When he said this, he raised his eyes and glanced at Ji Yushen.

Ji Yushen still had a pale complexion, not shocked, nor could he see any panic and weakness.

Li Ge Lao was a little hesitant, and the eldest daughter said that the younger son-in-law was a traitor, and the palms and backs of his hands were full of meat, and it was difficult for him to choose.

Ji Yushen said: "Didn't my father-in-law suspect that there was a spy around him, and he called me today, did he want to discuss with me who the spy was, or ...... Suspect I'm a spy? ”

He said it himself first, and Li Ge was shocked.

If the suspicion is wrong, Ji Yushen will inevitably be resentful, if he is asked to throw himself to the emperor because of this, it will be more than worth the loss.

Elder Li Ge waved his hand and motioned to the attendant to give the letter to Ji Yushen, "You are the old man's virtuous son-in-law, and the old man naturally doesn't doubt you." I don't know why the concubine in the palace pointed out that you are a spy, how do you explain it? ”

Ji Yushen calmly took the letter, opened it and looked at it, with a rare smile on his face.

It wasn't a joyful laugh, it was a mocking laugh.

He almost glanced at ten lines, and put down the letter without looking too much, "I have always heard Ziyue say that the eldest sister is a smart woman, and now I know why she was defeated by Concubine Zhao. ”

Elder Li Ge frowned suddenly, "What do you mean by this?" ”

Ji Yushen said lightly: "Just because my father-in-law has not used a newcomer for many years, and the only newcomer is me, she will bite my spy." It's a pity that she didn't know that my father-in-law didn't tell me about this incident from beginning to end, and I only found out about it after the incident. ”

Elder Li Ge was silent after hearing this.

Ji Yushen only looked at his expression and knew that he was not so easy to dispel suspicions.

"Concubine Zhao is young and has an unstable foundation in the palace, but she is well versed in the way of knowing and employing people. flattered the queen in the palace, and was always in the palace, and she was always there, and Concubine Fang and Concubine Yan were all good friends with her. On the other hand, the eldest sister, over the years, has lived more and more, and her prestige in the palace is not as good as that of Zhao Concubine, and there is no one in her hands who can take advantage of it. ”

"What do you mean by that?"

"Father-in-law still doesn't understand?"

Ji Yushen smiled faintly, "My father-in-law has been in the court for so many years, and the eldest sister has not learned the ability to know and employ people. If she can find the real spy with her ability, then why is she losing now? ”

Elder Li Ge was completely silent.

The attendants below looked at him and then at Ji Yushen, but they didn't dare to say much.

After a while, Li Ge said: "You are the son-in-law of the old man, and the old man will naturally not doubt you." It's just that when she said so, the old man couldn't help but ask. ”

Ji Yushen just smiled, as if he didn't take this matter seriously from beginning to end.

Although Su Youyi treated him politely, she was still thoughtful to him at a critical juncture, and did not leave any traces pointing to him as much as possible.

Lee's accusations are unsubstantiated simply because he is a newcomer.

Even if Li Ge Lao was suspicious, he couldn't easily close the coffin for his son-in-law.

It's just that......

He looked at Ji Yushen, "The old man didn't tell you about this matter beforehand, and you reminded the old man to solve it afterwards." Even if I didn't tell you about the things in the house, people come and go, and you always know some clues. With your cleverness, these clues are enough to understand. ”

Ji Yushen's brows furrowed almost inaudibly, and before he could speak, he suddenly heard Li Ziyue's voice outside.

"Father, how can my husband be a spy!"

Li Ziyue hurriedly ran in from outside the hall, looking anxious, "The eldest sister has been in the palace all the time, and she is not clear about the things outside the palace, she must have made a mistake, the husband can't be a spy!" ”

Jing'er behind her was holding a food box in her hand, standing outside the door and not daring to come in, thinking that she was here to deliver food.

Li Ge Lao frowned, "Who asked you to come to the front hall?" For the father and Yushen to discuss, these things have never been done without your interference, you can step down. ”

Li Ziyue shook her head again and again, and walked to Ji Yushen's side, "Fortunately, I came to bring food to my father before I heard such words." Father, don't be wrong about your husband, he's not such a person! ”

Her hand firmly grasped Ji Yushen's arm, and Ji Yushen patted it gently, which was considered a sense of comfort, and Li Ziyue let go.

"You go out first, don't upset your father-in-law."

"I'm not leaving!"

Li Ziyue was very resolute, "Father can't wronged you like this, why can you say that you are a spy without evidence?" Father, what evidence do you have to say that? ”

Li Ge Lao was accused by his own daughter, and suddenly lost face, and slapped the table angrily, "Bold!" Who allows you to speak like this before the Father? ”

He suddenly coughed violently, clutching his chest and coughing repeatedly, Li Ziyue suddenly regretted it.

My father is worried about the affairs of the DPRK and China these days, and his body is not good, where can he bear her anger?

When he was about to step forward to comfort him, he saw Li Ge Lao propping up the table, "You have always been pampered in the house, and you can't help your father in any matters in the court, and your father doesn't expect you." Now you want to add to the chaos, do you think your father's life is too long? Your eldest sister has fallen in the palace, and she is a father and has no son, who else can help her father like her? ”

Li Ziyue's footsteps were stunned, and she couldn't take a step forward anymore.

She knew that she was not as good as her eldest sister since she was a child, but she was still sad to be said by someone who was a father.

Could it be that in the eyes of his father, only the eldest sister is the helper, and she is the one who drags her feet?

Her eyes were filled with tears in an instant, and Ji Yushen was silent when she saw this.

He knew where Li Ziyue's heart knot, a pampered eldest lady, what she minded most was to be despised by her relatives and compared to her own compatriots.

The Li family used to be so beautiful in the palace, which made Li Ziyue look like a good-for-nothing young lady, which tilted the balance in Li Ge's heart.

"Yes, I'm useless, I'm not as good as the eldest sister. I'm not here to make my father angry, I'll go! ”

She left in tears, Li Ge Lao raised his head with difficulty, and couldn't help but feel melancholy when he saw her back running out, Ji Yushen said in a timely manner: "Father-in-law doesn't have to worry, Ziyue is a sensible girl, she is just angry for a while, and she won't really misunderstand her father-in-law." She was brought up by her father-in-law, and the family affection that blood is thicker than water will not change. ”

Ji Yushen's words were like ironing from Li Ge's heart, he couldn't help but nodded, and Ji Yushen stepped forward to help him sit down.

Suddenly, he saw the food box that Jing'er had brought when she came at the door, so she went out and brought it in person, "When I came over just now, Ziyue kept telling me to comfort my father-in-law. said that his father-in-law has been worrying a lot lately and his health is not good, and he doesn't know what he came to send food for. ”

After that, he opened the food box and opened his mouth in surprise.

"What is it?"

Li Ge got up and took a look, only to see that there was a light soup in the food box, boiled with Sichuan shell loquat, and the loquat leaves were carefully selected at a glance.

Ji Yushen chuckled: "No wonder I saw her picking loquat leaves in the morning, it turned out to be to make soup for you." ”
