Wang Yiyuan has a slim figure, a fair face and no beard. He is middle-aged and looks energetic. He is wearing an ordinary cloth shirt and has a bearish attitude about everything.
What followed should be his wife and daughter.
Li Can took a quick glance and saw that the family of three did not look like they came from an official family. They were very simple and ordinary.
She always felt a little incredible when she looked at it. Are there really such honest officials in the world?
"I have met your two highnesses."
Wang Yiyuan walked a few steps quickly and came forward to kowtow and salute.
Zhao Gao and Li Can stood in the center, another pair of beautiful people. He could naturally recognize them as Li Can and Zhao Gao at a glance.
"I have met your two highnesses."
Behind him, Wang Yiyuan's wife and daughter also came forward and knelt down to salute.
"Master Wang, no courtesy." Zhao Zong said calmly.
"Thank you, Your Highnesses."
Wang Yiyuan kowtowed and stood up.
His wife and daughter also got up.
When she got closer, Li Can saw clearly that Wang Yiyuan's wife indeed looked like she was working hard.
She should be about the same age as her aunt, but she looks older.
As for the daughter of the Wang family, she is actually very good-looking, with snow-white skin and flawless skin. She must be very favored at home, with her head lowered and her eyebrows lowered, without the slightest hint of ostentation.
It's quite pleasing to the eye.
Li Can glanced twice and couldn't help but turn to look at Zhao Hao.
But Zhao Ji only looked at Wang Yiyuan and never looked at Wang Yiyuan's daughter.
"Brother Wang, please come in and sit down." Meng Junde greeted them with a smile.
Mrs. Sun took Li Can and introduced her: "Xin'er, this is Mr. Wang's wife."
"Your Highness, my surname is Gao." Mrs. Gao blessed Li Can.
Li Can nodded slightly.
Mrs. Sun added: "This is Mr. Wang's daughter, her name is Wang Shuyuan.
Shuyuan, don't be shy, you and Xin'er are about the same age, so we can just talk together."
"Your Highness." Wang Shuyuan stepped forward and also greeted Li Can.
Li Can nodded towards her: "Miss Wang."
"Come on, let's go in quickly." Mrs. Sun took Li Can and invited them into the side hall, then smiled and said: "Master Wang is a rare person in the world, and his wife is the only one in the backyard.
You have a child on your knees, just a daughter."
Li Can was a little surprised after hearing this. Did Wang Yiyuan, just like her uncle, not take concubines and only marry one wife?
The eldest uncle has at least two sons.
Wang Yiyuan had no sons, but he did not take any concubines.
That is really extremely rare.
The Wang family and the Meng family were indeed very familiar with each other. After sitting down, they chatted happily.
Li Can inadvertently paid attention to Wang Shuyuan.
But until after lunch, Wang Shuyuan didn't pay special attention to Zhao Gao's intention, and she didn't even glance at Zhao Gao.
Li Can couldn't help but feel that he was funny.
She must have been deceived by those girls who couldn't walk when they saw Zhao Zong before, so the girls who saw him would pay attention to whether others would be eyeing Zhao Zong.
In fact, although Zhao Zhi is good, he is not a silver coin and not everyone will like him.
Look at Wang Shuyuan, isn't she an exception?
After lunch, Zhao Zong, Meng Junde, and Wang Yiyuan went to the study to discuss official matters.
Mrs. Sun took Li Can and other female relatives to the small garden at the back.
Although the garden is small, it also has a small pavilion.
A few people had tea and snacks inside, and just chatted.
Li Can didn't talk much. He only held a cup of tea and listened to his aunt and Mr. Gao chatting about daily life, talking about the family's shortcomings and strange news from the market, which was quite interesting.
Wang Shuyuan seemed to talk less than she did, and she ate less tea and snacks. She cuddled up next to Mrs. Gao, looking very sensible and considerate.
After this situation, Li Can didn't pay much attention to her anymore.
In this way, after sitting for less than an hour, someone came from the front to send a message, saying that Wang Yiyuan had called his wife and daughter to leave, and that he had important matters to deal with when he returned.
Li Can and Sun bid farewell to Wang Yiyuan's family.
At dinner time, Zhao Zong was finally free and had dinner with Li Can.
"When you met Wang Yiyuan's family today, did you see anything suspicious?" Zhao Ge asked Li Can.
"No." Li Can shook his head: "Ms. Gao looks like she has been working hard all year round. I looked at her hands specifically, and they were indeed a little rough.
If I hadn’t worked hard all year round, my hands wouldn’t have grown like that.”
"Yeah." Zhao Ye paused his chopsticks and said, "I've also looked at Wang Yiyuan carefully, and I really can't see anything unusual."
Li Can said: "If I insist on saying it is abnormal, I think the three members of their family are dressed too simply and plainly.
Even if you are incorruptible, don't you have a monthly rule? Why do you wear such an ordinary cloth like Rob?
Could it be that I wore it specially to show you?"
"I am also suspicious of this matter." Zhao Zhen replied: "I asked my uncle, and my uncle said that Wang Yiyuan loved the people like his own son and did not want to see the people suffer.
Almost all of his monthly income was used to help those poor families.
Therefore, his wife has to do the work to maintain the family’s expenses.”
"How could there be such a good person?" Li Can thought about it and said, "Otherwise, let's send people to visit the villages in the suburbs to see if this is the case?"
She always felt that Wang Yiyuan was a little unreal.
"Yes." Zhao Ye nodded: "Shenzhou and Yangzhou are both wealthy places.
When choosing a prefect, you should really consider it carefully."
"Is there any news from Yangzhou?" Li Can remembered and asked him: "By the way, have you asked anyone to keep an eye on the Yangzhou magistrate's family?
Don't let him get the chance to send news."
Zhao Ye nodded her forehead: "You are thinking more and more thoughtfully now.
The Yangzhou magistrate indeed sent someone out and asked my people to intercept it."
"Does he really dare?" Li Can couldn't help but widen his eyes: "Has he forgotten that his son is in our hands?"
Zhao Jie thought about it and said: "He should think that these corrupt officials in Shenzhou are in the same boat, so I may not be able to take them down.
He sent the message out to leave a way out for himself."
"Yeah." Li Can nodded.
"Girl, Your Highness, Feng Qing is here." Tang Qiu came in to report.
"Let him come in." Zhao Zong ordered.
Feng Qing walked in with big strides, raised her hands and saluted: "Your Highness, girl."
"What's going on?" Li Can looked at him and asked.
"It's Aunt Lin's business." Feng Qing lowered his head and replied, "The people sent by my subordinates just came back with the news.
Aunt Lin was very unkind to Miss Xuan. During the meal, Miss Xuan dropped the rice grains on the ground and was slapped twice by Aunt Lin.
Aunt Lin even punished Miss Xuan by depriving her of food because of this matter."
"This vicious woman!" Li Can heard this and stood up angrily: "No wonder Xuan'er is so obedient and so thin at such a young age.
It turns out that this is how she treats Xuan'er!"
"She beat her child, but did she ever ask anyone to look for her uncle?" Zhao Zhi paused for a moment and asked.
Feng Qing shook his head: "No."
"Then she doesn't want to invite favors." Zhao Zhen frowned slightly and looked at Li Can: "What do you think she wants?"
Li Can forced himself to calm down, sat down again, and thought: "Does she really dislike Xuan'er from the bottom of her heart?
Is that why you torture and abuse Xuan'er like this?
Teaching Xuan'er how to dance to please her grandmother and the others, just by the way?
But why is Xuan'er also her biological child?"
She couldn't figure out why Aunt Lin did this.
"Let people keep an eye on her and see what she does next." Zhao Zong ordered Feng Qing.
Feng Qing nodded in response: "Yes."
"No." Li Can stood up again and looked at Zhao Gong: "Xuan'er is still so young, so pitiful.
Let's find a way to save her.
A few days ago, the singing girl was already very pitiful. I couldn't save her, and I still feel very uncomfortable.
Now, a child as young as Xuan'er is under our noses, so we can't ignore it."
She stepped forward, took Zhao Zong's hand, and looked at him with wet eyes: "Let's think of a way to have both ends, which is not bad and can also save Xuan'er, okay?"
Zhao Xi thought about it and said, "I can only ask my grandmother to come forward."
"How to do it?" Li Can looked at him expectantly.
"Now that we are here, the situation in Shenzhou has become more and more turbulent." Zhao Ji said slowly: "Those desperadoes can do anything.
Grandma is old. If she really goes to war, she will inevitably be hurt.
It's better to ask grandma to take Xuan'er to a temple in Yangzhou to take shelter and say it's to pray for blessings."
Li Can's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he nodded repeatedly: "This is a good method.
