughter with such an eager explanation, and even forgot that she was afraid, and her heart was mixed for a while.

If it weren't for her daughter's future, she wouldn't have made a desperate bet and poisoned her husband.

"Yaoyao, my mother knows that you like him, so she saved him at the risk of being found by your father, from last year to this year, his injuries are almost better, and it is time to leave, when the time comes, he will remember you, and the whole world will know that he has lived in your room for more than half a year, what will your reputation do when the time comes?"

Mrs. Zhang knew that her daughter was soft-hearted and kind-hearted, but she had to force Fu Shiyi to bear this matter.

She turned her head to look at Fu Shiyi: "I can see that you have a sweetheart, but if you don't promise to marry Yaoyao in the future, Zhang Chunnian's fate will be your fate." ”

"Mother!" Zhang Yao was stunned, looked at Fu Shiyi, and then at his mother, so anxious that he couldn't say anything.

"Yaoyao, mother's time is running out, your father is about to fall, only you and I can't rest assured, I must arrange your home."

Mrs. Zhang looked at her daughter and gently stroked her hair.

Zhang Yao cried all of a sudden: "Mother! Are you still sick? If there is any lack of medicine, I will write to my cousin immediately, and she will help me find it. ”

Mrs. Zhang was distressed, and her eyes turned red all of a sudden, but she could only endure her sadness: "This is all fate, my mother didn't listen to your grandfather when she was young, she had to marry your father and help her hurt the heavens and reason, and now the retribution is coming, my mother is not afraid, my mother is only afraid of affecting you." ”

The mother and daughter cried together, and Fu Shiyi next to her knelt like this, listening to Mrs. Zhang babbling about the past. Dream Island Library

The things that were revealed from time to time made Fu Shiyi frightened.

Over the years, the reason why Zhang Chunnian has been able to become the patriarch of the Zhang family, climb to the position of the prefect of Lingcheng, and cover the sky in Lingcheng with one hand, is actually the handwriting of Mrs. Zhang.

Fu Shiyi looked at Mrs. Zhang's confession sentence by sentence, and saw more and more clearly that she was not a simple woman.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Chunnian and his wife have been a party to the trouble for so many years, but they have raised such a kind-hearted daughter who does not know the world.

Thinking of Luo Chan in the palace, Fu Shiyi's eyes saw those pictures of him and Luo Chan, and suddenly they were shattered into pieces.

Looking at Zhang Yao, who was crying in front of her, she really didn't know anything in the past six months.

In the entire Zhang family, the most innocent is Zhang Yao.

Zhang Chunnian wanted to send her to the palace so that his career would be more unimpeded.

Because Mrs. Zhang is separated from Zhang Chunnian, she has not cared about outside affairs for several years.

Fu Shiyi has been here for so long, and he has seen Zhang Yao crying because of various things, but he has never been so heartbroken as today.

watched his mother poison his father with her own hands, and learned that his mother would die soon.

At this moment, Fu Shiyi's heart softened.

He stood up, walked up to the mother and daughter, and stretched out his hand: "Mrs. Zhang, I am willing to be responsible." ”

Zhang Yao turned her head in a daze and looked at him in disbelief.

And Mrs. Zhang smiled sadly, she used a bitter trick, Fu Shiyi could also see it, but he was still willing to protect Zhang Yao.

Mrs. Zhang nodded, and then looked at Zhang Chunnian: "I know that you came to investigate two cases by the emperor's order, and this matter involves many people. ”

Fu Shiyi stared at Mrs. Zhang: "Do you have a way?" ”

Mrs. Zhang smiled confidently: "Didn't Master Fu hear it all just now?" I have a lot of things to do, depending on how you want to deal with them, the difference is just the length of time. ”

"I want to work for the well-being of the people of Lingcheng." Fu Shiyi said what he thought.

If the atmosphere in Jiangnan is not completely purged, one Zhang Chunnian will fall, and the next Zhang Chunnian will appear.

Mrs. Zhang clenched Zhang Yao's hand, and her daughter really didn't see the wrong person.

For two days in a row, Zhang Chunnian did not go to the Yamen.

Some of his men immediately couldn't sit still and went to visit him.

To everyone's surprise, Mrs. Zhang, who had not seen guests for many years, actually greeted them.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the master fell ill when he was working two days ago, and he needs to recuperate for a few days, and at present, the concubine will take the place of the master and discuss things with the adults, and I will convey the meaning of the master when there are any arrangements."

After hearing Mrs. Zhang's words, someone immediately slapped the table to express dissatisfaction: "You can still be the master of a woman's family!" I want to see Mr. Zhang! ”

If one person is dissatisfied, someone will follow.

After a while, seven of the dozens of people who came were dissatisfied with Mrs. Zhang.

Only three of the older ones were still seated.

The person who took the lead felt a little bad, they all followed Zhang Chunnian later, and the previous things were not very clear.

But he can achieve today's status, and he still has a little bit of an eye.

He immediately asked the old man who was following Zhang Chunnian next to him: "Lord Xu, what do you think?" ”

Lord Xu, who was over forty years old, slowly raised his head, then got up, and arched his hand to Mrs. Zhang very respectfully: "Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Zhang are young husband and wife, the couple is deeply affectionate, and their subordinates are willing to obey Mrs. Zhang's arrangement." ”

Lord Xu followed Zhang Chunnian when he was not yet the head of the Zhang family.

As soon as he spoke, the rest of the people immediately extinguished the fire.

Mrs. Zhang glanced at everyone: "Ladies and gentlemen, do you have any objections?" ”

No one spoke, and even if someone was unwilling, they did not dare to say it.

In the following days, Zhang Chunnian no longer went to the Yamen, and the people of the Yamen sent to Zhang's house any official affairs, and then implemented them one by one after the arrangements were made.

After listening to the news sent from Ruyi Building, Wen Qingzhu was full of doubts.

Could it be that something happened to Zhang Chunnian?

But the movement of the mausoleum city in the past two days is not much different from before, and it seems that Zhang Chunnian is still operating behind the scenes.

"Miss, Mr. Qiao also sent news over there, saying that the Zhang family is now like an iron bucket, and there is no way to get in, and there is no way to find out the news inside."

Green Tao took the letter sent by Qiao Hu and handed it to Wen Qingzhu.

After reading it, Wen Qingzhu pinched his eyebrows: "We have found out that Fu Shiyi went to Zhang's house before he disappeared, and now that the Zhang family is heavily guarded, he can't enter at all, so he can't continue to wait, right?" ”

Lu Tao didn't know what to do, and when she was in the capital, she also helped the young lady with advice.

When she arrived at Lingcheng, her eyes were also black.

If it weren't for the young lady's patience to teach her little by little, she wouldn't have figured out the current situation in Lingcheng at all.

But after this time, she also learned how to collect information in an unfamiliar place.

"Miss, I heard that the Zhang family is going to purchase a batch of medicines every day, why don't we go to the buyer and have a look?" Green Tao made a suggestion.
