After Zhao Liang was dealt with, Zhao Yanping ate lunch at home in a hurry, and immediately returned to the yamen.

In the afternoon, neighbors came to visit her and asked Mrs. Zhao what was going on at home.

No matter how unreliable the grandson is, he is still a relative grandson. He can curse himself no matter how he scolds him. The family scandals cannot be made public. Old Mrs. Zhao gave Zhao Liang face and fooled him vaguely. The old ladies did not hear the truth, but seeing that Ah Jiao was serving Mrs. Zhao diligently, Old Lady Zhao seemed to be very satisfied with her, so the old ladies had another guess.

First, Gillian was indeed innocent when she came out of Huayue Tower, otherwise Old Mrs. Zhao would not have liked her.

Second, the scholarly lady usually criticizes Ah Gillian for being accused. Ah Gillian is honest and decent at first sight. Since ancient times, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are difficult to get along with. As a mother-in-law and grandmother, Mrs. Zhao has been dependent on her grandson for so many years. Ah Gillian can win the favor of Mrs. Zhao. How good is she? The scholarly lady is the real evil person. She bullies her niece and deliberately spreads bad things about her niece.

The old ladies are so sure that they will definitely spread out, but it will take time and it will be impossible for Gillian to turn over her reputation within a day.

Ah Jiao didn't know what others were thinking. Cui Niang did the rough work at home, and she had no entertainment except serving Mrs. Zhao.

In the evening, Zhao Yanping came back. Seeing Cui Niang sweeping the fallen leaves in the yard, Zhao Yanping walked over and asked Cui Niang in a low voice: "How much money did you spend to buy medicine today?"

Half a day passed, Cui Niang remembered it very clearly and said, "I spent two or three cents. The official asked what to do?"

Zhao Yanping did not answer, but only told Cui Niang not to mention the old lady that he had asked about this.

After saying that, Zhao Yanping fetched water and went to the backyard to clean it.

Old Mrs. Zhao was not energetic and was not energetic for the time being to urge Ah Gillian to serve her grandson. But before going to bed at night, Old Mrs. Zhao held Ah Gillian's hand and repeatedly reminded her: "Don't forget what I said to you in the morning. When it should be bold, you will win over the hearts of the official. Isn't you the one who enjoys happiness?"

Ajiao coaxed the old lady and said, "Don't worry, I know what to do."

Old Mrs. Zhao had taken medicine and was so sleepy that she yawned repeatedly.

Gillian put down her tent and thought to herself that the old lady would definitely not go to the corner of the world these nights, and she and the officials could sleep soundly.

Taking it to the door, Gillian walked out of the west room.

"The old lady is sleeping?" Zhao Yanping came back with a foot wash and even made a new pot of Gilliana. He looked at her without any emotion.

Gillian nodded.

Zhao Yanping went to the east room and placed the foot basin in front of the bed. He continued to read at the desk.

Gillian washed her feet quietly.

After both of them lay down, Zhao Yanping suddenly stuffed two pieces of silver from the bottom of the bed and whispered: "This is a three tael of silver. I will pay you back today's money for buying medicine. You decide to buy some fish, shrimp, meat and vegetables for the old lady. She is used to saving and can't bear to spend her own money. You only talk about the dowry silver."

Gillian didn't go to get the money and lay down to him, as if he could see his cold face: "Why are the official so polite? I got married and I am from the Zhao family. The old lady is kind to me. What's wrong with me spending my private money to honor her?"

Zhao Yanping was silent for a moment and said, "If you really treat yourself as a member of the Zhao family, I should support you."

Gillian had already thought about how she would persuade him to be polite, but unexpectedly, she suddenly said that the official wanted to support herself.

His heartbeat suddenly accelerated. Gillian covered her chest and asked excitedly: "Official, you, are you saying that you want me to be your person and you will no longer think about sending me out?"

Zhao Yanping looked at the top of the bed and replied, "Unless you want to leave yourself."

Gillian hurriedly said, "No, I said, as long as the official does not dislike me, I will be my official's person in my life and death."

Zhao Yanping closed his eyes: "Okay, when I get the news about Xiangyun, I will accept you."

Gillian gently scratched the horn of the quilt, and wanted to ask if there was no news about Miss Xiangyun, would the official have to ban himself for the rest of his life?

But this is too unlucky. The official suffered so much when he was a child. Gillian hoped that the official could find Miss Xiangyun.

Gillian was not afraid of staying with the official for the rest of her life, but she was afraid that when the official really found Miss Xiangyun, she would have lost her color. At that time, the official was disliked and refused to let her down.

So, she still had to find an opportunity to ask the official to ask her.

A Jiao thought that the official vowed in front of the Bodhisattva that he would not get married if he could not find his sister, but she was just a concubine and could not have children. She was not considered the official's family. If the official was with her, he could not be considered a violation of his oath.

"Did you do it last night?" Early in the morning, Mrs. Zhao came to ask again.

Gillian lowered her head and nodded shyly. Anyway, the old lady didn't listen to the corner, so the old lady didn't know whether she was lying.

Old Mrs. Zhao was very relieved, but fortunately her grandson did not develop a mind that was indifferent to women. If Gillian didn't even want her grandson to take the initiative to send her to her, she would be desperate.

Mrs. Zhao had a glimmer of hope. In the afternoon, Gillian's menstrual affairs came, just like Mrs. Zhao worked hard to find a general to surrender her grandson. The two of them had only passed a few moves and had not yet decided the outcome. The general she found fell ill first and could not be used for at least several days.

"Forget it, you go and lie down in the house, don't serve me." Old Mrs. Zhao waved her hand listlessly.

Gillian was made to laugh because of the old lady's rich expression changes.

Gillian did not tell the official about her health. Anyway, the official would not touch her for the time being.

On September 15th, Zhao Yanping announced at the dinner table that he would go to the capital with the magistrate to the next day.

"Grandma, the lord said that when we are back on the 20th, let Gillian take care of you when I am away, so you can rest assured and not worry about me."

Zhao Yanping said seriously, but after saying that, he saw the old lady's face getting longer and longer, and she looked very unhappy.

Zhao Yanping frowned. He had gone out with the magistrate to do a job before, but his grandmother did not object. What happened this time?

Old Mrs. Zhao didn't object before because she had never doubted that aspect. Now she has determined that her grandson is entangled with the magistrate with the red lips and white teeth. How could she feel at ease to let the two go to the city alone and stay for three nights?

"There are so many people in the county government office, why do you have to go?" Old Mrs. Zhao put down the bowl and did not hide her displeasure.

Seeing that the old lady was about to get angry, Gillian had already stopped eating and listened nervously.

Zhao Yanping explained: "The magistrate Han summoned the magistrates of the county to go to the capital city to discuss politics. The adults were willing to cultivate me and asked me to listen to the report of the major case in the county. My grandmother didn't want me to go because she was worried that the third brother would come again to cause trouble?"

Old Mrs. Zhao snorted: "You beat him like that, and you won't dare to come if you borrow a few courages."

Zhao Yanping said strangely: "Then why don't you like it?"

Old Mrs. Zhao pursed her lips and asked again after a while: "You are the only ones who are the adults? Haven't brought anyone else?"

Zhao Yanping: "There is also the adult servant Shun Ge'er."

Old Mrs. Zhao narrowed her eyes: "Since the lord has brought the servant to serve you, then you can bring Gillian with her. She won't go out with you during the day, and she will make a bed and warm the bed for you tonight."

Gillian raised her head in shock. Can she still bring such a thing with her?

Zhao Yanping had a deep sword-brow and said without any discussion: "No, the adults didn't take their wives, concubines and maids, how can I take my concubines and concubines?"

Old Mrs. Zhao also insisted: "You can let Gillian dress up as a servant. You have a deep personal relationship with you and you won't mind it."

What else Zhao Yanping wanted to say? Old Mrs. Zhao suddenly covered her head and said, "Don't annoy me. If you don't take Ah Jiao, I will be worried. If I don't feel at ease, I will not be able to rest well. Do you want to see me fall into bed and never get off the floor again?"

Even though Gillian saw that the old lady was pretending, she could only come over to support the old lady and skillfully rub the old lady's chest.

Old Mrs. Zhao leaned against Ajiao and looked at her grandson with her eyes.

This was simply unreasonable. Zhao Yanping left the bowls and chopsticks and went into the house with a cold face.

As soon as he left, Old Mrs. Zhao immediately sat down and had a meal as if nothing had happened.

Ajiao said in confusion: "Old lady, you appreciate the official, this is a good thing for the official, what are you?"

Old Mrs. Zhao glared at her: "If you shouldn't ask less if you shouldn't have any questions."

Gillian shrank her neck and didn't dare to ask again.

After eating, Mrs. Zhao went into the house. Gillian glanced at the official’s bowl. She hadn’t eaten much at all, so she went to the east room and whispered: “Official, the old lady is back in the house, the food is still hot. Come out and eat something quickly. Let’s talk about it when you have enough to eat.”

Zhao Yanping had no appetite and lay on the bed and said, "Let Cui Niang clean up the table."

Gillian's face and cold tone were even more afraid to persuade him.

While Gillian was washing her feet, Zhao Yanping went to the west room and sat beside the bed and asked the old lady: "Grandma, you are not an unreasonable person. Why don't you want me to go to the capital?"

Old Mrs. Zhao lying with her back to him, angrily saying, "You know it in your heart."

Zhao Yanping had a headache: "How can I know what you are thinking?"

Old Mrs. Zhao didn't want to reveal the secret of her grandson, but since her grandson forced her to say that Old Mrs. Zhao sat up and stared at her grandson and said, "You haven't married for a long time. In addition to suspecting that you have any problems with your health, some people even said that you are a manly person. I am your grandmother. I know that your health is better than anyone else!"

Zhao Yanping was stunned and paused before he realized what a good male style was.

So, my grandmother suspected that he had that habit, so she took Gillian over, and then went to listen to his wall every day, and then opposed him going to the city with the handsome magistrate?

Zhao Yanping had a more headache and turned around and said, "You believe this kind of thing, I don't know what to say."

Old Mrs. Zhao was aggressive: "Why do I believe it? It's not because you are unwilling to marry a wife at such age. If I don't believe it, then tell me why you are unwilling to marry a wife?"

Zhao Yanping frowned and asked back, "I have taken a concubine, can't this prove that I'm not good at that?"

Old Mrs. Zhao sarcastically said, "You are taking a concubine, but you are not the attitude that a normal man should have towards Gillian. You are not even willing to let Gillian close to serve him. Who are you fooling?"

The old lady has her own logic, and Zhao Yanping couldn't even refute it, and almost believed the old lady's speculation.

"Forget it, since you don't believe it, I won't go."

He couldn't convince the old lady, and he couldn't get angry with the old lady, so Zhao Yanping had to choose to compromise.

Looking at the grandson's back as he left, Old Mrs. Zhao had no regrets. The young magistrate asked his grandson to go to the city without any serious thought, so it would be fine if he didn't go this trip.

The next day, Zhao Yanping went to the court to find the magistrate Xie Ying, saying that he could not go.

Xie Ying knew that Zhao Yanping wanted to go, so he asked the reason: "The old lady is not feeling well and can't live without people?"

Zhao Yanping was able to fool the old lady, but he couldn't lie to the magistrate completely, so he said helplessly: "The old lady is old and confused. Recently, I heard about my gossip about being a good man. I was worried that I would be in trouble in the city and insisted on taking my concubine with me."

Xie Ying thought he would hear some serious reason, but he never expected it to be because of this!

He smiled unkindly, and his face suddenly changed as he smiled.

Xie Ying remembered that at the beginning of the month, he went to the Zhao family for a wedding banquet. The guests of the Zhao family flattered him and pleased him. Only the old lady looked strange and seemed dissatisfied. However, Xie Ying believed that she had never offended Mrs. Zhao, so she did not think deeply. Now when she thought about it, since Mrs. Zhao suspected that her grandson was a manly style, then, the handsome magistrate who was inseparable from Zhao Yanping, wasn’t he the most suspicious candidate for Mrs. Zhao? In fact, Mrs. Zhao opposed her grandson’s trip to the city. He was really guarding against him?

The smile at the corner of his mouth was frozen, and Xie Ying looked at Zhao Yanping with complicated eyes.

Zhao Yanping's eyes were low, and he secretly hoped that the magistrate had not guessed the truth.

After a long silence, Xie Ying suddenly laughed and said, "Forget it, since the old lady suspected that Brother Zhao had that kind of habit, Brother Zhao should bring her concubine with her to dispel her suspicion. Moreover, Brother Zhao also had to take her concubine with her so that those people who were randomly guessing knew that Brother Zhao favored her concubine and was so spoiled that she could not bear to separate for a day."

Zhao Yanping raised his head in disbelief.
