First Empress Merchant

Chapter 10
"This matter has come to an end here. There is no need to mention it in the future, and don't think about it anymore! Shibo knows that you are not in good health, so he will ask Yingying to stay with you for a few days. Your daughter's family is here Let’s talk about ourselves together.”

"Shishi can be taken care of by Shibo, it is a blessing that Shishi has cultivated for several generations, and Shishi can't repay it." Lu Lishi felt dizzy when she heard the name, but she still bit the bullet and thanked him. After all, Zhang Shizhong wanted to let Liu Shi knew she was covered by someone.

Speaking of Zhang Yingying, the memory of the original owner told her that she was Zhang Shizhong's youngest daughter and the only one, so she was a bit arrogant, and she was one year younger than her, and she was the daughter of an official family, so she would rather fight Liu's than marry him. Deal with that lady.

"Stupid child, I'd like to take a rest, and ask your father on behalf of Uncle..."

"My lord! This subordinate has something urgent to report to you!"

Before Zhang Shizhong finished speaking, he saw a man dressed as a guard rushing in, looking very anxious.

Lu Lishi took two steps back consciously, and asked the guard to whisper to Zhang Shizhong, but after Zhang Shizhong listened to what the guard said, she found that he not only changed his face, but also looked at her with a very complicated look. There was a bad premonition in her heart.

After Zhang Shizhong waved away the guards, he walked into Lu Lishi again, "Shishi, Shibo has something important to do, so I won't stay any longer. You... If you have anything to do, ask someone to send a letter to Shibo."

Lu Lishi owed her body, "Shishi knows, Shishi will send Shishi to Uncle!"

Seeing that Zhang Shizhong was about to leave, Mrs. Liu also pulled Liu Yangming to salute, "Send it off, my lord! Go slowly, my lord!"

After Zhang Shizhong left the Lu Mansion with all the guards, the aura of Liu's mistress immediately returned, "Come here, help uncle and master go back to his room to rest."

"Sister, this person is gone, you still pretend..." Liu Yangming is a typical master who has healed his scars and forgot about the pain. He just wanted to vent his anger on Lu Lishi, but was scolded by her.

"Shut up! Why don't you go back and be honest!"

Liu Yangming was instantly deflated by the scolding, and his servants carried him back on a stretcher, but before leaving, he gave Lu Lishi a deadly look.

Seeing Liu Yangming being carried out, the Liu family also went out, but stopped again just before the door, "Don't be complacent, the humiliation I suffered today will be repaid twice every day! Let's see what it is Who will have the last laugh!"

"Erniang, go slowly, sorry for the inconvenience of seeing Shishi off." Lu Lishi bowed her head, turned around and went back to her room after speaking.

She is not in the mood to talk to Liu Shi at all now, and her mind is full of Zhang Shizhong just looking at her.

What exactly did the guard say to him?Why did he look at her like that?And what did his last sentence mean?Did he know that something was going to happen in the future?If something happened, how would she respond?
Want to know who Zhang Shizhong is?He is an official, Minister of Rites, what can change his face?Could it be that and... Lu Lishi didn't dare to think about it anymore, no, she wanted to!She has to find a way to get out of her body!

Looking at Zhang Shizhong again, since he came out of Lu's residence, he has been walking all the way, and after a street, he flashed into a very expensive three-story restaurant, and went straight to a certain VIP room on the top floor.

When he saw the handsome man in the purple robe sitting in the room, he immediately bowed respectfully and said: "My lord...my lord, I didn't know you were here, so I kept you waiting for a long time, my lord Damn it!"

The man in purple sized up Zhang Shizhong, then smiled slightly, "Master Zhang, please sit down."

"Yes!" Zhang Shizhong saluted again, then sat down nervously.

The man in purple took a sip of tea elegantly and said quietly: "How long has Mr. Zhang been in the capital to take office?"

There was a thud in Zhang Shi's center, "Master Hui, I have been serving as Minister of Rites for six years, and it has been six years since I came to the capital."

"Oh, I remember that Mr. Zhang's hometown is in the belly, right? It is said that it is a beautiful place with beautiful mountains and rivers. In the past six years, has Mr. Zhang visited relatives at home?" The man in purple said while playing with the jade pendant in his hand. Be careless.

But Zhang Shizhong broke out in a cold sweat when he heard this, swallowed his saliva and said: "Master Hui, the hometown of the lower official is indeed in the stomach, and he has not been back once in the past six years because of his busy work."

The man in purple was surprised when he heard that, "Tsk tsk, Mr. Zhang has been really exhausted these years, how about giving you a month's vacation and taking your wife and children home to visit relatives?"

Zhang Shizhong raised his head abruptly in shock, "Your...Young master, are you serious? Did the lower official do something wrong?"

The man in purple smiled and shook his head, "Master Zhang is too worried, in fact, this is the case. There is a small object that I fancy, and it is said that it is in my belly now. I can't trust others. Only Master Zhang can fetch it in person." , by the way, how good would it be to take a vacation to visit relatives? What do you think, Master Zhang?"

"When does the young master ask the next official to leave?" Zhang Shizhong sighed silently, he had already talked about this, what else could he say?
The man in purple smiled again, "Tomorrow."

"Yes, I know. I will bring my family back to visit relatives tomorrow, and I will return to Beijing on time in a month to resume my job." Facing the bottomless eyes of the man in purple, Zhang Shizhong had no choice but to accept his orders.

If he hadn't been completely sure about this person's intentions before, but before contacting him, he was arrested by him when he was still in the Lu residence, and now the Lu residence is experiencing troubled times. To be honest, his friendship with this person is not very good on weekdays. But he still wants him to go back to his hometown at this time, and he is still in such a hurry, why is this?There is no need to ask at all.

Guizhi, if the glory you have earned through hard work for half your life is just an ordinary family fight, he would be willing to help, but who would have expected... I hope to forgive others for their meager strength, it is really powerless!And that kid... hey!

"Xin'er, did you run into any trouble going out today?" Lu Li Shiben paced back and forth in the courtyard, and looked outside the courtyard frequently. As soon as he saw Xin'er coming back, he immediately grabbed her hand and dragged her into the room, waiting After entering the house, he closed the door.

"Miss..." Xin'er raised her empty hand and pulled it, she wanted to cry the moment she opened her mouth.

Lu Lishi threw the basket aside, only stared at Xin'er and asked nervously: "But you met those rascals again?"

A month has passed in the blink of an eye, but this month is extremely difficult for the master and servant, because Mrs. Liu completely cut off their food, and refused to let her take a good rest on the grounds of Zhang Shizhong. She was discharged from the hospital, which was equivalent to putting her under house arrest.

This is not the worst, at least Xin'er can go out, but the problem is that every time Xin'er leaves the gate of the Lu Mansion, a group of gangsters follow behind. No one would like the stuff, so no matter what Xin'er went to buy, those vendors would either raise the price to sky-high prices, or bluntly say they wouldn't buy it for her.
