Female Master: Why doesn’t my wife love me yet?

Chapter 405: Still in Good Health

There was a hint of fear on Jia Yue's face.

She didn't know what happened just now, but she suddenly spoke out her inner thoughts.

At this moment, everyone's eyes looking at her changed immediately, and they all blamed her.

"What? The truth is actually like this!"

"I said from the beginning that Gu Wenxi would never steal."

"Tsk tsk tsk, Jia Yue actually deliberately framed others. We should stay away from her from now on."

Jia Yue subconsciously looked at the person who brought Wen Shubai, as if asking her what to do.

When she was at home, her mother told her to find a way to ruin Gu Wenxi's reputation so that the academy would not accept her.

Jia Yue thought she had done it perfectly. She secretly stuffed the bracelet into Xixi's bag when no one was around, and then deliberately took it out of her bag, making everyone think she was a thief.

But for some reason, she felt like she was possessed and actually said what was in her heart.

However, Wen Shubai was not going to give up.

Because from the very beginning, that person pushed the blame onto Xixi without finding out the whole story, making him mistakenly believe that it was his daughter who started it first.

But neither he nor Gu Qingyuan would instigate Xixi to steal things.

Master Qin smiled awkwardly and said, "It's a misunderstanding. It's good that the matter is resolved now."

Xixi pulled at the corner of Wen Shubai's clothes and said in a wronged voice, "Dad, my back hurts."

Wen Shubai said distressedly: "I'll apply medicine to you when we get home later."

Master Qin took Jia Yue aside to apologize to Xixi, saying, "This is just a child's ignorance. Lord Wen, please don't take it to heart."

After all, Wen Shubai's other identity is the youngest prince in the palace.

In other words, Xixi still has royal blood in her body.

Wen Shubai glanced at Jia Yue and said calmly, "It would be best if it were just a dispute between children."

If I remember correctly, there was an official in the court who had a grudge against the Gu family. His surname was Jia.

In that case, it makes sense.

Jia Yue deliberately framed Xixi so that when her reputation spread, everyone would despise her, and even Gu Qingyuan and General Gu would be affected.

Master Qin still didn't understand why Wen Shubai said that, but the person who brought him here was already sweating profusely.

Considering that Jia Yue was also injured, Wen Shubai didn't say anything more and let Yu Shui carry Xixi home.

Huahua was originally sleeping under the eaves. When she saw her little master coming back, she stretched and came to her feet.

As soon as Xixi saw Huahua, she suddenly felt that the pain in the wounds on her body was gone. She happily picked up Huahua and touched it.

Wen Shubai found medicine to treat the injury and let her into the house.

Xixi said awkwardly: "Dad..."

"what happened?"

She said word by word at this time: "The book says that there are differences between men and women. I am already four years old."

Wen Shubai was silent for a moment, and asked Chunfen, who was beside Gu Qingyuan, to come and apply medicine to her.

How come after coming back from school, my own daughter started to distance herself from me?

General Gu naturally knew that Xixi was injured in the academy, especially when she learned that it was a child named Jia who caused Xixi to be injured.

The next day, General Gu went directly to question Jia Shaofu during the court session.

She did not give Jia Shaofu any face at all, and impeached Jia Shaofu for embezzling a lot of daily necessities and luxury goods when providing them to the royal family.

Mrs. Jia was an old woman, and General Gu pointed at her nose and scolded her, but she was in the wrong.

The Queen had met Xixi several times and liked her very much. When she learned that someone from the Jia family was injured, her face immediately darkened.

"Lord Jia, is what General Gu said true?"

Jia Shaofu stepped forward and said to the empress, "I will definitely teach Jia Yue a lesson."

The Empress said indifferently, "Grand Censor, after the court session, please check the Jia family's expenses in recent years."

Cold sweat broke out on Jia Shaofu's forehead.

You have to know that this Imperial Censor is the most selfless person. No matter who wants to bribe her with money, it will not work.

So the Queen asked her to investigate. The Jia family had recently been embezzling things that were originally intended for the royal family. They were finished!

General Gu looked at Jia Shaofu's face, which was like a color palette, sometimes blue and sometimes black, and flicked his sleeves.

No one can bully the Gu family’s treasure!

Xixi originally wanted to go to the academy the next day, but Wen Shubai wanted her to recuperate for a while before going back.

"Then what should I do with the lessons I've missed?"

Wen Shubai bent his fingers and tapped her forehead lightly.

"Now you know how to study hard. It's okay. Dad brought all the books back for you. You can read them at home."

Gu Qingyuan returned home in the evening and learned that Xixi was injured.

Without saying a word, she went out again under the cover of night.

Of course, she would not do it herself, but would go to the Tianji Pavilion and find someone to deal with the Jia family secretly.

After that day, Jia Yue felt ashamed to stay in the academy and applied for leave of absence on the grounds of feeling unwell.

Young Master Jia was scolded by General Gu during the day, and was also upset because the Jia family was being investigated.

She went to her maid's room, wanting to immerse herself in the gentle embrace, but as soon as she entered, she found the room was pitch black.

Originally, the servant of Mr. Jia was tied up and thrown under the bed. The people from Tianji Pavilion put on human skin masks and imitated the servant's voice.

Jia Shaofu thought that the attendant wanted to play some game with her, but when she entered, she was slapped several times.

Afterwards, the screams of Jia Shaofu were heard from the house. The servants of the Jia Mansion sighed: "Our master is still in such good health at his age."

Another servant from the Jia Mansion said, "Yes, yes, she must be having a lot of fun with the servant now."

No one took Jia Shaofu's screams seriously, and they thought it was just a pleasure between her and the new maid.

......

After a good rest, Qingluan took the money on her and came to Zuihonglou.

At this time, the madam happened to be less busy. Seeing him, she asked, "What's the matter? Is it hard to get along outside? Are you coming back to my Zuihonglou?"

He even kept Qingluan's room for Qingluan.

Qingluan shook her head and said, "Didn't you say last time that you could return Master Gu's jade pendant to me for 1,500 taels? Here's the money."

He pushed the money in the purse over.

The money inside was not all large sums, but there were also some small coins of half an ounce or one ounce.

In addition to taking on missions, he also saved up the money through his own frugality.

After counting, the madam realized that Qingluan had actually earned so much money in the years since she left Zuihonglou.

He asked in disbelief, "Where did you get all this money?"

Qingluan didn't want to waste time talking to him and reached out her hand to him.

The madam reluctantly took out the jade pendant and handed it to Qingluan.
