Daughter of aristocratic family

Chapter 277 Seeking profit
After drinking tea with Mrs. Yun, Zhao Wangshu returned to Linglong Courtyard. She had the habit of taking a nap in the afternoon.

Zhao Wangshu didn't take a long nap. He got up half an hour later and rang the bell to summon someone to come in and wait on him.

"Young mistress." Luzhi came in with mouthwash.

Zhao Wangshu rinsed his mouth, wiped his face, and went to the study to practice calligraphy.

At Unitary Hour, the self-ringing bell rang, and Zhao Wangshu put down his pen, "Has the young master not returned home yet?"

"The young master hasn't come back yet." Luzhi replied.

Lan Fen said through the door curtain: "Young mistress, Anan has something to report."

Anan is Yun Hao's long-term follower. Zhao Wangshu walked out quickly, "What's the matter with Anan? Where is the young master?"

"I have met the young lady, and the young master met General Hao on the road. The general has something to tell the young master, so he asked me to report to you." Anan saluted.

"I know." After Zhao Wangshu got married, it was the first time he had dinner alone without Yun Hao.

When Yun Hao came back, Zhao Wangshu was still reading his storybook, "Wangshu, it's so late, why haven't you slept yet?"

"Waiting for you." Zhao Wangshu put down his notebook, "What does General Hao want from you?"

"Xiangzheng County, no, Lin Yun colluded with Jiangnan Salt Administration officials to sell private salt for profit. General Hao accidentally learned about this. He doesn't trust others and wants me to investigate." Yun Hao took off his belt. road.

Zhao Wangshu didn't believe that Hao Shi knew about this accidentally. He should have been keeping people's eyes on Lin Yun since Xu Danyang's death.

Lin Yun was demoted to guard the imperial mausoleum, which was a light punishment. Unexpectedly, the emperor brought him back after only a short time.

Although he has not been restored to his title of county prince and is still a commoner, what does it mean to let him live in the former prince's palace?
This shows that sooner or later, he will regain his title.

Xu Danyang's life was really not worth dying for.

The prince breaks the law and is as guilty as the common people. Most of them are empty words.

"Will His Majesty send you to investigate?" Zhao Wangshu asked.

"You want me to go?" Yun Hao took off his robe.

Zhao Wangshu nodded, "Lin Yun deserves to die."

"Okay, I will find a way to go to Jiangnan." Yun Hao reached out and hugged her into his arms, "Then will you miss me?"

"I started missing you before you left." Zhao Wangshu snuggled into his arms and smiled.

Yun Hao smiled softly, lowered his head and pressed a gentle kiss on her forehead, "I will miss you too, every moment of every day."

The next day, Hao Shi submitted a report, pointing out that Lin Yun had colluded with Jiangnan salt administration officials to sell private salt for profit.

The emperor knew that there was enmity between Hao Shi and Lin Yun, but he did not question Hao Shi's accusations in order to frame Lin Yun. He summoned several ministers and said, "My dear friends, look at what Hao Shi has done." Zhezi, what do you think?”

An old minister came forward and took the document respectfully. After reading it, he handed the document to another minister and said, "Your Majesty, although the evidence listed in this document is detailed, I'm afraid it alone is not enough to convict."

"Your Majesty, the former Prince of Xiangzheng County is now living in seclusion in the palace and cannot go out at will. I think he is afraid that he does not have such extraordinary abilities and colludes with the officials of Jiangnan Salt Administration." One of the ministers said.

"Master Cao, just because you are incompetent does not mean that the former Prince of Xiangzheng County is incompetent."

After several ministers argued for a while, they came to the conclusion, "Your Majesty, I think we should first send someone to Jiangnan to verify the authenticity of these evidences. If the situation mentioned by Mr. Hao does exist, then we can investigate the former Prince of Xiangzheng County and It is not too late for the officials involved to convict.”

The emperor nodded slightly, "Who would be more appropriate to send to investigate?"

"I think it would be more appropriate for the Long Tingwei command to investigate the case, Mr. Yun, and the Minister of Justice, Mr. Xu."

The emperor raised his lips when he heard this proposal. Don't think he didn't know that Yun Hao and Xu Kang were friends with Hao Shi. However, Yun Hao and Xu Kang had always acted fairly, so he was not worried that they were biased towards Hao Shi, but he did not want to accept the proposal so quickly, "You guys, please stand down. I will think about this matter again."

After sending away these ministers, he summoned Yun Hao and showed him the document, "I want you to investigate this matter. Are you willing?"

"It is my duty to share your Majesty's worries." Yun Hao returned the fold to the chamberlain.

"You have just been married not long ago, and you are traveling far away. Aren't you afraid that your wife will be angry?" The emperor teased him with a smile.

Yun Hao smiled slightly and answered calmly, "Your Majesty, my wife is reasonable and will not prevent me from going out to do business."

"Then get ready. In two days, go and investigate the salt administration in Jiangnan, and arrest all those who are corrupt and perverting the law for me," the emperor said.

"I accept the order." Yun Hao bowed and said.

After exiting the palace, Yun Hao asked his confidants to pass a message to Hao Shi, "In two days, we will set off for Jiangnan."

In the evening, Yun Hao also told Zhao Wangshu about this, and Zhao Wangshu said: "I will help you pack your luggage."

He also warned him, "Be careful on the road. If Lin Yun knows that you are checking on him, he will definitely attack you based on how ruthless he is."

"I'll be careful, don't worry." Yun Hao smiled.

That night, Yun Hao couldn't hold it back anymore, and started to nibble on his delicate wife. The couple asked for water twice, and they didn't go to bed until midnight.

Yun Hao and Xu Kang, who were called imperial envoys, left Beijing and went to the south of the Yangtze River on the pretext of inspecting salt administration and water transportation.

On the third day after they left Beijing, Zhao Wangshu, who had nothing to do at home, went back to his parents' home with gifts.

When Zhao Li saw her, she asked in surprise: "Why are you back?"

"Auntie, I haven't been back for so many days, why don't you miss me?" Zhao Wangshu pouted.

"There are mothers who don't want their daughters." Mrs. Zhao Li said with a smile.

The mother and daughter joked for a while, and then Zhao Wangshu asked, "Where is grandma?"

"Going to see Mrs. Fan." said Zhao Li.

Zhao Wangshu frowned and said, "Our two families have no contact with each other anymore. Why is Grandma still visiting her?"

"Old Mrs. Fan is dying, and I want to see your grandma one last time." Mrs. Zhao Li sighed, "After all, we have known each other for decades, and now that the time has come, your grandma also wanted to see her for the last time, so she went "

Zhao Wangshu didn't want to talk about this topic, "Mom, I'm going to see my sister-in-law and Youyou first. You tell my wife, I'll stay for lunch and ask her to cook something delicious for me."

"You greedy girl, you eat until your face becomes round, and you still want to eat." Zhao Li pinched her cheek lightly.

Zhao Wangshu held his face in his hands and said, "My mother was wrong. My face is not round."

With that said, he quickly went out and went to Song Yuanqu's yard.

When Zhao Wangshu walked to Song Yuanqu's courtyard, he heard Youyou's laughter from a distance, as clear and sweet as a silver bell.

Walking into the yard, I saw Song Yuanqu sitting at the stone table, holding a book of poetry in his hand, and Youyou was sitting in the armchair next to her, holding a wooden carved duck in her hand, and was enjoying playing.

"Sister-in-law, yoyo!" Zhao Wangshu shouted and walked over.

Song Yuanqu looked up and saw Zhao Wangshu, showing a gentle smile, "Sister-in-law, you are back."

Youyou also saw Zhao Wangshu. Although she hadn't seen him for many days, she still recognized Zhao Wangshu and smiled.
