Lu Ming knew he was wrong, and he has been trying to make up for Qin Wanrou and Ye Chengwei's mother and son all these years, but this woman's heartlessness is even worse than his own son. Not only does he not want to see each other again, even his own flesh and blood Let yourself meet.

After pondering for a long time, he sighed a long time: "Your temperament has always followed your mother, you will be strong all your life, and never depend on others. Compared with those younger brothers and sisters at home, you are the most reassuring thing for me. You really don't need me too much. Worry too much."

After a pause, he suddenly turned around and said: "It's just that there are many things in the officialdom. Because my father is an experienced person, I have to warn you. Even if you don't want to get involved in party disputes, you can't hold back your arms after all. Now your majesty is old. , sooner or later there will be a new king to succeed, whether it is King Yun or King Fu, you would rather respect him than be your enemy."

"Many people in the chief minister have worried too much. The lower official never thought of being an enemy of anyone. Since eating the king's salary is only for the king's worries, the lower official never forgets his original intention and just wants to be a pure minister."

Ye Chengwei didn't feel that what he said was purely concerned about himself, but was a lobbyist for King Yun.

"You don't have to be so perfunctory in front of me. I know you look down on King Yun. It's just the current general trend. I don't think I need to remind you of this. Recently, it has been rumored in the palace that His Majesty has plans to establish a new empress. Once Concubine Xue Gui After the conferment, it will be a matter of time before King Yun can be appointed as the crown prince, why did you let that boy Xiuyuan stare at Jiang Zhu from the inspection department, and why did you help Luo Chuhuai, that old, treacherous and cunning fellow, to find Qian Yingying's whereabouts?"

Seeing that he was displeased when he mentioned Lu Xiuyuan, Lu Ming quickly explained: "Don't blame Xiuyuan for this matter, he is naturally devoted to you, but what you ordered him to do this time is really too big Some, he had no choice but to write a letter to tell me the matter."

Ye Chengwei never regarded Lu Xiuyuan as his closest person. Since he came from the Lu family, he wanted to serve the family. Therefore, when investigating Jiang Zhu and looking for the Qian family, he did not intend to hide it from Lu Ming from the beginning. The purpose was to hope that he would understand. What kind of face does King Yun have?

"Since Lord Shoufu mentioned Qian Yingying and His Royal Highness King Yun, I would like to ask you, Lord Shoufu and King Yun were both in Jingzhou Mansion back then. How much do you know about the past?"

Ye Chengwei stared at him with deep eyes, and asked meaningfully: "Master Shoufu served as Sima in the state capital, assisted the prefect's salt administration, arrested bandits, and was also in charge of Jiangfang and other administrative matters. He is the same as Wen Yuming who committed suicide in fear of crime." Colleagues who work together under the same roof don't know nothing about Jiang'an County and Qian Yingying, right?"

"If you say I don't know anything, you won't believe it."

Lu Ming had nothing to hide in front of his son, so he replied truthfully: "When I was a father, I was as virtuous as King Yun, but I was just a dandy, but I was exempted from living in Jingzhou by relying on the merits of your grandfather. The mansion Sima is not highly regarded by the great grandfather, nor is he regarded as the confidant of King Yun, so in those years after taking office, he only cared about indulging in pleasure."

Thinking of the joys of those years, a happy smile gradually appeared on his face: "Especially when I met your mother not long after I came here, I have been thinking about pleasing your mother all day long, so I don't have the time to ask about these things, but I do know something about Qian Yingying. At that time, I was already married to the eldest lady of my family. Because of the relationship with Concubine Xue, I was gradually used by King Yun. At that time, I heard your aunt mention King Yun by chance. This unspeakable past."

"Master Shoufu should be careful when speaking, why is my aunt?"

Ye Chengwei reminded again: "My mother is married to my father, Ming Mei, and Xiaguan is the son of the Ye family. There is only one aunt of Xiaguan."

"Yes Yes Yes."

Lu Ming replied with a smile: "I told you about this when I left Beijing. As long as your mother is willing, she will treat you as an equal wife when she returns to Beijing. I will never wrong you mother and son."

"The eldest lady is really reasonable."

Ye Chengwei sneered meaningfully.

He also met Xue Wanning when he was in Beijing, but he was just a villain with a hidden knife in his smile. Pretending to be extremely enthusiastic is also embarrassing her.

Anyway, I have never thought about the wealth of the Lu family, nor have I ever thought about relying on the Lu family to seek promotion, her intrigues are not easy to use.

"Thank you Mrs. Xue for your kindness. My mother is used to living alone. Before she came out, my mother also specially asked Xiaguan to bring a message to Lord Shoufu. The late father kindly took our mother and son in when she was in trouble, and gave her a title. She is the Ye family's ghost in this life, and she doesn't want to have anything to do with Lord Shoufu anymore."

Ye Chengwei solemnly reminded: "Master Shoufu has already damaged my mother's reputation once, if he is merciful, shouldn't he ruin her a second time?"

Lu Ming sighed helplessly, shook his head and said, "Ye Qing is indeed straightforward and reliable. He will never leave your mother. I am not as good as him in this regard."

When the words fell, I had to put away the banknotes, thinking about what he was investigating, and said again uneasy: "The heights are so cold, you are not just a county magistrate now, relying on your own ability to do it at a young age." Serving as an inspector in the provincial government is much more promising than being a father, and I am proud of you for my father, but you must be careful in everything, think twice before acting, and don't act on your will."

Although he didn't say it clearly, Ye Chengwei knew it clearly, he still wanted to remind himself that he should not interfere with King Yun's affairs.

But he had personally witnessed the thousands of white bones being salvaged one by one from Mount Paektu, and the heartbroken wailing of the suffering masters in those days is still lingering in his ears.

Furthermore, he was well aware of the Hua family matter, and it was all because of King Yun's own selfishness that he had harmed many people.

Such a prince who doesn't care about the common people and treats human life like nothing has the right to ascend to the throne of God.

He doesn't want to choose to be with others.

"I just ask for a clear conscience."

Ye Chengwei bowed his hands to him, and after sending him out of the mansion, he went back to the inner room and took out a painting, then asked Ting An: "How did Master Lu know the whereabouts of the pseudonym Knife and Pen Evil God?"

Ting An shook his head blankly: "I have never told Mr. Lu, even the old lady, that Mr. Lu has always been very concerned about your son's affairs, even trivial things. I'm afraid he could tell it from the young master's handwriting."

Ye Chengwei thought that this might be the case, and silently sorted out a few more pieces of calligraphy from under the desk, handed them to Ting An, and said thoughtfully: "Miss Hua is due to arrive in a few days, you will be here soon." The paintings and a few pieces of calligraphy were sold and saved for a rainy day."

"Didn't you say that you will no longer paint and write calligraphy for others?"

Ting An looked puzzled: "Young master gave Miss Hua 5000 taels of silver notes last time, I just think that His Majesty rewarded you with a lot of money this time, and your son was promoted to the provincial government again. You are here to thank Miss Hua for your time. For the kindness of helping each other, it is possible that the young master really wants to give her such a large sum of money every year, and looking at the entire Daye Dynasty, I am afraid that he will not be able to find a second staff member who has such a generous reward."

"It's not easier for a girl to come out and show her face than us men, how can I wrong her."

Ye Chengwei smiled disapprovingly and said: "It's just a matter of manual work, and there is no need to rack your brains to raise money. Don't talk too much, just do what I say."

Ting An thinks about the same reasoning, anyway, there are people who take advantage of the young master's paintings and calligraphy, and are willing to spend money, 5000 taels a year is simply a trivial matter for the young master, so there is no need to worry.

"Listen to your son."

Ting An replied with a smile, packed up his paintings and calligraphy, and hurried out of the inner room.
