Everyone Knows I am a Good Man

After parting with Liu Shengyan, Ji Changze went straight back to the mansion. The original owner has experienced many years in the DPRK, but he has not only experienced the skill of a smiling tiger.

He was also known for his intelligence when he was young. Although he went on a crooked road later, his machinations were not inferior to others. Although the mistress of the mansion did not leave the house behind closed doors, she was still orderly after so long.

Anyway, no matter what they are doing in private, in front of the mansion master, they dare not relax at all.

The servant who was doing something saw Ji Changze and immediately put aside his work and saluted respectfully: "Master."

"Ok."

Ji Changze responded briefly and walked straight to one of the most remote courtyards in the mansion. This was originally an abandoned wood house. Back then, Miss Li Li Ziqian knew that her husband had "righteously killed her father". After returning from her hometown, she shut herself up. Here it is.

She refused to come out, only saying that she wanted to pray for her father. This kind of self-imprisonment was exactly what the original owner wanted, and she made an affectionate look on her face, and sent them to this yard with good food, drink and clothes, and only treated her as a wife. Brush affectionate. Human-designed tool man.

As long as you have to do superficial work, you will naturally do it well. Although this yard is remote and small, there are a lot of maids and servants. They are cleaned everywhere in order, and the door is tightly closed. Li Ziqian will not come out by herself and her husband is not allowed to go in.

So Ji Changze just stood outside the door, and asked the janitor who immediately saluted him carefully when he saw him: "Madam, is there food available today?"

"In return to the master, the madam has used the meal."

Ji Changze asked again: "What are you using?"

The janitor was taken aback, she couldn't understand this question.

She hurriedly lowered her head: "Sister Taohua went to the kitchen today, and the servants didn't see what the dishes were."

The big girl Peach Blossom next to Li Ziqian happened to hear a voice outside and came out to see. He happened to hear this, and hurriedly replied: "In return to the master, today my wife used quazi soup, five treasures, and three fresh soup."

"Well, just ate these few, no more?"

Taohua hesitated for a moment, and then answered: "This morning, Madam once said that she wanted to eat stewed venison, but the kitchen did not buy venison today."

Ji Changze, wearing a red uniform, raised his eyebrows and said coldly: "You are serving your madam in this way. If the kitchen is gone, send them to buy it. Didn't I say that Madam wants to give her what she wants?"

Taohua was frightened as she listened to his stern voice.

Knowing that the powerful master in the DPRK made a ruthless move, he hurriedly explained: "The slave and maid sent someone to buy it. It's just that many shops selling venison on Kitchen Road today do not have venison. Perhaps it is because the refugees are around the capital. That deer is very difficult to fight, many hunters have never caught it, the lady heard it, and said nothing."

Ji Changze listened, and said a few more words before leaving. Taohua looked at the back of her master, he was relieved, and turned back to the courtyard.

In the yard, Madam Xu, the wife's dowry, was standing in the yard carefully drying sweet-scented osmanthus by the sun. Seeing her coming in, she asked: "Who is here?"

"It's the master, I asked the lady what he had eaten."

Peach blossom stepped forward and followed to help.

Mother Xu saw that the sweet-scented osmanthus bloomed just right yesterday, and she said that the lady likes to eat sweet-scented sweet-scented osmanthus cakes before coming out of the pavilion. Today, she picked the sweet-scented osmanthus by herself, picked one by one, washed them, and placed them neatly on the sun. under.

While helping to choose the sweet-scented osmanthus, Taohua told Mother Xu about the matter just now: "Mother, you didn't see it. The master just heard me say that his wife wanted to eat venison but didn't eat it, and his face was very ugly. I was too scared to move. Later, when I said that I could not buy venison, the expression on the master's face eased. He also told my wife to be sick several times in previous years, and asked me to close the window and take good care of my wife. "

She was a little pleased for her wife: "I heard that the master is very prestigious outside, and he is a first-class figure in the court, but when our wife is here, she is so careful and considerate. After a while, I will go in and say to the wife, if the wife knows The master cares about him and her so much, he must be happy."

After hearing this, Mother Xu's expression changed slightly: "Well, Madam loves purity and doesn't like to listen to them. Just tell me these things, don't say it in front of Madam."

When Taohua entered the mansion, six years have passed since the incident. People outside may still be talking about it. In Ji Mansion, all the servants who knew about it were silent.

After all, all the subordinates who talked about this incident were beaten up and sold out. After a long time, some subordinates who would not leave the house like a peach blossom after entering the mansion will naturally not know it.

They only saw the master’s kindness and consideration to his wife, and the wife’s worshipping Buddha in the house all the time because of her weakness. Therefore, many people do not understand why the wife should treat such a person with such a cold appearance, powerful and powerful, and loving. her husband.

Mother Xu dried the sweet-scented osmanthus, and ordered someone to take out the books in the study to dry, and then do some needlework. When she was about to return to the house, suddenly there was a chattering little girl talking outside, and she frowned. Go out and reprimand you for a few words: "Well, why are you so loud, all day long, regardless of you, it's getting more and more unruly."

"Mother."

"Good morning, mother."

Although Mother Xu is strict on weekdays, she loves these little girls very much, so the little girls are not afraid of her. After saluting one after another, they smiled around and said to her:

"Mother, Huan'er just went to the kitchen to get hot water. I saw the chef in the kitchen chopping venison, so I asked him where the venison came from. Guess, where did the chef say the venison came from?"

Mother Xu said with a sullen face: "How do I know that there are hunters who have hunted and sold them in the mansion."

"It's wrong, it's wrong, mother, you must have never thought, the master said, this venison was hunted by the master."

Mother Xu was surprised: "Master?"

Her first reaction was not to believe: "Dead girl, even me and you? The master hasn't hunted for many years, so how can he hunt deer himself?"

"How dare I lie to the mother, don't you believe me, ask Fuquan next to the master, I just met him, he also personally told me that the master took him out on horseback, went straight to Xiaohushan, after seeing the deer , So far away, I shot to death with one arrow."

"Fuquan also said that the master was rushing to the deer, and he came back after shooting the deer. The master told me that the master personally sent the deer to the kitchen, and asked the kitchen to quickly prepare the stewed venison for his wife. Well, I must have heard that Madam wanted to eat venison in the morning but nothing happened. The master is really kind to Madam."

The little girls also followed the twittering with envy. They were many years old and young, but they were only thirteen or fourteen years old. All of them were energetic. Speaking, they could not be finished in ten days and eight months.

Mother Xu originally wanted to reprimand, but when she looked at their young and cheerful faces, she remembered the time when the lady was a teenager. At that time, the lady was so happy every day, how happy is she now? Nothing but lifelessness.

She sighed, ignored these little girls, turned around and entered the house.

Inside the room, Li Ziqian was quietly copying Buddhist scriptures with her eyes down. She was beautiful and fair-skinned. Although she is in her thirties, her face is not very old, but because she can't see the sun all the year round, her complexion is a little too pale.

"Madam, take a break."

Mother Xu handed her tea. Seeing Li Ziqian took the tea, she tentatively told Ji Changze about the deer hunting for her.

"The master has been consistent with his wife for many years. Just because the wife wants to eat venison, the master can go out and hunt the deer immediately. The slave and maid look at it. It's not like a pretense. Why not have a peaceful conversation with the master? Maybe it was back then. Is there a misunderstanding?"

Seeing Li Ziqian not speaking, she continued cautiously: "Madam should also think about Miss Leping. Although Madam Liu and Master Liu are very good to Miss Leping, don’t they still have an old lady? The master is the second grade in the middle school. Ms. Leping lives under the hands of the old lady of the Liu family, how can she be with the old lady?"

"Okay, don't say anything."

Li Ziqian finally spoke, and said lightly: "Mother has a bad memory, I am afraid I forgot. Leping is a child of Liu family, how could he come to live in my house."

Madam Xu sighed: "Madam, acting as a slave servant is indeed a treasure to his wife. The husband is in her thirties. You shouldn't just sit in this small courtyard like this. Just let yourself go."

She was watching Li Ziqian grow up, and said something against the rules. In her heart, Li Ziqian was like her own daughter. Seeing that the once innocent and happy young lady was now torturing herself, she felt uncomfortable.

Mother Xu also hates Ji Changze, hates him for betraying their old man like that, but no matter how much she hates, life is still going to be passed, Li Ziqian's best years have been passed here, she doesn't want to be a quirky lady like this for a lifetime Trapped in the small courtyard.

These words, Li Ziqian knew she was doing her own good, but she didn't want to listen.

"I'm tired, mother go down."

After speaking, she lay straight on the couch, and after hearing a sigh from Mother Xu, the door closed gently.

She was the only one left in the house again.

Li Ziqian opened her eyes and looked at the carved flower above Babu's bed.

This babu bed was made soon after she was born. On the day of her marriage, this bed came to Ji's house with the dowry. Perhaps this bed was just a bed when her father was alive, but when he died with grievances and anger, he saw With this bed, Li Ziqian thought of her father.

How can I let it go?

Ji Changze, her husband-in-law, she regarded as the person who would go down together in this life, stood in the court and joined the ranks of her father who had wronged her. His father's life became notorious.

How could she, how could she let it go.

As for bringing Leping around, Li Ziqian didn't even think about it, she was really scared, she couldn't see through Ji Changze.

Why can he show his affection and love for her, respect and trust his father, and also say that his father is just like his own father, and every word is sincere.

What kind of scheming is it to pretend to be like this for ten or twenty years to deceive her, deceive her father, and deceive the world.

Only a month ago, she received a letter from Ji Changze, saying that she missed her, and she was worried that she would have to be in her hometown alone after her belly was so big, so affectionate, so caring.

How sweet and happy she was then.

One month later, he learned that the other party had slandered her father and intended to rebel.

But just a month.

Back in Beijing, Li Ziqian yelled heartbreakingly when facing Wen Yan's persuasion and trying to tell her father that her father was really rebellious.

Ji Changze knew clearly that his father could not rebel.

She knows what he knows.

At that time, looking at the person who was always gentle and tolerant of her, Li Ziqian suddenly had a terrible thought. Maybe it was not that Ji Changze had changed, but that he had never changed. Even now, his disguise has not been removed. Have come down.

Such a person is terrible.

If the daughter is by their side, who knows if Ji Changze will still love the child on the front foot, and then abandon the child without hesitation on the back foot.

Li Ziqian calmed down at the thought of her daughter living in Liu's house and closed her eyes.

Think, mother don’t want you to live so much, as long as you are happy and safe.

Over there, as soon as Ji Changze entered the study, he saw Liu Shengyan's investigation data on the table.

The original owner is so powerful and keen to exclude dissidents. He naturally raised a lot of people under his hand. The investigation was ordered yesterday, and it has been found out today.

He picked up the investigation report and read it while eating fruit.

Although Liu Shengyan has been wronged since he was a concubine since he was a child, even though filial piety is the first in the Dawen Dynasty, his aunt can't stand up against his concubine.

The methods used in the inner house are not allowed to lack food and clothing. Whatever the precedent should be, otherwise, if it spreads out, the reputation of the aunt will also be ruined.

Even though Liu Shengyan’s family is detained in the mansion and not allowed to leave the sub-mansion, all of his salaries have been in the hands of his aunt in the name of filial piety, but on weekdays, his aunt will also bring a three-point smile when he sees him. Don't dare to leave a little "motherly heart".

Therefore, when the other party also values ​​reputation, Liu Shengyan is a big-hearted person. The crime he suffered from his aunt is not very serious (he thinks), but the living standard is a little harder, but the next one is okay.

It's just that he has a big heart, and he is also a male, and he doesn't care much about the sight of others. For the lady and children in his family, the nominal mother-in-law is especially difficult.

Liu Shengyan did not take a concubine, and one son and one daughter were born to Mrs. Liu. The eldest daughter Liu Leping is 16 years old, and the youngest son Liu Lean is 11 years old. Liu Lean is okay. He has to go to school, and he rarely meets with Liu’s old lady on weekdays. get along.

Mrs. Liu and Liu Leping are not good. As juniors and female relatives, they have to go once a day just to ask for an announcement. Generally, when you go out as guests, you have to ask the old lady first. If you go to an ordinary house, it’s okay. What kind of honorable people, it must be the granddaughter of a few old ladies in the fortress.

It's like this when I go out. It can be seen how it is in the back house on weekdays.

The mother and daughter are now in a situation where they "have a lot of hardship, and no, but say that they have not been wronged, not really, get angry, it's all small things that don't happen, don't get angry, and feel aggrieved."

The old lady relied on filial piety, and she could barely make sense in doing things.

There is a new cloth in the house, which is good-looking and suitable for young girls. She gave her favorite granddaughter, and finally the good-looking cloth was finished, only the color was dark and unsuitable for the young girl to Liu Leping, which is quite normal. ?

When going out as a guest, always praise your favorite granddaughter, and then use that kind of child-loving language to say something softly:

"Our Leping child, everything else is fine, but his temperament is too boring. On weekdays, it’s a long time without saying a word. Look, she thinks her sisters can’t speak or play with them. It’s true. A child."

Not communicating with others, getting along with sisters is not good, and having a childlike temperament may not matter to a man, but putting it on a woman who has not been out of the cabinet is simply discrediting her.

By the way, the old lady always said it with the loving attitude of her elders, and Liu Leping couldn't refute it, but could only tolerate her.

Mrs. Liu was not a disadvantage. After learning about it, she immediately followed the old lady's appearance, behaved like an old lady, and "inadvertently" talked about the small shortcomings of the old lady's granddaughter when she talked to others.

After she came for a while, the old lady was barely able to stop.

People were asked to investigate Liu Shengyan, and Liu Shengyan occupies one page in the information, and the rest were all the mess of the nest in his mansion.

Ji Changze watched it patiently, and only felt that it was fortunate that Liu Shengyan was short-sighted, otherwise he would be replaced by someone else and grew up under the hands of such an aunt, and he would not be depressed by this kind of secret rubbing.

That is Liu Shengyan.

Stupid, when he was young, the old lady said to him that if something was not true, he could just ask it out, so that his aunt could not come to Taiwan, so he could only give up this trick in the end.

But he is a male, so he is different from a woman who pays more attention to fame.

Ji Changze knocked on the table.

Liu Leping is his biological daughter.

However, Liu Shengyan certainly did not know that the child was Ji Changze.

It should be known that she is not her biological daughter, otherwise she cannot do anything about her "boudoir" when she is not yet half a year old and is still a naughty doll.

After thinking about it, he still felt he had to figure out whether Liu Shengyan knew or not.

Liu's small courtyard.

Liu Shengyan looked around at the name written on the letter.

That's right, because he stepped on Ji Changze's shoes, this guy found a petty official who avenged himself.

Ji Changze took the person away and asked him to rescue the person again. What is this tossing about? It's still so mysterious, according to his current status, it is not easy to save a person, and it is no problem to transfer back to the capital directly.

Liu Shengyan is okay in doing practical things, but thinking about these things is not enough.

He couldn't figure it out after thinking for a long time. It was really nothing. He left the study and went to the door of the girl's room. The door was open. He stood in the yard and shouted to the inside: "Leping, come out."

Although nowadays the defense against men and women is not as strict as the previous ones, it is normal for parents and brothers to enter the female boudoir, but Liu Shengyan has never been in, even if he is looking for a daughter, he would rather stand in the yard and shout.

Especially after changing into night clothes at night, even if he has something to do, he will always send the girl away, and he will never see his daughter at this time.

The girl waiting inside heard it, and hurriedly said to Liu Leping who was practicing calligraphy: "Miss, the master is calling you outside."

Liu Leping put down the pen and went out: "Father, what's the matter?"

"Father ask you, if there is someone, he..." Liu Shengyan Barabala said: "So you think, why does he do this?"

Liu Leping listened carefully, thought about it, and said with uncertainty: "If it's really like Dad's, that person deliberately chased people away, and then quietly saved people. Since that person is very powerful, if the family of the person who was driven out spends money With money to buy peace, he will definitely not act in such a secret, perhaps, there is a hidden secret behind driving people away in the first place."

"If it is true as Dad said, that person's reputation will be repaid, and if he hates the other person, why not use other means and just rush to the distance? So the daughter thought, maybe it is the person who is in trouble and drove him away. Knowing this, I just found an excuse to send him away. If it is a person in the court, dad can think about whether there is any major event in the court that will affect the person during the time that the person was driven away."

"event……"

Liu Shengyan thought for a while, and it really made him think of one.

During that time, an official in Zhanxi was greedy for money, fish, meat, and common people. There was a lot of grievances and riots. Someone mentioned that the official who was in office before was very good, and that official had served as an official next to the elder prince. , So the topic turned to how the eldest prince was doing well.

Someone tentatively persuaded His Majesty to release the prince from the court, but his Majesty became angry directly. The man was dismissed and the officials who were close to the prince were unlucky.

That little official seemed to be working under the eldest prince.

"It turns out like...cough cough cough... I mean, I thought of it a long time ago for my father, it's just a test to test you."

It suddenly dawned on him, but he still wanted to act like he had expected it a long time ago: "Okay, it's okay, you can go back to the house."

When Liu Leping returned to the house, he couldn't hide his excitement. He walked quickly back to the main house and said to Mrs. Liu who was cleaning her hands: "You said, why is our daughter so smart."

"Follow me, definitely follow me."

After saying this, he himself found that something was wrong. Liu Leping was not his biological person. After their child died, his wife was in grief. He happened to pick up the baby girl and brought it back to raise him. Everyone keeps this matter secret, lest Liu Leping knows that he is not his own sadness.

They weren't biological, so how could they follow him.

So Liu Shengyan quickly changed his words: "I am still influenced by being a father."

On the roof, Ji Changze straightened up after listening to the conversation between husband and wife.

Sure enough, Liu Shengyan knew that his daughter was not biological.

Having helped him raise his daughter for so many years, he has sacrificed himself and gave his daughter great self-confidence in terms of IQ.

Good people.
