Mu Siyu waited from morning to noon, and then from noon to evening, and finally saw the carriage in the palace taking Lu Yi back.
When Lu Yi got out of the car, Mu Siyu came over to greet him.
Lu Yi said to the officers and soldiers who sent him back: "Thank you very much, Commander Jin."
"You're welcome." Commander Jin said calmly, "I'll take my leave."
After the carriage in the palace disappeared, Mu Siyu looked at Lu Yi.
Lu Yi patted the back of her hand and pulled her inside.
"Brother." Lu Xuan came over. "How's it going?"
"As Mr. Wen Yi said, the emperor met with me not only to understand the people's livelihood issues in Hubei City, but also to understand the details of the Huazi shooting case. He also wanted me to cooperate with the Duke of Zhen to find out the truth."
"Then what are you going to do?" Lu Xuan asked.
"Many years have passed since the incident. Even if the Duke of Zhen wants to investigate, he may not be able to find out. Since it is the emperor's wish, of course I can only cooperate." Lu Yi said, "Tomorrow I have to go to the East Palace to see the prince. During this time, I have to feel sorry for my wife's presence.
The mansion is waiting for my news, and we will go back to Hubei City together after I have taken care of it."
"You can handle it, right?" Mu Siyu asked.
Lu Yi smiled lightly: "Don't worry. So far, the current situation is beneficial to me."
In the next few days, Lu Yi either went to see the Prince of the East Palace or to the Zhenguo Duke's Mansion.
Mu Siyu was worried at first, but soon she found that Lu Yi moved easily among these noble people, and even made friends with many noble people.
"Madam." Xia Kun helped Lu Yi enter the door.
Lu Yi was swaying as he walked, obviously drinking too much.
Mu Siyu quickly took it and said to Zi Su and Ziyuan: "Go and make some sobering soup."
"yes."
Xia Kun also smelled of alcohol. After handing Lu Yi to Mu Siyu, he retired and went back to his room to rest.
Mu Siyu wiped Lu Yi's body with a handkerchief.
Lu Yi grabbed Mu Siyu's arm and dragged her to the bed.
When Zi Su and Zi Yuan came back from making sobering soup, they were so embarrassed when they heard the noise inside that they hurriedly left.
The next day, Lu Yi felt a pain in his body, and then he felt helpless and rolled out of bed.
He woke up with pain.
Mu Siyu was seen sitting on the bed, her beautiful eyes full of anger.
Lu Yi sat up, his usually majestic and stern eyes full of confusion: "Madam, why am I sleeping on the ground?"
"I kicked it." Mu Siyu sneered.
"But I disturbed my wife?" Lu Yi looked puzzled.
"You really don't know?" Mu Siyu smiled, "Then do you want to recall it for Mr. Lu?"
Lu Yi got up, hugged the quilt and walked towards Mu Siyu, his face full of begging for mercy: "Madam, I was wrong..."
When Xia Kun came, he saw that Lu Yi hadn't come out yet, so he was waiting outside. After waiting for a long time, Lu Yi hadn't come out yet. He was wondering if Lu Yi drank too much yesterday and couldn't bear it today, but he saw Lu Yi leaving.
come out.
He looked at the nail scratches on Lu Yi's face and his eyes were full of surprise: "My lord, this is..."
"Okay, are you going to see Mr. Shang today? Let's go!" Lu Yi touched the injured area and said helplessly.
Zi Su and Zi Yuan walked in with hot water.
Mu Siyu sat in front of the dressing table and dressed up as if nothing happened.
"Madam..." Zisu said, "The scratches on your face are so obvious."
"I know." Mu Siyu gestured with the hairpin on her head. "Is there any problem?"
"Of course there is a problem. Although your Excellency is still the county magistrate and has a small official position, judging from the current situation, sooner or later he will be transferred to the capital as a capital official, and his future official position will definitely be more than this. Your Excellency has to meet so many noble people every day.
You left such obvious scratches on his face, what do others think?" Zisu said, "Doesn't this make you lose face? Madam is usually so smart, why is she so confused this time?"
"Ziyuan, do you think so too?" Mu Siyu asked.
"Madam is not an unreasonable person." Ziyuan said, "Zisu can understand the truth, how could madam not understand it? Even if madam is angry again, she will not be so irrational, so I think madam has some intentions. I saw the same thing just now, sir.
She looks indifferent, which shows that the adults don't mind. Since the adults don't mind, of course this servant, a girl, also wants to be madam."
"This slave is also looking for Madam. I'm just worried that Madam will displease you by doing this. If you don't like it, wouldn't it be easy for husband and wife to get divorced?" Zisu explained quickly.
"I know you two are good girls." Mu Siyu smeared her lipstick. "Let me ask you, how many days did our master come back drunk?"
"Five days, or six days?" Zi Su was confused.
"Every time I come back, I still smell of rouge, which shows where I went." Mu Siyu snorted coldly.
"The master only has his wife in his heart, and he will definitely not do anything to disgrace her." Zi Su explained to Mu Siyu.
"I know. I know very well whether he has done anything sorry for me." Mu Siyu said, "It's just been for a few days, and even a strong body can't stand it. In addition, his status is special and even a little embarrassing.
, the high officials in the capital may not take him seriously. They are testing him and want to know what kind of person he is. Now that he is going out with an injury, it seems that he is a strict wife. This is his weakness.
."
"Think about it, an official is under strict supervision by his own woman, and he was scratched by his own woman because he went to a place where fireworks were played. Do you think those officials will still take him seriously? Since they don't take him seriously,
In my eyes, that would be easier. He can do many things quietly without being stared at by everyone. In this capital, there are nobles everywhere, and it is better to be low-key than to attract people's jealousy. "
"My slave understands," Ziyuan said, "Madam did it on purpose, so that you can avoid a lot of trouble."
"I should be able to come back early tonight." Mu Siyu said, "Those people have been testing him for so long. They have achieved their goal and will not pester him anymore."
"This slave is so stupid to doubt Madam's intentions." Zi Su scratched her cheek and said embarrassedly.
"No, you didn't misunderstand me either. Although part of the reason was to help him, part of the reason was to vent his anger." Mu Siyu thought about the scene of Lu Yi pretending to be crazy after drinking last night, and sneered in her heart.
In the carriage, Lu Xuan looked at Lu Yi's cheek and smiled lowly.
Lu Yi looked at him: "Is it funny?"
"Sister-in-law is sister-in-law. She is the only one who can control you. But you have gone too far recently. You come home drunk every day, and you still smell of rouge and gouache. It's great that sister-in-law can tolerate you for so long." Lu
Xuan said.
"If I don't get drunk, will those people feel relieved?" Lu Yi said calmly, "You should pay more attention these days. They know you are my brother, and they will definitely ask you to find out something."
