Help!Master Chief Assistant's Jiaojiao is a black widow

At the residence of the Procuratorate in the provincial capital, Ye Chengwei had just finished sorting out the files and newspapers collected from various places recently, and then his upright figure slowly relaxed, ready to take a breather after a hard day.

It's the twelfth lunar month, thinking about the time, it's time for Hua Rujin to arrive in the provincial capital, but he hasn't arrived yet, he guessed that the heavy snow a few days ago might have hindered this girl's schedule, so he had to calm down wait.

"Son."

He was in a daze with hesitation on his face when he suddenly heard a familiar voice.

Looking up, he saw that it was Ting An walking in with a thick luggage on his back.

Ye Chengwei glanced behind him, a little disappointed and said: "Why did you come to the provincial capital alone, Miss Hua didn't come with you?"

"His Royal Highness Prince Ning and Miss Wu accompanied Miss Hua to leave Jiangling City in a carriage. Miss Hua asked me to come and inform you first."

Ting An knew that he was thinking about Miss Hua, but King Ning didn't want to accompany him, and he didn't dare to force her company.

"His Royal Highness King Ning?"

Ye Chengwei sneered coldly: "Our Highness seems to be too concerned about Miss Hua."

As soon as the words were finished, another deep voice came in: "Which family's Miss Hua actually let our No. [-] Scholar follow him so much?"

The two masters and servants looked at the reputation, and they all showed surprise at this unexpected guest who came suddenly.

"The little one has met Master Shangshu."

Ting An immediately stood in awe and bowed his hands in salute.

"The lower official has met Lord Shangshu."

Ye Chengwei also solemnly saluted the visitor, and asked in a lukewarm tone: "The lower official should change his name to Mr. Shoufu. I don't know why Mr. Shoufu came to Jiangxia County late at night?"

The person who came was none other than Lu Ming, the former Minister of Officials.

He had just received the news from Beijing that his master had resigned, and Lu Ming had officially taken over as chief assistant.

According to this situation, I am afraid that King Yun will soon be established as the crown prince.

"Still have such a relationship with me."

Lu Ming's old eyes blinked slightly and kept looking at him, his eyes were full of kindness: "After the new year, I will re-form the cabinet. Your Majesty has granted me a one-month vacation. I will come back to my hometown specially when I have some time. have a look."

After casually looking around in the room, he asked Ting An resentfully: "Why didn't you bring your wife to the provincial capital? Your son is now studying in the provincial capital. How desolate it is to leave her alone in Jiangling City."

Ting An looked at his young master with some embarrassment, and didn't know how to answer.

"My mother's affairs don't bother Mr. Shoufu to worry about."

Ye Chengwei looked at Lu Ming with a cold face, and didn't intend to greet him to take a seat.

Lu Ming had no choice but to sit at the tea table by himself, poured a cup of tea by himself, and said while drinking, "Bring your mother to the provincial capital. I will spend this New Year's Eve with your mother and son in Jiangxia County."

"I also ask Mr. Shoufu to respect himself."

Ye Chengwei said displeasedly: "My mother has been a widow for many years, and she doesn't want to see her old friend again."

"I didn't expect that after so many years, your mother still hates me so much and refuses to see me."

Lu Ming felt sour, and said with a lonely face: "But you are my flesh and blood after all, and she stopped you and me from recognizing each other. It's really too cruel."

After finishing speaking, he took out a thick stack of banknotes from his pocket and put them on the tea table, and said:

"Cheng Wei, you are not young anymore. It's time to reach the age of marriage. I heard that you booked a marriage in Jiangling City. The 10 taels of silver were specially raised for your father to marry you. You asked Ting Ann buys a bigger house in the provincial capital, and buys more land, and the rest will be the dowry gift. At any rate, he is the number one scholar handpicked by His Majesty. This marriage was arranged by you when you were a child, but Don't treat the Yue family badly."

"I don't need Mr. Shoufu to worry about this matter."

Ye Chengwei pushed the bank note back.

Lu Ming had no choice but to put the banknote into Ting An's hand: "Take it, don't be as knowledgeable as your son."

"My lord, the marriage that the young master ordered earlier has been withdrawn."

Ting An held the bank note at a loss, feeling his entire palm was burning.

"Which family's girl is so ignorant of flattery, that someone in another family can't get a marriage with a lantern?"

Lu Ming's face was embarrassed for a while, and then he said seriously: "It's okay for such a family, just before I left Beijing, His Royal Highness Yun Wang wanted to give you his eldest daughter, Princess Jingyun, as his wife, and I was still worried about you If you don't like it, you didn't agree immediately, and I will accept this marriage for you when I return to Beijing after the New Year's Eve."

"I really don't like it."

Ye Chengwei's eyes were as cold as pools, and his tone was even colder: "If Lord Shoufu is here because of a private matter, then I have nothing to say with Lord Shoufu, please go back earlier."

After speaking, he ordered Ting An to return the banknote to Lu Ming.

Ting An put the silver ticket back into Lu Ming's hand with a bitter face, and said with a smile, "My lord, my son has never been short of money."

"I am well aware of your young master's ability."

Lu Ming has long been accustomed to his son's indifference, and he said with great relief: "The evil god of knife and brush that has been rumored for a long time in Beijing is your son, right? Some people are willing to pay thousands of taels of gold to buy an ink painting made at that time. Over the years, many people have been thirsty for the masterpieces of the sword and brush god, and there has been no market for the price. I am not worried about your son. Short of silver."

Looking at Ye Chengwei with warm eyes, Lu Ming said in a very gentle tone: "It's just that parents should fulfill their responsibilities as parents. Since you were born when you were young, your mother didn't want us father and son to meet each other. As a father, I couldn't accompany you. As you grow up, you can only make more compensation in your marriage."

Hearing him keep mentioning the old things, Ye Chengwei couldn't hold back the anger anymore, and snapped: "What face do you have to mention my mother again? Is it possible that Mr. Shoufu thinks that these money can make up for your misdeeds?" The debt of our mother and son?"

Thinking back on what happened back then, Lu Ming's heart ached like a knife.

More than ten years ago, he served as the Grand Sima of Jingzhou Prefecture. During a day trip to the lake, he met Qin Wanrou, a fisherman's daughter. The two fell in love at first sight and made a private decision for life.

At that time, although the family had arranged a marriage for him, it was not what he wanted, and he just wanted to find someone who was like him.

Furthermore, Concubine Xue Gui at that time was only a side concubine of the palace, so there was nothing to fear.

Unexpectedly, the heavens did not come true, the great grandfather passed away, the new emperor ascended the throne, and the Xue family became the most favored imperial concubine in the new dynasty. Her younger sister, Xue Wanning, naturally became the most trusted royal family member in the court. , This marriage can't be withdrawn even if you want to.

He had no choice but to leave Qin Wanrou behind and return to Beijing to marry Xue Wanning.

However, Qin Wanrou would rather die than be a lowly little girl. She broke up with him and left Jiangling City while she was pregnant.

Later, he asked someone to find out that Qin's father couldn't bear his daughter's humiliation, so he took her away from home and married her to a family named Ye in a nearby state capital. It was not until Qin's father died that Qin Wanrou took Ye Chengwei with her. Return to the hometown of Jiangling City.

The past is vivid in his mind, Lu Ming did not feel angry because of his son's rudeness, but patiently persuaded him with kind words:
"Cheng Wei, you are very clear about being a father and your mother. You used to be young and couldn't understand the difficulties of being a father. I don't blame you, but now that you have grown up, you should understand that you have to be a father. If I had Forced to stay with your mother, do you want me to ignore the entire Lu family?"

"Excuse me for my shallow knowledge, I really can't understand the difficulties of Mr. Shoufu."

Ye Chengwei's attitude is still decisive: "Master Shoufu is also a person who has read a lot of poetry and books, so he should understand the truth that if you can't let people live in peace, you shouldn't easily destroy people's reputation."

One sentence made Lu Ming speechless, and he was speechless for a long time.
