In the evening, Shi Yuanhai came back. Before Shi Yuanhai could take a breath and rest, he was called by the eldest wife's maid. By the time Shi Jinrou got the news and came to visit his father, Shi Yuanhai had already gone to the eldest wife's place.

Shi Jin stood aside softly, and while helping Ding Zhong pack his father's luggage, he chatted with Ding Zhong "casually".

"Uncle Ding, who is Bai Dezai?"

Ding Zhong replied with a smile: "It's our Tangzhou Prefect." At this point, Ding Zhong paused, stopped what he was doing, looked at Shi Jinrou and continued: "There are rumors that Prefect Bai and Dong Da

I have a very close relationship with you, but I don’t know if it’s true or not.”

On weekdays, Ding Zhong is a taciturn person. Except for Shi Yuanhai, he almost never talks to anyone. To Shi Jinrou, unless he has no choice, he only responds and never takes the initiative to ask questions or change the topic. But today, he seemed to be interested in talking to Shi Jinrou.

Shi Jinrou reminded me of something.

Shi Jinrou smiled lightly and said: "Although the rumors in the market are not true, they are not necessarily groundless. I just don't know if this close relationship will violate the criminal laws of our court."

Ding Zhong chuckled and said casually:

"This is the case for many things, no matter how big or small. If the people don't raise the issue, the officials won't investigate it. If the people raise it, someone will naturally ask about it."

Shi Jinrou nodded and said solemnly: "Uncle Ding, I have a favor to ask of you. It is of great importance and is related to the future and destiny of our father and daughter. I don't know Uncle Ding..."

Ding Zhong also nodded, and before Shi Jinrou finished speaking, he said: "My life was saved by your parents. If you have any instructions, please just tell me."

Shi Jinrou said "hmm" and said, "Then I'll leave it to Uncle Ding. The kindness will be repaid in the future!"

"Miss, you are serious!"

…

After the two of them packed Shi Yuanhai's luggage, Shi Jinrou called Xiao Lian over and asked her to prepare some hot water to wash her father's dust.

After a while, Shi Yuanhai finally returned to Xizhuyuan from the inner house.

Looking at Shi Yuanhai's thoughtful look, Shi Jinrou asked: "Dad, are you in trouble? Or... are some of your classmates making things difficult for you?"

Shi Yuanhai was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "Xiaorou thinks too much, no one makes things difficult for me. As soon as I returned home just now, your aunt came to me and talked to me about something."

Shi Jinrou frowned. Could it be that the eldest lady wanted to strike first and had already covered up what happened yesterday?

"Your eldest aunt said that she wants you to move to Hexiang Garden, and give you two big maids, four little maids and a few rough maids. Your monthly money... will also match your age.

Just like a cousin, five taels per month." Ishihara Hai continued.

"Dad, are you not going to take me to Beijing with you?" Shi Jinrou blurted out anxiously.

Shi Yuanhai looked a little struggling and said: "Xiaorou, although my father has decided to go to Beijing to elect an official, we don't know where he will be sent. However, judging from the current situation, he will probably be sent to a remote place."

As an official, your body has always been delicate, and

Not to mention whether he can adapt to the poor life in the future, as a father, he is afraid that Xiaorou will not be able to bear the journey on this road. If he stays here, at least he will have enough food and clothing, and there will be maids and women to take care of him, even if he will suffer some injustice.
