Haitang came in with snacks, a plate of rose cake, a plate of steamed crisps filled with walnut kernels, all freshly out of the oven, and poured some rose tea, Xia Li drank some tea, picked up a piece of rose cake and sipped it Eat up.

With the windows open in the house, the cool breeze of early summer blows gently, and the sound of cicadas in the afternoon is quite interesting.Junlan Courtyard is as quiet and far-reaching as ever, while Dongxue Courtyard is noisy with gongs and drums.

Gu Huaiyang wore bright purple clothes, implying that the purple air is coming from the east.He sat on the upper chair, with a haughty expression, and said triumphantly: "Auntie, the third prince is very satisfied with me this time, and I will be a big celebrity by his side from now on."

Luo Yunshi also had a smile on her face: "My son is brilliant and powerful, and it will be a matter of time before he becomes famous. Sooner or later, the Duke's Mansion will be my son's. See, now it's my son who is in charge of the Duke's Mansion."

Gu Chunyan glanced in the direction of Junlan Courtyard, thinking of Xia Li's haughty and indifferent face, she felt very unhappy, and said, "Brother, our family of three is celebrating here, it's very lively; the poor lady has no children under her knees. , hiding in the yard alone, why don’t we show our filial piety and ask Madam to come and enjoy family happiness with us?!”

Gu Huaiyang couldn't get what he wanted, and hurriedly said: "Go and invite Madam."

Thinking of Xia Li's always arrogant appearance, Gu Huaiyang's heart itch, maybe this is the man's desire to conquer!Those unruly women can always arouse a man's fighting power, wanting to pin her down and bully her... Just as he was thinking about it, the servant came back and responded: "Madam said, say She is the mistress, according to the rules, she cannot go to the concubine's room to celebrate..."

In fact, this was because the servant was afraid of being punished, so to put it mildly, when Haitang heard Gu Huaiyang's mother and son's arrogant remarks, she said bluntly: "My wife is the main wife, and your Aunt Luo is just a concubine, so there is nothing worthy of our wife's condescension." Go to a concubine's room! It seems that people in the Duke's mansion don't distinguish between high and low, and no distinction between concubine and concubine! If there is another time, the family law will serve!"

Luo Yunshi was trembling with anger when she heard it. Ever since Xia Li entered the door, she has been suppressed. Now that her son is promising, she naturally doesn't need to bear it any longer. She immediately said: "Since she won't come, let's go! Okay!" Let that bitch know that Brother Yang is the master of the Duke's Mansion!" And even though she doesn't have the position of wife, she is the uncrowned king!

A group of people set off in a mighty way, and came to Junlan Courtyard to celebrate Xia Li.Haitang received the wind and said angrily: "Miss, these people are really shameless!"

Xia Li sighed, Gu Huaiyang always had the face of a villain, but no matter how high he climbed now, he would fall so badly in the future, let him be the first!

When Gu Huaiyang and his party came in, what they saw was this: Xia Li was wearing a white silky bottom loose flower skirt, her face was completely free of makeup, and her fair skin was glittering and translucent. She was lazily resting on an armchair, okay? Cozy!Seeing them coming, Xia Li waved her hand casually, and said unhurriedly, "Sit!"

Gu Huaiyang's face changed slightly, he thought Xia Li would be uneasy, after all, her position in the Duke's Mansion plummeted when she was in her early years, how could she act as if nothing had happened?But in a blink of an eye, he calmed down, frowned and said impatiently to Xia Li: "Mother is so calm, my son admires it!"

Hearing Gu Huaiyang's yin and yang voice, Xia Li laughed faintly: "Brother Yang, a man, you should speak your mind straight, and you must not learn how to play tricks like a woman in the inner house."

When she said these words, Xia Li's voice was sharp and her words were righteous, as if Gu Huaiyang was really as inappropriate as a gossip!

Gu Huaiyang had never been so angry before, a burst of anger ignited, his whole face was distorted, and he said heavily: "Forget it, it's not your own, how can you know the cold and the hot!"

Luo Yunshi was tearful at this time, and said aggrievedly: "Ma'am, you are Brother Yang's aunt after all, and now he has made great achievements. Although Madam didn't hold a banquet to celebrate, she still said a few pleasant words , how can you speak out and scold again? Poor brother Yang is devoted to the government of the country, but the madam is so cold-hearted!"

Gu Chunyan shouted with a blue face: "Mother, how can you treat us like this? This time it was insulting, will you poison us next time?"

The atmosphere in the hall was extremely tense for a while, and when the swords were on the verge of breaking out, Xia Li smiled softly, her extremely beautiful face was full of arrogance: "Brother Yang, what great achievements have you made? , invited relatives and friends to celebrate?"

Gu Chunyan said with a cold face: "Of course it is for the third prince! My brother is now a big celebrity next to the third prince! My wife is shrunk in the back house, with short-sightedness, naturally I don't know what a big celebrity means!"

Luo Yunshi just shed tears, as if she had been greatly wronged.

Xia Li's face sank, and she said, "I'm looking for a job in this position. As the bodyguard of the Third Prince, Brother Yang, it's his duty to share his worries. Why did he make great contributions when he came to you? Could it be that Brother Yang plans to eat a vegetarian meal in his place?" ? To throw a big banquet after doing a job, is this insulting the world under the guise of the Duke's Mansion?"

Gu Huaiyang was taken aback, he couldn't tell that he had dug a gold mine for the third prince, so he could only stare at Xia Li, but couldn't say anything.Seeing his deflated appearance, Xia Li was very happy in her heart, and said, "Brother Yang is young and vigorous, so he has to be more prudent in the future. Don't let others say that the government of our country has short-sightedness and has never seen a big scene."

After speaking, he waved his hand and made a gesture of seeing off the guests.

Luo Yunshi's mother and son approached aggressively, and walked away dejectedly.

After they left, Haitang said anxiously: "Miss, they are all white-eyed wolves. We obviously didn't mess with them, but they kept troubling us again and again! Miss, be careful!"

"The tree wants to be quiet but the wind doesn't stop. They feel that I'm blocking their way, so they naturally want to get rid of me and hurry up. But I'm not a soft-hearted person. If others treat me well, I will pay back a hundred times; Naturally, an eye for an eye will be an eye for an eye." Xia Li laughed.

Although Gu Huaiyang was looking for a job in his place, he has been strongly supported by the third prince, and he has become the target of many people's fawning.Every time they greeted each other, Gu Huaiyang and Gu Chunyan were very arrogant, and their tone of voice was very contemptuous towards Xia Li.

Xia Li ignored it, and lived her life quietly, as if she didn't care about world affairs.

In this way, June ushered in, the sultry weather made people feel irritable, and the arrival of a piece of news made Gu Huaiyang feel very depressed.

It is said that one day when Zhang Quanming, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, came back to his residence, there were more than four hundred people in front of his house, all dressed in rags, old and young, who were probably country bumpkins from some village.The leader was a middle-aged man in his forties. This person was Xue Haizhi, the magistrate of Taiping County. He brought half of the villagers of Taiping County to Beijing to sue the magistrate of Taiping County for colluding with Wei Qinghe, the prefect of southern Fujian, to mine gold mines without permission and to kill villagers. and other charges.

Zhang Quanming, who came from a poor family, was very opposed to such things as the power to ignore people's lives, so he helped Xue Haizhi write the pleadings and led them to Jingzhao Yin's mansion to complain about grievances and beat drums, which aroused great repercussions in the capital.

By the time Gu Huaiyang came to his senses, Jing Zhao Yin's House had already accepted the case for trial.He thought of killing people to silence them, but Zhang Quanming settled the villagers in the village and arranged for guards.What's more, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, if the word is silenced at this time, I am afraid that there is no silver 300 taels here.Gu Huaiyang was so anxious that he was sweating profusely, but there was nothing he could do, so the third prince went to Northern Xinjiang to negotiate with Marquis Jianwei.

There was no one who could make the decision, and Gu Huaiyang was solely responsible for the gold mine. He couldn't do anything other than run around like an ant on a hot pot.

Xia Li watched with cold eyes, still drinking and admiring the flowers, with a look of tranquility.

Mu Yao put on brocade clothes, flipped through the documents in his hand, and laughed in a low voice: "Qingfeng, what do you think she is?" He repeatedly ruined Gu Huaiyang's good deeds, but did not involve the Duke's Palace. Immortal? !Or hate out of love? !

"It's said that villains and women are difficult to raise. It seems that they are right." Mu Yao said lightly.

This matter was indeed manipulated by Zhou Wen and his wife sent by Xia Li. After Gu Huaiyang and his group left, Zhou Wen and his wife found the families of those who were forcibly robbed of mining and persuaded them to go to Beijing to file a complaint.As the chief housekeeper, Luo Yulin was cruel and violent. He snatched away the strong young labor force, made them mine day and night, and only ate one meal a day. Even if they were sick, they had to wait until the moment of death.The villagers dared not speak out, and rejected Zhou Wen and his wife at first.

Later, Xue Haizhi, the county magistrate of Taiping County, stood up and tied up the county magistrate after persuading the villagers. He took the opportunity to take all the villagers to Beijing to sue the imperial court.After the county magistrate was released, even though Luo Yulin was contacted, the entire village went to Beijing, even if they killed all the people in the gold mine, it would not help.

Luo Yulin wrote to Gu Huaiyang and bought some killers to chase after those villagers, but they were all stopped by the people sent by Mu Yao, allowing these villagers to go to Beijing to sue smoothly.

Qingfeng said: "Madam sold her dowry to raise money."

Mu Yao closed the fan in his hand and said, "It's really interesting! Keep staring at this woman in the future, it's even more exciting than Li Yuan's opera!"

If Xia Li knew that her every move fell into the eyes of others, and said that she was a singer who didn't want money, she would probably vomit blood with anger.
