Chapter 18 Looks a lot like Mr. Chief Assistant

Wei Yunzhu is sick. She got sick from fright.

Anyone who looked up and saw two corpses with their mouths cut hanging under the beams would be frightened to the point of losing their souls.

However, for three days in a row, all kinds of ginseng and snow lotus were seen entering, but Pei Ji was nowhere to be seen.

The sun was good today, and Wei Yunzhu felt a little energetic. She was wrapped in a thick fox fur cloak and half leaned against the imperial concubine in the pavilion to bask in the sun.

In the corridor, there were several maids discussing in private.

"Have you heard? The King of Yue was furious. It is said that the relationship with the Chief Assistant suddenly became tense."

"Yes, I heard that there was a quarrel between the two military camps yesterday, and they almost came to war. Chang'an City is really not peaceful now."

"No wonder the Chief Assistant has not come back these days. I'm afraid he is very worried."

…

Wei Yunzhu guessed that Pei Ji must be in trouble. After all, the two people who were hanged yesterday had a close relationship with the King of Yue.

She flipped through the pages of the book and lost interest when she saw Nian Shuang bowing and walking in.

She presented an exquisite invitation: "Girl, the invitation was sent from Fengfu this morning."

Wei Yunzhu lazily took it and looked at a line of beautiful fonts inside: Sister, we will meet during the Flower Festival.

Seeing that the signature was Feng Wei, Wei Yunzhu was actually a little startled, because no matter what she said, she should invite Pei Ji, so why would she invite her, an outsider?

She was too lazy to give in and was about to throw away the invitation.

But suddenly, there was a burst of noise and the sound of piles being collided.

I saw Rong Qiao running over in a hurry: "Girl, something happened outside!"

Outside the gate of Pei's residence, many ladies and ladies gathered.

They looked at the solid black dog blood splashed on the door of the house with arrogant expressions, and their intention of crusading was obvious.

Today, the aristocratic family headed by the Gu family and the Pei Party are equally in power in the government.

A few days ago, because of the debt owed to the treasury, the family was hit hard, and it can be said that they hated Pei Ji so much.

In the court hall this morning, the Yue Wang faction had a strong tendency to fall out with Pei's party, which was in line with the wishes of the aristocratic family.

After Mrs. Gu's reminder, everyone's eyes naturally fell on this outer house.

Pei Ji has always been profit-oriented and has never done business at a loss. This time he was so stupid as to offend the king of Yue for a small concubine. It is really unbelievable.

They were naturally curious as to what kind of monster this woman in the house was, which made even the chief assistant, who was heartbroken, stumble.

After Mrs. Gu's push, everyone shared their hatred today and blamed Wei Yunzhu for all their old and new anger.

After all, she made a fool of herself and it was Pei Ji who was smeared.

After hearing what Rong Qiao said about what was going on outside, Wei Yunzhu seemed very calm.

Even Nian Shuang was a little surprised. Is this really the soft-tempered, crying, coquettish, and inexperienced little princess?

In fact, Wei Yunzhu already knew what the ladies and ladies in Yong'an Lane were thinking. It was impossible that those harsh words could not reach her ears.

In the past, she was a princess, and everyone she met was friendly. Now, she is just an orphan, and she has to consider how to win a glimmer of life for her relatives under the fangs of that cruel lone wolf.

The noise outside the door intensified, and there were even sounds of banging on the door.

"Nian Shuang, follow me out for a look." Wei Yunzhu stood up and was about to walk forward.

"Girl, it's just unwarranted gossip. We don't care. Those people find it boring and will leave after a while."

Nian Shuang really couldn't bear to ask the little princess to bear those rumors. She was sad to hear those words, let alone the princess.

"Since they are all rumors, there is nothing to be afraid of." Wei Yunzhu gave Nian Shuang a comforting smile and picked up the curtain hat.

Outside the gate, in addition to the ladies and young ladies, their maids and servants were standing in a dark place, all vying to poke their heads in to see what kind of woman she was, so much so that the chief minister would not hesitate to get off his horse to keep her sweetheart in the golden house.

The moment Wei Yunzhu stepped out, everyone was silent.

Three-quarters of peach blossoms and plums, seven-cents of hibiscus water, charming and innocent, naturally sultry. Even if her face is covered with a curtain, it is not difficult to imagine what a beauty she is that makes people's hearts sway.

"You don't even greet people when you see them. Sure enough, they came from the Goulan tile roof..."

"Sure enough, at first glance, he looks like a foxy and skinny guy, but he actually dares to live in Yong'an Lane openly. What a joke!" These words were a bit sour.

This was followed by scornful sounds from all around, as if Wei Yunzhu had committed some huge crime.

"The First Assistant's wife is nothing more than this. I don't know what dirty tricks he used to seduce people. He actually asked the unmarried husband to pamper her as a wife. It is against etiquette and corrupts the style."

The woman who spoke was Mrs. Gu’s daughter, Gu Xiaolan.

Mrs. Gu glanced around imperceptibly. The fire was almost gone, and it was time for her to take the stage.

She suddenly turned cold and spoke harshly: "Xiaolan, what are you talking about? How can you say such a thing for no reason!"

Gu Xiaolan has always been favored lawlessly: "Isn't it?"

Mrs. Gu shook her head helplessly, and then spoke earnestly to everyone, as if she had a Bodhisattva heart: "Why should a woman embarrass a woman? There is only a little girl on her side, how can she be so sarcastic?"

She looked at Wei Yunzhu's face, kind and kind: "Girl, please go in quickly and I will explain to everyone."

She looked like a savior, as if she had not gathered these people.

The ladies who came here at her instigation were all surprised. What kind of song was this? It was so upright and upright, and it was too awkward.

But no one dared to say anything openly. After all, the Gu family was not something ordinary people could afford to offend.

"Everyone, please come back. I will only say this once."

"As for those rumors, they should be kept to the wise."

Wei Yunzhu, who had been looking at these people coldly, said, after all, they don't regard the people at the bottom as human beings.

Looking at the frail woman in front of them, the words she spoke were inexplicably a bit majestic, and everyone was subconsciously stunned at first.

But the next moment, a maid accompanying the madam couldn't help but smacked her lips: "A first-term foreign minister is worthy of talking to our master like this!"

Indeed, she doesn't deserve it.

Thinking of this, a lady with a very sarcastic tone spoke up: "It's just a thin horse with a hook on the fence. I feel bad just looking at it."

"Sure enough, even though I was born in a poor family, I just can't change my previous poor habits and like the same despicable things."

Pei Ji's most secretive pain point was his humble background, which caused these wealthy families who thought they were superior to others to look down on him from the bottom of their hearts.

Wei Yunzhu felt inexplicably angry. It had nothing to do with love, but she felt that a person's origin should not be related to the pillar of shame.

Her eyes suddenly turned cold, and her voice was sharp: "In the three hundred years of the Great Zhou Dynasty, how many ministers and generals of the auxiliary country were born from common people. Madam, do you think this family should be superior to others?"

"I would like to ask, which one is nobler: a person who does not care about others in his position and only cares about pleasure, or a person who comes from a sinful background and devotes himself to the prosperity of the country and works hard?"

At least, Pei Ji was not the lackey of the King of Yue, Wei Yunzhu was sure of this.

The words were said so loudly that everyone present was speechless and indeed could not answer. They had this deep-rooted class concept in their bones and were already terminally ill.

Gu Xiaolan sneered. The chief minister was most taboo about others mentioning his origin. This woman actually talked about his origin and criminal record in front of the dignitaries of the court. She really didn't want to live.

The chief assistant will definitely kill her if he finds out.

The lady had nothing to say, she could only cough a few times in embarrassment, and then became angry: "Bold maid! Do you know who I am? What treasonous words are you saying to me again!"

Wei Yunzhu smiled coldly and ignored it.

"Today, the Chief Assistant is not here, so I will not comment on your behavior for now, but if you push it too far, I will definitely not be easy to bully."

"It's really boring. If that's the case, why not go to Wangchun Tower and listen to music? Okay, let's go."

No one is aware of the iron fist of Lord Chief Assistant, who offended the poisonous snake, but those who did not end well, so they all left with excuses.

Mrs. Gu smiled warmly: "I just said, girl, you have extraordinary bearing, how could you come from that hook-and-rail tile roof?"

"Don't listen to them."

Wei Yunzhu chuckled lightly but said nothing.

Mrs. Gu actually had a lot of contempt in her heart, but the outer room was such a big show!

Today, she single-handedly encouraged these powerful people to come and cause trouble. In fact, she was trying to save Wei Yunzhu from the siege and make this fool appreciate her.

The reason was that the Yue King's party was writing articles in the court and waging a campaign against Pei's party, and Pei's party also fought back.

This is a good opportunity for fishermen to make a profit, but Mrs. Gu has always been vigilant. She knows that if the King of Yue Party is not eliminated, the aristocratic family will never have a chance to breathe, so it is the best policy to show goodwill to the Pei Party.

After getting rid of the King of Yue Party and then dealing a heavy blow to the severely injured Pei Party, the Gu family's wishful thinking was very successful.

"Since everyone has dispersed, please ask Madam to come back too."

Wei Yunzhu softly gave the order to expel the guests.

"Girl, I actually came here today with no ill intentions, but I wanted to apologize to you. I was confused before."

"Also, I would like to invite the girl to come to the house for a reunion during the Spring Festival."

It’s the Flower Festival again, and it looks like it will be extremely lively that day.

Wei Yunzhu said softly: "Thank you, Madam, for your kindness, but I have to ask the Chief Assistant for instructions on this matter. I hope Madam will be considerate."

Seeing her lowered eyebrows, Mrs. Gu was very satisfied. She was a little smug: "That's natural."

After all, in her heart, Wei Yunzhu is just a dog that can wag its tail at her if she gives some favors.

When Nian Shuang helped his princess back to the house, he suddenly felt that she looked like a person just now.

"Girl, when you spoke just now, you looked very much like Mr. Chief Assistant."

Wei Yunzhu was stunned after hearing this. In fact, she also felt the same way. She was no longer the noble Princess Yun'an, but an orphan. Wei Yunzhu actually dared to say those words that challenged the hierarchy of the powerful.

Could it be that after staying with that person for a long time, he became a little crazy?
