The Landlord And His Wife - Chapter 222

    Shicheng’s remarks really stunned Liu Xuer! It’s so serious!

    When I think of Fengxian’s home, it is still peaceful, and even the joy of the New Year has not passed, Liu Xuer’s heart is extremely heavy, after a long while, she said: “Shicheng, this matter… Will it happen? Involve us?”

      The only thing that is unbearable is her third uncle Liu Changgui, but Liu Changgui is also a sinister person, and he has ignored his grandmother for so many years. It will definitely be sad and unbearable.

    So, the first question she asked was whether she would be implicated. There are several people in a family. If they were implicated…the consequences would be unimaginable!

    Shi Cheng nodded and said: “After I know the whole thing, the first question I asked was the same thing. The lord said that as long as we really have nothing to do with it, it won’t affect us… This is also the investigation. .”

    Liu Xuer’s heart loosened, then tightened again: “Check? Isn’t this…”

    Shi Cheng already knew where she was thinking, got up and stood in front of her, then squatted down and put her eyes in her eyes, looked at her and said softly: “Xu Er, this has happened, We want to get out of the way without hurting a bit of fur. That’s impossible… We are a husband and wife, a husband and wife of two lifetimes. I have never concealed anything from you, and I have never told you anything, half hidden and half hidden. .”

    Liu Xuer’s nose was a little sour, she nodded: “What do you want to say, just… say it.”

    “As long as the officials say, we can only believe half of them or not. As people, I know best that I will not say it to death, even if we are likely to be implicated in this matter, Maybe they have already been implicated, but they won’t say it… At least they won’t say it now, and they will wait until we take action to show respect and respect to a certain extent, and then it is possible to tell us… “

    Liu Xuer is also a person who has seen the world. In the past, it was not without danger when following Shicheng. It may have been more dangerous before, but she was not so worried at that time, mainly because… Now it involves a large family, and it affects the whole family, three clans and nine clans… She really can’t stand this.

      , this time I will also say, I promise to do my best to protect our whole family, those who should not be harmed will not be harmed, and other people who break the law, I will not care, and I will not care, but the family members, I promise Take care.” He looked down at her and raised his eyebrows: “Huh?”

    Liu Xuer felt a little bitter, but she still smiled: “Okay, I believe you can do it.”

    Shi Cheng smiled and patted her: “Well, good daughter-in-law.”

    Liu Xuer leaned in his arms, eased her emotions, then left his arms, sat down and said: “I’m better… This matter really needs to be discussed carefully, Just be careful. Well… as long as you work together, it’s not a big deal to minimize the damage even if you get involved.”

    Shicheng smiled and nodded.

    Liu Xuer asked again: “Then why did the adults tell you to go, just to tell you these things in detail? What else did you say? Since those people have been arrested, why did you ask you to go? ?”

    Shi Chengdao: “I’m really not sure about this point… Call me and ask me about the examiner’s situation, and why I didn’t go to take the Jinshi examination this year, the Spring Festival should be in February The exam period, I should be in the capital at this time. I was quite puzzled when I heard that I didn’t want to take the exam, and asked me what I was thinking, and then… I asked about the situation at home, mainly Liu Changgui’s family and Liu The relationship between the Yun’er family and us… But these words are not much, and then they start to talk about what happened. “

    Shicheng said while thinking about it, and finally added: “And he told me about the smuggling in detail without me asking in detail…”

    Liu Xuer said suspiciously: “That’s for money…Isn’t it clear?”

    Shi Cheng thought for a while and said: “When I came back, I thought about it all the way, maybe when they got the file and started to investigate Liu Changgui and these people, they already found out, Liu Changgui and we have not been in contact for a long time. , we should not be involved… The reason why I was called, one is to contact me or Moriko… We both won the election, they are people in the officialdom, and the most obvious is that they are already able to become officials. , even if you don’t pass the exam, you can spend some money to donate to an official… Of course, this is based on the fact that Moriko and I are both willing to serve as officials.”

    Liu Xu’er nodded: “I want to win over people! Let him find his subordinates in the officialdom first!”

    Shi Cheng nodded: “Yes, find him an accomplice in the officialdom…but not necessarily for himself, these people are all connected from top to bottom, and they also stare at every place. The imperial examinations, the juzi who passed the examination, began to win over local officials like them.”

    Liu Xuer nodded: “Well, yes, then I knew that neither you nor Moriko wanted to be an official, so I set my sights on the other one… You are both in business and rich.”

    Shi Cheng nodded: “Yes, it should be like this… They have already determined that we have nothing to do here, but they still told me to go, obviously to wake me up, in fact, why not warn me! I’m ready for silver!”

    He paused, and then added: “One more thing, I don’t think they want to turn their back on me… I mean, they are too greedy for money, so they turn their face, they should I won’t do that step…I want to maintain me for a long time.”

    Liu Xuer nodded: “Maintain you, you are a long-term cash cow, and you need money to come.”

    Shicheng nodded: “That’s it… So far, this is the possibility I can think of.” After thinking about it, he spread his hands: “But Xuer, this is our guess based on past experience. Yes, maybe… guessing completely wrong, it is also possible, you should understand this, the officialdom is unpredictable, and the people’s heart is equally unpredictable. Why did the yamen send a well-armed yamen to call me, but he told me such a thing. Zong Da case, and then called me back without asking anything… These are a bit weird, I have to think about it slowly.”

    Liu Xuer ‘um’: “I know, I won’t act rashly.”

    Shi Cheng laughed immediately: “I’m not worried that you act rashly… You are not an ordinary woman, of course I know you, I still don’t want you to worry too much.”

    Liu Xuer sighed, can you not worry? She didn’t say this, but just asked: “When I entered the door, I saw that my father’s face was extremely bad… Is he very unhappy? After all, this matter is our family’s business, but it has troubled you?”

    Shi Cheng hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, “Yes,” he stretched out his hand and swirled gently on her face, his eyes also focused on her face: “Xu Son, I still say that, we must be filial to our parents. However, the relationship between the two of us is incomparable. The most important thing in my heart is you, you don’t have to worry about it. “

    “Well, I know.” Liu Xuer sighed and leaned against his arms.

    Shi Cheng hugged her, and then said softly: “It’s normal for Dad to be worried. I used to offend a prefect, and I almost couldn’t turn over. Dad was bitten by a snake for ten years and was afraid of the rope. In dealing with the government, there are some things that are too cautious. His black face is not for you to see, and it is not for you to make troubles. You don’t have to worry, on the parents’ side, let’s face it together .”

    “Yeah.” Willow Xuer agreed again.

      kneading. And Shicheng’s hand was whirling on her hair for a while.

    The two were thinking, when footsteps came from outside, and the maid pushed the door, but did not open it. Just now, Liu Xuer closed the door absentmindedly, and accidentally locked the door. She was startled and was about to get up to open the door when Shi Cheng already asked, “What’s the matter?”

    The maids outside probably didn’t expect them to lock the door, so they hesitated and said, “Yes… Madam, please come over there…”

    Shicheng is very smart and knows his own mother very well. As soon as he heard the maid hesitating and faltering, he understood that it must be the mother who ordered the maid to call Xuer over, and she had to take advantage of her not paying attention. You can’t say it in front of your own face.

    Shi Cheng shook his head, and Liu Xuer heard the report of the maid, she stood up immediately, and she was like a mirror in her heart! The mother-in-law must have heard the father-in-law say this, can the mother-in-law feel better? I feel that my son is implicated by someone from my daughter-in-law’s family! And this time, the father-in-law is probably not on his side, and he didn’t persuade him much.

    The mother-in-law wanted to call herself to reprimand, but she did not want her son to protect her, so…

    She walked out, Shicheng had already run two steps forward, and opened the door first: “Let’s go together!” Instead, he went out the front first, and then frowned and waved at the maid, the maid scared Gotta get back.

     Liu Xuer licked her lips to persuade him: “You know…mother-in-law doesn’t want you to know, don’t you make me… embarrassed?”

    “I won’t make you embarrassed.” Shi Cheng said: “In the past, let me make it clear! So that no one thinks that they have the right to blame you… I’ll give you a lesson today, and see things tomorrow. I didn’t solve it, so I felt unbalanced, and then I trained again, and then I still couldn’t solve it, and then I trained again? When will it be a head? This matter has to be made clear from the beginning!”

    He took her out and said, “Don’t worry, I know how to deal with it… Let’s settle down at home first, and then deal with the mess outside!”
