Seeing that it was too late, Li Jing helped Cui Yuexi to lie down, covered her with a quilt and comforted her softly.

"It's still early, you are sleeping for a while, I will leave when you are asleep."

He was also reluctant to leave Cui Yuexi, seeing her frightened appearance, he wished he could pour her into his arms for protection, and settle all her troubles for her.

Cui Yuexi was indeed tired, she yawned, looked at Li Jing who was sitting by the bed, and had a bold idea in her heart.

Only when Li Jing was by her side could she feel at ease. She moved inside to make a large space, then patted the place beside her and looked at Li Jing.

"You might as well stay tonight."

Cui Yuexi was worried about Li Jing, so she didn't notice the invitation in her tone, what a temptation it was for Li Jing.

Of course, Li Jin understood her thoughts and nodded seriously.

He took off his outer robe and lay down, Cui Yuexi covered him with a quilt, and as she lifted the quilt, Li Jing's breath was filled with the fragrance of Cui Yuexi's body.

Li Jing couldn't stand the exhaustion of the past few days, so he closed his eyes tiredly and fell asleep.

Cui Yuexi turned over and fell into a deep sleep.

Maybe it was because of the coolness in late autumn, Cui Yuexi was sleeping cold, she unconsciously moved towards Li Jing, and in the end, she nestled directly in Li Jing's arms, who was so sweet.

Li Jing woke up when she got into his arms, he didn't dare to move, for fear of disturbing Cui Yuexi's rest and waking her up.

At this time, Cui Yuexi's slender lotus root arms were resting on his waist, and the corners of Li Jing's lips raised a faint smile. She did not expect Cui Yuexi, who is usually well-behaved, to sleep so unscrupulously in her image.

Li Jing pulled the quilt to cover Cui Yuexi, Cui Yuexi pulled his arm to pillow behind his head, and curled up sideways in Li Jing's arms.

With a gentle face, Li Jing gently pressed a kiss on her forehead and hugged her to sleep.

This night passed very quickly. At dawn, Li Jing slowly pulled out her numb arm. Cui Yuexi was not woken up, she turned over and continued to sleep.

Li Jing looked at her slender back, his eyes were full of indulgence, just as he walked out of the dormitory, he heard sneaky discussions outside.

"What, our master is inside?" Xing Chuan couldn't believe it at all. You must know that Li Jing has always kept himself clean and kept himself from women for so many years. After meeting Cui Yuexi, he kept his duty even more.

Even though the two already had a child, Li Jing always insisted that if they were not married for a day, they would not do anything that would ruin Cui Yuexi's reputation.

Why did she suddenly change her sex and live with Cui Yuexi?
"Turn down your voice." Banana reminded, Xingchuan covered his mouth in disbelief.

Banana looked at him like a fool, and at this moment, Li Jing opened the door and walked out. Seeing Xingchuan's appearance, he questioned him in a cold voice.

"Why, can't you?"

Xing Chuan hurriedly waved his hands, "No, no, how dare my subordinates talk about your affairs."

Li Jing sneered, "Don't you dare?"

Xing Chuan hurriedly explained, "Master, this subordinate was a little surprised when he heard it. Well, this subordinate didn't want to discuss your personal affairs... Oh, I don't know what to say."

He didn't know how to explain it any more. Anyway, the more he explained, the more confused he became.

Now Xingchuan himself doesn't know what he's talking about. Seeing his clumsy appearance, Banana can't help but burst out laughing, this fool.

Li Jing was worried that their voices would disturb Cui Yuexi's rest, so she told Jiaojiao and others to take good care of Cui Yuexi and left with Xingchuan.

The honest monk who came in was very busy. After several days of observation, he found that the so-called plague was probably not a more contagious plague like smallpox.

Although the common people had symptoms on a large scale, after he asked many common people, many of them had no contact with them, but they developed the same symptoms.

The doubts in the honest monk's heart became more intense. He checked the conditions of dozens of households with almost serious illnesses, and finally found abnormalities in the rice they ate.

He informed Li Jing of the news, and when Li Jing learned about it, he took Xing Chuan to rush there.

When Li Jing found the honest monk, he was thinking about something with his head down, but Li Jing didn't bother him.

After a long time, the honest monk looked at Li Jing in embarrassment.

"It's really the rice that's the problem."

Hearing this, Li Jing's heart sank. Most of the rice in the capital comes from two rice shops.

Li Jing was well aware of the seriousness of it, and asked the honest monk with a solemn face.

"Is there a problem with both rices, or only one of them?"

If there is a problem with the rice of the two companies, there are many possibilities for this situation, such as being poisoned during transportation, or there is already a problem with the source of the purchase, and it will be time-consuming and laborious to investigate.

Li Jing was very resistant in her heart, and she didn't want this matter to have anything to do with Yang Juan and her husband. With Yang Juan's love for Cui Yuexi, if this matter was found out on the side of Liu's house, Cui Yuexi would be worried again.

Monk Honest also lived in Liu's house for a period of time, and he was aware of the relationship between Cui Yuexi and Yang Juan, but right now the issue must be resolved, and the personal relationship between children and family must be put aside.

"The people who showed the symptoms of the plague were all the people who used the rice sold by the Liu family, and the people who ate the rice from the Yun family store had no problems."

As soon as the honest monk's words came out of his mouth, Li Jing understood that the incident this time was too directional. It was clear that someone deliberately targeted the branch of the Liu family, but the real purpose was to disgust him and Cui Yuexi.

"Master, how do we deal with this?"

Li Jing's eyes darkened slightly, and he spoke in a cold voice.

"Notify Jingzhao Mansion."

It's not that Li Jing is cold-blooded. This matter cannot be concealed. Instead of causing criticism, it is better to face it frankly. Those who are clear will clean up themselves. Don't be afraid of investigations. What's more, he has a lot of ways to rectify the name of the Liu family.

Xue Baihu of Jingzhao Mansion came with his bodyguards and surrounded the Liu family.

Facing the sudden change, Yang Juan was stunned for a moment, her body staggered and almost fell, the maid next to her hurriedly supported her.

Uncle Liu hurried over to help her, and comforted her softly, "Ma'am, don't panic, these officials are just asking my husband to come and ask questions, and nothing will happen."

As a husband and wife, how could Yang Juan not understand that Uncle Liu was comforting her, how could ordinary people understand the darkness of the officialdom, she knew how muddy the water was, so she couldn't help but take a deep breath, Force yourself to be calm.

Yang Juan firmly held Uncle Liu's hand, "Master, it's dangerous for you to go here, you must be careful in everything." After speaking, she squeezed Uncle Liu's hand.

Uncle Liu understood Yang Juan's meaning, nodded and agreed, "Madam, don't worry."
