At night, Mu Siyu came behind Lu Yi and pressed his shoulder.
Lu Yi was still reading official documents, but when he saw this, he relaxed and closed his eyes to enjoy this benefit.
"Shuyu came back and said that he has a big order. If he does it well, he can make a fortune. But I'm worried. I always feel like I'm trying to gain skin from a tiger, so I want to ask you."
"It can be done." Lu Yi said.
"I haven't said what the list is yet."
"Is it related to King Zhong?"
"How do you know?"
"With your temperament, if you say something like 'seek the skin of a tiger', it will definitely make you very worried and scared. So far, the only one who has made you so nervous is King Zhong. Furthermore, it is not a secret that King Zhong wants to build a separate courtyard.
, the wealthy gentry from all over the country are vying to please him, how could I not know as the county magistrate of Hubei City? "
"I don't have a good impression of Suzhou City, and I don't have a good impression of King Zhong. If King Zhong wants to build a separate courtyard, it must be a big project. If it can be won, it will be a considerable amount of income. But compared to the money, I
I hope everyone is safe and well, I really don’t want to take risks.”
"I have a connection with Prince Zhong." Lu Yi said, "He can use me now and won't embarrass you."
"Are you doing things for him? People like him..."
Lu Yi took her hand and pulled her into his arms.
She sat on his lap and hugged his neck, her palm-sized face full of displeasure.
"You know that I'm afraid of him, but you still want to be so involved with him. Is that the prince, or the prince who was expelled from the capital? Are you not afraid of being implicated?"
"Prince Zhong has no capital to compete. No one takes him seriously, including Mr. Jiang here." Lu Yi said, "Do you know who Mr. Jiang belongs to?"
Mu Siyu shook her head.
"The Holy Emperor is old now, and the Crown Prince is in his prime. However, the Crown Prince is indecisive and is not an ideal prince. Mr. Jiang's second daughter married King Yong, so he belongs to King Yong."
"Why are you telling me this? I don't understand the affairs of the court."
"It doesn't matter if you don't understand. I just want to talk to you." Lu Yi pecked her lips. "If I were an ordinary woman, I would naturally not say these boring words, but you are not an ordinary woman."
"Then when you become the county magistrate, will King Zhong help you, or will Mr. Jiang help you?"
"Mr. Jiang." Lu Yi said, "He needs me to do something for him. If I become the county magistrate, I can do more for him."
"His granddaughter treats you differently. If he wants to use you, he should let his granddaughter marry you to win people's hearts."
Lu Yi smiled lightly: "No. If I can't resist the temptation, Lian Lianfa's wife can be abandoned. With his suspicious character, I'm afraid I won't be able to use it. So, as long as I don't want to marry, he won't force me to marry him."
.”
After getting the letter from Lu Yi, when Zheng Shuyu came to her again to ask about the matter, she agreed directly.
"Great." Zheng Shuyu was obviously very happy with the result. "Although I thought that if you didn't agree, I would probably not accept the order, but if you really agreed, I would still be very happy. That's money! If you can make it,
Now, not only you and me, but also the guys we hired can live a good life."
"Do you think Jiang Zhong and the others can complete such a big list?"
"Definitely not. If you take this order, you have to take responsibility for it yourself."
"Okay! I get it."
"What's wrong? Are you reluctant to leave Master Lu?"
"It's hard to let go, but Suzhou City is not far from here. If you want to come back, you can still come back!"
Zheng Shuyu wants to go back to visit his mother's grave.
Mu Siyu accompanied her to buy things for visiting the grave, and followed her to the Zheng family's ancestral graveyard.
"How could this happen?" Zheng Shuyu's expression changed drastically as he saw the original tomb disappeared.
"Then you have to ask your father."
Zheng Shuyu turned around and strode away.
When they arrived at the Zheng family, the servants of the Zheng family did not allow Zheng Shuyu to enter.
"I want to see my father." Zheng Shuyu said, "It's okay if you don't let me in. Call Mr. Zheng out. I'll see him if I have something to do."
"The second master is not here."
"Then where is he?"
"Sister..." A soft voice sounded.
Then Zheng Xinyue walked in from outside.
"I thought I saw it wrong, but it turns out she is really my sister. What happened to my sister? Although she has broken away from the Zheng family, but coming to the door of the Zheng family and making noise like this really chills the hearts of us old relatives."
"Since you are here, I might as well ask you." Zheng Shuyu looked at Zheng Xinyue: "Where is my mother's grave?"
"So that's why." Zheng Xinyue smiled lightly: "Grandma said you were unfilial. Your mother gave birth to an unfilial child and was not qualified to stay in the Zheng family's ancestral grave, so she was thrown into a mass grave."
"What?" Zheng Shuyu almost fell out of breath and swayed.
"Miss." Qiu Shuang supported her.
Mu Siyu said calmly: "Master Zheng second agreed?"
"Why doesn't the second uncle agree? His concubine is pregnant with a child for him, and it looks like it's a boy!" Zheng Xinyue's eyes flashed with malice.
"Zheng Xinyue, I will find out. If you dare to lie to me, I will not let you go." Zheng Shuyu grabbed Qiu Shuang's arm: "Let's go."
Mu Siyu turned back and glanced at Zheng Xinyue: "Miss Zheng, the Zheng family is so heartless and unjust, there will always be retribution, let's wait and see!"
"Mrs. Lu, I know your husband is the county magistrate, but offending our Zheng family will not do your husband any good. You'd better be smarter!" Zheng Xinyue walked into the door.
Zheng Shuyu was irritated and went back to Lu Yuan to calm down.
Mu Siyu sent several servants out to inquire about the news.
The Zheng family dug the grave, so it was easy to find out. As expected, it didn't take long for the servants to bring back the news.
"So, he really threw my mother's body into a mass grave?" Zheng Shuyu asked, grabbing the stake next to him.
"The mass graves were unattended before, but after the master took office, he also made some adjustments to the mass graves. Now there are people guarding them. Maybe the person guarding them has seen Mrs. Zheng's body," the servant said.
"Really?" Zheng Shuyu asked anxiously.
"yes."
Mu Siyu was worried and continued to accompany Zheng Shuyu to the mass grave.
When looking at the neat graves, those who followed them let out a sigh of relief.
The person looking after the mass grave saw so many people coming and came over to ask what happened. Zheng Shuyu explained the reason, and the person took her to the tomb of Mrs. Zheng Er. The name on the tombstone was also Mrs. Zheng Er.
"Originally I didn't know whose body it was, but an old servant of the Zheng family said it belonged to the second wife of their family, and he even spent money to carve a tombstone."
"It seems that the Zheng family is not all ruthless people. Loyal servants are more reliable than those so-called family members." Mu Siyu said: "Your mother is not alone here. Isn't this better than the cold ancient tomb of the Zheng family?"
Zheng Shuyu looked at his mother's tombstone and said, "Siyu, I must climb up and make the Zheng family regret the harm they did to me today."
