Chapter 812 March 18

The square outside Donghua Gate was already crowded with horse-drawn carriages coming to pick up officials' wives. The bustling level was not much worse than Caishikou.

Fortunately, the most important thing in officialdom is the order of hierarchy. Although there is a lot of friction, it is not too messy.

It's just that this is not friendly to the current Rongguo Mansion. Leaving aside the solitary Dongkuaoyuan, purely based on rank order, it can only be decorated in the middle and lower sections below the fifth rank.

Worried about picking up someone by mistake, Zhou Rui deliberately pushed to the front with a few men.

As soon as I stood still, I saw a burly man walking out of Donghua Gate. If I looked closely, it wasn't Uncle Jiao, who else could it be?

Zhou Rui hurriedly came forward to greet him and bowed to him.

Seeing that it was Zhou Rui, Jiao Shun held up the 'belt' in his mourning clothes, waved his hands like he was shooing away flies: "I have something urgent, so I won't waste any time talking to you. Remember to say hello to aunt for me."

Seeing that his attitude was not very good, Zhou Rui responded repeatedly and hurriedly stepped out of the way.

Jiao Shun held his belt and headed forward, and soon found his family's carriage at the front of the third-rank official parking area.

When his figure disappeared in the car, Zhou Rui slowly withdrew his gaze and secretly sighed that things in the world are so unpredictable.

It was only five or six years ago that the other party called him Uncle Zhou when he saw him. At that time, he never imagined that he would be like today!

After Jiao Shun left, it took about a quarter of an hour before the ladies and officials came out of the palace one after another.

Seeing Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Xing, Xue Baochai, and Mrs. You from a distance, Zhou Rui greeted them again. After saying hello, he led his servants to clear the obstacles and escorted them to the carriage.

After getting in the car, Mrs. Wang rubbed her numb legs and said worriedly: "I don't know if Concubine Rong's matter has been resolved. Alas, Concubine Wu is really ridiculous and domineering. Why did she turn this fatal hot potato on her?

, and threw it to Chang Qing?"

Xue Baochai had heard many similar thoughts throughout the day. Although she was a little unbelievable that Concubine Wu would do such a ridiculous and crazy thing, she did not want to discuss this issue repeatedly with Mrs. Wang.

So I simply leaned against the carriage and closed my eyes to fall asleep.

The whole journey was silent.

When they arrived at Rongguo Mansion, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law could already feel the tense atmosphere in the mansion before they even got out of the car.

Mrs. Wang subconsciously grabbed Baochai's wrist and said in a trembling voice: "He, something will really happen to him, right?"

What he said was confusing, but Xue Baochai still understood it, but she didn't think it would be like this - Jiao Shun was an outsider after all, and whether he was unlucky or not had anything to do with the servants of the Rongguo Mansion?

Sure enough, the people who called Lin Zhixiao's house immediately heard the cause and effect of Jia Lian's arrest.

After learning that she was involved in a conspiracy case, Mrs. Wang suddenly felt that the sky was falling. If it were not for the support of Caiyun and Caixia, she would almost collapse to the ground.

Xue Baochai was also surprised. After all, it was a serious crime that could punish the whole family!

However, she still calmed down and took over the task of cross-examination, trying to find out more details.

At this time, there was another noise not far away. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law looked up and saw that Aunt Xue and Li Wan were coming over to protect Wang Xifeng.

Wang Xifeng put her hands around her round belly, gently pushed Aunt Xue away with a sad face, and said sadly: "Madam, you must find a way to save our second master!"

As he said that, he lowered his head and covered his face and started sobbing.

Aunt Xue looked extremely distressed and comforted her repeatedly, but Li Wan on the side rolled his eyes secretly. Didn't they say that he was stupid for three years after being pregnant for three years? How come this little hoof's acting skills haven't fallen off at all?!

To be honest, besides being afraid of being implicated, Wang Xifeng didn't care at all about Jia Lian's situation. The reason why she pretended to be crazy and stupid was just to show off to Aunt Xue and Mrs. Wang.

Seeing this, Mrs. Wang hurriedly took two steps forward to support her, and said comfortingly: "Don't be anxious, don't be anxious, I will send someone to Zijin Street to ask Chang Qing to come over and help me find a way to rescue Brother Lian!"

She was quite confident about this. Although Concubine Wu acted randomly in giving Concubine Rong to Jiao Shun, it also confirmed Concubine Wu's reliance on Jiao Shun.

Xue Baochai listened from behind and couldn't help shaking his head secretly. She had only been married for less than half a year, and the Rongguo Mansion had already asked Jiao Shun for help more than three or five times!

Such a large Rongguo Mansion seems to be parasitic on Jiao Shun. Without Jiao Shun, nothing can be done or accomplished.

While slandering her, Baochai couldn't help but remind her: "Brother Jiao should still be on duty in the palace, right?"

"this……"

Mrs. Wang was stunned and was frowning in confusion. Zhou Rui came over to report: "Madam, don't worry, I saw Uncle Jiao coming out of the palace and getting on the Jiao family's carriage. He must have arrived home by this time."

Mrs. Wang breathed a sigh of relief and ordered him to hurry up and fetch Jiao Shun.

At this time, Li Wan handed over a letter from home to Mrs. Wang to read. Mrs. Wang took it in her hand without reading it - mainly because she couldn't understand it - and asked directly: "What is written in it?"

"It's a letter sent home by the master."

Li Wan explained: "I heard the news of His Majesty's death, so I wrote a letter to inquire about the details. I also asked my wife to summarize the latest developments in the DPRK and write back to let me know."

"Hmph~"

When Mrs. Wang heard that it was for such a thing, she snorted coldly and was about to let Li Wan take care of it. Suddenly something occurred to her, so she said disdainfully: "Don't he want to know what happened in the capital? Why don't you just let Brother Lian do it?"

Write down the matter and send it back to him!"

Originally, for this kind of matter, we should have waited for the regulations to be dealt with before writing to Nanbian'er, so as to avoid Jia Zhengqian being too anxious and unable to do anything, and causing trouble again.

But what Mrs. Wang is thinking now is: I am worried every day, so why can he hide in Jinling and relax?

…………

the other side.

Jiao Shun did not go home, but went to Su Zhai on Taohua Lane first.

After entering the room, without saying a word, he first closed the curtains, then shook off the quilt on the bed, and began to hurriedly undress and take off his belt.

When Lin Daiyu saw this, she spat, blushed and locked the door. When she turned around, she saw that Jiao Shun's upper body had been completely buried in the quilt.

This enemy~

Even if we haven’t seen each other for a long time, we shouldn’t be so anxious, right?

Lin Daiyu thought like this, but a smile appeared on her lips unconsciously.

But at this moment, Jiao Shun suddenly broke free from the quilt, and then quickly rolled the quilt into a ball with his hands and feet.

"What are you doing?"

Lin Daiyu took half a step back cautiously, just thinking that he was going to play some new trick.

"The things in here cannot be seen in the light!"

Jiao Shun pointed to the balled up quilt and said, "Let's find a safe place to hide later - remember, don't tell anyone!"

Only then did Lin Daiyu realize that she had misunderstood. She rolled her eyes at Jiao Shun in embarrassment and said angrily, "What's this mess? Could it be that you came out of the palace with a belt edict?"

"Haha, even though they are worn around the waist and brought out, this thing is much easier to use than the belt order!" Jiao Shun said, quickly put on his clothes again, and said softly: "I can't stay here for a long time.

, otherwise you may be implicated."

After a pause, he added: "If there is no news from me in the future, or if I am caught or killed, you should hand this thing to Chen Wansan, the inspector of the Ministry of Industry's Department of Affairs. When he gets there..."

"What happened?!"

Lin Daiyu finally understood the seriousness of the matter at this time, stepped forward and grabbed Jiao Shun's sleeve and asked: "Then King Zhongshun was arrested, wasn't he? You have just made a great contribution, who would target you at this time?"

"We can't say yet."

As he spoke, Jiao Shun picked up the bundle of quilts and urged: "As long as there is no problem with this thing, not only will I not die, but I will probably continue to advance step by step!"

Sister Lin walked over, silently hugged Jiao Shun's waist from behind, and whispered: "How can you get promoted step by step? I just want you to be safe."

"Whether I am safe or not depends entirely on you."

Jiao Shun said, taking Lin Daiyu's hand and grabbing the quilt.

Lin Daiyu nodded solemnly, and found a suitable place with him, hiding the quilt and the film together.

The two hugged each other again and said goodbye for a long time, before Jiao Shun went back home.

After returning home, I immediately heard that Rongguo Mansion had invited me.

Jiao Shun knew that this must be about Jia Lian's arrest, so he was not too anxious. On the contrary, Shi Xiangyun was worried and said anxiously: "Master, you'd better go over and have a look. No matter what, we can't let the child in Sister Feng's belly

I lost my father as soon as I was born!”

"You can rest assured!"

When Jiao Shun heard this, he immediately patted his chest and promised: "I can swear to God, as long as I, Mr. Jiao, are here, I will never let that child become a miserable child without a father!"
