Episode 61
Gu Tingye was very unhappy when he saw the cushion embroidered with flowers. When he heard that it was made by Xiao Tao, he immediately threw it to a stone.After the sedan had only taken a few steps, Gu Tingye took back the mat from Shitou's hand, which Sheng Minglan asked Xiao Tao to embroider for him.Zhao Ceying asked Zhao Zongquan to order a thorough investigation of the salt affairs, but the ministers ignored him. Instead, they asked Zhao Zongquan about Shu Wang first, and Yushitai even ridiculed Han Zhang.Zhao Zongquan was very angry. Even if he personally patrolled the salt, he still had to clear up this account so that the people of the world could eat.Zhao Ceying invited himself to go, and Zhao Zongquan appointed Shen Congxing as his deputy and Sheng Changbai to assist.
Mr. Shen, Mr. Shen's father, asked to see Zhao Zongquan. Zhao Zongquan knew that he was here to make amends for Qi Heng.Gu Tingye and Sheng Minglan complained about Qi Guogong's vision in choosing his in-laws, deliberately saying that Qi Heng would have a bright future in the future, and the clothes in Sheng Minglan's hands almost fell off.Gu Tingye then said in a weird way that everyone said that Mrs. Shen was a good wife, and that Sheng Minglan had no vision.Sheng Minglan was angry, scolded him and was about to leave. Gu Tingye quickly dragged him back with injuries. He liked Sheng Minglan's way of letting go of his nature.
Zhao Ceying and Shen Congxing set out tomorrow, but suddenly someone read a book about Shen Congxing, saying that he had formed a party for personal gain, indulged his family, and many other crimes. Zhao Zongquan had no choice but to order a thorough investigation.Xiao Shen was immediately frightened and came to Sheng Minglan to complain. The charges were all unfounded. It was just that the Zou family borrowed loan money in the name of his nephew. I heard that there was a man who couldn't afford to hang himself and wipe his neck.Gu Tingye asked Xiao Shen to go back and wait for the news. It might not be bad news.Sheng Minglan and Gu Tingye sent Xiao Shen away. They could see clearly that the official family always treated things differently.
General Xiao Duan and General Geng forcefully took Gu Tingye to Guangyuntai, saying that it was to comfort Shen Congxing, so Gu Tingye had no choice but to have someone talk to Sheng Minglan.However, Gu Tingye complained to Wei Xingshou from Guangyuntai in a roundabout way. He liked all Sheng Minglan's sincere words, not just for her Marquis.Unconsciously, Gu Tingye revealed the truth, but Wei Xingshou already knew that he was talking about Sheng Minglan.Shen Congxing drank a lot of wine to complain. Whose eldest lady is as virtuous as the Gu Tingye family?Gu Tingye didn't want to, he just wanted a real person.While talking, several people discovered that Xiao Duan was missing. It turned out that he had gone up to sleep.A few people went upstairs with great gossip. When they opened the door, they found a graceful woman sleeping next to Xiao Duan. Gu Tingye hurriedly closed the door.Gu Tingye and Shen Congxing walked drunkenly on the street, talking about how happy they were in Yuzhou.
Sheng Minglan came to see Ms. Zhang. Her belly was getting bigger day by day. They were talking and laughing, but the child suddenly kicked Ms. Zhang.Sheng Minglan was very nervous when she saw her mother pass away due to pregnancy, while Zhang was worried about her and Gu Tingye, but as long as she knew what was going on, that was fine.Gu Tingye slept at Shen Congxing's place last night, but was suddenly woken up by Shen Congxing, saying that something had happened to Xiao Duan. The two asked Shitou to talk to the two ladies and ran away.A fisherman girl knelt in front of the governor and begged for justice, saying that she went to deliver something to Guangyuntai, but she was defiled by General Xiao Duan, and she accurately mentioned the scar on Xiao Duan's back.General Xiao Duan was so angry that he almost hit her, but was pulled away by Gu Tingyu and others.Xiao Duan concluded that he had not done such a thing, and everyone thought that there was something fishy about it, but now they had to wait quietly for the news.
When Gu Tingyu and Shen Congxing went home to have dinner with Sheng Minglan and Zhang, they both felt sorry for Xiao Duan, who was about to discuss marriage.Sheng Minglan suddenly said that if the fisherman committed suicide, they would not be able to explain clearly.Gu Tingyu hurriedly asked Shitou to check on the fisherman, but when he arrived, he found that the fisherman had hanged herself, and her husband was crying beside her.This incident made the four people feel even more strange. The other party must have spent a lot of money, and it seemed that there was no way to be kind.On the way back home, Sheng Minglan and Gu Tingye learned that General Geng was also so angry that he collapsed on the bed.
