“I do know. Go get Concubine Mei and ask her to tie my hair and alter my garments.”

Justice of the Peace Liu returned to his senses from his deranged state. He regarded on the free hair hanging down from his brow and wiped his face earlier than giving his orders.

Now that his first spouse had develop into a burden to him, and Mei Xiang and the opposite concubines’ standing had been too low, they couldn’t be dropped at the desk in any respect, so it was time to search for candidates for the subsequent spouse of the county Justice of the Peace prematurely.

Though Mei Xiang was this technology’s private maidservant, she was additionally a sensible and timid girl. She ought to know when to make a better option.

Quickly, the door of the examine was frivolously knocked a couple of occasions. After the county Justice of the Peace responded, his concubine Mei Xiang walked in.

She held a basin of water and a towel in her fingers, whereas the little maidservant behind her held the Justice of the Peace’s official hat and boots.

“Eldest Grasp, I’ll first allow you to wipe your face and clear your physique.”

Mei Xiang motioned for the maidservant to place the issues down, after which personally wrung a scorching towel and walked over to the Justice of the Peace to place it on his face. She pressed it down earlier than taking it off.

The Justice of the Peace closed his eyes and let her do no matter she needed. After wiping his face, she wiped his physique after which helped him change his garments.

She regarded up in a panic, desirous to apologize, however she regarded straight right into a pair of chilly eyes. She held her breath and her thoughts went clean.

Mei Xiang didn’t know the way she walked out of the examine. When she got here again to her senses, she had already walked out to the courtyard.

The Justice of the Peace had already left the examine to go to the courtroom to analyze a case. She adopted behind him. When the Justice of the Peace was not round, nobody was allowed to enter the examine.

Though Mei Xiang was standing underneath the recent solar, she couldn’t suppress the chilliness that was rising throughout her physique. She tried to rub her arms together with her fingers, attempting to make herself really feel a hint of heat.

If she didn’t guess unsuitable, the primary grasp’s that means was for her to decide on a facet, however why did she have to decide on a facet?

The madam and he had been each her masters, however as soon as she began selecting sides, it meant that she may solely have one grasp.

Mei Xiang shook her head onerous to do away with the horrible thought in her thoughts. Although she tried onerous to not suppose in that path, she was already very clear in her coronary heart that this household was going to vary.

The county Justice of the Peace was in a superb mind-set within the afternoon. The 2 circumstances had been rapidly investigated with none errors. This made the advisor, who had been on tenterhooks, lastly set free a sigh of aid.

After leaving the corridor, he tried to ask the Justice of the Peace, “Grasp, you had a superb relaxation this afternoon and also you appear to be in a superb temper.”

The Justice of the Peace smiled and nodded. A nap at midday can certainly make one really feel refreshed. I really feel significantly better after waking up.

He was a decisive individual. Since he had already decided, the subsequent step was to place it into motion. Nevertheless, the plan needed to be performed extra comprehensively in order that nobody would discover any clues.

The county Justice of the Peace didn’t really feel responsible in any respect. Liu Wangshi had been childless for therefore a few years, however he had not divorced her and remarried. He had already performed his greatest. Now that she had develop into his greatest burden and impediment, there was nothing unsuitable with him abandoning her.

The advisor didn’t know what the Justice of the Peace was considering, however he was effectively conscious of one other matter, the Justice of the Peace’s best fear.

He hesitated for a second, however nonetheless selected to lean in nearer to the Justice of the Peace’s ear and whispered, “Grasp, I’ve heard some information just lately. I ponder for those who’d like to listen to it.”

“Oh, what information?”

The county Justice of the Peace’s face had a faint smile, however after seeing the advisor’s expression, his smile regularly grew to become darkish.

“Is it associated to her?”

He requested subconsciously.

“Outdated Grasp, that girl discovered a personal tutor for her infants a while in the past. Are you aware who that individual is?”

The advisor fastidiously mentioned. As he spoke, he noticed the county Justice of the Peace’s expression, afraid that if he mentioned one thing unsuitable, he can be the one guilty.

That girl, Mo Ruyue, was the county Justice of the Peace’s greatest fear now. If he may resolve this downside, he would develop into the one who the county Justice of the Peace relied on essentially the most sooner or later.

With the eldest grasp’s means to conduct himself, it might not be an issue for him to be promoted sooner or later. He would additionally profit from it, which was crucial factor to him.

That individual was Du Zhongheng, the Du Zhongheng who was the primary scholar on this planet again then!

The advisor had taken the initiative to disclose the reply to the query, however the County Justice of the Peace was momentarily at a loss for a solution. When he lastly reacted, he learn the title once more earlier than he revealed an expression of realization.

“You simply mentioned that she discovered Du Zhongheng to be a personal tutor for her kids?”

The title Du Zhongheng was merely shameful for all the scholars on this planet. Though his expertise was the very best on this planet, he truly dared to go in opposition to the world’s taboo and brazenly problem the foundations of etiquette. He was instantly ordered by the Tian household to not take part within the imperial examination for the remainder of his life.

Now, so long as his title was talked about, which scholar wouldn’t spit at him fiercely? and Mo Ruyue had truly invited such an individual to be her baby’s personal faculty instructor?

She was chopping off her baby’s future!

The county Justice of the Peace smiled sinisterly. He all of the sudden realized that in comparison with framing Mo Ruyue, making a fuss concerning the folks round her appeared to make her endure extra. Furthermore, she had personally delivered this chance to him.

“Go, ship a dependable individual to analyze this matter completely. I need essentially the most detailed investigation report by tomorrow night time.”

The Justice of the Peace checked out his personal advisor and emphasised as soon as extra, “You need to discover a sensible and dependable one. I don’t want that sort of one-track minded hothead. Mo Ruyue isn’t straightforward to get together with. Don’t spoil my plans.”

“Don’t fear, grasp. I’ll be sure the whole lot’s organized for you.”

The advisor’s face bloomed right into a smile when he heard this, and he promised the Justice of the Peace repeatedly.

As he watched his personal advisor depart to make preparations, the Justice of the Peace stroked his beard and felt his temper enhance.
