Not far from here, the Ministry of War Shangshu Mansion is a peaceful scene at this time.

In the huge house, the servants perform their duties.The cook who washed the vegetables moved very quickly, and in two or three strokes, the different vegetables were cleaned and arranged neatly by category.The handmaids who wash the clothes gathered together, soaked the clothes, put some plant ash on them, rubbed them clean, sprinkled them with spices and rinsed them again, and when the sun dried, the clothes were full of a faint fragrance.The servant who was punished in the firewood room was picking up an ax to chop wood, and the supervisor warned him not to commit another crime while collecting firewood.

In the bedroom, Han Zhuoying sat at the table and embroidered on the robe stitch by stitch. Her pair of willow-leaf eyebrows were graceful, her eyes stared at the stitches seriously, but her movements were not slow.

"lady."

Han Zhuoying didn't raise her head, and asked slowly, "But your lord has returned from the palace?"

"No, it's Madam, your brother is here."

Han Zhuoying pinned the embroidery needle to the ball of thread, spread out the clothes and smoothed them out, then got up and took the handkerchief: "Lead me to the hall."

"Yes."

Han Zhuoying is Han Miao's biological younger sister, and the Han family was originally a wealthy family, but when the family fortune fell by accident, the Han family and his wife both committed suicide by jumping into the river.Fortunately, Han Miao had a marriage contract with Liu Yeyun, a young lady of the Liu family, so Han Miao distributed the rest of his money to a group of servants and dismissed him, and brought his only younger sister, Han Zhuoying, into the Liu family's gate.

The days of living under the fence are always sad. Han Miao sits in the position of Minister of the Household Department that may not belong to him at any time, and is timid and cowardly in front of Liu Yeyun all day long, and his temper becomes more and more timid.But Han Zhuoying is different, even if she is underestimated, she still lives a generous life. She has read poetry and books at a young age, helped Liu Yeyun manage the housework, and arranged everything in the house properly. The servants are also submissive.Liu Yeyun really looked at her differently, and took this so-called younger sister more seriously.

Han Zhuoying is 25 years old this year. Twenty-eight years ago [-] years ago, she fell in love with Li Bingcheng, the left servant of the Ministry of War who was a guest at Liu's house. With the help of his brother and sister-in-law, Li Bingcheng also fell in love with this tough and stable personality. Generous girl, this love affair was considered a good story in Qiongli at that time.

Han Miao was a little tired after walking all the way. He sat on a chair in the hall and took a sip of hot tea. He saw Han Zhuoying's servant girl walking in slowly behind him. He hurriedly put down his teacup and hurriedly greeted him two steps.

"Brother, calm down, what do you look like in a hurry?"

Han Miao smiled shyly at Han Zhuoying: "What Zhuoying said is true, brother knows."

This younger sister has been good since she was a child and never let him worry about it. It was just like this that Han Miao felt extremely guilty towards her.

Han Zhuoying helped him to sit down next to him, stretched out his hand and smoothed his sleeves: "Brother, didn't you bring any servants to serve you today?"

"I walked here secretly by myself. My brother has something important to tell you, and I want you to help me with an idea."

Han Zhuoying raised her eyebrows after taking a sip of tea, but she put down her teacup just for a moment, and wiped her mouth with a handkerchief.

"Sister, someone sent me a letter an hour ago, do you know who it is?"

"When is this? My brother is still playing tricks. I don't have a clue. How can Zhuoying guess?"

Han Miao rubbed his hands, took out the envelope in his arms, and handed it to Han Zhuoying. The expression on his face was no longer as relaxed as before, and even a little dignified.

Seeing the words "Feng Qingyi", Han Zhuoying's gaze froze, her eyelids remained motionless, the corners of her mouth were pursed, and a strong aura emanated from her body, as if there was a ray of powerlessness in the hatred .

After a long time, she withdrew all her strong emotions, and spoke lightly, as if the gaffe just now was an accident: "Brother, do you know what happened?"

Han Miao raised his eyes to look at Han Zhuoying, and then dodged away after meeting her gaze. His lips trembled a few times, and then he said something close to Han Zhuoying's ear.

"There is such a thing? But who ordered it?"

Han Zhuoying knew that this brother was cowardly, and he would never dare to do anything out of line, and he would never dare to do that if no one commanded him.

"That person gave orders, but told me to act in secret, so that no clues can be discovered... This is not going to be handled right now, brother, I'm afraid, I'm afraid—"

Han Miao wiped his neck with his hand as a knife, the corners of his mouth were so constricted that even his hands were trembling.

"Brother, don't panic." Han Zhuoying put one hand on the handle of the chair, "Right now, she told you to go as soon as she got some news, she must not have conclusive evidence yet, you must grit your teeth and die Admit it, let’s deal with today first.”

"Remember, you must never say a word wrong, and you must never mention that person. As long as you don't let go, even if she is a prince, she can't do anything with you as a minister."

After hearing Han Zhuoying's analysis, Han Miao breathed a sigh of relief. He knew that this trip was not in vain, and that his sister was spiritual and could definitely help him.It's just that his younger sister has already left the house, so he can't come to see her often, lest he be talked about and ruin her reputation.If it was in the early years, Liu Yeyun would definitely be able to help him, even if he couldn't come up with an idea to comfort him, it would be good, but now...

Thinking of the way Liu Yeyun pointed at him and angrily cursed him to die before going out, Han Miao sighed, stretched his legs and stomped his feet in disappointment.

"Brother, but sister-in-law made you angry again?"
