Wu'an, Zongzheng Mansion.

This is an institution that handles the affairs of the younger brothers of the public office and the family, and is also entrusted with the important task of assisting the monarch in offering sacrifices. Therefore, although it is not well-known among ordinary people, it is definitely a special existence in the three houses and nine government offices.

Although it is a sacred place for worship and worship, there are also many restrictions on the younger brothers of the official family.In fact, since the current Marquis Wei took office, there have been a lot fewer dirty things about the children of the official family.

But even so, the things that bothered Zongzheng Wei Hongsheng recently were much more than before.

The reason is that the person who was sent in by the monarch a few months ago is of course a poor woman.

In fact, if it is a matter of simply shutting in an individual, this matter is of course very simple, but if it involves a battle in the depths of the Taoist office, then the matter is not so simple.

"My lord, those people have gone too far, they actually let Mrs. Tan..." A servant in the lobby said with a serious expression.

With his eyes slightly closed, Wei Hongsheng just sighed, how could he not know what those people were doing.In fact, he has no position on this matter, but he will never take the initiative to get involved.

"Those people are beyond our control. They may be from the palace or from wealthy families..." Wei Hongsheng sighed. Although he felt pity in his heart, there was nothing he could do.

Moreover, all of this depends on Wei Hou's intentions, and only he can change all of this.

But Wei Hongsheng knew in his heart that his cousin was definitely the most ruthless person, so there was no need to count on him, so this was one of the reasons why he kept silent.

…………

In the depths of the Zongzheng Mansion, in a slightly old courtyard, a woman in coarse clothes was constantly washing the clothes in the basin.

Beside her, a more exaggerated image is that of a girl in coarse cloth, with a larger wooden basin in front of her, and a larger pile of clothes inside.

"Ma'am, these people are really too much, let us wash so many clothes..." The young girl chattered endlessly while cleaning.

Tan Ji sat on the same spot, she didn't stop what she was doing, she stopped after a while and said: "Lan'er, don't talk, otherwise those annoying people will come to disturb you again!"

Seeing Lan'er with dissatisfaction on her face, Tan Ji's face was also full of helplessness.Originally, she still had the will to die, but after entering the Zongzheng Mansion, she remembered that she had a son, and that has become her insistence on thinking now.

But later, Tan Ji found that it was not so easy to simply keep watch, and there would always be someone who would make her feel uncomfortable.

If it is said that it was a verbal sarcasm at the beginning, then some chores were arranged later, until it developed to what it is today.

In order to wait for her son to come back, these Tanji could bear it, and the only one who suffered was Lan'er.Therefore, Tan Ji could only be helpless about Lan'er's complaints.

While Tanji was in a daze, she heard a shrill female voice at the gate of the courtyard: "What are you doing, thinking you are in the palace? Do you want someone to serve you?"

"If you dare to procrastinate, you don't want to eat tonight's dinner..." At the gate of the yard, there was a woman with a ferocious face, dressed like a rough servant girl.

Tan Ji didn't reply, she was not good at getting in touch with this kind of people, talking too much would cause bad things; of course, she also looked down on this kind of people who pretend to be powerful.

But Lan'er quit, the little girl's temper has always been hot, but back then even Wei Wuji dared to contradict her.

"Old shrew, who are you yelling at?" Lan'er said angrily, and stood up holding the washboard beside her.

"You dare to yell at me?" The servant woman also opened her eyes wide, pointing at Lan'er with her hips crossed.

Lan'er's anger had been suffocated a long time ago, but now she exploded completely, picked up the washboard and rushed up, her momentum was incredible.

"What do you want to do?" The maid asked sharply, how dare this little maid resist her?
"Lan'er... come back..." Tan Ji also scolded, secretly blaming herself for not holding Lan'er.

Lan'er was still in the mood to listen to this, and when she got closer, she threw the washboard out, scaring the vicious servant girl out of the way.

Thinking that she had no chance of winning against Shang Huan'er, the maid yelled and cursed a few times, and then left cursing after putting down some harsh words. It seemed that she had gone to find a helper.

After Lan Er picked up the washboard, she walked back angrily, but unlike before, Lan Er drooped her head at this time, obviously she also knew that she had caused trouble.

"You have to change your temper, don't be so impulsive in the future!" Tan Ji didn't mean to blame, her tone was completely like the elders' instructing.In fact, Tan Ji really thought so, Lan'er had long been regarded as her daughter.

"Understood, ma'am..." Lan'er said in a low voice, apparently not taking Tan Ji's words to heart.

After a while, Lan'er finally said, "Ma'am, I might be really hungry tonight!"

After Tan Ji glanced at Lan'er angrily, she said: "You still said that this is not allowed in the future!"

"Oh……"

After answering like this, Tan Ji started to starch and wash the clothes again, but Lan Er stayed where she was, looking at those clothes with a face of reluctance.

But when Lan'er turned around, she found two men in black clothes and black cloaks standing at the door.Not only did these two people cover their bodies tightly, but their faces and heads were covered by a huge shirt and hat.

Coupled with the fact that they are hidden in the shadow of the gate, these two people look a little mysterious, which makes Lan Er feel a sudden shock.

But no matter what is mysterious or not, Lan Er subjectively attributed the future comers to those evil servants, that is to say, the other party has already recruited helpers.

After the silence for a while, the two dark shadows on the opposite side slowly walked in from the courtyard door, as if they were following a certain rhythm, so that people could not disturb the tranquility at all.

Tan Ji also raised her head slowly, and looked at the two figures approaching in the distance, which made her stop what she was doing.

The visitor was still the same as before, although he left the shadow of the gate, but the cover of the shirt and hat still made it impossible to see the face of the visitor, and the most conspicuous thing about the two of them was the bright white on the sole of their boots.

"Who are you guys? If you come here again, I'll beat you..." Lan'er picked up the washboard again and said.

Although on the surface she was very imposing, her visibly trembling little hands still revealed her fear.She is fearless, but it depends on who she is not with, and the two people in front of her are obviously not easy to mess with.

At a distance of one zhang from Tan Ji and the two, the two men in black finally stopped, allowing Tan Ji to see clearly the eyes in the gap between their shirts and hats.

"Who are you, do you know where this place is?" Tan Ji asked in a deep voice, her momentum changed, it still looked like the woman who had been bullied.

The other party didn't answer, and the scene was so awkwardly frozen, but Tan Ji asked again: "If you think our master and servant are easy to bully, then you are very wrong, I still have a son!"

Until now, Tan Ji was still full of hope for Wei Wuji, and when she said this, she was faintly proud.

The other party still didn't speak...

When Tan Ji was about to be born, she heard the leader call out in a low voice: "Qianlan..."
