Wishful Things

Cui Xin hurriedly ordered someone to prepare a carriage and rushed towards the Beijing Yamen.

But even though he kept urging "faster" all the way, he was so anxious that he could push the coachman down to drive the car by himself, but he had to give up because he really couldn't drive it. When he arrived at the Beijing Yamen, it was still too late up.

Inside the Beijing Yamen, Wen Shi and his mother-in-law were returning to Yin Jidong's mansion in the lobby, and there were many people eating sunflower seeds outside to watch the fun.

Cui Xin's mind was roaring, he only felt that the honor and disgrace of the entire Yong'anbo mansion was on his shoulders at this moment, completely disregarding the rules passed down, he rushed into the hall profusely in sweat.

He hurriedly said: "Master Ji, you must not listen to my madam's nonsense!"

"Who trespassed in court!"

Before Ji Dong could see who was coming, Cui Xin was held up by two government servants with water and fire sticks.

"Master Ji, it's Cui!"

Ji Dong recognized the man, and waved his hand to signal the servant to release him.

Cui Xin looked at Mrs. Wen standing there, and quickly said: "Your Majesty Fu Yin doesn't know something. Recently, my mother passed away. My wife was overwhelmed by grief, and my mind was a little out of sorts. That's why I filed a lawsuit indiscriminately. , please don’t blame me, my lord.”

Ji Dong frowned.

Why did he look at... this Yong'an Bo Shizi seems to be the one who is confused and out of his mind?

"Cui Shizi means that the house has not been stolen, and there is no such thing as a servant fleeing the house?"

What?

Cui Xin was stunned for a moment.

Why can't he understand what Mr. Ji is saying?

Wen Shi looked at him, and said in a calm tone: "Didn't your son forget your book boy Qi Lin, who stole our property seventeen or eight days ago and then disappeared without a trace?"

Cui Xin was stunned.

After a while, he said with a helpless smile to Jidong: "It's true, but Cui thought it was just a theft, so it's really not appropriate to alarm Mr. Ji. Mr. Ji is usually busy with work, how can he let Mr. Cui's house come to you?" It's such a trivial matter to bother you..."

Ji Dong also felt helpless.

I really don't want to bother him, so I can discuss it with my wife at home, okay?

It's all on the bright side, so he doesn't care?

But if this does not conform to the positive and positive image of an official, it cannot be said.

"What did Shizi Cui say? This is the official's job. Since this matter is true, I will investigate and deal with it according to the rules."

Cui Xin quickly raised his hand to salute: "Then there will be Master Lao Ji..."

After retiring, Cui Xin walked out of the government office with Wen's side by side.

The people also dispersed.

"Originally, seeing Mrs. Yong'an Bo Shizi coming to the yamen, there should be some excitement..."

Co-authoring is just missing something.

But having said that, although there are almost every day people who come to the Yamen to report to the officials because of the theft of their homes, it is rare for nobles like this to come in person.

The people walked and discussed.

A young man dressed as a servant with a medicine bag in his hand passed by. He faintly heard the words "Yong'an Bo's Mansion", and his expression changed slightly.

He slowed down, and asked a man curiously: "Dare to ask what happened to the Yong'an uncle's mansion? You want to come to the Yamen to report the crime?"

"It's nothing serious. It's said that a book boy stole something and ran away."

The entourage was even more surprised: "How can you let Mrs. Shi Zi come over in person for such a trivial matter?"

"Hey, it's not just Mrs. Shizi, Shizi Yong'an is also chasing after him... He must have lost something very valuable, who knows."

The follower's eyes sank.

It is indeed a very valuable thing lost...

It's just that the Yong'an uncle's mansion dared to report the crime?

Glancing at the carriage in the uncle's residence not far away, the entourage quickly left the crowd.

After getting into the carriage, Cui Xin's expression darkened immediately.

"What are you messing around with again!"

Wen sneered silently.

It's ridiculous for people who don't do shit to say that she is messing around.

"Naturally, we want to use the people from the government to find Qi Lin earlier. As long as Qi Lin is found, Qing'er's whereabouts will naturally be known."

"But if the government finds out that Qing'er eloped with him, wouldn't we be thieves calling for a thief, just making people laugh!"

"It's impossible for my daughter to elope with someone—" Wen said coldly.

This is the idea that Miss Xu gave her. She thought about it carefully. This is indeed the only way to achieve both ends. It will not make the matter known to the public and completely ruin Qing'er's reputation, but also allow the government to intervene to find people.

As for what happened after Qi Lin was found, it was absolutely impossible for the government to deal with this matter with great fanfare——

Mr. Ji is a good official with good sense and reason, and he also has friendship with Duke Zhenguo's son, so the follow-up matter is not difficult. As long as you do one or two up and down, there will be no rumors that should not be spread.

"you……"

Cui Xin was about to say something more, but was cut off by Wen's cold voice: "Your Majesty, you don't need to say too much, this matter will not ruin the reputation of the Yong'an Bofu. As for Qing'er, since your Majesty thinks she shouldn't come back, after we find her, we will Take her and Wei'er and leave the house."

"And leave?"

Cui Xin seemed to have heard a very funny joke.

This woman really dares to make peace with him?

Wen said with a blank face: "I have already written to discuss with my mother, and my mother has no objection."

Cui Xin's smile suddenly froze on his face.

Mother-in-law is crazy!

His face changed for a while, and he glanced at Wen's expression from the corner of his eye, seeing that her face was cold and not as weak and forbearing as usual, he couldn't help feeling nervous.

"You and I have been husband and wife for so many years, how can we say that we are reconciled and separated? Even if you don't think about your own future, you should also think about the future of your children's future marriage. If you are so angry, don't mention it in the future..."

Cui Xin suppressed his temper and said: "I also know that these days you are very sad and worried about Qing'er, why am I not? The most urgent task right now is to find Qing'er back... Don't worry, I will add more Send some people to inquire."

As he spoke, he poured a cup of tea and handed it to Wenshi.

Wen's face took it with a cold face.

After the mother-in-law died like this, the husband became sensible to the naked eye.

This is really amazing.

Elder Sister's words are indeed correct——

This disgusting man is bullying the weak and afraid of the strong, absolutely cannot give him a good face.

...

Two days later, Wen Shi sent his confidant maid to Zhen Guogong's mansion to deliver a letter to Cui Shi.

As soon as the carriage entered Qingyunfang, the maid heard some lively voices outside, so she opened the curtain to look.

I saw that it was a not so wealthy family. At this time, there were guests coming and going outside the door, as if there was some happy event.

Qingyunfang occupies a huge area, and it was the place where the dignitaries gathered in the previous dynasty. After the first emperor came to Beijing and ascended the throne, the new nobles headed by Zhen Guogong built houses and settled down here. The town government's mansion alone occupies more than half of Qingyunfang, and there are some sporadic places left and right, which are evenly distributed to a few other officials or scholars who can't be called famous.

The servant girl didn't look any further, she put down the curtain of the car.

The letter was quickly delivered to Cui Shi.

Cui sent someone to invite Xu Mingyi over.

"But something about cousin Qing has progressed?"

Good morning everyone~
