Good morning Mr. Zhongtang

Chapter 23

Li Rongbao didn't go back to the mansion these days, it was because something happened in the court.

During the period when Eshan of the Nala family was the admiral of the Nine Gates, he accepted a total of 3 taels of bribes, of which 3000 taels were handled by Hedao through the Yamen.

This matter was reported by Li Zheng, the censor of Jiangnan Dao, who brought the account book evidence into the palace to beat him up. The emperor Longyan was furious, and put E Shan in the prison on the spot. He was the leader of the party and punished him. Once implicated, they will never be lightly forgiven. For a while, everyone in the court is in danger. The cabinet has convened all the military ministers to discuss since the day the incident happened, and ignored all the inquiries from various officials. It seems that they want to stop the matter outside the cabinet.

Li Rongbao was also quite implicated this time. He was summoned by the emperor from the cabinet to the palace night twice in the middle of the night. Nala's eldest son's wife, the two families have a close relationship, and above the court, the political opinions of the two families are exactly the same. This time, Nala's bribery case was uncovered, and Guarjia's family was once the target of cabinet surveillance.

As the son-in-law of the Guerjia family, Li Rongbao cannot escape being questioned. Fortunately, the Fucha family has always been independent and has been neutral among the parties for many years. It is not so easy to pull him off the horse.

After being sleepy at the military plane for more than ten days, I finally came back. I wanted to go to Mrs. Li to take a bath first, let her massage her back, and feel the sense of belonging from her.

Li Rongbao walked towards Li's courtyard non-stop. The servants followed with their heads down, but the more they walked, the more they felt that something was wrong. When they remembered to remind their master, Li Rongbao had already stepped into Li's courtyard.

Seeing the depression in the courtyard, Li Rongbao was stunned. After thinking about the past, he couldn't help feeling angry, and shouted loudly to the servants beside him:
"Go and call the eldest lady over here!"

The reason was E Shan's matter. Li Rongbao had already complained about the Guerjia family in his heart, so he naturally didn't want to see her more, so he finally escaped and came back, wanting to find a pleasant place to rest, but he has been resting for nearly ten years What didn't change suddenly disappeared.

Thinking of the matter when Mrs. Guerjia came to ask for instructions before he left the mansion, he had just finished arguing with Mrs. Li at that time, and he was very irritable. He wished to drive Mrs. Li as far away as possible, but it was just a momentary thought after all. Li Rongbao believes that what he has done these years has been obvious enough that even the servants of the Fucha Mansion understand the difference between him and Li. His people had been cleared away, and it was just... he couldn't stand it anymore.

It's like driving alone for more than ten days, and you are very sleepy. You want to go home and have a good sleep, but when you come back, you find that the bed at home is gone. Let him develop a anger that is difficult to vent.

The Guerjia family was hastily called out of Li's courtyard by the servants, and before saluting to Li Rongbao, he was scolded:

"You're out of your mind, right? It's not good for you to mess with anyone. Why are you messing with her? How many times have I told you that you can do whatever you want in this yard, but stay away from Mrs. Li!"

"..."

Guarjia was stunned by Li Rongbao's sudden anger. She was holding a Buddhist bead in her hand, and her gorgeous and exquisite clothes could hardly conceal her embarrassment at the moment. Among all the first wives, she is definitely the first.

The sense of humiliation was self-evident. She thought that even if she was just a concubine, the master shouldn't yell at her like this in public, and it was for a concubine's room.

Guarjia straightened his spine, and said to Li Rongbao with frowned eyebrows:

"My lord, my concubine made a mistake. What's wrong with me disposing of her as a concubine? What's more, when this disposition was made, you were present, and it was with your approval. Why is it now that I am alone?" wrong?"

Li Rongbao didn't want to talk to her at all, and asked in a nasty way:
"So you're saying it's all my fault?"

Guarjia kept the Buddhist beads in his hand on the ground, straightened his body and said to Li Rongbao:

"I didn't say it was your fault, it was all the fault of that bastard Li. She is a Han woman, and her father is just a Hanchen who has been a fifth-rank official for 20 years. In comparison, the Guerjia clan is Manchuria with a yellow flag, and my father is the Crown Prince Taibao, a first-rank official, why should she fight with me, and why are you angry with me because of that insignificant Han girl?"

Li Rongbao looked at Guerjia's mean face that had remained unchanged since he was young, and felt his mistake for the first time in his life. Perhaps it was his family background over the years that caused the current situation .

The Holy Majesty's attitude was already clear during the two night meetings. If he has nothing to do with the Guarjia family, then the world will be peaceful. If new evidence is found by the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Officials, then he is likely to have a relationship with the Fucha family. The Guarjia clan was implicated by Nala clan Eshan together.

Taking a deep breath, Li Rongbao decided not to pay any attention to the Guerjia family, turned his head, and said coldly at the same time:
"Stop talking, don't force me to divorce my wife!"

"..."

Although his words were not as powerful as when he shouted before, everyone present felt the great lethality of these words.

After hearing this, Mrs. Guarjia simply sat down on the ground in fright, and looked at the back of Li Rongbao leaving with an unbelievable expression. After experiencing this scene of the hero and heroine quarreling for a long time, everyone couldn't help but weigh it in their hearts, and finally , they all came to the same conclusion—is Mrs. Li going to be righted?
However, when everyone had such thoughts, Li Rongbao stopped on the way to the west courtyard of Li's family.

Not for anything else, just thinking of the recent events. Although the Fucha family was implicated by the Guarjia family and the Nala family, the culprit who caused this uproar was Li's father, Li Zheng, and suddenly felt He was full of contradictions, followed by boredom, and after thinking about it, he felt that going to Mrs. Li's place in such a mood probably ended up in a bad quarrel.

Originally, he just wanted to be clean and didn't want to quarrel with others, so he took back his steps and went out of the mansion instead.

In the evening, Tong Wanrou was sweeping the fallen leaves in the yard, and Mrs. Li was cooking dinner in the kitchen.

The courtyard door was suddenly pushed open, and Tong Wanrou saw Fu Heng walking in with a pale face, bleeding profusely between the fingers covering his right shoulder.

"what!"

With a scream, Tong Wanrou hurriedly put aside the broom, trotted over to help Fu Heng, and asked in bewilderment:
"Sanggong, how could you... How could you..."

Without waiting for Tong Wanrou to finish speaking, Fu Heng wrapped his arms around her shoulders, covered her mouth, and whispered in her ear:

"Don't be so loud, let's talk in the room."

As he spoke, he put all his strength on Tong Wanrou's shoulders, and the two staggered into the room.

Tong Wanrou supported him to sit on the edge of the bed, and hurriedly bent down to check his wound. The knife was cut right on Fu Heng's right shoulder, near the arm. Tong Wanrou saw the wound, and thought she had never seen so much. Bloody, she began to walk weakly, but the worry in her heart made her tell herself to hold on.

Unbuttoning Fu Heng's clothes together, Tong Wanrou fetched water and washed his wound with a clean towel.

"Don't worry, the wound is not too big, it's fine."

She was still strong at first, but after hearing Fu Heng's words, Tong Wanrou couldn't stop crying. Fu Heng also panicked when she saw this, and wanted to hug her regardless of her arm injury, but Tong Wanrou flicked her away. He drove away, holding back tears, and said to him:
"You don't move."

Fu Heng just sat obediently on the edge of the bed. After cleaning the wound, he revealed the true face of the wound and then bandaged it, but there is nothing in their house now, so Tong Wanrou had to tear a piece of cloth from the lining of her clothes, Then he sprinkled some of the golden sore medicine powder that Fu Heng carried with him, and then tied up the wound for him.

After helping him change into clean clothes, Tong Wanrou remembered to ask: "What's going on? Didn't you go to work in the city defense camp? How could you be injured?"

Fu Heng raised his left hand and helped her cheek. He didn't intend to hide it, and told her bluntly:
"This injury was not received in the city defense battalion, but to protect my grandfather."

Tong Wanrou was extremely surprised: "Grandfather?"

Fu Heng nodded, and decided to say to Tong Wanrou: "Yes. This time my grandfather went to Beijing to do a big event. He sued E Shan, the admiral of the Nine Gates, and said that E Shan took 3 taels of bribes. The yamen is not innocent, the emperor Longyan was furious, and ordered E Shan to be imprisoned on the spot. My grandfather is now under the enemy's back and forth. After he told me about it that day, I have been watching secretly. Zu came across an assassin on his way out of the post station to go to court."

Tong Wanrou felt thrilled just listening to it, and couldn't help asking: "Then how is grandpa doing now? Is he not injured?"

Fu Heng shook his head and replied: "No, my grandparents are now invited into the palace by the imperial guards to protect them. The emperor also guessed that after this incident, there will be villains who will harm the grandparents, so he sent guards to protect him secretly. Grandfather."

"It turned out to be like this." Only then did Tong Wanrou understand the cause and effect of the incident. Seeing that her brows were still furrowed, Fu Heng was about to comfort her, but she heard Li yelling outside:
"Wanrou, is Heng'er back? Come out and eat, the meal is ready."

"Oh, here we come." Tong Wanrou was about to go out, but Fu Heng stopped her and said to her, "Don't tell mother about my injury and the attack on my grandfather, lest she worry about it."

Tong Wanrou thought about it, if her mother-in-law knew that her grandfather was attacked and her husband was injured in order to protect him, she would definitely be more worried.

Then he nodded and said: "I see, I will go out and buy some gauze for you later. Can you not go to the city defense camp for a few days, you are hurt, I don't feel relieved to go out."

Fu Heng stood up and put his clothes back on neatly. Apart from his pale face, there was really no way to see where he was injured.

He shook his head to Tong Wanrou and said: "No, I still have to go to the city defense camp to avoid scaring the snake. Don't worry, this kind of injury is not serious for a martial arts practitioner, I just need to be more careful."

Tong Wanrou wanted to say something, but Fu Heng pushed her out.

"Okay, okay, let's go out, if you don't go out, mother should be suspicious of what good things we are doing in the room in broad daylight."

"..."

Tong Wanrou blushed and sighed, why does this person always speak so irritatingly.
