my wife is wonderful

Chapter 297 Getting along
"Maoshan doesn't want to go to the yamen today?" Geng Wen asked.

Yang Qingmo shook his head. "I have already told you everything I know about the affairs of the West and North. The rest will be the affairs of the Dali Temple, the Supervisory Office, and the Ministry of Justice."

Because the third-rank Left Vice-Censor-in-Chief Shu Pingkuo was also implicated in the case, and the Left Censor-in-Chief Zhu Qianyuan was in poor health and, although he had not retired yet, he was no longer in charge of affairs, most of the affairs in the Inspectorate were now in charge of Yang Shaojing. Therefore, after Yang Qingmo reported the whole story, he tried his best to avoid subsequent matters.

Geng Wen glanced at the handsome young man sitting at the bottom, thinking, "You are so smart, can't you understand what I mean? Am I asking about going to the government office? I am asking why you come to our house every day? You and my daughter haven't got married yet, you have to pay attention!"
He just kept repeating this a few times, and was just about to say it in a more tactful way, to remind him, when he heard his wife, who was sitting next to him, say, "Sister Shuang, the kitchen made lotus cakes today, and the flowers in the garden have been taken care of this year, so they are in full bloom now. You can take Liu Lang to the pavilion in the garden to sit, admire the flowers, and have some tea and snacks. It's a good opportunity to rest your eyes. Drawing for several days in a row is hurting your eyes!"

From their conversation just now, she knew that a lot of things had happened during the few days when she was drawing behind closed doors. Geng Xingshuang was just looking for an opportunity to ask about it, and Ruan's suggestion was exactly what she wanted.

Seeing her nod in agreement, Yang Qingmo also stood up and said with a smile: "It just so happens that Hongfu and Luxi came with me this time. The garden is big enough for them to fly down and play around."

Until Geng Xingshuang and Yang Qingmo left together and walked out of the courtyard, Geng Wen was unable to find an opportunity to stop this engaged couple from being alone together. He couldn't help feeling a little depressed.

Seeing that he was in such a bad mood, Ruan's smile disappeared immediately. She glanced at her husband and asked, "Are you thinking about Geng Shulou, so you can't bear to see Shuang Jie'er and Mao Shan being so relaxed?"

Injustice!
Geng Wen said helplessly, "I want to say that we have flowers and plants in our yard, and there is no shortage of snacks and tea. The place is not small, so we can have fun there. There is no need to go to the garden."

Ruan glared at him. "What do you know? Is this a matter of flowers, plants, snacks, tea, and the size of the garden? Shuang Jieer said she wants to get married after she turns 18. The Yang family and Mao Shan both agree. We naturally want to keep our daughter for two more years, but Shuang Jieer and Mao Shan are both busy. They probably won't have many opportunities to meet in the next two years. Since they have met, we naturally have to find a chance for them to be alone together and cultivate a tacit understanding and responsibility between the two sides. If they get along well now, they will be able to live a smoother life when they get married in the future."

What he said made a lot of sense, and Geng Wen couldn't refute it. If we talk about the strict rules for men and women, after all, his daughter and Yang Qingmo had already been engaged, and they all knew Yang Qingmo's character well. Before they got married, he would not do anything inappropriate.

The people of Daning are open-minded, and such things as unmarried couples spending time alone together are not criticized.

"Alright, alright. I know you've been feeling uncomfortable these past two days because of Geng Shulou's incident. Just go and worry about your own things. I still have things to do!"

Ruan said this a little impatiently, and after she finished speaking, regardless of Geng Wen's look as if he wanted to explain, she went into the inner room, picked up the sewing basket, and the several pieces of drawing paper that Shuang Jie'er had just brought. She liked the one with the moon white and clear blue Liuxian skirt the most. It was a spring dress, and she was going to make one for Shuang Jie'er herself. It was already March, so she had to make it quickly so that Shuang Jie'er could wear it in time.

She also likes several other styles of spring and summer dresses. After finishing this Liuxian skirt, she will make the Xiang skirt with ten brocade patterns. When that skirt is finished, it will suit her skin tone very well, and Sister Shuang will definitely look good in it.

Her daughter had not been with her for nearly half a year. Now that she was finally back, Ruan wanted to put all her energy on her daughter. It seemed that only by doing so could she get out of the anxious and restless mood of the past six months.

Geng Xingshuang didn't know that his father had hit a snag with his mother again. He felt depressed and helpless. He was just thinking about going to Wutong Courtyard to talk to his third brother Geng Yan, but as soon as he arrived outside Wutong Courtyard, he ran into Liang Ben. Liang Ben came to invite Geng Yan, but when he saw Geng Wen, he immediately said, "It just so happened that Uncle asked me to invite the eldest and third uncles to come over to talk. I was just about to go to Qingcui Courtyard after inviting the third uncle."

Just like this, Geng Wen was simply delivered to the door and was invited to Yideyuan together with Geng Yan.

Unexpectedly, even Xia was in Yideyuan this time. When she saw Geng Wen and Geng Yan enter the room, before Geng Xun could speak, Xia knelt down with a plop. Geng Xingshuang was stroking Hongfu's head with one hand and Luxi's head with the other, "leaning to Hong and Cui", so happy. The two swans nestled beside her, motionless, as if they were competing to see who was more obedient. After feeding them the same amount of fish meat, Geng Xingshuang said to the two: "Go play!"

It was not until the two swans flew into the sky almost at the same time and disappeared from her sight at the same time that she looked at Yang Qingmo.

"Is there any result?"

"Early this morning, Prince Ping was summoned to the palace. He probably didn't expect Xie Lei to be alive, so although he made some preparations, they were just in case. I don't think he knew that the evidence is now conclusive."

Yang Qingmo looked at the girl sitting opposite him. Her pair of clear eyes were like the brightest stars in the night sky. He couldn't imagine what would happen to her, and what would happen to him, if the robbers had evil intentions towards her, if Wu Biao and Yu Hei had not rescued her in time, if Nie An had not been able to find her accurately.

He had imagined these terrible consequences countless times at that time. Perhaps because the war was urgent and he was preoccupied with many things, although he was worried all the time, most of his energy was focused on the things in front of him. Emotions such as guilt, fear and even terror were not as intense and difficult to let go as they are now.

So, not in the future, but only in the present, Wei Ke cannot stay.

In the matter of bringing down Wei Ke, although he seemed neither hasty nor slow, and neither biased nor partial, and only presented the evidence in his hands as required, in fact, both the words he stated and the evidence in his hands, although they were all facts, had been carefully considered and calculated, in order to punish King Wei Ke of Zhiping as quickly and as much as possible, so that he could never turn over, and even directly cost him his life.

As for Geng Xingbing, who used her status as a concubine to pressure the Anping Marquis' Mansion and forcefully took Geng Xingshuang to the Pingwang Palace, as long as there is no Pingwang as a big tree, how long she can survive depends on her luck.

Yang Qingmo would never tell Geng Xingshuang about these plans.

Geng Xingshuang had some guesses about what Prince Ping had done. Xie Kun, the former governor of the Western Land, probably had some relationship with Prince Ping. Although Xie Kun was originally a man of the eldest prince Wei Li, Wei Li was imprisoned, so it was not difficult to guess that Xie Kun had switched to someone else.

But she couldn't figure out why it wasn't the Second Prince, Prince Shen. "Wasn't Prince Shen the one who had the best relationship with the First Prince before? I heard that the gold and iron mines in Mincheng were mined by Prince Li and Prince Shen together. Prince Li was imprisoned, and Prince Shen was the most convenient person to take over all his resources."

This is not to say that Prince Li trusts Prince Shen the most, but Prince Shen knows the most and is most convenient to fight for.

"Everything else that could be seized was seized, otherwise how could Prince Shen have the confidence to rebel? It's just that Xie Kun doesn't like Prince Shen. Prince Li not only has a favor for him, but it's also said that his legitimate son Xie Lei was born stupid and was often ridiculed when he was in office with Xie Kun. At that time, the eldest prince went to investigate Xie Kun's office with the imperial envoy. When he encountered this incident, the eldest prince scolded the people who laughed at Xie Lei on the spot. Those people were not ordinary people, but the sons of local dignitaries. Because of the eldest prince's protection, Xie Lei was rarely laughed at or humiliated in person later."

These things happened some years ago, when Prince Li and Xie Lei were still young. Precisely because they were young, Xie Kun felt that the eldest prince was truly protecting his son and did not have any other agenda.

"So Xie Kun doesn't simply dislike Prince Shen, but he is very loyal to the eldest prince." Geng Xingshuang concluded, "And Prince Shen should have also contributed to the imprisonment of the eldest prince, which makes Xie Kun, who is loyal to the eldest prince, hate Prince Shen even more."

Yang Qingmo nodded, "So Xie Kun will not surrender to Prince Shen, but the eldest prince is no longer able to compete with Prince Shen, so the Zhang family stepped in to connect Prince Ping and Xie Kun."
