The daughter of the mansion is slapped in the face every day

Chapter 116 Investigation

There was obviously something else behind what Zhao Changyu said just now.

Jiang Yunxi smelled an unusual scent.

Jiang Yunxi moved closer to Zhao Changyu, blinked, and asked him with a smile, "Uncle, do you know what's going on?"

"I don't know what's going on, I just think the timing is too coincidental." Zhao Changyu smiled faintly.

Jiang Yunxi didn't believe him and thought Zhao Changyu was hiding something from her again.

Seeing Zhao Changyu's calm look, Jiang Yunxi waved to Nan Nan and whispered a few words into Nan Nan's ear.

When Mu Kang came back from court and saw Jiang Yunxi, he came to her to resign.

"His Majesty has ordered me to thoroughly investigate the collapse of Anping Bridge. I'm afraid I don't have time to teach Jiang Youfei." Mu Kang's tone was filled with regret.

Jiang Yunxi pouted, feeling that Zhao Changta had really pushed Mu Kang to the forefront, her tone was full of dissatisfaction, "He knew that Zhou Jinghong was Concubine Xian's man and couldn't be used, but he pushed you out, who didn't choose a side. I think he was forcing you to choose a side."

Although Jiang Yunxi did not say who "he" was in person, Mu Kang understood what she said.

"I just don't know which side he wants me to choose." Mu Kang took the teacup handed to him by Zhen Zhen and took a sip.

He was also trying to figure out what Emperor Zhao Changta meant.

"In my opinion, A Fei is a man of outstanding abilities. If there is no one capable person in the Censorate, it would not be a bad idea to let him help you." Zhao Changyu suddenly said.

Jiang Yunxi widened her eyes. She didn't want Jiang Youfei to get involved in this matter. "Actually..."

Jiang Yunxi stopped talking halfway as he looked at Zhao Changyu.

Her brain was racing, trying to connect the dots between Zhao Changyu's recent actions.

"Forget it, I don't care. Anyway, I said before that I won't interfere with how you teach them, so I won't say any more." Jiang Yunxi pursed her lips, "lest someone quit."

Her words were very targeted, and Zhao Changyu smiled faintly after hearing them.

======Yushitai======

Zhou Lingling lifted her skirt and prepared to rush into the Censorate.

Wei Yi stood in front of her and prevented her from entering.

Wei Er entered the room and reported, "Master Mu, Miss Zhou insisted on seeing Master Zhou."

Mu Kang didn't stop writing, and asked in a cold tone, "Can't you get rid of a girl?"

Wei Er pursed his lips slightly embarrassedly.

Mu Kang stopped writing and turned to look at Jiang Youfei who was sitting at the desk next to him. "A Fei, go and send that person away."

Jiang Youfei was stunned for a moment, "I'm not very good at it..."

Having said that, Jiang Youfei followed Wei Er to the door.

Wei Yi was pushing Zhou Lingling backwards, and Zhou Lingling couldn't stand and fell straight to the ground.

Zhou Lingling stood up, brushed off the dust on her clothes, and said righteously, "As a yamen runner, you abused your power for personal gain. Which law prevents me from seeing my father? You relied on your position as a yamen runner to oppress the people. According to the law, you should be punished with 15 strokes of the cane or fined half a year's salary to serve as a warning to others."

Jiang Youfei's lips curled up slightly, and he thought, "This girl from the Zhou family is well versed in the law."

"But you are obstructing the bailiffs from doing their job. According to the law, you should be punished with fifteen strokes of the cane." Jiang Youfei walked to Wei Yi's side.

Wei Yi clasped his fists towards Jiang Youfei and complained, "Sir, this girl won't leave."

Jiang Youfei said calmly, "Go and accept your punishment."

"But..." Wei Yi wanted to explain anxiously.

"Looking at Miss Zhou's look, she doesn't intend to give up. If you don't want her to sue you in the Censorate and make the matter known to the whole city, just pretend you didn't hear what I said." Jiang Youfei stared at Zhou Lingling, slightly curling the corners of his mouth, not giving Zhou Lingling the chance to make a big deal out of it.

Although Wei Yi was somewhat unwilling to accept it, he still walked into the Censorate obediently.

"Who is this gentleman?" Zhou Lingling looked at Jiang Youfei and guessed that he must be rich or noble.

"My last name is Jiang." Jiang Youfei said concisely.

Zhou Lingling bowed to Jiang Youfei and said, "Please, sir, please allow me to visit my father."

Jiang Youfei said, "The Anping Bridge incident has far-reaching implications. No one is allowed to visit, especially direct family members."

He turned and left.

Zhou Lingling did not give up so easily. "Please be flexible. My father has an old illness. If he cannot take the medicine in time, he will suffer from the pain. As a child, I cannot bear to see him get hurt."

Seeing Jiang Youfei stopped, she thought his attitude seemed to be softening, so she took the food box handed to her by the maid and pushed it towards Jiang Youfei, "I'll just give you some medicine and leave."

Jiang Youfei turned around and looked at the food box Zhou Lingling was holding, his expression unchanged, "Write down the prescription, I will find someone to boil the medicine and send it to him. If there is nothing else, please don't hinder the yamen runners from handling the case."

"I want to inquire about the progress of the Anping Bridge case." Seeing that Jiang Youfei was easy to talk to, Zhou Lingling wanted to get some information from him.

"No comment." Jiang Youfei turned and left.

Zhou Lingling had no choice but to give the prescription to Wei Er, and repeatedly asked him to boil the medicine and send it to her every day.

When Mu Kang heard Wei Er's report, he looked at Jiang Youfei with a curled mouth and said jokingly, "Isn't this quite good?"

"I just think that as children, we always want to overturn the verdict for our parents. I'm just putting myself in their shoes." Jiang Youfei thought about what happened to the Jiang family in Daizhou and that the third prince Zhao Zheyong was still at large, and he felt very unwilling to accept that.

Mu Kang knew what happened to the Jiang family in Daizhou, and immediately calmed down. "Your Majesty has already dealt with the case in Daizhou, and it cannot be discussed again."

Jiang Youfei certainly disagreed with Zhao Changta's decision. "I know he is a prince. But half of the lives of people in Daizhou were destroyed by him, and he was only put in solitary confinement. How ridiculous is that?"

"If you want to investigate, you can do whatever you want when you are in my position. But now, you can't cause trouble for your sister." Mu Kang gave Jiang Youfei a glimmer of hope.

At least it delayed Jiang Youfei for a while and prevented him from causing trouble at this critical juncture.

Jiang Youfei nodded, went back to his desk and started reading the documents.

======Duke Zhenguo Mansion======

Jiang Yunxi glanced at Nan Nan, then at Jiang Youcai.

Nan Nan and Jiang Youcai were both looking out the door with serious expressions.

Jiang Yunxi curled her lips, "Why are both of them not in good shape? Isn't it just that Jiang Youfei went out to work? Is it that serious?"

Zhen Zhen also laughed secretly and joked, "She looks very much like a young lady who is looking forward to her husband coming home."

Hearing this, Nan Nan turned around and saluted Jiang Yunxi, then dragged Jiang Youcai out for training.

Jiang Yunxi looked at Master Zhao Changyu, who was leisurely eating watermelon and didn't care about his disciple's life or death at all, and asked, "Why don't you go and take a look?"

"Nannan's attack was not serious, I'm not worried." Zhao Changyu was very relieved, "It's very hot outside, I don't want to go out."

There was a hint of arrogance in his tone.

After hearing the doorman's reply, Zhen Zhen bowed to Jiang Yunxi and said, "Princess, someone has brought a gift."
