When Xiao Shiji arrived, Xiao Taiji told him about the sudden disaster in his Yue family and asked his eldest brother for help.

Xiao Shiji originally didn't want to get involved in the Guan family's affairs, but now he was a little moved when he heard Long Xiangye mention the past of his father, Xiao Xiangsheng.

"Mom, I'll go to Dali Temple to find someone to inquire about what's going on. What exactly did Guan County Cheng commit?" Xiao Shiji asked carefully.

Long Xiangye was a little dissatisfied, held Xiao Taiji's hand, stared at Xiao Shiji and said: "What can you do? You must be framed! - Prince Yi values ​​you so much, and you help Prince Yi

After doing so many things, it’s not too much for him to give you a favor, right?”

Xiao Taiji also looked at Xiao Shiji with hope and begged: "Brother, we are all relatives..."

Xiao Shiji felt very uncomfortable and said calmly: "It's your in-law's family, not my in-law's family. To say that they are relatives, Shuang'er and the others are also relatives to us, and they are family friends. I have never seen you being so enthusiastic."

Long Xiangye said hurriedly: "If something happens to the Du family, I will ask you to help them. But now that she is married to a high official, why does she need our ability? - You'd better go and find out quickly, it's too late.

I’m worried that my father-in-law and his wife will suffer a lot in prison.”

Xiao Taiji also said quickly: "Brother, if it is difficult to save my father-in-law and mother-in-law, you can save my brother-in-law and brother-in-law first."

Xiao Shiji turned around and left, "I'm going to ask and find out what the crime was." In short, he refused to give a blanket guarantee.

Long Xiangye sighed and shook his head, and said to Xiao Taiji: "Don't blame your elder brother. He will do his best."

How could Xiao Taiji dare to complain about Xiao Shiji? He hurriedly helped Long Xiangye back to the bed and lay down. He asked the maid to serve him and returned to his yard.

Chen Yuejiao and Aunt Jin have settled down and live in the west wing of Chen Yuejiao and Xiao Tai's courtyard.

The Xiao family's house is large, and each courtyard is as big as an average three-in house.

The west wing of the courtyard where Xiao Tai and their family lived was similar to the main room of the former Guan County Cheng family.

Aunt Jin was very grateful and brought Chen Yuejiao over to talk to Guan Yunlian.

When Xiao Taiji came in, Aunt Jin was comforting Guan Yunlian.

"Brother-in-law is here." Chen Yuejiao turned around and saw Xiao Taiji coming in, and hurriedly bowed to him obediently.

Xiao Taiji glanced at her and said "Yeah", "Sister, don't be polite here. Treat it like your own family. If you need anything, just tell your cousin."

Guan Yunlian felt even more grateful when she saw that Xiao Taiji had given face to her mother's family. The sadness on her face disappeared and she personally brought a bowl of tea to Xiao Taiji and said jokingly: "Erlang, my mother said today that my cousin is not like you."

Do you think my sister-in-law looked like her when she was a child?"

Xiao Taiji took a sip and looked up to see Chen Yuejiao looking at him with a smile. Remembering what his mother had just said, he looked at her carefully. He put down the tea bowl and said, "My sister is actually not like Miss Du."

Guan Yunlian only met Du Hengshuang once the day before yesterday, but she was deeply impressed by her appearance. Her complexion is delicate and fair, and her facial features are as delicate and beautiful as the national color peony.

But Chen Yuejiao is as beautiful as three autumn chrysanthemums. She is a beauty in two different forms.

I don’t know why Long Xiangye said they looked alike.

Guan Yunlian nodded in agreement with Xiao Taiji's words, "I don't think they are alike at all. But what I said was when I was a child. I have never seen Miss Du when she was a child, so I don't dare to say whether it looks like her or not."

Xiao Taiji smiled and said: "Miss Du has always had an oval face. She has been since she was a child. My younger sister has a typical oval face. The difference is huge."

Guan Yunlian's eyes flickered.

Obviously, my cousin looked nothing like Miss Du when she was a child. Why did my mother-in-law say this?

Xiao Taiji smiled and said, "Let's set out lunch. I ran around all morning and took a sip of hot tea."

Guan Yunlian hurriedly put her thoughts back, went to the kitchen to see the food in person, and sent it to Aunt Jin and Chen Yuejiao in the west wing for them to eat by themselves. She took her maid to deliver a special dish to Long Xiangye, and then returned to her yard.

Accompany Xiao Tai and have lunch.

Xiao Shiji left the Xiao family and immediately went to Dali Temple. He found a colleague who also worked under Prince Yi and inquired about the case of Guan Xian Cheng, who had just been detained today.

The colleague took a file and rummaged through it for a long time, and finally found the page about Guan County Cheng, and said to Xiao Shiji: "Guan Zheng, Chang'an County Cheng, was imprisoned for corruption. His family property was searched, and a certain amount of stolen money was confiscated.

"

Xiao Shiji quickly glanced at the file and asked, "Is it possible that there is a mistake?"

The colleague chuckled, closed the file and put it back, and said: "If you say he was imprisoned for murder, it is really possible that you are mistaken. But if you say he is greedy, it is absolutely impossible to be mistaken."

"Why is this?" Xiao Shiji asked with a smile, "Didn't he say that he has a good official reputation? He also has a breeze on his sleeves?"

The colleague sneered and said: "I have never seen an official with clean sleeves. You are also someone who has done this kind of thing. If you investigate other things, you may be framed. Only for corruption, if you investigate ten officials,

Maybe it can be found out that all eleven officials are unclean."

Xiao Shiji was speechless, but he knew it was the truth.

The matter of being greedy for ink is tacitly understood from top to bottom. If you want to punish someone, using the excuse of being greedy for ink is definitely not an injustice to the other person.

"Although it is true that he is greedy for ink, usually everyone turns a blind eye. If he stumbles into a fight this time, which god has he offended?" Xiao Shiji asked slowly, quoting his colleagues.

The colleague looked around, made a gesture, and said: "There are people above who don't like Guan Guan, so let's not interfere."

Xiao Shiji hurriedly said: "I don't want to interfere. It's just that my family asked me to come over. It would be wrong if I didn't come and ask."

Only then did the colleague find out that Guan was the in-law of Xiao Shi and his younger brother.

"Fortunately, it's your brother's in-law's family, not yours." The colleague joked half-truthfully, and then assured Xiao Shiji, "It's just greed. After paying off the money, it's just a matter of being dismissed and returning home."

That's enough, your life won't be in danger."

Xiao Shiji nodded, "How much money is the difference? If you need anything, please tell me."

The colleague smiled playfully and patted Xiao Shiji's shoulder, winking at him and saying, "If it's not enough, I will naturally look for you."

Xiao Shiji received the accurate letter, but he was not in a hurry to return home. Instead, he turned around and went to Yijun Prince's Mansion. He stayed there all afternoon and returned home when it was almost dark.

Long Xiangye, Xiao Taiji, and Guan Yunlian had been waiting anxiously for the news. However, they didn't wait until Xiao Shiji came back when it was time to hold the lantern.

"What's going on? How's the in-laws doing?" Long Xiangye was the first to stand up and asked.

Xiao Shiji came over and helped Long Xiangye sit down at the table, and said calmly: "The Cheng of Guan County was accused of corruption."

"Being greedy for ink? - Impossible! My father..." Guan Yunlian immediately retorted.

"The evidence is conclusive. I've seen it all." Xiao Shiji sat down next to Long Xiangye, "I'm not unjustly accusing Guan Xian Cheng. Even if my brothers and sisters go to the prison to ask questions themselves, I'm afraid Guan Xian Cheng will be speechless."

Guan Yunlian couldn't bear it anymore. She burst into tears and rushed out of Long Xiangye's house and ran towards her yard.

Xiao Taiji's eyebrows moved and he ordered the maids: "The second young lady is gone, why are you still here?"

The maids rushed up quickly and caught up with Guan Yunlian.

"Brother has been running outside all day. Are you hungry? I'll order the kitchen to serve the food." Xiao Taiji said, and went to the kitchen to order a few of Xiao Shiji's favorite dishes.

Long Xiangye blinked her eyes. She didn't believe Xiao Shiji's words, "How could my in-laws be greedy for ink? My in-laws have always been a breeze when they are officials..."

Xiao Shiji calmly interrupted Long Xiangye's words, "Mother, it's okay for you to say this to your son, 'an official with cool sleeves', but don't say it outside, so as not to make others laugh."

"Is there really greed for ink?!" Long Xiangye was very surprised. "There is no way to intercede."

Xiao Taiji walked in with the cook and placed the meals on the table one by one.

Xiao Shiji gave Long Xiangye a piece of food with chopsticks. He put down his chopsticks and said, "I'm not hungry. I'll rest in the outer courtyard today. You can close the inner courtyard and put down the keys."

After Xiao Shiji left, Long Xiangye couldn't eat when he saw the table full of food. Xiao Taiji was still filial and coaxed Long Xiangye to eat two pieces of honey-glazed glutinous rice lotus root, a few river shrimps, and also drank a bowl.

Mushroom egg soup.

Guan Yunlian waited anxiously for a few days, and finally received news about her parents. However, they were punished by dismissal from their posts, investigation, confiscation of family property, and deportation of the entire family to their place of origin.

Although this punishment seems severe, it is still much better than losing your life.

The Cheng family of Guan County was released from Dali Temple and could not even return home. They were about to leave for their hometown.

Guan Yunlian and Aunt Jin He Chen Yuejiao were waiting at Shiliting outside the city to say goodbye to her parents.

When Guan Jinshi met Guan Yunlian, she hugged her and cried bitterly together.

Aunt Jin tried to persuade her, and Guan Jin stopped crying, but said to Aunt Jin: "Sister, I will entrust Lian'er to you today. If there is anything wrong with you living with Lian'er, please tell me."

Watch her and don't let her get into trouble. - Your brother-in-law is completely confused this time, he doesn't know which god he offended and was tricked by someone."

Aunt Jin originally wanted to live with the Xiao family. However, Guan Yunlian never gave an accurate answer before, only saying that they would live in the Xiao family "temporarily". Now with Guan Jin's word, they can justifiably stay in the Xiao family.

It’s on.

Guan Yunlian's life in the mansion has not been easy recently.

Although my mother-in-law is still kind and kind, the servants of the Xiao family are a little disobedient.

Now that Guan Jin has been to Dali Temple, she takes some things more seriously. She keeps telling Guan Yunlian, "You must serve your mother-in-law well. Before your sister-in-law comes in, you must firmly hold the power of housekeeping in your own hands."

"You have the opportunity to get in first, but you have to make a careful calculation." Then he pointed at Aunt Jin and said: "Mom is not with you, you will have to rely on yourself from now on. Just let Aunt Jin stay and take care of you.

She also has a plan."

Guan Yunlian nodded repeatedly, "Aunt Jin is a powerful person. With her here, her daughter will not suffer."

Guan Jin felt relieved and went back to his hometown with her husband, two sons, and a daughter-in-law.

Xiao Shiji was noncommittal about the addition of two people to his family, but he was busy at home demolishing the whole yard of his new house and turning it into a flower hall for entertaining guests. He also asked a Feng Shui master to select a good land and rebuild the yard of his new house.
