Chapter 1,137: The Position Is neither High nor Low, Just Right!
When Shao Wanru returned home, he went directly to the study!
Chu Liuchen's study was in the attic where he lived before. It was obviously a three-story pavilion, but from the outside, it only had the second floor.
Hearing that she was coming, Xiao Xuanzi hurriedly took her to the second floor and then retreated.
Shao Wanru left Yu Jie outside the door on the second floor and followed the stairs to the upper floor. Chu Liuchen was leaning on a large chair and reading official documents.
The sunlight outside the window fell on him, reflecting his elegant face as polished as pearls. He raised his handsome eyes and saw Shao Wanru, waving to her and letting her pass.
Shao Wanru came over and was pulled by him to sit down on the chair before he spoke.
Chu Liuchen's hand fell down smoothly, holding her slender waist. As if he had no bones, he leaned over and asked lazily: "How is the matter handled?"
Shao Wanru couldn't move around for a while.
Shao Wanru realized that he was not strong enough to compete with Chu Liuchen, so he stopped struggling and said helplessly: "The matter has been settled. Let Yu Jiezhong go to the Yamen in a few days and transfer Dieyi Studio back!"
Shao Wanru had already told Chu Liuchen about Dieyi Zhai.
"Nothing happened?" Chu Liuchen raised his eyebrows and looked at Shao Wanru, who was smiling a bit enchantingly and with gleaming eyes.
"It's nothing, I just feel that Wei Dahai and his wife are short of money." Shao Wanru expressed his doubts, fluttered his long eyelashes twice, showed some hesitation, and looked at Chu Liuchen sideways, "Do you... feel Is Wei Dahai unusual?"
"It's not just unusual, it's very unusual!" Chu Liuchen smiled and threw the folds in his hand on the table. The table was full of folds. When Shao Wanru came to see them before, there were not so many. The discount is here.
The emperor really sent him a lot of information here!
"I heard that although Wei Dahai also has concubines, the backyard is generally clean and there are not so many people to support. Aunt Wei is just a nephew like him, so she has been sending money to him a lot. How can she imagine that? I want money like crazy." Shao Wanru said in confusion.
Aunt Wei is the most useful person in front of the Queen Mother, but after seeing such a thing, she can still stay safely by the Queen Mother's side. She must have a lot of bodies in her hands, and Only a junior like Wei Dahai was found with great difficulty. It can be seen that he really loves him, so why not give him money.
There aren't many people in the Wei Mansion to support, so Wei Dahai is so poor that he dares to compete with Princess Chen like her?
If we were not too short of money, we would never be able to do such a thing!
"Wei Dahai was born in poverty, and later married a young lady from the Ouyang family. His father-in-law was also a moderate official. He had a good reputation among officials before, but apart from that, there was nothing else. He was Under the leadership of his father-in-law, he started as a small official, and then became an official at neither high nor low. If it weren't for the relationship with Aunt Wei, he wouldn't even have real power!"
Chu Liuchen said nonchalantly, narrowing his eyes with a deep look, "But he is such a small official. Although he has not made much progress, he will not make mistakes. He has been an official for so many years. He has never come forward, and if his niece hadn’t been the future Princess Qingjun, no one would have paid attention to him until now!”
Because of his neither high nor low rank and his temperament of never showing off, he almost ignored Wei Dahai. If his niece was the future princess of Chu Qing
Things that caught Chu Liuchen's attention, so meeting Shao Wanru now really aroused his interest!
You don’t know if you’re not paying attention, but once you pay attention you realize that you almost missed such a big fish.
Shao Wanru didn't want to pay too much attention to Chu Liuchen's affairs. Since Chu Liuchen already knew Wei Dahai's suspicious behavior, he didn't need to worry about it next.
"I want to go to the Xingguo Hou Mansion once." Shao Wanru said softly.
"What are you going to do?" Chu Liuchen asked nonchalantly.
"The madam is back. As a granddaughter, I have to go and see her, lest she send someone over, which will make me appear to be too pretentious!" Shao Wanru said. Qing'er told her that the madam would return home in the afternoon. .
If Mrs. Ether doesn't get rid of her xinxing, some right and wrong will inevitably arise.
"She came back as soon as she came back. It's thanks to you that she came back alive and well this time. What else can she be dissatisfied with!" Chu Liuchen said unhappily. He really didn't care about the people or things in the Xingguo Hou Mansion. I don’t like it, “It will make you feel wronged if you go!”
If possible, he would like to deal with the Xingguo Hou Mansion directly, so that Shao Wanru would not always be implicated in the affairs of the Xingguo Hou Mansion.
"No matter what, she is my elder, I can't justify not going!" Shao Wanru shook his head, "With you here, I won't suffer any loss!"
She understood what Chu Liuchen meant, and the smile on the corner of her lips was soft and gentle, without the coldness, and her eyebrows were filled with autumn water.
Chu Liuchen snorted coldly, "Since I've gone, there's no need to leave any food!"
"I will leave early and come back early, but I should leave food behind." Shao Wanru thought for a while and said.
"Just say that I am waiting for you to eat!" Chu Liuchen stretched out his hand and held one of her slender hands, the bottom of his hand was warm.
"I will go and come back as soon as possible. Don't worry, nothing will happen. The Xingguo Marquis' Mansion is no longer the original Xingguo Duke's Mansion. At this time, Mrs. Tai will not think of offending me." Shao Wanru backhand lightly. He squeezed Chu Liuchen's hand gently, his eyes flickered twice, and he curved the corners of his lips.
"My second uncle wants to marry an outsider, so the first thing the wife should do when she enters the house is to deal with this matter." Shao Wanru said, "I also want to find out more about the woman named E Niang. Grandma said There is such a maid by my mother's side, but she was not married to her at the beginning, she seems to be from the Xingguo Hou Mansion."
When a woman marries into her husband's family, the closest people to her are often the maids who were married to her before. Compared with the maids from her husband's family, these maids who were married to her are more likely to have grown up with her and have a good understanding of her living habits. , of course it is better to use a familiar maid than to use a maid who knows nothing about it.
But this E Niang seemed to be her mother’s eldest maid at that time.
My grandmother said that the four maids who were married at that time were all the eldest maids around my mother. They grew up with her mother and were very loyal to her. However, everything happened to these people, and the one who did not was Xingguo. The maid prepared by the Hou Mansion.
My grandmother had not noticed this maid before, but when her mother had an accident, she and her mother were the only ones who returned. As for the specific things, the Xingguo Hou Mansion did not let her know. As for later, when her mother had an accident, her grandmother was even more concerned. I won't pay attention to an unfamiliar maid.
If it hadn't been for the current incident, no one would have imagined that this maid actually climbed into Shao Jing's bed and gave birth to a daughter who didn't exist in his previous life. Shao Wanru was really curious about this.
Why did Shao Jing not have such a concubine in his previous life, but now he has one? Could it be that his rebirth has changed many things?
But when I was reborn, if I wanted to give birth to this illegitimate daughter, she should have already been born.
From this point of view, it has nothing to do with my own rebirth!
Hesitating in his heart, Liu eyebrows frowned slightly, and he leaned back, leaning into the reassuring embrace with a faint medicinal smell. It was much less medicinal than before, but whether it was before or now, All of this made Shao Wanru feel at ease inexplicably.
He closed his eyes and spoke softly: "I always feel that this person called E Niang is not simple!"
"Since it's not simple, just get rid of it!" Chu Liuchen's approach has always been simple and crude, he took Shao Wanru's delicate body into his arms and said lightly.
She is just a maid, he has a hundred ways to kill her, so what if she is not just a maid on the surface!
"Don't take action, I will handle this kind of thing!" Shao Wanru was startled and hurriedly stretched out his hand to hold Chu Liuchen's hand, as if Chu Liuchen would really attack E Niang at this time, "She concerns me Regarding my mother, I also want to find some clues from her about the past!"
It was not easy to find such a person, and she didn't want this person named E Niang to pass by.
Such a person must know something. Even if she is devoted to Shao Jing, she has to find doubts from other aspects.
"Okay, it's up to you!" Chu Liuchen said dotingly, the softness in his eyes diluting the anger on his face.
"Then I'd better leave right away. I'll go to Xingguo Hou's Mansion early to check on some things!" Shao Wanru suddenly opened his eyes, which overflowed with a sweet smile.
The madam returned in the afternoon. She went back at this time. It was a little early, so she could be busy with her own affairs. It was impossible for this E Niang to bump into her.
How could she be willing to accept the fact that she had not benefited from the things she had planned before? No matter who was behind this, there must be something wrong, and he sent it to her door...
Seeing the cunning look in her eyes, Chu Liuchen nodded helplessly: "It's okay to go now. No more food is allowed in the evening. Just say it's what I said."
"Okay, I'll be back." Shao Wanru nodded and agreed obediently. Looking at her soft appearance, Chu Liuchen smiled and said in a very serious tone: "Don't delay me, and you won't leave any dinner!"
"I will never leave dinner, no matter what, they won't do it!"
Shao Wanru said, looking at the handsome man in front of her with watery eyes, her long eyelashes flashed twice, revealing the clear figure in her eyes. Looking at him like this, the uncomfortable depression in her heart also faded a bit.
"Concubine Lan, will you be named a high-ranking concubine?" The words blurted out. After finishing speaking, her eyes wandered uneasily for a few times. In fact, she really didn't want to know this kind of thing. When he wants to say something, he will say it naturally, she won't force him.
"He won't. This position is very good. Since you are a concubine, why bother fighting for a high position? What about a high position? Isn't it good now? Isn't this what she is pursuing, neither high nor low?" Chu Liuchen He said with a deep look in his eyes, without making it too clear or evading.
But just like this, Shao Wanru felt inexplicably distressed. He turned to the side, hugged Chu Liuchen, buried his head in his arms, and said something that was not the answer to the question: "You still have me!"
