At night, Liu Jing was playing with his son in the back hall. The little guy was almost four months old and was sucking in sleepy, but tonight he was very excited, naughty and lively, and was amused by Liu Jing. At this time, Tao Zhan walked in with a bowl of ginseng tea. She was also extremely relieved when she saw that her son and husband were having fun.

However, at this moment, she felt a little worried. Just now, the sister-in-law found her and told her that her brother Tao Zheng was suspended and implicitly begged her to help her plead for love. This surprised Tao Zhan a little. It was not that the brother was suspended, but that the brother was charged with visiting prostitutes and was inappropriate. If this was also considered a crime, then most officials in Jingzhou should be suspended.

But it was just a bit strange that Tao Zhan felt something was wrong. She decided to find an opportunity to ask her husband privately.

Tao Zhan put down the tea bowl, patted his son's little butt, and picked him up, "It's time for Xiaohu'er to go to bed!"

Liu Zhi suddenly cried and made a fuss and wanted to continue playing with his father, but Tao Zhan ignored him and handed him over to the wet nurse. Perhaps he was really tired. Liu Zhi only cried for a few times and fell asleep in the wet nurse's arms. The wet nurse carried him out.

Liu Jing leaned against the couch and played with his son for more than half an hour. He was a little tired. Tao Zhan touched his forehead and said softly: "Dahu'er should go to bed!"

Liu Jing held his wife's white and delicate hand and smiled and said, "It's time to go to bed, go to bed with her."

Tao Zhan's face turned slightly red, he broke free from his hand and brought him the ginseng tea, "Drink it first!"

Liu Jing drank the ginseng tea and Tao Zhan was happy and took her husband's hand and walked out of the study quickly.

In the dormitory, the two of them hugged each other. Tao Zhan curled up in her husband's arms like a cat, gasping for a low breath. Liu Jing gently stroked his wife's hair. He also wanted to use this opportunity to tell his wife about the Tao family, but he didn't know how to speak.

"What do you want to say?" Tao Zhan felt that her husband had something to say, and she couldn't help but look up at her husband's gaze.

Liu Jing kissed his wife's bright forehead and smiled and said, "Is anyone in the Tao family looking for you today?"

"That's right, I'll ask you!"

Tao Zhan pushed Liu Jing and smiled, and said coquettishly: "Why did you dismiss my brother from office? What does it mean to visit prostitutes? It's not a good idea. Are there few you officials who go to **** to drink?"

Liu Jing smiled slightly, "It's just a temporary suspension, and it's not dismissed. You don't have to worry, my wife."

"I didn't blow the wind beside me. I just felt a little strange. My father said that Jingzhou has never been dismissed from office because of this problem. Why did my brother meet me?"

"Is the father-in-law here today?"

"No, it was my sister-in-law who came to me. She said that the family was already in chaos and my father was very worried."

"What about grandfather? What is his attitude?" Liu Jing asked with a smile again.

Tao Zhan thought for a while and said, "I guess he doesn't know about this at all."

"If you have time, go back and talk to your grandfather. Now the people in Wuchang have a lot of opinions about the Tao family and want to give others a way out."

Tao Zhan didn't expect the problem to be so serious, his eyes were filled with surprise, "Is the Tao family already at the point where they don't give others a way to live?"

"I don't know much about the specific situation. If someone has filed a complaint directly to me today."

Liu Jing told Tao Zhan about the complaint from the boat owner. Tao Zhan felt a little heavy. She didn't expect the Tao family to be so short-sighted. She wanted to go to the Tao family to talk to him.

The next morning, Liu Jing went out early to the military camp outside the city. Tao Zhan cleaned up a little and went out to go back to his parents' home.

The old Tao Mansion is located in Chaisang. Wuchang was originally just a part of its business, but as Chaisang's status gradually became marginalized in recent years, the Tao family's focus gradually moved to Wuchang.

A large mansion covering an area of ​​30 acres was built in the northeast corner of Wuchang County. In addition, there is also a manor covering an area of ​​more than 200 acres outside the East City of Wuchang. Today, where Tao Zhan is going, it is the manor outside the city.

Half an hour later, dozens of personal guards guarding Tao Zhan's carriage slowly stopped at the door of the manor. Someone had already reported the news in advance. Dozens of female relatives from the Tao family came to greet the door. When the carriage stopped, the maid helped Tao Zhan out of the carriage, followed the wet nurse behind, holding Liu Zhi in her arms.

The female family rushed up together, and surrounded Tao Zhan and asked about his well-being. Tao Zhan's aunt had already carried the child over, and the female family members' attention turned to the child again, and they were amused around the child.

At this time, Tao Zheng's wife Yu stepped forward and pulled Tao Zhan aside, whispered: "A sister was unfortunately here. My father-in-law went to the city early in the morning, but your elder brother is here, do you want to see him?"

Tao Zhan pondered for a moment and said, "I want to go and see my grandfather first, why don't you ask my sister-in-law to ask my brother to come and see my grandfather!"

Yu nodded and hurried back to the manor. Tao Zhan joked with everyone again, and then took the child into the manor.

In the past two years, Tao Lie's health has been getting worse and worse. He has basically stopped in the Tao family's affairs. He spends most of his time every day in his own yard, likes to sit alone, recall his life, and quietly wait for the last moment to come.

Although his body was weak and his eyes were not very good, Tao Lie still had clear thoughts and could hear footsteps outside the house. At this time, running footsteps came from outside his room, and a maid panted at the door and reported: "Old man, Mrs. Zhou Mu is here."

Tao Lie was stunned at first and immediately laughed. It was his most precious granddaughter Zhan'er who came. He hurriedly said, "Please sit down for a while, I'll come out immediately."

He struggled to stand up, and the maid hurriedly stepped forward to help him up. Then Tao Lie walked slowly towards the outer hall with a crutch.

In the outer hall, Tao Zhan had already met his brother Tao Zheng. Tao Zheng was quite depressed and lowered his head and said nothing. He was really dissatisfied. In this battle of Red Cliff, a large amount of supplies were transported to Red Cliff, and militia requisitions and security maintenance. He was busy from morning to night every day, and even dreamed of doing business at night.

Even if he had no credit, he would have worked hard, but he never expected that he would suspend him from his job with an impeachment letter, and he was also accused of visiting a prostitute and being inappropriate. This made him inexplicably.

Tao Zhan sat opposite him and looked at his brother quietly. She hadn't seen him for almost a year. Seeing that he became dark and thin, it was obvious that his usual hard work was actually the same with his husband. A big battle brought great pressure to everyone.

But she doesn't want her brother to become so depressed. Even if she encounters setbacks, she hopes that her brother can face them actively.

"This is actually just a small matter. Why is my brother full of worries?"

"A small thing!"

Tao Zheng sneered: "Of course it's a small matter in your opinion, but for me, it's a big matter. In the past few decades, which official in Jingzhou has never been to **** to drink, but it's a crime when he comes to me? I'm not convinced!"

Tao Zhan sighed, "Brother is almost thirty years old, why are he still as angry as a child? Is it true that my brother really has no handle, such as using power for his family for personal gain, or something like that, isn't there really?"

Tao Zheng lowered his head and said nothing. He also understood in his heart, how could it be that there was no?

．

．

My real charge is to use power for personal gain?

Tao Zhan looked at him and said, "You can't deny it, right! You don't think about why you don't use other charges, but this is not accused of being unresolved. Why don't you directly dismiss your official position and just temporarily suspend your post?"

The so-called authorities were confused. Tao Zheng just didn't think about it because he was angry. Now with his sister's reminder, he finally got a little reminiscent.

More importantly, my sister is Mrs. Zhou Mu. Since she said that, she must have had some insider information. When she contacted her sister to come to Tao’s family today, Tao Zheng felt a sudden enlightenment in her heart, and her originally depressed mood gradually began to improve.

Tao Zheng was about to ask again, but at this time, the two little maids helped the old man Tao Lie and walked into the inner hall, "Is it my baby granddaughter here?" Tao Lie asked with a smile.

Tao Zhan quickly stood up, took the child from his aunt next to him, and smiled and said, "Not only your granddaughter is here, but your little grandson is here too."

Tao Lie's eyes narrowed into a slit, and he walked up to pinch Liu Zheng's pink little hand, "This is the first time I have seen this little guy, haha! Ignore me."

Liu Zhi was lowering his head and concentrating on playing with his little feet, without any thoughts on the oldest elder. Tao Lie touched his head lovingly, putting a string of bracelets on his wrist, and putting on it for the child.

Tao Zhan was startled and hurriedly pushed him away, "Grandfather, no! No!"

Tao Zheng next to him was also a little stunned. He knew that his grandfather's bracelet was extremely precious. He was once the beloved thing of Emperor Guangwu. He had been hidden deep in the palace. It consisted of nine diamonds of four colors, like pigeon eggs, called diamond treasure chains, which could eliminate evil and avoid disasters. In the first year of Chuping, the Tao family bought 30,000 taels of gold from Dong Zhuo.

This bracelet can be said to be the heirloom of the Tao family. It is only for the head of the family to wear, but I didn't expect that my grandfather would give the bracelet to his grandson. Although this was Liu Jing's son, Tao Zheng still felt an indescribable shock in his heart.

Tao Lie's face sank and he forced him to Tao Zhan, "This is a gift for my honorary grandson, what's wrong?"

Of course, Tao Zhan would not ask for the Tao family's heirloom treasure, but she couldn't refuse, so she had to think to herself that she would return it to her father if she had the chance in the future.

She had to accept it first, "Thank you grandfather!"

"That's right!"

Tao Lie waved his hand and asked his granddaughter to sit down, but Tao Zheng didn't dare to sit. He stood beside him. Tao Lie smiled and said to Tao Zhan in a gentle tone: "I know you are not here specifically to see me. If you have anything, just talk first! While I am still awake now."

Tao Zhan also smiled and said, "Of course my granddaughter is visiting my grandfather. There is indeed a small thing, I want my grandfather to know."

Tao Lie didn't say anything. He listened attentively to his granddaughter. Although he was old, his thinking was clear. He knew that there must be a reason for Tao Zhan to come at this time.

Tao Zhan looked at Tao Zheng again and said, "Brother, let's talk first! What happened yesterday?"

Tao Lie was stunned. Is this matter related to Zheng'er? Although Tao Zheng was Tao Sheng's second son, because his eldest son died of illness as a child, Tao Zheng was actually the eldest grandson, and he was the only person in politics in the Tao family now. Tao Lie attaches great importance to him.
