Zheng Sihan's incident caused a great uproar in the capital, and many girls from aristocratic families were severely disciplined because of this, and were not even allowed to go to temple fairs.
In the palace, the prince is learning painting from Pei Shan.
Pei Shan has a quiet temper, but speaks softly and appears to be very patient. In addition, he often played with the prince when he was at the Lu family, so the prince was very convinced of Pei Shan, the new teacher.
With Pei Shan around, Yu Deshui could go away for a while, and Pei Shan could handle all the prince's requests.
After finally waiting until the painting was finished, Zhao Jinghuan looked at Pei Shan and looked at his painting carefully, feeling a little guilty.
But Pei Shan didn't say anything, he just gave him the picture he drew.
The painting shows a very big bird, soaring in the night sky, carrying a child on its back, and sparkling fireflies. In the child's arms, there is a sleeping cat, and they keep company together.
, looks particularly happy.
Zhao Jinghuan fell in love at first sight and held her in his arms and refused to let go.
Then he said to Pei Shan: "Pei Shan, may I reward you with something?"
Pei Shan shook his head and said calmly: "No need, I don't need anything."
Zhao Jinghuan looked like he hated iron and said, "Are you stupid? If you don't want it now, you won't want it in the future."
"Besides, I heard people say..."
"Hey, come here!"
Zhao Jinghuan pulled Pei Shan over and quietly lowered his voice and said, "I heard that my foster father has someone outside."
Pei Shan frowned and said bluntly: "That's false."
Zhao Jinghuan said: "Of course I know it is false, but the question is, what if it happens in the future? Wouldn't my adoptive mother be very sad by then? And as your adoptive mother's most beloved student, shouldn't you hoard some family property?
, will you take your foster mother out to support her in the future?"
"Don't worry, I will support you secretly and I will give you money!"
Pei Shan thought deeply, not knowing whether to respond or not.
Zhao Jinghuan continued: "I will pay and you will contribute. Even if the adoptive father wants to reconcile with the adoptive mother in the future, then just reconcile. Anyway, we can take good care of the adoptive mother."
Pei Shan remained silent. Just when Zhao Jinghuan thought he couldn't make sense, suddenly Pei Shan asked, "Then what do you want to give me?"
Zhao Jinghuan's eyes lit up, okay, this guy finally got the idea!!
…
When the Zheng family's affairs were causing turmoil in the city, because the prince liked Pei Shan's teaching, he directly rewarded Pei Shan with fifty acres of fertile land, two farms, and a three-level house in the capital.
These are nothing in the prosperous capital city, but this is the first reward given by the prince after he became the lord of the East Palace. This shows in disguise that the prince likes Pei Shan very much, and Pei Shan is still very young. He is only a young man this year.
Seventeen years old.
Many aristocratic families even took up the idea of Pei Shan, speculating that Pei Shan would be the next Lu Yunhong, and that he would even have a much easier career than Lu Yunhong.
After Wang Xiu was annoyed by the matchmaker for three or four days, he couldn't bear it and closed the door to thank the guests without seeing anyone.
After Lu Yunhong returned home, he heard Qian Liangcai's reply and said to him: "If the matchmaker comes tomorrow, you will say that Pei Shan's marriage has been decided. You don't say it now because you want to wait to ask for a favor from the emperor."
Qian Liang finally understood and quickly went down to tell the concierge.
After a while, Qian Liangcai took Huang Shaoyu, who was visiting, back and went to the main hall.
Lu Yunhong received the news and came out to meet the guests. When they met, he asked, "Did something happen to the Zheng family's case?"
Huang Shaoyu said: "Uncle Zhongyong insisted that his daughter had been betrothed to Liu Qing a long time ago. The two families had already written a marriage letter and there were witnesses."
"Zheng Sihan knocked her head earlier and was not very clear-headed, so she mistakenly thought Liu Qing was you."
Lu Yunhong smiled. The result was similar to what he had thought before. Uncle Zhongyong indeed used this method to deal with the aftermath. Not to mention whether people in the capital believed it or not, the reputation of the Zheng family would be ruined just by this rumor.
Lu Yunhong said: "In case Zheng Sihan is just trying to escape guilt, please let everyone see that they became a loving couple in prison and will remain together until death."
Huang Shaoyu said: "You want me to arrest Liu Qing too?"
Lu Yunhong sneered lightly: "I have lost all my wealth and been forced to marry a crazy woman. I believe that any man who still has some ambitions can't bear it, let alone... if Liu Qing is allowed to know that Uncle Zhongyong has always been
Are you taking advantage of him?"
Huang Shaoyu smiled and said: "You are still so insidious, now Liu Qing doesn't hate the Zheng family to death? Zheng Sihan will not have a good life if she marries him."
Lu Yunhong said coldly: "Isn't this the result she dreamed of? From the day she hooked up with Liu Qing, she should have known that others would not always let her take advantage of her."
Huang Shaoyu said: "I'm afraid you won't let go, so I'll ask you what you mean first. Since you don't want to go into details, I know what to do."
Lu Yunhong said: "It's not that I don't want to dig deeper, but...the emperor doesn't want to see blood. A wanton massacre will also cause panic among the aristocratic families, and will be extremely detrimental to the prince's future succession."
"That's it. The Zheng family acquiesces to this fate. The emperor will not ask any questions, and I will continue to be a sufferer known to everyone."
"Are you still suffering?" Huang Shaoyu's mouth twitched and he was speechless for a while.
Lu Yunhong smiled and said, "Don't worry about me. People all over the capital say I am, so I am."
Huang Shaoyu stopped talking completely.
Seeing this, Lu Yunhong did not continue to tease, but solemnly said to Huang Shaoyu: "I have to ask you for something in advance."
Huang Shaoyu felt surprised that Lu Yunhong would still entrust him with something?
He immediately became interested and asked quickly: "What's the matter?"
Lu Yunhong said calmly: "I have some issues with Prince An, you know that."
Huang Shaoyu nodded, not knowing why he suddenly mentioned this matter.
But then, Lu Yunhong said again: "My father-in-law has won the trust of the emperor, and I have been reused because of it. Now even Pei Shan has been appreciated by the emperor. Our king and the Lu family can be said to be on the cusp of the storm."
"If someone impeaches me, or if I am temporarily trapped, I will trouble you to come to the house more often and advise my wife not to worry."
Huang Shaoyu frowned and asked doubtfully: "Are you concerned?"
Lu Yunhong said: "I'm just preparing for a rainy day. I'll tell you in advance. If everything goes smoothly, wouldn't I be happy?"
Huang Shaoyu was right when he thought about it. When he went to Henan, he never thought that such a big change would happen to his family because of him.
And if it weren't for Lu Yunhong and his wife, maybe he wouldn't even be able to see his uncle. Naturally, he would be so heartbroken that he would definitely have a fight with King An to the point of death.
Even now, his hatred for King An has not diminished, but... in that corruption case, he cut off King An's arm.
"Okay, don't worry. No matter what happens to your Lu family in the future, unless I die, I will definitely protect your family members in this house for you, and I will never let them get involved in the turmoil and be harmed by others.
Bullying!”
Seeing this, Lu Yunhong patted Huang Shaoyu on the shoulder and said: "Very good, I recognize you as my brother."
Huang Shaoyu: "..."?
"Why isn't he the eldest brother?"
He looked confused and even doubted whether he was younger than Lu Yunhong.
Who knew that Lu Yunhong said straightforwardly: "Although you are older than me, you don't have enough experience."
