After all, she couldn't go back that night, so Xueying had to stay in the village. She got up early the next morning to find Xu Shu, but was blocked by Taxue. Xu Shu was in the house. Xueying dared not have a conflict with Taxue in front of Xu Shu. She waited for half an hour before Xu Shu got up.

On the way back, Wanfeng talked about Pixue's feat today, Xu Shu couldn't help but smile, "You sister Pixue has a good temper, and I don't know what Xueying did, so she has made her so angry!"

Wan Feng pursed his lips, "Sister Xueying is just an errand runner. Sister Xue is not angry at her!" Xueying was just being vented.

Xu Shu smiled and said nothing.

Wan Feng said again, "Sister Taxue is for the good of the lady, she is not afraid of anything for the lady, and she dares to offend anyone!"

"You..." Xu Shu's tone suddenly got insulted, "You are the best thing for me to take good care of yourself!"

Wan Feng was stunned for a while and muttered in a low voice, "Then you didn't take care of yourself!"

Xu Shu couldn't help laughing, "Stop it. Sister Taxue was just preached by you yesterday. You are here again. Please spare me. At least I told me that my ears are pure and pure. When I returned to the mansion, I had a lot of noise!"

"What happened in the mansion...?" Seeing Xu Shu's look unhurried and impatient, Wan Feng couldn't help but be curious.

"There is something wrong with the Song family..."

When he returned to the Xu family, Xu Shu was called to Chunhuiyuan before he could even drink water. Sure enough, Zhou was there. Compared to the last panic, Zhou today was full of horror, as if he was frightened. Seeing Xu Shu was like seeing a savior. He could save her son last time, and this time it would be fine.

Xu Shu fell down and looked at the seat, "What's wrong with my mother calling me back in such a hurry? Xueying didn't say a word. She just passed the curfew yesterday, which made me anxious all night!"

"You've been miserable!" Li's attitude is particularly gentle when asked for help.

"Auntie is here too!" Xu Shu said hello to Zhou.

"My niece!" Zhou smiled very much.

After serving tea, Li said carefully, "Do you still remember the birthday of the Empress Dowager and your Aunt Song came to the palace a while ago?"

Xu Shu nodded, "Of course I remember!"

After looking at Zhou, Zhou closed his eyes in shame. The Song family was involved in the corruption case and it was okay to say that it was not bad to Xu Shu. Li continued, "That day, your Aunt Song entered the palace to see Concubine Wen. The two uncles of your Song family were involved in a case, but what did the upper part mean? Your Aunt Song wanted to ask Concubine Wen for help in inquire about the news. He didn't expect that the news of Concubine Wen was seriously ill in the palace yesterday. In desperation, he thought that you often entered the palace, so your Aunt Song came to you!"

Xu Shu turned her head and looked at Zhou, "What does aunt mean..."

Zhou said with a blushing face, "I know this is a difficult situation for you, but our Song and Xu families are in-laws, one prospers and one loses, and one loses. You don't want to see the Song family go into trouble. Seeing your sister marrying into a decaying family, Zhou felt embarrassed from the bottom of his heart.

Xu Shu smiled and said, "Auntie may as well say anything. I will never postpone the one I can help!"

Zhou's face turned redder, "I... my niece is favored by the Empress Dowager. There must be a large number of rewards in the palace every New Year. This treatment is better than that of many county lords and monarchs in the royal family. The Empress Dowager loves her niece so much. If her niece asks for something, the Empress Dowager will definitely give her niece three points of shame!"

Xu Shu said in surprise, "What aunt meant was to ask me to go and ask the Empress Dowager for information?"

Of course, Zhou did not mean this, and it was not just that, but seeing Xu Shu's expression seemed to have made her embarrassed by inquiries, so how could she say the next words?

Li coughed, "Don't interrupt, let your aunt finish!"

Xu Shu looked at Zhou again. Zhou hesitated for a moment. Thinking about the current situation of the Song family, he didn't care about his face. "Auntie wants to ask you to tell the Empress Dowager that our Song family is willing to repay the embezzlement twice, no, triple the amount of money they have embezzled, and then give it lightly!" Even the word "seeking" was used, and Zhou's attitude was low enough.

Seeing Xu Shu stunned, Zhou explained, "We are different from those who sell official positions. We did not do anything that is harmful to the world. It was just... just to make some money by taking advantage of our position. This is the norm in the officialdom. Everyone is like this, not only ours!"

"Aunt...I..." Xu Shu hesitated.

Xu Shu really didn't expect that the Song family planned like this. Can three times repayment eradicate the fact of corruption? Corruption is corruption. No matter how many reasons or excuses it is, it is still corruption! Is the idea of ​​triple repayment the two masters of the Song family meant? People who have been in the officialdom for many years and have been in high positions can only come up with such a bad idea. Is it a desperate situation or is there another relationship?

"Auntie knows that you are in a difficult situation! Your aunt doesn't force you. Please, for your sister's sake, you can help the Song family to ask for love with the Empress Dowager. The aunt will make a gift to repay you for your great kindness in the next life!"

Zhou mentioned Xu Ting all the time, and it immediately hit the soft flesh in Li's heart. "Sister Shu, it's almost winter, you're going to go to the palace to offer incense. While the Empress Dowager is happy, it's not difficult for you to mention a few words!"

"The Empress Dowager Taihun said that the harem must not interfere in politics. This spring, Jipin was sentenced to death for asking for an official position for her father. In order to shock the harem, the Empress Dowager Taihun did not hide this matter. Everyone in Manjing knew about it! Is the mother asking her daughter to die?" Xu Shu lowered her head, and her confusing tone made people feel heartbroken.

Li choked and said in pain, "How can I bear to give up for my mother? The matter is not as serious as you said. Concubine Ji not only angered the Empress Dowager because of her official request. She was arrogant and contradicted Concubine Shu several times, and then she brought forbidden medicine from outside the palace to the palace before she was sentenced to death!"

'"Yes, yes!" Zhou nodded, "We are different. Concubine Ji is greedy for money and good power, and is for profit. We... you feel sorry for your sister, and you can't bear to suffer all the hardships at such a young age, so you went to plead with mercy!"

"It's right!" Xu Shu pulled the corner of her mouth, "For the sake of her own selfish interests, she can embezzle her, and after the incident, she vomited out again in order to save her life. But I, for my own selfish love, took care of the national laws and disturbed the harem. Where did such selfish behaviors impose Dayin's laws?"
