Li Huaiyu, who was unaware of being treated as a weak point, stepped through the door with an air of nonchalance.

  "Huh? Lord Liu and Second Brother are both here?"

  Jiang Shen looked at her again, then at Jiang Xuanjin who was lying on the bed with a stiff face, and suddenly became confused: "Younger sister, whats going on?"

  "I just sent off the guest." Huai Yu walked over and sat down naturally beside the bed, turned her head to look at Liu Yunlie, and said with a smile that didnt quite reach her eyes, "Lord Liu has come to inquire about Your Highnesss injury?"

  For some reason, since fighting with Mo Ju, every time Liu Yunlie saw this Mrs. Jun, he felt tense all over, this was clearly just a gentlewoman, but the aura around her was very strong, somewhat oppressive.

  He stood up and cupped his hands together, saying: "I wont disturb you any further, sir. Take good care of yourself and rest well."

  "Leaving just after arriving?" Hua Yu stared at him with a smile, "Arent you and the lord bound by a life-and-death friendship?"

  The previous relationship was quite good, except on the court, all other places were called by name, now how is this, its actually become somewhat distant?

  Liu Yunlie bowed slightly and felt a bit awkward, then added: "There are still some matters to attend to, after Im done, Ill personally bring the tonic to you."

  "Thanks for your trouble." Jiang Xuanjin replied.

  Liu Yunlie walked out with a smile, but as soon as he turned around after exiting the door, his expression turned solemn. After walking a few more steps and feeling that there was no one around, he asked in a low voice to those behind him: "Where is the person who went to gather information?"

  Xin Fu hastily came up and whispered: "Shes already back, theres nothing good to hear about this Bai Si Miss, she was previously crazy and silly, later recovered, dont know why she got the Emperors favor."

  "What about her loved ones?"

  "The maid beside her is clever and lovely, and if she gets closer to the people of the White Mansion, Ive heard that Miss White II and several elders in the mansion often go to her courtyard to chat."

  The people of the White House? Liu Yunlie hesitated.

  No outsiders were left in the room, so Li Huaiyu asked Jiang Xuanjin with a smile: "Have you taken your medicine?"

  Jiang Xuanjin shook his head with a cold face.

  Jiang Shendao had already brought the medicine over and placed it beside him early that morning. "Just now there was a guest, I didnt have time to drink it, now is just right, take advantage of it not being cold yet, gulp it down in one mouthful."

  Hua Yu heard this and immediately handed the medicine over to him on horseback.

  Jiang Xuanjin lowered his eyes and said in a low voice: "Its hard to drink."

  "Which medicine tastes good?" Hua Yu raised an eyebrow, "Wait till you finish drinking and Ill pour you a cup of tea to rinse your mouth?"

  "No."

  "Whats needed? Honey? It seems there isnt any here." Huai Yu looked around, "Or shall we have some fruit to press down?"

  "No."

  "Then..." Huai Yu was at a loss, holding the medicine bowl and crying with laughter, "If it were in Jiang Fu, that would be fine. But on someone elses turf, when you want something and dont have it, cant you just listen for once?"

  "Brother and sister."

  "Huh?" Huai Yu turned her head to look at him.

  "Third brother is usually not like this." He directly exposed, "It seems that only in front of you, he will be extra spoiled and fussy."

  This is true, when Third Brother was ill before, he also held the bitter medicine and planned to coax him, but at that time, 17-year-old Jiang Xuanjin drank the medicine in one gulp, then calmly said: "I still have official documents to read."

  Banzhu Xiangs kung fu didnt go to waste after all, and he was swept out of Moju.

  Whats going on here? If someone else were to coax him, would he talk so much? Whats with this unhappy face that needs to be fed? Hes so spoiled, if those literary people in Kyoto who praise him as highly as Mount Fuji and the snow of the pines were to find out, wouldnt they have to swallow their words?

  Jiang Xuanjin gazed at him quietly and said, "I want to eat the sweet pastries from the west of the city."

  "Sweet cake?" Hua Yu hastily nodded, not caring what Jiang Shen had said before, and put down the medicine bowl to pay his respects: "Thank you, Second Brother, Im stuck here."

  "Huh?" Jiang Shen stared at the person on the bed, "You dont like sweet things, do you?"

  "I want to eat." Jiang Xuanjin murmured repeatedly.

  Hua Yu put down the bowl and pushed Jiang Shen out, handing him some silver coins while doing so: "Your wound is still hurting, just humor him a bit."

  "No, hes doing it on purpose!" Jiang Shen said with a mix of anger and laughter. "Sweet pastries are everywhere, why does he have to go all the way to Chengxi? Dont you think hes being too petty?"

  She paused for a moment, thought seriously with her head bowed, then shook her head: "I dont think so."

  "Huh?"

  "Whatever he does, I find it all adorable." She smiled brightly, beaming with joy, "I want to buy him all the sweets in Kyoto!"

  Jiang Sheng: "......"

  The door slammed shut, and Jiang Er Gongzi walked away without looking back, muttering to himself as he went: "No wonder they can get married, a small-minded iceberg paired with a dim-witted icebox, isnt that just perfect!"

  The ice box with a missing eye returned to the bedside and asked the ice cube: "Are you willing to take your medicine now?"

  Ice cube said: "My hand hurts."

  The wound on his arm was also deep, Huai Yu looked at it and still fed him the medicine by herself, one spoonful at a time.

  "Why is your complexion also so poor?" Jiang Xuanjin asked with a frown after drinking half of the medicine.

  Li Huaiyu was taken aback and said, "I wondered why I felt a bit dizzy. I was sick yesterday too. I got hit by a horse carriage on the street and slept through the night... Ah, what are you doing?"

  Jiang Xuanjins breath caught in his throat as he felt a sudden surge of energy at the Taiyang acupoint, and he pushed away her hand that was about to press down on him. He propped himself up and pinched her arm and shoulder, then said in a low voice: "Come here."

  "Huh?" Huai Yu looked towards the direction of the door, "Dont you care about your reputation anymore? What if someone comes in..."

  "Come on up!"

  “...Dont get excited.” Putting down the medicine bowl, Huai Yu took off her shoes and climbed over him to the inner side of the bed, removed her outer cloak and obediently covered herself with the quilt, "Im actually fine, I can run and jump."

  My lower body feels a bit weak and my head is a bit dizzy.

  Jiang Xuanjin reached out and touched her forehead, then touched his own, his face looking even more unsightly: "The same."

  "Isnt it good enough already?" Yuexi smiled, "It means Im normal, yeah."

  He gazed at her coldly and said, "My high fever hasnt gone down."

  Li Huaiyu: "......"

  She tore off the imperial edict and rushed over, all the way forgetting that she was ill, now her whole body relaxed, but her head really became more and more dizzy.

  "Ill take a nap first," she said. "I took medicine when I went out, and Ill be fine after sleeping for a while."

  Jiang Xuanjin didnt make a sound, only helped her tuck in the quilt and watched as she closed her eyes.

  This person... doesnt seem as foolish as he imagined. Reaching out to touch her temple, Jiang Xuanjins eyes were filled with doubt. Originally thinking she was a crazy and reckless vagabond, but which vagabond would dare say such things in front of so many high-ranking officials? With reason and evidence, sharp and bold, if not for those people being drunk and not paying attention, she almost won the debate against all the heroes.

  The Fourth Miss of the Bai Family has been foolish for many years... Has she really been foolish for many years?

  Yu Guang caught a glimpse of her casually placed outer robe on the bed, Jiang Xuanjin reached out to hook it and wanted to put it outside the bed. However, as soon as he grabbed the sleeve, a stack of paper ran out from the sleeve pocket.

  A sheet of Xuan paper with neat folds, like a painting, looks a bit familiar. Picked it up and unfolded it to take a look, Jiang Xuanyin narrowed his eyes.

  The two rough-looking little men were using the fourth picture she had drawn, a scene of the two making up. Hadnt she seen this painting before? If she had seen it, why was she still asking him to apologize? Did he really think she was wronged, while this person was secretly looking at him and laughing?

  He felt slightly displeased and folded up the painting, putting it away. He glanced sideways at the person sleeping beside him, suddenly wanting to pinch her.

  Second brother is right, if you want someone to listen obediently, there should be more people around him, making others care about him and fear losing him.

  He didnt master this move, but Bai Zhenyi did grasp the essence. If she were really a fool, would there be any smart people left in Kyoto? Jiang Xuanjin sneered.

  Li Huaiyu had no idea how long the person beside her had been staring at her, and when she woke up the next day, she only felt refreshed and invigorated, and as soon as she turned over, she hugged the person beside her.

  "Ah, Im still more used to sleeping with you." Embracing his uninjured arm, Huaiyu sighed, "When one sleeps alone and stretches out a hand to the side, its always empty."

  Jiang Xuanjin glanced at her: "The Qing Dynasty has long said these things, arent you afraid of getting a tongue-lashing?"

  "Dont be afraid!" She giggled and propped herself up to kiss the tip of his nose, "Im still more afraid that youll bite my tongue."

  Jiang Xueming: "......"

  Even patients need to be teased, its really shameless!

  The shameless Li Huaiyu got out of bed, washed and dressed. After putting on her clothes, she said: "Ill be staying here for a few days, Ill go back to the mansion and bring some clean clothes for you."

  This remark sounds reasonable, Jiang Xuanjin pursed his lips: "Let Yu Feng go with you."

  "Good." Huaiyu smiled and nodded, picking up a meat bun from the breakfast tray brought by Chengxu, and walked out with it.

  Ziyang Jun was trapped in the Tingwei Mansion and could not attend court, but outside, the world seemed unchanged. Li Huaiyu walked on, suddenly feeling a little worried.

  This man is so upright, how can the way of those people be good? Not attending court for a few days is a small matter, but not all the people in the court are idle, what to do if they take advantage of it to frame him?

  She used to wish him ill fortune, but now that theyre in the same boat, shouldnt she help him out?

  Just as I was thinking about it, suddenly there was a commotion in front of me, and many people squeezed out from the alley to the street, blocking the road.

  The old man looked ahead and saw the commotion, then turned to her and said: "Madam, lets take a detour, theres a gambling den up front, it seems like theyre causing trouble, its not safe to pass by."

  "Oh." Hua Yu nodded and didnt look further. The gambling den was always a bit of a trouble spot, but as long as no one got killed, the authorities usually didnt intervene.

  However, when she returned to Jiang Fu to pack her things and prepare to return to the Tingwei Fu, two white family slaves came to the door.

  "Fourth Miss, help us!" As soon as they saw her, the two house slaves came up and knelt down, "Quickly, help save our young master!"

  Holding Jiang Xuanjins favorite scripture, Li Huaiyu asked in confusion: "Whose young master?"

  "Our familys!" A house slave looked up and said, "Your cousin, the two young masters Bai, are now being bullied by others!"

  Bai Zhu Dis elder brother? Li Huaiyu was taken aback, the son of Bai Liu Shi and Bai Liang Shi, right? Last time she heard them mention it, one named Fu Sheng, one named Qi Lin or something, and they even wanted Jiang Xuanjin to help them get an official position.

  "They were bullied, what do you want from me?"

  "Look, the other side is not to be underestimated. Theyve invited a high-ranking official to put pressure on us. We dont dare disturb Master Jiang, so we can only come to the Jiang residence to look for Fourth Miss. I heard that Fourth Miss is highly favored by His Excellency..."

  "Whats next?" Huai Yu smiled and interrupted them.

  Jia Nu was taken aback, looked up at her with this attitude, and couldnt help but frown: "You... dont care?"

  "Why should I care?" She felt puzzled, "Are they very close to me?"

  "...its obviously not good, and even before, she wasnt bullied less."

  "Nothing more to say? Then get out of the way, Im in a hurry to take care of someone." Li Huaiyu dodged them and got on the carriage with the things in her arms.

  Two household slaves also wanted to speak up, but upon seeing the emperors stern expression, they immediately shut their mouths.

  This is really interesting, Bai Dezhong that old man is upright and honest, but the people under him are not good. Bai Xuanjis demeanor is learned, but her heart is not. These few White family cousins are even more useless, they cant pass the imperial examination and still cause trouble everywhere, its true that Bai Dezhong wants to beat them half to death with a ruler.

  She doesnt have a kind heart to help this group of people, so let her reap what she has sown.

  However, this time the two brothers of the Bai family have gotten themselves into quite a bit of trouble.

  In the evening, Huai Yu was telling a story to Jiang Xuanjin. Just as he got to "three monks carrying water fell into the river together", Cheng Xu walked in with a serious expression.

  "Madam."

  It was rare for him to open his mouth and shout "wife" instead of "master", so Huaizhong turned her head to look at him: "Whats wrong?"

  "Your two young masters have been thrown into the judicial prison."

  Jiang Xuanjin paused for a moment and asked sideways: "Whats going on?"

  "Today, early in the morning on Changan Street, the two young masters of the White family got into a conflict with someone and started fighting right there. The other party reported it to the authorities, and after being taken to the yamen for questioning, it was discovered that the two young masters had owed gambling debts and, in a fit of rage, fought with the people from the gambling den."

  "Is this really happening?" Jiang Xuanjin furrowed his brow, while Li Huaiyu beside him exclaimed in surprise: "No wonder he came to ask for my help! Who would have thought that such a big basket would be stirred up? If Old Man Bai finds out, it wont just be a beating to half death, but a direct killing!"

  Bai Dezhongs good name is about to be ruined by these two scoundrels!

  "Jiang Xuanjins eyes were complex as he said: Why dont you look worried at all?"

  "What am I worried about?" Yu Mei blinked her eyes, "Its not like Im going to gamble or fight."

  "What you said makes sense, but after all, she is from the Bai family. When something like this happens, anyone would think of ways to cover up for their own people and help them out of trouble."

  "Dont get any ideas." Huai Yu looked at him with this gaze and shook her head, "Dont even think about helping. Take care of yourself first!"

  As soon as she said this, Cheng Yu was shocked and looked at her in surprise.

  Hes right here, just ask him a sentence and this matter will be settled. The lady actually let him not help... what was she thinking?

  She didnt think much of it, Li Huaiyu simply didnt consider herself a member of the Bai family. After all, except for Bai Dezhong, no one else in the Bai family had ever done anything good for her, so why should she care about their misfortunes?

  However, she also underestimated the thickness of Bai Liangs face. Just as they were talking about it here, he actually went directly to the Court of Judicial Review.

  "Whats going on?" She closed the door behind her and frowned at them, "The master is recovering from his injuries and cannot receive guests."

  Bai Liang and Bai Liu cried so miserably, pulling her to the eaves of a nearby house, they said with tears streaming down: "You have to help this time, no matter what you say, you have to help!"

  Hua Yu smiled and leaned against the wall: "Isnt it just because of a fight that we ended up in court? This small matter, after being detained for half a day, would be let go, do you have to make such a fuss?"

  "Its not as simple as you said!" Bai Liu was so anxious that she stomped her feet, "Fu Sheng was cheated by the casino for 3,000 taels of silver! 3,000 taels! Now they say if he doesnt pay back the debt, they wont let him out of the big prison!"

  "If it could be solved, we wouldnt have come to find you." Bai Liangshi said in a hateful tone. "Do you think we enjoy being humble and submissive? Its only because weve reached the end of our rope!"

  This man finally spoke bluntly for once, and Huai Yu couldnt help but laugh: "But you guys came to me because youre at your wits end, I dont have the money to help them pay off their debts, nor do I have the ability to bail them out of jail."

  The two of them looked towards the tightly closed compartment door together.

  Li Huaiyus face sank: "Dare to disturb him, I have a way to make them spend the rest of their lives in prison, do you believe it or not?"

  Bai Liang covered her face with a handkerchief and burst into tears: "What do you want to do? De Zhong doesnt know about this yet, lets hurry up and settle it before things get out of hand. If the news gets out, who will be humiliated?"

  To be honest, hes not even the son of Bai De, so why would anyone lose him? Hua Yu rolled her eyes and stared at this White Liang for a while before suddenly saying: "You really want me to help?"

  "Nature!"

  "Thats good." Huai Yu nodded, "You go back to the White Mansion now and tell my father how you hid my dowry and caused me trouble. Give me justice, and Ill think of a way to help you solve this problem."

  Choked back a sob, Bai Liangs family stared at her: "At this time, you still care about the past?"

  Digging his ears, Huai Yu smiled coldly: "Youre the one whos harming people. Im the one being harmed, what face do you have to blame me for being calculative?"

  "You...!" Bai Liangshi was annoyed, turned her eyes and thought for a moment, gritted her teeth and said, "You help first, when Qilin and the others come out, Ill go apologize to Dezhong."

  "Still negotiating with me?" Yu Huan clicked her tongue, "Your son isnt even your biological child?"

  Its also her own flesh and blood, but if she were to go and ask Bai Dechong for forgiveness again, it would be very difficult. Given Bai Dechongs temperament, the last time he returned home was already strange, and he didnt even give her a chance to explain herself in the courtyard, now if she goes to talk about this again, she will definitely be driven out of the White Manor.

  Bai Liangs face was anxious, and after hesitating for a moment, he said: "Then Ill go talk to them now, you also start thinking of ways to rescue them right away, okay?"

  "Alright." Huai Yu nodded calmly.

  Bai Liang pulled Bai Liu and left.

  "Do you really want to go and talk to Dezhong about the dowry?" White Liu looked at her with tears in her eyes, unexpectedly.

  "Im stupid to say that!" Turning back, Yu Guang glanced at the person still standing in place and said with a hum, "First deceive her for a while, delay for a moment."

  Bai Zhen inserted his hand into the jade pendant. She then lifted out Zi Yang Jun and handed him over to the yamen, which also had to give them some face.

  The abacus was played too loudly and too obviously, so obviously that Li Huaiyu behind her yawned, glanced at them with a sideways glance, turned around and called out to Cheng Xu.

  "Do you know whats going on with the casino?"

  Its not necessarily possible to ask others about this matter, but since the master of his house has always been strict in his demands, Mu Xiang has always handled matters with care and attention to detail. Now that he was asked, he immediately replied: "Ive asked people from the gambling den, and some sharp-eyed individuals said that the two young masters Bai had encountered a thousand eyes, but if one hasnt been caught red-handed in the gambling den, theres no evidence, and even if its exposed, theyll still have to pay their debts."

  "Did it stir up some officials at that time?" Hua Yu asked another question, recalling what the house slave said when he came to find her.

  "Cheng Xiao nodded: At that time, Hu Biao, the middle-aged officer, was patrolling nearby and saw the crowd gathering on the street. He went forward to ask questions and had some conflicts with the two young masters of the Bai family."

  Is it Yi Yang again?

  Hua Yu raised an eyebrow, suddenly feeling a bit off.

  Others dont know. But Yi Yang has indeed helped Jiang Xuanjin in the past, and it was evident on the day of Princess Changs funeral that he both respected and feared him. So, knowing full well that the troublemaker is from the White family, and given the fact that the White family is related to Jiang Xuanjin by marriage, would someone who originally revered and feared Jiang Xuanjin directly throw members of the White family into prison?

  With Yiyangs nature of yielding to the wind and changing direction, it is clear that he should be suppressed first, and then come to Jiang Xuanye to discuss a good outcome!

  "Has Mr. Yi seen you recently?" she muttered to herself as she thought.

  Cheng Xiao replied: "Ive seen him before, Master came to the Tingwei Mansion, and it was he who led the men to escort him."

  Not "please", but "urge".

  Li Huaiyu was startled and her eyes suddenly lit up.

  Found it! Isnt this the same person who was good to Jiang Xuanjin before Dan Yangs death, but suddenly changed his attitude after Dan Yangs death and instead made things difficult for him?

  "Maam?" He was startled by her excited appearance and asked cautiously, "Is something wrong?"

  "Nothings wrong, its all right!" Hua Yu smiled with her mouth open, her eyes rolled around and she said with a smile, "Something big has happened in the White family, youd better go inform Master White quickly!"

  "What?" Cheng Xiao was taken aback, "Directly inform Lord Bai?"

  "Yes, tell him that two people from the Bai family owe money at the gambling den and have him thoroughly investigate, no covering up is allowed!"

  Cheng Xiao thought the lady might have gone mad, and hastily comforted her: "Its not that serious, milady. This matter has nothing to do with Lord Bai, why drag him into it?"

  "Whats wrong with that? Theyre all Whites! As the head of the family, he should set an example of not helping relatives, otherwise how can these children be managed in the future?" Li Huaiyu waved her hand solemnly, "Go quickly!"

  Chen Yus face was filled with shock and he nodded after a long while.

  Jiang Xuanjin was leaning against the headboard in deep thought when Liu Yunlie suddenly came over.

  "Huh? Wheres Madame?" He hadnt seen Bai Zhuji enter and was slightly surprised.

  He glanced at him and Jiang Xuanjin said: "Outside."

  "Alright, I have something to ask you," said Liu Yunlie. "Two people from the White family are locked up in prison, do you want to think of a way to get them out?"

  Jiang Xuanyin looked at the person in front of him with a complex expression.

  Wouldnt the upright and unyielding Liu Yunlie come to ask him about this kind of thing one day? According to his usual temperament, shouldnt he act according to the law and not talk about human feelings at all?

  "Dont get me wrong." Liu Yunlie sighed, "I just think that as friends, you care so much about your wife, its not good to see her family suffer like this."

  "So?" Jiang Xuanjin sneered, "Let me abuse my power for personal gain?"

  "How could you think that?" Liu Yunlie frowned in confusion, "Its just a human relationship, why mention this word?"

  He glanced around the room with a cold and indifferent gaze.

  Liu Yunlie lowered his eyes: "Even if its said that Im using my power for personal gain, thats a crime I should bear, and I wont harm you. The name list of those entering and leaving the prison is in your nephews hands; if you want to let someone go, just have him sign the name, and Ill approve it."

  Jiang Yan happened to be serving as the Left Supervisor of the Court of Judicial Review, so for Jiang Xuanjin, this matter really only required a lift of his hand.

  Just then, Bai Zhen came in from outside.

  Liu Yunlie turned his head to look at her, rarely with a hint of a smile: "Ive seen you before, madam."

  Seeing him coming, Li Huaiyu raised an eyebrow, his eyes slightly moving, and immediately repressed his smile, bowing his head: "Greetings, sir."

  Liu Yunlie looked at her and then at Jiang Xuanjin on the bed, asking: "While were at it, madam, would you like to go take a look at the prison?"

  Visiting prison? Huai Yu looked at Liu Yunlie twice and found that this person seemed to have misunderstood something, really thinking that this Bai Si Miss was very close to those two cousins in the prison?

  Li Huaiyu paused for a moment, then immediately put on an expression that had been pierced by heartache, pinched her handkerchief to wipe away non-existent tears, and let out a long sigh: "No need to look, whats there to see? Itll only bring trouble and worry."

  "Madam doesnt have to say it like that." Seeing her reaction, Liu Yunlie hastily said, "The two Young Master Bais didnt commit any great mistakes either."

  Not having committed any great crime, yet being caught and brought to the Tribunal of Justice, and even having one of the Three Dukes, the Duke of Justice himself come over to talk? And also allowing her to visit him in prison voluntarily?

  Hua Yus heart was secretly laughing, but her face became even more sorrowful: "I havent committed any great wrongs, yet as their sister, I couldnt save them either. Where would I get the face to go see them?"

  Jiang Xuanjin looked up at her with a puzzled expression, just in time to catch the eye signal she sent him: Come on! Lets put on a big show!

  What does this mean? He was very inexplicable, and Liu Yunlie beside her also looked over along her line of sight.

  "Sir," he said, "with madam so grieved, can you bear it?"

  Crying so fake, where can you see that shes heartbroken? Jiang Xuanjin muttered to himself. He glanced at the person who was squeezing his eyebrows and rolling his eyes, and pursed his lips. In the end, he cooperated and opened his mouth: "The two young masters of the Bai family are guilty and deserve their punishment, and she herself is also clear about it."

  Liu Yunlie shook his head: "Its clear that its clear, who would want their own brother to stay in prison forever?"

  "Master Liu......" Huai Yu choked, looked at him with gratitude, then turned her head to look at Jiang Xuanjin, her eyes full of grievance and anxiety, even the hand holding the handkerchief was trembling.

  Jiang Xuans eyebrows jumped slightly, and he changed the subject: "Going to visit the prison is fine, but dont mention anything else."

  "Whats the use of me going to visit him? Whats the use!" Li Huaiyu sat down on the edge of the bed, covering her eyes with a handkerchief and crying silently, "You dont care about me at all!"

  "My heart aches for you, but where should the law be placed?" Jiang Xuanjins face turned stern, "Everything has its cause and effect, it cant be because youre my cousin that we disregard the rules."

  "When someone elses family member gets thrown into the big prison, as long as its not a major crime, they can get out. The person by the bed got angry and stiffened their neck, saying But because of your relationship with Ziyang Jun, people are instead going to be locked up in prison until they die! Whats the point of marrying you? I might as well marry Lord Tingwei!"

  "What did you say?!"

  "Am I wrong? Even Lord Lian knows to ask me if Im going to visit the prison, and you, as my husband, from knowing about it till now, havent said a single word?"

  "Do you think Lord Willows way of doing things is correct?"

  "Whats wrong with that? At least its human!"

  "Dont I have human nature?"

  "You, Zi Yang Jun, are simply inhumane!"

  You and I, arguing more and more fiercely, even dragging him in, Liu Yunlie originally wanted to use this Jun Fu to threaten Jiang Xuanjin, so that he would loosen his mouth, but unexpectedly, it didnt work out, instead provoking the person, for a moment somewhat stunned.

  "Mr. Liu, take me away!" The lady in front of him said hastily, "Its all because of you!"

  Huh? He was stunned.

  "Liú Yún Liè, what do you mean by this?" Zi Yang Jun glared at him angrily from the bed.

  Huh? He was even more shocked.

  Whats it got to do with him?!

  "No wonder you had to come over personally to bring this up." Jiang Xuanjin narrowed his eyes at him, "Yun Lie, I treated you with the courtesy of a close friend, never expecting that you would harbor such thoughts!"

  Whats gotten into him? Liu Yunlie was at a loss for words, laughing and crying at the same time: "Xuan Jin, listen to me explain..."

  "No need to say more!" Jiang Xuanjin shouted in a cold voice, "Yu Feng!"

  "Belonging to the lower class."

  "Go and keep an eye on the prison, if Lord Liu dares to bring people in for a jail visit. Or if he releases anyone, report back immediately." He said in a low voice, "I will definitely go before the Emperor and accuse the current government of abusing power for personal gain and perverting the law!"

  "Yes!"

  After instructing him, Jiang Xuanjin looked at him with displeasure and said: "Im not feeling well, Liu Tingwei, you may leave."

  Liu Yunlie, what a nuisance! Why did things turn out this way? The one locked up isnt even his younger brother-in-law, so why is he the one being accused? Wait, what was he here for again?

  Bai Zhuji escorted him to the door, and with a hint of resentment, said: "I understand your intentions, sir, but unfortunately, you are indeed overbearing. Let us part ways here."

  With a "bang", he slammed the door shut.

  Liu Yunlie was bewildered and stared at the carved wooden door for a long time, but couldnt figure out what he had in mind.

  The door closed, and the face that had just been crying turned around and fell onto the bed, laughing with a wide grin. Looking at the stunned figure outside the door, Huaiyu didnt dare make a sound, and simply continued to scratch the quilt.

  Jiang Xuanjin glared at her with a bad temper and asked in a low voice: "Had enough fun?"

  She nodded, placed her head on his lap, rubbed it comfortably, and then looked up at him saying: "Isnt everything for you?"

  Her mind was filled with even more doubts, Jiang Xuanjin reached out and gently tugged on a strand of her hair, weighing his words as he whispered: "You seem to know everything."

  He knew that Liu Yunlie wanted to get him involved in the White familys affairs, and he also knew that he couldnt fall into his trap. Moreover, he reacted extremely quickly and staged this play, cleverly fooling Liu Yunlie without leaving any clues.

  Fourth Miss Bai, newlywed Madame Jun, how did you know so many things? And also, how did you know what to do?

  The person in his arms trembled and asked innocently: "What are you talking about?"

  He frowned: "Playing dumb?"

  "Whats wrong with pretending to be stupid? I just didnt want to go to the big prison to see those two cousins who were bad to me before, so I came up with this nonsense earlier. What were you thinking?"

  Is it really just a coincidence? Jiang Xuanjin twirled her hair and thought for a moment, it seemed to be the case. This person had bad relationships with other members of the White family, and wasnt someone who would repay kindness with kindness either, so it made sense that he wouldnt want to go see the people in prison.

  But... looking at this persons innocent face on his leg, Jiang Xuanjins eyes sank.

  Is it an illusion? I always feel like shes hiding some kind of secret.

  "Whats wrong with you? Uncomfortable again?" Huai Yu reached out to rub his temples, "Lie down and rest for a while."

  "Are you really going to ignore the Bai familys affairs?" he asked in a low voice.

  Li Huaiyu smiled and said: "Ive married you, just take care of your own affairs!"

  Mind your own business? Jiang Xuanjin shook his head: "Take care of yourself."

  Liu Yunlie and others were trying every means to force him to hand over power, but no matter how clever she was, she couldnt handle these things, and he still had to do it himself.

  Ziyang Jun was not in the imperial court, and the Emperor was injured again. He had no choice but to have the Three Dukes assist with governance first. Ziyang Jun had always been diligent and hardworking; the official duties he handled in one day were enough for three people to complete together. Originally, gritting his teeth and persevering, he could hold on for some time, but unfortunately, something happened at the White familys place.

  "What did you say?" Bai Dezhong was furious as soon as he heard the words of Cheng Xukai, and immediately put down the official documents and rushed to the Tingwei prison, holding up his ruler and hitting people. If it werent for the jailer stopping him, the two young masters of the Bai family would have been beaten to death.

  Liu Yunlie saw him coming and was taken aback: "This... why disturb Your Excellency, the Imperial Censor?"

  "Unfilial son, disgracing the White familys reputation! I, Bai Mou, will take charge from now on!" White De said with a heavy scowl. After speaking, he still wanted to beat him up.

  Bai Fusheng and Bai Qilin panicked, hastily knocking their heads: "Uncle, its the gambling den that has a problem, its a black gambling den! Nephews have made mistakes, but not big ones!"

  "Addicted to gambling, fighting with others, and even being locked up in prison! Are these not serious mistakes?" Baides anger was so great that his hand holding the ruler trembled, "You deserve to be beaten to death!"

  "Uncle, youre so wise!" Bai Fusheng hastily said, "Even if you beat your nephew to death today, I must speak out! Its really about the problem with that gambling den. If you investigate, youll know that it has cheated countless people into losing their families and fortunes!"

  "How dare you still try to talk your way out of this?" Bai Des face turned red with rage.

  The white unicorn knocked its head hard, knocking its forehead red: "Nephews really didnt lie!"

  Taking a few deep breaths, Bái Dé calmed down somewhat and asked after a while: "Whats going on?"

  The two of them hastily told him how they had lost several thousand taels with just five taels. Liu Yunlie watched from the side, and suddenly felt a bad premonition in his heart.

  The Tingwei Mansions wing chamber.

  Hua Yu smiled and chatted: "You dont know how strict my dad is, a three-foot-long red wooden ruler, I dont know how many times he hit me."

  Jiang Xuanjin stroked her hair with his hand and said in a light tone, "Bai Yu Shi is a fair-minded person."

  "Its not just being fair, its being overly critical! Many times hes even more extreme than necessary!" Huai Yu pouted, "Im most afraid of him. Once he catches any mistake or omission, hell definitely dig up all the previous mistakes Ive hidden and settle the account once and for all."

  Bai Zhu is not so miserable, she doesnt know, anyway Danyang was messed up by Bai Dezhong.

  "There is a blessing for Northern Wei with people like Bai Yushi around." Jiang Xuanjin said seriously.

  Hua Yu hummed softly and then smiled with deep meaning.

  At times like these, having a Bai Yushi around can indeed be considered a blessing for Northern Wei.

  Jiang Xuanjin gently stroked her and suddenly asked: "Can you write?"

  Hua Yu was taken aback and shook her head: "No."

  "Huh? The young lady of the White Manor doesnt even know how to write?" He looked down at her.

  "...... Im different, didnt I get stupid from being sick?" Huai Yu said, "Ive forgotten everything that happened before I got stupid, so of course I also forgot how to write."

  "Have you all forgotten?"

  "Thats right!"

  "Why is it that you alone remember that Lu Jinghang was on good terms with you?"

  In her heart "thud" sounded, Huai Yu propped herself up and sat up, with a playful smile saying: "Why do you mention Lu Zhuanggui again?"

  "With nothing better to do, I thought about what happened before and suddenly realized that you were inconsistent in your words." Jiang Xuanjin said calmly, "When we first met Lu Jinghang, you clearly remembered him."

  "Its quite a coincidence." She felt a chill behind her back. Her face still wore a smile, "I had actually forgotten about him too, but as soon as I saw him, it all came back to me. Just like when I see my dad, I immediately remember him too."

  "Cant remember people, cant forget things?" Jiang Xuanjin frowned.

  Hua Yu reached out and took his hand, gently stroking it as she said, "Yes, I can only think of people, and I dont even know whats going on with myself. Why did you suddenly ask this?"

  He reached out and wiped away the beads of sweat on her temples, Jiang Xuanjin said: "Its just that I find it strange, so I asked casually."

  This person would never ask casually, he must have noticed something was wrong again. However, he didnt continue asking, and Li Huaiyu wouldnt take the initiative to find trouble, so she turned around and smiled: "You finally listened to what I said? No big deal, if you want to ask, just ask, Ill answer anything."

  "If you have to stay here for another seven days, wont you feel bored?" he asked.

  Can you go out after seven days? Huai Yu heard and rolled her eyes, thinking where did your confidence come from? Would Liu Yunlies group let him rest for only seven days?

  But she smiled and replied: "With you here, why would I feel suffocated?"

  "Whats so good about me?" He raised his eyes, "From the moment you first saw me, it seemed like..."

  He pursed his lips and didnt dare say it.

  "Whats so special about you? You think everyone in Kyoto likes you just because they do? There are plenty of girls who like you, but you still dont know whats good about yourself?"

  "But no one is as persistent in bothering me like you."

  "So no one has been as successful as me!" She proudly raised her face, "Only I married you!"

  Its really... Jiang Xuanjin rubbed his temples. So many decent girls he didnt marry, how did he end up marrying someone like her?

  "Is there anything else youd like to ask?" She said with a smile, "If you dont have any questions, Ill be the one asking."

  "What?"

  "They all say you care about Qing Sheng." Hua Yu blinked, "If you can only choose one between me and Qing Sheng, who would you choose?"

  "Alright." Jiang Xuanjins thin lips opened lightly, answering without any hesitation.

  Hua Yu was taken aback and her face fell: "Why?"

  "Family Rules."

  One of Jiangs family precepts: Take the livelihoods and well-being of the common people as ones own responsibility, and be willing to die for it a thousand times.

  His answer was serious, without deceit or concealment, but Li Huaiyu listened and chuckled twice, turning her head away.

  "Unhappy?" He frowned.

  "No, my husband is a man of great integrity and honor, why should I be unhappy?"

  "...its written all over your face."

  Taking a deep breath, Huai Yu said: "Its my fault for asking the wrong question. I shouldnt have asked that way and caused myself trouble. With so many people in the world, Im just one person, what can I compare with them? Lets forget I ever asked and have lunch instead."

  He shouted out towards the outside: "Cheng Xu".

  The person outside the door came in at the sound and bowed his hands: "Lunch has been sent, I have a message to report."

  "Say."

  "Bai Yu Shi went to the great prison once, and then personally led people to the gambling house on Changan Street. At present, the Tingwei government is sending someone, seemingly to seal something."

  Jiang Xuanjin looked up: "Why would Bai Yushi go to the great prison?"

  Cheng Xu looked at Li Huaiyu, who smiled and said: "Ive reported it! Bai Liangshi and the others used this matter to annoy me, wanting to take advantage of your influence to get someone out, I was angry and let Cheng Xu tell my father."

  A flash of light passed through his eyes, and Jiang Xuanjin said to Cheng Xu, "Invite Xu Yan over together."

  "Yes!"

  In Kyotos underground casinos, not a single one is clean. They all rely on their backstage backers to make a living by preying on people. He had thought of ways to rectify the situation before, but the resistance was too great and he didnt succeed. However, this time only choosing one casino for a thorough investigation, with Bai Dechong going personally, there will definitely be gains. Its just that the Bai family has debts with the casinos, so to avoid suspicion, it would be best if Xu Yin also went together.

  The road that was originally blocked was suddenly opened up by someone, and Jiang Xuanjins mood instantly cleared. He stroked the person in his arms and said, "Your accidental skill is actually not bad."

  "What did I bump into again?"

  She didnt know even if he told her, Jiang Xuanjin hooked his lips, and a light flashed in his ink pupils.

  Bai Dezhong is a stubborn person, if his own family member makes a mistake, he will lock them up and not even try to save them. If theres a problem in the gambling den, hell investigate it thoroughly, disregarding the pleas of people from all walks of life, and with just one days effort, he uncovered all the dark secrets of this gambling den.

  There is no evidence of the thousand, but the black accounts in the gambling house can be investigated clearly. Not to mention tax evasion, there are also large sums of unknown origin of gold and silver circulating here. Bai Dezhong waved his hand and directly sealed it first. Then ask the Tingwei government to assist in the investigation.

  Liu Yunlies face looked very unsightly: "Bai Daren, just the documents alone are already suffocating us, why bring up this case at this time?"

  "We should investigate whenever there is a problem, no matter when."

  This old-fashioned man is even more old-fashioned than him! Liu Yunlie gritted his teeth: "Yesterdays documents have already been piled up for over a hundred, and now busy with the gambling house affairs, its really exhausting!"

  "The Imperial Censors Office has so many people, if you are busy, let Xu Wei follow me instead."

  "But dont you need to read documents?"

  "Ive handed everything over to Prime Minister Qi," said Bai Dezhong. "If he likes to make changes, let him take on more responsibilities."

  Prime Minister Qi indeed liked to read documents, all major events were on his head, wherever something happened, it was clear at a glance. But... he only had a pair of eyes, and no matter how day and night he read, there would always be accumulated documents.

  Summer has arrived, and the Northern Wei Dynasty is experiencing both drought and flood disasters at the same time. Many documents are marked as urgent. Moreover, some of these documents have been reviewed and revised by Jiang Xuanjin before being resubmitted for further processing. How can they be arranged now when no one knows how Jiang Xuanjin had arranged them previously?

  The Purple Sun Master is just talking big, but even with just documents, they cant handle it!

  The first two days, Liu Yunlie and others were still quite happy, sharing the countrys worries, and also showing the value of being a minister. But after the gambling house incident came out, Liu Yunlie felt overwhelmed and finally went to ask Qi Chengxiang: "What to do?"

  Prime Minister Zhi poked his head out of the countless documents, his eyes bloodshot: "Be loyal to the country, stop sleeping, carry on!"

  But some things cant be endured by not sleeping, there are too many urgent documents, and they dont have the bold decision-making of Zi Yang Jun, so they can only watch as the fire slowly burns up.

  Five days later, the urgent memorial was directly presented to the emperor.

  "Where is Prince Zi Yang?" Li Huailian asked pale-faced as he lay on the dragon bed.

  "I report to Your Majesty, the king has been seriously injured and was invited by Lord Tingwei to recuperate at the Tingwei Mansion. Its already been many days since Ive seen him." Yunlan Qing said with a bow.

  "What is he doing in the Court of Judicial Review?" Li Huailian was puzzled. "He should be recovering from his injuries in his own mansion."

  Yunlan Qing glanced at Yi Yang standing beside her.

  The Emperors assassination attempt is a matter of great importance, so Ill stay at the Ministry of Justice to assist Lord Liu in investigating the perpetrator, and also avoid the hassle of traveling back and forth.

  "Absurd!" Li Huailian angrily said, "With your severe injury, are you still letting him investigate the murderer?"

  "But youre a dragon..."

  "My life is saved by Your Majesty!" Li Huailian was slightly angry, "You treat Your Majesty like this, do you want to make me fall into unrighteousness?!"

  Yi Yang bowed his head: "Your Majesty, calm your anger."

  "How could no one come to tell me?" Li Huailun turned his head to look at Yunlanqing, "If it werent for the memorial being delivered today, I asked about it, would you all plan to keep deceiving me forever?"

  Yun Luan Qing helplessly raised his hands: "Your Majesty, a few days ago the imperial physician ordered you to rest and recover in isolation, we couldnt even enter, how could we report?"

  Li Huailian paused for a moment, then said with a hint of frustration: "Never mind that for now. Quickly take the imperial edict and send it to Jiang Fu, rewarding him heavily!"

  "I obey your orders."

  Its probably because His Majesty lost his father at a young age that he relies so heavily on Prince Zi Yang, no wonder those individuals in the court are wary of him. Taking a glance at the imperial edict with the long list of gifts attached to it, Yun Lan Qing let out a sigh as she hurried towards the Ministry of Justice.

  When he arrived at the place, Yun Lianqing was about to shout "The imperial edict has arrived", but as soon as he raised his eyes and took a glance inside, he froze at the door.

  On the bed in the room, Ziyang Jun lay on his side with his head on Bai Zhuis leg, his eyes lightly closed as if he had fallen asleep. Bai Zhui gently patted his back, humming a gentle tune, her eyes warm and tender enough to squeeze out water.

  Hearing footsteps, she turned her head and took a look, saw someone, smiled and pressed her index finger to her lips, signaling him not to make a sound.

  In an instant, Yun Lian Qings mind flashed with six words: Beautiful Woman Village, Heros Tomb.

  However, the hero on the couch had very good hearing, and although he didnt make a big noise, he still opened his eyes.

  "Cloud Master?"

  Hurriedly regaining his composure, Yun Lianqing held the imperial edict in both hands and explained: "Your subordinate has come to proclaim the edict, please return to Jiang Fu to receive your reward."

  Taking a glance at the yellow scroll in his hand, Jiang Xuanjin asked: "Your Majesty is unharmed?"

  "According to the doctor, eating and resting are still normal, but the left hand is still unable to move, although it doesnt hurt as much as before."

  "Thats good." Jiang Xuanjin sat up, put on his clothes and got out of bed, saying, "Ben Jun is going to the palace for a trip, please ask the adults to wait at the Jiang Fu for a while."

  Li Huaiyu heard Yunlan Qing say that Huailin was fine, and just as she was about to let out a sigh of relief, she was startled by his words.

  "Your injury hasnt healed yet, what are you doing going into the palace at this time?" She frowned.

  The man beside him slowly and carefully tied his outer garment: "There is a favor I want."

  "Dont be reckless!" Huai Yu stood up and pulled him back, whispering, "What favor is more important than your own life?!"
